ADVOCATES GOOD PLAN

Joseph Kraig, of Mount Zion. ILL.,,
is here looking after property in
terests. He owns tract of land just
east of Ordway which is under lease
by Cap. Wharton. Mr.. Kraig visits
Ordway each year and was here for
several weeks a year ago.
In speaking of some of the drives
in raising war funds. Mr.. Kraig ad-
vocated the plan whereby the people
congregated at the school houses or
other such places and entered their
subscriptions voluntarily. In his
county in Illinois the plan worked
successfully and the time of a certain
lot of patriotic men was not required
to call on other men who were just
as patriotic but who were no buster
than the solicitors. Why. In this war,
which is one mans war as much as
should anyone wait until
they are called on for their subscrip-
tions? The money must be raised
and every fellow had just as well go
and make his own announcement as
to what he can do as to have a COM
mittee call.
