at Auditorium Tonight.

10 IOpekanS.
The governor of Kansas has issued
an official call for volunteers in this
state guard movement other Kansas
cities and towns are far ahead of To-
peka in home guard organization,
some of them having from two to four
well-drilled and uniformed companies,
while this city, as yet. has no fully
equipped and organized state guard
Having been authorized to complete
the organization of a company in To-
peka under a plan to provide a proper
military force, while our Kansas ma
tional guard is in the federal service,
all those who desire to join are in
vited to meet at the auditorium this
evening, March 4, at 1880 p. M
Many of our young men of draft age
will sooner or later be called into the
great national army, and it will be OF
great benefit to such to have some
prior military training before their life
at the environments. 1t will add to
their standing and advancement
Special training will be given such by
those who have had years OF United
States army experience, and they are
invited to take advantage of this op-
portunity.
The property interests of Topeka
and other Kansas centers are extern
sive-mills. factories, mines. grain
production. railroads. public buildings
and the like and they have already
Deen HSleO DIS important ny GSTHidl
propa ganda-which will always need
watching.
Let all past differences in home
guard matters be forgotten in the in
terest of proper protection and let To-
peka respond to the governors cal
and hasten the completion of a vel
drilled, uniformed and armed state
guard. Its very presence will be e
source of protection during these days
of uncertainty and a daily reminder
that we are in a state of war-the
end of which no one can ten.
Come out tonight and join the com
pany. We meet every Monda.- even

FOR H. S. JOURNALISM
Charles Dillon of Topeka Issues Book
Adopted in Kansas Schools.

Journalism for High Schools is
the title of a valuable book just is
sued by Lloyd Adams Noble, New
York publisher, and written by
Charles Dillon of Topeka, former
professor of industrial journalism in
the Kansas State Agricultural college
and now managing editor of the Cap
per farm publications.
The book, adopted by all high
schools in Kansas where newspaper
writing is taught and encouraged, is
for the purpose of discouraging silly
writing among students and to bring
about more thoro understanding OF
plain, simple and effective style.
1T isn't for the purpose of making
newspaper reporters or editors out of
high school students" Mr.. Dillon says
in discussing the object of the book,
but to Improve high school publica-
tons and to equip pupils with a prac-
teal writing knowledge of the Eng
lish language"
In covering the field Mr.. Dillon has
provided excellent models for high
school papers and has gone further
into the subject by giving the readers
or students a working knowledge and
a peep into the actual workings of a
daily metropolitan newspaper office.
The authors varied experience on
participation have backed up his class
room volume with confidence and
appreciation.
The author expresses hope in his
preface that the book will serve as a
means of aiding young men and wo-
men in choosing a 1ife's work in that
it will open the way to a better un-
derstanding of newspaper work. State
institutions supporting courses in
journalism waste time on hundreds of
students annually who enter the
course not knowing its meaning or its
opportunities. High school students
studying the Dillon book will have a
foundation of newspaper knowledge
before they enter college. They will
enter collegiate journalism classes
then with a purpose in view.
The Dillon book has been given
flattering treatment at the hands of
the critics and undoubtedly will find
a ready response from over the coun-
try.
