pressure to bear on the recalcitrant-
One of the reasons advanced by
John T. Morrisey, secretary of the
Shawnee county liberty loan commit
tee, for the poor returns of Tuesday is
that the day was the first of the month
and the banks, working short handed
were so busy balancing up the pass
books of their customers that their
liberty loan reports were sketchy in
the extreme Morrisey said this
morning that he expected big return
on the loan today, as many of the
banks turning in short reports Tues
day would bring their sales slips up to
date today
pass books of the banks depositors
Tuesday gave the liberty loan Of
ficials i'll each bank a ready. exact and
complete idea OF the individual de-
posters ability to take bonds for
cash. The balance of the pass books
for the months that have passed will,
of course, enter into the computation
but the figures placed in the pass
books Tuesday show each depositor's
immediate ability to take bonds OF the
fourth liberty loan.
Give Workers Tips.
The pass book figures taken in con-
junction with the tax lists made up
by the government for the use OF
banks in the fourth liberty loan will
leave little to be desired in the way
| on information as to the ability OF
each man and woman to subscribe.
A large percentage of the subscrip-
lions already in are for bonds of the
| fifty and one hundred dollar denomf-
nations. This fact in itself shows that
i the subscribers to the bonds of the
| fourth war issue will outnumber by
4 l. ,H- 70 n a
bonds of the first. second and third
| issues. Since the third liberty loan
was floated in Topeka with nearly It's
| per cent subscription, another thou
sand and some Topeka and Shawnee
county boys have marched away to
the wars. This brought the war into
| direct touch with just as many more
families. Each one of these families
has a vital interest in the war since
the son or brother donned the olive
| drab.
| There is no question of bitter priva-
ton in supporting these sons, and
brothers. and sweethearts who have
gone overseas or are preparing to go
overseas. At least there should not
| be any consideration given to mere
matter of personal hardship here al
home. The boys in the trenches suf-
fer more, and with song and a grin
than the folks at home know of.
Within the Reach of All.
sLiberty bonds.'' declared Burrow
meditating on the things set forth
above, ARE within the reach of every
/ person. They can be bought on the
installment plan from the banks in
all cases, and in many cases thru the
employers themselves. Not a single
person should default in his duty thru
inability to pay cash for bond"
The four-minute man campaign In
support of the fourth liberty loan was
inaugurated today. That is. the cam
paign in the stores, the factories. and
the shops of the city, and the big Of
fees, was put under way. Dr. Ed
mund James Kulp was announced as

biggest plants in Topeka. At IL O'Clock

Telegraph Transmitter company; al

cry company; at 1910 o'clock the
Seymour Packing company employees
were to hear him, and to close the
whirlwind campaign of the speaking
day Doctor Kulp was to address the
officials and clerks in the Santa Fe
general offices at o'clock
