PEOPLE AWAKEN TO VALUE OF

Gates AND BUY FREELY.
ALL BANKERS ENDORSE THEM
Kaheka Banker Takes Entire Quota
for Clark County and Says They
Are the Best Investment.

The enthusiastic manner in which
bankers and individuals in the Eighth
Federal Reserve District are respond
ing to the governments appeal for
funds through the sale Of Treasury
Savings Certificates are exceedingly
gratifying, and the sales of the secur-
tiles far exceed the expectations OF
Federal Director Wilson.
Although the campaign just began
in September, and not the full month
was available for the canvass, the
quota for that month was largely over
subscribed, and there is scant chance
for the failure Of the four months
campaign that will end December 81.
s. S. Hitler, of the Exchange Bank
at Kahoka, Clark County, Mo-. sub
scribed for the entire quota for his
county, and bought $4,000 of the
Treasury Savings Certificates. Il
know of no better, safer or more prof
table way of investing than in these
Treasury Savings Certificates" he
said, and he added that he anticipated
no trouble in placing all Of the bonds
he had taken, and expected to double
the order before the campaign ended.
G. A. Mueller. Of the Bank of st.
James, Phelps County. Mo-, took the
quota for his city. He said he Con-
sidered the certificates the best So
curities available anA would recon-
mend them to tbs banks customers
and would advertise and help to create
a demand for them among the banks
customers.
The Bank of Crocker and the Crock
er. State Bank, Pulaski County, Mo-.
subscribed for the city's quota. The
cashiers of these banks said that de-
spite the fact that they were paying
per cent on time deposits they felt
that Investments in the governments
securities were the best, inasmuch as
the interest was fixed for long period
and was not subject to fluctuation.
A banker of. Clinton, Mo-, in placing
his order forglthe banks quota of
Treasury Savings Certificates, said
that be. was going to suggest them to

NOW M0B|L|z|NC
STATE CONFERENCES RECENTLY
HELD IN SIX CITIES TO
DISCUSS PLANS.
FIGHTING MEN VOLUNTEER
Responses by the Hundreds Pouring
In to Appeal For 100000
Workers.

Mobilization of the vast army of
Red Cross workers has begun. Re-
ports reaching Red Cross division
headquarters in st. Louis indicate that
plans for the Third Roll Call, Novem-
ber Q to II, are well under way in
almost every one Of the 655 Red Cross
Chapters in the five states-Missouri,
Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas comprising the Southwestern
| Division.
Chapter Roll Call Directors have
been appointed in virtually every city,
town and county and with but few
exceptions working organizations are
in process of formation at each place.
State Directors have been appointed
to take charge of the rapidly forming
machine. Added impetus has been
given to the preliminary campaign by
the holding of Statewide Roll Call
conferences recently at st. Louis,
Topeka, Dallas, Houston, Oklahoma
City and Little Rock, at which definite
campaign plans affecting every section
of each State in the division were
decided upon.
Meanwhile, responses to the call for
100000 volunteer workers to serve
during the coming drive are pouring
in by the hundreds to Red Cross
headquarters. Once a Red Cross
worker, always a Red Cross worker"
is the slogan adopted. Soldiers,
sailors and marines, some of whom
were in the thick or the fighting
overseas, are offering their services.
Many of these men will be utilized
as speakers to describe some of the
benefits accruing to the fighting men
by reason of the presence Of the Red
Cross in the field of hostilities.
During the first part of the cam
paign there will be a house.to-house
canvassing for Red Cross member
ships under a distinct arrangement;
but on the last two days district lines
will be disregarded and former service
men as well as women volunteer
workers will take up their tasks with
rowing commissions. Not only are
discharged service men wanted as
Red Cross canvassers but State and
National Guardsmen are urged to
enroll as quickly as possible. The
Red Cross welcomes assistance of all
former Army and Navy officers and
men who approved of the work OF the
Red Cross during the war.
Speakers and writer's are being
sought by the organization and asked
to do their bit" Numerous accept
ances already have been received from
speakers and at present determined
effort is being made to obtain the
services of all newspaper men who
saw service overseas and are qualified
to speak or write Of their adventures.
A Preliminary campaign is being
waged through text posters and other
printed matter that has been sent to
throughout the country.
Red Cross officials are stressing
the point that the drive is to be made
for memberships only and that no
appeal is contemplated wherein the
general public will be asked for funds.
An encouraging number of public
spirited men and women through the
division already have applied at Red
Cross Chapters asking a renewal of
their memberships for next year.
