PLAN NEW DRIVE
Salvation Army To Put on An
ether Money Campaign.
Billy Announces 1t VIII Begin
in a Short Time.

With the new Salvation Army home
al the corner of Fifth and Quincy
streets almost completed. announce
ment is made that a new drive for the
army will be made within the next
two or three weeks In making the an
nouncement of the coming drive. w.
A. Billy, Onslaught manager% did not
set any definite dates. but contented
himself with the bare announcement
that the campaign is in the making.
Last year the Salvation Army ap-
pealed to the people of Topeka and
Shawnee county for the sum of
S55, 00e TO be expended in building a
permanent home for the organization
in Topeka.
The campaign fell approximately
$4,000 short of the Goal set. and the
renewed drive is to be for about that
sum. No definite amount has been
set, but the purpose of the drive is an
nounced to be the raising of funds to
complete the home and give it to the
Salvation Army free of debt. 1t is
possible though that a small addi-
tional sum will be asked as the first
installment on yearly budget for the
work of the army in Topeka.

WHAT ABOUT POSTERS
VIII They Be Popular in the Many
Drives Being Planned?

Speculation is running rife in the
business section of Topeka today. In
fact the same speculation has been
of the war drives which were com
mon events of the troublesome days.
The merchants wonder if the poster
pest" will be with them again when
the drive tocsins sound again next
month.
The Red Cross Roll Call campaign,
the Salvation Army drive. the Roose-
welt Memorial fund, and half a dozen
other drives and campaigns of like
nature promise to furnish a new set
of posters. During war time there
was a craze to make collections" of
all the war drive posters and adver-
Using Autographs.
What the merchants speculate on
what some of them are even betting
on--is whether poster collections are
still stylish.

PLANT men GET MORE
City Water Department, However,
Pays Office Force Same Scale.


Pays Office Force Same Scale.
ITO save life and property" was
tho statement made by Commissioner
Stanfield on the pay roll for Septem-
Der as a reason for asking for more
money than was provided by ordi-
lance for the payment of employees of
the water department. This was
marked as an emergency declaration
in the city clerks office.
A strike threatened some weeks ago
and the commissioners at that time al
lowed Stanfield to pay the increase
from the water fund. As the water
department is self-sustaining, this
makes no difference in the city budget.
The agitation affected a number of
employees at the plant and also the
clerks in the department. Ten men
at the plant were given a raise of $1G
per month. Five dollars of this was
paid at the last pay day. The raise
affected engineers and firemen. The
I office force was not included in the
threatened walkout. office employees
received no increase in pay
Stanfield did not draw money from
the emergency fund to pay these men.
The money came from the water fund.
An ordinance has been drawn up by
George Hayden, city attorney, that
will be presented at the next regular
meeting of the commissioners provid
ing for the increase in pay for these
men. If no money can be found in
the budget to finance this increase il
will no doubt have to come from the
funds of the department as it did in
the case of the last payment.

CAUSE COP TROUBLE
Jay Drivers at Eighth and Kansas
! Avenue Arc Numerous.

Auto drivers with jay terdencies are
having the usual amount of trouble
at the corner of Eighth and Kansas
avenue and arc incidentally causing
the. traffic policeman at that point to
earn his money.
Before thu fair the intersection was
all torn up while the street car COM
pany put in some new tracks. The
tracks in. the street car company pro-
ceeded to put the pavement back in
place on concrete base. At that tine
the intersection on the east car track
was finished and the street cleared for
fair week traffic. The hole or trough
between the west side tracks was filed
with cinders SO that traffic could be
rapidly cleared during the heavy traf-
fic of fair week. Now the concrete
is being put in where the cinders were.
Jay drivers seem to have a ha bit
of circlinE the obstruction rather
than going to Ninth street in order to
cross the street. The practice meets
prompt encouragement from the traf-
fic officer.
The street will probably be re-
opened for east and west traffic by
Sunday
