ORGANIZATION UNDER WAY

Directions for the organization OF
War Savings Societies under the Unit
ed States treasury plan in every in.
dustrial plant in the Ninth Federal
Reserve district have been sent to all
county directors of War Savings. In
many counties the work Is already
under way. In these the county chair
men are now to complete the work
with all speed by forming Val Saw
ings Societies in the remaining indus
tries. NJ. E. Harrison, district direc-
tor OF War Savings. has urged county
chairmen In the other counties to
start forming societies at once.
A force of specially trained organ
izers of War Savings Societies ia now
busy forming societies in the larger
cities OF the Ninth district. AS soon
as that has been done these expert.
enced men will be at liberty to finish
the work OF organizing industries in all
other counties.
The plan under which War Savings
Societies are being formed is simple.
A meeting Is called in the plan. dur
ing which the importance of thrift and
investment in War Savings Stamps is
explained to all employees. Those
willing to take part, usually everyone,
are then asked to sign a membership
pledge, sometimes promising to buy a
fixed amount of stamps weekly or
merely to buy stamps. A president
of the society is appointed and one or
more secretaries named. The secre-
tarie5 each have a fixed number or per-
sons on whom they call each payday,
giving them an opportunity to buy
Thrift stamps or Wa Savings stamps.
1t is desirable to have plenty Of
secretaries, according to Ray C. Teus-
cher, executive secretary Of the dis.
trict War Savings Organization. The
secretary who has but Is EMPLOYEES
to call OF each week Is more likely
to finish his work than the one with
80 on his list. II there are 80 en-
ployees two secretaries should be
named so that every Garner may be
given a chance to became a saver
through investment in War Savings
stamps or Thrift stamps.
THE Ninth Federal Reserve district
has responded 100 per cent or better
to every national effort and we pur
pose to do the same this time," Drec-
tor Harrison said yesterday. We are
using Minneapolis as a model and
there Ia every indication that every In.
dustry in that city will have one or
more War Savings Societies hy Aurus,
l. st. Paul and Duluth are to be or
ganized with the same thoroughness
and by fall we intend to attain the
same result in every Ninth district
county. Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, Montana, western Wisconsin
and northern Michigan are all tn re-
ceive the same thorough attention"

a SPEEDERS HURT
Joy Ride Ends as Touring Car

Men in Accident Didn't Know
Names of Girls.

A big seven-passenger Oldsmobile
turned completely over three miles
west of Topeka Sunday afternoon.
Four of the occupants were pinned
underneath the car and two were
thrown to one side. No one was re-
ported to be seriously injured.
Two girls were in the car and from
the remarks of one of the men they
didn't know the names of the girls.
Efforts to learn the identity of the
occupants failed. One man did say in
answer to repeated questioning by
spectators that he lived near Auburn.
Il don't know who the girls are, :"
he was quoted as saying.
DR.. ]. A. Steinmeyer, Topeka dem
tist, who arrived at the scene of the
accident. gave the injured emergency
treatment and directed that they go to
day it was denied that victims of any
auto accidents were taken there Sun
day.
Emmett Rowell, chief clerk in the
office of General Manager Patten of
the Topeka Railway company gave a
graphic account today of the accident.
He said:
Harry Smith, who is in the chief
engineers office of the Santa Fe, was
with me in my car. We were driving
on the lower Silver Lake road about
three miles west of Topeka. Swinging
on hour we heard laughing and yelling
to- our left and in a cloud of dust a
big Oldsmobile, driven by woman,
swept by. They must have been going
forty-five miles an hour.
I'VE saw them ahead as they
lodged around another car. Then we
saw the car swerve as it swung to the
right to miss a buggy. Missing the
buggy it jumped out into the middle of
the road, zig-zagged across the crown
two or three times, then headed to-
ward the fence. 1t hit the ditch,
leaped into the air and turned over.
I'VE rushed to the wreck and found
four persons pinned beneath it. Two
were thrown wide of the car. We
found the four seriously injured and
helped carry them to a farm house
nearby.
THE first word spoken came from
the woman who had been driving.
Why in hell didn't you take that
wheel when I told you?' she yelled
at one of the men.
1--WE drove on to Manhattan"

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
sttute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomeI.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calonlel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
ar the: expense of the teeth? CalomeI
sometimes plays havoc with The gums.
