Distribution Will Be Made at
Special Receptions.

One thousand Shawnee county and
Topeka lads will soon be the recipients
of the medals of honor given to the
soldiers by the city and county COM

taken from captured German air.
planes. The face of the medal is an
eagle with spread wings embossed on
a cross On the reverse is the legend
of presentation For Patriotic Service
in the World War"
Every man who went to the war
from Shawnee county, whether he
went all the way to the firing line or
just went into the service in one of the
S. A. T. C.'s is to be given one of these
medals. There is no difference so far
as the honor is concerned for the COM
mittee in charge of the honor roll
of the county feels it is not the fault
of the men who did not get across the
sea that they were not in the fighting.
The war just ended too quickly.
The medals are being paid for by
the county, the city and the Chamber
of Commerce and the committee on
distribution is composed of members
of each organization. The medals will
be presented at special receptions to
be held in the Chamber of Commerce.
The first reception will probably be

A campaign in which the state de-
partment hopes to lower insurance
rates in Kansas from 25 to 80 per cent

bers of commerce and commercial
clubs in Kansas asking them to CO.

ards is the easiest way to reduce rates,
according to Travis, who reeounted
one instance where it was recently dis
covered that Kansas merchant was
paying an extra $40 a year for fire
insurance on account of the fact that
he kept a small quantity of gasoline in
his store. 1t was found. also, that the
merchant sold only about $3.50 worth
of gasoline in a year. Travis also
urges that rubbish and unnecessary
inflammable material be removed
from buildings as this increases the
risk.
