HAVE YOU YOURS?
One Person Out OF Every Eight in
Kansas Owns Auto.

One person of every eight in Kan
sas owns an automobiles should
according to the figures compiled in
the office of the secretary of state.
The report shows at total of 219,167
autos owned in the state of Kansas.
Pawnee county, the heart of the
grain gold'' country. is first in auto
prosperity. Pawnee boasts a total
population of S,847 persons, and a
total auto list of 1859 motor cars.
This indicates that a car is a fixture
in every htome in the county-one
car for every so persons-and as the
average Pawnee county family is five
persons, the conclusion is almost safe.
Shawnee county has issued licenses
to 6,121 cars, but the average list
shows that the ownership is one car
to every eleven persons. This same
condition is true in the other thickly
populated counties, Wyandotte, the
most thickly populated county in the
state having but one car for fifteen
OF it's inhabitants.
Sedgwicln county, including wichita,
has one car for 7.6 persons. Stafford,
Cheyenne. Marshall, Kingman, Chase,
Marion, Harper. Greeley Hodgeman,
Saline, and Reno counties show an
auto for every family-almost. Each
one OF these counties has more autos
than the average for the state, accord
ing to L. ]. Pettijohn's report.

Nor was the welcome to the fighters
a lip welcome only. 1t was from the
heart and was the real thing. And
no small part of the wants expressed
by the soldiers were have you a paper
from homer"
The Kansas Welcome association,
thanks to the editors of Kansas, al
ways has the paper from home in
Kansas" wherever that home might
be.
Topeka soldiers invariably asked for
the home papers and always they were
provided with the latest editions of
The Topeka State Journal. These pa
pers were sent to the Kansas Welcome
headquarters for the boys without cost
to the state. They were The State
Journals part in the first welcome to
the men from France.
Thanks to Editors.
Today the rooms which were the
quarters of the Kansas Welcome as
ISOLATION are vacant. The sunfIower
squad has left. The boys are all home.
But The State Journal is today in re-
ceipt of letter of thanks from Helen
K. Ostertag, secretary of the associa-
ton. which says in part:
'If you could have seen how the
boys faces beamed when The State
Journals from their home town were
found here you would have realized
how large a part you contributed to
the welcome home"
