Just the same and must be paid.
Every man and Eyoman in Shawnee
county who has not subscribed to the
victory loan, the last bond issue of a
war nature which will be floated by
the United States government, should
immediately go to his or her bank and
make a subscription. Shawnee county
has never stopped at bare subscrip-

her part of the war debt and a part of
some other less patriotic section.

Welcome Notes

Don't you reckon there is any way
l can get pass so I can get to the
train early in the morning."
1t was o'clock Wednesday night
when an elderly lady asked a stranger
this question in front of the State
Journal building. The stranger did
not know. and the lady was apparently
about to get little satisfaction when
a Topeka woman stepped up to her.
DO you have a relative on the
train?" the Topeka woman asked.
Yes, my son." was the reply.
well, We'll try to fix it for you"
| the Topeka woman said kindly. She
got the mother" into the State Jour
nal building despite the fact that 1t
had been closed for the night, and she
kept the telephone operator busy get
| ting things arranged. The mother
was from Michigan Valley.
Jack got off the train and soon
found himself surrounded by a Shaw
nee county farmer and several women
and girls. He shook hands with them
one after the other. lingering a little
longer over the hand of girl who was
rather fleshy and who seemed to feel
an embarrassment none of the others
showed. Then he finished shaking
hands, and. as he did So the bashful
girl who had stood close by reached
out, put her arms around his neck and
kissed him again and again. Gang
way, Let's move,' the Shawnee coun-
ty farmer called, and the crowd moved
off with Jack and the fleshy girl arm
! in-arm.
Haven't you any relatives here?" a
woman asked a lonely looking soldier
who was standing off to himself east
| of the depot. The soldier shook his
/ head. We'll. you take a Huntoon car
get off at -- street and go to No
-. Just make yourself at home, I'll
| be there after a while-I am looking
| for my boy now. Here, I'll write il
out for you so you went forget" She
| took pencil and a crumpled envelope
! from her purse, wrote down the direc-
| tions and then hurried on to search
for her boy"
And, did you see those autos speed
| ing up Kansas avenue filled with sol
| diers and their best girls and papa
| and mamma, each one trying to stran-
gle the boy who had been away sc
long?

To the Editor Topeka State journal.
Now that our service in the army
