| Another drag net is about to be
| cast into the sea of Shawnee county. /
The story of Bible times is to be re-
| peated on the shores of the Kaw this
| week. The fishers of mem go forth
Thursday morning seeking to gather
in the meshes of the campaign drag
| net thousands of new members for the
| Kansas Good Roads association.
A pretentious expansion program
| for the Kansas Good Roads associa-
| ton has been outlined for the year by /
| ]. A. Fansler, manager of the aSsocia-
| ton. Its object is to make members |
| of the association as numerous are |
! the users of roads. The Kansas goal
| is $4,000 new members by 1920, every |
| one of them working and boosting !
actively for 365-day roads.
The initial gun of this Kansas cam
| paign is to be fired in Topeka begin |
| ming Thursday morning when teams i
| from seven civic clubs will rake the /
| four corners and the center of To- |
peka and Shawnee county for new |
| members for the association.
Hold Meeting Wednesday
| A meeting of the team ca plains and |
| their workers is to be held at the |
Chamber of Commerce Wednesday |
| evening. Final instructions will be |
| issued at this time and the strategy
of the campaign will be gone over
and approved. Such slight changes
as may be- necessary in the program
|
plies will be issued to the workers
and everything will be put in readi-
ness for the start of the drive Thurs
day morning.
The definite goal of the campaign
in Topeka is a fund of $4,000. This
fund is to be expended in making To-
peka the hub of network of Shaw
nee county hard roads. 1t is the aim
of Topeka and of the Kansas Good
Roads association to make of Topeka
from which good roads propaganda
may be distributed to all parts of the
state.
The campaign here is backed by the
Chamber of Commerce, the North To-
peka Civic club the Rotary club, the
Cooperative club. the Interservice
club, the Square Circle club. the To-
peka Automobile club, and the Auto
Dealers association. Each one of
these organizations will have teams in
the field Thursday. Friday, and Sat
