The Salvation Army hut-lassies
and doughnuts and all-has come to
Topeka for two day stay. Or rather
the Salvation Army huts. three of
them, will be in place on Kansas ave-
nue. tomorrow and next day for the
purpose of dispensing doughnuts to
Topeka citizens in exchange for Tope-
ka dollars, and half dollars and quar-
ters.
Announcement of the coming of the
Salvation Army huts to Topeka was
made late this afternoon by w. A.
Biby, campaign director of the $4,000
drive. In making the announcement
Biby assigned two reasons for the es-
tablishment of the huts here.
May Increase Subscriptions.
In the first place the huts will give
every citizen of Topeka an easy and
ready way to increase his subscrip-
ton to the Salvation Army fund with
out the necessity of hunting up cam
paign headquarters. In the second
place the huts will furnish a place
easily accessible for the receiving of
contributions from residents of Shaw
nee county who may be in town for
one of the two days-Thursday and
Friday-that the huts will be in oper-
alton.
This second reason called forth a
he has been somewhat neglectful OF
the citizens of the rural district of
Shawnee county in not organizing
campaign crews as was done in the
other drives. Biby has asserted on
several occasions that many country
people have complained to him for
the apparent neglect and that they
have taken him to task on the grounds
that the Salvation Army did as much
for the soldier from the country as il
IL Il f.N--
country people, Biby says, assert that
they have as much right to help build
the home as mark of their apprecia-
ton for the Army's work in France as
have the city people.
Girls in Charge of Huts
The huts will be open for the re-
ceiving of contributions both Thurs
day and Friday. They will be ir
charge of a corps of pretty Topeka
drives was largely responsible for the
high score Topeka has made in over
the top reports. Miss Fayeben Will
liams is the pretty chairman of the
hut committee and has arranged foI
assistants in two squads, one of which
will work in the huts Thursday and
one Friday.
Each hut will be manned by two OF
three of the girls and each person
who makes contribution to the FUND
at one of the three Salvation Army
huts will be rewarded by a regulation
Salvation Army doughnut-just the
same kind of a hole-cake which was
served to the men going into the
| trenches in France.
One hat will be located at Ninth ano
Kansas avenue in front of Pelletier':
store; one in front of Crosby Brothers
store, and one at Sixth and Kansa:
avenue in front of the Bank of To
peka. 1t Is expected that the citizen:
| of Topeka and of Shawnee county vii
| each one of them find occasion Il
taste of the Salvation Army hospital
| ity and return therefor a contribution
| to the home.
