Boone, Prop. Phone 115 FRIDAY, JUNE 28, THE DATE SET FOR PLEDGING QUOTA Under Proclamation of the President and the Governor, Meeting, of Taxpayer, and Wage Earner. Are to be Held in Every School Di.trict. Kansas is to have a War Savings Day, to be officially ordered by proclamation of President Wilson and Governor Capper and decreed by P. W.

Goebei, state director, on which to put over the state's quota of $20 per capita of War Savings certificates and stamps. Friday, June 28, is the date chosen for the "drive" throughout the state, and it will be different from anything yet undertaken in war On that day the taxpayers, wage earners and residents of every school district in the state are to meet in their school houses and pledge themselves to purchase War Savings stamps to the full amount of their school district quota. The stamps may be paid for in cash or the people may subscribe for stamps to be paid for on delivery at stated periods during the remainder of the year 1918. The meetings are to be held in the rural districts and the smaller cities and towns at 8:30 o'clock in the evening for the convenience of the farmers and wage earners. The school officers are to conduct the meeting in each school house, keeping a record of the proceedings and reporting the natnes of all persons present and the amount of War Savings Stamps subscribed for by them.

The names of absent persons, and of those who refuse or neglect to subscribe, with their reasons for so doing, will also be reported. A definite quota of War Savings Stamps has been assigned each school district and community, which will be announced at each meeting on June 28th. The Government of the United States expects all the citizens of every school district and county to subscribe for its quota and to pledge themselves to save and economize to help win the war, which is the one big business (if the nation and of every loyal citizen at the present time. The plan was enthusiastically endorsed at a meeting held last week in Hutchinson of the Kansas War Savings organization over which Mr. Goebei presided.

Mrs. Dave Campbell and daughter, Areta, went to Kansas City Thursday to spend a few Hava visitinEr relatives and friends. $1,500,000 Worth of Kan.n Egg to The Kaiser. It has been a common practice to have large quantities of Kan sas eggs go to the dumps each year, because they have incuba ted too much to be used for human food. Some estimate this loss as high as $1,500,000.

It is said that food will win the war. If these eggs are allowed to spoil, it will be taking food from our people and helping the enemy. To help prevent this, the State of Kansas is organized to encourage the production of infertile eggs. The week of June 3 to 8 is the week when all roosters, which have not already been removed from the flock, will be removed. Every poultry raiser in every community of the State will assist in this movement, to make every Kan sas egg a good egg.

The Five Teama Worked Steady and Faithfully Until the Goal was Reached. The Second Red Cross Drive went over the top in Lansing. The campaign closed Saturday night with a total subscription of $704.07. Lansing's quota was $649. The five teams worked faithfully and steadily until the goal was reached and passed.

The amounts collected by each team was as follows: Gtuvham and Mrs A Morgan H7.50 Paiisu mid Mrs Jnmex Hotfu 108.50 Clms Derr and Mrs Bird 154.28 Benedict and Mrs 11 Campbell ..148.00 Landis and Mrs O'Brien 280.82 During Mr. Landis' absence in Topeka, L. J. Herwig had charge of the campaign at the prison. Bessie Ham and Dr.

Faulkner were the district captains and J. M. Gable and Mrs. J. T.

Faulkner were the township were many interesting features about the campaign. The total number of subscribers was 291. The prison force 100 per cent strong subscribed a days wages, netting a total of $227.92. The farmers subscribed their quota of 10 cents an acre. Some of the largest subscribers were farm owners.

Nearly all of the lodges and churches made nice contributions to the fund. The Lansing High School Alumni Association subscribed $10. The largest single subscriber was G. R. Benedict.

Among the many subscribers were a number of the inmates of the prison who subscribed out of their income of cents a day. The one regret-able feature of the campaign was the lack of buttons. The number of subscribers to the second fund is perhaps five times as great as to the first fund and the supply of buttons was soon exhausted. The hearty co-operation of everybody wa3 the outstanding feature of the campaign. Very few refused to give something.
