The opera house was well filled Monday evening for the purpose of organizing a patriotic league and also to hear Fred Voiland, of Topeka, who gave an interesting talk on the present war." He did not minse his words but gave it to the audience straight from the shoulder. His talk was interesting and instructive and was highly appreciated by the large number present. Several times during his speech he was interrupted by loud applause. Before his speech the patriotic organization was perfected. The organization will be known as the Men's Patriotic League of Onaga, and every loyal male citizen of Onaga and the surrounding country is invited and urged to become a member.

The officers elected were as follows: President Rev J. P. Blackledge. Vice Pres. C.

A. Leinbach. Secretary C. Haughawout. Treasurer L.

L. O'Meara. Executive Committee S. A. Eytchison, G.

B. Mack, J. W. Dunn, and W. M.

Hoover. The League has planned to have another meeting in the Opera House next Monday evening at which time Dr. Edmond J. Kulp, of Topeka, one of the best orators of the state, will speak. Everyone invited.

Out of therLeague will be instituted an organization of the Home Guards, and Rev. Stewart, N. H. Hayward and C. Haughavout are a soliciting committee for members.

Every male citizen of the city and surrounding country, over sixteen years of age, are urged to become members of this organization. Already nearly seventy-five persons have signed the list of membership. The enrollment of the Men's Patriotic League is already nearing the two-hundred mark, and it is hoped this number will be more than doubled in the near future.

Tuesday evening, Charles, the three-year-old son of Seward Henderson, of the Laclede neighbor hood, was shot and killed by an older brother. The two children had been playing out in the yard and finding an old rifie the elder lad pointed the gun at his brother, shooting him in the head just above the eye, killing him instantly. Erwin Wegner, son of Ferdinand Wegner, residing southwest of town, had the misfortune to have one of his thumbs shot off by shot gun last Sunday while out hunting with his brother. TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. The Onaga High School has just received notice from W.

H. L. Pep- perell, U. S. Revenue Collector for the state of Kansas, that according an act of Congress, approved Oct.

3rd, 1917, "admissions charged athletic contests are subject to tax." He says, in part, "Your associa tion is liable for the tax on all admissions since November 1st, 1917 regardless of whether such tax was actually collected from the persons admitted. It will there fore, be necessary for you to keep complete record of all admissions athletic contests, concerts, or other entertainments held on and after Nov. 1st, 1917 and not later than 15 days after the close of each calendar month make duplicate return under oath and remit the amount of tax shown to be due." In accordance with the above act we will have to collect a tax of one cent for each ten cents, or fraction thereof, paid for admission to all of our athletic contests until the above act is repealed. We are very sorry to have to ask our patrons to pay this tax but, thus far, our receipts have scarcely covered our actual ex pense in carrying on our athletics, therefore, we are forced to ask each person to pay the tax on his admission.

M. Herron, Supt. AT THE WORK ROOM. The first night class in surgical dressings began work last Thursday night. The domestic science class is giving an hour each week to the making of surgical dressings under the instruction of Miss Bogue, their teacher.

The work room will be closed Thanksgiving day. We would like a few more workers on Thursdays but all are requested to work when they can. you realize that each dressing made is a personal act to serve one man, someone's friend, son, brother or husband? The preparing of surgical dressings bears to wounded the same relation that the making of munitions bears the armies. The Victory Auxiliary brought twelve body binders and three binders finished, and fourteen yards of muslin ready for bandages. They have twenty-two ladies working.

Kulp at the patriotic meeting at the Brunner Opera House next Monday night. He is purported to be one of the best and most entertaining speakers in the state, and you will be pleased with his address. Everybody invited and urged to come. Mrs. Kate Ott was in Topeka, Monday where she met her daughter, Miss Fina, who arrived home that evening from Kansas City for a few days visit.

Miss Fina is now employed as secretary of the Y. W.L.A., anu says sue likes tier work real well, even better than she thought she would. The Herald is publishing a day early this week in order that our typo may have the privilege of eating turkey with the families of her brothers. As far as the editor is concerned, he possibly will work in th 3 office the same as usual, and go home at noon and eat chicken. But then, we are thankful for the chicken.

A one-week campaign to raise a of the 35,000,000 for the army and navy Y. M. C. A. fund was carried through in this locality a week or so ago.

Pottawatomie county was asked for $3,500 and incomplete reports show that we will exceed that amount. Mill Creek township was asked for $'310, and $500 was raised. Vienna was asked for $110, and raised $193. Wamego was asked for $330, and raised over $500. This is the greatest campaign ever put on by the people of the United States for such or similar purpose, and from reports from all parts of the country we "believe it will be oversubscribed by least $1.5,000, and shows what the people at home are willing to do for the boys at the front and in the training camps.

There seems to be a great deal cf dissatisfaction among the people residing north and east of Onaga regarding the proposition of Havensvilie establishing a rural high school for that city. No, we do not mean that there is any dissatisfaction over them organizing a rural high school, but the dissatisfaction arises from the fact that they are taking in too much territory. As we understand it, they propose to extend their west boundry line up to about a mile and a half east of Onaga, which will mean that young people residing in that territory, and some of them closer to Onaga than Havensvilie, will be compelled to attend the Havensvilie high school or pay tuition to come to the Onaga We Have A LINE On the HIGH-CLASS GOODS and EXCLUSIVE STYLES found in the larger cities and are constantly keeping in touch with them, in order to give our customers the benefit of our FIRST CLASS CONNECTIONS.
