Report of Kansas U.S.O. Committee
Creator: United Service Organization
Date: 1941
This item details the amount of contributions to the United Service Organizations (U.S.O.) from cities and counties in Kansas during 1941. Totaling almost $90,000, the U.S.O. campaign in Kansas was quite successful and helped support a number of services for Americans serving in uniform during World War II. The report lists the contributions by city and the nature of the fund raising. There was a campaign in movie theaters that raised almost $9,000 from 84 cities. The list includes the names of the theaters. Local newspapers, which provided publicity, are often listed as well. The members of the local U.S. O. committees are listed, occasionally.

Creator: Rathgeber, Mamie and Fay
Date: June 2, 1929
Three photographs showing a tornado at Hardtner, Kansas. The photographs were taken from Mamie and Fay Rathgeber's farm located two miles north of Hardtner. The Hardtner Press, June 6, 1929, described the tornado as a "big gray elephant trunk or sausage balloon strung across town with one end in the cloud and the other switching around in a cloud of dust on the ground, you can imagine something of what the twister looked like as it passed over town."
