NEW BAND INSTRUCTOR.

Prof. c. w. Price, the new di-,
rector of the Great Bend band.
came in from Norton, Va, Tues
day evening and met with the
band boys for the first time that
night. Prof. Price is a thorough
musician in every way, and be-
sides instructing the major and
Juvenile bands, will at once pre.
pare for the organization of an or
chestra, and will also give private
lessons on any kind of reed.
brass or string instrument. His
home is at Philadelphia, Pa, but
ne has been in charge of the band
at Norton, Va, for some time, and
has instructed some of the very
best bands of the country. and
comes here most highly recon-
mended both as a gentleman and
director. The members of tbe
Professors family are all musi-
clans and when they Join him
mere In a short time they will be
a material asset to the musical
circles of the city. E. E. Eppe;r-
son, who has been the director of
the band for many years, gives it
as his judgment that Prof. Price
is one OF the very best istructcrs
In the country and he feels that
under his leadership the organiza-
ton will be complete success in
every way, and he believes that

umn in Mr.. Capper Topeka Daily
Capital" points out that Curtis,
Calderhead, Brewster and other
state candidates of the rampant
standpat variety must not be made
headliners during the campaign
because that would drive the Pro-
greSSive element of the party away
from the ticket. Neither, says MIR.

dacy of Arthur Capper and w. Y.
Morgan, with their platform OF
many colorS, to overShadOw the

Standpat element will in that
event desert the ticket. ?
B. P. Walker, in his Osborne
Farmer" says:
"The man who insists on drag
ging his Standpat RepublicaniSm
into the arena, is merely looking
for trouble. The fellow who in
SiStS on Haunting his banner of
Progressive Republicanism up
and down the highways and the
bywayS is trying to start some
thing"
! And so it all comes to this. That
if a man stands for old-style Re-
publicaniSm he must put his gum
shoes on and refrain from shout
ing for fear of driving his Pro-
greSSive neighbOr into voting for
Hodges or Allen. The fellow with
Progressive leaningS must wear a
Maxim Silencer" and swear fealty
to the Curtis crowd for fear they
will vote for Hodges again.
Any party which depends up
on a system of that sort for sue
cess has apparently forgotten that
the Kansas language is still spok-
en- in Kansas and that any attempt
to muzzle men and women who
speak it will be resented at the
polls.
The Billiard candidacy appears
to be giving Arthur Capper and
Henry Allen a great deal more
worry than it does Governor Hod-
geS. The fact is it is not giving
Governor Hodges any concern.
Governor Hodges knows full we'll
that Billiard will draw at least as
heavily from Republicans and
ProogresSiveS as from the Demo-
Gratis, No one, who is we'll in
formed as to the political situa-
ton, believes for moment that
Billiard will carry a single county
in the state, or that he will get to
exceed thirty or thirty-five thouS-
and votes. The apprehension of
Mr.. Capper and Mr.. Allen as to
the Billiard candidacy is apparent

And these great stores are not
all that Germany has in food to
fall back upon. The harvesting
season is here, and although the
greatest of all harveStS this year
will be gathered by grim death on
the battlefieldS, the Germans are
not allowing the fact that every
man able to bear arms is doing
his share to defend the fatherland
to prevent them from gathering
the crops, that in such a struggle
as this are even more important
than the golden "Sinews of war.
The harvesting is done by the wo-
men and the children, those from
the cities working alongside of
the country people. True, most Of
them are little experienced in this
work, and a certain percentage OF
the crops will be lost as a result
but al least the greater part will be
gathered and made available.

In order to prevent a cOrnerine

the necessary precautionary steps

is kept. If a dealer should attemp
to Overcharge a customer, or re-
fuse to sell the food required a

need only inform the nearest gen
darme or Schutzmann, and there
will be a quick remedy. The ShoI

supervision.
In this manner the food supply

commiSSary depotS are at all
times filled to at least four-fifthS
of their capacity with grain and
other food staples.
Whatever is not required of the
annual allotment to feed the army
and navy is sold at low fixed
rate to the public. The purchaS-
ing of these immense quantities
of foodStuffS is carried on in a
simple, methodical manner.
Whenever a farmer is unable to
obtain in The market the price for
his products that he figures upon,
he can get a fair, fixed rate, for
them from the government and he,
under these circumstances, is
never Obliged to throw his crop
on the market at ruinouSly low
prices. His simply informs the
nearest office of the Intendantur,
the Imperial CommisSary Depart
ment, that he has so much rye,
wheat, oats, peas, straw or what
ever staple on hand, and the In
tendantur purchases his goods at
the regular fixed rate. Whatever
cannot be obtained in this manner
is purchased in the open market,
but the government takes care that
every year one entire fifth OF
these stores is renewed.
In addition to the enormous
quantities of grains and other
non-periShable foodStuffS, the
government has in reserve large
stores of canned goods of all sorts
used in the regular provisioning
of the army. The best known sta.
pie of this kind, and one of which
a great stock is kept, is the famous

How great these stores are is
known only to the officials di-
rectly in charge of this important
branch of war preparation, and
they are keeping the secret as
carefully as the General Staff is

visions in the market are exhaust

feature of war, and Germany
hopes to be able to properly feed
both its fighting forces and those
remaining behind throughout the

GERMANY PROVISIONED
FOR A YEAR
By J. w. Van Eyndhoven, in Les
lies Illustrated Weekly.

For many years Germany has
been aware that there was great
danger of just such an emergency
arising as it is facing at present.
And realizing the danger, it pre-
pared for it in its own peculiar
methodical and thorough way.
Probably the greatest of all prob
lens to be met with in this crisis
is the feeding of the armies in the
field and at home, and the multi
tudeS of nOn-combatantS.
Practically encircled by enemies
with their war fleets dominating
the Atlantic and making the i'm
portation of foodStuffS impoSSi-
BILE, Germany must, in all proba.
bility for a long time to come, de-
pend for SuStenance on the stores
it has carefully huSbanded, in ad-
dition to what the country can
produce during war time, and
whatever it can import from its
ally, AustrO-Hungary.
In order to meet the great de-
mand for food during such a war
as this, Germany, decades ago, Or
ganized a great system of food
and fodder depOtS throughout the
Empire, and it is confidently be-
lieved that the food stores there
gathered are in themselves Suffi-
cient to feed all the armed forces
as we'll as the civilians for an en-
tire year. These governmental
depOtS are scattered throughout
the empire, and although it is well
known that they are in the most
secure spots and covered by for
tificationS, their exact locations
are among the most carefully
guarded military secrets,
Each depot IS composed of a
Series of storehouSeS, usually five
| in number. These are filled in ro-
tation at the rate of one each year,
one being depleted each year in
the feeding of the regular standing
army and navy. 1t will be readily
seen that under this system the

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Topeka, KanS., Sept. Z, 1914.
The Press Bureaus esteemed
friend, the editorial writer for the
'Leavenworth Times" reads the
press bureaus letters with the evi-
dent intention of finding fault
somehow or anyhow, and by so
doing generally makes himself di-
diculouS.
The press bureau recently
pointed out that when the Obliga-
tions of the StubbS administration
which have been paid by the Hod-
ReS administration, were subtract
ed from the Hodges expense ac-
count of 1914, and added to the
.StubbS expense account of 1912,
where they properly belong, the
Hodges administration shows
reduction of $108,OOO in the mat
ter of expense; and the press bu-
reau further pointed out that the
Hodges administration is able to
make that sort of a showing and
still spend $4,000 more for the
=. cause of.education during the fiS-
cal year 1914 than was spent by
/. the Stubs administration during
= the fiscal year 1912.
The press bureau then pointed
out that the Republican charges
of extravaganza against the Hod'
geS administration amounted tC
nothing less than an attack upOr
the appropriations given to the
big educational institutions, anC
welcomed the issue.
The press bureau thought il
: made itself plain, but the esteem.

misrepresentation, proceeded tC
assert that the Republicans were
finding no fault with the large ap.
preparations given to the educa.
tional institutions, and would fine

.er departments had been cores.
pondingly reduced.
But that is just what did hap.
pen. If the brilliant editoriaI
writer of the Leavenworth Times
will subtract the $4,000 extra
money which was spent for edu.
cational purposes in 1914, he will
find that the expense account Of
the Hodges administration for the
fiscal year 1914 shows a reduction
