Il seems pity that Harvard turned
down the offer Of Illinois to play a
post season game, the receipts 10 20
to the relief OF Belgium sufferers
True, post season football contests
drag the season out pretty long, and
means a great GeaI to the men who
have played the game throughout the
season. In such a case. however, Har-
ward could have heaped a lot more
glory on herself by agreeing to the
plan
Yale undoubtedly would have dona-.
ed her great new bowl for tho occa-
sion, which would have meant some
thing like $4,000 for stricken Bel.
GUM. It would have given football
the biggest boost in the history of the
sport, and put an end to any argu
ment on who is king this fall On the
gridiron.

Second Game.

In the second game there were many
"time-out" calls for men who were
morentarily incapacitated, but the
damage done was in each case only
slight. Each man on the railroad team
played hard and deserves commenda-
ton. The NJ r. P. men were lack

THE CHURCHES.
Methodist Notes.

Rev. A. S. Hale will speak from the
theme 1.-THE Value of Man" in the
morning. and in the evening, the Hon
orabIe Henry F. Mason, supr sme judge
Of Kansas, will make the address on
General Grant. This is a patriotic
meeting. It is to be hoped that the
church will be crowded. He comes as
finished scholar and eloquent speaker
and as learned j1rist. Let everybody
give the judge real Western Kansas
reception.
On next Wednesday evening the
church is to give o'clock supper to
the congregation. Rev. Stevens, the
Dist. Supt., Rev Westman. and Rev.
Wilson are to be present to make ad-
dresses on the new financial plan that
is being discussed by the various de-
nominations. 1t is the every member
pay plan. It is an educational moYe-
ment.
Last Sunday was great day for the
church. Many new faces were seen in
the congregation. The Sunday School
lacked only sixteen of having its en-
tire enrolment in attendance. 1t is a
principle of our church to make the
stranger welcome, so many attend.
It is to be hoped that the members
Of our various Sunday Schools of the
city and county will see to it that every
Sunday School has a delegate at the
State Sunday School Convention to be
held in May at Hutchinson. This is an
age of Bible study. Never in the his
tory of man were there so many dill
gently studying the Bible. If you are
not in some Bible study class, come to
the Methodist.

ooNr1scAr1oN oF PRopERrY:

In the present effort of the national government
regulate the railroads it is frequently pointed out
by representatives of the railroads that regulation. if
pressed too far, is likely to amount virtually to a
confscation of railroad properties If much is re-
quired of the railroad companies that they hence
forth unable to attract capital or cannot operate
prohtably eonfscation has begun. This danger point
is to be avoided it is commended This possibility is
readily understood,
On the other hand in the relation OF the railroad
to the individual travellers especially those who have
built the along the line of railroad and pro-
vide both passenger and freight traffic, is there no
attempt to confseate property when railroad COM
pany exorbitantly raises rates?
The posted rates which TO go into effect in
South jersey had not the State Public Utility Com
mission interviewed, practically double what they
had been the 100-trip ticket and on others pro-
portionately Families had selected suburban towns
their homes account of attractive railroad rates
They had built their homes and had assumed that
they could remain undisturbed In practically all
these towns during the public discussions going on
over the railroad exactions have considered the
advisability of removing within FIVE or ten cent
trolley car radius of Philadelphia But under the cir
cumstsnces they cannot sell their homes except at
loss and furthermore there is longer the accus-
toned attraction to newcomers to the town. The
question then arises whether one can sell at all.
Those who rent their homes have property to tie
them to a town They readily go where fares are
easier. Thus it becomes difficult to rent. Prop
erty values decrease.
The man who is in the dilemma whether TO go or
to stay feels that he cannot leave his home He has
only to pay over to the railroad company the extra
demanded of him with inward imprecation two.
He has precisely the feeling the who
has been held up the highway.
Is there nothing here resembling confscation of
property far the individual goes? 1t is good
thing that there is public utility commission, or
otherwise the individual would be powerless.

why a Blush Is . Sign That Yon Are
Well.
Diogenes once saw a youth blushing
and quoth: Courage, my boy! That
is the complexion of virtue" Terence,
the Latin poet philosopher, said that
when a man or maid bushes, all is
safe Physically and hysentcally
speaking, modern physiology goes
even further, for 1t proves that q man
or maid who bushes is not quite o
brute,
Bashful people, it is true, feel the
pain of fancied scorn and undeserved
disdain, when the more hardened in
dividual perceives nothing but his own
pleasure.
Meaning Of q Blush.
Bushes are neither signs of unso-
phistication nor sophistication. They
are no more the badges of imperfec-
ton than Of perfection, neither a viz
tue nor O. vice.
Prolix bushes do not gain nor ban
ish what they sue for. Nor Is it nee
essary to seek favor with bushes, or
to think you failed to obtain your
ends because you had none.
The mechanics OF the blush are
much like the workings Of engines.
There are turbines, Diesers and many
other types of steam, gas and on en-
ginee. Type for type, there arc many
sorts of bushes. Descriptively, every
body knows what a blush with tts
turgid rush of the scarlet stream into
the face is.
II lad or lass is anaemic or Ill
the bushes which were prone to
mantle the cheeks will be as lacking
as last years roses.

A VOTE ON NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION.

In the House Of Representatives tomorrow the
Hobson amendment for nationwide prohibition will
come up and probably before Friday there viii be a
vote on it, That the amendment viii be defeated
seems certainty and the interest, therefore. lies in
the number of votes it will command.
An amendment to the Federal constitution must
be passed by two-thirds of both houses of Con-
gress before it can submitted to the State legis
7stures 1t must then be adopted by the legislatures
ar conventions OF three-fourths of the States The
method amending the constitution, therefore, seems
an insuperable barrier to such an amendment
The members of the present Congress were not
elected on any question of prohibition. In the cleo
ton for this Congress the Prohibition party did not
succeed in eectng single candidate their ticket.
he ISSUE therefore, is Improperly made at this time,
and it is a useless distraction from the vastly inn
portant business OF session which has limited life.
Before an amendment that affects millions of
people, thousands of millions OF property interests
and immense public revenues, national, State and
municipal, is submitted, Congress should be elected
on that question only The issue before the people
should be distinct The election should be the popular
referendum.
The Prohibition party for forty years has tried TO
make the in presidential election, and has
failed TO command any appreciate support. There
ore it has no popular warrant to show to congress
elected wholly irrespective of prohibition. 1t may be
we'll however, TO have vote the HobsOn amend
nent just show its futiity and get it out of the
way of the real business of the session.

The Agricultural Value of Lime

Obviously. permanent results can
not be expected unless care Is taken
to insure the presence of some organic
fertilizer at all times, Lame useo
alone may be temporarily beneficial,
but will eventually be harmful; when
used with cowpea vines it becomes
more efficient for general purposes
than almost any other fertilizer. Or
course, lime is not beneficial to all
crops to the same extent, and not ali
soils need lime.
Thus some OF the common plants
which are stated by this report to be
benefited by lime are spinach, lettuce,
beet. celery, onion, cucumber, cants
aloupe asparagus, cabbage. peanut
rhubarb, pea, pumpkin, bean, tobacco
alfalfa, clover. barley. wheat, oats.
Timothy, gooseberry. currant, orange.
ounce, and Cherry Indian corn 10
only slightly benefited. Plants which
are said to be slightly injured by
lime are cotton, tomato. cowpea,
concord grape. peach, apple, and pear;
and those really injured are radish
flax, blackberry, black raspberry and
cranberry. Whether q soil will
respond to lining or not depends on
the amount, of available calcium oxide
which it already contains. Unfortu-
nately chemical analysis does not dis
tinguish between the total calcium
oxide and that which is available to
plants. Probably the best indication
OF the need OF lime is the failure to
obtain good crop of clover

MONEY BY PARCEL posi-.

In establishing the parcel post the United States
government saved only the public but the nation
itself prodigous The experimental use of the
parcel post transporting money and securities for
example, brings light the extent to which the ex-
press companies have been mucting the government
in exorbitant charges for this service,
Four shipments of gold coin from the Philadelphia
mint to subtreasures have been made by parcel post
total saving of more than 600 from the old
express rates On another shipment of $4,000, 900
from the Denver mint express company, under
threat of to the parcel post reduced its rate
two-thirds saving the government $4,000 this
item. Reductions of express rates to meet threat
ened parcel post competition have also saved the gov
eminent about S112 600 on shipments of Federal
serve notes to the twelve reserve banks
AS with private business it would be a staggering
statistical job calculate how many millions of dol
lars Of unreasonable profit the express companies
squeezed Of the government in all the years be-
the parcel post put stop to the systematic game
of grab.

Status of Foreign Firms in Hongkong

An arrangement has been effected
whereby Germans and Austrian
firms heretofore doing business in
Hongkong may continue to do bust
ness during the war, under certain
restrictions, says Z. S. Counsel-Gen-
eral George Z. Anderson stationed at
Hongkong. In line with an i'm
perial proclamation defining the
status of German and Austro-Hun-
garian citizens and firms domiciled
or located in British territory, the
government has passed
an ordinance embodying the regula-
tions necessary to enable Germans
and Austrians to do business while a
state of war exists. The matter Is of
especial interest to American import
share of the import and export bust
ness between Hongkong and the
United States is transacted by Ger
man firms.
The law and proclamation men,
toned establish the principle that
trading with the enemy'-which is
prohibited by law in Great Britain
and it's dominions-Shall be trading
with all persons or interests domiciled
In the enemy country and does not
include enemy nationals, i. e., Ger
mans and Austro- Hungarians domi-
ciled in British territory or territory
of the allies or of neutrals. Where,
therefore, an enemy national is per-
mitted to reside in British territory
during the war and where his bust
ness is of local connection only, there
is nothing in British law or British
regulation to prevent him doing bust
ness as any other resident of such
territory, nor is there anything to
prevent British nationals anywhere
from doing business with such enemy
national In a neutral country.
Most Of the large German concerns,
however, are either Hongkong
branches of concerns domiciled in
Germany or Hongkong concerns with
German branches. 1t is evident that
IL trading were permitted without re-
striction the partners In these houses
in Germany would share the benefits
of Hongkong trading and would
