ing to be published. So you see, Kid
dies, how very patient you must be.
Our first letter this week was sent in
by Louise Anderson, Mic, Michigan.

ME was very disobedient. He would
never mind his parents. One day his
mother asked him if he wouldn't get
her some eggs and come back right
away. He did it with pout. He got
the eggs, started to go to the house;
then thought it would be fun to play
with the kittens. But just as he start
I'd to go where the kittens were he
fell and broke the eggs and more than
that he bruised his knee so bad he had
to stay in bed till it was better. He
made firm resolution after he was
better he would always obey his moth

CHILLY AND GLOOMY.
March Was One of the Coolest and
Most Cloudy on Record.

March this year was one or the
most chilly Topeka has ever expert

snow, which melted slowly and soaked
the ground more thoroughly than 1T
has been at any time in the last three
years. The Inconvenience of the mud
dy weather and almost impossible
country roads will be more than com
pensated for by the benefit the 1919
crops will receive from the moisture
stored in the ground this month.
According to the detailed summary
that will be issued tomorrow morning
at the local weather bureau office 1t
was the third coolest March on rec
ord and averaged degrees colder

below normal The difference be-
tween the day and night temperatures
and the changes in temperature from
day to day were the least on record
for March and among the least record

The highest temperature recorded
was 5S degrees on the 18th; the low
makes it the first March on record
that has passed at Topeka without at
least one day warm enough to have
a temperature as high as 66 degrees.
Freezing weather occurred on more

much more effective in soaking the
ground than rain would have been,
especially as the continued cool,
cloudy weather prevented evaporation.
During the month there were but
days that were clear, 5 partly cloudy
and p cloudy This is the greatest
number Of cloudy days ever recorded
for any calendar month at Topeka.
Only SO per cent of the possible

Sioux tribe of South Dakota, who is in
Topeka as the guest of Sheriff L. L.
Kiene, spoke this morning at the To-
peka high school and later at Sumner
school. Chief Johnson came here
from Clay Center on invitation of
Sheriff Kiene who had hoped to be
able to arrange public meeting at
which he might present his interesting
ideas relative to tie management Of
the Indian wards of the American
government who, he thinks. should
be given the responsible of citizen

Chief Johnson arrived in Topeka
wearing his usual Indian costume with
full headdress significant of his own
rank as a head man of his tribe. His
father is one of the two principal
chiefs of the Sioux and the son is one
of the best educated Indians in the
country, having finished his education
at Carlisle, where he played quarter
back in 1907 and 1908, and spent the
past four years in travel. He has
been all over the world.
In appearance he is a fine looking
man with the poiSe of one accustomed
to public speaking. His voice is that
of cultured easterner He is a
fluent linguist, speaking many Indian
tongues as well as eight or nine for
eign languages.
Sheriff Kiene met him a week ago
in Junction City where he had a
speaking engagement and was so inn
pressed with his personality that he
invited him to Topeka. Chief John
son, being a government ward, is not
permitted to accept pay for his lee
lures and travels at his own expense.
1t had been expected that he would
speak here under the auspices of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, but no engagement could be
made before Thursday night and
johnson will leave Topeka before that
time.

"The Ohio Temperance Union"

The latest of the liquor interests of Ohio
is to organize the "Ohio Temperance Union" That
it is scheme of the vets to fool the people by
fair name apparent when it is considered that Harry
Probasco of Cincinnati and w. L. Casady of Marion
are in charge OF the headquarters of the union in Col
umbus Ohio. Probasco has been identified with the
Cincinnati liquor interests for some time; only last
fall he made speeches against the Prohibition amend
ment and has up to the present time been otherwise
active in liquor affairs. For several years Casady has
been recognized henchman of the liquor bunch
year or ago he rented offices in Columbus, try
ing to work up wet literary propaganda on temper
ance, but unsuccessful.
These plan to make Ohio people believe
this movement is actually in the interest of tenn
perance thinking the will fool them just as they
planned to fool the public with the "Home Rule As
socation the Constitutional Stability League" ETC.
They have started out by trying to deceive county
alr boards by sending the fair officials this letter.

THE OHIO TEMPERANCE UNION
We quote from of the literature the "Ohio
Temperance Union" wants to distribute at county
talrs on the pretext that it promotes temperance:
Prohibition makes temperance impossible
Prohibition discounts mans strength of character
Prohibition repudiates the Bible and Christ.
We combat Prohibition and all of it's agencies as de-
structve of temperance.
We stand for true temperance taught by the Bible
by experience of the and by sense
Should the Ohio people get any alleged temper
ance literature from the "Ohio Temperance Union"

sure they are hearing direct from the camp of the
Ohio brewers and that the latter are trying to play
them for suckers
