MISSIONARIES WILL
PRAY TO END WAR
Faith Has Diminished Among Social
ed Heather Since Con-
niCt Began.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Nov. l.
Missionaries from out-of-theway
places of earth will join in prayer for
peace in Europe at the opening here
tomorrow of the seventh interdenom-
national medical missionary confer
ence. Workers returning from for
eign fields for the conference say that
faith in Christian institutions has
diminished among the so-caled
heather since the war has been rag
ing in Europe. They do not under
stand, the missionaries say, that ma
tons believing in a gospel of peace
could throw themselves into war at
so slight prOvOcation.
Two hundred missionaries repre-
senting all denominations and coming
from every foreign field will attend
the conference. Those who are to
represent Armenia have lately observ-
ed indescribable horrors among that
beleaguered people. One of the dele
gates will tell of his experiences as a
captive of the Turks, held as a public
enemy because of his Canadian par
entage. Rev. Harlan Y. Beach, dean
of Yale divinity school, will preside
at the conference which will be held
at Battle Creek sanitarium.

RIVAL FIRE COMPANIES
FAIL TO QUENCH FLAMES

PETERSBURG, Ind. Nov. -
Ninslow, nine miles south of here,
has two recently organized fire COM
panies, each with a membership of
y men. There was soon a rivalry
between the two companies as to
which could reach and eXtinguish
Ire first To test the matter, it was
decided that a big pile of kindling
should be set on fire i'm a distant part
Of the town, and at a given alarm
both companies were to respond. The
bonfire was lighted. 1t was a close
contest between the companies as to
which arrived first. Both companies
started a stream of water on the fire
within a few seconds of each other.
The more water that was thrown on
he fire. however, only caused the
flames TO shoot higher. Both com
panies did their best, and neither
could eXtinguish the flames. Then it
was discovered that the town wag
had hidden a big can of carbide in the
pile Of kindling. The contest was
called off and will be held later.

The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1915-07-16
They Call Themselves Har-
vest Hands.

Along about the middle of April
thousands of men, of all classes from
tolerable looking fellows out of work,
down to the professional hobo, flood
the towns of Kansas. These fellows
pose as harvest hands, and we noticed
In some news paper the other day that
they should be cared for by tie farm
ers. The idea is perfectly ridiculous.
On the other hand state wide effort
should be made to rid the state Of
this army of humbugs.
Few of them are here when harvest
begins. They seem to get a scare
when the wheat begins to turn, and
"beat 1t" on to the Dakotas or some
place else to put up the same old
"harvest hand" stall, and live on the
sympathy of the people until they
hear works approaching footsteps.
A large percent of what few stay In
Kansas are hardly worth their board
when IL comes to real work, and
they are always the fellows who
stir up strife among the crews
There is no reason why Kansas can
not get plenty of good harvest hands
when the time comes without feeding
an army of shirkers from two to six
weeks In order to get few days work
from a few hundred of them. Pres
