( Authoritative advices that have
/ been slowly trickling in through the
| mails and oy word of mouth from a
few who have been able to make their
way to this country from the stricken
land would seem to indicate that Po-
land and its people have suffered an
even worse fate than has been the
portion of Belgium. In this instance,
for the most part, the Russians have
been the offenders. Their gigantic
advances and retreats through a large
part of Poland have laid the country
desolate. Their treatment of the
Poles, by nature a submissive and nom
resisting people, is pictured as having
been severely cruel, worse, in fact,
than even the harsheSt treatment that
the Germans accorded to the Belgians.
The Russians have ravished the towns
and cities, as well as the highways and
byWays of Poland, or the premise that
the Poles have been giving informa-
ton and aid to the Germans. Thou
sands upon thousands of Poles have
been driven from their homes, which
have been destroyed, to the fields and
woods as if they were animals and
coulds their bodies on the fod-
der OF beasts. The sufferings of these
hard-pressed humans are acute. They
have nothing, not even roofs to shell
ter them. They have no means to OBJ
tain anything. Their cry for help
should be needed and the people of
the United States are the only ones in
the world who are in a position to ex-
tend some of the aid they need We
have been generous with the Belgians

MARY JAMES FISH.

Il want to go along, father. Please
l want to go along!" cried Mary Jane
as she danced gaily into the room
where her father was packing his
fishing kit.
You want to go fishing?" ex-
claimed father in surprise. Y GU
wouldn't like fishing one bit. Fisher
men have to keep very still, very still

to stay and stay even when the fish
don't bite. You had better play here

he was easily persuaded to call moth

helped dig the bait, and then proudly
trudged off beside her big father
When they reached the river where
they were to fish, father baited her
line and told her where to sit, then
left her while he fixed his own bait
and line.
For the first fifteen minutes after
her line was dropped into the water.
Mary Jane sat SO still she hardly
breathed. Then, at the end of that
time. she was so tired she drew a long
breath and looked around. A little
way up the bank she saw her father
sitting quite as still as she was, his
eyes On the line where it dangled in
the river. IF father can sit still
longer, can too" thought Mary Jane.
so she took q long breath and watched
her line some more
Presently she again looked at her
father. He had moved his position
a bit and she couldn't see him quite
so well, but he seemed to be fishing
as diligently as ever; SO Mary Jane
pulled out her lire, inspected her bait

GOOD ROADS.

Undoubtedly, many of the extreme
ly bad places in the Kansas roads
were fixed up here and there during
the two days good roads building bee
that was proclaimed by Governor
Capper. But nothing in the line of
providing. Kansas with the kind of
good roads she should have was &C
complished. Indeed, it is little bet
ter than a waste of energy to attempt
to make good roads in. any such
fashion. Good roads are permanent
roads, and it would be far better for
the good roads movement in Kansas
if each of its counties would use the
bulk of its money that is available
for roads in building two or three, or
even one mile of such roads each year
rather than attempt to spread this
money in work on many miles of
roads that does no more than tenn
porarily improve them.
