Removal From Office Is Right
of Attorney General.

Many officers-elect may be subject
to the loss of their jobs. after win
ming nomination and election unless
there is some record work in filing
campaign expense accounts. Several
state officials have not filed their ex-
pense statements with ]. T. Botkin,
secretary of state. Friday is the last
day. Unless the statements are filed
by that time, the new officials are
subject to fine and removal from of
flee.
Under the law ten days are given
| in which to file campaign expense ac-
counts. The ten days date from the
| -tion. Friday is the last day for
| the filing of expense accounts in KAN
sas. State committee heads, however.
have thirty days in which to file their
statements.
The law governing the filing of ex-
pense accounts is most drastic. 1t was
enacted in 1915 and provides fine of
| $1,000 for violation, automatically va
Gates the office to which person may
have been elected and disqualifies
such person from holding office for q
period of two years. Just now there
are a number of persons elected to
public offices who have failed to file
their campaign statements. The state

for state office must file their expense
statements with the secretary of state.

Legislators Exempt.
| Recently S. NJ. Brewster, attorney

not affect legislative candidates and
exempted both senatorial and repre-

and many candidates who won places

caution to file statements. Cthers who
have failed may encounter contests f

LACK OF WORMS
And BUGS GIVES
CHEAP TURKEYS
Summer DrOuth Assures BOun-
tifuI Thanksgiving Birds.
Kansas Will Eat Cheaper White
Meat Than Usual.
SOARING IN OTHER STATES
Only PIutocrats Can Eat Cob
lers in East This Year.
Once More Prosperous Farmers
Are Held to Blame.

WED better be glad we live in KAN
sas'' said Frank Cope, one of the
largest local dealers in poultry, this
afternoon, concerning the prospect for
Thanksgiving turkeys this year. Kan
sas people, and particularly local peo-
pie, are going to get their Thanksgiv-
ing turkeys this year at a very small
advance in the price on last years
birds, and there are going to be plenty
of birds to supply the demand. Factors
have been operating thruout the state
this year, to put the holiday fowl on
the table at a cost which will be lower
in proportion than that of the trim
mings, which go along with it.
Some of the factors: The drouth,
the high price of corn, and the natural
desire of the farmers to sell rather
than feed, when feed is high.
The drouth during the summer re-
duced to an amazing extent the num-
Der of grasshoppers, bugs and worms
which are the natural diet of the tur-
key. The high price of corn makes
the farmer reluctant to feed it to the
birds, and as consequence the birds
are to be dumped on the market in an
unfinished and undeveloped condition
which makes them undesirable for the
packers who supply the hypercritical
eastern trade
Local people will be able to eat tur-
key cheap, but it won't be quite as
good turkey as it might be, on ac-
count OF the undeveloped condition OF
the fowls, when they are sold.
Later in the season, too. the price
and the quality will go up together
The turkey-raiser who goes to the
trouble and expense of feeding his
birds till they are plump and in first
class condition. will demand and be
able to get a higher price than thoss
growers who sell now. 4
There won't be any 35 cent a pound
turkey on the Thanksgiving table, -
says Mr.. Cope. but the people would
better eat their turkey at Than sgiv-
ing. and be as contented as possible
with slightly poorer grade, than wait
till Christmas
Precisely the same factors have act
ed to keep the market for ducks and
geese down. and the latter may be
purchased during the early part of the
sea son at least. at exactly the same
price as last years poultry
The chicken market is in the same
condition. Only a short time ago the
consumes 10 carloads of chickens a
day, received 240 carloads, most OF
the birds being undeveloped.

Farmers to Blame.
Dallas. Tex, Nov. 15.-You're going

PACT WITH MEX. ?
Conference Reaches Mutual
Basis of Agreement.
Includes Withdrawal of e. s.
Army From Mexico.

Atlantic City. N. J., Nov 15.-De-
spite indications of obstructionist
tactics on the Mexican side, the Ameri-
can members of the joint peace COM
mission here believed today there is
still a chance of reaching a border
agreement involving General Perish
ing's Withdrawal.
While the apparent obstruction an
noyed the American group perceptibly,
one of its members said:
1.-The foundation has been laid for a
structure which we have excellent
reason to trust will take the form of
an agreement. And. while we have
come to something concrete, it is
nothing more than tentative. There is
now a situation wherein we come to
the criticisms which we trust will re-
suit in a unity of mind"
Tentative Draft for Approval
The Carranzista members had PLAN
ned to send the tentative agreement
to Carranza by messenger for ratifica-
ton, while the Americans expected to
submit the proposals to the Washing
ton government by telegraph.
Whether the eleventh hour opposi-
ton of the Mexican side will thwart
the expected agreement was impossi-
bic of prediction today But the
Americans indicated that there will be
little dallying from now on.
In addition to the military agree
ment, the Americans hope for action
more favorable to American investors,
such as the big mining interests.

cans of Kansas" A vote on the two
propositions probably will be taken
late this afternoon.
Physicians, attorneys and men in
other professions are safeguarded by
legislation said President Bohrer.
''Why not the garage men cf Kansas
They're willing to pay a license and IL
the farmers owning Fords and other
cars are also obliged to pay a license
they will be only too glad to bring
their cars into a garage and have ex-
pert work done on them"
In speaking of the contemplated
change of name of the association,
President Bohrer stated that the
blacksmiths are rapidly becoming a
curiosity and they are being forced
into the garage business. 1t is only
fair, he declared, that the garage men
be invited into the association.
Mayor Jay E. House, who is rapidly
gaining a reputation as a welcoming
orator, equal to Jim Dahlman, cowboy
mayor of Omaha, turned the keys of
the city over to the blacksmiths.
Prayer was offered by minister, rou-
tine business transacted and the con-
vention proper began about 4 o'clock.
Tonight the blacksmiths will get a
taste of high life when they are ini-
tiated into the Ake-Pot Sterboos.
A full program is promised for to-
morrow. Addresses and a theater par
ty will be the program tomorrow eve
ming. Two big boxes of apples were
taken to the Chamber of Commerce
rooms and while the president spoke
the 100 blacksmiths and wagonmak-
ers assembled munched the fruit.

TAKE PLACE OF BAYONETS
Front of Seven Miles Cut OFF by
Sudden Thrust.
Most Important Success of -Four
Months Battles.

Copyright, 1916, by the Associated
Press.)
With the British Army in France,
via London, Nov. 15.-The British ad-
vance along both sides of the Ancre.
which continued yesterday with the
capture of the village of Beaucourt, is
considered by the British commanders
as one of the most important successes
in the four months of the offensive.
They insist especially on the relatively
insignificant character of the German
resistance in a position which they
consider of great strategic Importance
and one of the most highly fortified
on the entire western front.
More than 5000 prisoners have been
collected in the extensive subterranean
galleries and chambers which were
sunk on both sides of the valley and
were miles in extent. Five hundred
Germans surrendered in a tunnel near
st. Pierre Divion, which was a mile
and a half long. This tunnel gave ac-
cess to scores of little chambers in
which companies of infantry were
housed and which contained machine
guns and bombs. Another seven hum
dred prisoners were caught in a ravine
south of Beaumont-Hamel, where they
were cut off by the first attack Mon
day afternoon.
Were Changing Troops at Time.
The British success south of the
Ancre was increased owing to the fact
that Germans in this sector were on
the point of being relieved by fresh
troops when the attack was launched
The result was that twice the normal
strength of the garrison was trapped
by the enemy fire Among the prison
ers taken here were many men of the
Ninety-third infantry. of which the
Duke of Albany is honorary colonel
ln-chief- The regiment lost heavily.
According to the prisoners, the
duke was waiting in the rear to in
spect the regiment when it left the
fighting line. The majority of the
infantry fighting was done with gren-
AIDES instead of bayonets. The Brit
ish swarmed over the surface between
the trench lines and hurled showers
of bombs into the Germ n dugouts
and shelters, capturing in quick sue
! ceSs1on seven parallel rows of main
German trenches between Beaumont
Hamel and Beaucourt.
A Tank Does Destructive Work,
Prisoners from the Prussian guards
told the Associated Press correspond
ent that the terrific British lombard
ment destroyed the machine gun en-
placements and made resistance to the
infantry charge impossible. They said
they were cut off from their reserves
on an entire front of seven miles
