Y. M. C. A. IN WAR ZONE
Soldiers Hungry for Religion. Heinz
man Tells Kansas Convention.

Kansas City, Kan, Feb. THE
soldiers in the trenches are hungry for
religious inspiration, declared Harry L.
Heinzman, of Chicago, student secre-
tary of the International Y. NJ. c. A,
who spoke before the biennial con-
vention of the Young Mems Christian
Association of Kansas in session here.
Mr. Heinzlnan told of the visits to
many different Y. NJ. c. A. camps at
the British front and compared the
crowds at the camps with those at
the wet canteens" in these words:
I'VE visited several Y. NJ. G. A.
camps near Canterbury and when We
went over to the wet canteen, which
supplies liquor and other refresh
ments to the soldiers in every British
camp we found less than a dozen men
in the place, though it was dry and
comforta BILE, while the Y. M c. A.
tent, which was dripping with rain,
was crowded full"
For weeks while was in Europe, Mr..
Heinzman said, he found many repeti-
tions of the scene that night near
Canterbury.
J. NJ Clinton. of New York. one of
the foreign department secretaries OF
the International Y. NJ. c. A, who fol-
lowed Mr.. Heinzman on the program,
told the delegates that Toxic was the
real storm center of the Chinese revo-
luton.
Mr.. Clinton explained the work of
the association in the Orient and as
serted that Toxic was the center OF
the movement because of the presence
there of thousands of China's finest
young men, sent to Japan to seek the
solution of the national problems.

farm bureau and a county agent will
do more good for the farmers than
any other means that can be employed

as stated in an address here Saturday.
More than 800 counties have adopted
the plan, said Mr.. Johnson. In no
county has the work been discontinued
and both farmers and town people are
earnest supporters of the bureau.
The backing of farm bureaus is
necessary to enable a county agent to
work successfully Mcpherson and
Wilson counties are just completing
the organization of their bureaus and
twelve other counties in Kansas are
working now. The county agency is
a clearing house for information gain
ed by experienced farmers and the
term Farm Adviser" is Inappropriate,
according to Mr.. Johnson. In coun-
ties where an agent operates much at
tention is given to building up the soil,
the improvement of livestock. the con-
troll of the Hessian fly and prevention
of hog cholera.
Edward Johnson is director of ex-
tension in the Kansas Agricultural col
lege at Manhattan.

short distance from the Henry home.
The children did not witness the death
of their father.
The alarm was sent out from the
Paxton home and a posse of farmers
gathered. They were afraid to enter
came, as they did not know that
Henry was dead. They awaited the
arrival of the officers from Seneca.
No inquest will be held. A note ad-
dressed to his narents at Sabetha was
found in Henry's pocketbook. 1t
