Burlington veteran Committed Suicide
by Hanging in Low Shed.

Burlington, Kan, Aug. 19.-Samuel
Dye was found dead in the coal shed
at his home near the Katy coal chutes,
apparently having committed suicide
by hanging.
Dye was 81 years of age and was
married the first day of last June to
Mrs. Daisy Taylor, aged 81, widow of
Tom Taylor. He was an old soldier
and drew a pension.
Coroner Manson was called about 3
o'clock and found Dye in the coal shed
with a heavy cord around his neck
and fastened to the top of the shed.
As the shed was only about five feet
high, Dye was sitting down, with his
feet straight out in front of him.

RefOrmatory Sued by X. e. Boy,

Wellington. Kan. Aug. 19.--Richard
F. Holmes, IT years old. through his
mother, has entered suit here in the
district court against John Finn for
$25. 900, alleging that Finn injured the

while Finn was an officer and the
boy an inmate of the Industrial school
in Topeka.
In the petition, it is alleged that
Finn, while airing the boys in the
school that day. found fault with
young Holmes because he did not have
his shirt collar buttoned. The result,
the petition declares. was the beating
which~has incapacitated Holmes for
life. Since the trouble, Finn has
moved into Sumner county and the
suit therefore is brought here.
Holmes lives at S26 Garfield avenue,

no appeal for the individual to obtain
military training as the highest duty
of his citizenship. Enlistment is held
out a. q job in which the individual
gets small pay but is well cared for,
with an outdoor, wholesome life and
retirement on three-quarters pay and
vice, and il is accepted as a Job.
"It is fundamental with a free peo-
pie that equal opportunities and pro-
lection under the law brings equal re-.
sponsibility in upholding and maintain
ing the law. Each owes to the BODY
polite his duty not only in civil af-
fairs but also in the defence of the
nation.
But with us thousands have been
inculcated with the belief that wars
were TO be ended and that the United
States should, as the exponent OF the
highest civilization, set an example iii
minimum of military preparedness,
and some even advocated tho army and
navy be dsbanded
Many March, Few Enlist
During the months OF May and
June hundreds of thousands marched
in so-called preparedness parades 10
the plsudits of onlookers. But when
the militia was called out in June to
protect our border, it was with the ut
most difficulty that its units were re-
cruited TO the small number required,
and some were never filled. The spirit
was rife to let somebody else do it.
"Not only is there evidence of the
volunteer spirit being moribund, but
the states have for years been unable
to make an efficient showing with tho
militia, even with the generous assist
ance of the general government in
qualified instructors and supplies. II
would seem that the self-reliance OF
the individual. like that of the states,
had given way to dependence upon
others.
"The fine volunteer spirit of the
states militia was injured in the de-
mand for Federal pay in time OF peace.
IL sounded the knell of patriotic mill
tary training for individual, and com
mercialized the highest duty that a
state can demand from It's people.
1--WE have fallen away from the
teaching Of the fathers, for there is
no longer instilled into our people the
fundamental doctrine that every man
owes a military as well as civil obli-
cation TO his government.
"A young man between eighteen
and twenty-one is at the least earning
capacity Of his career. It is time of
anxiety TO the parent and uncertainty
for the son. During these years few
settle into their life's vocation. They
are an expense to their parents; their
average earnings will not pay for their
board and clothes. They can be given
military training without the slightest
disruption of business.
"The stabilizing effect OF military
discipline and intensive training upon
such young men would be of utmost
value in forming character and thereby
a foundation for their life's work.
They would become an asset of meal
culable value to the nation, not only
in time Of emergency, but in the re-
cruitment TO industrial life Of the

Drop in Price of Eggs
Predicted for To day

Reports Of tumbling egg prices in
Chicago, where James l.. Wet5, the
egg king" was seeking customers at
80 cents a dozen, had decidedly ex-
bilarating effect upon New York boy
colt leaders yesterday and a depressing
one upon the market. While whole
sale prices were only a fraction lower
than the preceding day, big dealers
predicted "a possible drop" and repre-
sentatives Of consumers "a certain
drop" to-day.
Added 10 market conditions was the
further news from Albany that every
union in the state had been drawn INTO
the fight TO cut down food prices
through boycott methods by action OF
the executive council Of the State red
GRAFTON Of Labor there. The council
followed approval Of the action OF the
state Association Of Mayors by send
ing letters TO all labor organizations
in the state, calling upon them TO take
an active part in the campaign against
high prices.

Union at its headquarters, IN East
Fiqhtv-sixth Street. Mayor Cornelius
Burns of Troy, who reported the union s
action TO Joseph Hartigan, Commits
sioner Of Weights and Measures, in the
afternoon, announced that it was by
far the most important move in favor
of lower food prices during the present
general boycott.
Retail dealers throughout the city
reported that the boycott on eggs had
resulted in cutting down their sales
from 90 TO so per cent. Grocers who
had sold twenty-five cases day. re-
ported that sales had fallen to from
two or three to ten cases a day.

HOUSTON LAYS
PRICES TO WASTE
Secretary Thinks u. 5. Can
Supply Itself and Meet
World Needs

Washington. Dec. Faith IN the
ability Of the United States not only to
supply itself with food. but increasing
ly to meet the needs Of the world, was
expressed by Secretary of Agriculture
Houston in his annual report TO Con-
gress to-day. Tho cause Of the present
high prices. It is.inferred, lies not in
the lack Of supply, but in the method
Of its distribution and in tho terrible
waste Of foodstuffs.
Mr.. Houston presents a table show
ing the food supply Of the nation and
the per capita consumption for the
years 1899. 1909 and 1915, and declares
that. notwithstanding the rapid increase
in popua alton, the production per capita
Of many commodities, with the eXcep-
ton Of meats and dairy products, has
remained approximately the same or
has increased.
The Department OF Agriculture has
devoted considerable attention 10 tho
question Of increasing the meat pro
duction of the country. Secretary
Houston saws that "the decline IN beef
production reached It's lowest point IN
1918. and since that date there has been
a material increase, while there has
been a marked advance in the number
OF swine since 1899. The number OF
sheep has continued TO decline, but on y
70 a slight extent. The number OF AMI
mails slaughtered and the quantity OF
meat products prepared under govern
ment inspection during the last fiscal
wear are the largest in the history of
tho service; yet this heavier slaughter
ing has been accompanied by an in
crease in the remaining stock of AMI
mails.
Table Shows Supply
"Tuteresting questions arise as to
whether the domestic food supply OF
the nation Is keeping pace with the
growth in population, and as to whst
are the prospects for the future. the
renort continues. "Tho following table
in this connection is Illuminating:
Food Supply Of the United States.
