Chamber OF CONNER,
:: Notes r.

Still they come-singly, and in
bunches-a fine lot of people bent on
getting away from snow and ice, a
coal scarcity and other handicaps to a
good town many of them already know
and which those who have not prev
iosly known have had a good account
of. Every effort is made to get them
comfortably located, and this involves
a good deal of patient work on the
part of the office as well as the visi-
tor.
Many of our friends of last year
have returned and others are coming,
delighted with the treatment they re-
ceived and the climate and general
conditions. These old friends of ours,
together with the courtesies previous
ly extended to them, are responsible
for the coming here of many of their
neighbors, showing that bread cast

At the Baptist
Church Sunday

DR.. Kerr Boyce Tupper, of Phila-
delphia-a preacher of great power,
filled swith the spirit, with vision
of things spiritual, preached at the
morning and evening hour. DR.. Tup-
per was given a hearty welcome by
his many friends. Scriptural reading
from the prayer of devotion-Psalm
67-followed by an earnest prayer,
prepared our hearts for the message
of the morning, on Christmas Expan-
sion Texts--Psalm 1892. 81 will run
the way of thy commandments, when
thou shalt enlarge my heart, and End
Corinthians, 1915.
The prominent and dominant idea
of the text-Expansion-i a distinc-
tive feature of our age. Each cen
tury has been marked by some dis
tinctive feature. The goth Century is
marked by great growth and devel-
opment, the most popular word is
'expansion"-a watch word.
In our personal, and Christian char
acter there should be this expansion.
Live things always grow Religion is
live thing-life giving and life pro-
ducing. How shall we develop?
By four things is Christianity esti-
mated and if we have these we will
present a beautiful picture of Christ
likeness. For Christianity is vision,
thought, sympathy and work; some
thing seen, held, felt, and done We
see God, think Of God, love, and serve
God.
Four kinds of men in every church
the devotional, intellectual, esthe-
tic, and the practical man-each de-
veloped to his highest, produces men
of power. If we would serve the
King we must be men and women of
vision, thought, sympathy and SER
vice. Vision, the fundamental or foun-
dation stone upon which rests our
hope, was the theme of the sermon
To have spiritual vision, to see
things invisible and to grasp things
of our duty to God and our fellow
man, these elevate and stimulate q
man to a noble life. Spiritual faith
dies where there is no vision, our age
is materialistic, encourage the spirit.
ualistic vision which goes beyond;
have holy, high, and beatific vision.
The church needs those in pulpit and
pew-as leaders-those who have Wis
on. To the pan without vision the
Bible is just characters, chapters and
verses. To the man of spiritual Wis
on every word is a message from
God, surcharged with heavenly fire. |
Nan can see some things that the ply |
'ical eye cannot see. To exist is to |
10 certain animal functions. To live !
to have strength, thought and pur-
bose given of God. Christ says he

Poultry Dealers Kick when They

HUTCHINSON. Kan. Feb. 3.-Tho
poultry buyers and shippers of this
section are tired of paying II cents
per pound for wheat and corn.
Carl Nelson, chairman of the legis-
lative committee of the Central Kan.
sas Poultry association, estimated to-
day that the poultry buyers has to pay
for an average of "A quarter of
pound of wheat or corn in the crop of
fowl when buying it and often as
much as half n pound OF II.
The hucksters who buy up the
chickens and sell them TO us are usu-
ally to blame, but often the farmers
also do it, said Nelson. "They will
fasten the chickens up in coop until
they are half starved and then just
before bringing them to market will
let them gorge on grain. We have to
pay for an extra half pound weight
often. The worst thing about 1t is
that this does not digest, but sours
and makes the meat unfit for human
use when shipped"

FARMERS SALVATION
IS IN COOPERATION
How Rome Ruined Her Farm
ers and How Germany Plan
ned Out Their Welfare.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
ROME, Jan. 1S.-"The remedy for
the high cost of food in the United
States is adoption by the national
government of a scientific plan for
dsposing of farm products" accord
ing to David Lubin, the American
representative to the International
Institute of Agriculture here and him
self the originator of the plan of
founding that institution.
"rhe remedy was worked out by
Germany many years ago and all we
have to do is to adopt this remedy,
he said. The trouble with our pres
ont farming conditions is that the
middleman and the speculator rather
than the farmer get the biggest profit
from the sale Of farm products. This
is shown 10y the fact that soon nearly
so per cent of the farms of our
country will be mortgaged or merely
occupied on lease b.. the soils cultl-
Vators.
Where the Farmer Lost out.
Right here in Rome long while
aeo we had n striking example of
what poverty means to the farmer.
In the time Of Emperor Tiberius
Gracious. Rome began to buy her
food from Africa instead of encourag-
ing her farmers. The land rapidly
passed them from the hands of the
cultivator of the soil to other owner
ship, and the small farmers ruin en-
tailed Of the nation
america won't solve its high cost
OF food problem by putting the specu-
lators in jail. We must make it inn
possible for the SPECTATOR to operate
by strengthening the farmer. The
Germans saw this many years ago.
and they worked out a welfare for
the farmer and thereby for the ma
tion, which resulted in placing Sc per
cent of the farms in the hands OF the
cultiVator.
THE key to the plan of the Ger
mans, known as the Landwrthschat-
trat, Is that of keeping the farmer
informed regarding the needs of the
cities. of the market, so that his dis
trbution system Is good, so that he
knows what his products are worth,
so that he knows how to SELL and so
that he knows how to plant his crops.
"All of Germany is divided by prov
inces, and each province Is kept In

ing troop movements.
Considerable objection to the con-
stabulary idea was overcome IN the
house when administration Democrats
supported the insurgents in their
demand that only on the written au-
thority of the governor shall the police
forces assume military authority.
The state patrol guard is to consist
of 700 men, who will be paid $50 a
month and generally observe military
regulations. They are to replace the
guardsmen modified into federal
service who have been guarding
bridges, roads and utility plants. Pro-
vision for the creation of this arm of
the commonwealth was effected in the
passage of the Kluge bill, senate bill
No. 25.
The deadlock on the constabulary
measure was broken thru the efforts of
the conferees, Senators Siewers Finch
er and David Elliot and Representa-
tives Carl l.. Marold, Charles t. Lin
ton and Thomas Mishou.
The amended measure passed the
senate by a vote of % to 10. Oppos-
ing the bill were Senators Andrew,
Coltman, DeBusk, Dunklee, Dunlap,
Hetherington, kluge, Means, Riddle
and Schermerhorn. Senators Hamilton
and West were absent.
In the house the final vote stood 40
in favor to II against. Opposing the
bill were Representatives Canon, Col
gate. Foster. Friend, Frisbey, Furrow.
Gallegos. Heartz, Kramer, Laube, Lu-
cero. Meyer, Owen, Proske, Rodgers,

In each branch sufficient votes were
mustered TO apply the emergency
