FISHING SEASON OVER
City Lakes Will Ee Closed to All
Anglers After Tonight.

The fishing season will be over to-
night-or at least it will be provided
that no hopeful anglers break the
Sabbath. According to w. L. Porter,
commissioner, the season closes Octo-
Der I. Monday. and the lakes in the
public parks will be closed for the
winter
The two north lakes at Gage park,
which furnished much pleasure as
they did cussedness, will be officially
closed Sunday night. No persons will
be allowed to hang their hooks from
borrowed lines into the lakes of the
city's park. The same rule will apply
to every public lake of the city. But
then it's too cold to fish anyway

BOYS FORGOTTEN?
Kansas Has Failed To Provide
Little Comforts for Soldiers.
This Is Assertion Made by Col.
f. l.. Travis.

While other states have fastened to
supply their military organizations
with sweaters. wristlets and other es-
sentials, Kansas has merely talked
patriotism according to Frank L.
Travis lieutenant colonel in charge of
the Kansas ammunition train at Camp
Albert L. Mills, Hampstead, Long Is
land, \. Y. The ammunition train is
practically without the volunteer
encamped at Camp Mills are well pro-
vided by the necessities supplied by
volunteer home workers.
The ammunition train of 1000 men
spent several weeks in Topeka 1t is
one of the largest individual army
Travis writes to Kansas announcing
that the state has failed to provide the
little essentials which mean so much
to the men at the front and which
cannot be provided from the open
market In a letter to Charles F.
scott. of lola. Colonel Travis tells of
the strong Kansas unit, its morale and
its needs. In part he says:
Travis's Letter.
We are practically outfitted with
everything which comes from the gov
eminent. but there are a few things
which will add to the comfort of the
men which the government does not
v, namely
knitted helmets and wristlets.
There is no source from which we
can get these things except to buy
them or have them made for us by the
people back home. Nearly every or
ganizat ton from the twenty-siX states
which comprise this division have
been supplied by their home people
with these most essential and neces-
sary articles and l am writing you
for the purpose of asking you to get
our needs in this line before the peo-
pie of the state OF Kansas that we too
may be supplied with these articles.
1t does not seem possible that such
a great state as Kansas, containing the
most patriotic people in the United
States, would willingly overlook doing
anything which would add to the com
fort of the men who are the first rep
resentatives of this great state on the
far flung battle line"
Cost Mere Trifle.
The furnishing of these articles and
the cost of them is a mere drop in the
bucket compared to the comfort they
will afford the men who receive them.
This organization has the most ardu-
GUS and dangerous duties to perform
of any organization except the men in
the trenches and in some respects our
duties are more dangerous and more
arduous than being in the trenches,
because it is our duty TO bring the am
muaition for the small arms and the
artillery forward to the battle line and
this without the protection afforded
the men in the trenches. This duty
each and every one of US will perform
to the best of our ability and just as
long as we are spared to do il and
while We are doing it We would like to
