LIABILITY FOR AGENTS ACTS
sibility Before Deleaatine Powers,
Says Arthur Train.

Most men think they can get along
without Il lawyer. Arthur Train, the
famous author and lawyer. shows in an
article in the American Magazine how
foolish this belief is. He says:
"The most dangerous practice of or
dinary business. or even of ordinary
domestic life, is the employment of an
agent or servant without first ascer-
tanning how far You can be made liable
for contracts or purchases which he
may make. Suppose that you have
allowed your hired man to buy a lawn
mower and grass seed at the corner
store, that the storekeeper has called
you up on the telephone, and that you
have told him that the order was all
right. At the end of the month you
may perhaps receive Il bill for all sorts
of implements ana supplies which you
have never received. Are you liable?
Many things which you absolutely for
bid your agent to do may yet be with
in what the law calls the apparent
scope of his authority.
''In plain language this simply means
that, when you employ another to act
for you, you are bound by his acts and
agreements so long as they are such
as reasonable man, In view Of the
general nature of his employment,
would assume from all the circum-
stances to be authorized. Obviously,

Too Busy to Help.

tion taken by them at their regular
monthly meeting held in this city
during last week, in the matter
making an appropriation for Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent, who will also
perform the duties of a County Pest
Inspector.
We are informed that the services
of an Agricultural expert will be se-
cured at the earliest possible date.
We are glad to note this action taken
by the commissioners. and believe tAat
they will have the coopration seSs
large majority Of the citizens Of tn
county in this progressive step, which
means much towards the further de-
velopment of this fertile section.
Now that a County Agricultural
Agent and Pest Inspector is assured
for Sedgwick county, we believe that
it behooves the citizens of the coun-
ty to give their hearty cooperation,
that the best results possible may be
obtained, as there should be many ben
efits derived. We have no doubt but
what it will prove to be very good
investment for our county, individual
ly and collectively for our citizens

By the President of the United States of America:
1t has long been the honered custom Of our people
to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise
and Thanksgiving to Almighty God for His many
blessings and merces to nation. That
tom we can follow in the midst of the trag
edy Of world shaken by war and immeasurable dis
aster in the midst of and great peril because
amidst of the darkness that has gathered about
US, the great blessings God has bestowed
upon u.s. blessings that better than peace of
mind and prosperity of enterprise.
We have been given the opportunity to serve man.
kind once served ourselves in the great day of
Declaration of Independence by taking up arms
against tyranny that threatened to master and de-
base men everywhere and joining with other free peo-
pie in demanding for all the nations of the world
what then demanded and obtained for ourselves.
In this day of the revelation of duty not only to
defend rights nation but to defend also
the rights of free throughout the world, there
has been vouchsafed in full and inspiring measure
the resolution and spirit of united action.
We have been brought to mind and purpose.
new vigor of common counsel and common action
has been revealed in u.s. We should especially thank
God that in such circumstances in the midst of the
greatest enterprise the spirits of have entered
upon, we have if we but observe a reasonable and
practicable economy, abundance with which to supply

this county, and should receive the
hearty cooperation of all our citizens.
There is no question as to the extra
ordinary value Of the war work, as
carried on by the Y. M. C. A. in the
army camps. incidentally it has a
religious aspect but specifically it is
a matter of comfort, service and NOR
ais. Nearly every letter the home
folks receive from our soldier boys in
cantonment camps has more or less
to say about the splendid work of the
Y. N. C. A.-they are loud in their
praise Of the many comforts provided
for this organization.
A meeting of the executive com.
of the Sedgwick county campaign or
ganization was held at Sedgwick last
Sunday afternoon at the Methodist
church, at which all the officers and
members were present except three.
There were a number of others who
were also interested in the work pre-
sent ut this meeting. Messrs. w. M.
Labaree and C. NJ. Robson gave short
talks on the work outlined At the Stsrl-
ing meeting held last week. Follow
ing this = general discussion was had.
This discussion resulted in a plan to
divide the county into six divisions,
and the amount to be raised apportion-
Cd to the different sections, but this
amount was based on total of $1,000.
instead of $4,000 As asked by the
state committee. The committeeman
in each division seemed very optimis-
tic in the matter. and gave the assur-
ance that they would come up at the
end of the campaign with more than
was apportioned to them.
The campaign is now on and will
close Monday night, Nov. 10. All
pledges must be in the hands of the
committee by that time. Over fifty
Sedgwick county boys are already in
the Army and Navy, and many more
will 60 soon. Our boys have been

the needs of those associated with well
own. A light shines about U.s. The great duties
of day awaken and greater national spirit in
US. We shall never again be divided wonder wha;
stuff we made of.
And while we render thanks for these things let
pray Almighty God that in all humbleness of spirit
may look always to Him for guidance; that
may be kept constant in the spirit and purpose of
vice; that by His grace minds may be directed
and our hands strengthened; and that in His good
time liberty and security and peace and the comrade
ship of common justice may be vouchsafed all the
nations of the earth.
Wherefore, /, Woodrow Wilson, president of the
United States of America do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twentyninth day of November next, day
of Thanksgiving and prayer and invite the people
throughout the land to upon that day from their
ordinary occupations and in their several homes and
places of worship to render thanks God the great
ruler of nations.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States be affixed
Done in the District ofCoumba this seventh day of
