Loans to Farmers Fer Increased Acreage.

AUGUSTA, Me- April 26. AS the result of a
confer ence today of the Food Conservation
Committee with the General Committee of
Public Safety, regarding loans to farmers, it
was decided that the money loaned should be
entirely for increased acreage; that it should
not exceed 5000; that it be made at 43 percent
and that requests only be granted after in
vestigation as to both the financial and exc
cutive ability of the person desiring the loan;
the request should be passed upon favorably
by the town and county committees of public
safety.
1t was said that about 100000 would be
available for this purpose, deposited in banks
recommended by the State Treasurer. John
Percy Deering, State Senator from York
County, said that 100000 could be used to
advantage by the farmers of his county.

The tentative program, arranged by members
of the Congregational church for the entertain

WHAT DO WITH RHEIMS
May Leave 1t Wrecked as Monument
to German Barbarism.

Paris, Sept 7.-Suggestions are be-
ing publicly advanced as to the des-
tiny of Rheims cathedral. Discussion
centerS on whether it should be re-
stored as cathedral, transformed into
some sort of a national memorial
dedicated to those who have lost their
lives in the war, or left as a monu-
ment to Teutonic barbarism. The
question cannot be definitely decided
perhaps until the German guns have
been driven from Fort Brimont and
the final condition of the historic
fame, after SO many months of bonn
bardment, can be ascertained.
Meanwhile Cardinal Lucon, arch
bishop of Rheims, who has remained
beside his beloved cathedral thruout
the bombardment, is firmly deter
mined that Rheims shall always have
it's temple. I'VE shall repair the ca
thedral," he has said TT must be so.
We have casts of it's statues and col
ored photographs of its glass. Our
architect, at risk of his life, is work
ing under the damaged arches to save
what can be saved.
Must Hold Service There.
The day will come when the doors
will again be opened for religious
services, for 1 hold fast to one thing
above all, that the cathedral where the
first Christian king of France was
church of France.
Il protest with all my energy, and
I shall never cease protesting against
any project that seeks to make
Rheims cathedral into some kind of
a museum or metropolis. Those who
have such ideas do not consider what
Rheims is for the church, for France
and for the whole world. All such
proposals are impossible.
With one suggestion only, that
has been made, can 1 associate my
self with all my heart. Let there be,
every year, a solemn celebration in
the cathedral which has suffered SO
from German rage, in memory OF
those who have died for the safety OF
the country and the freedom of the
world The whole Catholic world
would join to found such a perpetual
mass, and l hope that God will spare
me to celebrate it myself for the
first time

ON COURSE EARLY
Golf Tournament Players Bat
tie for Survival Today.
Thursdays Results Show Many
Surprises and Upsets.

When play stops tonight in the
tenth annual tournament of the Kan
sas Golf association everything will be
over except the finalsof the champ
ionship and consolation flights and the
mixed Scotch foursome. all of which
will be completed early tomorrow aft
ernoon Several of the players who
had already lost all chance at laurels
left the city today and more are ex-
pected to go tonight, but the majority
of good sports will remain over to see
the big play tomorrow.
Altho the dope was liable to be up
set at any minute today, the opinion
of the majority was that George Gano
of Hutchinson, and Arthur Bonebrake
of the Shawnee club of this city. would
meet in the finals for the state title
The matches played this morning
were: Third round championship
flight, second round consolation flight,
semi-final rounds presidents, dfrec-
tors and Waterloo flights. This aft
ernooh's card called for: Semi-final
round championship flight, semi-final
round consolation flight and the finals
in the presidents. secretarys d1rec-
tors and Waterloo flights. Also the
Red Cross flight was to be wound up
Inis afternoon.
Play Early Today.
Many players were out on the
course this morning before O'Clock
and when Beau" Olcott and Bone
brake began the third round of the
championship battle a large gallery
was on hand to follow them.
Thursdays play was mediocre In
many respects and remarkable IN
others. The match between G. C.
Carl and George Gano was one of the
most spectacular of the day, Carl fore
ing Gano to the 81 hole before being
downed. Both men said it was the
hardest match they ever participated
in. In the afternoon the elimination
of lief Felix by John Eberhardt in a
23-hole match was the talk of the
course. At the end of their first nine
holes Felix and Eberhardt were even
and at the eighteenth they were the
same. Felix. however, was off form
in his putting and was finally con-
quered by the Salina man.
This morning only three Topeka
players were remaining in the champ
ionship flight. They were Bonebrake,
NJ. Y. Kistler and H. L. Armstrong.

JUMP BIC FACTOR
Getting Good Start Counts
Much in Pennant Race.
Wise Manager Figures Import
ance of Every Game.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Sept. 6.-The import
ance Of getting the jump in the early
stages of a pennant race was never
brought out more strongly than it has
been in the major leagues this sea-
son.
A welI-known writer of baseball re-
Gently said that in his opinion the
best team in the American League
will not be the pennant wirner this
year. He pointed out that the driv-
ing power of the Detroit Tigers, in
August, was greater than that Of,
either the Boston or Chicago teams.
and that the punch of the Cincinnati
Reds and st. Louis Cardinals, late in
the race, was at least the equal of
the Giants.
Suppose that Hughie jennings had
started off in the race in the Junior
major circuit with well-balanced
pitching. What would have been the
result?
Lost at the Start.
If the playing of the Detroit CLUB
in August can be taken as a cue, the
Tigers might have been a mathemat-
ical cinch for the rag by the first of
September. Much the same may be
said of the Cleveland Indians. Lee
FohIs team has been hard to beat all
year, but because it failed to present
a well-balanced attack from the start
it's mid-season successes ayailed moth
ing in the way of making it a PEN
nant contender, tho Cleveland is as
sured of a finish among the leaders.
The Giants, on paper, are the class
OF their league, and on the field of
play they have proven it once again.
But suppose the men of McGraw had
wavered in the early stages of the
race while the Reds, Cardinals or
Phillies were acting as pace-makers
in the matter of piling up percentage
Would the Giants be where they
stand today? The chances are
against it.
Glass Will Tell.
OF course, class will tell, but class
doesn't always win out, and the open
ing game counts just as heavily as
any other game on the schedule when
the time comes for a final summing
up in the percentage column. Ask the
average baseball manager who he is
going to pitch tomorrow and he will
probably tell you that he has a ball
game to win today. 1t is today's
game he must win if he can, and altho
never loses sight of the Importance
of every game, and every serits It's
the early bird that gets the worm,
and the jump in a pennant race means
much to the club that gets it.
With due respect to the Giants,
White Sox and Red Sox-three great
ball clubs-it seems only fair to say
that on late season showings there are
other fish in the big league pond who
look just as strong, and who would
probably stack up on a par in a
worlds series with any of the teams
named.
