ALLY CHIEFS HERE
TO OFFER HELP

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-what
the Allies wEnt from the United
States more than anything else Is
food This fact emerged above all
others from the trappinss OF dipIo-
matte courtesy attending the initial
reception here today OF Foreign
Secretary Arthur J. Balfour and the
british commission by President
Wilson and other American oficials.
While the day was apparently Civ
en- over principally 10 surface cour-
tesies and diplomatic greetings. the
various experts OF both England and
America plunged at once into the
consideration OF the vital problems
OF shipping. munitions. finance. mill
tary and naval affairs the confront.
ing the Allies since the United
States has declared Itself In.
There is no immediate concern
regarding the sending Of troops TO
Europe" It was officially stated.
Balfour conferred with President
Wilson. President Cuniiffe OF the
Bank OF England conferred with
Treasury Secretary McAdoo.
Naval experts Of both nations met
with Secretary Daniels.
Military experts talked with Sec
retary Baker.
Shipping and trade advisers with
their corps OF statistical and market
experts got down 20 details imme-
diately with Commerce department
officials.
II was a pooling Of Britain's bitter
war experiences with America
wealth and resourcefulness. But II
was made clear by a high oficial
Of the commission that the thought
uppermost In the minds OF the Brit
ish representatives is:
The Allies must have food"
Il wish 10 Hake Il plain" said
this spokesman, that We are not
here 20 tell you what you must Do
we have our own ideas as TO
how you can best help; but we come
equipped with facts, 10 tell you what
mistakes we made and how you can
avoid them: what price IA paid for

the price is worth paying 20 accom-
plish those things yourself The
Allies greatest problems-and the
one which you can best aid our Al

Please remember that there is no
British food problem, no French
food problem, nor italian nor Rus
sian food problem. II Is all one
great question. At a recent Allied
conference the Allied governments
agreed 10 pool their food supplies.
While England Is not short OF
food, and probably could get along
n she had only herself to consider.
all is not well with France and Italy.
Their food shortage is acute. II is
growing more so"

A Stitch IN Time.


To the Editor:
swat the fly" viii soon be the slo-
gan, and everyone will have swatters
IN their hands watching for the in
fernaI pests to come enar that they
may get a whack at them Every
one will be- going to the grocers for
tanglefoot, to the druggists for fly
poison and to the hardware dealers
for swatters, traps and screens, then
all of the fiys that see you up town
viii run over themselves" to get
home and get IN before you get the
screens up.
The old adage: GA stitch in time
saves nine," Is more applicable in
the exterminating of flies than most
anything else you can mention. More
can be done now to exterminate them
by destroying their breeding places,
than can be done IN a few weeks
with all of the swatters, ttanglefoot,
poison, traps and screens you can
get when they begin to pour forth
from all of the old piles of waste and
rubbish by the millions. If every
one would burn and destroy all trash,
waste and filth that would be a har-
Dor for flies now, and keep all barns,
chicken houses and other out build
ings (including pig pens) sprayed to
keep the flies away from them, then
watch for and kill the first fly, that
makes his appearance and keep on
killing each fly we mould not be an
noyed with them in the summer.
Remmeber that one fly today, will
multiply millions in a very few days.

Hays Beauty Spots"

Hays Beauty Spots"
With the coming warm weather
the Hays Beauty Spots" are becom-
ing even more beautiful and attrac-
tive.
People cleaning up their premises,
dump all their old trash in these plac-
es, from ashes and tin cans to dead
chickens, dogs and other filthy rub
bish.
The old cellar hole on the corner
of Chestnut and Juniata Streets is
especially attractive, with its new
dress of old straw and ashes. The
trimmings are the finest of tin cans,
bottles, old broken boxes and all sorts
of other trash.
Strangers. visiting our city are al
ways attracted by the unsurpassed
beauty of these places, and especially
the sweet oder arising from the de-
cayed substances deposited there.
Two of these flower gardens are in
the heart of our business section, one
just south of the postoffice and the
other on the corner of Chestnut and
Juniata Streets.
They are a scar on the record of
the city, not merely a scratch that
can be covered over and smoothed up
when we are expecting company, but
an ugly scar, that is forever a tell
tale mark of untidyness.
These unsightly places have been a
recepticle for all the rubbish around
the neighborhood where they are To-
Gated for a number of years.
Now is the time to- have them fill
ed up, before warm weather sets in,
which viii bring another pest in the
way of obnoxious weeds and vegeta-
ton, as well as a breeding place fol
flies and disease germs
