It is beyond human power at this
time to forecast the result of the
present trouble with Germany. The
ultimatum has been issued and it is
now up to Germany as to the out
come. This country, thru its presi-
dent, has dealt leniently with Ger
many in the past, and used every en-
deavOr to prevent a conflict, but the
time finally arrived when patience
ceased to be virtue and Germany's
defiance caused diplomatic relations
to be severed. 1t is the general i'm
preston that war with Germany will
eventually come, but it is also ad-
mitted that it will not be precipitated
hastily. Every act on the part of
Germany is being closely scrutinized,
and no action will be taken without
mature deliberation. 1t is but the
work of an hour to make declara-
tion of war-a comparatively small
matter-but the rsult of such dec
laration will mean untold misery,
death and expense, regardless of the
outcome. 1t is doubtful If there is a
man, woman or child in all this broad
land who for a moment harbors a
thought but that should war be de-
clared the United States would be
victorious, but the terrible cost Of
victory they also know. However,
should Germany willfully precipitate
this country in the strife President
Wilson has the country back of him.
Political differences are a thing of the
past the minute war comes and ev-
cry citizen of the United States will
stand ready and willing to make
whatever sacrifices are necessary. In
the meantime preparations for the
possible conflict are being rushed,
and If we must fight we will not only
be willing but ready

Garden City, Kan, Feb. 16.-About
two weeks ago a man giving the
name of Johnson, and claiming that
he was a resident of the sandhills
south of this place, appeared at vari-
Gus homes and tried to get several
school girls to accompany him away.
He succeeded in getting the parents
of Susie Martinez to consent to allow
their daughter to go away with him.
She has never returned.
The man claimed that his wife was
sick and that he needed school girl
to assist in the household duties. 1t
is said that Mr.. and Mrs. Joe Mar
tinez, parents of the missing girl, are
in poor circumstances. Because the
stranger promised to pay the girl we'll
for her work. they consented to allow
their daughter to leave home.
After waiting for a week for their
little girl to return to their home, the
parents became worried. They spent
four days driving over the country
where the man claimed that he resid-
ed, but none of the residents of that
district knew of man answering the
description of the stranger. 1t was
then that they notified the authori-
ties. Sheriff OIL Brown searched the
hills.

URGE TEACHING OF THRIFT

The teaching of thrift was urged
as new task for the public schools
by L. w. Mayberry superintendent Of
the Wichita city schools and former
president of the Kansas State Teach
ers Association, in an address to the
Southeastern Kansas Teachers Asso-
ciation here this afternoon.
There never was time in the his
tory of our country when the neees-
ity for thrift was of such crying in
tensity," he declared. while our
country is prosperous, 1t is mainly the
prosperity of a nation. Individually
we are not prosperous. We have a
nation wealth of $4,000 for every
family, but how many families pos
sess that amount? We have a ma
tional income equal to $1,750 for ev-
cry family, but the average family in
come is less than $1,000.
"The period of nations suddenly
acquired wealth is the beginning Of
its deterioration and decay. Ex-
travagant, prodigal nations, even if
civilized, large and rich, have ever
been the prey of strong, sturdy, fru-
gal Ones"
Asking How shall we make this
nation thrifty" Superintendent May
berry suggested: "The nation of to-
morrow will be made up of the chill
dren of today. If the nation of to-
morrow is to be thrifty, the children
of today must be prepared. Thrift
does not mean that we are never to
crafty a superhuous want Saving is
postponed consumption rather than
non-consumption."

Since the call for the election to
vote bonds for the new railroad there
has been a general scramble to pick
up vacant town lots. 1t is admitted
that the coming of the road will cause
lot and property values to increase,
and those, who own lots are just
about as anxious to keep them as TO
sell. There is little doubt as TO the
building of the line and practically
every one shares this optimistic idea.

Boston, Mass, Feb. 16.-The Har-
ward Lampoon has discovered a way
to cut down the high prices of kiss
ing. Smacks can be had at 81 per,
if a formula evolved at Harvard is
followed. 1t is easier than rolling
off log. and much more pleasant, ac-
cording to late reports.
Here's the scenario, clipped from
the Harvard Lampoon:

then bet her dollar that you can
kiss her without touching her. (This
sounds impossible and will appeal to
her sporting blood.)
Next kiss her and pay, the dollar
