The large pile of dirt that was re-
moved from the basement of the new
building andfpiied on the south side
of the school campus has all been
removed this week by the Finn Paw
ing Co. A part of the pile on the
north side of the grounds was left
so the play ground may be leveled
with the west half. This will make
the play ground around the two
buildings for the grade pupils an
ideal place and greatly enlarged.
Beyond the line of trees separat-
ing the north and south halves, much
of the dirt was used to fill in the
east part of the football field. This
work will very much improve the
gridiron and be of much assistance
to the boys. The leveling of the
dirt has not all been completed but
1t will be but matter Of time till 1t
is finished.
Mr.. Finn rushed the work of re-
moving the dirt and the steam shovel
left the job yesterday noon. 1t took
his force but short time to take

BURDEN ON CONSUMER
He Is Always Big Factor in Price of
Necessities.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 10.-The
consumer has a vital part to play in
the making of prices. and he should
fully realize the full significance OF
prices. according to DR.. Theodore
Macklin. in charge of agricultural
economics in the Kansas agricultural
experiment station. To him rising
prices should mean that food products
are not sufficient in quantity to meet
his needs thruout the season.
Since it takes a whole season to in
crease supply, reasonable economy
should for the time being be practiced
in the buying and consuming of the
high priced products" advised Doctor
Macklin I'm the second place the
consumer should remember that the
supply was short and the prices high
probably because the former level of
prices did not give profit to a large
enough number of farmers. The con-
sumer's interest consequently is not
entirely conserved by the usual popu-
lar clamor for reduced prices. To re-
duce the prices is to reduce further
the profit which has already fallen to
a point so low that farmers have
ceased to produce the necessary sup
ply.
Good patriotism and success in war
measures depends in a large extent
upon a people patriotic enough to in
form themselves of the more funda-
mental economic laws and to incor-
porate the essential habits of thrift,
efficiency and economy, as dictated by
ever changing prices. into their daily
practice of buying, selling, consuming
and producing"

SPANISH TUNE A HIT
Sammies Swiped 1t From Mexicans

American Field Headquarters.
France, Oct 10.-A Mexican war
song with a genuine Spanish Tilt,
which our troops swiped from the
Mexicans during the Pershing expe-
dition, now seems to be the best bet
as the "Tipperary'' of the Sammies.
Sung in Spanish. the obscenity of
the words mean nothing to the ma
jority of the Sammies. so the tune
now floats thru the valleys during the
evening singing bees without Offend
ing anyone.
The tune is such a unanimous hit
with the camps that it would be worth
Irving Berlin's time to write Ameri-
can words to fit it-preferably some
thing about the kaiser.
Carrancista soldiers had a version
which they sang against the Villistas
and the Villistas came right back
with another version to fit the Car
rancistas. The tune is known to hun
dreds of veteran American regulars.

sas people will get coal all winter ana

Emerson Carey Hutchinson salt man
ufacturer and former coal merchant
who has been appointed fuel director
for the state. on his return from
Washington, D. C. He attended
conference of fuel directors of all the
states in the country held at Wash
il gton when they talked over plans
with DIR. Harry A. Garfield, national
fuel administrator.
The government has set prices
which the mine operators can charge
for coal and has limited the profit

Mr.. Carey TT will be the work of
the fuel director to see that no dealers
are charging more than the law al
lows and in case of shortage to secure
coal for the communities which need
il and do other work along this line
Everything is to be done along the
regular channels and an effort will be
made to work with the dealers and
mine operators rather than to force
them to do anything. However, the
government has set prices and issued
orders, and if they are not obeyed the
attorney general can be called upon
for assistance in prosecuting the vio-
lators."
Mr.. Carey said his first act would be
to name five advisers, men not con-
rected with the coal business in any
way. As soon as they are officially
approved by Doctor Garfield, he will
then appoint local committees. one for
every county in the state, and separate
committees for each town with a pop
ulation of over 5000 people.
Prices for coal in Kansas have been
set by the government as follows!
S2.55 per ton for mine run, $3.50 per
ton for prepared sizes such as lump
and nut and $3.50 per ton for screen
irgs or slack. Due to a complaint, the
order has been modified for the Usage
county operators and they will be al
! lowed to charge 81 per ton for lump
coal. The manner of determining

just profit will be on a basis of his
1915 gross margin, plus a reasonable
profit, 80 per cent to be the maxi
mum. In no case is the price to be
higher than the July l, 1917. mark,
which gives much latitude for price
