WRITES HYMN OF HATE
Bulgarian Poet Incites Soldiers to
Utmost Barbarism.

Washington, Nov. 10.-Publication
of a Bulgarian Hymn of Hate, tenn
ing with Indictment to cruelty and
atrocities, has aroused officials and
diplomats here and drawn from the
Bulgarian minister, stephen Panare-
toff, the declaration that the purport-
ed author Ivan Arnaudoff, described
as 1.-The Bulgarian Pindar," is of no
standing to bespeak the national SEN
timents of Bulgaria.
A literal translation of the poem
bristles with expressions and phrases
of revolving Indictment to the most
unspeakable cruelties to the men, wo-
men and children of enemy countries
overrun by Bulgarian troops.

FRANCIS CONFIRMS 1T
CabIegrnms from U. S. Ambassador
States Kerensky Govt Overthrow.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-Cablegrams
from Ambassador Francis in Petro-
grad, received at the state department
today, confirmed the overthrow of the
Kerensky government. One message,
dated November 7 and another the Sth
confirmed dispatches which told of
the arrest of cabinet members and
bombardment of the winter palace by
the cruiser Aurora.
Franciss message made no mention
of loss of life and said that Petrograd
had again become quiet. The only
information the state department had
today from RussiaSwas contained in
telegram which stated that all Amer
lean Red Cross workers in Russia are
well.
The department said that nothing
had so far developed upon which this
government can base any alteration
in its present policy toward Russia.
However, until a responsible new gov
eminent is established in Russia, the
United States will take no action, it
was said.

Topeka, has done much to popularize
and command the attendance at these
conventions-feel that the assistance
the Chamber of Commerce has given
the association in providing funds and
making possible attractive programs
has meant much toward the upbuild-
ing of this organization.
.sWhiIe stress has been laid upon
the mercenary benefits derived from
the convention by some of the ether
cities of the state, yet those working
for. this division can not make the
claim that the hospitality shown by
all the citizens of Topeka, In open
ing up their homes to these visitors,
has been made from mercenary
standpoint The citizens of Topeka
have enjoyed doing so.
Topeka people are interested in
educational advancement. The cltl-
zens of Topeka last year subscribed
100000 to the Washburn endoW-
ment FUND The agitation to have
Kansas teachers paid better salaries
started in Topeka.
I'VE have felt that by having the
office of state uperintendent OF pub
lie instruction here, as well as the
State Historical Society, and other
state offices, that it has been an in
ducement for the teachers to attend
this convention. Then, too, we have
felt that the teachers have enjoyed
the privilege of attending these con-
ventions and meeting their friends
from other parts of the state.
The Auditorium Problem.
There has been some criticism over
the failure of Topeka to provide a
new auditorium that would accom-
MEDIATE the delegates to a convention
of this size. 1t must be remembered
that the business men of Topeka, for
the last year, have been working on
war benefits and funds in behalf of
the government. Every day. the Of
fees of prominent Topekans are va
Gated because of the Systematized
campaigns for matters that go toward
a victorious completion of the war.

SMOOTH 1T OVER
Coalition Cabinet Step Towards
Political Reform.
Helfferich Steps Out-Liberals
Demand Franchise Bill.

Berlin, Nov. 9.-Dr. Karl Helfferich,
the vice chancellor, has capitulated
and political peace once more has
been restored. The cabinet containing
Count vons Hertling as chancellor,
Friedrich Won Payer as vice chancel-
Tor and Herr Friedberg as vice-presi-
dent of the Prussian ministry means
virtually coalition liberal govern
ment. The Clerical, National, Liberal
and Progressive parties are represent
ed actively in the cabinet. The Social
lists accept the appointment of Won
payer as evidence that Count Won
HertHng is willing to work with the
present group of reichstag majority
parties but they are reserving to
themselves complete liberty of action.
The conservatives are the only i'm
portant reichstag faction not having a
member in the new government which
may be said to mark the active in
itiation of the first parliamentary cab
met in Prussia and Germany
Chancellor Won Hertling returned
today to Munich where he will assist
in the reorganization of the Bavarian
ministry from which he retires. His
first public appearance as chancellor
is expected to take place when the
reichstag opens its next session on
November %.
The Liberals are now getting ready
to combat the reactionaries in their
efforts to obstruct the enactment of
the Prussian electoral refoBm bill
THESE measures are expected to be
ready for first reading at the end of
this month. The Clerica1s, National
Liberals, Progressives, Socialists and
Poles will constitute an ample major
ity for it in the lower chamber of the

UNIONS NOT FUSSING
Deny Enginemen's Brotherhoods Can't
Agree on Wage Demand.

Cleveland. Nov. 10.-There is no
foundation for reports that the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers are at logger
heads over an agreement that has
been in force since 1913, according
to W. S. Carter, president of the
former organization. The agreement
provides that the two organizations
cooperate in all matters affecting the
two bodies.
Mr.. Carter made this statement to-
day in connection with the conclusion
of a meeting of the general chairman
of the firemen's brotherhood, eastern
division, representing one hundred
railroads east of Chicago who have
been in session here since Tuesday
considering the question of requesting
increased wages.
The chairmen appointed a commit
tee of six to take up the wage ques-
ton and other matters at a confer
ence to be called in some centrally
located city, probably next month.
The southeastern and western division
of the firemen's brotherhood will be
asked to appoint similar committees
for the conference.

Chamber of Commerce on Wednes-
day evening, we realize that we are
haudica ped by Aot having an audit
orium large enough to house every
member of this Convention at one
time, but the business men feel that
they are safe in promising that as soon
as the war is over we will have an
auditorium equal to, if not better than,
any other one in the state of Kansas
A ten-story hotel is assured for the
city of Topeka in the very lear fu-
ture.
Topeka is proud of the fact that
right at this time she is mighty busy
ding her part toward providing funds
for this great war in which we are en-
gagged. Topeka is proud of the fact
that she over-subscribed the first Lib
erty Loan, over-su described her Red
Cross allotment, over-subscribed the
second Liberty Loan, and stands
ready to go on with this work as re-
quired by the government.
While we are naturally sorry to
see what seems to some to be the
starting of the breaking up of this
grand organization, yet we have every
respect for the opinion of the educa-
ii Onal advancement of this state and,
if in their judgment they deem it wise,
we are not here to criticize their ac-
ton, but to assure them that we stand
ready to help build up that section
which will come to Topeka, and we
hope to increase the attendance from
our district and make the member
ship in the Association mean more to
the teachers of our district.
I'VE want the officers of the Assoc
citation to know that there no spirit of
antagonism, but they will ever find a
spirit of cooperation from the Cham
Der of Commerce of the city of To-
peka. Fundamentally, we are for that
which will mean more to the educa-
ton of the children of this state, and
if more good can be accomplished by
splitting up the Association into dis
tricts, we are for that proposition, and
will give the same support to our
district that we have given to the
Association, as a whole"

Origin of Health Drinking.
 The custom of drinking the health of the most popular man at the tabls has it's foundation in the ancient pra'c. tice originated by the Greeks and adopted by the Romans of drinking to the gods and the dead, observes an exchange. The Greeks and Romans later began the practice of drinking to each other, and from this arose the custom of toasting living men. But health drinking in its modern form, originating in England in the royster' ing days of Charles II, begins with the custom oe drinking to the ladies or to any woman who happened to be the reigning belle of the court. Many and various were the quaint customs asso. ciated with the toasts of those days. For example, in certain companies of military officers etiquette demanded that the cup shoufd be passed from hand to hand. In many midnight gatherings of Alsatia, gallants stabbed themselves in the arms In order tc drink with their blood the health of the woman on whom their hearts were set.

Only the sea herring can equal the oyster in cash value as product of the sea. This is partly because they are so palatable and partly because they are so inexpensive. A pint can usually be purchased for 20 cents on the coasts and a nourishing stew Tor several persons can be made of pint of oysters. The North Atlantic ocean produces more oysters than are 70 pc found in the oyster beds of all other countries, but oyster farming IS a profitable industry In many lands.

Ask Your Banker.

Everyone should strive to have a
 bank account, especially every man and boy, be 1t ever so small. One loses nothing in the esteem of his employer
 and friends by being seer going into or coming out of a bank. Neither does the individual lose any self-re- spect by being seen at bank counter, which is more than can be said of some places. There are plenty of good banks; pick out one and stick to 1t i; and when you are tempted to invest in some alluring get-rich-quick scheme, go to your banker and ask his advice. It will not cost you anything to do this. and may save you loss you cannot afford. It may safely be assumed that if this course were pursued by al1 of us the money sunk in swindles, fake schemes and impossible enterprises would be reduced to point where it actually would not pay to make the at- tempt. Before investing, ask your banker.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.
