SPEECH BETRAYs DIsLoYALTY

1t is generally thought that the
immigrant who came to America poor,
oppressed, downtrodden as it were,
who is received with open arms and
makes his home in freedom and un-
der the security of this great coun-
try, amasses property and lives in
comfort such as is unknown in the
land from which he came will be loyal
in heart and. soul and action to the
land of his adoption. This should be
especially true of one who has taken
the oath of allegiance and foresworn
the land and government of his nativ-
ity.
What do you say of one who know
ing that the government has need of
food holds back, what he has to spare,
or destroys and wastes it that it may
be scarce? What would you say of the
man who piles up or hides away more
than the usual amount, more than he
normally would use? Do you call that
man a loyal American? Only a few
days ago when there was an apparent
scarcity of sugar one man was heard
in talking to another about it to say
s'Oh! they don't care what becomes
of US just as long as they feed those
id soldiers" Do you believe that
man is loyal at heart? The writer
hears and often at that 81 don't see
what this country got into it for, or
similar remarks.
AS well known and fair a paper as
the Youths Companion has this to
say. "The time has come when the
man who declares that he does not
see why this country is at war is a
traitor at heart" What then is the
man who deliberately decries an ac-
tion of the government though it may
require of him some little self denial
or even some hardship? When a man
comes among bunch of others and
opens up with "Well, you fellows
haven't whipped the Germans yet"
where would you place him, or which
side do you think he belongs upon?
And this occurred just after they be-
gan the drive on Italy as have all the
things mentioned here at home.
Citizens of the grandest, noblest
and fairest government that ever ex-
listed upon earth stand by it in words
and actions if you wish it successful
for the sake of humanity in the most
terrible of wars that has been thrust
upon us. Aid if you can in every way
those who have gone to give their
lives that, we, even those who decry
them, may live in freedom and in hap
piness.

TREGo COUNTY MADE GOOD

When. the total receipts for the
state apportionment for the national
Y. M. c. A. fund are counted it is go
ing to appear on the records that
Trego county made good, and more,
the portion allotted to its citizens as
their share of the fund which is to
be used to help make life more agree
able for the soldier boys who are
in France fighting the battles of the
nation.
Trego was assessed $3.50 while some
of the adjoining counties which are
just as wealthy, were assessed $500,
probably because it was known that
Trego would make good. The business
of raising the sum was taken in
charge by S. ]. Straw, E. A. Courtney
and c. NJ. Hutchison as principals, and
they deserve much credit for their
success in engineering the campaign
and bringing it to a successful close
with but one general meeting.
They arranged for the ladies of the
Eastern Star to serve dinner to one
hundred Trego county men at the
Masonic temple last Saturday even
ne nen came ana al eACelleUC
two-course dinner was served for
them. They were a representative
body from all parts of the county and
Collyer and Ogallah township were
especially well represented. Mr..
Homer Hoch, of Marion, Kansas, son
of Ex-Governor Hoch, was present
and very forcefully told the audience
of the work of the Y. III. C. A. among
the soldiers. He also emphasized the
fact that there is far more work to be
done for the moral and social good of
the boys while they are in France.
After he had finished his speech sub
scriptions cards were passed through
the audience and signed by the con-
tributors and when they were totaled
it was found the county was couple
hundred dollars short of the desired
goal. Then followed a campaign of
doubling and raising contributions
and taking collections which resulted
in soon securing pledges for the en-
tire amount. Since the meeting Sat
urday night the workers throughout
the county have solicited among their
friends and the goal has been passed
and the fund is still growing. The
$35, 100000 desired of the nation to
complete the fund will be easily secur-
ed if all the counties will contribute as
literally as Trego has done.

A SHOOTING SCRAPE

Last Sunday afternoon a number of
the Mexicans and negros who are en-
ployed on the new railroad shops here
were having a little celebration, it be-
ing supposed that some of them had
brought in some liquor, After the
celebration had worn off little and
some of the fellows became peevish a
quarrel arose between the different
factions and q colored man shot a
Mexican by the name of Jose Samora,
killing him instantly. After the shoot
ing the negro left town but was over
taken near Hogback by DR.. Kidd and
A. C. Geyer, who brought him back
to town and turned him over to Mar
shall Miller, who took him to Hays
where he is now in Jail awaiting trial.
The Mexicans of Ellis took up a
collection to defray the expenses of
the burial and the funeral was held
from the Catholic church Tuesday and
burial was made in the Catholic GEM
etery. The Mexican friends of the
dead man wish US to thank those who
assisted in the raising of funds for the
funeral-Ellis Headlight

There is a woman in this town who
has spells when she sees loose feath-
ers blowing around, or waste paper
blowing into the fence corners. She
thinks the neighbors should keep their
trash at home, or burn it up. How
ever, it is an ill wind that gathers
no moss. The last scrap of paper
that blew into this woman's yard was
just as good as cash in the bank and
well, that's different.
And glory be! There is woman in
this town who knows how to make
real chicken pie. Any old cook can
make the counterfeit but it takes an
artist to conjure up the kind that
mother used to make.
There are at least two men in this
town who haven't combed their hair
in the last six months.

revealed no resemblance to Mrs. de

The party was escorted to automo

and there was no doubt as to her anx-

ter. When asked for an interview she
hesitated and then turned to Mr.. Utter

Mrs. Errazuriz and her son were

while Miss Errazuriz went to Mrs. de

the family will reside for the pres

o'clock, and the mother lost no time
in complying with the few prison for

noted with pleasure and pointed out
four white doves settled on the coop

minutes there were sounds of sobbing.
