THEY RESENT IT
Topeka Boys at DOniphan DOn't
Like Anti-SmOke Move.
l.. G.. Rain Tells of Conditions
at Fort Sill.

L. c. Rain, a Topeka shirt manu-
facturer, is home after a weeks visit
at Camp Doniphan with good time
and a new name to his credit. 1t isn't
Loui Rain of Camp Doniphan. It's
Majoe Shirts.
Army life with the kAiser's big
Berthas thousands of miles away is
RAINS idea of a healthy, wholesome
time. From the reports he brings to
spirits, they enjoy the life, too.
Rain saw nearly every Topeka boy
at the Oklahoma camp. Every one
has gained from ten to twenty pounds.
And why shouldn't they? The bill
of-fare in Maj. Seth HammePs field
hospital last Sunday was brought to
Topeka by Rain and it makes the
mouth of a salaried man water at the
tail end of month. The menu fol-
lows:
Potatoes and Gravy. Cranberry Sauce
Two kinds of Bread.
Pumpkin Pie Coffee
Rain reports that the men at Fort
Sill bitterly resent the anti-tobacco
crusade started among people who
aren't doing any fighting. A cigar
cite or a pipe is their only enjoyment
during the long, wearisome hours of
drill. The anti-tobacco propaganda
disgusts them and is arousing no end
of resentment among grown men, who
feel that they are capable of taking
care of themselves, so Rain says.
Football There.
Football that would make a prize
fighter vince is played at the Okla
homa camp. Rain says he never saw
such football games in his life. He
met nearly all the Topeka boys in the
13Oth field artillery and the 129th in
fantry, and radio company.
Sheet music is coveted almost az
much as the Topeka girls at home
among the band men, Rain says. The
musicians have an ambition to play
but have little music with which tc
practice.

try show, December II, IL, IL ana

ter with Topeka?

division at Nish was sent to guell it
When this failed. two Bulgar divisions
were sent against the increasing ranks

Used Women as Screen.
This gave the Bulgars the oppor-
tuntty to perpetrate q new infamy.
Sending their troops against the wom-

number of the wives, mothers and

Then these wives and mothers were
formed in ranks: placed ahead of the

Dy using the women as screens, and
by resort to the most extreme cruelty
that the revolt was finally put down.
In one case. the writer of the letter
gives details of seeing a Serbian peas
ant hung up by the tongue"
The minister spoke of the increas-
ing needs of these Serbian peasants

a lesser sacrifice. Sugar. as well as
powder and iron, is a military neces-
sity.
Greatly increased production of
food stuff in 1918 will be necessary
to meet the demand. That fact seems
to have soaked in pretty well. Cor
porations and individuals are prepar-
ing to do their best. The Santa Fe
railroad, for instance, has practically

ton in an effort to carry out Mr..
Hoover's ideas of producing more and
better things to eat. A dairy campaign
will be carried OF by the company in
the Arkansas valley of Colorado two
weeks in December, similar to the
one in Kansas last spring, to be fol-
lowed by bean campaign in New
Mexico. Then will come more cam
paign work in other states-all with
the view of stimulating production.
Following a suggestion of Mr..
Hoover, the Santa Fe also will under
take to bring about a better distribu-
ton of products to the consumers
through improved marketing, espec-
tally of perishable products. No more
food will be permitted to rot in one
locality for want of buyers when peo-
pie are crying for it in other locali-
tails of the plan still are in the max

For nearly sixteen years General
Huffman has been active in shaping
Kansas legislation. He is at this time
the veteran of the state senate and is
now serving his fourth consecutive
year term as a senator from the Tenth
senatorial district. He is at present
president pro tenn of the upper house
and during the sessions of 1909-11
served as chairman of the important
ways and means committee.
AS an evidence of General Huff
mans prominence and following in
his home country, he was reelected to
his fourth term without opposition
either in the primaries or general
election. Not only did his own party
return him to place on the ticket
without contest, but he experienced
the novel sensation of being re-elect-
ed without opposition by the Demo-
Gratis.
In addition to his unusual record as
law maker, General Huffman has
been prominent for a number of
years in military and medical circles.
He was member of the late Brig.
Gen. Frederick Funston's Fighting
Twentieth Kansas" and served in the
Spanish American war with the rank
of captain. He was mustered out of
service with his regiment and in re-
cent years had been prominent in
state national guard affairs.
Directs State Work
| When Charles l. Martin was called
! into federal service in the present war,
| Governor Capper promptly named
General Huffman to serve the unex-
PRED term. In a few weeks General
/ Huffman has taken over the heavy
and complicated work of the state
department and is now directing the
work in manner that indicates abiI-
| ity for organization and executive
detail.
In his home town, Columbus. Cen
eral Huffman was for a number of
years an active physician. He estab-
lished large practice and has been
prominent in the work of his profess
sion in the state. He is at present
president of the Kansas Medical So
city. the official organization Of the
Kansas medical profession. Prior to
his election as president of the state
! society, General Huffman was for
twelve years secretary of the society.
Few men in Kansas have been more
active in political, professional and
military life than General Huffman
Thru his years of energetic service
he has established a statewide ac-
quaintance In the legislature. Cen
eTal Huffman was never spectacular
Even in the happy days when spectac-
ular politics was popular fad, the
Cherokee county member sought the
quiet places, rather than the spot
| light. Yet he possesses a grasp of
legislative detail and a knowledge of
conditions and needs of state institu-
tions and departments held by few
men in the state. His careful study
and grasp of conditions have for years
made him one of the most valuab BILE
men in the state legislature and sew
eral hundred passing lawmakers who
have made the pilgrimage to Topeka
and home again in the last fifteen
years. carry a sincere admiration and
respect for the man who desires to
WELD the gavel over the body of which
he is now the pioneer member.
