RUSH SWAMPS R. RS
Penn. Lis Appeals to Public to Stay
Home for Holidays.

New York, Dec 24-The railroads
want you to stay home during the
holidays unless you have to travel for
business reasons.
The Pennsylvania railroad, in an adj
vertisement published here today I'M
der the heading IAN Appeal to the
Travelling Public" urgently requests
that "as an act of patriotism, pleasure
travel during the holiday period be
suspended and that railroad travel be
voluntarily restricted to necessary
trips on affairs of business"
The appeal points out that 10000
soldiers in various army camps,
granted Christmas leave, will be travel
ing during the holidays. In addition,
other troop movements must be con-
tinued and industrial workers engaged
in war work must be transported.
The Christmas rush out of New
York to the west and south was I'M
precedented today. was practically
impossible to obtain Pullman reserva-
tions. Unless the pleasure travel is
curtailed, conditions will be even
worse, officials said.

BILLY UPPERCUT HIM
Evangelist Sunday Uses Ring Lingo
Telling How 1t Happened.

New York, Dec. 24.-Billy Sunday
can draw upon the lingo of the prize
ring as well as that of the diamond
as proved by a message from him pub
lished here today describing his re-
cent battle in Atlanta with "a Ger
man sympathizer.
THE man had been up to the house
and tried to beat US up" the evange-
list declared. He lunged at me as 1
turned and I poked my right to his
stomach just over the belt. Then he
swung a haymaker and it looked like
a pile driver coming down over my
head ducked and aimed a left hook
at his jaw. This landed, but a little
too high and knocked my little finger
out of joint. He shot one across and
grazed the side of my face. Then 1
sent in an uppercut to his chin and
we clinched.'

CALL KAN. WOMAN
Prof. Elizabeth Sprague of x.
Q. Goes to Washington.
She Will Become Connected
With Food Administration.

Lawrence. Dec. 24.-Government
war work of various kinds, which al
ready has taken more than forty men
of the University of Kansas faculty,
reached out today and took a woman
from the faculty when Prof Elizabeth
Sprague. head of the department of
home economics, was called to Wash
ington by the national food admins
tration. Miss Sprague received orders
to report at once for three or four
months work in food conservation.
She will leave for Washington in the
morning.
Miss Sprague's work in making
practical the application of kitchen
science to the every day problems of
food conservation in the home has at
tracted much attention. Since the
war began much of the work in her
department has been with a view of
making her students more useful to
the nation at the present time. The
work done by students of the depart
ment in working out war breads,
soups that prevented waste and in
many other ways has been favorably
commented on at Washington. Last
summer the university sent out
samples of five kinds of war bread
that were recommended by the de-
partment of home economics.

Get OUT OF MUD
Twenty-Five Kansas Towns
Pave Their Streets.
1917 Has Been Record Breaker
in the State.
HAYS SPENDS $4,000
Competition Keen When Rivals
Start Improvements.
Six Towns Have Decided To
Pave in 1918.

War, liberty bonds and Red Cross
campaigns, scarcity of labor and soar
ing prices to the contrary. Kansas
towns continue to pull themselves out
of the mud.
Kansas now has seventy-three towns
with hard surfaced streets. a gain OF
twelve over last year, the greatest
gain ever recorded in an annual COM
pilation.
The twelve honor towns are A. Az
gusta, population ATS; Pratt, 4,35S;
Hays, 1868; Baxter Springs, 2,379;
Hoisington, 1852; Lindsborg. 2.2O7;
Osborne. 1869; Downs, 1866; Man
kato, 1.14S; Solomon. 1913; Canton,
$50, and Gypsum. $50 population
Augusta, which has trebled its pop
ulation since the discovery of the But
Ter county oil field, paved nine miles
of street with brick last year and has
three more under contract. Pratt,
which had been the largest town in
Kansas without paving, laid three
miles OF brick last summer.
Hays Spends $1S3,OOO.
Baxter Springs, which mas more
than doubled in size since the opening
of the Pitcher lead and zinc field, has
awarded contracts for paving three
miles. Hays spent $183,000 on brick
paving this year. Hoisington expend-
ed $15O,000 and Lindsborg $4,000
fourteen blocks at a cost of 100000.
Downs put five blocks in its business
district as an experiment. Mankato
laid fifteen blocks of brick and will
lay more next year. Solomon has let
contracts amounting to $4,000 Gyp-
sum has voted $4,000 and Canton
$4,000 for concrete paving
The two latter towns each have
fewer than one thousand persons, and
Join Tonganoxie. Glasco and Hope in
the select class of villages with i'm
proved streets. Hope, with a popu-
lation of 55S. continues the smallest
community in the state with paving.
Its example had much to do with the
decision of Canton, Gypsum, iLinds-
borg and Solomon, its neighbors
Competition Keen.
A map of Kansas, with a dot for
each town with paving; would show
the powerful influence of this prox-
unity of good streets. The map would
show a spotty condition, large districts
blank and many dots crowded into
smaller areas. When one town has
pioneered, competition, communal
pride and the visible evidence of the
advantages of good streets has forced
its rivals to follow suit In several
cases a secondary town in a county has
paved first, and Immediately forced
the county seat and other large com
munitieS into line.
Six towns have already decided to
pave in 1918. They are Valley Falls,
wilson, Ellsworth, Norton, Humboldt
and Towanda. The largest of these is
Humboldt, population 2,334.
The ten largest towns without paw
ing are, in the order named, Liberal,
Garden City. Frontenac, Anthony,
Bellevfile, Kingman, Humboldt, Os-
weSo, Burlington and Yates-Center
The first three have more than three
thousand persons. Liberal and Garden
City are in far western Kansas and
Frontenac is a mining camp, subject
to sudden depressions and with an
overwhelming foreign, renting popula-
ton.

PLAN GARDENS NOW
Pittsburg Professor Says Do Not Wait
Until Planting Time.

Pittsburg. Kan, Dec. 24.-Do your
garden planning early! In fact. do
your garden planning now.
The wise person who expects t.
make every inch of soil yield its best
next summer will follow this course
according to Prof. B. w. Scheib of
the State Manual Training Normal.
Those who expect to have gardens
next summer to help win the war
should be at work on their plans and
specifications right now" Professor
Scheib says. First they should de-
termine just how much land they are
going to devote to a garden. Then
they should figure how to use every
bit of that land so that there will be
no waste.
1.-THE selection of seed should be
started. Only tested seeds should be
purchased. No chances should be
taken of losing both time and the use
of land next summer.
mapped out completely this winter
and then the plans followed. 1t will
be found that it paid to expend the
necessary thought"
