HOG CHOLERA MEET
Represents tives of Federal Bureau
Tell Shawnee Farmers of Conditions.

Representatives of the federal bu
reau of animal industry held meetings
in various towns of Shawnee county
this week and gave illustrated lectures
on hog cholera. These lectures were
we'll attended and those present asked
many questions concerning hog chol-
era and its prevention. The matter of
organizing a county Hog Cholera Con-
troll organization was discussed, and 1t
was decided that an organization of
this kind for Shawnee county was de-
sirable.
AS announced before, Live Stock
Sanitary Commissioner Mercer, DR..
Murphy of the bureau of animal in
dustry and Dean johnson of the Kan
sas State Agricultural college will
meet the farmers and hog men next
Monday afternoon, November 26, at
2 o'clock at the court house for the
purpose of forming county organ
liza ton. 1t is suggested that all who
can attend this meeting as the results
have been good in other counties
where these organizations have been
formed. This work will be free to the
county. as the expense of the work is
shared by the federal and state gov
ernmentS. A veterinarian will be
placed in charge of the county whose
duty it will be to make farm investi-
ga tions, free of charge advise the
farmer what to do, hold schoolhouse
m lettings and give outbreaks of hog
cholera publicity A county sanitarian
will be appointed whose duty it will be
to see that dead cholera hogs are
burned and to clean the farms after
an outbreak of cholera.
This is a matter that should inter
est every farmer in the county, as
there is considerable hog cholera in
the county, and there is no reason
why the - IS from cholera cannot

Thanksgiving Announcement Reviews
Work of Crittenton Institution.

A Thanksgiving announcement
concerning the Florence Crittenton
home calls attention to past accom-

home should be supported by the cit
liens of Topeka.
The announcement reads: Thanks

blessings as we'll as of the misfortunes
and needs eff others. The board of
managers of the Florence Crittenton
home, thru tn generosity of friends
of the work have made it possible to
provide a new furnace for the COM
fort of the women and babies in the
home. This will aid very much in re-
storing to health those who come to
u.s. The work of putting a new roof
on the entire building is now being
done. There is constant need of
supplies for the home, food for the
tables. bed supplies and clothing. The
laundry work is very heavy for those
who have little strength and we are
hoping that the offerings at this sea-
son will be sufficient to provide an
electric washing machine for their
use. AS you place your gifts to local

GOOD ROADS WORK
Review of Accomplishments of Kan
sas Association in Topeka.

The officers and directors of the
Kansas Good Roads association held
a business meeting in it's offices in
the Columbian building in this city
Friday to consider many matters of
interest and Importance to the big
statewide campaign that has been
made and is to be made for better
roads in Kansas.
The association has to its credit
practically all of the good roads laws
enacted by the 1917 legislature and
for the general sentiment and efforts
being made in over thirty counties
for hard surfaced roads, as well as "a
stronger sentiment than ever all over
the state for better maintenance of
the earth roads. The progress for
hard surfaced roads made after six
months of campaigning by the asso-
citation, with j. Frank Smith, as gen
eral manager, was reviewed and ev-
erybody was more than pleased with
the success of the work.
1t was decided to continue the cam
paign so well begun and since the
hard roads have become a necessity
as a war measure, the association de-
cided to cooperate with the Council
of National Defense in its efforts to
promote hard roads to enable the big
trucks to haul freight and thus re-
lieve the over-burdened railroads. 1t
was suggested that a good slogan
might be I'VE want good roads to win
the war" in as much as the war de-
partment is now ordering trucks to
move war supplies and local freight
over short hauls.

UP TWO MORE STORIES
Central National Bank Building to BE
Improved for Bell Tel. Co.

Officials of the Southwestern Bell
Telephone company have announced
that two stories will be added within
ninety days on the present 4-story Cen
trail National bank building and the
additional space will be occupied by
offices of the telephone company.
J. c. Holland & Sons are the archi-
tects. In addition to the two addition
al floors the four floors of the pres
ent structure will profit to the eX-
tent of new elevators and similar
equipment.
The addition will house about 125
employees of the general offices of the
company which were transferred here
several weeks ago. All the employees
are now located here but are distribut-
ed among five different buildings, the
Central National bank building. the
Farmers National bank building, the
New England, the Topeka State bank
building and the Topeka Exchange
building, the latter belonging to the
telephone company.

Will the present allied offensive drive the Germans
out of France? When Won Hindenburg ordered a gen.
eral retreat some weeks ago, military critics in Berlin
were loud in their prophecies of a crushing blow to be
delivered to the allies once they were out Of the trench
IN It Is now clear that the German withdrawal from
the somme front WAS defeat pure and simple: it was
strategic in so far as the desire to withdraw from a
great peril with the greatest possible safety is always
strategic. But that 1t occurred as a first step in a gen.
eral plan to bring about the defeat Of the allied forces
An the west 10 q fallacy no longer tenable. Many weeks
have passed by since the first move in the retreat was
made. The only evidence of an attack was made along
the Asne canal, just south Of Berry-au-Bac, and this
was soon crushed. II the object was not to attack but
ito prevent the allies from attacking and thus spoil all
the preparations for spring offensive, 1t has again failed.
During the past fortnight both British and French have
made important gains, have captured many thousands
of prisoners and have taken many hundreds Of big guns
The great push has not yet spent its force and 1t appears
likely that the Germans will be compelled once again to
give way, and that in the not distant future. How fal
toward the Rhine Won Hindenburs's next retreat viii
take him nobody can fortell.
