Meade, Kansas, Sept. IL, IT
To our Honored President of
the United States:
We, the Undersigned,
by our own hand, desire to as.
sure you of our loyalty to the
National Government, and to
your noble policy in this awful
war. We are especially inter-
ested in the Importance of food
conservation tor its successful
prosecution, realizing the need
keenly enough in these months
of extremely high prices.
We can, with more
grace'and spirit, carry on this
struggle of economizing in the
little details of home and busi-
ness, save every grain of wheat
and ounce OF flour, could we know
that the enormous waste in MAX
ing the un necessary and injur-
ious drinks, wine aud beer, had
been stopped by you through
your authority granted in the
late Food Bill.
We believe in giving
stroke where it will bulk the larg-
est effect and at the same time
set free thousands of employees
for necessary, productive labor,
which IS now becoming so scarce
througout the country; and also
set free those who are morally
bound by the evils of intepper-
ate business. and individual hab-
it's, and thus conserve moral
power and physical energy, both
of which, .if wasted, will cause
us to fail.
The above petition was pre-
sented at our services Sunday
night and signed by the voters
present. 1t will be left for few
days at the First National Bank
and at w. F. Casteen & Co. s
store for any others to sign who
wish to register their names
against this waste.

By PAULINE D. EDWARDS

As a girl had not many cronies.
did not care for this girl and that girl
each for brief season, but preferred
one very intimate friend, such friend
as might tell all my joys or sorrows
to and who would respond In kind. To
others | was reserved. | would not
think of making confidante of any
but the closest intimate friend. Pos
sibly this may have resulted in my
having such friend who superseded
all others In the matter of intimacy.
Alice Wetherell and l were first
schoolmates, then college chums. After
our graduation we were separated for
a year, then We were brought together
again. | found on our reunion that
Alice was engaged. She received me
with the same old affection, but the
idea at once took possession of me
that although | was her girl chum !
had been reduced from a first to a Sec
ond place in her heart
| was not long in communicat ting this
idea to Alice. Instead of denying its
correctness, she seemed thoughtful,
but indisposed to talk about it. When
asked her If either her lover or
must be lost to her which would she
relinquish, she admitted that she
would give me up for him.
You shall meet him, Gwen" she
said to me, 'and when you have be.
come acquainted with him | am sure
you will admit that We're you and to
change places you would give me up
instead of him In case you must lose
one or the other"
Why, Alice l demonstrated, "how
could | do that without being in love
with him."
Never mind that" was her reply,
and this was all could get out of her
on the subject
! Alice not only introduced me to her
hance, Robert Willmarth, but left me
alone with him great deal The first
time met him it did not seem to me
that there would ever be anything in
I common between him and me. He was
, serious man, while l preferred one
. OF lighter vein. He was steady as the
| rock of Gibraltar. My beau ideal of n
| companion was man of mirth.
Inc second time saw Mr.. Willmartb

! gravity had given place to levity. but a
4 ieyity behind which seemed to lurk
I something, the exact nature of which
he did not care to reveal. At our first

e time. AT our second, he called upor

 For the past three years my health had been steadily going uown," she con- tinued. My nerves were so torn up that the least little thing would upset me. I was seldom free from headaches, which were so severe at times that I could hardly bear them. I would lay awake at night for hours unable to rest and get up in the morning feeling worse than when lay down. My appetite was so poor that couldn't eat much at any time and what did eat didn't do me any good.
 "Tanlac helped me right from the start. I have already gained five pounds and am still gaining. My nerves are as steady as they ever were, sleep fine every night and nothing bothers me. The headaches have all left me and I feel as strong as I ever did before my trou- bles, began. I can eat anything l want and it's the first time in many day that have been able to eat any break fast at all Tanlac has certainly been a blessing to me-"

Camp Mills, New York. October $. While taking one of our little seven and one-haIf- mile afternoon strolls few days ago, our One Hundred and Sixty seventh infantry met the One Hundred and Seventeenth supply train on the road This organization halls from Texas, and the men greeted tho Ala bamians with shouts of approval. They are husky, well set up bunch of young fellows, and will doubtless keep us well fed and supplied during our campaign Ing.
 We noticed these Texans carefully, for all old soldiers have natural curiosity as to the men who are to keep them supplied with rations. The Texans meas ured well up to our hopes. If any men on earth can get their wagon trains through on time, and keep up with the marching columns, they can.
 What particularly attracted us was the fact that one of them had scrawled upon his haversack with a pencil the heroic sentiment, Berlin or Bust.'
 This dusty, unwashed private soldier this mule skinner from Texas-has given the Rainbow division it's motto: Berlin or Bust" What nobler sentiment could any American cherish at this particu- lar time? Scholars and scribes may and wrongs of the world struggle, and

VICE RUNNING
OPENLY YET
Omitted Press Leased Wire.l

SEATTLE, Nov. 22.-Major
Gen. H. A. Greene, commander Of
Camp Lewis cantonment, today
charged that vice is still rampant
in Seattle; that while he had
never said Mayor Gill or Police
Chief Rockingham were the men
high in authority" in league
with vice, nevertheless the police
are holding back either thru I'm
terest, fear or authority" and
that evidence he has obtained is
interviewer with information con-
corning enemy activities.
He said he was not ready to lay
his cards on the table, but
when he was ready it would prob
ably be on the federal table"
where the big game Is being
played
Gen. Greene reiterated the idea
that he is interested in seeing the
city safe for visiting soldiers
rather than in having anyone
convicted as a CRATER.
Gen. Greene's letter was sent
to Comptroller Harry Carroll In
answer to Councilman Thompson's
resolution, recently passed by the
council, asking the general to fur
nfsh the evidence on which he
based his statement that 2.s00
