Words Of Warning

Topeka, Kan, April y, 1917.
Meade County News,
Meade, Kansas,
The Department Of JUS
tlce has requested me to give the
following communication the
widest publicity.
Would be pleased to have YOU
publish the same in your paper
as matter of news.
Respectfully,
0. II. WooD,
United States Marshal.
Washington d. c., April g, 1917.
No German alien enemy in
this country, who has not
hitherto been implicated in
plots against the interests of
the United States, need have
any fear of action by the De-
partment of Justice so long
as he observes the following
warning:
Obey the law; keep your
mouth shut.
Respectfully,
T. W. GREGORY,
Attorney General.

Notice

All manure must be hauled
out of the city limits, far enoug b
away so flies will not be a mem
ace to our city. 1t is well
known fact that manure heaps
are the natural breeding place
of flies, and flies the barrier and
breeder of disease, hence the
necessity of destroying their
breeding place.
Please take notice that all ma.
nure must be hauled away, and
all carols and stables cleaned
up and put in sanitary condi-
tion.
Anyone not complying with
this order will be promptly re-
ported to the County Attorney.

Annual School Meeting

The ancual school meeting
was held IN the school audltoriu m
last Friday afternoon, with a
fair representation of the pat
rons of the district present.
The first matter discussed
was the cafteria question. Mr.
Day, on behalf of the board, stat
ed that if there were no object
ions, they had concluded to dis
continue same, due prime pally
to the high cost of living. The
voice of those present was the
same. Next year. domestic sci-
ence will be taught IN the school
the same as this yepr, but the
cafteria which has been under
the direction of the domestic
science teacher will be discon-
tlnued.
The next question discussed
was the "SiX and Six" plan,
which is, six years in the grades
and six years in the high schoo' e.
This system was adopted two
years ago over the Eight and
Four" plan, eight years in the
grades aud four years in the
high schooD While some Of
the argument was in favor of the
new system, the majority belIey-
ed that the old one provided a
better foundation in the branch
es most necessary in life, so it
was voted to return to the Eight
and Four plan
The amount of money neces
sary to run the school next year
was next taken Vp. 1t was voted
to raise S10,S50 in addition to the
amount which will be received
from the State and the Barns
High School funds.
The levy will be based on a
$3.50, 600 valuation.

lmous vote of the meeting for

Increase Food Supply

The News received a telegram
Tuesday from Congressman
Shouse, urging that every idle
acre of ground be planted to
crop of some kind.
This appeal is being sent
broadcast over this state and ma
tion. The war demands as we'll
as the high cost of living, make
it necessary that no effort be
spared 10 increase the food sup
ply. Congressman Shouse's
message follows:
Washington, April 10, 1917.
The Meade County News,
Meade, Kansas.
Our nation is going to need
every ounce of food that crn be
produced. The wheat crop in
many sections now appears to be
killed. There is shortage al.
ready and it's apt to grow more
pronounced. On behalf of the
government, let me appeal to the
farmers of your county through
vOu tn niant every aVLiIa hle acre
to crops this spring. Kafr corn
and milo maize especially are
recommended on account of their
drought resisting qualities. Our
farmers may be in many respects
the most importana factors in
bringing the war to speedy
and successful termination.

Fire Fighting Equipment

The condition of the streets,
due to the rain the day before,
made it almost impossible for
the mbers of the fire depart.
ment to pull the hose cart last
Saturday night. B. fore they
had gone the length of a block il
became evident TO them that if
they arrived at the FIRE in time
to do any good, some additional
power would have to be applied
to pull the cart. An automo.
bile standing in the street was
pressed into service, but the en-.
glne was cold and several sec.
onds passed before it started.
Had the fire been of any conse-
quence, the condition Of the
streets would have made 1t I'm.
possible for the water to have
been turned on before serious
damage was done.
In view of the fact that at
some future time there may be a
repetition of this it seems to us
that the City of Meade would be
making very wise move if they
purchased some kind OF motor
truck for this purpose.
This has been suggested to us
together with the thought that
a home be built for the truck
and cart on the same site with
the fre-bell tower. Inas much
as the City Marshall is on duty
at night, he could very nicely
take care of the hose cart at that
time, and the mem bers of the
fire department could go directly
to the fire; both would arrive in
less time than under present
conditions. The thought seems
good one and we would like to
hear of the City Council getting
such ''bee in their bonnet"

has prevailed since the war councils Of the allies to withhold war news. And 1t is noted that there must be at least some fighting on the western and other fronts which formerly would hove been announced.
 The experts also call attention to the fact that for three days no war news has come from Germany. This Is believed 70 be an indication that Germany no longer cares for public opinion in American and has expected for at least two days an open rupture with the United States. Germany was fighting desperately three days ago, :he experts say. to resist the staggering drives of the Russians on tfe Roumanan and Carpathiaa fronts and it is unbelievable that ac- tie ns have not occurred in the east err theater of the war that are not worth mention were it not for the fact that Germany now considers 1t useless to yield to the American de. mead for news of the war.
