The bill of Representative Hardy referred to in the above dispatch, if passed by the senate and signed by the governor, would result in the closing of poolroom operated in this city for the past two or three months by R. D. White. Already proceedings have been instituted in the Faulkner county court seeking to close Mr. Whites place under the provisions of an act which permits courts to make orders against billiard rooms and other resorts upon peti- tions from majority of the voters within three miles of any educational institution. The hearing on this pc tition is set in county court for Thursday, January 25.

many very learned people have been
wrangling about what truth is for sew

not seem to be definitely settled. But
for the most of us truth is what we

The Gift Divine
By WIN. BRADFORD DICKSON

At this fair Christmastide,
When Joy bells ring out
The song of plenty and ring In
The reign of peace throughout
This wonderful land Of ours
The while across the sea
Old Mother Earth Is drenched with blood
And hate and carnage reign supreme;
While stockings wall for milk
And children faint for lack of food;
While strong men fall beside the way
And homeless women kneel in prayer
l do not ask for gifts
Or frankincense and myrrh,
or gold, of Ophir or Of either Ind.
or jewels rare or priceless merchandise,
OF marble halls or vast estates
Nor cen the costly homage of mankind;
But this
That I may give each day full need
Unto the willing mind and heart,
OF light of Truth and warmth Of Love,
OF matchless skill in comforts art
That magic all Transforming touch
Which heals the leper's spots
And turns to naught the wounds and
scars
Deep scared upon the heart of man
On life's great battlefield;
That may bind earth's broken hearts,
Lifting up the dropping heads
OF the oppressed and burdened ones,
That may plant within young hearts
A deeper longing for the Right
OF mercy for the hapless weak
And those who suffer daily throes
OF hunger, pain. disease, neglect;
That I may know forgetfulness
For daily sights and wrongs;
That may hourly grow
In love of liberty, Of friend and foe.
And all the world
May grow in love-a fruitful love
For all the beauty and true
In nature, art, the heavenly realm
And for the noble deeds of all mankind;
That I may fill the widening hours of
life
With courage, cheerfulness, and hope;
That I may help my fellow man
Behold the dawn beyond the night.
The gentle calm beyond the storm.
These are the gifts I crave
: Above the blind worlds treasure trove
OF gaud and gilt.
Who gives his better self the whole year
through
Gives life's own priceless gift to all the
world and you--the gift divine.

Only Once a Year.

But how seldom Christmas comes
only once year; and how soon it is
over-a day and night! If that is
the whole of it, it seems not much
more durable than the little toys one
buys of faker on the street corner.
But surely that need not and ought
not to be the whole of Christmas; only
single day Of generosity, ransomed
from the dull servitude of a selfish
year. If every gift is token, of per-
sonal thought, friendly feeling, and
unselfish interest in the joy of others,
then the thought, the feeling, the in
terest, may remain after the gift is
made.-Henry van Dyke.

Patriotic Demonstration in
Nearly Every Town.

All Kansas is behind President Will
son and congress in the war move if
the spirit shown in towns thruout the
state is an indication of the under
lying sentiment. Scores of towns are
today observing Loyalty Day, as pro-
claimed by Governor Capper. In a
spirit of patriotism, monster loyalty
parades are being held in many towns,
schools have been dismissed and the
day set aside for expressions of ma
tional loyalty.
Many of the towns observed Loyalty
Day Thursday. Others are ceiebrat-
ing today under the official procla-
nation of the governor. AS result
of the outburst of patriotism in Kan
sas, there is today a shortage in the
flag supply. Thousands of Kansas
business houses and residences are to-
day displaying the national colors. In
dividual expressions are made thru
the displays by thousands of men and
women of miniature flags
In Lawrence state university stu
dents joined in the Loyalty day cele
bration. Headed by their band and
followed by the students and band
from Haskell Institute, K. U. boys
with the local guards companies and
the First regiment band. Following
the demonstration, it was announced

Wichita, Hutchinson. Pittsburg,
Dodge City, Manhattan, Junction City,
Kansas City, Kansas, and many other
towns celebrated today. In scores of
other towns special exercises were held
in the schools. The larger towns, tho,
staged monster loyalty parades in
which the bands played and hundreds
of men and women participated and
thousands of school children carried
flags and banners.
Report to Governor.
Governor Capper today received
kilograms and letters from towns in
all sections of the state announcing
observance of the day. In many
towns the celebration gave a new i'm
petus to national guard enlistments.
In Ottawa, for example, the number
of applicants for places in the guard
service far exceeded the equipment
which had been allotted the company.
A report from Salinas dem nstra-
ton day stated that in event of open
hostilities with Germany, President
John F. Harmon and his entire staff
and student body in Kansas Wesleyan
university would enlist for service
during the war. All towns in which
national guard companies d station
| ed, held special demonstrations As a
result of the parades, the speeches and
| evidences of national patriotism,
scores of national guard enlistments
were secured. While no report has
been received by the adjutant general. :;

to date Will practically bring the guard
companies to full war footing
There is every indication that all
Kansas is participating in the Loyalty
Day celebration said Charles Ses-

Letters and kilograms which we have
received from every district indicate
a statewide observance of the day.

TRUNK FULL OF BOOZE.
Baggage Man Handled 1t Roughly
Then Law Got 1t.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, April G.
Because Santa F'e baggage men hand
led a trunk too roughly, there is now
very likely thirsty owner at Bazaar
whose chances of relieving that thirst
brought on by the new Kansas bone
dry law are not the brightest in the
world
While baggage men at Strong City
were loading on a truck a bright new
trunk which had been checked from
Kansas City to Bazaar, they let it fall
too hard and presently there began
tric1ling from it several small streams
of booze. The Santa Fe agent at
Strong City notified the county sheriff
here who. brought the trunk to this
city. Upon opening it, the authorities
found under a layer of apples sixteen
quarts of booze. Six of the sixteen
quarts had been broken. The trunk
and its contents are now being held
by the county authorities for the own
er to claim it.

Lemons Beauty!
Strain lemon Juice we'll before
mixing and massage face,
neck, arms, hands.

Here is told how to prepare an mex
pensive lemon lotion which can be
used to bring back to any skin the
sweet freshness of which it has been
robbed by trying atmospheric condi-
tons. Windchafe, roughness, tan and
redness are warded off and those tell
tale lines of care or OF age are soft
ened away.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
lemon skin beautifier at about the
cost one must pay for a small jar of
the ordinary cold creams. Care should
be taken to strain the lemon juice
through fine cloth so no lemon pulp
gets in, then this lotion will keep
fresh for months. Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan, and is
the ideal skin softener, smoothener
and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face, neck. arms and hands,
and see for yourself.-Adv.

MAN WHO TORPEDoED

Submarine Can Be Built in
Is Days but it Takes
Three Months to Properly
Train Men to Handle
Them-Boats Being Built
at Rapid Rate,
BY CARL W. ACKERMAN

NSopSrlSntJ 1910, the tribune ASSOCla-
Germany has more sub
marines than trained crews.
On Feb. /, when the kaiser
defied the United States by
threatening all neutral ship
ping i'll European waters,
Germany had four hundred
undersea boats completed or
III course of construction.
This included big U-boats,
like the U-53, with a cruis-
ing radius of 5000 miles, and
the smaller craft, with 15-
day radius, for use against
England, as well as supply
ships and mine layers. But
not all these were ready for
use against the allies and the
United States two months
ago. About one hundred
were waiting for trained
crews or were being COM
plcted in German shipyards.
1t was often said in Berlin that the
greatest loss when a submarine failed
to return was the crew. 1t required
more time to train the men than TO
build the submarine. According to
Germany's new method of construction,
submarine can be built in Is days.
Parts are stamped out in the factories
and assembled at the wharvcs. But il
takes from so to. 80 days to educate the
men and get them accustomed to the
scasiCk motion of the U-boats. Be
sides, it requires experienced officers
to train the new men.
To meet this demand Germany be-
gan months ago to train men who could
man the newest submarines. So a
school was cstablished-a School of
Submarine Murder-and for many

torpedo which would go through steel
net. The first invention was a torpedo
with knives on the nose. When the
most hit the net there was minor ex
plosion. The knives were sent through
the net. permitting the torpedo to con-
tinue on it's way. Then the allies
doubled the nets. and two sets of knives
were attached to the German torpedoes.
But gradually the allies employed nets
as traps. These were anchored or
dragged by fishing boats. Some sub
marines have gotten inside, been Jug
gled around, but have escaped. More.
perhaps, have been lost this way.
MANY IMPROVEMENTS.
Then, when merchant ships began
to carry armament, the periscopes were
shot away. so the navy invented a So
called finger periscope," thin rod
pipe with a mirror at one end. This
rod could be showed out from the top
of the submarine and used for obser-
walton purposes in case the big peri
scope was destroyed.
From time to time there were other
inventions. AS the submarine fleet
grew the means of communicating

were fastened on the outside of sub
marines, and it was made possible for
wireless messages to be sent through
the water at a distance of so miles.
The navy learned, too. that if sub
marines worked in pairs they had bet
ter luck in sinking ships and escaping.
Besides, a submarine cannot aim at a
ship without some object as a sight
SO one submarine often acted as the
sight" for the submarine firing the
torpedo. Submarines, which at first
were unarmed, were later fitted with
armor plate and cannon were mounted
Oh deck. The biggest submarines now
carry 6-inch guns.
So much for submarines and their
crews. But what will they do now
that American ships are armed?

ALL REGARDLESS.

NLG nCSHhOIG0S.
Every man in the German navy will
throw up his cap and shout 'Hurrahn
when the order comes to sink all ships
regardless of their nationality" he an
swered.
But, would you support an unlimt-
ed submarine war in defiance Of the
United States?" l asked.
Well, I don't want war with Amer
lea he replied, but think our sub
marines should be used against every
ship bound for England or France"
Bassermann was frank and honest.
but when I submitted the interview to
the foreign office the censors cut out
everything which gave Bassermann's
real views. When l read my dispatch
in the American papers | saw, to my
great astonishment, that Bassermann
didn't want ruthless submarine war.
The censor had changed the version to
suit the ideas which the German
government wanted the American peo-
pie to believe. But Bassermann was
right. The navy undoubtedly shouted
"Hurrah!" and is still shouting, because
the navy has offensive plans against
the United States and believes it can
keep the American navy busy in
American waters from now until the
war ends.
C-53 was sent here for two purposes.
First, it was to demonstrate to the
American people that in event of war
submarines could work terror off the
Atlantic coast. Second, it was to show
the naval authorities whether their
plans for an attack on American ship
ping would be practical. U-53 failed
to terrorize the United States, but it
proved to the admiralty that excur-
sions to American waters were feas-
IDLE.
The German navy too. has its eyes
on Mexico. The allies obtain a great
deal of oil from the Tampico oil fields.
A few German agents planted along
the Mexican coast could supply a sub
marine for some time without being
caught. Captain Boy Ed undoubtedly
took good care to make all these ar
rangements before he left. If he didn't
there are enough German agents al
ready in Mexico to do the necessary
work.
In event of war the American navy
will be kept busy in American waters
and especially on the coast of Mexico
to destroy Germany's plans over here.
But Germany will make the attempt.
Germany wants to fight the United
states, not in Europe, but in America.
Her reservists, her agents, and her
German born American friends will be
modified to help her defy the Monroe
Doctrine, which she has always in
tended to challenge.
