FOOD LID Lifted
All Restrictions Removed From
Kansas Eating Houses.
Owners, However, Are Request
ed To Avoid Waste.

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 23.-The food
administration today took the lid off
OF eating houses and henceforth the
only thing that will bind. them to save
food is their own sense of duty.
Immediately after Christmas mem
bership cards will be issued to every
eating house, whose owner will agree
to continue the elimination of kitchen
waste. These cards are being shipped
to county food ADMINISTRATORS for dis
tribution. They read:
Member OF u. s. Food Adnafnistration.
Americas food pledge, twenty mill
lion tens. We cooperate. with the
government to fulfill this obligation.
America has promised to feed the
hungry millions OF Europe-the allies

Eating houses which fail to have

will be regarded as failing to aid the
government in carrying. out the
pledge.

Prospects for Wheat Crop of
Kansas Never Better.
State Likely To Break All For.
mer Records.
EXCEEDING BANNER YEAR 1914
Expert Grain Man Confident OF
Enormous Values.
If Present Favorable Conditions
Continue TIN Harvest.

E. M. Jolley, of the Shannon Grain
company of Kansas City. Mo-, but
formerly of Topeka, is in the city
spending the Christmas season here.
He is - intimate touch with the wheat
situation in Kansas, and during the
past thirty days has intimate informa-
tion covering practically every portion
of the wheat growing section. He said
today:
Never in the history of Kansas
have the conditions been SO favorable
for winter wheat as at present. The
banner crop of Kansas, 185, 100000
bushels, was harvested in the summer
of 1914. The corresponding outlook
for next years production is far and
away more favorable than was in evil
dence in the winter of 1913 and 1914.
The acreage in round numbers is
about II, 100000, or 100000 above
the acreage of the states biggest year.
Nearly every acre of the wheat this
season has been pastured on account
of the heavy stand. This, of course,
is doubly advantageous to the farmer
for this feed has been velvet to him
and saved great quantities Of the ordi-
nary feed for cattle.
ut is not improbable that Kansas
may thresh. in the season of 1919, as
much as 250,000,000 bushels of the
grain. Unless conditions between now
and harvest should be more OF less un-
favorable. it maybe safely set down
that the wheat values in the crop OF
1919 will be the greatest this state
ever produced. representing a hall
billion dollars"
The weight and significance of these
figures are apparent when it is known
that according to the last figures COM
piled, covering the deposits in Kansas
of the national banks, the state bank
| and the trust companies were less thar

value of the forthcoming wheat crop

London, Dec. 23.-William Hohen-
zollern has arranged for himself a
Christmas celebration after the tradi-
cumstances will permit. according to a
dispatch to the Daily Express from
Amsterdam today. The arrangements
by the ex-emperor's insistence will in
clude elaborate religious ceremonies
on Christmas eve. The idea of using
the village chapel for these. however,
has proved impracticable for various
possible hostile demonstrations. The
services, accordingly. will. be held in
the drawing room of Amerongen cas-
tie, which will be converted into a
chapel.
The ex-emperor desired to have the
court chaplain. DIR. Ernest Won bryan
der, come from Berlin to preach the
sermon at the Christmas eve cere-
mony, but the Berlin government. says
the dispatch: has refused permission
for the chaplain to go to Holland.
Count Will Preach.
The service consequently will be
conducted by a German missionary
from Zeist, near Amerongen, but Herr
Hohenzollern himself will deliver the
sermon. Many friends of Count Won
Bentinck, the former emperor's host
have been asked to attend the service
the message adds. but have refused the
Invitations. The former rulers audi
ence, therefore. will consist of Count
Won Bentinck and his family. the ex-
emperor's suite and the servants of the
castle. s
Christmas trees will be provided as
usual for the celebration. Herr Ho-
henzollern cut these down himself
with the help of two men of the es-
tate, in the evergreen pine woods
The trees are being decorated and
loaded with gifts.
