SENATOR WHITLEY HERE.
Made Wonderful Talk on the War
Work of Administration.

Senator X. P. Whitley spoke in this
city Wednesday afternoon at Ago
o'clock to large audience in spite
of the fact that no advance announce
ment had been made of his coming.
Senator Whitley is an extraordinari-
ly fine speaker, and talks Interestingly
and convincingly.
The greatest part of his talk was
devoted to the war and the work of
the administration in carrying on the
war, and although he said little re-
garding his own candidacy for the
United States Senate, he took sever
al hot shots at the St. Louis Republic
which has editorially attacked his
Americanism. He displayed a photo
graphic copy of page advertisement
urging the people of the West against
war against Germany, which was pub
lished in the Republic ON the eve of
the converting of the special session
of Congress which recognized the ex-
istence of state of war. He also
reminded the Democrats that the Re-
public had carried page advertise.
ments for Hughes against President
Wilson on the eve of the election in
1916.
From here Senator Whitley and his
party drove to Rich Hill, where he
spoke in the evening.

Immense Wheat Crop.

Threshing the big wheat crop on
the J F. Kern ranch four miles north
east of town is under full Roadway.
Mr. Kern reported Tuesday evening
that from a field of 2S acres, which
was formerly an old lake, OLE bush
els of wheat were threshed, which
averaged almost 80 bushels to the
acre. He confidently believes that
100 OF the 42o acres OF wheat on this
ranch will make an average yield of
10 bushels to the acre, and it will be
a greater crop than last season when
900 acres was put in wheat. 1t will
be 10 days before threshing is COM
pleted on the Kern ranch.-Rich Hill

LIVING HEROES.


One Of the big cities Is establishing
in all its upper grammar and lower
high school grades courses in ''voca-
tional guidance" There is nothing new
about this. tho the plan is not yet so
generally accepted as it ought to be.
The educators recognize that children
are not mere brains to be stuffed, but
people who after they leave school will
have to live in busy world and work
for their living. They try, therefore,
to give them a more definite notion Of
what they win face in the future, the
various kinds Of work open to them and
what their probable fitness Is for any
particular occupation.
This is all fine, constructive and
promising. But the thing about the
program which seems new, and deserv-
ing of special mention. is that: The
men held up as models for emulation
are not taken from the past, but from
the present. To illustrate success along
various lines the boys are told about
such heroes as Thomas Edison Andrew
Carnegie, Charles NJ. Schwab, John
Wanamaker. Henry Ford and others
who have overcome great obstacles to
attain business success and fame.
Isn't that a good idea? Let us not
lose reverence for departed heroes, by
all means. But why should all the men
and women held up for Juvenile ad
miration be dead ones? There's more
inspiration for boys and girls in liv-
ing hero.

LET'S CONSERVE ON BREWERS GRAIN

If congress will stop the use OF grain
for the brewing business during the
period of the war the majority of the
people of the United States will be
pleased; 5o,0o0.O00 bushels of grain will
be saved annually for any useful pur-
pose and fair trial will be given to
nationwide prohibition while the leg
islatures of the several states are de-
Gliding whether or not to ratify an
amendment to the federal constitu-
ton which will make prohibition per-
manent
1t is poor grace on the part of the
food administration to ask sober peo-
pie to deny themselves the wholesome
use Of grain foods and refuse to shut
off grain supplies to the brewers 1t is
true that the brewers use less grain
than would furnish substitutes for 5
per cent of our wheat and it is true
that we are not short on substitutes as
yet but we have taken over complete
control Of the milling business in order
to make 20 per cent more flour out Of
the wheat used and it would seem that
a waste of 5 per cent in substitute
grain would be worth saving.
Hoover gives as his reason that it
might encourage drunkenness to shut
off malt liquors, but that is merely
Hoovers opinion. Experience in dry
states has shown conclusively that it
discourages drunkenness to shut out
all liquors, but Hoover was put into his
presen. office to save grain and not to
pass judgment on the question Of pro-
hibition. II we can save beer grains
equal to 5 per cent OF billion bushel
wheat crop it is Hoover's duty to save
it before he asks people Of sobriety
and temperance to conserve on grains.
They have no relish for conserving
that the drinkers may drink. Congress
ought to do what Hoover has failed to
do and shut of grain from the brewing
business.

WILL CURB AMBULANCE cHAsERs.

|, Not only must the higher officials Of
our railroads get along with reduced
pay but the ambulance chasing lawyer
is to have his graft curbed by the gov
eminent. Director General McAdoo has
issued instructions and regulations to
the effect that all verdicts against rail-
road companies for personal injuries
now are verdicts against the U. s.
to pay them or not as he sees fit
He announces that it will be the
policy of the government to deal direct
y with the injured person, to be liberal
in settlement, to endeavor to settle
direct in order that the injured one
may receive all the money paid and
not have to divide with lawyer. He
even intends to discourage litigation
by making thorough inquiry as to how
much the lawyer is to get out Of it
before he pays a verdict,
Under the law the power of the gov
eminent will permit it to do very much
as it pleases but the public will not
worry much as to what becomes of the
ambulance chaser. Employers the
world over would gladly adopt the same
policy if they could. The average en-
ployer would like to be liberal in his
settlement with persons injured in HE
factory if he could be assured that all
of the money was going to the person
injured. So often he is asked to nay
thousands that some lawyer may make
a killing" on his own account that the
courts are kept busy trying personal
injury cases. States have passed
workmens compensation laws in an
effort to circumvent the ambulance
chaser ara insure that the workman
will actual receive the compensation.
Now the national government in con-
troll Of the railways purposes to at
tempted the same thing in the name Of
the United States of America.

Well, the next day after Uncle
Lucky and Billy Bunny had seen the
alligator and had heard all the good
news at the old farm, as you read in
the last story, they set out in the
Luckymobile. and by and by, after a
while, they came to a little town where
circus was being held. tt was not a
very big circus, you know. The tent
was small and there was only one
elephant and a lion and maybe bear
or two, and three monkeys. But just
the same every little boy and girl in
town wanted to go. let me tell you.
Well, when the two little rabbits
reached the field where the big tent
stood. they put the Luckymobiis be-
:, .1.s osa1e &c the his red cs-cns wagons
and went over to the ticket man to
buy their tickets. But, oh, dear me!
There wasn't a single seat to be had.
Wasn't that too bad.
what shall we' do?" asked Uncle
Lucky, and jut then up came man
with bunch Of toy balloons.
SO the old gentleman rabbit bought
one for Billy Bunny and one for him
self. But would you believe it? AS
soon as the man handed the balloons
to the two little rabbits, they rose
right up in the air. and away went
Uncle Lucky with one balloon and
away went Billy Bunny with the
other. You see. they didn't dare let go
Of the string for fear they would fall
and break their left hind toes.
Up and up they went till at last you
could hardly see them at all. And
wasn't the balloon man frightened?
You should have seen him. But he
couldn't do anything. you know. Only

tand there looking up into the sky.
well pretty soon Billy Bunny said
to Uncle Lucky:
::If only had little pin I'd stick
it very gently into my balloon and
then the gas would come out and let
us down to the ground" al
Here, take my diamond stickpin,"
said the old gentleman rabbit. 'But
be careful you don't lose it."
So the little rabbit took the pin be-
tween his teeth and then he slimbed
up the string until he got close enough
to the balloon to stick it with the
pin.
Grab hold Of my coat" he said to
Uncle Lucky "Recanse ] won't be able
to stick your balloon in time.' So the
old gentleman rabbit took : good hold
of the little rabbits coattails and then
Billy Bunny stuck the pin into his ball
loon and out came the gas with little
whistling noise, and pretty soon the
balloon began to settle lower and lower
And after while they landed on the
top Of great high mountain, many
many miles away from the place
where the circus was.
ION, dear, and peck Of troubles!"
said Uncle Lucky I'm glad to be on
earth once more, but how are we ever
to get homer" And he sat down on a
stone and scratched his left hind toe
with the back Of his ear.
II know" said Billy Bunny all Of
sudden, just like that. And then he
opened his knapsack and took out
little wireless machine. And in the
next story you shall hear what the
message was that the little rabbit sent
out from the top Of the great high
mountain

be more building Of such roads. once
the beginning has been made. That
the national government will do still
moro to encourage the building OF
real roads than has been done in the
past, and that our people, having once
adopted the policy, will make haste to
avail themselves Of future opportun-
tiles.
In the meantime Iowa advocates Of
good roads are not unmindful OF what
the neighbors In Illinois are planning.
And the suggestion is growing In pop
ularity: TT Illinois can build a great
network Of real roads, can pay the In
terest on the bonds. redeem the bonds,
without resortfng to special taxation
aand without levying special taxes,
why cannot Iowa do it?" And the
answer is that Iowa can do it. What
KS to be done in Illinois is no financial
marvel. 1t is a bit of very simple
arithmetic. The auto tax will pay the
