country above every other consideration in
the world-an Americanism in keeping with
that of the noble-hearted women of the
state who gave their sous and husbands to
the war, dearer than life itself-hiding
their tears while their hearts were break

We want an Americanism, not of the
shoot-mouth variety-the kind that talks
big and does littie-but an Americanism
that will sacrifice and sacrifice again and
still again. There is no room In Kansas
today. for the Hun-American. The loud :

more than the combined wisdom of the

VOTE ON RURAL HIGH SCHOOL
Districts Near Washburn Vote Satur-
day on Academy Offer.

The plan to make the Washburn
Academy a high school for students
of the outlying rural districts. will be
voted on Saturday by residents of the
school districts of College Hill, Sea-
brook. wanamaker, Washburn. Gage
Park, Mission Center. Avondale and
Sunnyside. II the college proposition
to make the academy into a high
school is accepted by the rural COM
munities, students in those districts
can attend the school without paying
tuition, but the districts all contribute
to the support of the high school.
H. c. Obrecht. who is chairman of
the publicity committee for the pro-
ject, says that all the college equip
ment will be available for use of the
high school. Tuition from Washburn
academy students. which was about
$500 last year, would go into the rural
high school fund. which would be I'M
der control of q board elected from
the entire rural high school dis
trict. -,
If the plan is accepted, the present
chapel building at the college would
be remodeled for high school use. The
college would require an annual rental
for the first four years of $1,000
Twenty-Five acres of the college cam
pus would be used for agricultural
demonstration purposes. and this
project gives TO the school annually
s1.50C of federal aid.
This arrangemept is permanent and
not war emergency scheme. II the
high school districts want to put up
their own buildings later, the college
will give a perpetual lease On the
ground for the purpose. The entail
arrangement is agreed upon for four
years. but may be renewed after that
time at practically the cost to the col
lege.
Property in the district is assessed
at about three and a half million dol
lars. One and a half mills would pro-
vide $4,000; Barnes high school money
from the county would be az least
$4,000: federal aid $1,000. and lead
envy tuition about $500. bringine the
total receipts to about $4,000 1t is
estimated that the expenses would run
to $4,000. leaving margin of $2,0ee,
which could take care of any xtra
expenses. Tt Is thought that after the
frs year the levy could be reduced
so hat one mill would be sufficient.

IS WONDERFUL
Declares Tanlac best recon
structive tonic for in
fluenza patients.

The following letter from DR.. J. W.
Sandlin. one OF the most prominent
physicians OF Southern Texas. has just
been received at the Tanlac office and
gives indisputable evidence as 10 the
value OF Tanlac as a reconstructive
ing from the after-effects OF Spanish
influenza His letter follows:
Dear sir:
Just a few lines in reference TO
Tanlac. I have found your prepare
ton 20 be a wonderful reconstructive
tonic, and in my opinion It has no
equal in its line. I have found II to
be the best tonic to be had to build up
my patients who have had Spanish
influenza I have treated within the
past month about 400 cases. and have
never been able to get sufficient Tan
lac to supply our people.
Yours truly.

DR.. Sandlin not only enjoys a very
large practice as a physician. but he
is also a man OF wide influence and
ranks as a leading citizen Of the en-
terprising little city OF Humble. Texas.
As a nracticinE phycian OF sixteen
years experience DR.. Sandlin was
quick to recognize the superior tonic
properties OF Tanlac over other rem

tarily gave Tanlac his unqualified

Although the influenza epidemic has

Persons who have had influenza are

apt to follow. Persons who have had

As a reconstructive tonic. and body
builder it is without an equal and con-
tains the very elements needed by the
system to restore YOU to your normal

First Of all Tanlac begins its action
by creating a good healthy appetite
for wholesome. nourishing food. and
assists the vital organs which have

This statement Is easily proven by
the fact that Tanlac is now having
the greatest sale OF any system tonic
in the history OF medicine, in less than
four years time over ten million bot
ties have been sold and the demand Is
constantly increasing.
In connection with the Tanlac treat

Archangel. Russia, Nov. 29.-(Cor-
respondence to The Associated Press-)
Russia is fast bleeding to death
through a reign OF terror which Is
worse than that Of the French revolu-
ton, and it is time the nations Of the
earth came here to put down one Of
the worlds greatest evils" president
Nicholas Tschaikovsky OF the provi-

a correspondent OF The Associated

1T is no longer a question Of poll

shevlk lines the situation Is worse
than the French reign OF terror. Vic
tins executed now must be counted
by the tens OF thousands. All hair
splitting political reasons aside, the
world must know that the Bolsheviks
are no longer even a party, but are
now merely a group Of men deter

1T is now only the question OF put

alton seems beyond the control OF
some Bolshevik leaders who them
selves are revolving at the bloodshed-
Nothing can bring Russia out OF
this chaos until the Bolshevik terror
has been quashed by the force OF
arms" said Tschaikovsky. The force
now here is unable TO do this
quickly Meanwhile hundreds are dy-
ing daily.
The world must understand that
Bolshevism, like Imperialism, Is a foe
to democracy. It is in Russia mere
Dictatorship. a group OF men holding
sway by force OF arms They seize
every straw. falsifying logic TO JUS
tify themselves. AS an example they
now declare that the proposed league

give power to the bOurgeoise against

Russia Doing Best.
Perhaps the world will naturally
ask what Russia is doing TO help her

only answer that I'VE are doing our
best. A recent example is the reor-

STREET NAMES
CHANGED BY HUNS

With British-American Forces in
France. Nov. 29.-(Correspondence of
the Associated Press).-That Germany
expected to occupy for a long time
and perhaps permanently the northern
portion of France. is shown by the
fact that the Hun military authori-
ties changed the names OF all the i'm
portant streets in the larger towns
which fell into their hands There is
scarcely a village where a distinctly
German designation was not given to
a road or street.
Such names as kaiser Wilhelm
strasse." Bismarck strasse," Won
Hindenburg strasse." took the places
OF the French names When the
American troops operating with the
British entered these towns they took
particular delight in destroying these
signs and replacing the original
French markings
