CONTINUE SIMPLE LIFE
rood Administrator Says We Should
Keep on Conserving,


The people of Kansas were asked 70
continue the simple life by Federal
FOOD Administrator Innes in the fol-
lowing message given out TODAY:
For the next seven weeks the peo-
pie of the United States will observe
world relief week. lThis drive for
food is different from any other cam
pa1gn. because we are not asking for
money, neither are we asking the peo-
pie to sign pledge. We are asking
each Individual to inform himself of
worldwide conditions. The schools.
churches. newspapers, women's clubs.
fraternal organizations and others
have enlisted in presenting the world q
need to the public
From my experience as food ad-
ministrator for this state during the
past year I know the generous hearted
people of Kansas will do all that is
expected of them when they know the
facts.
Because of the defeat of GERMANY
we are able to bring sugar from the
East Indies and wheat from Australia
and elsewhere. This helps the situa-
ton greatly and it is no longer neces-
sary to enforce government orders for
the saving of those foods. However.
we ask that economy in the use of ali
food. including sugar. and wheat. be
continued voluntarily. We must con-
tfnue to live the simple life, at least
until harvest and probably longer, SO
that those who fought with us NAV not
be in want"

TO USE Guns HERE
American Railway Artillery for
Defense of Cities.
Also Will Be Utilized in Border
Service.

Washington, Nov. 30.-American
railway artillery soon to be brought
home will be used for defense of the
coast at such points as New York,
Boston and San Francisco-and will
be available also for border service.
This was stated on high authority
today at the war department, where
it was also made known, without CEN
sorship restrictions that some of this
artillery had been obtained as a result
of stripping coast defenses.
Such of the coast defense guns as
were taken, however, were of calibres
not especially valuable for coast work.
AS result of these removals and
because of the experiences of the va
rious armies with respect to large cal
ibre guns, it was said that it would
undoubtedly be necessary to obtain
some larger calibres guns to use in the
coast Qualifications.
As to the utilization of railway artil-
lery, it was pointed out that America S
coast lines are SO great that it is
scarcely possible now to prevent a foe
from landing on our shores. Long
range railway artillery could drive an
enemy ship out of range at q given
point, but not enough guns could be
had to block>an invader at all points.
What is true regarding the coast as
respects railway artillery Is true too, of
the Mexican border, it was stated.
Coast artillerymen and guns have
been overseas since last February.
The production of railway artillery
had just begun to hit the peak when
the war ceased. Aside from the big
French guns manned by United States
coast artillerymen, America has
mounted 6. s, 10, IL and 14-inch
pieces. The 14-inch guns are navy
rifles; such as are used on battIeships
and they have a range of about forty
thousand yards.
1t is anticipated that Major General
Coe. coast artillery corps chief, will
make some definite recommendations
soon with respect to coast artillery in
creaseS or improvements.

new JAP Government
Hara Cabinet Hailed as Advent of
Popular Rule.
(By the Associated Press.)

81
Toxic, Nov. 30.-The new cabinet
headed by Takashi Hara is hailed as
marking the advent of popular gov
eminent in Japan. For fifty years the
champions of representative govern
ment have been struggling for a sys-
tenn under which the premier would
be selected for that post because he
was the leader of the majority party
in the house of representatives. This
has been accomplished when Mr.. Hara
was chosen.
During that half century the gov
eminent has been in the hands Of
clans and court circles generally styled
bureaucratic. On the other hand Mr.
Hara is commoner. He has selected
as members of his cabinet those of
this party, Introducing bureaucrats
only as ministers of war and navy,
who. under the regulations, must be
chosen from army and naval circles.
My ideal has at last been realizedS K
exclaimed Marquis Okuma, Japan's
grand old man." who has 1abored al
ways for the cause of democratic gov
eminent. 1.-THE whole nation should
support the Hara ministry If they are
really DESTROYS of the development OF
constitutional politics in Japan Japan
should have new men. young and Wig
orous, who are able to handle inn
portant affairs of state"
One of the first decisions adopted by
the new cabinet was to abolish the
custom of detailing detectives to ac-
company ministers wherever they
might go and the opening of the min
isterial apartments so that the peo-
pie might have a freer access to them.
Mr.. Hara's striking features are his
large eyes and mass of white hair
He is sparing of words and speaks
straight to the point looking one
straight In the eye with frankness.

FRENCH FLYERS PLANS
What They Will Do Now That Fight
ing Is Over,


ing Is Over.
Paris, Nov. 30 What will become
of the aviators now that the fighting
has ended?
Commercial aviation doubtlessly will
be extended greatly, but 1t is a ques-
ton whether it will present sufficient
attraction to the men who have taken
up aviation for the distinction to be
won in air fighting. The aero club of
France, up to the present, has issued
5000 pilot licenses, and hundreds of
military pilots have not taken out the
aero clubs license, to which they are
entitled.
Inquiry among French aces shows
that the majority are too young to be
worrying about the next phase of life,
altho some hope that civilian aviation
will offer satisfactory careers. Lieut..
Rene Fonck, the ace of aces, with
seventy-five official victories, has not
yet decided what he will do, but may
remain in the army. Sub Lieutenant
NungeSser, with forty-four victories,
has decided to quit the army. He has
received many offers and may go to
the United States.
Lieutenant Lemaitre, after leading
135 bombing expeditions, will be in
charge of an aerial transport under
taking. A young lieutenant barely OF
says:
'Al1 I know is that I will not con-
tinue my law studies
Sub Lieutenant Bourjade, with
twenty-eight successes. proba bly, will
have the least difficulty in returning
to civilian life. He is a priest and will
resume his clerical duties.

Pope Plus x Killed by Belgian
Violation.
Could Not Publish Letter He
Had Written.
alian-American News Bureau.)

Paris, Nov. 3O.-Pope Plus x has
been dead these four years. and still
readers write asking for the truth
about the pretty legend to the effect
that the Pontiff died in Belgium after
an effort to stop the flow Of blood at
it's source.
THE legend is too pretty to be
true" Jean De Bonnefon writes in the
Intransigeant, Those who saw Plus x
in the last days of his life can testify
/ that the white-haired old man con-
tinued to perform his functions and
say his prayers without stirring, in
the Vatican. Yet, at the bottom of the
legend there is the germ of fact, like
a golden bee in the chalice of a chem
ical flower.
Plus x was killed by the war. He
died because he was not able to pub
1ish the superhuman letter he wrote on
August 6, 1914, to protest in the name
of the apostles and Of the popes, in
the name of divine faith and the honor
of mankind, against the violation of
neutral Belgium. Ten persons know
the text of this letter. A hundred at
least know how it happened to be
written, and how q power of which it
is not possible at this time to speak

of a document which would have won
the author immortal fame in the mem

"Ill and weak. Plus x yielded, be-
cause he was unable to do anything

For the moment it is enough to say
| that Plus x died in 1914, on the four
tenth day of the world war, and that
he wanted to escape the burden OF
Papal neutrality. That he died in
Rome instead of in Belgium does not
in any way diminish the sorrowful
| splendor of his end"

If One Candidate Were by q
Taft-Bryan Coalition.
Might Be Either Republican or
q Democrat Member.
ANOTHER REGULAR DEMOCRAT
And Third Was Chosen by Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait.
That Is What the English Are
Up Against Now.

London, Nov. 29.-Suppose one of
the congressional candidates in your
district was selected by a Taft-Bryan
coalition. He might be either Repub-
lican or Democrat, but in any event
pledged to support the coalition thru
thick and thin. Suppose another can
didate was selected by the regular
Democratic organization and other by
Mrs, Carrie Chapman Gait.
Maybe you could then begin to ap-
proach an appreciation of the bewil-
derment of the average voter in the
British general election, in which the
situation is even more complicated.
Political Bcdfelows.
William Howard Taft and william
Jennings Bryan would be no stronger
political bedfellows than Chancellor
Bonar Law and Premier Lloyd George,
who. by mutual concession, have
framed up a really fine reconstruction
program.
Their platform is somewhat shy of
details. but the coalition candidates are
pledged strictly to support all result
Ing measures.
Bonar Law is using the regular
Unionist machinery. Lloyd George
his followers having broken away from
the regular Liberty party but not from
Liberal fundamentals.
The coalition is putting up candi-
dates of various constituencies thruout
the country-either Unionist or Lloyd
George Liberal" whichever seems the
more likely of success.
AsQuith in. Too.
In the meantime, Herbert Asquith.
former premier. is controlling the old
regular liberal machinery. His
party is refraining from general OPP
position. leaving it up to the local or
CARNATIONS to decide whether they
shall support the Lloyd George coali-
ton candidates or put up their own
Asquithian liberals.
The labor party. whose progressive
platform is designed to attract the
bulk of the workmen's vote. is bound
to BE- a big factor. especially in view
of the sympathetic attitude of the
leading old time liberal organs, such as
the Daily News. the Westminster
Gazette and the Manchester Guardian,
who are fondly hoping it is possible
that a liberal labor alliance may Sc
cure the country from domination of
the coalition, which many regard as
more tory than liberal There is con-
siderable uncertainty regarding the
women's and soldiers votes. The lat
ter are likely generally to support the
coalition because the present govern
nent materially helped them to win
the war.

A Hint to Shoppers

Dairy Day Visitors should not
overlook the opportunities they
will have to supply their needs
while in town next Thursday;
neither should they overlook the
fact that Holly merchants carry
complete stocks in their respective
lines and that they sell at prices
as low as market conditions will
permit.
Chieftain readers are respectfully
requested to read carefully the ads
in this issue and to avail them
selves of the opportunities they
offer. Chieftain advertisers desire
your patronage,-desire it SO much
in fact, that they are willing to buy
space in which to extend an invita-
ton. They offer you well assorted
stocks, up-to-date in all respects, at
prices that will please you and
make you a regular customer. They
also offer you prompt service and
every courtesy which the occasion
viii permit.

Final Plans for Dairy Day Has

I Saturday evenings meeting OF the
Cow Club, if it accomplished no
thing more, proved cOnclusively
that it is a real, live pulsating.
vibrating, living thing which nei-
ther cloudy skies above nor miry
roads beneath or the presence OF
storms in the interval can retard or
deter. In spite of Indications OF
rain or snow and in spite of the
worst roads this winter has seen
there was q large attendance OF
dairymen present and the usual
evidence OF enthusiasm.
The program for the evening re-
lated to the plans for Dairy Day
and aside from perfecting the plans
for this event very little was done
However, opportunity was taken
to praise the work of the dairy
school and to commend it as worthy
OF being continued in the coin
munity.
President Partridge spoke en-
Enthusiastically of Dairy Day, when
is fast approaching, and put the
dairymen in good humor Dy the All
nouncement that the full band
from Fort Lyons will be here ana
that the officers OF the fort would
also be the guests OF the city on
that date The band will come AZ
practically no expense and the Fort
LYONS orchestra will supply mu-
sic for the dance in the evening.
Charles Westerhide OF New Douglas,
ill.,, a guest at the w. s. Partridge
home, spoke to the dairymen briefly
relative to observations along dairy
lines. He advocated good feed, the
balanced ration and thought the
Holstein superior to other dairy
breeds for all practical purposes.
Z. B. Darrow, the County Agent,
spoke Of plans for the organization
OF Calf Clubs and their value to the
community. Mr.. Ryan urged care

informed the meeting that 3year
