She was found to be unadapted for
the purpose, however, and after q
trip to the mouth of the Big
Blue, where she was held up for sew
eral days on a sandbar, she started
down the river again. the owners hav-
ing decided to sell her for Missouri
again at a point opposite st. Marys
Mission and during an alteration
which ensued was burned by band
of Pottawatomie Indians.
The first steamer built in Kansas
expressly for the Kaw river trade was
the Lightfoot, a stern wheeler, loo
feet in length. and it was considered
a great day when she first arrived at
Lawrence on April Z. 1857. This boat
made but one trip-from Kansas City
to Lawrence and return, which re-
quired more than a month, the great
er part Of which time was spent on
sandbars-after which she abandoned
the Kaw and went south to the
Missouri.

Many other steamboats, were
brought to the Kaw, where some OF
them operated for years. Among the
better known captains were Matt
Morrison, Thomas H. Briefly, Tom
Morgan, G. p. Nelson and Chas K
Baker. But in 1854 the legislature
passed a bill declaring the Kaw an un-
navigable stream and authorized the
building of bridges across it. Proba-
bly, this bill was passed to encourage
the railroads which were entering the
west and which the state needed
badly; at any rate it was the death

lin THE HEART OF A FOOL"
William Allen Whites Latest Book, His Masterpiece,
Monument to His Right a Leading American Author

apart from his power of enlightenment.
No situation seems too complicated for
his treatment. He even goes into de-
tail of an accident-a fire In a
mine-and to all appearances treats it
technically and professionally. In fact
the author is perfectly at home max
ing love, bearing children, buying state
senators, leading mobs, and burning
mines. He even dips into the tender
subject of socialism, supports 1t, con-
dennis 1t. and then neatly tuckS it away
as a part Of the life that is to come.
His dealings with labor unions and or
ganization and protection in I'm the
Heart of a FOOL. should be vitality in
teresting to every laboring man in the
country today.
But as we have said before, william
Allen White saw farther than a mere
story, q novel, a piece of fiction, if you
like, in "In the Heart of a Fool" He
has launched an ideal-a new thought
in philosophy. In this he has created
his greatest work-his masterpiece. He
has built in his seven years of thought
and fancy on this book a monument to
his right as a leading American writer.
To use William Allen Whites own
words:
for a hundred years. for three
hundred years from Plymouth Rock
to the red fields of France, America
has come a long and perilous way
yet always sure and never faltering.
To have lived in a generation now
passing, to have seen the glory of the
coming of the Lord in the hearts of
the people, to have watched the steady
triumph in our American life, of the
spirit Of justice, of fellowship over the
spirit OF greed, to have seen the Holy
Ghost rise in the life of a whole ma
ton. was a blessed privilege. And If
this tale has reflected from the shall
low paper hearts of those phantoms
fitting thru its pages some glimpse of
ter Joy in their pilgrimage. the story
has played it's part. If the fable of
Grant Adams's triumphant failure
does not dramatic in some way the
victory of the American spirit-the
Puritan conscience-in our genera
ton. then. alas. this parable has fallen
short of its aim. But most of all. if
the story has not shown how sad a
thing it is to sit in the seat of the
scornful. and to deny the reality of
Gods purpose in this world, even tho
it is denied in pomp and power and
pride. then indeed this narrative has
failed. For in all this world one finds
no other place SO dreary and SO Desc

The ridicule with which the present

founded. But sixty years ago that
very thing existed, and during the
most romantic period of Kansas his
tory-the days of famine and civil

eral excellent talks or more properly
 speaking, appeals for the destitute
 Belgians. Mrs. Pollock is in receipt of a most sincere note of thanks from Madame Horta for the kindnesses ex- tended her while in Flagstaff. In speaking of her work in Arizona she mentions her success in forming twelve committees in various parts of the state and in her characteristic way says "The news are so good per haps we may return to our beloved Brussels soon."
 The pledge cards given out on the night of her talk at the court house are now being turned in voluntarily. If you recall, these cards asked for some definite sum each month, run ming perhaps for only one year. The plan is to keep these and then turn the amounts over to the treasurer, w. w. Smith, who already reports a neat little sum of over $30. Some of the pledges received so far call for 25c, some for 50c a month and two call for $1 a month. The sacrifice will be small while the benefit will be untold. A tag day was just in its incipiency when the flu" started. but now that that danger is past the work will be taken up in earnest. The committee hopes to enlist the child ren in the work of tag day for the money received from this particular fund will be used exclusively for milk for Christmas gift to the Belgian children.

Good News for the Red
 Cross Workers.
 Mrs. w. H. Porter announces the opening of the workrooms today. Many Red Cross rooms remained open all during the epidemic owing to the extra demands durings the trying situation but as the local rooms were ordered closed the work piled up in consequence. In hopes that the monthly quota may be rushed through, Mrs. Porter is anxious that all work CTS respond with will on Friday and that the work proceed with vim.
 Let us remember that the good now from the front presages an end in sight, but at the same time it is well to remember that the end is not yet, but every little effort on our part se- cures that end more definitely.
 Now comes the shock! PA pairs of pajamas are called for immediate ly. This is in addition to the Novem- Der quota! We'll, are we discouraged No! Every machine humming", is the slogan.
 As to the Christmas parcels---we spoke last week of the parcels for the boys overseas, and so this week since inquiries have come regarding par cells for the boys in the navy, we can give you some information. Parcels may not exceed 20 pounds in weight and must be prepared for mailing so that the contents may be readily examined. Substantial boxes or other suitable containers should be used.
 Parcels must bear plainly the name and address of the sender in the upper left hand corner of the address side and be addressed in the following manner:

 (c) Care of Supply Officer, Fleet Supply Base, Twenty-ninth St. and Third Ave, Bush Terminal Station, Brooklyn, New York
 (d) The words Christmas Box" or Christmas Present"
