the football management hopes 70
stage a game each Saturday through
out the season.

decided Upon because of the cancer
lation of previous games ana NO give
the scrubs much needed tryout.
The second string men. who have
been in charge OF Lieutenant DICK
Harlow. for the past six years head
coach At Penn State, should make
creditable showing against Belmont,

OF attention toward developing a
smooth working machine.

Techs schedule. and Coach Bernier
has about landed the aero squadron
team of Richmond for appearance
on Miles field at that time.

'CAMP CAMPA|GhERS
CONTINUE IN WORK

With rumors regarding what may be
thought a premature peace comes the
determination that the Liberty loan
and then the united war work camp
campaign shall not suffer, regardless
lof the true meaning on his situation.
This is the thought in the minds of
the entire public at present. Neither
is it the intention of the seven war
relief associations cooperating at the
request OF the president, in ore great
drive. to be held during the week OF
November Ills to let war, peace or
plague stand in the way of raising
Elrginia's part of the slI0, 100000

united for this Novem Der campaign
rare-the Y. Nc. A.. the Y. w. t. A..
the American Library association. the
knights of Columbus. the Salvation
army. the Jewish Welfare association
and the war camp community scrv-
ice.
The quota for the eastern division
is $15.02O.000: the quota for Virginia
Is about $l,500.000. This campaign
proper will be conducted for ne wee k
beginning November II. heretofore
the different organizations have con-
Quoted their separate campaigns with
the result that drives for relief funds
have been stretched out over most Of
the year. This time 1T the request
OF President Wilson these seven organ.

PARIS QUESTIONS
huns SINCERITY

Paris. Oct 5.-Best-informed opin-
ion here persists that Germany is not
approaching the armistce question in
an attitude of sincerity, but is only
seeking to avoid the consequences of
defeat through allied n9agninImdy pn
which she evidently counts.
Consequently II is generally held in
authoritative quarters that Germany
should not be granted an armistice
Except upon the strictest terms COM
pata BILE with allied military safety.
France is not willing for I, suspen-
sion of hostilities, which would mean
a suspension of the victorious allied
progress, until Germany has acknowl-
edged defeat. This she did not do in
her reply to President Wilson.
The American executive. therefore
could not have written a reply more
to the heart of the French people.
| high and low. than that which he sent
| to Berlin yesterday.
| A series of interviews in the best
| informed quarters here reveals the
! following conclusions:
l. Foch has known since July that
| Germany is defeated. Now, backed
| by all France. the generalissimo Is
unwilling to permit the Germans a
| respite for the purpose of realignins
their still heavy forces.
.. France is thankful that Presi-
dent Wilson appreciates that Focf
and the allied commanders can bes'
| Judge the terms OF an armistice which
| is beyond the realm of diplomacy.
| 3 The allies would have perfect
right to demand allied occupation OF
| the left bank of the Rhine to insure
| Germany's good faith before agreeing
| to suspend hostilities. This. II should
| be stated, is absolutely unofficial. but
it is set forth here as an example OF
| military guarantees such as are re-
| garded as absolutely essential
A mixed commission" suggested by
| Germany in her second note IL incom-
! patible with the necessary attitude OF
Germany. For 1t is she that is seeing
peace, and it is pointed out here that
! it is no part Of the vanquished to die
| tate terms OF an armistice. or even
! to have anything to do with those
| terms save their unqualified surren-
| der
| DR.. Soils assurance that the reich
stag Is behind the armistlce offer is
no assurance for whom the German
government is speaking. and Presi-
dent Wilson's new demand on this
point is therefore, regarded as hitting
the nail squarely on the head.
From a well informed source the
| correspondent obtained this statement
tonight:
I'VE stand at the most danger GUS
and also the happiest moment Of the
war. because it is now definitely re-
lvealed that the enemy Is defeated, but
| is striving through trickery to save
what his armies are unable 20 save.

BUYING HORSES
Congress Makes Healthy
Appropriation for Army


Congress has recently appropriated
$35, 100000 for the purpose of buying
100000 horses, or in other words three
quarters of million at an estimated
cost of 5000 each.
At the beginning of the war there
was a great surplus Of horses = SC
great that the demand made by for
eign countries was supplied without
causing the market price to advance
appreciably.
The steady drain since the begin
ming of the war has changed condi-
tions and now the surplus horses are
gone. By the time the present order
of 100000 head has been filled, the
horse will be at premium.
The farmers who can look ahead
can easily see that now, of all times,
is the time to begin breeding and to
keep at it, and keep at it. Good breed
ing animals may be found at moderate
prices at the sales to be held during
the Kansas National Live took Show.
The Horse sale will be held on Satur-
day, March End at Wichita.

RAISE MORE STOCK
Not the Scrub Variety, But
High Class Stuff

Europeans are eating their breeding
animals.
This they are forced TO do by cir
cumstances arising from the war.
2 That is why Europe has $4,000, 600
less hogs, 28,000,000 fewer cattle and
54,OOO,0O0 less sheep than when the
war started.
This reduction in the European live
stock population will continue as long
as the war lasts.
In the British Isles alone there are
$4,000 less brood sows than there were
a year ago. There are 100000 fewer
hogs than at that time.
That means that every Kansas and
Oklahoma farmer should help his
country by raising more live stock
AT this time hogs should be consid-
cred first as hogs can be produced
more quickly than any other class Of
live stock. They are farrowed in lit
tcrs and can be matured much more
quickly than beef or mutton.
Prices are going to remain high fol
all meats. The food administration
for whom these figures we're compiled
finds the available supply of meat ami
mails in American is growing smaller
though not so rapidly as in Europe
We have not yet been driven to the
extremity of eating our breeding ami
mails.
The pure-bred live stock sales which
wi ! be held at Wichita in connection
" tn the Kansas Live Stock Show
February 25 to March 2, will give the
farmer and stockman an opportunity
to add to their breeding herds.

We All Hope So

Mr.. Stackhouse is here from
Eldorado at which place he is
working in the oil fields. He is
visiting his daughter Mrs. Carl
Ellis. Mr.. Stackhouse says that
this country has the same :ndi-
cations of oil and gas that the.
Eldorado fields had. That's an
other opinion along with many
others that there is oil and gas in
this vicinity.
Recently the editor of this pa
per was in conversation with
Frank Fuhr of Meade, former
editor of the Meade Globe, and
he said that something like 20
years ago survey was made of
this vicinity for oil and gas and
it was at this same time that a
survey was made of the Eldorado
fields. Altho this blue print of
the survey was old and worn, he
saw that 1t was marked with
very favorable indications.
AT the present time there are
leases on record at the county
court house of something like
100000 acres. If there is some
thing very favorable why are
these oil companies keeping these
leases and bonus will have to
be paid on many of these leases
If they don't start drilling or the
leases will be void. If they pay
this bonus then you can bet your
bottom dollar that they think
that the indications are f1atter-
ing. We would almost bet our
life there is oil and gas here

LOVELAND
GIVES FACTS
Has Been in Recgium and
Spoke from Experience

A crowded house, a generous
contribution, aud well pleased
audience, such in brief, is the
report of DR. Loveland's meet
ing held last Saturday night at
Phelps theatre.
AS is already known, DR.. Love-
land has spent some time in the
allied countries, and has deyoted
much of his time since returning
to this country to securing aid
for the Belglans, whose suffering
by reason of the German invas-
ION at the beginning of the war,
has greatly impressed him. He
took for his su 6ject, The Soul
Of The German Empire" and
"The Tragedy of Belgium" "
Both were discussed from the
standpoint of one who has been
an eye witness and not from
hear say authority. HIS address
was we'll received and the big
audience went away more en-
thused to do their "blt" than
ever before,
At the conclusion of his ad-
dress a contribution was taken
for the Belgian relief fund, which
amounted to $4,000
Sunday morning DR.. Loveland
visited Fowler, and after the lee
ture $354.0O was added to the
fund. In th. afternoon he vis-
tied Plains, and the patriotic
people of that locality contribut-
ed another $4,000, making to-
tai from this county of ST., ,O20.
Sunday evening DR.. Loveland
visited Forgan and received ar.
other substantial increase.
This is the last place DR.. Love.
land will visit before returning
to Belgium, which will be IN the
next few weeks.

Elsewhere in this issue will be

for the sale of the Stone school
house, twelve miles south OF
Meade. A new, modern building
was recently finished and is now

guiding point for travellers on
their way. Why wouldn't 1t be
good idea to preserve this relic
of pioneer days.
