AS much as has been said and writ

had at times. These people whose

sisting on cow beets and straw bread.
An Europe is short-rationed and

This is our war from now on. What

in the world. Either our soldiers must
skimp their rations or we must skimp
ours; either they must do without
some necessities or we must do with.

The Salina union says eighty-fve
candidates were initiated at the big
Knight of Columbus celebration
held here Sunday Prominent among
them were the soldier boys of Hays
who came up from Camp Funston.
The other candidates came from Vic
toria, Collyer, Grinnell, Liebenthal,
Clayville, Park and Hays. A good
program was given which was contin-
ued all day long. One of the most
enthusiastic crowds that has ever
turned out were present at the big
patriotic meeting which was held in
connection during the afternoon.
Stirring speeches were made by Jas.
r. Start of McCracken, Father julius,
of Hays, Ex-State Deputy Borden
Kircher of Concordia, James Gibbons
of Topeka and Father Henry of
Plainville. Although Mr.. Kircher is
German by birth he gave one of the
most appealing and patriotic speech
es in which he expressed his loyalty
that had been made during the day.
He expressed his hatred and disgust
for the so-called slackers and pro-
Germans. In all a spirit of loyalty
and good citizenship were shown at
the meeting.
The Knights of Columbus made
their formal organization at this time
to thoroughly canvass all of Ellis
county in the sale of Liberty Bonds.
Sunday evening banquet was
served to more than 400 Knights and
their ladies in the Catholic School
hall Mr. James Start acted as toast
master.
