have antagonized as governor are op-
posing me with all the adroitness
known to practical politics.
All this means 1 must depend. as
never before on my friends. If the
people believe 1 have done good work
in the governors Office and will serve
them faithfully in Washington, they
will take specially earnest interest

To an immediate ending of war
plundering, profteering, and price,
gouging in the necessities of life No
one must be permitted to make money
out of this war.
To insist that the general public be
represented on all boards and COM
missions empowered to fix or regul-
ate price. The fixing of prices of flour,
meats, sugar, coal, clothing, farm i'm
plements and other necessities should
not be left entirely to the men, how
ever patriotic they be, who are per-
sonally interested in the industries
affected.
To strip all waste, graft and parti-
san favoritism from the public SER
vice, and from war contracts and all
other public expenditures.
To the direct and fair regulating of
all big business controlling natural
ton and communication, not only for
the war, but in the readjusmtent after
the war, and where necessary the
actual taking over of them
To work fair markets and right
conditions for our producers, with
special taxes for large holdings of
land held for speculative purposes.
To fight for a fairer adjustment of
the burdens OF, taxation. Our enor-
nous war debt makes this impera-
tive. Big incomes and excess war
profits must pay the big end of the
wars cost. To 1iquidate the war debt,
high rates of taxation must be con-
tinued on large incomes after the war.
This is certain to be one of the hard
fought issues in congress and if elect
ed, I shall work increasingly for this
policy.
To demand immediate and complete
wartime prohibition and the ultim-
ate banishment of the saloon.
To these and lesser measures shall
give unsparingly of my energy, am
aware this is big contract, but it's
up to us.
I shall not be able to go out and
make an active canvass for the nom
intion. Kansas and the national gov
ernment are entitled to my best efforts
in war work, and I shall devotedly at
tempt to deliver them. 1 must give
my time and strength to the duties
of my office, regardless that this is

ways and means for increasing pro-
duction; with the desire to do every
thing l can for our thousands of Kan
sas boys in the army and navy; with

few days ago and only took on fif-
teen hundred tons and when this bat
tie wagon is under way for twenty
four hours she burns a lot of coal,
about Is tons day.
I am getting so I can sleep fine in
a hammock so fine that I dreamed
that I was home consequently I did
not get up when revels blew and
pretty soon rop! rop! went an old
and I awoke pretty suddenly. I have
not had any such dreams since, it
doesn't pay, ha! ha!
Say you'll never hear a word from
me if things don't taste just so. The
eggs I ate this morning were at least
few years old and the butter was
made last spring, but should worry,
at the table. We have a crazy name
for everything. One morning a fell
low yelled for salt just then a big
wave came through the gun port and
took his breakfast off his plate so he
got all the salt he wanted. We got
pretty wet too. You don't need to
worry about me getting washed off
the ship by wave as we all have
sense enough to get high or low
enough to miss the waves. I believe
that soldiers have more sickness than
sailors. We are sure always healthy
They ought to get out here and get
salted down occasionally. One of our
sailors got washed off decks by the
storm but next ship picked him up.
OUR SAILORS PRAYER
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my sould to keep.
Grant me no other sailors take,
My shoes and socks before. 1 wake
Please, Lord, guard me in my slum-
Der,
Keep my hammock on its number,
May no clews or lashing break
And smash my head before I wake.
Keep me safely in Thy sight,
Grant no fire drills be tonight
And in the morning let me wake
Mid haunting scenes of sirloin steak.
Lord, protect me if I dream,
And make things better than they
seem.
Grant all four years will quickly fly,
And all hardships will pass me by.
Oh, that billowy feather bed,
Where I long to rest my head,
Far from these hellish scenes,
And the smell of half cooked beans,
Take me back to solid land
Where they scrub no decks with sand,
Where no demon tyhpoon blows,
And where women wash the clothes.
Lord, Thou knowest all my woes,
Kindly cure my sunburned nose,
Take me back home to fields of clover
And, I'll promise, Lord, I'll never ship
over.
I must close now.
With love,
Cecil Ruppe.

Some years ago stock of hard
ware, which was originally bought to
sell in eastern Kansas, was shipped
out into the shortgrass country.
Among other things, the stock in
cluded a lot of hedgehooks and the
owner was at loss to know what to do
with them because, as everybody
knows, there are no hedges in west
ern Kansas. However, providence
came to the aid of the dealer. The
Russian Thistle invaded the country
and there was a demand for a tool of
appropriate shape and strength to
make the pest loosen its tenacious
hold upon the ground. And right
there this enterprising dealer saw and
seized his opportunity and disposed
of his surplus stock with this spiel:
