LOCAL MENTION

With the disease raging in several
parts of the city, isn't it about time
for some patriot to start a campaign
to induce people to call German
measles by another name? 1t is an
awful thing for an American to have
his face all broken out, to have to stay
in a dark room thru the long days and
also to bear the stigma of having his
friends say he is interned because he
has the German" measles.

HAS LITTLE COAL
L. p. Official Denies kimball'S
1000 Car Statement.
C. +. Hedrix Makes Talk Be-
fore CO-Ops Today.
Club CHANGES LUNCH HOUR
IT Will Meet in Evening In
stead of at Noon.
Resolution Passed FayOring
Unjust Postal Rate Law.

LIN denying a published statement
credited to James A kimball state
manager, wherein Kimball asserted
that there were 900 cars of coal
sidetracked on the Union Pacific be-
tween Topeka and Salina Monday. c..
r. Hedrix, assistant superintendent OF
the Union Pacific, today said that the
road has less than a 2-day supply of
coal on hand for its own use.
Hedrix made his assertion before
the cooperative club luncheon today
when he was introduced as a guest
aud invited to talk.
:. '.I[imbaIl," said HedriX, may have
Counted 1000 cars, but they were not
cars loaded with coal"
The Union Pacific officials asserted
that the low supply of coal the rail-
roads are now experiencing has been
prevalent since the beginning of the
extreme low temperature. At one
time. he asserted, reduction in trans
portation was threatened.
At the club meeting today it was
voted to switch the meetings of the
club from the noon hour to 6 o'clock
in the evening in order to conserve
time demanded by the fuel admins
tration's hours of closing order.
A resolution demanding that the
present congress should not repeal the
new second class mail rate law was
also passed.
1.-THE action of the Cooperative club
shows that it is not familiar with the
matter of postage and transportation
of newspapers. Last December con-
gress passed a law effective next July.
Increasing the postage on newspapers
mailed to subscribers so per cent that
is. from l cent per pound to 1 Y cents
per pound.
1T is absurd to pass a resolution
saying that the advance in second class
rates. so far as daily newspaper circu-
lation is concerned, would only pay
about one-;hird of the cost of the
transportation. The proof of this lies
in the fact that express companies now
only charge newspapers one-half cent
per pound for transporting their pa
pers. Whatever loss there may be in
second class matter must lie in the
long haul; that is to say. the transport
tation especially of magazines 5000
miles across the continent from New
York to San Francisco at i cent per
pound. The bulk of the daily news

JAIL FOR ICE THEFT
Mutual Company Driver Sold Coupons,
Is the Charge.

Stealing ice coupons during the zero
weather is a mighty poor sort of sport.
Judge Rad Lee decided in the court
of Topeka today. E. G. Henderson
was charged with this offense. He
was sentenced to sixty days in the
county Jail, and was given an addi-
tional fine of SIS and also was obliged
to pay costs.
Henderson was employed by the
Mutual Ice company. He was charged
with stealing coupons, selling ice for

MEMORY is WORST
Is More Depressing Than Sight OF
Battle Horrors .at Time.

Behind British Lines in France,
Aug. 10-Neither fatigue duty nor
working parties are popular with the
soldier, but they serve a great pur-
pose because in modern war mans
greatest enemy is likely to be his own
imagination. In the heat OF action he
has no time for thought. The horrors
of war cannot force their way thru
his preoce6pied mind. But later.
when the excitement has died away.
the reaction sets in and realization
of the past begins to depress and
deaden his vitality, for the memories
of modern battle are more terrible
than the actual experience.
Action the Antidote.
The only antidote to this depression
lies in action and activity. Action
provides distraction for the mind. 1t
is this that the working party sup
plies. and in spite of the generally
abusive terms applied to IT by the SOL
der, 1T is really doing him a service.
1t is the British soldiers historic
privilege to complain, or grouse" as
he calls it. But his complainings
must not be taken to indicate a state
of low morale. Exactly the reverse,
for it is an unwritten law in the Brit
ish army that a man may complain
only when things are going well. In
danger and adversely, there is no COM
planning. only that dogged determine
ton which makes the British soldier
such Il formidable opponent.
