Mayfower or if he claims descent
from Pocahontas; he is PROC erman
if he helps Germany prolong the war.
Anyone who boards food is help
ing Germany and is pro-German.
"After May 15 we will requisition
all -four boarded by pro-Germans
At present patriotic Americans are
returning excess stores. Some are
returning all their -four and are CO.
ing on wheatless ration until next
harvest.
THAT their loyalty will not be in
vain we have paid investigators work
ing now, on the -four situation. Veal
so have 5000 volunteers, situated in
every community in Kansas, who are
giving US accurate information. With
their aid we are listing stores of
boarded flour and already we know
where much is stored. We are giving
until May 15 for anyone to voluntari-
ly give up excess hoardings and be-
lieve most Kansas will do so. But
pro-Germans must not complain If
they are publicly disgraced after May
Is bylhaving their excess stores re-
Questioned by the government.
81 would ask anyone who wishes to
volunteer information, to make re-
ports only after they are in possess
ion of the\ facts. Report to the state
officer or to your county administrat-
or after facts are complete. Reports
should not be made when there is
nothing but rumor to base an investi-
cation on, for such rumors are often
the result of spite work"

YOUR DUTY AS A CITIZEN

Do you feel on your shoulders the
responsibility which citizenship hangs
on the neck of every American?
Are you prepared to shoulder that
responsibility?
Do you know how to prepare?
These are vital questions at this
time. We might go still further and
ask the Question, "Do you know what
the responsibility of each American
is?
From a military standpoint the
obligations or responsibilities of each
American are both legal and moral.
Legally it is the obligation on the
part of a citizen to give military SER
vice in time of war, if called upon to
do so.
Morally, it is an obligation on his
part to prepare himself to do mans
full share.
Why? Because it is fundamental
principle of government that the OBJ
legation between the state and the
citizen is mutual. The state protects
the person and the property of the
citizen, who, in turn, must lend his
help to protect the state.
We depend upon the country not
only for our livelihood but for our
liberty-and there is a price to pay
for both.
Few, of any, of our citizens, who
are connected with some of the mill
tary organizations of the country,
are familiar with our army, its
branches or its uses.
Nor are they familiar with the
enormous load that that badly of men
will have to carry if the enemy sue
ceeds in making an attack upon our
shores.
Do you realize. that science has
made of our once greatest security, a
detriment? AT one time we were
geographically secure. Today we
have reduced the width of the oceans
to mere ponds and have made them
avenues of transportation that would
furnish determined enemy with the
cheapest method of transportation
known.
To make our shores secure we need
a million more well drilled and equip
ped men to insure the defeat of an
enemy and his expulsion from our
shores.
The small regular army cannot do
this. The National Guard cannot do
this. Together they cannot do this.
How, then, can it be done? 1t can
be done by training our citizens and
preparing them for soldiers. We can
do this by organizing the state guards
in every state in the union.
NOW is YOUR CHANCE. Your
country calls you. Call on Captain
Richards at the Beatty Dental Office
any evening from to p. m. He will
tell you how to go about it.

should not have more than twelve
pounds of flour on hand at and time.
Twelve pounds is months supply
for family of two and to have more
than months supply is boarding,
A family of two should not buy flour
by the 24-pound sack but by the
twelve-pound sack. A family of four
should not have more than twenty
four pounds of flour on hand at any
one time. If they buy bakers bread
they should not have more than eight
pounds of flour on hand at any time.
A family of four using bakers bread
should make purchases in eight-pound
lots instead of the twenty-four pound
sack. Grocers are ordered not to sell
more than a months requirement for
the family. Many grocers Of Kansas
already are refusing to make sales to
families who are already supplied and
such grocers have the support of the

ARE GOING AFTER
THE FLOUR MISER
There Will Be No More Hoarding.
Every Hun Helper Must Give
y Up His Store

Replying to pro-German reports
that we will soon suffer a flour ia
mine in this country, Walter P. lines,
U. 5. Food Administrator for Kan
sas, said today, such reports are I'M
founded, and that if every individual
lives within the limit of one and a
half pounds of -four consumption a
week, we will have enough in Kan
sas until after harvest.
Steps are being taken to see that
every person lives within the limit
and that on May Is all boarded flour
is to be requisitioned by the Gov
eminent and redistributed for do
nestle consumption.
More German Propaganda
Certain persons with German lean
ings have whispered it about that
there is to be no flour soon. Even
some store keepers had aided this
German propaganda by telling their
customers there is to be -four short
age. The object of spreading such
rumors as to induce persons to hoard
this important food.
Here is Food Administrator lines
statement:
Here Are the Orders:
practically all the flour mills are
working on government contrasts.
They are milling for the allies or for
our troops and are selling direct to
the United States Food Administra-
ton.
"The mills already have produced
enough flour to last us until harvest
If every person does the right thing.
The right thing is to live on maxi
mum of one and half pounds of
flour per person per week. Families
where bakers bread is used should
limit themselves to one-half of
pound of flour per person week.
When the breadwinner eats his lun-
cheon down town he should not eat
any white bread or other food con-
tanning flour at the eating house, I'M
less the purchases of the month at
home are reasjusted to allow for the
flour he consumes downtown.

ROAD TO CEMETERY
SHOULD BE KEPT UP

A few weeks ago there was an ap-
peal in all of the papers asking the
people to clean up their yards and
back alleys.
A good many did this, but there
were more that did not. am sure
that everybody likes to have nice
front yard and nearly everybody likes
to have a clean house to live in, why
do we want a dirty back yard and al
ley?
have noticed a great many peo-
pie have loaded up their trash and
started to the dump with it with good
intentions Of going there, but some
way failed to get there, only going
half way, dumping the rubbish along
the road.
And this would not have been
quite as bad if it were not the road
that leads to one of the most sacred
places on earth, and that is the city
of the dead. We all love the spot
where some of our loved ones lie.
We have been working hard to get
the Liberal Cemetery to look like the
cemeteries of other towns, and to
have the road that leads to this place
covered with the old tin cans and
rubbish that you did not want in your
back yard is a disgrace. wish the
county authorities would put STOP
to this as l believe there is law
against dumping trash along the pub
lie highways.
Take a drive out by the fail
grounds and see if you think it look!
like one of the drives that should leaC
to cemetery of city of four thous'
and.
Yours truly,

Substitutes.

The Germans are feeding
On substitute meat,
The flour they are kneading
Is substitute wheat.
Their cattle they fodder
On substitute hay.
And life's growing Odder
And odder each day.
They smoke-with great lOathlng-
Their substitute weeds,
And substitute clothing
Is made for their needs;
They've substitute money
And substitute cheese
And substitute honey
From substitute bees.
They settle their quarrels
By substitute law,
Their substitute morals
Cause deeds that are raw
Their car wheels are creak1ng
With substitute grease
And now they are seeking
A substitute peace.
And when they are peeved by
Real woe and distress,
They're tricked and deceived by
A substitute press; ,,, too
Their thoughts and their ways, TOO
Are sure to be odd
While Kaiser Bill prays to
A substitute God!
