ORWIN GRAY PROBABLY -
ON THE WAY TO FRANCE

Orwin C. Gray, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
T. L. Gray, has written his parents
that he expected to leave any day
for port Of embarkation. A message
received later announced that he was
leaving.
1t is announced that 1000 air
planes had arrived in France and this
will call for. many aviators. It is
not at all unlikely that young Gray
will soon be dropping bombs on Ger
man villages, an occupation that we
should desire above all others.

THE BOND SALE GOING
FINE IN THIS COUNTY
People Subscribing Literally and
Workers. Are Making Good

The Fourth Liberty Bond Drive is
going mighty fine in this county. At
the present time there has been sub
scribed $70,650. There are still a
number of workers to hear from, and
it is more than likely that the end of
the week will see the subscriptions
above the quota.
This does not mean that anyone
can lay off. We want to exceed the
quota by a good margin, and cannot
do it unless all do their full share.
Just because someone else gives is no
reason why another should refuse.
Keep the good work going and put
Seward way over the top.

practical solution of either will
amount to remedy for both and will
strengthen and enhearten the people
amazingly for all the trials and, de-
mands of the war.
"The shocking report of the federal
trade commission further emphasizes
the force and truth of your statement
of May II to congress, that informa-
fiteering is available and indisput-
able. and justifies my appeal to you
of six months ago for relief ON behalf
of the people of Kansas. This state
has suffered previously and is suffer
ing more and more seriously, from
widespread and excessive profteering
by all the big industrial gougers.
Eventually this will defeat all our
efforts, unless thorogoing and drastic
regulation of the big industries can
soon be effected. More than all other
problems of the war, the one of reach
ing the brigands of profit who are
demanding excessive toll from their
country and their countrymen, at this
critical time, is giving the people of
Kansas deep concern and anxiety.
"Kansas wishes to do more not less.

KANSAS BACK OF NATION IN
FIGHT ON PROFrTTERS
Fitness of Nation Depends on Solution
of Profiteering Problem and
Equitable Financing of War

In a letter sent to the president by
Governor Capper yesterday, assur-
ance was given that Kansas would
stand behind the federal government
to a man in its fight against the prof
iteers of the country. The governor in
his letter to the president says the re-
port of the federal trades commission
has shocked the nation, and that Kan
sas, state that has been a
heavy sufferer, is solidly back of him
in any course he may take to grapple
with and curb these big proiteers-
Governor Capper's letter to Presl-
dent Wilson follows:
president Woodrow Wilson, Wash
ington, d. C.
kansas will support you to man
i'll any course you may take to grapple
with the profiteers, who prey on their
country and their countrymen, in this
time of need. They are doing more to
hamper US than all the devices of the
enemy by making the necessities of
life and industry cost more than the
people can earn. To be shamelessly
and continually exploited for the
necessaries of living by great COM
mercial plunderbund, which they and
they sons are defending in war that
taxes their every resource, is an out
rage on the patriotism of the people,
too intoIerable to be borne Such in
satiable greed will stop at nothing
short of stern and drastic compulsion-
Solution to Help Morale
"Our continued fitness in the middle
west, depends on speedy solution of
the profiteering problem and the equi-
table financing of the war, or upon .
thoroly effective solution of the prob
lem of price regulation, which shall
