THE WOMAN'S PART IN
THE SAVINGS CAMPAIGN

The women of Kansas, who have
been an ever-present help in the car
rying forward of movements worth
while as affecting the public welfare,
are expected to assume a large share
of the burden of putting over the
War-Savings campaign. While the
educational forces of the state are
lending heroic cooperation in the
teaching of the essentials of thrift
and patriotism to the children, it is
certain that in the homes of the peo-
pie the lessons learned are to be tried
out and put to practical use. 1t is up
to the women, therefore, to make this
campaign a success and to make
thrift reality.
Within the next thirty days it is ex-
pected that about every woman's club
society or association in the state
besides tens of thousands of women
who are not organlZed-wlll be active
ly Engaged in the War-Savings cam
paign and helping to lay the fOunda-
tions for thrift and economy.
A War-Savings society may be or
ganized with ten or more members
and upon application a certificate Of
affiliation with the National War
Savings Committee will be issued.
While there should be societies or
ganized in every school, or in every
school room, they should be formed
among the social and culture clubs,
among the Parent Teacher associa-
tions and Mothers clubs, city feder-
atoms, as well as among employees
in stores, offices, factories and among
housewives.

ager Warner explained that a little
south Of Broadway the company had
q high pressure regulator and an
other intermediate line at the corner
of Cedar and s. Military streets. In
addition to these lines, practically all
the city lines are fed today from the
new six-inch main which was connect
ed recently. Then there Is another
high pressure regulator at the cor
ner of North and Military streets
and another one at an alley, between
Military and Main. south Of Sherman
street.
"You see that with all these high
pressure regulators and the extra
supply Of gas. gas shortage in Bax-
ter Springs is almost an impossible
ity. Any other trouble must be con-
sidered as local." said Mr.. Warner.

RED CROSS YARN AT LESS
THAN HALF PRESENT PRICE
Notice Received from Headquarters
Says Supply Will Be Sent
Into Kansas at $40

Yarn for Red Cross knitters is to
be received by local chapters in Kan
sas direct from st. Louis headquart-
ers at less than half the price charged
by retailers in Kansas, according to
a letter received by Governor Capper
yesterday from George W. Simmons,
manager of the southwestern division
of the Red Cross, in response to the
governors effort in protesting
against high prices Kansas Red Cross
chapters were forced to pay for ma
terial.
Knitting yarn will be shipped to
local chapters in Kansas for $2.lO a
pound from he st. Louis headquar-
tiers. The Red Cross purchased about
Sc, 100000 worth of wooden yarn early
last summer on the basis Of the mar
ket prevailing at that time. This yarn
is a better quality than much which
is being sold frcm $500 to $500 a
pound at the present time by those
retailers who have been able to pick
up small lots Of it here and there,
and much of this supply will be de-
livered to local Kansas chapters in
quantities at least sufficient to sup
ply the needs, based on previous
work.
The National Red Cross associa-
ton was recently appealed to by Gov
ernor Capper for relief from excess
sive prices. Kansas retailers were
charging $4.40 a pound for yarn,
which price Governor Capper believed
was excessive. Mr.. Simmons agrees
that $4.4O a pound for knitting yarn
is excessive, and will furnish to the
local chapters through the divisional
headquarters.

WOMEN SUE DISLOYAL ...... ......
HUSBANDS FOR DIVORCE

In u disvorce suit filed in Leaven-
worth county yesterday, Mrs. Edith
Johnson charged her husband,
Charles H. Johnson, with being n
German sympathizer and disloyal to
the government in his talk. She says
he made the statement that, should
he be sent to war, he would shoot
American soldiers instead of Ger
mans.
The case was reported to Fred Rob
ertson, United States district attor-
ney, who telephoned United States
Marshal o. T. Wood to arrest John
son. The sheriff Of Leavenworth
county was called and told to take
johnson, who lives on farm between
Leavenworth and Lansing, into Gus
tody. II Johnson proves to be an
alien enemy, he will be thrown into
Jail at once, as an enemy Of the gov
eminent has no court rights and q
warrant for his arrest would be un-
necessary, but if he is an American
citizen, warrant charging him with
seditious utterances will follow.
At the same time Mrs. Johnson was
filing her divorce suit and making the
charge of disloyalty against her hus-
band, Mrs. Joe Ficklo, of Kansas City
Kas., was filing q similar complaint
against her spouse. Mrs.Ficklo
charges that her husband is not on
ly an Austrian, but an unspokcn en-
envy of the United States. Robertson
caused Ficklo's arrest at once, and he
is now in Jail.

PLENTY OF GAS IN BAXTER

The gas trouble, which a good many
residences of this city are having to-
day is attributed to local defects and
not to the supply Of gas, by manager
Warner Of the Baxter Gas company.
One man reported this morning
that it took him nearly three hours
to fry an egg on the gas stove, which
indicated that The flow Of gas must
have been very low. When the resi-
denee Of this particular man was told
to the manager he said it was impOs-
sible, only that there must be some
thing wrong locally.
This house is located in the south
part Of the city, only three blocks
south Of the present gas offie& Man

TRIED IN JONES COURT

The Blue Mound booze case is to
be tried in Jones court in Baxter this
evening at $50. A taxi driver and
two passengers were arrested a few
days ago in the act of unloading
suitcase of booze at house in Blue
Mound district. The taxi driver
claims that he did not know that the
passengers "a man living in Blue
Mound and his wife, had booze in
their suit case. They were seen I'M
loading the goods at this mans home,
by Sid Frasier, son of Bob Frasier,
the sheriff, and a deputy, they ar
rested the three people at once and
took them to Columbus. The case is
to be tried this evening.
The case against Walter Thomas
was tried this morning and dismissed.
Mr.. Chubb, the owner of the Erie
TOWNSHIP, brought the suit against
Thomas. 1t was claimed that the de-
PENDANT built several houses in Erie
and borrowed 100000 from Mr..
Chubb on the house; then it is alleged
to have sold the houses to Claud
Greene and kept all the money. 1t
seems further that the material that
went into the houses was not paid
either. The case was dismissed on
account of mistake made in filing
same. Rosenstein is the attorney for
Mr.. Chubb, and McNeal for the de-
PENDANT.

Frazee paid a fancy price in the
first place for an American League
franchise. He discovered that back
ing a ball club in Ban Johnson's cir
cult was no idle pleasure, with cheers
at the end of each chapter. He dis
covered that his temperamental ath-
letes had all the whims OF stage stars,
with more in addition.
Last spring he spent some $4,000
for enough players to make his club
a pennant winner. Facing the poor
est OF prospects. IT took financial
nerve to turn that trick.
Then, in the middle OF the short
ened campaign, Frazee had to pay
bonuses TO three of his necessary
athletes. That was tough enough.
for the athletes practically knocked
him down and took the money away
from him. But, to rub It in. the
whole COMPOUNDED team held him up
for two weeks salary. threatening
to refuse to play the 1918 worlds Sc
ries unless their demands were salts
fed
Yes, Frazee has learned much in a
brief time. and the betting is that

served up with snappy battle.
While both teams made four errors
the boots were excusable as the
ground was somewhat rough.
Both teams scored in the first in
ming, and the battle was an evenly
contested affair until a break gave
the Navy Yard men their two runs.
The Yarders failed to hit Kelly to
any degree OF safety, but were smart
er on the bases and a bit faster
afield.
OF the teams displaying wares in
the Union League battles the Navy
Yard men appear to have something
on the others.

Cox L. Optimistic.

Charles Il. Cox, graduate manager
Of athletics at Georgetown University,
has returned from his vacation filled
with optimism. even IL the Blue and
Cray institution has suspended regu-
larly-organized varsity football for the
duration OF the war.
Georgetown, with many other col
leges all over the country, will have
students assigned to 1t by the Govern
ment this year" gays Cox" While all
our plans are extremely vague, never
theless, IT seems a practical certainty
that athletics will be doomed by the
Governmental authorities.
"of course. the peculiar character
istics of varsity competition may be
absent, but It Is quite likely that wen
have q lot Of football, basketball, and
track sports at the Hilltop this win
ter. II things go as ! expect them to
do, Georgetown should have a busy
sport season, meeting all the service
teams from the nearby camps.

the veteran second baseman of the
American League champions may
not play against the Cubs. He has a
wounded digit on his throwing hand,
received in practice.
II Shean is not used at second base,
Jack Coffey will replace him. with
Fred Thomas taking his. old berth at
