he has chosen for his home and
which he helps to build up, an at
titude which cannot be expected of
an Englishman who lives in a place

CONCERNING HEALTH

The report made by county health
officer n. Z. Winnard of the cases OF
small poX in the Eight Mile country
is burdened with more than usual
significance at this time. A small
pox epidemic at any time is bad
thing, but now, when the Govern
ment is making every effort to safe
guard the health not only of the
soldiers, but of the prospective sol
diers as we'll, it would be much
worse. The fact that there We're
cases of small poX, that the imme-
diate family knew it was small poX
and that the neighbors knew it was
small pox, and yet none reported il
to the proper authorities, does not
reflect very much credit upon the
community. Failure to report cases
of contagious diseases to the health
| officers is a punishable offense, and
such failures should be prosecuted

demands, which will be fully con-
sidered by the proper authorities,
there was no excuse, whatever for
such behavior.
The action of these men was a dis
grace from any angle it'can he con-
sidered. They broke their word in
regard to striking and they placed
their petty grievances ahead of the
lives of our boys in F.ance
These men have soft JOBS at home
at big pay and the time has arrived
to call spade spade.
Action such as theirs, in the army,
would be called desertion and the
offenders would have been severely
dealt with. An individual who would
delay construction on 26 ships for
two days to the great aid of the
kaiser, would be called "a traitor.
AS an American citizen you can
classify the action of strikers in a
case like this to suit yourself.

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
GETTING ACQUAINTED

Minds Of Americans are so cen
tered in France as the actual field OF
battle that they are apt to overlook
the fact that many thousands of our
troops do not 60 direct to that coun-
trv. but land first at English or
Scotch ports, undergo training for
considerable period in British camps
and finally 90 to France by the Chan
mel route which is used by the British
army. 1t is reported that American
troops are billeted at no less than 50
places in Great Britain.
This arrangement has brought
about relations which may have last
ing effect on the future intercourse
of the two Nations and on their at
titude toward each other, 1t has
brought together large number OF
average Representatives of the AM
erican people and the great mass OF
the British people under circum-
stances which predispose them to
friendship and mutual understand

.on the stage. We have formed little
acquaintance with the great body of
Representative Britons, who are the
middle class. Our soldiers are now
getting to know them and to like
them. They are also learning the
sterling good qualities Of the aristoc-
Tracy in general at one extreme and
of the working people in general at
the other extreme of the social scale,
and that the stage lord and stage
iworkingman are freaks or carica-
fures.
p! American soldiers, on the other
hand are opening the eyes OF the
Britons to the true character of tho
average American. / Having been

WHAT WOULD YOU CALL 1T?

The city of Oakland, California
recently witnessed the disgraceful
spectacle of $500 union boiler ma
kers and iron shipbuilders, striking
and tying up construction work Oh
some 26 ships for two days
The matter was over a technecality
in regard to some back wages due
under a. government award in Feb
ruary, at which time the men agreed
not to strike during the war but
submit their troubles to arbitration.
The word of the government was
behind the whole proposition but the
men struck anyway and have further
notified the government and ship
yards that they will strike again

JESS IS NOT FAT KEEPS MEN CLEAN
He Says He Can Soon Get Into
Fighting Condition.
Fulton Again in Position To
Challenge Him.

New York, Jan. 12.-Contrary to
general belief among the boxing bugs
of the country. Jess Willard, the
worlds heavyweight champion, does
not weigh a ton.
SSnce Jess came out with his an
nouncement a short time ago that he
would defend his title for the benefit
OF the Red Cross or some other war
time organization it has developed
that Willard has been carrying no
more than fifteen to twenty pounds
of surplus avoirdupois, and that he
would have little trouble getting into
shape insofar as the weight Is con-
csrned.
At the time of his offer to meet
any man for the title several proml-
uent followers of boxing in Chicago
were surprised beyond measure to
see Willard appear in gym costume,
apparently carrying no more than
five or ten pounds excess baggage
They could scarcely believe their eyes
Has Worked Regularly
Willard explained at the time that
he has not permitted himself to grow
fat and flabby. He says he has taken
enough exercise to keep his weight
down to point where it is WITHIN
easv reach any time he is called upon
TO train for cham piOnsh1p battle,
and with this fact in view the box
ing fans are entertaining a hunch
that the big cowboy is still capable or
taking care of his crown
Willard may not be as good now
as he was when he met Jack john

BASKETBALL DROPPED
washburn Will Have No Team In Con-
ference Race This Season.

For the first time in many many
years Washburn college will have no
basketball team in the Kansas con-
ference race this season Announce
ment TO this effect was made by the
college authorities today following
conference at which it was decided
that the goal tossing sport will be tenn
porarily given up as Il war economy.
Low finances in the athletic asSo-
citation Golfers and a lack of interest
and material are among the causes
given for the abandonment of the
sport 1t was estimated that the COL
Iege would have to raise approx
nateIy SIS a game for all contests
played in Topeka and there was no
possibility to make this up on road
trips, DR.. Kennedy said.
The decision to abandon the sport
came after DR.. Kennedy and Profess
sor De Beukelaer, basketball coach,
had arranged a tentative schedule.
Prof. De Beukelaer announced today
that there will be inter-class and in
ter-fraternity games and that the col
lege team will try TO arrange u sche-
dule OF games with Topeka teams, in
cIudfng the Y. NJ c. A. teams, the
