A new SOLDIERS KIT
Kansas Newspaper Woman to Intro
duce One at Funston.

Camp Funstor, Kan, May Airs.
A. L. Miller of Battle Creek, Mich, is
III Camp Funston to introduce at the
request of army officers the soldiers
kit which the women of Battle Creek
devised fer the six hundred Battle
Creek soldiers now in service.
Mrs. Miller is the wife of A. L. Mil
ler-"Bert' Miller-formerly of OF
taWa. Kan, who was editor of the
Ottawa Herald for many years. He
was associated with Henry ]. Allen in
the newspaper business at Ottawa and
later with Ralph Harris, the present
editor of the Herald. Mr.. Miller now
is publisher of the Battle Creek Ex-
aminer and the Battle Creek News.
When war YVES declared and Battle
Creek soldiers called the women and
the commanding officers planned a
comfort kit for the soldiers, a small
canvas case which will hold twenty
six articles for the soldiers toilet and
comfort. When packed it weighsrless
than two pounds and is carried on
the belt These comfort kits proved
SO popular Mrs. Miller, who helped to
design them, was asked to introduce
it at Camp Funston by officers who
had seen them.
While Mrs. Miller is engaged in
this work at her own expense, Mr..
Miller is devoting about one-half of
his time to war work in Michigan.

WITHDRAW, He SAYS
Progressive Leader in Kansas Calls
Upon c. f. Scott to Quit Race.

This is to be a troublesome season
for the candidate who has not estab-
lished a clear record on everything
that now concerns the war. Wherein
Charles F. Scott of lola, Republican
candidate for United States senate, has
already offered many explanations
and may discern a busy summer
ahead. Scott's trouble is the reap
pearance of editorials written after
the sinking of the Lusitania and SUBJ
sequent editorials indicating approval
of the German invasion Of Belgium.
Several attacks against Scott have
been directed from various sources.
Probably the most severe, however,
has come from Wellington, where w.
w. Schwinn has made public letter
to the lola publisher candidate. In
this letter Schwinn declares he started
into the campaign actively supporting
Scott Last winter Schwinn saw the
reproduction of an editorial from
SCOTS lola Register in which was a
justification of the sinking of the
LuSitania-
ION reading the editorials" Schwinn
wrote to Scott. II found that the
charge that you justified the sinking
of the Lusitania was not only proven
by the editorials, but that you seemed
to exult over the accomplishments of
this fiendish deed by the Germans"
Schwinn, who is a widely known
lawyer and was one of the leading
Progressives IN the Eighth district,
then calls upon NScott to withdraw
from the race. 1t is reported in To-
peka that Schwinn will make an
active fight on Scott in the Republi-
can primaries. He is said to favor
the nomination of w. r. Stubs
IF you are actuated by anything
other than personal ambition" says
the Schwinn letter, "if you sincerely
desire the success of the Republican
party at the next election, it seems to
ne that the very worst service you
could do the party is to procure your
nomination as its candidate for sena-,
tor. AS an American and as a Re-
publican you ought to withdraw from
the race"
Copies Of Scotts editorials were Cir
culated last winter. Schwinn.s attack,
however, is the most severe criticism
which the well known lola editor has
suffered. Scott went to Belgium as
the states representative on the re-
lief ship which carried Kansas flour
to the starving nation. 1t was his
letter justifylng German invasion of
Belgium ard the editorials in his lola
Register tending to justify the sink
ing of the Lusitania that now cause
the trouble in Republican senatorial
circles.

WILSON UP AND AT 'EM
Kansas Community Makes a Red Cross
and Liberty Loan Record.

Wilson, May 4.-The people of Will
son are proud of their Red Cross chap
ter. 1t is one of the largest in the
state, considering population. 1t num-
bers more than 1000. Mrs. c. l..
Banner is president, and is also chair
man of the women's third liberty loan
committee of Ellsworth county.
Ellsworth county is the only county
in the Sixth district to make prompt
daily reports of the third bond sales,
and reached its quota ahead of the
time allotted for the compaign. Since
the organization of the auxiliary of
the American Red Cross in Wilson
about a year ago the ladies have for
warded to the soldier boys more than
1890 pieces, consisting of knitted
sweaters and socks to all of their 100
boys in the environments and at the
front. Other articles, consisting of
pajamas, sheets, surgical aprons and
bandages have been made and sent to
the Red Cross headquarters.
More than 435 pairs of socks and
145 sweaters have been knit by the
members. In the surgical bandages
more than 200 safety pins were used.
Worthy of mention is the fact that two
of the oldest members are Mrs. Sam
uel Anspaugh and Mrs. Mark Eaton,
past so years old. have each knit sixty
pairs of socks. The Junior Red Cross
society is also thoroly organized and
is doing splendid work.

\ DESERVE THEIR HONORS
Junior Symphony Orchestra Concert
Was Well Worth While.

At its first public concert in Topeka
the Junior Symphony orchestra dem
onstrated it's ability to hold a loved
place in the hearts of Topekans and its
right to a place in the sun of Topeka s
esteem. The orchestra concert was
given at the Grand theater Friday
night to a house packed to standing
room only.
The program Friday night included
solo numbers by Master Robert Serv-
ice and little Miss Vera Squires. Both
of these young artists showed excep-
tional talent and promise to develop
into musicians of high degree. Mrs.
Muller appeared in a number of piano
solos which were we'll received by the
audience.
The Junior Symphony orchestra
was organized nine weeks ago tonight
by Daniel Muller of the Muller School
of Music as a means of keeping To-
peka's musical talent at home. The
organization includes in it's personnel
pupils of practically every teacher and
music. school in the city besides some
of the teachers themselves. The or
chestra is strictly a community or
ganizatien and is the first organiza-
ton of it's kind which has not sought
financial aid from the merchants
At the concert Friday night Muller
promised that the Junior Symphony
orchestra would appear in another free
concert in a few weeks.

EXPENSE IN DRAFT
Report Shows Cost of Work of
Boards in Kansas.
Nine Counties and One City
District-"AH Patriotism"

Kansans interested in the work of
the local and district draft board may
be their own judges of expenses in the
report issued by Maj. r. Neil RAIN,
disbursing officer for the government.
In the various counties the money
paid for selective draft service was
received by the county officials and
the clerks and assistants appointed by
them. Nine counties and one city
district handled the work on basis
of 100 per cent patriotism.
A humber of the boards reported
expenses for supplies only. The coun-
ties with a clear record include: Fin
ney. Gray. Greenwood. Hamilton,
Hodgeman, Kiowa, Ottawa, sherman
and Wallace. Kansas City district No.
2 also failed to charge for handling
the selective draft work. The record

NEW SOURCE OF LINEN
Old Map Tracings Found Valuable for
Red Cross Gauzc.

Los Angeles. May 4.-Old map
tracings are ending their career in
that capacity here and are entering
a new lease of life as surgical dress
ings. Somebody discovered. few
days ago, that there was a scarcity
of linen gauze, and happened to mem
ton the fact to Thomas w. Bulpin,
chief engineer of the Los Angeles
railways. Mr.. Bulpin and his deputies
checked over the tracings in their Of
flee, and found more than sixty
pounds of tracings on linen, which
latter when washed to eliminate
starch and ink yielded 648 square
yards of the finest linen.
All that is necessary, the Red Cross
here said, to make this linen fit for
use, is to wash and steriliZe it, and
no finer grade exists than that used
as a foundation for such tracings.
Mr.. Bulpin wrote to every architect
and civil engineer in the city, and
suggested that they go over their Of
fees and turn in any old tracings to
be salvaged. The Red Cross believes
that much valuable linen will thus be
made available.
The same plan, applied in other
cities it was pointed out, would prob
ably bring to the Red Cross thousands
of yards of fine gauze now worse than
useless, as it merely crowds files OF
mouldS on shelves.
