He was four years old and was sent
to the grocery to get can of beans
for the Monday lunch. The youngster
was fond of this dish and after the can
was opened and the contents emptied
into dish took particular pains to
place the beans near his plate. He
soon had helped himself to a fair por-
ton and just as soon had eaten it. He
helped himself the second time and
had just finished the third helping
when his father, seeing what he was
doing, suddenly said:
"Son, are you not going to eat any
thing with your beans?" And the lad
quietly remarked: "Yes, pass the salt

Food Administration Calls Upon Kan
sans to Market the Old Crop
by May 1.

The Kansas Council of Defense
adopted a resolution the other day
calling upon the farmers of Kansas
to sell their 1917 crop of wheat at
once and get it into the mills to pro-
vide flour for America and the Allies.
1t is estimated there is nearly two
million bushels of wheat still in the
bins of the farmers in Kansas. Wal
ter P. Innes, state food administrator
told the council the Food Administra-
ton was going to allow the farmers
the month of April to get their old
wheat to the markets, and after May 1
the government was prepared to COM
mandeer it and bring it into the mar
kets at once. If the government has
to go and get the wheat the farmers
will be charged with drayage and the
expenses the government has been put
to to get it. The Food Administra-
tion has information as to where most
of this wheat is at the present time.
It has been gathering information
for some time about farmers who are
boarding wheat and when the time
comes to clamp down it will be done
promptly. Some farmers are known
to have not only all of their 1917
crop, but all or part Of the crops of
several previous years. Some farm
ers have been boasting that the gov
ernment couldn't have their wheat
and the government is prepared to
demonstrate its ability to get the
grain when it wants it. Inspectors
are now gathering the information
needed to carry on the commander
ing of the old wheat.

NEW YORK CELEBRATES.

NEW YORK, Nov 7.-Sophisticat- ed New York became delirious with joy today over the unfounded report that Germany had agreed to armistice terms which meant unconditional sur render. The celebration seemed a combination of Fourth of July, cleo tion night, New Years eve, Thanks giving day and Christmas.
 The excitement which seized the city's millions at the word peace" was picturesque and ear-splitting, but as realization grew that it was. pre- mature, its tragic side came forward.
 Not all the celebrators had joined in the hilarious flag-waving, horn blowing, impromptu parades. Thou sands of fathers, mothers, wives and sisters went into every church with open doors to offer prayers of grati- tude because they thought the fight ing had ceased.
 These were some of the results of the peace" report:
 Police Commissioner Enright or dere the city's giant sirens to sound the tidings and al the other whistles and bells in the city followed suit.
 Mayor Hylan ordered all city offices closed for the day and issued proc
