TALKS TO CO-0PS
Billy Says Early Peace AdvO-
Gates Are Traitors.
He Discusses Ruling Families
of the Central Powers.

I am not going to make war talk
today" So id "Whiz Bang Bill Biby
to the Cooperative club at the
Chamber of Commerce this noon. DIT
was a promise of sort. butt was
not carried out. Hardly had the
words left Biby's lips when he
launched into a hot denunciation of
the HohenzolIern and Hapsburg fami-
lies. the coming of the horde of propa-
gandists, the duty of the American
people in this war and the terms that
will determine the peace of the world.
when a man prominent in the life
of a community gets up on platform
and declares his beiief that the war
will end in l 8 months, that man is
no more nor less than traitor to the
United States and should be treated
as such, he said. 1t was perhaps the
most sensational statement that Billy
has yet uttered on platform, and
he backed his statement by mention
ing prominent man who made this
declaration on a Topeka platform a
shortstime ago.
Whip Huns to Knees.
There will never be peace until
Germany is whipped to her knees and
forced to beg for peace asserted
Biby at one point. land the United
States will never negotiate for terms
of peace until the Hohenzollerns and
the Hapsburgs have been sent to their
permanent residence in hell ST. Hell
ena won't do-hell is the only pla ce
where they can receive the proper
treatment
Biby then went on to relate the
history of the various diplomatic
duplicities of these two reigning
| houses, went into the details of the rise
of the Hohenzollern family to the i'm
perial throne in Germany and gave
faf H.
the different rulers of this family that
indicate the answering attitude of the
house to the nations of the world.
They are like Napoleon" declared
Blby, in that they believe that they
are the children destined to rule the
world
People Should Learn Truth
Biby cited a newspaper clipping that
stated that the official German news
paper had issued an editorial to the
effect that Germany was ready to talk
peace, but that of course it was
understood that Germany would re-
tain possession of Belgium inasmuch
as the allies had not been able to re-
tr1eVe the country from the hands OF
the central powers" mo American. u
| asserted Biby. will for one minute
consider any terms of peace that en-
able Germany to retain her possession
of this country, heroic and brave, .that
was the only stumbling block in the
! path of that monstrous German war
| machine that swept towards Paris in
August, 1914
Biby made plea to the members OF
the Cooperative club and to the citi-
zens of Topeka generally to place
| themselves in portion to get first
| hand information or the war. 1.-The
American government makes it pos
| sible for every citizen to obtain this
finformation first hand" stated Biby.

CHAPTER XVII.
A Letter From Bill.

All through the long night she lay awake, struggling with the incredible fact that Bill had left her; trying to absolve herself from blame; flaring up in anger at his unyielding attitude, even while she was sorely conscious that she herself had been stubbornly unyielding. If he had truly loved her, she reiterated, he would never have made 1t an issue between them. But that was like man-to insist on his own desires being made paramount {; to blunder on headlong, no matter what antagonisms he aroused. And he was completely in the wrong, she reasserted.
 She recapitulated it all. Through the winter he had consistently with drawn into his shell. For her friends and for most of her pleasures he had at best exhibited only tolerance. And he had ended by outraging both them and her, and on top of that demanded that she turn her back at twenty-four hours notice, on Granville and all it's associations and follow him into a will derness that she dreaded. She had full right to her resentment. As his partner in the clancy enterprise of marriage were not her feelings and de- sires entitled to equal consideration? He had assumed the role of dictator. And she had revolted. That was all. She was justified.
 Eventually she slept. At ten o'clock, heavy-eyed, suffering an intolerable headache. she rose and dressed.
 Beside her plate lay thick letter addressed in Bills handwriting. She drank her coffee and went back to the bedroom before she opened the en- velope. By the postmark she saw that 1t had been mailed on train.
The Prescott daily news., 1918-04-24

A few minutes after that Bill came In and took seat facing her.
 What are you going to do, HazelT he asked soberly.
 Nothing" she curtly replied.
 Are you going to sit down and fold your hands aHd let our air castles come tumbling about our ears, without mak- ing the least effort to prevenA?" he continued gently. "Seems to me that's not like you at all. I never thought you were Quitter."
 I'm not quitter," she flung back resentfully. II refuse to be brow beaten, that's all. There appears to be only one choice-to follow you like lamb. And I'm not lamblike. I'd say that you are the quitter. You have stirred up all this trouble here between us Now you're running away from it. That's how it looks to me- Go on! l can get along."
 "I dare say you can," he comment ed wearily. Most of us can muddle along somehow, no matter what hap pens. But it seems pity. little per son. We had all the chance in the world. You've developed an abnormal streak lately. If you'd just break away and come hack with me. You don't know what good medicine those old woods are. Won't you try it a while?"
 q am not by nature fitted to lead the hermit existence" she returned sarcastically.
 And even while her lips were utter ing these various unworthy little bit ternesses she inwardly wondered at her own words. It was not what she would have said, not at all what she was half minded to say. But devil of perverseness spurred her. She was full of protest against everything.
 'I wish we'd had a baby" Bill mur- mured softly. You'd be different. You'd have something to live for be- sides this frothy, neur0tic existence that has poisoned you against the good, clean, healthy way of life. l wish we'd had kiddie. We'd have fighting chance for happiness now something to keep us sane, something outside of our own ego to influence us."
 "Thank God there isn't onel" she muttered.
 "Ah, well," Bill sighed, q guess there is no use. guess we can't get together on anything. There doesnt t seem to be any give-and-take between us any longer"
 He rose and walked to the door. With his hand on the knob, he turned.
 "I have fixed things at the bank for you," he said abruptly. Then he walked out, without wait ing for an answer.
 She heard the soft whir of the ele- vator. A minute later she saw him on the sidewalk. He had an overcoat on his arm, suitcase in his hand. She saw him lift finger to halt n pass ing car.
 It seemed incredible that he should go like that. Surely he would come back at noon or at dinner time. She had always felt that under his gentle ness there was iron. But deep in her | heart she had never believed him so implacable of purpose where she was 1 concerned.
 She waited wearily, stirring with nervous restlessness from room to room.
 Luncheon passed. The afternoon dragged by to a close. Dusk fell And when the night wrapped Gran vile in its velvet mantle, and the street lights blinked away In shining rows she covered, sobbing, in the big chair | by the window.
 He was gone.
 Gone, without even saying good-by

 The nests are boiled either in chicken. broth or in milk of almonds. and the, result very much resembles vermicellfi soup, except that 1t is far more costly.

HOUSEWIVES GET SUGAR
TO PRESERVE FRUITS
New Ruling of Food Administration
Aimed at Savinu Of the Fruit
and Vegetable Crops

Housewives who have been lament
ING the prospect Of no canned fruit
or vegetables for the coming winter
on account Of the sugar shortage will
be glad To learn that Uncle Sam ha4
taken steps 10 remove the difficulties
in their path. County Food Admin
istraior Fred Sherman has received
instructions to issue permits on ap-
phcalion to persons wishing to put
mp food products Of that sort. which
permits will entille them to such
sugar as is necessary. While the
sugar shortage is still acute the GOV.
ernment would rather exhaust tho
supply still further than to permit
the loss Of the fruit crop of thn
country. especially as there is a
prospect that the sugar supply may
be considerably swelled about the
first of November with the coming
in Of the native crop, both beet and
cane.
Mr. sherman has at his office ON
Spruce street number of pamphlets
fro free distribution To first comers.
There are three of the pamphlets,
containing (l) recipes and sugges-
tions for the preservation Of fruits
and vegetables; (2l recipes and sug
gestions for the use of substitutes
in quick breads, pastry. cake and
yeast breads; (3l wheatless recipes
for bread and all other bakery pro-
ducts. The recipes are all govern
ment-approved and those who fol-
low them take no chance whatever
of violating any food regulation.
They are especially aimed at the
conservation Of wheat, sugar and
flour.
The making Of preserves and ie
lies is discouraged by the govern
ment, as calling for too much sugar,
but there are plenty Of other pro-
ducts that can he prepared from the
recipes. TO more than make mp for the
