From Vornzeele westward there has
been no fighting except around Locre.
where the French have been stoutly
withstanding the enemy. A foothold
was gained in Locre Saturday by the
enemy and they are reported making
ready for another effort to drive the
French northward. Locre and the
road running northward separate

These two heights are links in the
chain of hills running westward from

pose evidently is to drive the French
before them and take the elevations

The question of morale is always
uppermost. After inspection on Sat

great square with the band standing
a little to one side. A song master
takes his place in the square and leads
the men in popular melodies with the
band playing a. subdued accompani-

singing lessons are those given to mon

Allen says, nevertheless the men give
it particular attention as a variation

'cantonment here; and consequently
get more out of it,.
Singing in a field camp generally
resolves itself into one or two regi-

one and then a, series of scamp fire
songs" in which the men gather
around the blazing logs in traditional
style and sing literally anything and
everything. from grand opera to rag
time. And there are men in nearly
every regiment who have made a
living singing both.

Historic China and Alaska's Wonders.
Two Big Features of Production.

Among the many interesting things
shown in Lyman H. Howe's Travel
Festival, which will be presented at

starting tonight at $40. is the manner
in which Chinese commercial men use
to advantage the human slaves of the
Orient-the coolies. Tho nominally
not in bondage, they have to labor for
twelve hours per day and receive as
compensation 1 cent per hour, living
in squalor in floating cities of boats.
The film of China also shows exciting
dragon-boat racing, an odd Chinese
wedding. rare interior glimpses of the
Forbidden City. sacred tombs of the

things of the celestial empire.

APPEAL TO HOOVER
Governor. Capper Asks for Higher
Market Prices to Farmer.

Higher market prices should be at
forded for the farmer and the stock
man, according to statement winch
Governor Capper has made in letter
to Herbert Hoover federal food dlrec-
tor. Present high prices faced by the
farmers and the market price for his
livestock does not leave reasonable
margin. the governor declared IN
fact he stated that in many instances
the stockman is facing an actual loss
The appeal especially affects the
stockman who markets cattle, hogs
and sheep
In his appeal to the federal food
director, the governor said in part:
within the last few days it has
been my privilege to talk with many
preventative farmers and stockmen
of Kansas and its adjoining states.
They are of one opinion, and that is at
the present prices of corn and other
feeds necessary in pork production,
the man who is feeding hogs faces ac-
tuaI loss. This also is true of the
cattle feeder.
"The prices being paid the produc-
ers are not sufficient to provide a
profit when present feed prices are
paid: and with the price of corn stead
lily advancing while pork prices are
just as steadily declining. it is not to
be wondered at that the farmers of
Kansas and other states are sending
thousands of lightweight hogs and
cattle to the packers inste- ; of finish
ing them as they should be finished;
nor is it to be wondered at that in
stead of increasing the number of bred
SowS and gifts kept on the farms the
average farmer is disposing of his sur
plus stock and is increasing his corn
acreage, believing. that with corn to
be somewhere around the 81 mark
next fall, much greater profit can be
realized thru the sale of grain than
thru feeding operations. 1t is plain
that unless something is done to slim
ulate pork production and put a stop
to the selling of brood sows we shall
face an alarming shortage in meat
production next. YEAR.

CLEAN UP NEXT WEEK
Topekans Asked to Gather Up Their
Yard Trash and Refuse.

Days set for the annual city clean
up are Friday and Saturday, March
1 5 and Is. Topekans are expected on
those days to clean their yards, and on
the Monday following carts will begin
their annual round of picking up
trash, cans, cinders, brush. cast-off
clothing, etc. The task of hauling
away the trash will be greater than
usual this season, on account of the
increased mass of cinders by reason
of the use of coal fuel this year.
Last year $500 loads were hauled.
The practice of having school children
write prize essays has been diScon-
tinued this year on account of the lack
of facilities in the park commissioner s
office for handling the papers sub
mitted.
