 Two rooms over the City Hall have been offered by MT. w. L. Hill. the we'll known Piano man and most thankfully accepted.

 A Red Cross service flag has been paced in almost every busi- ness house and home in Brinkley. in most instances additional crosses show that every member of the family has enlisted. The business houses also display the flag with stickers for their employees. The school has a service flag in every room, and a membership of 96.

cIexerness of chinese.

It Is acknowledged that the Chinese are very skillful in making confection- cry and possess the reputation of hay ing many secrets. They are able to empty an orange of its pulp entirely, then fill 1t up with fruit jelly without one being able to find the smallest cut in the rind or even tiny hole. Indeed. they even empty an egg in this manner and fill it with a sort of almond nougat without one being able to find the slightest break or inclsion in the shell.

One's Career.
 Strictly speaking, every life is q career because 1t is course that is run from start to finish, but as gen orally used the term implies an un- usual life record, something excep- tional and out of the ordinary, says a professor. Childhood Is a period of life, but it is not career. Ones career Is the life one lives and the record one makes whether 1t becomes known to the public or not. The term public career is applied to lives large ly spent in the public service.

ODESSA IS TAKEN
UncOnfirmed Dispatches Report
Occupation of the City.
Petlura, Anti-German and Sep
aratist, Is the Leader.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Dec 18-Unconfirmed re-
ports have reached London that Odes-
sa, the great Russian seaport on the
Black sea, has been occupied by the
forces of the Ukrainiah leader. Pet
lura, who is anti-German and a sep
aratist.
BeAted dispatches from The As
ISOLATED Press correspondent at
Odessa dated December 10 and IL,
report the arrival of Petlura forces
before Nikolaiev. northeast OF Odessa
on December 10. The Russian volun-
teer forces there retreated and the
Germans refused to interfere. The
banks there put their money on board
British .destroyers in the Black sea
and the city now is probably in the
hands of General Grigorieff, of the
Petlura forces.
The situation was reported to be
approximately the same at Odessa, ex-
cept that Petlura himself was in
charge of a force marching on that
city. There is an abnormal popula-
ton in Odessa of more than 100000,
one-third of whom are refugees from
great Russia.
The working and middle classes, il
is reported are favorable to the cause
of Petlur1, who advocates the extern.
sion of Ukrainian territory into the
Ruthenian portions of Galicia. His
followers have distributed proclama
lions announcing war against the
Ukrainian government, the capitals
and the land owners
The British and French forces il
Odessa have erected defensive
barbed wire about the principa

taken from the Germans, but other
wise it is said will not interfere in the
fighting in Odessa. The presence il

HAD CITY'S FIRST HOUSE
Washington H. Chick Dies at Kansas
City Today.

Kansas City, Dec. 1S.-Washington
H. Chick, who lived in the first home
built in Kansas City, died at his resi-
dence here today. He was 90 years
old and had lived in this city for 81
years.
Mr. Chick came to Westport in 1886
with his parents, who were natives of
Virginia. The family lived there until
1912, when they moved into French
settlement in the Kaw bottoms. His
father established a store in the west
bottoms and in 1914 began the con-
struction OF what was Kansas City S
first residence. The great flood of
1874 came while the house was being
built, swept away the French settle
ment, but left the Chick house stand
ing alone. That house later became
Kansas City's first postofflce. 1t was
known to all river pilots as land
mark in the gold rush and guided
them around the bend in the river.
The house was torn down in 1875.
