Tomorrow Is Designated AS
"Victory Day. for Crawford

Icept estate and inheritance tax and
from normal federal tax.
The county's quota in the fourth
loan was 81, 1,630,700 and $1,734,600 was
sold.
Denison's quota of the last loan was
placed at $1S0,OO0 and $2S1,S50 was
sold.
With so much dependent on the sue
cess of the loan, there is no room in
this country for. shirkers OF any de-
scription. The man or woman who
fought worked or bought bonds dur
ing the war, certainly will do his or
her part now, for the work of putting
lover the, Victory Liberty loan is just
las essential, just as Indispensable and
Just as vital to the welfare of the
country as were the efforts made by
a united people to win the war.
The government has borrowed sew
eral billion dollars in anticipation Of
the Victory Liberty loan. From the
proceeds of the loan this money will
be paid back, and the use of this vast
amount will be available for normal
business purposes. There will be an
end of business uncertainty, as the
nation will have clean slate, and
there will be no barrier to the expan-
sion of business.
, Conditions are right for the great
est era of prosperity this country has
ever seen, but to remove all uncer-
tainty and pave the way for the re-
turn of normal conditions, the people
must share to the end in the govern
ment's job of liquidating the cost Of
victory. 1t is desirable from every
standpoint that the securities of the
Victory Liberty loan be distributed as
widely as possible.
The benefits of such distribution
will react to the benefit of every indi-
vidual. Business will be able to Sc
cure the use of free capital, and can
then go ahead under full head of
steam. This will mean general en-
ployment at high wages, with all
classes sharing in the prosperity.
From the standpoint of self interest
alone the Victory Liberty loan should
have the support of every business
man and every employe.
Above all other considerations will
be that of patriotism.
If the deepening of the spirit Of ma
tional self consciousness, which was
the result of the war, and the welding
of our people into one harmonious
and united nation, means anything, it
means that the possibilities, and
obligations of citizenship are perma-
nent. A united nation, mobilized for
war, was essential to secure victory.
A united nation is vital now to finish
the job. The making of the Victory
Liberty loan an overwhelming sue
cess is every mans job, just as it was
every mans job to win the war,

NATION NEEDS ROOSEVELT
"Oh, IL He Were Only Here" Hiram
johnson Tells Crowd.

Minneapolis, Sept. 22-with three
addresses in the Twin Cities Saturday
Senator Hiram W. Johnson concluded
his speaking trip thru the middle west,
League of Nations covenant in its
present form.
Answering President Wilson'S state
ment that Theodore Roosevelt would
favor the League OF Nations were he
alive today, Senator johnson said:
"Mr. Wilson, hard pressed, quoted
yesterday, Theodore Roosevelt. oh, il
Roosevelt were only here! The ma
ton never needed-him more. His
commanding personality, his lofty pa
triotism, his love for the pride in our
nation, his very personality typical of
our republic, his loyalty to the great
cause of democracy, his fearlessness in
attacking any divided allegiance to
our country. his red-biooded Ameri-
canism, would have made short work
Lof the unAmerican thing which Mr.
Wilson seeks to foist upon US. How
strange and weird and unnatural 1t
seems for Mr.. Wilson to quote Colonel
Roosevelt. They have ever been the
clear vision and unerrins wisdom saw
the possibilities of the great world
war and our interest in it. The other,
with feeble and flabby phrases
preached the doctrine of neutrality in
deed and thought.
Roosevelt when it was unpopular
to do so. denounced wrong and ag-
erosion, broken national faith and
ruthless militarism. Wilson for three
years before we got into the war, was
unable to tell for what the nations OF
the earth were fighting and told us
each side was battling for the same
hidden causes. For two years and
half he neither saw nor understood the
underlying forces in civilizations
titanic struggle. Unmoved and un-
touched, he witnessed the crime
against Belgium and the assault upon
humanity. He now speaks learnedly
of the initial phases of the conflict
the actuating reasons, the roots of the
cataclysm."
Senator johnson. in speaking of his
speaking trip thru the middle west
said:
THE tremendous and overwhelming
response everywhere to the doctrine of
Americanisni has made me most anx-
ious to continue my itinerary to the
| Pacific coast In addition, I would
gladly avail my myself of the generous
invitations extended to me from every
city between here and California. My
amendment however. for giving
America equal representation with
Great Britain in the league may come
before the senate any day now"

WAR ON THE PACKER
Kansas Livestock Producers Commit
tee Launch Offensive at Washington.

Kansas City. Mo, Sept 22.-Declar-
ing government a ction necessary if
the livestock raisers of the country
and of the middle west in particular
are to avoid ruin, a committee of
40 livestock producers of Kansas.
headed by former Gov. W. r. Stubs,
have gone to Washington, where they
will take the matter up with the gov
eminent authorities. They announced
the intention of stopping in Chicago
for a conference with packing inter
ests.
In statement given out today. fol-
lowing a preliminary meeting of the
committee here, Governor Stubs said:
There is something dead wrong be-
tween the producer and the consumer.
Somebody has got to explain what is
wrong and this committee will not
explanation. The fact is the price
paid the producer for his beef and
hogs in far below the price of produc-
ton. Still the public is not paying
any less for its meat than It was
months ago. What is going on in
between?' That's what we want to
know.
1--WE believe the packer is the Gull
prit who is responsible for the crisis
the livestock men are facing. The
packers are absolutely in control of
the market and the meat situation.
Ihey are so powerfully organized they
can DO what they please and get away
with it. They are forcing down the
prices paid the producer, but the
packers themselves are making more
money than ever before. They try to
tell you they are not, but they are"

The committee bears a commuuica-
ton from Governor Allen declaring
neither the producsers or consumers
are getting a square deal from the sit
uation.

ter in Topeka.

A. Hercules, a sseamfitter working for

found the two 15-gallon barrels. which
were taken TO police headquarters
Detective George Frost arrested Hupp

SCHOOLS ROOSEVELT DAY
Kansas Pupils VIII Recognize Event
Friday, October "a.


Roosevelt day in the public schools
of Kansas will be observed Friday
afternoon, October "a. The Roose-
welt Memorial campaign is to be car
ried on the week of October 20, and
ending on Colonel Roosevelts birth
day anniversary. 1t was at first sug-
gested that the school children have
their special exercises October 81, but
at the suggestion of the teachers
themselves this was changed to Fri
day.
The schools ordinarily have some
special exercises on Friday afternoons
and this provides an unusual oppor-
tunity for a good program that should
be of considerable interest to the chill
dren. Fred Seaman, assistant state
superintendent of public instruction.
who is in charge of the Roosevelt
campaign in the schools, is preparing
| a special Roosevelt program for the
use of the schools. The local COM
Inittees will provide speakers for
every school that desires one But it
is intended and expected that the ex-
ercises dealing with the life and work
| of Colonel Roosevelt will be handled
| chiefly by the children to stimulate
| their interest in better Americanism.
The money raised by the school
| children as part of their contribu-
ton to the campaign is to be reported
| to the local committees on Saturday
so that it may be included in the final
/ reports of the counties on the follow
ing Monday when the campaign is tC
| be closed.
The state headquarters for the
Roosevelt Memorial has ample ma
terial which will be furnished the
schools dealing with the salient pro-
posals of Colonel Roosevelts career
point out his ideals for a better and
truer American citizenship. One OF
the chief points in the raising of thG
memorial fund is to provide a founda-
tion by which the plans for the Amer.
icanization of Americans can be car
ried on forever. The ideal of Colone
Roosevelt is best expressed in the one
| sentence he wrote some years ago:
"One flag, the American flag;
one language, the language of the
Declaration of Independence; one
loyalty, loyalty to the American
