WITH PEACE. H[RE NEW PROBLEMS I0
 SOLVE ARE MANY
GERMANS RELUCTANTLY AFFIx SIGNATURES TO TREATY AND
 WAR OFFICIALLY ENDS.
WORLD MUST BE REBUILT
Lessons Learned by People insurss the Bringing into cioser Contact
 Of Citizens and Government.

Now that the new German Govern ment has accepted the inevitable, and has officially signed the peace terms rendered them by the Allies and the countries associated with them, the greatest and most disastrous war that has ever scourged the world Is ended.
 For nearly five years now the world has been topsy turvy. The things that were needed yesterday are uo longer required. and the products of the great war establishments and munt ton plants are being diverted to the manufacture of implements of peace.
 There will now needs to be a re adjustment. Governments that have thought In billions and spent money with a lavish hand, must needs re- trench and think in millions and even smaller amounts, and must gain new perspective.
 Viewed in the retrospect the part played by America fin the great world was Is one Of the most glorious chap ters in history. The greatest nation the world has ever seen to rise and gain predominance tn world affairs was the one to add the finishing blow to the unprecedented struggle. And in the days that followed the signing of the armistice 1t was that same country, America, that led in the road to world peace.
 And in the making of this brilliant history the plain American citizen played stellar role. The mountain of munitions, the equipment for the millions of soldiers. the great ships that carried the men across the ocean, could not have been provided had not the common people of America pro vided the money.
 Much of this money was obtained through the sale of Liberty Bonds and the War Savings and the Thrift Stamps. And this great volume of money has not been wasted First IL brought permanent peace to the world and now that real peace is here, every cent that was so invested will come back to those who aided their government, and 1t will come back with interest.
 This war that is now happily ended has taught the people the value of saving. They went into the saving game e much through patriotism as anything else. But now that they are reapdAS the returns. and sse that what they did with . patriotic motive h . real foundation for future fortune, they have gained . nsw oooAdsncs in their country. and they will coz tinue to buy the securities the rreas- ury Department offers. and will make the country many fold more prosper- ous than 1t would have been had not the war instilled the lesson that will prove Invaluable in future yearu.

Diamonds. that have for cons been recognised as the proper caper when a bethrothal is to be sealed. and that have been looked upon as a good ob- ject in which to invest surplus funds, are advancing Tn price
 Even in blighted Germany, says the St. Louis Star. the demand is exceed itg all bounds. and a leading jeweler says they may go to $1.000 karat in the near future.
 Be that as it may" said another jeweler. it Is going to be hard to convince everyone of the value of d!a- monds as an investment For pop. ping the question they will always re, main eminently the correct thing
 But with the United States Gov. ernment offering War Savings Stamps on the terms it is now doing, and with the Governments guarantee to pay four per cent compounded guar. terly. many millions more are going to be put into these baby bonds than in the sparklers."
 Diamonds are all right, but the price nuctuates, and then when they are offered for sale the Shyioct is often in evidence. while these Gov. ernment securities are as sure as death end taxes. which is some sure !"

CITY COUNCIL PASSES FUEL
ORDINANCE

During the last week the citizens |
of Wa-Keeney, who have tried to keep |
track of the local fuel regulations have |
not been able to tell whether they |
were s1going or coming" A meeting
was held at the court room last |
Thursday afternoon for the purpose
of discussing the situation The sub |
ject was pretty well talked over and |
while the sentiment OF the meeting |
was that Wa-Keeney should run along |
the same as other cities on the Union
Pacific are being run, but that the
schools should not be closed until it
was absolutely necessary in order to
meet the requirements and still get
the coal A committee composed of
Mayor H F. Kline, as chairman, and
C. l. Hartman, w c. P Rhoades, L.
O. Northup and W F. Swiggett as
other members, were appointed to
handle the situation but this commit
tee has never been called together by
| the chairman. At that time the infor-
| nation to work on was circular
| issued by Mr.. VicRoy, superintendent
/ of this division of the Union Pacific.
| A day or so later another circular
| came which made it imperative that
! schools and many other Institutions
be closed Another meeting was held
| AFTERNOON at WHICH Lne DOaTQ
of directors of the Wa-Keeney .itv
schools and Trego County High School
decided to close the schools. Taking
the action for final, a number of the
teachers left for their homes. In the
meantime a telegram had been sent
to Mr. VicRoy, stating:
SCHOOLS in Wa-Keeney proper have
sufficient fuel to continue operations
!, and have not asked for or secured any
fuel since coal strike. Ask If they can
continue schools without prejud-
| icing coal situation
) To this the following rep.y was re-
ceived:
SCHOOLS can continue until their
; supply is exhausted"
Acting this the schools opened
Monday and have been open since.
p Now comes the city council
) in special session held Wednesday
evening and passes ordinance for
the purpose of regulating things: Here
is the ordinance:
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1919-12-04

While this agitation has been in
progress here at home President VIII
son has made a proposition for the
settlement of the strike which has
been accepted by both the miners and
the operators and the mines are to
open with full force of worknen to-
morrow The coal situation viii soon
be relieved to some extent but not en-
tirely loosened up unless some warm
weather follows for the next month
The question which will likely be
tested out now is, efDoes the ener-
gency still exist and will the ordin-
ance stand''

These jewellers in the caverns,
Beneath the storms and SHOWS,
Shall make the desert places
To blossom as the rose
The splendid homes of Kansas!
How proudly now they stand,
Amid the fields and orchards
All DER the smiling land,
They rose up where the cabins
Once marked the virgin soil.
And are the fitting emblems
Of patient years of toll.
God bless the homes of Kansas!
From poorest to the best,
The cabin of the border,
The sod house of the west;
The dugout low and lonely,
The mansion grand and great,
The hands that laid the hearthstone
Have built a mighty state.

THE HOMES OF KANSAS

The cabin homes of Kansas!
How modestly they stood
Along the sunny hillsides,
Or nestled in the wood,
They sheltered men and women,
Brave-hearted pioneers,
Each one became landmark
Of Freedoms trial years
The sod homes of Kansas
Though built of Mother Earth,
Within their walls so humble,
Are souls of sterling worth
Though poverty and struggle
May be the builders lot,
The sod house is a castle
Where failures enter not.
The dugout homes of Kansas!
The lowliest of all,
They hold the homestead title
AS firm as marble hall.
