0RITIIARY

Chas. Matthews was born in Beas-
ton, Bedford, England, November %,
1851, and died at Sandy, England,
July 5, 1919 at the age of 81 years,
7 months and 13 days. In the year of
1875 he was married to Elizabeth
Ann Garland at Sydenham, Kent,
England, at which time he and his
bride came to the U. S. to take up
their abode. To this union was born
ten children, respectively: Bessie
Murrow, Laura Jane, Maude Mary,
Tillie May, Chas. William, Rose Belle
Maggie Mandy, Frederick James,
George and Henry. All survive their
father excepting the last two who
with their mother preceded him to the
better world twenty eight years ago.
He moved to Rush county in 1876,
and came to Hays in 1888. In 1893
Mr. Matthews with his children went
to Oklahoma, where he settled on a
claim, there rearing his children and
living there until the time he went to
England to visit relatives. After Wis
iting for two weeks he was suddenly
stricken with apopIexy which resulted
in his death. His son, C. W, embark
ed as soon as the message came, but
death had overtaken him before his
sons arrival. Mr.. Matthews was con-
verified at Gibbon, Oklahoma, nineteen
years ago, and was a member of the
Gibbon M. E. church, having lived a
CONSTANT christian up to the time of
his death. Mr.. Matthews has always
been a devoted father having taken a
mothers place in the rearing of his
children.

Child Scalded to Death

Shortly after the noon hour Tues
day, the little two year old son of Mr..

of hot water and was badly scaIded all
over except face and hands. He was
Immediately taken to the Hays hos
pital but died shortly after midnight
A short service was conducted yester-
day at the home by Rev. Stevens when
the little body was taken to Woodston
for interment
It seems that Mrs. Frazier had been
washing on the back porch and was
just finishing. She ran some water
from the machine into a pail. She
had not much more than done this I'M
til the little fellow stepped out of the
house, stumbled and fell backwards
into it. The Fraziers live on the
former C. V. Ordway place south of
town.-PlainvilIe Times.

Germany the Dumping Ground

Again the old adage, "Chickens
come home to roost," appears about
to be exemplified. At least that is the
fear of Germany, according to the
dispatches. For many years Ger
many has INDUCED in scientific
sfdumping." It has been policy fos-
tered by the German government.
With them it has been anything to
gain trade - cartels, favored-nation
agreements, chamber of commerce
certifcations, organized dumping.
1t was a recognized practice of Ger
many before the war to have two
wholesale prices of substantially all
commodities, one for the home mark
ct and one for the export market. The
export price was the lower, so as to
enable the sellers to compete with
foreign competitors. The domestic
price was higher, so as to make up for
the loss of profit on the exports. In
some instances the German govern
ment made up the losses on exports
and that plan has not been abandon
ed.
But now Germany fears that for
eign nations are going to dump GER
tain textiles on her markets. Prob
ably there will be no real dumping,

To Whom it May Concern:
Take Notice, that a legal petition

Beginning at the S. W. corner of

draw on section line then circle
around the draw on the east side of
draw thence north and connect with

at the place of beginning of said road,
as petitioned for, on the 10th day of
September, 1919, and proceed to view
said road as the law directs, at which
time and place all persons interested

but it is undoubtedly true that Ger
man textile manufacturers will be
hampered for some time to come by
their inability to obtain sufficient
quantities of raw materials. Both
America and England will be able TO
undersell the German manufacturers
for time, and the Germans are
obliged under the Treaty of Peace, to
impose no restrictions on importa-
tions. She cannot increase her Tariff
duties, nor can she adopt a license
system, much less impose an embargo
Therefore, there is every reason to
suppose that both the English and the
American manufacturers of textiles
will, for some time to come, enjoy a
more or less free field in Germany.
But her dyestuff, chemical and pot
ash industries will not be handicapped
On the contrary, it looks reasonable
possibly even better, shape to meet
to suppose that they will be in as good
foreign competition in those line than
ever before, unless some economic
barriers" be imposed.
While we do not share in German
belief that there will be any real
dumping in Germany, yet it would be
only "poetic Justice" if she should be
made the victim of her own devises.
That is what has happened to her ma
tionally as the result of her attempt
to dominate the world and there is no
doubt but that she will suffer econom-
ically for many years to come, if not
from dumping, then from some other
form of commercial aggression for
which she has herself pointed the
way.-American Economist

Dear Editor:
Kindly allow me little space in
the Free Press to invite inquiry into
a very important subject concerning
Ellis County.
In the late World War, Ellis cOun-
ty furnished her share of men for the
Military and Naval forces of Our
Country, as the various Service Flags
throughout the county will testify.
Some of them are Blue, some are Red
while quite a few are Gold, thereby
announcing to the public that son
brother or father has gone forth from
that home never more to return.
AS a member of the Rainbow Divi-
sion who saw eighteen months. over
seas service and participated in a
trench warfare for $50 days, also
Champagne, Chateau-Thiery, ST. Mi
hiel, and twice endured the Argonne
also seeing four months service in
Germany in the Army of Occupation,
/ feel that there should be something
done to keep the memory of Our De-
parted Hero Comrades ever in mind.
l think it would be the proper thing
for all of the Ellis County Service
Men whether Volunteer or Select,
Foreign or Domestic, to unite in some
organization which makes this pos
sible. The American Legion is such
an Organization and should the men
of the county decide that they really
want to organize in Hays City or
any other city of the county they can
also bear in mind that they can de-
pend upon the State Chapter in To-
peka extending all the encouragement
and assistance needed from the out
side
AS further reason why we should
organize, there is the thought of COM
ing legislation both in our National
and State Capitals that is going to af-
feet the Returned Soldier more or
less and according to the pressure
that they bring to bear upon these
measures. Why not be sup and do
ing" for our rights and the rights that
Our Comrades died for? Why can't
we show the world that we are as
good citizens as we were fighters?
What will our labors avail US Or our
children and grandchildren if we al
low such measures as the contemplate
ed League Of Nations to become the
Chains that bind US to entangling and
quarreIing European Nations and at
the same time destroying our Monroe
Doctrine which has kept US out of
trouble several times in the 141 years
of our existance.
Our great Forefather Of Democra-
cy, Thomas Jefferson, once said, cit
is the chief Duty of every true Amer
lean to see that we never become en-
broiled in the unsettled European af-
fairs, as well as to see to it that NO
European Power NEEDLES in Amer
ica's Atlantic affairs"
Brother Comrades! what is your at
titude on these questions? Are you
for or against such measures, or have
you grown Indifferent to such import
ant questions? / hope not. Let US
hear what you have to say about these
questions Speak up in the same way
that you answered your Country's
call for men.

before the ink was dry upon It.
President de Valera also declared
that before the United States entered

newspapers vilifled America as "a ma

critics." and as "slackers in war for
