that year. Mr.. A. D. Folker, then the
agricultural agent for Shawnee coun-
ty, encouraged the boys to organize
under rules provided by the Kansas
State Agricultural college and four
teen enrolled. Owing to the dry
weather a number of them became dis
couraged and only nine stayed in to
the end, but those nine were well re-
warded for their perseverance.
They met on last Monday evening
for the distribution of prizes as well
as to read their reports as required by
the rules of the college. Each boy re-
ported the cost of raising an acre of
corn. This covered the cost of seed.

This part of their work was not as
complete as it should have been, owing
to the going away of Mr.. Fo1ker, who
had promised them assistance in that
part of their program, but the boys did
well, and are to be commended for
what was accomplished.

Went THRU HELL
But 35th Got No Credit for 1t,
Says John w. WaIdrOn.
Y. M. Worker Approves Cigaret
in Church Talk.

Alleging that the Thirty-fifth divi-
sion had seen more hell and had re-
ceived less credit for it than any other
division, the Rev. John w. Waldren,
just returned from France where he
has been engaged in Y. M. c. A. work,
spoke at length Sunday morning at
the Lowman Memorial church, on the
terrible hardships experienced by the
division from Kansas and Missouri.
A considerable agitation was eff
fectually stirred up by the Rev. Mr..
Waldron's defense of the cigaret. He
not only condoned the cigaret, but de-
clared his approval of the use of the
cigaret as a nerve steadier and con-

titled to all the cigarets they desired.

earth.
When asked if his morals were as

go to the work of mercy and assistance

sorry for that" =wass the expression
which came from many parts of the
church.
Even the Rev. Mr.. Hotter, while ex-
pressing his approval of the Rev. Mr..
Waldron'S talk, said that he disagreed
with him in one thing; he could not
place the stamp of approval upon the
degrading and delnoralizing cigaret
Waldron said that the majority of the
men in the army smoked 1t is his
belief that many of those who ac-
quired a taste for cigarets while in

they return to the softer influences OF

care and attention bestowed upon him

nights that he lowered at deaths door

The assertion that he was Thankful

odist, a Republican and a Mason, was
a comment which caused some ques-

further explanation from the Rev. Mr.

The introduction of the Montee

may be brought about at the next
general election. A 1esolution has al
ready been introduced in the senate
providing for a change in the consti
tuition to permit the state to engage
in a permanent highway construc-
ton, and, if, as some believe, both the,
taxation and the farm tenantry proc
lens can be taken care of thru the
Montee resolution, then it will be pos
sible for Governor Allen to carry cut
the major part of his program much
could have done if a constitutional
convention had been endorsed by the
Legislature.
If the Schoch road resolution and
the Montee taxation resolution are
adopted it will still be possible for the
governor to further add to his pro-
gram as still another amendment to
the constitution can be submitted to
is people at the next general cleo
ton. However, there are now three
resolutions before the senate, includ-
ing the Sutton resolution to permit
the submission of six amendments at
any general election.

HE TELLS OF FRENCH
Leroy Anderson, Wounded in Battle,
Speaks at Church.


Praise for the Red Cross and Sal
walton Army found a liberal place in
an address delivered at the Central
Park Christian church Sunday night
by Leroy Anderson, a Topeka boy,
who went to France with the 10th en-
gineers. Anderson discussed the fight
in the Argonne forest and his other
experiences with the Thirty-fifth di-
vision and gave some interesting de-
scriptions of the French country and
people.
He stated that the French were well
liked by the American soldiers, but
that the latter were impressed with
the slowness of the French and the in
ferior tools with which they laborious-.
ly accomplish their work. He was es-
pecially impressed with the strength
of the French girls, he said. and re-
lated an incident wherein he offered
to help one of them carry firewood
up a flight of stairs. He was embar-
raised, he said, by the ease with which
she carried an even greater load than
be was able to lift.
Anderson went thru the battle of
the Argonne with the Thirty-fifth and
was wounded with shrapnel in the
right hip, leg and arm and lay on the
battle field several hours until he sue
ceeded in applying first aid treatment
| to himself and was removed to a hos
pital at Bordeaux. He was hit while
digging in to avoid a barrage on the
| morning of the fourth day of the bat
| tie. After being removed to the hos
| pita1 he was isolated from his COM
pany and later sent home. After ar
| irving from France at Camp Merritt,
n. J., he was sent to a hospital at
| Camp Kearney, Cal, and later to Camp
Funston, where he received his dis
charge last week.
