Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1919-01-09

The readers of the World noted by
last weeks issue that H s. tivleT,
who has been so long the editor a.id
owner of the paper, had retired on
lease in favor of Fred d. Shaw and
j. w Bingham and this week we
make our humble bow to the public
under the firm name of Shaw & BIng-
ham. The people of Tcego county and
the readers of the World are more or
less acquainted with each of US and
it is not necessary that we make any
formal presentations for ourselves
We have been engaged in newspaper
work in Trego county for the last
several years and feel pretty well
acquainted with a great many of the
people of the county.
To acquire the management of the
Western Kansas World is a wish
which we have both possessed for a
long while but in its contamination
we realize that we have taken upon
ourselves load of responsibility. We
realize that we have taken hold of a
paper which has a reputation and a
standing in the community which is
worth whole lot and which it will
require our best efforts to maintain.
This is one of the big things we are
going to try to do. Mr.. Givler has
and we expect to put forth our best
efforts to make it Newspaper in
every respect but in order to accom-
p1ish this we must have the contin-
ued cooperation of all the business
men and citizens of the county. If
we get out a worthy newspaper and
it is appreciated by the people of the
county we can continue to build up
the subscription list. If we build up
the subscription list the paper will be
more valuable an advertising med
ium and will deserve the hearty pat
ronage of the business interests of
the county We have received hearty
words of best wishes from those who
have the opportunity to wish US well
and our solicitations for new business
have been fruitful. We want to de-
serve their patronage and encourage
ment and we can assure them that the
more of it we receive the better work
we can do and the better work we will
do.
The World has long boosted for the
best interests of Trego county and it

will continue to do 50. 1t has long
been a staunch republican paper and
we will continue it as SUCH At the
same time we expect to deal cons1d-
erately and squarely with those who
have adverse opinions to our own, re-
alizing that there are always two
sides to a question.
We now enter upon the duties of
editors and publishers of the Western
Kansas World under the firm name of
Shaw & Bingham with best wishes to-
ward all and malice toward none

During the next week the United
States will undertake the task of vol
UNFAIRLY raising thirty million dollars
for the Syrian and Armenian relief
fund. The portion of this amount
which Kansas is to raise is S6OO,0
which is only small amount for each
person in the state. The restitution in
these countries is something awful
and while we think we are having a
hard time in this country account
of war conditions, yet we are living
in the very heighth of luxury when
compared with those poor people The
demand is urgent and the money
must come during next week What
do you expect to do in the Jewish
Armenian relief campaign? is
question being asked each individual.
A subscription at your local home
bank or to the local committee will

reach the unfortunates in the Bible
lands.

The World has in its possession
several interesting soldier letters
which it will publish as soon as it
can be done. We like to receive all
such letters which contain general in
formation but we cannot publish them
all the same week. Neither will the
person who wrote them make any
difference to US as to the time the
letter will be published. Some times
we will have space to publish long
letter and some other time will pub
lish several short ones. However, as
rule, the one we get hold of first
when we reach into the pile, will be
the one or more published that week.

still think so, but I may get over it
if given time enough.


am free to confess that If I had
been In Wilson's shoes most likely
would have taken the European trip
just as he is doing, to the best of
my ability, of course. 1t must be adj
mitted, also, that the United States
is getting a great deal of advertising
out of the trip and If the President
succeeds in getting the allied powers
to adopt his views it will put this
country at the top of the column for
a long time to come
o yes. I must confess that I do not
know what some of Wilson's
points really mean, if anything, but
1 make no apology for that; nobody
seems to know. On the other hand
1 do know most positively that VIII
son kept at least two of us out OF
the war Colonel Roosevelt and Gen
eral Wood.
A few weeks ago the newspapers
reported Lieut. Colonel Wilbur Rog-
ers wounded, degree undetermined. y
An official dispatch later said that he
was in Base Hospital No. 326, suffer
ing from shell shock and slight
wound. His wife has written to him
every day since he went over and
only recently heard from him that he
can't hear from her. The other rel
atives have heard from him since the
signing of the armistice. He is with
the troops and says nothing about
having been wounded; just said that
he was O. K. His latest letter left
him Luxem burg, expecting to be in
Germany with the army of occupa-
ton within two days The people of
Luxembourg did not know about the
signing of the armistice until the
Americans told them; that two days
before the Americans entered the city
the Germans told the people there
that the Americans were all drunk
ards and could not fight. Col. Rogers
should now be somewhere in Ger
many with the 10th F. A, helping
the Germans to go way back and be
good.
A question very naturally arises,
what becomes of all the letters that
are sent to soldier boys over seas and
never delivered? Will any of them
be returned to the writer's :? Really,
though, considering the way the boys
have been moved around over there.
it is almost a wonder that they re-
ceive any mail at all, and it would
not be very strange if we fail to re-
ceive the letters they send to the
home folks. By the way, should
be hearing from some of those Christ
mas boxes within a very few days.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Instead of plain cornmeal mush, have cornmeal-and-oatm mush.
 With broilcd steak Bearnaise sauce is @ delicious accompaniment.
 The best way not to waste money is to pay cash for every purchase.
 For midwinter tomato-jelly salad will bring satisfying taste.
 OK tail can be used for praised OK joints, and it is deliciously savory.
 Onions, if boiled in pure soft water, are tasteless. Use hard water salted.
 Quite new are the patchwork pieces for covering couch pillows, for serving trays and small table cloths Bright colored cretonnes are used to gether with plain pieces, or the de- signs are cut out and patched onto plain colors. So many possibilities lie in the art of patchwork in pattern, color and quaint design. that new ideas are constantly springing up.
 4 charming feature of this kind of patchwork is the art of quaint cotton print patterns in it's materials. th2 fttr touch and tone that stamps the real work of our grandmother's time. And it is just as fascinating today IS ever, only time changes it's applica- tion Even one piece, tray, cover or cushion, would be very much worth having, and the work is what we might call simply plain sewing.
 Petticoats are in again. and while one hesitates to make the entire skirt without a pattern, one could make a pretty lace houuce 10 attach to any petticoat you have on hand Buy two yards of two-inch Valenciennes beading. To this attach at regular intervals Q set of six medalIions of fine embroidery.
 Around these medalIions sew two together, completely fill up the spaces between the embroidered pieces. Around the uneven edge formed by the lace edged medaIlions, attach the two inch edging to match the insertion. Through the beading run q wide pale blue satin ribbon. The result will be beautiful and il can be Iaundered as often as the pet ticoat itself.
 When mending small holes in lace curtains, darn them before the cur tain is washed, but, when there is a hole that requires a patch. wash the curtains first stretch and dry, ther cut a piece of the top with which tc make the patch. Trim off all frayed edges round the hole. dip the patch 1T raw starch, and press it over the : hole.

Directoire Influence.

That the DirecJoire influence is be- ing felt in millinery is evident in a model recently shown; the shape has high round crown, and brim which is short and turned up at the back. This shapes low at the front, pulling down over the eyes and is tilted slightly to one side. A new straw braid, called fisole, is used in its construction and is made of verti- cal strips of straw. Around the crown a crush of velvet is used, and at the front a steel buckle holds it in place.
