HELPED KEEP ORDER
National Guards Did Police Duty Dur
ing Wednesday Night Parade.

The policing of the state house
grounds during the visit of the 10th
engineers Wednesday night was in the
hands of a detail from Company H,
U. S. n. G.-Kansas division-with
Lieut.. o. NJ. Allegro as captain of the
Guard. Despite the fact that it was
found late in the evening that more
sentinels were neededthan were at first
thought necessary, so that many men
first and second reliefs, the situation
was accepted cheerfully. 1t was the
first practical experience of many of
the guardsmen in the duties of inter-
ior guard duty, but the work was per-
formed in satisfactory manner.
The guard at the state house was
posted for the purpose of keeping
mere onlookers from crowding around
the visiting soldiers and so preventing
them from visiting with their relatives
and intimate friends. All members of
the guard were instructed to combine
good judgment, tact and courtesy with
duty and Capt. A. c. Smith of Com
pany H was congratulated and
thanked by those in charge of the cele-
alton for the manner in which his
men carried out their work.
Company H will also be on duty at
the homecoming of the 18th infan-
Atry. and all members are directed to
watch the newspapers for published
orders

Appropriation Used in U. S.

New York, May 1.-"Give us back
our five cent loaf" is the plea of Mrs.
Julian Heath. president of the Ma
tional Housewives League, cabled TO-
day to President Wilson.
Mrs. Heath stating she spoke for the
housewives of 70 per cent of the coun-
try's consumers. appealed for action
to bring lower food prices.
Use Hoover Fund Here.
1--WE must have lower prices" she
said. Mr.. Hoover should use his
hundred million dollar appropriation
Ito feed Europe) to bring down the
price of bread in America"
Mrs. Heath's cablegram suggested
that Wilson Immediately authorize I'M
portation of Argentine and Canadian
wheats to force down bread prices.
She said the American consumers
will not get much benefit out of win
ming the war unless food costs are
lowered, and declares:
1.-The pre-war cost of bacon was 30
cents and it has now risen to 20 cents;
pre-war lard 13 cents, now 40 cents;
pre-war pork $17, now $50; pre-war
wheat 80 cents, now $2.20; pre-war
corn so cents, now $1.60.
Asks Wilson His Stand.
Current statistics show we have
the greatest stocks of wheat, meats,
fats, hogs and cattle that were ever
known in the history of the country.
yet they are withheld from the peo-
pie at prices which none but the rich
can pay. Everything follows wheat.
Reduce wheat to a maximum of $1.25
to the people, paying the farmer the
difference between that price and the
surrendered price out of the fund pro-
Vided for handling the 1919 crop and
everything else will go down. The
idea of feeding Europe is fine, but

Her cable ends with a flat question
to Wilson as to whether he will take

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG:
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young Is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes -- pimples - bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety.
per cent of all sickness comes from in-
active bowels and liver. .-S ~
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected vegetable com.
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
ouoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ng the system of impurities.

R. R. HEROES BACK
Thirteenth Engineers Did Great
Work in the War.
Many of Them Were Recruited
in Topeka.

New York, May AFTER twenty
one months in France. the Thirteenth
engineers, recruited mostly from Chi
cago, have returned from overseas
and are now at Camp Mills, Long Is
land. The railroads may justly be
proud of this regiment which was the
first engineers outfit to go across and
the first American regiment under
fire. Thirty-one Of the officers and
men wear Croix de Queries and the
unit has been cited four times. Many
of the men were recruited in Topeka.
The Thirteenth engineers transport
ed to the front every American SOL
der that fought at st. Mihiel and in
the Argonne- -Meuse campaigns and
brought back all the wounded from
stice was signed they had started to
transport troops to the Metz sector
for drive against that fortress.
Recruited From Six Roads.
The Thirteenth was recruited in
Chicago from six railways and was
one of the finest of it's kind in the
service. Col. c. L. Whiting, super
intendent of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, is in command, having
succeeded Col. Nathaniel S. Howard,
who returned about six weeks ago.
The unit lost fourteen men killed and
scores of the men at Camp Mills have
been wounded. Pvt. Grant Cook, of
Clinton. Ia, died of pneumonia as the
Belvodere. which brought the men
home, entered the harbor here.
Capt F. w. Taylor a former Chi
cago alderman, told of the difficulty
experienced by the officers in making
the men take their rest when oppor-
tunity offered.
"After they had toiled- sixty and
L,
without Sleep" he said, I'VE had to or
der them back to their billets because
they insisted on acting as stretcher
bearers of hours more"
Operated Gun Trains.
But the enlisted men declared that
Captain Taylor and other officers had
continued to assist the surgeons and
nurses, altho they had been without
sleep as long as their men.
In addition to transporting troops.
the Thirteenth operated all the trains
on which the 14-inch naval guns were
mounted, and built many tracks rum
| ming into the gun pits. Scores of in
stances of personal bravery developed.
German shell-fire cut the tracks back
of Verdun six times. Never once did
member of the Thirteenth desert an
ammunition train altho menaced with
bombing planes, shell fire. machine
gun fire and high explosives. Engi-
motives back riddIed with shell frag-
ments and bullets.
Owing to the crowded condition OF
the debarkation camps it is probable
the Thirteenth will leave for Camp
| Grant in 2 few days. Thirty-seven of
ficers and 1,146 men will go to Rock
ford for discharge.

START A new ROW
Haskell County Seat Fight
Breaks Out Anew.
Will Be Held May 10
To Settle Dispute.
CONTROVERSY is ANCIENT ONE
Former Topeka Editor Was
Killed in One Big Row.
Many Court Contests Have
Been Held Over Site.

Haskell county's ancient county seat
row has broken out again. Because of
the passage of a special act by the
Kansas legislature, an election is to
be held May l 5 to determine the lOca-
ton of the county seat. Delegations
from Sublette and Satanta visited the
state house today to discuss with state
officials proposals for litigation to tie
up the election
One of the most spectacular county
seat fights Kansas has known has
been staged in Haskell county during
of the rows of the southwest country
were settled in the days of the late
Theodosious Botkin when Sam Wood.
Chalk Beeson, Bob Crawford, Bob
Painter and a dozen other characters
were in their element. The Stevens
county seat war ended with the killing
of Sam Wood Numerous other wars
brought bloodshed and much litiga-
ton.
Many Court Controversies.
Standing out alone Haskell county
has continued her fight for location of
troversy has gone before the courts
Twice efforts to remove the county
seat failed in elections ~ fewer than a
dozen votes Once the county seat
was moved over night when the bond
ed Indebtedness became too heavy.
Several years ago the last fight was
staged and the court house remained
in Santa Fe-now an almost deserted
village-and the war will break out
anew it seems, because of the action
of the recent legislature. Last winter
the legislature passed bill which
permits the county to hold another
election.
Efforts to declare the law invalid
are to be made by friends of Santa Fe
and Satanta. Sublette, which is seeking
the relocation of the court house, is
anxious to hold up court action until
after the special election May Is. 1t
appeared today that the Sublette dele
CATION. headed by Steve Cave, had won
the first round of the fight The state
today refused to lend its name to an
action in advance of the election. Such
action, it was stated, would prejudice
the election and give Santa Fe and
Satanta an advantage in the voting.
Satanta residents are supporting
Santa Fe in the present fight. They
hope to be able to move the court
house to their town. Sublette is con-
tending for removal of the county seat.
Santa Fc Moved Court House.
In one special election-wherein
three-fifths of all votes cast were re-
uuired for removal-the demand for
relocation failed by eleven votes. In
a subsequent election four votes We're
