SATURDAY WAS TAG DAY"

Last Saturday was tag day for the
Jewish-Armenian Campaign and the
following girls from the high school
building presented tags to every one
who gave to the fund: Genevieve
Strickland, Gladys Craig, Lucille Jar
rett, Irene Etzold, Verna Hays, Mary
Etzold, Neva Trexler, and they sue
ceeded in increasing the fund to the
amount of over eighty dollars. The
committee in charge of the campaign
is much pleased over the girls work
The sum of $13O9.O0 has been sub
scribed from Seward county. This
does not reach the quota given us,
but considering the conditions-the
weather and the epidemic of infu-
enza which prevailed much of the
time when the campaign was held
this showing is not so bad.

PROHIBITION RALLY

The prohibition forces which in.
clude all the folks of Liberal, will
celebrate the coming of National
Prohibition a rousing union meet.
ing at the Christian church at 1880
p. M, Friday, February 28th.
W. j. Herwig of Topeka, Superin-
tendant of the Anti-Saloon League of
Kansas, will be the speaker for the
occasion.
Even before National Prohibition
was attained the prohibition forces
had opened warfare on the liquor
traffic in the entire world. The liq-
uor traffic which knows no democracy
must go with Kaiserism, and this
world must be made sober and safe
for democracy.
Mr.. Herwig is one of the out
standing figures in the great Anti
Liquor fight in this country. The
lecture platform contains no more
able, popular and successful speaker.
His message will be of vital import
ance to every Kansan, for Kansas
which has pioneered the way for pro-
hibition in this country will join
hands in the great movement for
world prohibition.

FRECKLES

Great care has been taken by the
Broadway Amusement Company in
selecting artists to create the differ
ent roles in the dramatizhtion of
Gene Stratton-P orter's famous novel
"Freckles" which comes to the Ma
jestic Theater for one night, Friday,
February 81.
The most difficult role to fill was
that of "Freckles" as it not only re-
quired an exceedingly young, hand
some actor, but one who possessed
an excellent singing voice as well.
At least hundred different appli-
cants were interviewed before one
was selected. There are very few
Scotch artists in America at present
disengaged, therefore it was neces-
sary to send to England for actors
and singers to interpret the delight
full Scotch characters. The other
parts are portrayed by American &C
tors and actresses, all of whom are
thoroughly familiar with the types
prevalent in great Limberlost region,
the locality where the story is laid.
This is not moving picture.

General SHUTS is known the world
over as one of the brightest and
squarest men in the British Empire.
His word on matter of this import
ance in England is almost taken as
law. He is honestly for future peace
and the league articles as read by
President Wilson were in part writ
ten and in still larger part suggested
by Smute.
The proposed constitution of the
League now being considered all over
the world, by the people, and dis
cussed in all of its phases at the
peace conference, is not perfect in
strument by any means. But it is a
start in the direction which the con-
ference hopes will finally mean a
guarantee of far more security than
the world has ever known before.
Lord Grey of England, foreign
minister at the time the European
war started in 1914, declared that if
the beginning of the. war could
have been held off for ten days there
would have been no fighting. With
the League of Nations it is proposed
to have machinery that will at least
delay the starting of war. If it is
possible to delay it long enough, as
the famous Bryan peace treaties sug-
gested, there can be way found, in
almost every case, to avoid blood
shed.
The League of Nations is not a
perfect organization, but there are
honest minds back of it and its rules
will be amended and its methods en-
larged and corrected until it will
surely meet the need of the nations
to a much greater extent than any
Balance of Power, Triple Alliance or
Quadruple Entente the world has ev-
er known.
The League of Nations must be
given a chance. We mustn't listen to
the individual who says: "We al
ways have had war and always will
have war" That doesn't prove any
thing. At least we should try to
make war less liable, we should try
to make smaller armies and navies
and we should try to stop building
battleships and use our money in
making the world a better peace
world, forgetting the thousands of
years that it has been a war world

from over the world in covering
every possible question that might
come up at the end of the late war
and meet the demand that peace is
naturally bringing. Therefore, as
the head of the League to Enforce
Peace as he speaks with a certain
amount of authority. His sugges-
tons should be respected.
Mr.. Taft wishes something that all
of us really desire, and that is abso-
lutte end of all wars. Mr.. Taft does
not guarantee that the League of Ma
tions will absolutely be a guarantee
of future peace for the world, but it
is method by which war will be
much less likely and, if at all, kept
in smaller areas.
The general plan for the League of
Nations follows suggestions, largely,
of General Jan SHUTS Of the Union
of South Africa, a British colony.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Former President William Howard
Taft urges the people of America to
get behind the plan to endorse a
League of Nations.
n 1t is most excellent idea to give
|, the suggestion of Mr.. Taft real con-
federation. Since the very outbreak
of the war he has been studying a
plan to try to make war less possible
in the future. With nearly all other
Americans he was for the war from
the time when it was apparent it had
to be fought. But he was for it in
the hope that the war then being
fought would result in some sort of
an organization that would make
wars much less probable in the fu-
ture.
Mr.. Taft has spent more than
four years, with hundreds of other
Americans, Engli.hmen and others

THE H. H. CLUB ENTERTAINs

Mrs. Bruins, Mrs. Lambert and Mrs
Ray Fraim were hostess to the mem
bers of the H. H. Club and their hus
bands, last Friday evening at the
Fraim home in the Superior neigh,
borhood. Misses Ef1ie Farmer and
Mae Fraim were the guests Of the
Club.
The rooms were artistically dec
grated with many red hearts, which
were most appropriate and many
games in keeping with the Valentine
day were played besides many other
amusing feats which were put on by
some of the guests.
The hostesses served a most de-
licious lunch. About fifty enjoyed
this peasant occasion, which one of
the guests declared to be the best
in a long time, so these ladies are
surely splendid entertainers.

VAST PLAN FOR DEvELOPINCu,S, AIR INDUSTRY Would Combine Civilian, Naval and Military Efforts
 Activities. CABINET DEPARTMENT
 TO DIRECT WHOLE Aviation Mission FayOrs Steps to Have Government Take Lead Among Nations in Big
 Venture.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Concentra- tion of the air activities of the United ] States, civilian, naval and military, within the direction of single gov , ernmental agency with an official holding place in the presidents 1 cabinet at the head, is recommended by the special American aviation mis- slon, headed by Assistant Secretary of War Crowell, which has been studying aircraft developments in Europe.
 In making public the report today, Secretary Baker disapproved the recommendation for a department of aviation, holding that "the mission has in my judgment gone too far in suggesting single centralized air service"
 The proposed department of avia- tion, the mission asserted in it's re- port, should be charged with full responsibility for placing and main- taining our country in the first rank among nations in the development and utilization of aircraft for the na- ment of civil aerial transportation and communication arts" The report, which is divided into three parts, dealing with general organization, commercial development and technical development is based on studies made in England, France and Italy.
 England Busy.
 Americas aircraft production in- dustry," the report asserts, reached large proportions during the war but since the armistice has shrunken to a very small volume. Unless immediate attention is given to it's conservation, it will practically dis appear"
 "No sensible business man." the report adds, lis justified in keeping money invested in the aircraft indus try under the conditions which have maintained in the United States since November H." \
 Great Britain, the mission found, has come "to consider the dominance of the air as at least of equal impor- tance with that of the sea and is frankly and avowedly planning a definite policy of aerial development to that end"
 "An yfuture war vii Inevitably open with great aerial activity far in advance of contact either upon land or sea-" declared the mission.
