this delay, is almost on the point of
asking a few questions.
Towards bill has teeth as long a
bill in good faith. He wants the meas
ure passed "a this session. He wants
to put the teaching of German and the
spreading of German propaganda on
the toboggan in Kansas for all time.
Being newspaper man of the hard
boiled type, Towards tendency to
gather facts may cause him to speak
on the floor of the house some day.
And on such an occasion the various
members of the educational commit
tee might as well be loaded for bear.
Kansas will become ;-bout the most
undesirable spot in the world for a
German sympathizer-past. present or
future-if Towards bill finds a place
in the session laws. 1t stops the teach
ing of German in the schools But
that is merely the start. 1t makes it
unlawful to employ any person to
teach German in any public or private
school or to employ a person to teach
the German language privately.
Hits at Disloyal Teachers.
Then the bill recites a whole section
of trouble for the teacher whose 10y
atty wasn't exactly on straight during
the war. Here are a couple of choice
sections in the bill-possibly the sec
tons that may be responsible for hold
ing the measure up in a committee

HATCH THE CHICKS
EARLY, THE ADVICE
OF KANSAS EXPERT

Manhattan, Kan, March 3.-Ratch
chickens early. That is the only way
to make a real success of poultry rails
ing. in the opinion of E. H. Wiegand,
state poultry club leader.
Early Matching, which means, for
Kansas, starting in February and
March. gives the poultry raiser eleven
distinct advantages, according to Mr..
Wiegand. They are: Chicks that are
past the danger point before hot
weather sets in; chicks less troubled
by lice and disease; more chicks
raised; longer growing season: bet
ter grown chicks; well matured pull
lets, which begin to lay in the fall:
higher prices for the surplus cock
erels marketed as broilers: eggs from
the pullets while the hens are moult-
ing; eggs in the fall and winter when
prices are the highest; early maturing
pullets that become broody earlier the
following spring; greater profit
with pullets Matched early it is
easy to hatch early the following
spring. said Mr.. Wiegand. with late
Matched pullets this is more difficult.
The process forms a perfect cycle
Early Matching leads to early matur-
| ing and laying leads to early broodi-
ness. Poultry keepers should set every
| hen that becomes broody during Feb
ruary or early in March. and thus
pave the way for early Matching next
spring.

Washington, March 3.-Salesmen
and other employees receiving per diem
allowances in addition to regular SAL
aries are required to report these al
lowances in income tax returns, the
Internal revenue bureau announced
today.

travel in the course of their employ
ment are considered living expenses.

HAS OPTIONAL CLAUSE
Proba bility Is That Indeterminate
Franchise Bill May Pass Legislature.

PrOba bility Is That Indeterminate
Franchise Bill May Pass Legislature.
With an optional provision placed
in the indeterminate franchise bill,
there is strong probability that the
measure will find it's way thru the
present legislature with little opposi-
ton. Under amendments provided by
legislative committees, corporations
may elect to operate under the indie
terminate franchise agreement upon
consent of the cities affected. Where
service is supplied to two or more
cities the various towns may vote on
the proposition of an indeterminate or
good behavior permit.
The bill as presented in the legis1a-
ture affected gas and electric COM
panies. Originally the bill provided
that the indeterminate permit should
apply to all cities which rely on the
service of a public utility. AS amend
ed. however, the bill makes optional
with the city the acceptance or rejec-
ton of the provisions of the measure.
Where a half dozen or more towns
are supplied with a service, sew
eral might elect to come under the
good behavior law and others might
decide on a definite franchise period.
Under the proposed new law the
city might at any time elect to take
over the public utility. Where pro-
visions of the franchise are violated.
the corporation would be denied the
right to supply further service to pa
irons of the town. Power is vested
in the public utilities commission to
| regulate the affairs of the corpora
| ton. At the same time the cities af-
fected by the agreement would not be
denied the right to construct or oper-
ate their own gas or electric system.
Provisions which occasioned the OBJ
| lection of several legislators are said
| to have been removed by the committee
amendments and the fight which
| seemed in store for the bill r-~y nave
been effectively removed by the pro-
vision which makes the franchise
| agreement optional with the, cities

Mr.. FAMILY MAN:
Why Spend So Much
Money on Shoes?

Here IS what Tracy Munson of
Joplin. Missouri, says of Ne6lin
Soles Judging from my own ex-
perlence, they wear four times longer
than other soles and have the addi-
tional advantage of being waterproof
and slip-proof"
Why continue to wear extravagant
old-fashioned soles when you can get
these money-saving, long-wearing soles
on new shoes in any style you like
for any member of the family? Good
shoe stores everywhere carry them.
And don't throw away your old
shoes. Have them re-bottomed with
Neolin Soles and enjoy the comfort
of re-soled shoe which is not stiff
or clumsy. Neolip Soles are a dis
covery of Science, and are made by

Farmers Busy Cutting Corn

Middletown, Del, Sept. 15.-The
work of harvesting the corn crop IS
engaging the attention of the farmers
here. and it is one of the busiest sea-
sons of the year with them. The crop
is fairly good and in some places is
heavy, but the corn on all of the farms
for miles about here is in a terrible
condition, having been blown down by
the heavy wind storms which accom-
panied the heavy rains during the
early part Of August.
Hundreds of negroes from Virginia
come here every year to cut the corn
and It is doubtful if the crop would
ever be harvested without their help.
At least, two hundred are IN this m
mediate community, and every tram
from the South brings an extra dozen
or so into the town. The negroes are
great workers and keep at it from
daylight until dark stopping only long
enough to eat the midday meal. They
are paid by piece work, cutting by the
shock. The pay started at fifteen
cents a shock. Because of the down
condition of the corn, many OF the cut,
tiers have "held up" the farmers and
compelled them to pay twenty n
a shock. The average made by the
negroes is more than Sc a day. AS
soon as the corn is cutsand the ground
cleared the plows are started to pre-
pare the ground for autumn wheat
seeding.

Oilless Fish Being Caught

Lewes, Del, Sept. 15.-Owing to
the heavy northwest wind which has
prevailed here for three days, the
fishing steamers were unable to leave
the dock in search of fish. Some of
the boats laid at the dock for two days
waiting to be unloaded. While the fish
have been very plentiful this season
they are very poor, sometimes only
making a pint of oil to the barrel.
Never in the history of fishermen have
such poor fish been caught in these
waters. In Chesapeake Bay and some
of the Southern plants these poor fish
are always found.

The Irish Agitator A Traitor

-
The matter OF whether Eamonn ole
Valera, the .self-designated president
of the want-to-be Irish Republic,
should be allowed to make an address
in Wilmington caused a heated dis
cussion in Wilmington City Council
at the session on the 10th. The trouble
came following the reading of a letter
from Washington Camp, P. .. 5. OF
A., in which that body asked De
Valera not be allowed to speak IN the
city. The letter follows:
Observation-Disclosures, 1t has come
to our attention through public press
that Eamonn de Valera, hailed as the
President of the Irish Republic, is TO
come to our city for the purpose OF
making a public speech in favor OF
the Sim Fem Irish Republic, and
"Whereas, There is no Irish Repub-
lie. and that the said de Valera IS an
escaped convict from a British Jail and
an imposter here for the avowed pur-
pose of stirring up sentiment and Sc
dition against constituted authority
and the raising of $25,000,0O0 to aid
in the Sim Fein rebellion against
Great Britain, which is a friendly gov
eminent to this country and our ally
in the late war, and whose presence is
now shaming all decent n mtelll-
gent American citizens and insulting
this country by his weak and dishon-
est ~harangues, and
"Whereas, For us, a city, to pay any
attention in it's official capacity to any
person calling himself THE President
of the Irish Republic would make US
guilty of a gratuitous insult to our
allv. Great Britain, and therefore COM
hitting an act of international treason.
Therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we, the members OF
Washington Camp, No. 6, Patriotic
Order Sons of America, IN regular
meeting assembled, do hereby through
our committee, petition your honors 70
refuse to acknowledge the aforesaid
Eamonn de Valera as the president Oh
the Irish Republic without the proper
credentials from the British Govern
ment, and also to refuse to grant n
permit or to sanction any meetings
that will create any unjust sentiment
or ill-feeling toward u friend ana
ally, Great Britain"
The communication was signed by
Daniel R. Smith, recording secretary;
Howard P. Heller and Harry d.
Schmidt.
Following the reading of the com,
munication Councilman Mulvena SAID
that he thought the letter should "be
referred to the waste basket he
added that he thought Ireland should
he shown recognition inasmuch as
many other new republics had sprung
up and we're being recognized.
President Lyons said that De
Valera was not an Irishman, but a
Spanish German without a drop OF
Irish blood in his veins.

This said, he is recognized by most OF
