City Chiefs Asked
To Help Fed. Board
Aid Disabled Yanks

Washington, Dec. Ito quickly
reach every handicapped soldier, sail
cr or MARINE, who is entitled to train
ing under the law, the Federal Board
fer Vocational Education is sending
a circular uetter to every mayor in
3he United States, asking co-opera-
tion.
Under the law the Federal Board
for Vocational Education cannot be-
gin education and retraining of dis
abled men until they are discharged
from the army so"-.5.is For
time lit was not posi- to get agents
of the board into me hospitals,
large number cf men were discharged
without ever hearing of the board.
Back in their home towns, these
men often tried to hold positions for
which they were net fitted. Often
hey took positions in which their
disability was made greater by the
activities required in the line of
work they had undertakei
In a greet ma rity Of such cases,
HE man entitled to reeducation was
not in position to he1r of the board
or if he did hear of it he was too
busy trying to make a living ito give
the subject consideration. The re-
SUI was inevitable
The veteran found he could not
successfully hold his job. Often he
become downcast, lost hope and de-
velcped the spirit of chronic kick
er His friends Hnd acquaintances,
not being informed, could not help
him and were inclined to place the
blame upon the Federal Board for
Vocational Education.
The responses from the mayors
over the country, to date, indicate
that these public officials are only
too glad to cooperate with the board.
Many have indicated that they would |
do all in their power to help. All
have asked for instructions.
Literature, giving instructions how
ito reach the nearest district office
of the b5aIa, and other information |
calculated to supply the need of the /
handicapped man, is now being plac-
ed in the hands of evry mayor in the
United States. Men in need of train
ing will thus be able to get the in
formation they need from the chief
executive of their home towns.

ST. LOUIS AFTER
1920 REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL SESSION
BY United Press.

BY United Press.
ST. Louis, Dec 9.-Senator Boise
Penrose and other influential repub-
lican leaders are being counted on
to swing the 1920 Republican Nation
al convention to st. Louis when the
national committee selects the con
vention city at Ia meeting in Wash
ington
st. Louis is sending a delegation
of twenty-five leading republicans to
the meeting to back up the support
of party leaders.
The first representative convention
in years will result from chosing st.
Louis, delegates from ST. Louis will
insist. They plan to offer the ma
tional committee convention expens-
es and convention tickets. Previous
convention cities have handed out
tickets as they saw fit resulting, st.
Louis delegates insist, on exclusion
of those from other cities.
I'VE will offer the national com
mittee all expenses, such as the con
yentlon hall, decorations and other
things said John Schmol, republican
city committeeman. We will offer
them all tickets free The expense
Of THE convention probably will be
about $4,000
In addition hotels have agreed to
charge regular rates. This is close
state and bringing the convention
here viii do a considerable good TO
the republican cause
we viii have four thousand rooms
TO accommodate convention delegates
and in addition to the coliseum here
is amply large, seating fourteen Jious-
and.
Paul v Bum, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, pointed out
that st. Louis already has entertain
ed three national political conven-
tions. "We sent delegation to Chi
cago recently to aid in securing the
convention for st. Louis. Another

This is to be the motto of all the
Roosevelt clubs in the Kansas col
leges.
Carl Moore. of Kinsley, secretary of
the public utilities cocmission, has
been selected as the head of the
speakers bureau for the Kansas cam
paign for the Roosevelt Memorial AL
ready a considerable number OF meet
ings have been arranged and speakers
are being asked for by women's clubs
and other organizations in different
parts of the state. 1t will be Moore's
job to get the speakers and to route
them over the state where they are
desired and at the time required. 1t
is going to be quite a little job, but
Carl Moore is going to give whatever
time is needed to it. A dozen well
known Kansans, most of them long
time personal friends of Colonel
Roosevelt. have volunteered their
services for speeches during the cam
paign.

NO SHORTAGE OF CARS
That Is What Hines Assures Public
Utilities Commission.

There are plenty of cars-far more
than two years ago-Walter D. Hines.
director OF railroads, has assured the
public utilities commission. But
somehow the supply doesn't seem to
find its way out to Kansas.
In response to numerous MESA ges
for transportation facilities for move
ment of the Kansas wheat crop. Di-
rector General Hines sent a lengthy
statistical statement. He assured the
commission that the government has

years ago the car supply was only

T.R. CLUBS IN COLLEGES
Fifty Memorial Organizations Among
Schools OF Kansas.

There are over fifty Roosevelt clubs
now being organized in the colleges of
Kansas. DIR. WILDER Mason, former
president of Baker university and a
member of the state board of admin
istration, has accepted the work of
getting the Roosevelt clubs organized
in the colleges and universities.
He has presented to the head of
each college the plan for the organi-
zation of the clubs. The purpose IS
to disseminate the views of Colonel
Roosevelt on the subject of a broader,
truer Americanism to the students and
to keep before them the ideals of the
former president in the American in
stitutions and American people.
OF course. the clubs will help in
raising the quota Of the schools in the
Roosevelt Memorial campaign, but
this Is to be an incident of the real
work of the clubs which are expected
to continue their activities long after
the money-raising campaign is closed.
Colonel Roosevelt always took a
great interest in schools and colleges
and one of the favorite notices OF
college men is a saying of Colonel
Roosevelt in an address to some col
lege men:

FARM DEPARTMENT
BY c. c. BAKER, County Agent.
Sorghum is Good Feed.

Recent tests in the feeding OF sor-
gnum silage to steers at the EXperi-
mpnt Station farm showed that the
gains made were almost as good as
when corn silage was fed. Il is hoped
that these tests VIII do away with the
p ejudice against a.rghum as sllage
and as fodder both for feeding cattle
and dairy stock.
in writing concerning the prevalent
belief that sorghum will dry up cows,
J. J. Hooper of the Experiment Sta
ton has the following to say:
Two cows were fed 21a pounds of
heads ttaken from 1872 stalks for 10
days and then 4 pounds of heads for
nine days, the test extending from
October % to November &c. For four
weeks previous 10 the test the cows
averaged 22.74 pounds OF milk daily,
20.S3 pounds during the four weeks Of
the test, and 1921 for four weeks after
the test. The decline is comparable
with that found in the rest of our herd
fnot fed on the seed) and serves to
release the sorghum heads from sus-
piciop.
The other cows were fed rs pounds
OF sorghum stalks for the same period
They produced daily average of 20S5
pounds of milk for four weeks before
the test, 1915 pounds during the four
weeks of the test, and 1854 for four
weeks after the feeding test. This de-
cline is greater than for the rest OF
our herd. Two check cows fed on corn
stover instead of sorghum. declined
about the same in milk flow during the
1 period.
"Our explanation Of the belief thai
| sorghum drys up cows is, as follows:
Sorghum is usually fed in the fall
when succulent grass is almost gone
land dry sorghum is substituted fol
green feed that has been available
Often the cows are expected to sub
sist on the sorghum alone at season
when the weather is getting cold ant
wet. The feeder anticipates that th'
4 seed of the sorghum heads will fur
nish lots of nutriment but, as matter
| of fact, the little seeds in the head
1 are largely indigestible and pass on
freely with the solid manure. Also
sorghum carries less seed than is com
monty supposed, for we found that 2
| pounds OF sorghum stalks QS0 stalks
only carry pounds of heads, which
shell out approximately 3 pounds o
grain, a negligible amount of grain TO
a COW per day, and especially so whei
our work shows that a large part o
the seed escape digestion.
Evidently the belief that sorghum
is deleterious to milk production !
without foundation in fact, and tn
dairymen will do we'll to freely emplo
this cheap roughage."

BACK TRAVEL PAY IS
TO BE PAID SOLDIERS

Discharged soldiers are again "in
luck" for the Government has decided
to reimburse all soldiers certain travel
pay which has become due them under
a recent act of Congress. On Novem-
Der IL, 1918, when the armistice was
signed travel pay of 81 cents mile
was granted to soldiers discharged
from the service. Since then the travel
allowance has been increased to five
cents a mile, and as a consequence
there are thousands of soldiers to
whom a balance'of " cents per mile
is due.
A blank form, which can be secured
at any recruiting office, is necessary in
making application for the balance of
travel pay. This blank, properly filled
out and accompanied by a true copy
of the discharge of the soldier certified
by a recruiting officer. must be for
warded to the Zone Finance OFFICER,
