peka Health Service Bulletin, pub
1ished by the Topeka health depart
ment,. is devoted to the campaign

KANSANS WERE THERE
Many Divisions Filled With the Fight
ing Farmers From This Section.


By Union Pacific R. Il. Press Bureau.
Washington, D. c., March I'll
How the replacement methods used
in filling up the combat divisions in
france broke down the old system of
organizations representing certain
states or sections is illustrated in the
reports of returning troops this week.
In demobilizing the 27th division,
for instance, many men are announced
as going to Funston, Pike, Dodge and
other camps for discharge to middle
western states. The famous division
which broke the Hindenburg line was
originally a New York organization.
However at the time it established it's
record, former losses had been re-
placed with thousands of men from
the middle west and other portions OF
the country.
The 4Oth division, originally COM
posed of National Guard troops from
the Pacific Coast states, contained
thousands from other sections, includ-
ing a substantial portion from Colo
RADIO, Kansas, Missouri and South Da-
kota. This in turn was used as a re-
placement unit at the front and the
mid-western fighters are now shown
in the return reports as having served
in half a dozen other organizations.
The same is true of division after
division and many a unit receiving
fame as from certain eastern and
western sections owes not a small por-
ton of its success to the Fighting
Farmers trained at Funston. Dodge
and Pike. with which it was filled on

CONTROL INSECTS AT ONCE
Garden Pests Should Be Given Treat

den insect pests should be controlled
now, and not after the insects appear
on the plants, in the opinion of Prof
George A. Dean, of the entomology de-
partment of Kansas state Agricultural
college.
Clean culture methods and cultiva-
ton are the easiest ways of controlling
the pests, says Professor Dean.
1.-The commonest insect pests in the
garden are the white cabbage butter
fly. the striped cucumber beetle. the
squash bug. and plant lice" said Pro-
fessor Dean. Some of these insects
pass thru the winter in the egg stage.

1.-THE clean culture method Of con-

SHE LAYS A BIG EGG
Topeka Hen Placed One 81 Inches
Around in Nest.

A Wyandotte hen owned by o. w.
Eason, 423 East Eleventh street,
claims-or rather, her owner does for
her-the championship for laying
large eggs. March 16 she deposited
an egg measuring SA inches around
in her nest.
When Eason found the egg he
wished to preserve the large shell.
Inside was the usual white and yolk.
Inside the first egg there was another
egg, shell and everything. The sec
ond egg is about the average size. per-
haps a little larger than ordinary.
Eason believes the egg is the larg-
est double job ever produced by any
hen ''barrin' none" But the hen
has not done a lick of work since.
However. after performing a feat of
this kind she deserves a layoff.
On the outside of the egg Eason has
inscribed the slogan, She Doesn't Do
1t Every Day."

DIR. STOKES ASED TO RESIGN.
Former Bamberg County Newspaper
Man Loses Columbia Job.

The following Columbia dispatch
to the News and Courier of
Sunday will be of interest in
this county. 1t will be REALIZED that
DR.. Stokes for a period of months
conducted a newspaper, the News
Monitor, at Denmark, and that after
he had closed shop he received an
appointment as registrar of the bu-
reau of registration and employ
ment in Columbia, afterward going
through bankruptcy proceedings.

grievances, John e. Swearingen.

William S. Stokes as registrar of the
State Bureau of Registration and
Employment of teachers, said Mr..
Swearingen today, when asked about
the matter. The resignation is effec-
tive March |.
The State superintendent acted on
afidavits furnished by T. Pedan An
derson and J. T. Brazealle, trustees
of the high school at Westminster,
Oconee county, who alleged that DR..
Stokes advocated breaking their con-
tracts with schools employing teach
ers when they could secure better
raying teaching positions. A specific
instance was cited in the affidavit Of
Mr.. Brazealle, who claimed that DR..
Stokes, while the former was in the
office Of the registrar, rang up a
woman teacher already employed
and offered her position with the
Westminster school, but, when he
found what salary she received, ad-
vised her to stick to her then en-
ployment.
In a lengthy statement to Mr..
Swearingen regarding the matter.
DR.. Stokes said hiatt he did ring up
tie teacher, but did not know that
she had accepted the employment.
In his statement the registrar said:
First, I was in favor of teachers
getting better salaries; secondly,
did not advocate teachers leaving
their Places where thew had accepted
employment without first getting the
permission of the trustees
The bureau of registration and
employment of teachers was provid-
ed for in an act passed at the lass
session Of the general assembly and
a specific appropriation of S2,00h
was made for its maintenance, teach
ers being charged a membership fee
of a year. DR.. Stokes who is the
reading. clerk of the State senate.
was appointed registrar by the STATE
Superintendent of Education, under
whose authority the bureau was plac-
ed. DR.. Stokes put the machinery
of the bureau into operation.

eral assembly, introduced in the
house by J. E. Davis, Of Barnwell

and I thought, of course, that the
ship was sinking, though only two
minutes had elapsed since the ex-

that had just broken over the ship,

On deck the crew and passengers
had already gathered-some sprint

readiness for abandoning the ship.
There was absolutely no disorder and
the men were all joking about the
affair. One young ensign said to

H YOU are lost NO one will use it
better than 1; if you are saved, I'll
forget it, But the good old ship
didn't sink. The explosion had oc-
Cured just under the stern and the
full force had been diverted outward.
The steering gear was wrecked and
the counter damaged but other than
that no serious damage was done.
Within two hours we had made tenn
porary repairs and were able to pro-

any had lived to tell the tale, in the

would only have been those that re-

long enough for the Harvard to haul
them on board by lines. AS it was
freezing cold at the time, there
would have been few who could have
stood the cold and water for longer
than few hours.
After that we had no more bad
luck and proceeded without incident
to Heligoland where we anchored af-

At a. M, January 12, we landed
at Wilhelmshaven. great naval
base where the first mutiny in the
German fleet took rlace about a year
before the war ended, and were met

sure that I have never felt more for
any man than I did for the command
