suited in several seed houses writing
to the Fl Hays station asking where
they could secure the seed in CONNER
cial quantities. To western Kansas
people this is a good joke. They know
that it is only when everything else
fails that the Russian thistle is of any
value and that even then it is of value
only because it has crowded out
something else which would have been
of more value. The eastern fellow can
cultivate Russian thistle if he wants
to but the western man would gladly
see it in the place of continuous fire.
President Wilson certainly posses
ses ability for smashing precedents- At
the beginning of his reign as mon
arch of the White House he banished
the use of wines and liquors from the
social functions at the White House.
Later, after he was married the sec
ond time, the wines were permitted
to come back Now, when the peo-
pie of the whole world were settling
down to the opinion that national war
time prohibition would take effect the
first of July and that complete nation
al prohibition would be effective the
first of next January, Mr.. Wilson
again starts things by asking CON
gT0SS TO repeal a part fAG war time
prohibitory law. Whether it is Mr.
Wilson's wife or his residence in
France for the last six months which
has brought about the change in Mr..
Wilson, or just his desire to do things
different, cannot say, but he GER
tain1y is not expressing the sentiment
of the majority of the people of the
United States and is certainly smash
ing precedences-
The congress which has just been
organized is republican and it Is not
at all probable that it viii run accord
ing to the dictates of Mr. Wilson'S
conscience as the last congress was

A novel idea has been sprung for
motorists who get stuck IN the mud,
suggesting an easy way af overcoan-
ing the trouble, namely, carrying in
the ear a supply Of old newspapers
When the car gets stuck and the
wheels refuse to take hold, feed in
some of the old papers between the
tires and the mud. Usually only a
few will have to be worked in before
the wheels wills begin to grip and the
car starts forward. This method of
handling a difficult situation is so
simple and uniformly successful
that every motorist should know of it
and carry pile of old newspapers,
unless he Is equipped with some other
apparatus for such a contingency.

COMMENT


Tomorrow is Decoration Day" and
it will be a different day from any
other similar day which has been OBJ
served by the people of the United
States, and it viii very likely be the
beginning of new era which will re-
suit in the observance of the day
national day by both the north and
the south as it used to be. There
viii be no north" and fEsouth" in the
new order of the observance of the
day for the world war has wiped out
that line. The sons of the north and
the sons of the south have met on the
fields of France in a common defense
of home and country against a COM
mon foe of the world and as these
sons answer the last roll call and go
to their last long home, their graves
will be sacred spots and each year on
the thirtieth day of May the surviv-
ing relatives and friends will decorate
their graves in the home land and
there will be no north and South.
Previous to the war, time had almost
blotted out the dividing line and the
hatred has completely disappeared
The nation is no longer divided and
IN future years its people will meet
on common grounds to do honor to
the living and dead who served in de-
tense OF their country.
! also see another new order for the
day. Instead of the boys in blue or
the Grand Army of the Republic tax
ing charge of the exercises of the day
and marching in solemn procession
to the cemetery to decorate the graves
of their fallen brothers, as they did
for so many years, there will be an
equally as large company of the boys
in olive drab who will have charge of
affairs and their sons and daughters
will strew flowers on the graves of
sthe fallen soldiers as did the little boys
and girls of the men of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The "boys in
blue will be honored quests but as
long as history remains their deeds
will not be forgotten and proper trib-
ute viii be paid them.
