THE TANK
Butler Visited by One of tine Ma
chimes That Helped to Tame
the Huns.

One of the tanks that was loaned
to the Liberty Loan committee to be
used in this district to stimulate sub
scriptions to the Fifth Liberty Loan
was Butler visitor Saturday and it
was met by one of the largest
crowds ever assembled i'll the town.
The tank arrived on special train
from Harrisonville at 2:45 in the af-
ternoon and was unloaded and
brought down town by way OF Pine
street and taken to the vacant lot on
the corner of Pine and Lyon Streets
and put through some of its favorite
stunts, such as climbing over stone
walls and the like. 1t was used in
the battle of the Argonne and marks
and scars on its sides bore. witness to
the-'fact that there were many missiles
of various kinds flying around in that
part Of france during those days of
last September when the boys from
America showed the Huns that they
could put up scrap with the best
that they had.
After the tank had shown some
thing of what it could do it was
brought to the northwest corner of
the square and from its top speeches
in the interest of the Fifth Liberty
Loan were made by W. B. Catterlin,
chairman of the drive for Bates
county, DR.. w. S. Alternately, of
Kansas City. and Sergeant Z. j..
Kassel, of Toledo, Ohio, who lost a
foot in the battle of the Argonne.
Each of the speeches were fine and
there is no doubt but that they did
much to stimulate interest, in the
drive which commenced Monday.
In addition to DR.. Alternately and
Sergt. Kassel the tank was accom-
panied by Private c. Brasher, Sergt.
Wornall, of Kansas City. Private R.
A. Long, of Neosho, Missouri, and
Private Harold Williams of Wichita,
Kansas.
After the speeches the tank was
parked on the north side of the
square and the public invited to ex-
anime it and many took advantage of
the invitation and gave it thorough
looking over. At 200 it was taken
to the depot and placed on its car
and taken to Nevada, where it was
used in the Liberty Loan drive for
Vernon county.
Saturday night Sergt. KasseK made
another speech at Fisk's Opera.

CRABAPPLE BLOSSOM
REJECTED AS STATE
FLOWER BY ONE VOTE
Debate Shut Off in Missouri House
And Bill Killed, 90 to 40.

Jefferson City, Mo-, April as
The House today, by vote of 80 for
and 90 against, defeated the Senate
bill to designate the wild crabapple
blossom as the official flower of
Missouri.
Representative Todd of Mercer
County, who was author of similar
bill, which was killed in the House
on engrOssment two months ago,
made plea for the measure. There
was no other discussion.
Members later said they voted
against the bill because the wild
crabapple is almost extinct in the
State and the blossom would not be
a representative flower.
The. bill was introduced and spon-
sored in the Senate by Senator Bu-
ford of Reynolds County. 1t :
fered at the request of the Missouri
Historical Society.

FOOD PRICES STAGGER UNDER
BLOW OF HEAD OF GRAIN
CORPORATION
Attack of Food Administration Or
fetal Sends Corn Scale Down
II Ia Cents, Pork $3.50
Barrel and Bacon 81
a Hundred.

Chicago, ILL.,, April 2o.--Julius H.
Barnes, president of the Grain Cor
poration of the Food Association,
made an assault on high prices to-
day which was promptly reflected on
the Board of Trade in a maximum
decline of II I-2 cents in the price OF
corn.
Of possibly more interest to the
housewife was the slump in the pro-
visions market. Pork dropped $1.8o
per barrel, while short rib sides,
known to the breakfast table as ba-
CON- declined maximum of ST per
hundredweight as compared with the
close. yesterday.
Barnes assault came in the form
of bulletin of announcement to the
trade. 1t abounded in technicalities
but its purport was plain, to-wit:
That the speculative tendency in
white flour must stop.
AS an earnest of his intentions the
president of the grain corporation
announced that the. corporation
would cease buying flour for export
Except first clears and Victory
mixed floufs) and that also It would
resell at such important ceuters as
New York, Baltimore and Philadel-
phia flour previously bought for ex-
port, the reseHing being amply safe
guarded in the interest of actual
bakers and other legitimate pur-
chasers. He named the price at
$II.5o jute per barrel.
The technical portion of the bulle-
tin dealt with instructions. to miller,
and grain men generally, but the ex-
PLANTATION of his action was plain to
all. =
The purpose of this" said the
bulletin, lis to stop the speculative
fever in flour before it becomes nec-
essary TO- take off all import restric-
tons on foreign wheat and flour, for
there is plenty of American wheat
and flour if this speculative tendency
is checked"
Barnes threat, the trade realized
instantly, had back Of it the fact that
Canadian granaries and elevators are
fairly bursting with wheat at the
doors of the United States, not to
mention the vast stores in Australia
and Argentina
