VIEWS ON WORLD NEWS
Written by J. w. 7. Mason, United
Press Expert.

New York, Feb. 26.-The movement of
dangerous European unrest which passed
from Russia into Germany, is now ad-
vancing westward and is Developing
menacing symptoms in Great Britain
Lloyd Georges warning of civil strife is
now a rhetorical phrase, for there has been
accommodating long list Of working mems
demands in the British isles which have
failed to be satisfactorily adjusted. The
one result of the peace congress which to
the present has most nearly affected the
people of Great Britain and the other allied
nations in Europe is the confessed inability
of the delegates to make the Germans pay
for the war.
Only a small part of the taxation in the
victorious countries can be met by in
demnity.
The enormous weights of taxes now hang
ing upon Europe is chiefly responsible for
the discomfort which has seized upon the
labor classes of Great Britain. Unless
some means can be found of tightening the
burden, the situation may become I'M i'm
possible one. After the Napeleonic wars.
there was for time, terrible misery be-
cause of heavy taxes, but this was soon re
lieved thru the invention of labor saving
machinery which greatly increased mans
capacity for production. Greater pro-
ductivity appears to be now as then the
only fundamental way of solving the
problem.

Jewell Banker on Return.

Jewell, kan, Feb. 26.-Two hundred
American aviators were held back
awaiting machines, says Ferris T.
Pence, who has returned from the air
service in France. Then, just as the
machines were ready for a drive into
France, the Germans surrendered.
Mr. Pence has, since his return,
been made cashier of the Citizens

Chung. who has moved to Topeka as
an officer of the Aetna Insurance COM
pany.
1.-The Y. NJ. C. A. had a great work
to do, and did it," Mr.. Pence says
1.-THE trouble was in getting compe-
tent men for the labors." He says
that the demand was great and when
the wrong kind-he calls them "dubs'
were put in. the soldiers knew them
at once and there was trouble. The
Y system itself was all right, but it
took superior men to execute it under
war conditions.

cheap that he traded a cigaret for a
German rifle. He says that he could
buy his way thru France with cigarets.

FARMERS In KICK
Petition Against More Pay to
State House Employees.
Proposed Increases To Be Con-
sidered by Committee Tonight.

If employees in the state house and
of the state highway commission get
increases in salaries, they will come
over the protests of the farmers, and
the wives of the farmers. This was
indicated today in the Kansas state
senate when a petition protesting
against increases was presented by
Senator Paulen.
The Paulen petition was sent down
by the Baker Valley Grange associa-
ton and was signed by twenty-seven
men and twelve women. The petition
states that the signers protest most
emphatically against the passage OF
bill giving an increase to the state
house employees and the state highway
commission.
1t is understood that other grange
organizations over the state do not
believe the state should enter into an
agreement 10 give it's employees fatter
salaries when there is chance the
guarantee will be removed from the
price of wheat and other farm prod
ucts will be forced downward IN
price. While no other petitions have
been presented to the senate, 1t is
stated a number of senators have re-
ceived protests from their districts
and that the majority of them are
coming from grange ORGANIZATIONS
A Joint meeting of the ices ana
salaries committees of the senate ana
house is scheduled for tonight, to go
over the recommendations made by
State Auditor Knapp for general in
creases for prac tically all OF the clerks
and stenographers and suggests that
| the salary of the state printer be
raised from $2,5o0 a year to $4,000,
| and that of the state fire marshal also
| to $4,000. OF course there is no con-
nection between the two matters, but
| it is significant that in his recon-
mendations Knapp did not include
| employees in the offices of the state
board of agriculture, the only strictly
farmer department in the state house
! A majority of the members of the
senate fees and salaries committee are
| in favor of granting increases to en-
pIoyes, it is stated, but some of them

age increases that will apply to all

creases, giving some departments
more than others, as Knapp recon-

Over 200 invitations have been is

Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in

ing is open to any one interested in
Bookkeeping who cares to attend.
The association is making an at
tempt to educate bee-keepers in the
most modern methods. According to
Clark, if the most scientific methods
were used, the production of honey in
Kansas could be increased about so
per cent The association is strongly
advocating the building of supers
above the hives SO that bees will have
sufficient room to store their product.
The program will consist of several
papers on various phases of the indus
try. Spring Management of Bees
will be treated by o. A. Keene of To-
peka. president of the Kansas Bee
Keepers association. The subject of
Foul Brood will be handled by
George Pratt. Foul blood is a bac-
terra disease forming in the larva of
the bee. The presence of the disease
in a colony weakens it decidedly. The
bees from other colonies find this out
They come over and overpower the
sentries and guards of the weakened
colony and rob them of their wealth
of honey. But at the same time they
become infected and carry the disease
to their own hives. Professor Dean
of the K. S. A. c. will talk on the hon
ey yielding plants of Kansas.
A. r. Hockensmith, president of the
Eastern Kansas Bee Keepers associa-
