FORM new LEAGUE
Publishers of Ten States Join in
News Print War.
Anthony Bill in Congress Is En-
dorsed by New Union.

Kansas City, May 24.-The Midwest
Newsprint league. embracing ten
states, was formed by Publishers of ap-
proximately a hundred small dailies,
as the elimination of an all-day ses-
sion at the Hotel Muehlebach Satur-
day.
Cooperative buying is the ultimate
goal of the leagues plan, altho not
definitely determined upon. Cooper
alive ownership of paper mills will be
considered, also. Union is expected
to be made by this league with exist
ing organizations representing other
sections.
Resolutions were adopted expressing
approval of the Anthony bill, now in
conference committee in congress- a
bill to limit the size of newspapers and
periodicals to the equivalent of
twenty-four pages daily and fortyr
eight pages Sundays. Revision of
postal zones and abolition of freight
ing periodicals was asked in the reso-
lutions. Magazine sections and comic
supplements of Sunday papers were
decried and a plank inserted asking
prohibition of printing after the mid
night hour Saturday nights.
Manufacturers of paper were be-
rated in the resolutions for selling to
large consumers at reasonable con-
tract prices, supplying almost all of
the larger papers demands at that
price, then turning the surplus onto

NEED MORE PRACTICAL COURSE
DIR. Loveland, OF Topeka, Speaks To
Pittsburg G. of c.

Pittsburg, May 24.-More practical
learning in the public school systems
which will tend to assist the pupil in
earning a living after he leaves school,
was advocated by DIR. Frank L. Love-
land, of Topeka, president of the Ma
tional 100 Per Cent American club,
in an address before the Pittsburg
Chamber of Commerce.
The American school system does
not teach the boys and girls to work"
said Doctor Loveland. There must
be a revival of the spirit of doing an
honest days work if this country is to
recover from the present unrest which
is spreading over the world and the
present public school system must be
changed to meet this program. The
dead hand of the past keeps in the
academic courses that which is of no
benefit to the ordinary individual who
must get out and earn a living"
The speaker emphasized the need
of a more active effort on the part OF
employers of foreign labor to Ameri-
canize these aliens

are advocating preparedness this sea-

good work. County Commissioner
Carey Orebaugh has been busy of late
dealing out poison which the county

many farmers have been supplied.
A splendid illustration of the bene-
fetal results was that-of a farmer who

cessfully fought off the grasshoppers
by poison mash, while farmers owning
adjoining fields who did not take due
precaution lost their entire yields.
