II WAS nSAFE AND SANE"
Sham Battle Victims Only BloodsElcd
in Topeka the Fourth

in Topeka the Fourth"
Fireworks fired by Topekans did
not light up the skies last night, nor
even the front yards. Here and there
front porches of homes were lighted
by "sparklers," small, harmless. noise
less tapers with an extremely short
life.
The only notification that the skies
over Topeka received that there was
any occasion for celebration was the
night flight of the Illuminated Lon
gren airplane, the White Devir'.
The subdued observance of the
evening followed an equally unthrili
ing day. when not even a parade took
place to attract interest. Hanging out
flags. picnicking and attending thea
tiers were the only efforts to celebrate.
Tho the day was generally safe and
sane a list OF slight casualties re-
suited from the sham battle of the
Boys Industrial school staged at Gage
park Monday afternoon. Perhaps be-
cause of lack of proper artillery sup
port" and lack of ammunition. the in
fantry resorted to wounding with
bayonets and soft soap, the latter used
in the hope that it would be more
deadly than blank cartridges. At any
rate. there was general bloodshed, tho
of slight nature, in the battle. Climbing
human" walls, a boxing match and a
historical pageant were other enter
tanning events of the program.
A boxing match at the colored
knights of Pythias picnic at Lakewood
park entertained many persons, with
! Wilson and Gurten, Topeka Jack
johnson and Foster Childs as the prin-
cipals.
A church picnic was held in nearly
every park in the city. one of the
largest being the annual Fourth of
July picnic. of the I.oI man Memorial

PROVISIONS SHOW DECLINE
Pork Down Dollar Per Barrel and
Lard One Cent Per Pound.

Chicago, July 6.-Unusually sharp
downturns took place today in the
value of corn and provisions. Under
heavy selling pressure, September and
December delivery of corn dropped re-
spectively five cents and eight and a
half cents from Saturdays close. Sep
TENDER touched $1.5TA and December
$1.43K. Big receipts and good croH
conditions were the chief reasons
given.
Huge stocks of provisions brought
about a decline of about 500 a bar
rel for pork and 800 a hundred
weight for lard.

HESSIAN FLY DAMAGE
Shawnee County Farmers Warned by
Agent F. o. Blccha.


A widespread distribution of the
Hessian fly over the wheat belt of
Kansas in indicated. according to F. D.
Blecha. county farm agent. and E. G.
Kelly, extension entomologist, who
have been making investigations. They
have issued a letter calling the atten-
ton of Shawnee county farmers to the
danger.
Farmers arc urged to examine their
stubble carefully. If little brown
| -'flaxseed" is found under the sheath
near the crown of the plant, it is in
tested. Early. clean blowing six inches
deep will bury the flaxseed sufficiently
to prevent the adults issuing. The
adult flies begin to issue about the
middle of August and it is important
that the stubble be plowed under be-
fore this date. Experiments also
show that early blowing produces
more and better wheat.
Farmers are urged to consult Blecha
about the Hessian fly where they are
not sure of their own investigations.

Sewer Two Blocks Away.

There is a sewer two blocks to the
east Of the new well and the Potwin
sewer is q mile to the west, Painter
said.
I'VE have two choices" said Painter.
I'VE can either use the well at Harri-
son street until a filtration plant or
some other permanent water relief is
provided. or pump direct from the
river. It should not be hard to see
which is the more advisable choice"
The new well was throwing water
last week, but was not connected up
because it filled with sand and some
repair work nc cessitated pulling 1t out.
1t is expected it will be turned into
the mains this week.

A Modern Menace.

We believe the average man who
owns an automobile is reasonably con-
siderate Of the rights Of other people.
Were it otherwise the fatality list
would be appalling.
But there is a limited class who re
spect neither person nor thing.
They tear through the country at
forty and fifty miles an hour, seldom
Stacking speed as they pass other cars
on the road, and rendering the high
ways Of travel more dangerous than a
modern battlefield.
These men are menace to every
community through which they pass.
If they possessed either brains or
decency they would be otherwise but
possessing neither, they become a pub
lie nuisance and should be sent to an
asylum or penitentiary.
Our laws are too lenient and their
enforcement is to lax.
We consider it a justifable act to
kill man who attacks us without
provocation.
Yet the speed maniac, without provo
cation or excuse, kills and mains and

A Plan for Disabled Service Men.

A Plan for Disabled Service Men.
When the disabled ex-service man
leaves the hospital and goes out to
face the task of making his own living
once more in a land where expenses
have mounted to height that he
never dreamed possible in his prewar
civilian days he no longer will have
to make his battle for start single
handed. Instead there will be friends
to meet him, practically at the door of
the hospital, men of the American
legion who will take the demobili2ed
convalescent under their guidance and
see that the first and worst bumps are
smoothed away from his path.
That is the program arranged by the
Americanization commission Of the
legion. The groundwork for it already
has been laid and in many sections it
is now being put into practice. Posts
in communities where service mems
hospitals are located have been direct
ed to watch out for the men on their
discharge and to make every effort to
get Jobs for them and aid them in adj
justing such problems as war risk in.
surance and compensation.
If man on quitting the hospital is
bound for another town the local post
will communicate with the post in
that town, urging it to get in touch
with him upon his arrival and extend
to him all possible aid. If he is going
to another state the American legion
chairman of that state will receive al
particulars of his case and in turn will
forward them to the post at the trav'
eler's destination.
In this way the legion will main
tain contact with each discharged hos
pital patient until he has reached hi:
destination and has settled down int
a good job free from worries tina
otherwise beset him. In the meantime
before the service mans discnarg'
from the hospital, committees of Wis
itors appointed by the legion posts il
hospital towns will visit him and pro
vide him with mforts.-America,

IS HE A WELSHER?

We have followed to some eX-
tent the history Of the Non-Par-
tisan league of North Dakota. We
witnessed the fight former COVER
nor Frank R. GoOdmg made in
Idaho two years ago against this
organization. Mr.. Gooding was
running for the Z. S. Senate on
the republican ticket, and his sole
campaign was on the issue of Anti
Non-Partisan League activity. Mr.,
Gooding was defeated by John f.
.Nugent, who was endorsed by the
n. P. L. The remainder Of the
republican ticket was elected.
Prominent among the prime
movers in establishing the N. P.
l.. in n. d. was man named j.
Wells Brinton. Mr.. Brinton was
the personal representative of A.
G. Townley and Mr.. Townley's
political advisor. AT one time Mr..
Brinton was mayor of the town
of Beach, N. d. In 1917 he and
Mr.. ToWnley went to st. Paul and
opened Offices for the national N.
P. L. He started the Consumers
United Stores Company and Sc
cured 81, 100000 in memberships.
For some reason Brinton lost his
job with the n. p. L. and since
then has been hurting his dia-
tribes against Townley and the
whole caboodle. Now comes the
most unkindest cut of all. :" We
have a letter from this wonderful
man offering to sell the News
Record five copyrighted articles
dealing with A. c. Townley"
for even $500. We said even
$1S.00-(nO cents. What do our
readers think of that? Judas got
thirty pieces of silver for betray-
ing his Lord, and after the betray-

How All May Help

Begin by learning our national
hymn America" Don't palm
this off on your boy or girl, but
let it be committed to "heart"
by the parent. Then teach your
child to sing it. Follow with a
story of the Star Spangled Ban
ner, and how it happened to be
composed. Tell about Key, and
FIT. Mcllenry, and Baltimore, and
then learn the poem The French
know their Marseillaise; the Eng
liSh know Good Save the King"
the German knew the Wacht am
Rhine-but how many of the read
ers of the News-Record can right
now repeat the Star Spangled
Banner? If the state supcrintend-
cnt of schools in every one of our
As states, would refuse to issue a
certificate to every teacher until
he knew the Star Spangled Ban
ner word for word, in twenty
years from now America would
Jingle with ecstasy every time the
flag was unfurled, or the stars
and stripes were mentioned.
"Oh, say, can you sing from the
start to the end,
What so proudly you stand for
when orchestras play it;
When the whole congregation. in

How valiant they shout when
they're first starting out;
But the dawn's early light finds
them laundering about.

But they don't know the words Of
the precious, brave thing.
