well received and urged to return,

were made with C. M. Pease of
Bloomingdale, seven miles away, to
preach there part of the time. Trow-

a good man. Went directly from
Trowbridge to Glendora, south of
st. Joe and Benton Harbor, for the
22nd. Here is another splendid ru-
raj church in the midst Of the finest
fruit country that lies out doors.
The people turned out in goodly
numbers in spite of its being a mid
week meeting. AS the interior of
the church was being repainted and
repapered we had a delightful meet
ing in the back room. The Glendora
folks are interested and enthusiastic.
They easily secured from the M. A.
L. a promise to return. Here is
good field that should have full time
preaching or cooperate with Bu-
chanan.
According to schedule l went from
there to Vandalia. Seeing that l
could not get to Vandalia before
evening, the train took special pains
to be late. 1t must have done so for
my special benefit because it stood
in the station at Niles for forty-five

before it left. Inquiring the way to
the church, for / had never been

there was some misunderstanding as

PROTECT WHITE WAY GLOBES
City VIII Probably Ask Bids on 1,6O5
Retainers Soon.

Each of the 531 white way" stand
ards in Topeka will be equipped with
metal globe retainers if the plans of
Wilbur Stanfield, commissioner of wa
ter and light. are carried out. Stan
field said today he will probably adj
vertise for bids for the manufacture
of 1908 of the retainers soon.
Faced with the wish of Topekans to
maintain the white way" and know
ing the toll of destruction that each
wind storm brings to the white way"
globes. Stanfield designed a retainer
that he says will protect the globes
from the wind. facilitate handling and
add to the appearance of the white
way
The device consists of a sheet-iron
band attached to four uprights of the
same material, which are encircled by
another band one inch above the CEN
ter of the globe. The device is at
tached to the standards and the globe
set inside, where it is held by its own
gravity. The globes can eb easily re-
moved and cleaned.
Under the present system, the globes
are held in position by screws in a
light globe. Often these screws break
off and have to be drilled out. This
results in two or three hours work.
To clean all the globes. Stanfieid says,
now occupies two or three weeks.
whereas if the globes could be easily
four days. The heat, expanding the
globes, often breaks them under the
present system.
Stanfield said the retainers could be
! built for practically the cost of one
years insurance on the globes or
| 1869. If the retainers are provided,
the insurance will be discontinued, he
said. A large shipment of new globes
is now on the road to replace those
broken in the recent wind storm.
Stanfield's idea may be the means
| of enabling many other cities to re-
store their white ways" many of
which have been discontinued owing
to the immense loss on globes. A set
of the retainers has been placed on
the standard at the northwest corner
of Seventh and Quincy streets, where
they have been the object of much
comment.

BUY ALUNCMOTOR
VIII Be Placed in Police De-
partment's Hands.
Life Saving Machine Said To Be
Highly Recommended.

lungmotor has been purchased by
the city and placed in the hands of
the police department, it was an
nounced otday.
Owing to the failure of the pulmo-
tor, formerly in the hands of the fire
department, to work properly in
emergencies. the lungmotor was pur-
chased. 1t is said to have the approval
of medical societies turnout the coun-
try, whereas these same societies are
said to have condemned the pulmotor.
Mayor H J. Corwin. in placing the
machine with the police department,
stated that it can thus be hurried to
the scene of the emergency more
quickly. Calls might be made for the
machine, he pointed out, when the fire
companies are out. There is always
some one at the police station to re-
spond to the call.
A demonstration of the lungmotor
was held ait the city hall this after
noon under the directions of DR.. A.
H. Marshall and DR.. H. 3. Hogeboom.
1t is operated by hand. whereas the
old pulmotor was operated by a mo-
tor, which usually failed when needed
the most.
The machine cost $3.50, and will be
paid for out of the fire and police
funds.

After much ducking in mud pud-

Washburn freshmen are now said TO
be willing to wear the little blue caps
marked "24," the indication of their

The annual battle over enforcing the

freshmen had organized under their
president, Ralph Shrader. and were
ready, $50 strong. after chapel exer-

classmen. The law enforcement bril-
gade, led by Lawrence woodward,
sophomore president, proceeded TO
prove it necessary to wear the caps by
the way of mud puddles, black eyes,
torn clothes. bruises. nose bleed. etc.
The freshmen were equal to the strug-

had their muscles hardened by recent

URGES MAY DAY PROGRAM
Allen, in New York Speech, Calls for
Big Celebration.

New York. April 26.-In an inter-
view here Governor Allen of Kansas
urged concrete displays of patriotism
thru monster May Day celebrations.
The governor has followed the course
of other states in declaring for May
Day parades and urges that patriotic
displays be made nationwide. In a
statement here the Kansas governor
said in part:
1.-THE war has brought the political.
social and industrial affairs of the
world into an abnormal state of IN
rest. With such influences at work
the most useful kind of Americanism 1
know is that which, inspired by ad-
herence to our national traditions, in
sists upon sanity in counsel and stead
mess in action.
'If the preparedness parade of 1916
stimulated our patriotic impulses, why
have not similar parades May I to
bring the forces of patriotism to-
gether in every city in a pageant per-
hitting a concrete exhibition of Amer
icanism?
1.-THE declaration of independence
was received with acclaim by our fore
fathers. Let their devotion to Amer
lean ideals again animate US.
II have supreme faith in this coun-
try and its people. The real heart of
our people beats as passionately as
ever for the integrity of American
ideals and for our constitution and the
Institutions bequeathed by it to US.
This day appropriately observed just
now will give dramatic expression to
the emotions and convictions of our
people that America may fulfill her
proper destiny. For a long time now
we have allowed the European radical
and his converts in America to do all
the talking. 1t is time that 100 per
cent Americans should drop their good
natured role of Indifference and stand
forth. typifyinG the real strength of
this land"

than thirty publishers of Third dis

ter at an editorial dinner in the Har-
vey house.
George W. Marble, publisher of the
Fort Scott Tribune, and Charles F.
Scott, publisher of the lola Record,
were guests of the Third district edi-
tors. Marble told the editors there
was much trolble ahead for the pub
fishers who were not on safe ground
regarding print paper.
Every mills output seemingly is
being gobbled up or taken over at an
enormous price by the big city pub
lishers," said Marble, who said he
feared for the loss of his own con-
tract with a northern mill. Papers,
bidding against each other, have
driven prices up until there is no limit
at this time. Barney Sheridan printed
a story several days ago to the effect
that the Kansas City Star recently
sought to buy the entire supply of all
Kansas City houses by offering price
in advance of the market quotation.
thru its plan, supplies to many pub
fishers would have been cut off. do
not anticipate an advance to as hign
as 80 cents a pound for print paper,

KANSAS NEEDS LABOR
State to Suffer Help Shortage This
Summer,


The farm labor shortage in Kansas
during the coming harvest season is
going to be more acute than in any
other state in the west, J. NJ. Gilman,
of Leavenworth, in charge of the new
Kansas free employment. believes.
Gilman says that at present the labor
shortage is greater than it has ever
been at this time of year and that he
expects it to become more acute as
the season advances.
Kansas will require almost three
times as many harvest hands as any
other states in this section. and the
other states are expecting to get their
help from the overflow" and drifts
out of Kansas. At the present time
there is a big demand for single men
to work on farms for $50 a month and
their board and lodging. and the av-
erage price being offered for married
men ranges from $65 with house and
garden and the use of COW and horse
and in some cases the use of an auto
mobile.
Altho branch offices of the Kansas
free employment bureau will not be
opened until the first of June arrange
ments are being made for the estab-
lishment of offices at Liberal and
Dodge City.
Kansas is going to depend largely
upon Kansas City as the fountain head
of the labor stream that will be de-
manded this summer. Already ar
rangements have been made for plac-
ing two men under the direction of w.
H Lewis. Missouri labor commissioner,
to aid in directing men into Kansas.
Reports that the union labor ranks
will attempt to enforce boycott on
Kansas as a result of the passage OF
the industrial court law have been re-
ceived and if anything like this is at
