not numerous enough to outweigh the
things forming the true basis of his
fame.
There was trace of the adventurer
in Zoffany. He had extravagant ten
dencies and was quick to take advantage
Of any opportunity that offered to I'M
prove his worldly condition. On his
italian journey he exploited to the ut

III. He deviated to Vienna, and at
Court there played his part with such
aplomb that Maria Theresa made him
a Baron of the Holy Roman Empire.
It irked him that he was not permitted
to swagger about as he wished, with
title all his own, on his return to Eng
land. The truth is that our "Sir john"

Office. Also the labor officials feel
confident that they can send US a
good many cOlored men, and we viii
attempt to place as many as the farm

the labor situation is not alarming
and no one need to offer high wages.
We hope that we can furnish plenty

that to offer higher wages at the pres

can handle the labor more efficiently.
We do not mean to convey the idea
that there will be no shortage, but at
the present, the situation is not
alarming.
A number Of reports have come to
this office that men have offered high
wages to men in this town for this
years harvest. We traced down one
Of these reports and find that it is a
lie, that the man had>not offered such
high wages. We feel sure that these
reports are started by men who ex-
pect high wages and should not be
considered as true. 1 do not believe
that many of our farmers wish to pay
all their receipts from crops to the
help in caring for it. The wage at
zoe per hour is high enough when we
consider that the common laborer of
Hays is not receiving over 6Oc and
must pay his board out of this. Let
US work together and pay no atten-
ton to the lies that are being circu-
lated.

knights, in Nineteenth Session, Ad-
dressed by Father Maher

dressed 0Y r athGr MahSF
The nineteenth annual convention
of the Knights of Columbus of Kan
sas began here Sunday with the an
nual sermon delivered by Rev. Father
John Maher of Salina. After point
ing out that the church had exalted
labor through the centuries, and seen
the laborer raised from serfdom
through citizenship to political recog-
milton, Father Maher then said:
'But these are dangerous days for
labor itself. There is tendency for
1t to become drunk with its new
found rights. There is the danger of
Bolshevism and anarchy in its ranks.
There is a tendency for labor to give
heed to no restraining force unless it
be the truth which had steadily as
sisted labor to- recognition. A great
service can be rendered the country
by reminding labor that the just man
gives honest service for his hire, and
that moderation, integrity, faithful
ness and justice have been the means
that have given working people recog-
milton and are still needed today as
never before"
1t was officially announced here on
Sunday that the total membership of
the Knights of Columbus in Kansas
has now reached 1859, with eighty
one councils in the state The staff
officers are: James F. Sheehy, Paola,
deputy; George Bordenkircher, EN-
poria, secretary; E. c. Muller, Tip
ton, treasurer; Rev. James McErlean,
Delphos, chaplain; Claude Bryant, In
dependence, advocate; J. D. Hurley,
Leavenworth, warden; NJ. A Quigley,
Atchison, past deputy.
The annual state banquet was
given Sunday night. Monday was
given up to- business sessions.
Thomas E. Downs of Beloit, was
elected state deputy, succeeding
james Sheehy of Paola, who had
served two years. Other officers
elected were: secretary, F. S. Goebel
of Kansas City; treasurer, E. C.
Mueller of Upton; advocate, Claude
Bryant of Independence; warden, J.
D. Hurley of Leavenworth.
The following delegates to the ma
tional convention to be held in New
York were elected: Ri Rev. John
Maher of Salina, Rev. Father Dol
mann of Paola, Earl Johnson of COT
feyviile, George Bordenkircher of
Emporia, James A Munnick of Kan
sas City and c. A. Beeby of Hays.
The Knights decided to raise a sum
of money during the year for the pur-
pose of establishing centers for the
Catholic students at state educational
institutions, the minimum tie be fifty
thousand dollars.
A resolution was adopted declar-
ing that the Knights in the state of
Kansas are in full sympathy with the
world movement for the recognition
