Glory Of the Fathers House.

It were effort vain as heartless to
minimize the grief of the many who
mourn. But with how much Of COM
fort can they look from their desolate
homes, If they can think Of those for
whom they grieve, not as dead, but as
gone on a journey to the eternal sum-
mer-land. They have escaped the chill
and the blight Of this worlds sin and
shame. In the glory Of the Fathers
house they await our coming. A lit
tie longer we tarry here. until the sun
of life's little day shall sink to its
setting. A little longer, until the morn
ing breaks, and the shadows flee away.
Then, in the homeland we shall see
those whom we have loved and lost
awhile, and him who is the Resurrec-
ton and the Lfe.-Western Christian

The people Of Central and South
America have been increasing the
quantity Of milk consumed In the last
few years.
Decrease by War.
In Canada there was a great de
crease in the consumption Of whole
milk due to the war. Prior to the wal
the use of whole milk had reached q
daily average Of one pint, or about 42.4
gallons a year, but in 1917 the milk
consumed averaged only 26 gallons
which is q decrease of about 40 per
cent. In England the average quantity
Of milk consumed yearly was only 22.2
gallons before the war, but every ef-
fort has been made to increase the con-
sumption and especially to give grow
ing children the amount needed by
them. That country Is now conducting
a campaign to raise the consumption
to quart a day for children under five
years of age.
In other European countries the
quantity of milk available for con-
sumption was reduced during the war,
and in some sections there was not
enough even for the sick. The chill
dren seldom saw either good or bad
milk.
In nearly all countries, just prior to
the war, the consumption of milk per
person was increasing. The milk was
being produced under better condi-
tions. The war came and proved the
value of milk as a food for children,
for wounded and sick soldiers and for
home folks.
Since the period Of reconstruction
began many committees and commits
sions in the principal dairy countries
have been endeavoring to classify the
information derived from war expert
ences relative to the value of milk and
milk products, and to increase the
quantity and improve the quality Of
the milk products consumed.

FLEE TO BRITISH

Little Chance Great Britain
WiIfAid French Advance.

London, April 7.-More than two
thousand troops of the defeated Ger
man communist army have fled into
the British zone of occupation. where
they were informed. a dispatch from
Coblentz said today.
There is little probability OF Great
Britain participating in the French
advance into Germany. as far as can
be ascertained at present. and, accord
ing to statement current in some
quarters, the British government feels
itself placed in an awkward position
by the French occupation Of German
cities.

When such a move was discussed re-
Gently at the meeting of the am bassa-
doris council, it is said Great Britain
and Italy dissented or at any rate
! strongly urged the necessity of care
full consideration before taking any
definite steps. 1t was not expected
France would proceed to occupy the
neutral zone without their formal ap-
proval. Such approval, it is said, GER
tainly has never been given and when
the British government was faced with
the accomplished fact, it was consider
ably surprised.
OF these reports there is no official
confirmation but they are accepted in
some usually well informed quarters.
Supreme Council Meets.
The supreme council will meet in
London tomorrow TO consider the Ger
man situation, it was announced to-
day.

Chicago. April Z

Chicago, April 7.-Where have all
the beggars gone?
There aren't any, any more. hardly.
Work at high wages and easy hours
is rapidly thinning the ranks of the
beggar profession and turning the
mendiednts into industrious American
citizens, according to observers here.
Weary Willies'' have also become
inoculated with the work germ and
their appearance at the back door to
panhandle a handout' is now rare.
A survey of leading cities in the
middle west and on the Pacific coast
today showed that beggars, hoboes
and tramps are quitting their profess
sions to join in high salaried pros
perity.
Two years ago Chicago had at least
two thousand beggars, according to
Chief of Detectives Mooney here.
Now; 1 doubt If we have a hum
dred," he said. They're going to
work. There are still a few here.

Laundry girls in Parsons. Judge

on a strike. Four of the large laun-
dries of the town have appealed to
the court of industrial relations for re-
lief in the form of an order to compel
the laundry workers to return to their
jobs.
Employees in the Parsons laundry in
viding just the service which each
worker should perform. The laundry
owners refused to sign such con-
tract. They asserted the work was
not sufficiently heavy to warrant en-
ployment of specialists in the shirt,
socks and lingerie departments. So
the girls went on a strike in spite of
the fact that they are residents of the
home town of one of the Industrial
court judges.

OIL FRAUD is CHARGED
Atchison Man Asks ReceiycrsEip for
Willard Petroleum Company.

H G. West, president of the Farm
ers' National bank, and M. c. Willard,
promoter, are charged with fraud in
a petition for a receivership for the
Willard Petroleum company filed in
the district court by Thomas Highfill
of Atchison. A judgment for $4,000
is demanded in the petition against
West and Willard, the Farmers Ma
tional bank and the Willard Petro-
1eum company.
Attorneys for Highfill claim that
fully $4,000 was raised from small
investors in oil and placed in the
hands of West, as trustee, at first and
later in the hands of the bank, as
trustee and finally it went into the
Willard Petroleum company, incor-
porated, last December, they say.
1t is claimed in the petition that
Willard and West entered into an
agreement recorded in Marion county,
by which they attempted to divide
the $4,000 invested in a different
manner than that understood by the
investors to be the method of distribu-
ton of the money and proceeds of a
$500 a day well claimed to be located
on the company's lease.
"A hearing on the petition will be
held before Judge George H. Whit
comb at o'clock Friday afternoon
1.-THE squabble is between the oil
men," Attorney McDermott of the
bank said today. III, G. West and the
Farmers National bank were simply
