REDPATH CHAUTAUQUA HERE
July 6.

The Redpath Chautauqua comes
to Paris for the first time, next
Tuesday, July 6, and continuing to
July Is, with a varied and timely
program of amusement and in
struction features. ~
Local guarantors predict that this
seasons Chautauqua will be the
most successful Paris has ever ex-
perienced. The program, besides
furnishing entertainment and
amusement, aims to bring before
the people discussions of the new
social and economic conditions,
the trend toward Bolshe-
vism, unsettled industrial situ-
atoms, radical changes in the
standard of living, increasing costs
of living necessities, the inroads
made by disease, and the lack of
human efficiency in almost all lines
of human endeavor.
The story telling, work this year
Will be more emphasized than ever,
and the entire program will be one
that will please both old and young.
The musical features of the pro
gram will be especially pleasing
Mr.. w. l.. Cochran will be superin-
tendent of the Chautauqua program
in this city.

TAX THE LOAFER

The occupation tax is right and
Just, but the man who has no occu-
patton at all should be made to pay
for using the town as loafing
place. Not many men would care
about going out in the woods and
lean UP against tree day after day,
but there must be some benefit de-
rived from leaning against build
ing, the door casing of a business
house, or on the show case of mer-
chants store. There would be
nothing very exciting in taking a
soap box out into the pasture, tilt
ing it against the fence and watch
ing the cows go by, but seat in
front of hotel or even the curbing
evidently has some value to the
loafer for which he should be made
to pay. The fact that people con-
gregate in a town, should give the
town a social value which is as real
as some of the trading advantages,
and those who appropriate this adj
vantage should pay for it.

Delegate to Entente Council

Berlin, Dec. 31.-Germany will
make every effort to limit the sur

LEARNED today.
The government, beneath the sur
raSe. is making desperate attempts 70
nave the allies modify as far as pos
sible the question of delivery and trial
or war criminals, according to infor-
nation here
Herr Won Simson, German repre-
sentative IN Paris, has presented the
German arguments to the peace con-
ference, it was said. contending.
among other things. that the German
government is frankly doubtful of it's
ability to withstand the serious inter-
nal situation which would be caused
by any general delivery of war guilty.
Protect War Leaders.
The surrender of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and General Ludendorff,
for instance, it was pointed out, would
be sure to raise such a storm from
their following that the government
would be in grave danger. The Hin
denburg groups, especially, it was as
serted, would never countenance sur
render of their hero.
The government also fears. it was
said, it would be unable to enforce or
der to quell demonstrations it feels
certain any extensive delivery would
incur. The '.reichswehr," it was said,
would not aid in any plan to deliver
former comrades.
Won Simson. it was understood, has
advanced all these arguments, clinch-
ing it with a statement that dealing
with the government toward peace IS
certainly more important than leading
to trial any, of the former German
leaders.
The cabinet, it was understood, al
ready has given the matter serious
thought, as delivery of the war guilty
is ordered as soon as the peace treaty
becomes ffectiye-probably early next
month

DECEMBER IN KANSAS

(By S. ID. Flora, U. S. MeteoroIogist.)
December just passed was the most
gloomy, foggy month Topeka has been
inflicted with for more than 4 years
time, and, with three exceptions, it
was the coolest December on the local
record, begun in 1887, as shown by the
detailed summary just completed by
the weather bureau.
Temperatures were below the freez-
ing point at some time on each of 81
days of the month and failed to rise
above it at any time on 5 of them.
Zero weather occurred on 4 days, with
minimum of 9 degrees below on
December 10, which is the second
lowest December temperature on rec
ord The monthly mean ranged 6
really mild day was the thirtieth,
when the temperature rose to 81 de-
grees
Measurable snow lay on the ground
the first II days of the month and
the last remnant of it did not disap-
pear Until a week later, but, oddly
enough. the total fall of moisture was
only .07 inch and less than that of
any other December, except one.
Snow flurries, or misting rain fell on
10 days.
The sunshine was but So per cent of
the possible amount that might have
been received with clear skies and
less than that credited to any other
December in the past IS years
Eleven days were clear. 3 partly
cloudy, and II cloudy. The wind
movement was above normal.
1t was a fine month for winter
wheat, which was protected by the
snow covering during the prevalence
of the extremely low temperatures and
benefited by the percolation of water
into the unfrozen soil when the snow
melted. The cold weather caused a
practical suspension of farm work and

"PEPP" HAS NEW PLAN
TopeIkan Adopts Savings Idea To Re
Ncve Coal Shortage Next Winter.


An original plan to relieve future
coal shorta ges, store fuel in the sum
mer months and bring about easy pay
ments on the winters warmth supply
was announced in Topeka today by H.
L. Peppmeyer of the Topeka Coal
company.
Peppmeyer's plan is to inaugurate
weekly payments to be deposited with
the Prudential Trust company. In
July and August these payments will
terminate and the coal will be deliv-
cred.
Il am figuring on at least 1000 Gus
toner's Peppmeyer explained today.
"Avera ging six tons of coal this means
that by the end of August one thou
sand Topeka homes will be equipped
for winter fuel necessities and six
thousand tons of coal will have been
stored away here. 1t means that the
prevented and that strikes, transpor-
tation problems and shortages will
come without serious concern to this
city,
All grades of coal are offered under
the new plan, as outlined in an adj
vertisement in The State Journal to-
day.
I. E. Henry of the Prudential Trust
company is honored with pass book
No. 1 today Peppmeyer expects hun
dreds to follow in the next few days.
The idea probably will be known as
"Pepp's Sunshine Plan" and has been
copyrightek1. Undoubtedly it will be
sold to other cities oyerthe country in
the next few weeks. 1t is an out
growth of the Christmas savings clubs
| in the local banks.
Summer delivery means that the
consumers will have the advantage OF
rock bottom prices.
