NOTED FINANCIER
SOUNDS WARNING.
SIR GEORGE PAsIH SEES CHAOS
BROUGHT BY PRESENT
POLICIES.
t8
1MPER1AL1sM OF VICTORIOUS
] ! NATIONS MUST BEaABAN-
DoNED, HE SAYS.

T Sir George Paish, one cf:the best known
men inssinternational finance, who has
served England on financial missions to
America in several important crises,
is the latest to denounce the policies
agreed on by the peace council and
pursued since that time
None Of the European labor or Socialist
leaders engaged in fighting Imperialism
in their respective nations have denounc-
ed it in more open terms than does Paish
in current number of a London maga-
zine, Ways and Means.
E Nations, capitalists and working
forces are vying with each other" says
Paish, .'in their effort to secure individ
ual advantage and are bringing the world
to ruin
B Until n owl have, from time to time,
directed attention to- The economic and
financial situation in confident expecta-
tion that the dangers could and would
be averted when those in power became
aware of their existence. Never was
there greater need of a liberal policy Of
international understanding and Of inter
national cooperation, but probably never
were the individual nations more intent
upon pursuing their own narrow interests
regardless Of the disaster which such
policy at this time must entail.
Imperialism Destroys.
Notwithstanding the suffering of war
brought about by the intention Of the
central powers to promote their own
narrow interests; regardless Of the inc
vitable injury which they would commit
against humanity and themselves, the
victorious powers are now and always
have been; pursuing a similar policy
which must entail an even greater de
gree Of suffering not only upon the central
powers but upon themselves as well.
Never was it SO necessary for the
powers to seek their@oWn good by pro-
noting general good and. never were
they less willing to do SO.
SO far as. it is possible to come to
definite conclusions the course the
nations are pursuing threatens to bring
| about almost complete paralysis of trade
and commerce within the next few
months. Il can not now,se any possible
method Of preventing the franc from
falling as far or nearly as far as the
mark, while depreciation Of: the lire may
be nearly as great. Nor can | discover
any step likely to be taken until after
the mischief has been done, which can
prevent the pound from falling from it's
present level of under 81 to SO or even
| lower.
| New Spirit Needed.
! '"The nations, one after the other, are
falling into the abyss OF poverty and pri-
walton created by the war and by tie
nature of the peace.
If the peoples are to be preserved
from starvation and civilization from
destruction, not moment must now be
lost in making the people aware of thei1
great danger and in assisting them to
cooperate. In order to overcome it the
world must be animated by a new spirit
or perish

HALF MILLION
THRIFT CLUBS

Great progress has been made by the
tonne Circle Thrift Club movement
.arted by the War Loan Organiza-
on of the sixth district on the first
II January More than a million leaf
cts have been sent out through the
,rhooIs and these messages have
.rached half million homes.
This was made possible by the CO.
.neration of the superintendent of
,o11nty and city school systems and
he fifteen thousand teachers, who
AVE taken part in the work. The
.aachsrs explain the Home Circle
rhrift Club idea to the pupils and dis
r.bute among them series of leaf
IS which the children take home to
:heir parents.
These leaflets go out a week apart.
The first is entitled IA message to
nother;" the second "A message to
slther' and the third "A joint mes
.lge. to mother and father" They tell
a simple language the story of thrift
~ it's most wholesome and inspiring
-nrm, with some of the finest examples
II it among the boys and girls of the
south.
The series closes with a request to
ne parents to organize a Thrift Club
n home with every one of the family
3 a member. Hundreds of postal
ards have already come in showing
hat such clubs have been organized.
When the War Loan Organization re-
Gives notice that a Thrift Club has
been organized in family, it mails to
hat home a bulletin on family bud
gets. which is one of the most prac-
cal yet devised for the encourage
,1ent of home economy.
School superintendent editors,
nankers and business men are taking
an active part and in many cases the
minister's are preaching on thrift.
Already more than one-fourth of the
-chools in the Southeastern States
have become active in this work and
4. is estimated by April practically all
# them will have taken part in it
The plan does not burden the teachers
with much detail. They are only
asked to make a thrift talk and dis
ribute leaflets among the children to
&c taken home to their parents. This
IT'S into the plan heretofore adopted
in most schools for systematic instruc-
ION in thrift.
Thrift instruction in the schools has
hecome so general that in a number
If states the superintendent of edu-
oation have taken the position that
this should be a part of the regular
school work and that thrift should be
l1ught as regularly as arithmetic, or
any other study.
A number of business men have de-
Jared that it is the most practical and
far-reaching plan yet adopted by the
government to establish the habit of
thrift among the people.

AL. OUTLINES
BOOK PROGRAM
BOOKS FOR EVERYBODY" is
SLOGAN OF LIBRARIANS WHO
AIM TO REACH FOREIGN BORN
CITIZENS,

The American Library Association
has entered upon a movement to Gre
1.e a better citizenship and to throw
q healing light upon the industrial and
economic problems now agitating the
country through the application of its
Books For Everybody" project.
There are in the United States to-
day 10000 900 foreign born who de-
pond chiefly upon the foreign press.
If the proper books do not exist in
sufficient numbers the Association as
part Of its enlarged program will seek
10 bring the publisher and translator
together in order that the needs of the
situation may be met. The association
believes the wave of unrest is due in
measure to the lack of a proper
understanding on the part of the for
On born and that a solution Of the
problem will be found in books which
breathe the spirit OF American ideals
and traditions.
The extension of the county library
system, which assures a flexible cir
rulation to every section of the coun-
~ adopting it, is another phase of the
or larged program which the y. /. A.
advocates. The need of more books
in the uniform type for the $4,000
blind people in the United States is
Stil another problem with which the
enlarged program deals.
To carry out the enlarged program
two million dollars will be required.
This money will not be obtained
through the agency of a drive but
through the individual efforts of the
1000 librarians who constitute the
association membership.
Much % the enlarged program has
been In operation for some time. The
nook service to the merchant marine,
through which good books are pro-
Nlded for the American sailors on
American ships, is firmly established.
So too, have the needs of the light
mouse keepers, the coast guards and
lt.F hospitals Of the L. s. Public
Health Service been cared for
One OF the points which the Ameri-
can Library association advocates is
the wider use of Industrial and tech
meal books. It clearly points out the
lack Of sufficient Industrial and BUSH
ness libraries mad strongly urges man.

That Solomon Road

A tourist who went through here
the other day said the Golden Belt
road between here and Abilene
should be called the Camel Route. {"
When asked the why of the name
he gave this answer: Because it has
a hump to every four feet" Solo
mon Tribune.
Which raises the question: What
Is the matter with the Solomon end
Of the county road? 1t used to be
fairly passable-now it Is something
to cause profanity. There is some
talk of marking a new road to Salina
to avoid 1t over the following route !:
South on Washington street one
mile, west mile, south a mile, cross
Baker bridge, follow river to end Of
road, south half mile, straight west
with the road to the river southwest
Of Solomon, south mile, west two
miles. north a mile, coming out on
the Golden Belt at the brick school
house, thence west to Salina on the
Golden Belt. It is well kept road,
and though slightly longer avoids
several miles of bad road between
Sand Springs and two miles west of
Solomon.

LEAVE OUT RILEY COUNTY
II. w. Jacobs on Committee to Re-
route Golden Belt Highway


H. p. Powers Of Junction City hal
been named chairman Of the Golden
Belt Road association committee that
is to map out a new route for this
highway between Junction City and
Wamego. H. w. Jacobs Of Junction
City and formerly of Abilene has
been designated as a member of the
committee, which is composed of
three men, the third being Will
Graves of Topeka.
Appointment Of the committee
followed a decision Of the Golden
Belt association to change the route,
avoiding Riley county, where 1t is i'm
possible to secure any improvements
on the highway. The route through
Riley county is said to be in worse
shape than anywhere else in the
state, and the subject of most COM
plant by the thousands Of tourists
who use the highway.
The route will go southwest from
Junction City over what is soon to be
a paved road. Leaving Geary county
at a point near Alta Vista, the Gold
en- Belt route would run down Mill
creek to Alma and thence north to
Wamego. The people along the route
promise that it shall be kept in per-
feet condition.

w. q. Stone, driver Of the car
which two weeks ago ran over and
killed Grant Blake Of Salina, book
keeper for the Stevenson Transfer
Company, today made settlement in
the sum Of $17,5OO according to a
journal entry filed in Saline county
district court. The amount Of the
Judgment is $500 more than could
have been collected under the stat
utes of the state of Kansas and brings
to close a case which has attracted
much attention in the entire vicinity.
The statement made public today
by DR.. G. d. Blake, brother Of the
dead man, exonerates Mr.. Stone from
any wrongful intent in striking Mr..

PLAN COMMUNITY CHORUS
People In Vinzant School District
Want to Sing This Winter

Thursday afternoon H. 8. Todd
who lives in the vicinity Of Longford
was In Abilene looking for some one
who could direct a chorus of about
100 members which is being organ
lied In the neighbOrhood Of the Vim
zant school east of LOngford. Mr.
Todd stated that there were four or
five neighborhoods in the vicinity
which were anxious to join the plan
and have a regular old fashioned
school, to meet once every
week this winter. The idea was
started about five years ago but the
war and other outside interests made
1t impossible to 60 on with 1t at that
time. Now however they are ready
to start again and expect to have
fine chorus and bigger community
spirit by the time the winter is over.

SHOULD KEEP A COST SYSTEM
Mercer Says Farmers Could Thus
Show Public Cost Of Crop

Show Public Cost Of Crop
Farmers should carry on cost
system of bookkeeping in order TO be
able to show the public the actual
cost Of farm products, according to
J. ii. Mercer, secretary Of the Kan
sas Livestock Association.
"Such system would have q
great tendency toward equalizing
the value Of farm products on the
markets Of the country" said Mr..
Mercer 1.-THE high cost of living IL
in great many instances based on
the speculative price the consumer
pays and not on what 1t costs to pro.
duce the commodity. For example,
potatoes sold last fall out of the pro-
ducers hands for $1.25 to $1.4O a
bushel and since last winter have
sold from 81 to 81.
The producer has not been making
this profit. It is either the specula-
tor or the trader who manipulates
theese things by storing a supply.
Cost charges Of all farm opera
tions should be kept by every farm
er in detailed way:
"First-An inventory Of the real
estate with all fixed improvements
should be taken based, Of course,
upon the value Of land Of the like
selling in the community. This
would be basis on which to figure
the annual interest.
"Third-LivestOck should be list J
ed, including horses and mules used
in doing the work Of the farm. They |
should be kept separate from stock |
horses. Milk cows and the cost Of |
their keep and the amount of dairy |
products derived from them should be
listed. All other cattle used either
for breeding or meat purposes should
be kept separate and the cost of
their maintenance including feed, etc.
"Fourth-The salary Of the owner
Of the land should be made a charge
based upon reasonable salary for farm
work and management and the cost
Of all hired labor and the cost Of all
work done on the farm whether by
hired labor or that of the family.
should be kept account Of as an over
head charge. Table. expense Of the
family as well as the cost of board
Ing hands should always be taken
INTO consideration. A certain charge
should be made for upkeep Of equip
nent and farm implements. etc., in
'act account should be kept for every
element Of expense that enters into
he upkeep and maintenance Of the
arm and in doing so account could

luction.
Accounts of this kind can be kept

INTERESTED WHEAT HURT
But Last Week Was Ideal For Ripen'
Ing the Corn

Unthreshed wheat has suffered
heavy loss due to the long season of
wet weather up to Sept. 13. In the
western half Of the state the loss is
estimated at from 10 to 20 per cent,
according to the latest weekly bulle-

The week Of sunshine, September
1920. with high temperatures was
an ideal one for the ripening corn.
Not drop Of rain was reported any
where in Kansas for the week. The
mount Of corn cut amounts to about
half or three fourths Of the amount
cut at this time Of year.

Hard Job to Hold the AutomobiIe
Drivers of Town

Drivers Of Town
The iron "silent cop" placed at the
intersection of Broadway and Third
and supposed to hold any wayward
automobile driver was broken last
evening and Is a wreck.
The police say the post was struck
by a Ford about midnight when the
streets were clear of vehicles and
think they know the driver.
What Is the matter with Abilene
drivers? Fifteen handsome markers
were erected three years ago and
every one was. eventually smashed.
The handsome cement lamp posts,
though placed on the sidewalks, are
a constant mark, eleven Of them
been demolished by cars that
were driven over the curb. Only one
or two have been paid for though IT
costs $50 per post. Abilene needs
some revised traffic ordinances and
then enforce them to the letter. Peo-
pie who destroy city property should
pay the bill.

ABOLISH HAsTY MARRIAGES
May Have to Announce Them Ahead

VhSy hh1VC ~ nnuVOmCC bDCIU HnGoO
Of Time In Kansas Hereafter
To avoid hasty and Ill advised mar
riages, intention Of marriage shoud
be formally announced long enough
In advance to prevent the caprice Of
circumstance >Or the impulse Of the
moment from carrying people into
regretabe and unhappy wedlock.
And II should be a misdemeanor not
only for the contracting parties to
violate the law but the minister,
justice Of the peace or other Official
authorized to sOlemnize marriages,
to disregard the law.
This Is recommendation which
probably will be made to the next
legislature by the Kansas Children's
Code Commission appointed by the
governor The recommendation is
contained in report by Wilbur N.
Mason, member Of the State Board Of
chairman Of the
