STOP FOR MEALS AGAIN
Union Pacific Will Run Trains In
Two Sections

For the first time in twenty years
Union Pacific passengers will take
their noon meal at Abilene, the first
bunch having been fed by the Union
Pacific hotel today. This was for
merly the plan but when dining cars
were put on the practice was stop
ped.
Owing to the heavy travel, high
rates seeming to increase the bus
mess, trains 1O4 and 1913 will run
in two sections. The first section
carries dining car, Plllmans, bag
gage and express cars only and the
second section carries baggage and
day coaches and stops for meals,
taking the noon meal here. Only
the Pullman passengers can enjoy
the dining car privilege.
No. 110 and No. 1O2 east of Sa-
lima when they have more than 10
cars will be run as two sections,
the first section to have the baggage,
dining car and Pullmans, the Sec
ond section the mail and coaches.
From Salina to Ellis 119 and 1902
will run in two sections when they
have more than ten cars.

OIL WELLS ARE PROGRESSING
Elmo Is Now Down 2,4OO Feet
Field Moving North?

The Elmo oil well which Is one on
which many hopes are based Is now
down 2,4OO feet. The drillers are
having some trouble but the contract
Is for 1000 feet which is 300 feet
deeper than any test has gone. Ihe
Chronister well is around 1000 feet
and work is going on; the Fink well
is about 1900 feet. The field In
Marion county is moving north. Re
ports from the drilling there say:
1.-THE test on the Piper eighty In
the west half of the southwest quar-
ter of section 1924 came In this
morning and is flowing over the top.
This news is especially interesting
here for several men here who with
some Clay Center parties own the
eighth royalty on the lease. 1t Is
also interesting from the fact that 1t
extends the Covert pool over a quar-
ter of mile north and in line WIFI
the Remple gas wells. When the bit
went into the sand the driller pre-
dicted there would be four hundred
feet of oil in the hole when he got
the bit out. He was more than right
for within ten minutes after the bit
had been drawn the oil was flowing
over the top. This makes even forty
producers in the Covert field to date
and all but five or six have come In

The Dickinson county hospital
finance committee and general com
mittee plan to open the fall campaign
for additional subscriptions soon.
The finance committee Is working
out a plan Of township organization
and supervision by committeeman
for each township. This plan Will
be completed and presented at a
luncheon to be given at the Abilene
Club rooms either on Tuesday or
Wednesday of next week. At the
close of the intensive campaign In
MAY, there was over $4,000 in sub.
scriptions. The general plan Is to
push the subscriptions up to $780,
600. 1t Is reported that Hays, Kan
sas, collected $125,00O for new hos
pital In an eleven day canvass. An
appeal was made to the civic pride
of the citizens, and a splendid result
was obtained. Abilene and Dickin-
son county are no less fortunately
located than Hays and other middle
Kansas towns that have fine hospi-
tails. The county has prospered, and
been blessed with an abundant har-
vest. The desire of the committee

SAYS WATCH WHEAT FIELDS
New Disease Said 10 Be Destructive
n CrODS

A sharp lookout should be kept on
all wheat fields this year for disease
according to Mr.. Steanson Of the de-
partment Of vocational agriculture al
the high school. Several farmers Of
this vicinity suffered reduced yields
this year from disease Of some kind.
The department Of vocational agri-
culture has taken the matter up with
the experiment station at the Agri-
cultural College but Mr.. Steans0n
says that the state plant patholOgist
has not been able ~ identify the
disease positively. Further work
and observation will be necessary
during the coming year. A disease
known as "take-all" is suspicioned.
In reviewing the situation, Mr..
Steanson says that extreme caution
should be observed. 1t may be
disease Of wheat, root rot caused by
a fungus. that has been imported
from foreign countries. 1t has been
positively identified in only couple
places in the United States. It seems
W uV an ~ tHC Wheut ihuuStiy
as cholera is to the hog business, and
probably more difficult to control.
Fields supposed to have this disease
should not be seeded to wheat. The
use OF a cultivated crop Is the best
method Of controlling this disease. As
fungi require some moisture for their
growth, frequent cultivation checks
their spread. The soil is broken up
and exposed to the air and sun.
Little is known of the 'take-alp
disease Of wheat" says Mr.. Steam
son. but 1t is so dangerous that too
much caution cannot be exercised.
Anyone who observes fields Of wheat
becoming yellow in spots either this
fall or next spring should cOmmuni-
cate with the department of vOca-
tional agriculture at the Abilene high
school,"

section in the covenant of the League
which the federation chose to call Ia
bor's bill of rights"
Labor holds, according to the official
announcements, that the League of
Nations means a reduction of military
and naval strength and a consequent
reduction of effort and expenditure for
those things. 1t means a reduction of
the manufacturer of munitions and it
means a great International effort to
forward those measures that make for
the improvement of the standards and
the health of the people in all sigma
tory nations.
1.-THE League of Nations has been at
tackled from two directions. 1t has
been opposed by the extreme reaction
aries and by the extreme radicals.
at is but natural that reaction
should oppose the covenant, for the
covenant provides the best check on re-
action.
Extreme radicals oppose the cove
nant on the ground hat the League
means a stiffening everywhere against
change. That is vicious untruth. The
League does provide the best possible
check against turbulent and unhealthy
upheaval of destructive character, but
it facilitates and encourages evolution
airy development and progress"
The Penn's Grove record., 1920-10-29

Many big employers of labor over
the country are giving hundreds of en-
ploves a week or more vacation, with
out pay, to read and study the League
of Nations Covenant and hat is Will
sonism. The good record made by
Woodrow Wilson as President for
seven and a half years with a Demo-
cratic Congress has never been equalled
in any fifty years history of any ma
ton for progressive legislation for the
benefit of the people, not only in this
country, but in all the world.
There is now in circulation between
$51 n $52 more than twice the dollars
there We're in 1912, before the Federal
Reserve law was enacted as Demo-
cratic legislation. The laborer and
producers of crops get two dollars
where they formerly got one. Back to
"normalcy" means fewer dollars,
cheaper products, cheaper men.
Consider labor, farm crop producers.
Study during vacation. Read the
League Of Nations Covenant. Read, if
you have to buy. borrow or steal it.
Read it, use your brains and vote for
worldwide freedom. A vote for Cox
and Roosevelt means World Freedom,
and the end of national stealing. The
end Of war. the beginning of the end
of ornaments. 1t means devoting
mems skill to the arts of peace, world
wide brotherhood.

Appeal To Women

Sixty-ive American women promin-
ent in political, suffrage, educational
and literary fields and social service
and organized labor activities, headed
by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, the suf-
frage leader, Joined in an appeal to the
women of the nation to support Cox
and Roosevelt on the League of Natinos
issue. They urged the women to
"serve the great cause of peace" by
working for the success of the Demo-
cratic ticket. Senator harding was
condemned for having committed him.
self positively against the League of
Nations.
In signing the appeal Mrs. Gait
abandoned her announced stand for
neutrality in the Presidential campaign,
declaring that she could not endure the
attitude of the Republican party toward
the league. Both Republican and Demo-
cratic National Committees had sought
her support in the present contest, but
she declared that, officially and other
wise, she would remain neutral and not
use her influence as head of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association for

of the League that they will unite to
resist exactly the things which Ger
attempted, no matter who at
tempts them in the future. 1t is as eX-
act definition as could be given in gen.
eral terms of the outrage which Ger
many would have committed if it could.
Germany violated the territorial in
tegrity of her neighbors and 1outed
their political Independence in order to
~agTrandiZe herself, and almost every
war of history has originated in
such designs. 1t is significant that
the nations of the world should have
at last combined to define the general
cause of war and to exercise such con-
cert as may be necessary to prevent
such tho
Article X, therefore,. is the specific
redemption of the pledge which these
free governments of the world gave to
their people when they entered the war.

that Germany would be prevented from
carrying out her plot, but the world
would be s~afeguarded in the future
from similar designs"
