A HEALTHY OPPOSITION

Even the most rock-ribbed stand
patter is agreed that there must be
opposition and contention in a polit-
ical way in order that government
may be kept responsive to the will of
the people-only, they limit the num-
Der Of parties to. two and reserve the
right to say which two may be con-
sidered as respectable" Any group
that offers real opposition to the vest
ed special interests is denounced as
dangerous and must run the gauntlet
Of sneers, ridicule and misrepresenta,
ton by the press that is subservient
to the powers that now profit by the
control of the government.
What vast benefits accrued to the
people of the state by the real oppo
sition given the old politicians by the
. Non-Pa artisan League, making it nee
essary for such politicians to make
concessions, is apparent from the

Much Iron in Philippines.

The finest unworked iron fields In
the world have been discovered in the
Philippines, according to report from
government experts recently received
by the United States bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, says the
Washington Post. The quantities Of
ore adjacent to good harbors, they
state, will be sufficient to assure the
future iron and steel production in the
United States for generations. Already
land believed to contain more than
500,OO0,OOO tons has been surveyed. De-
posits on the island of Mindanao are
believed to be, without rival. They
contain 275,OOO,0OO tons close to good
harbors and 130,OOO,OO0 tons within
easy transportation distance Of Dajkin
bay, perhaps the best natural harbor
on the islands. Only crude iron work
in primitive shelters is being carried
on at present.

ORIGINAL COMIC
SWEDISH SCHOOL
Swedish Literary Society viii Pre-.
sent School Room Scene

The Swedish Literary Society at it's
regular monthly meeting will attempt
something radically at odds with any
kind of program presented in the
past. This program will be in the
nature of a play to be written and
constructed by the program committee
A classroom in a Swedish school is
the subject of the play. August Fors-
berg, our Postmaster, is already at
work writing the play which is ex-
.pected to be one continuous stream of
humor. Mr.. Forsberg will reproduce
a class of Swedish pupils during the
last day of school with the one aim to
give as much merriment as possible
to the audience. Those who are to
have roles in the play and act as pu-
pills will be selected from the society
membership roll. Elders of both sexes
will take part. Mr.. Forsberg will be
the strict schoolmaster. Costumes
and DISCUSSES will be used and the
scene made as much like schoolroOm
as can be accomplished.
This amusement feature is expected
to be a ticker and it is felt that a
small admission fee should be char
ged to meet small expenses incurred
in preparation for the play.

The DefiIinq Hand Of Man.

1t is a humiliating reflection that
man, when he comes in his numbers,
defiles and defaces, and makes ugly
more than the wild beast. One has
but to find his trail on any green
place. The orange peels, the dirty and
torn newspapers, the old boots, the
broken crockery and utensils, have
power to destroy beauty and peace and
Danish the Spirit Of Place. When he
stretches out hand over what once
was countryside, how depressing are
his little houses, his clinker paths, in
fields where the mole delved industri-
ously from dawn to dark, where the
lark climbed a thousand winding
stairs into MISUNDERSTANDING lyman
in the Kings Highway.

FIGURES IN POLISH HISTORY
Countess Potocka, Of Obscure Birth,
Became Wife Of Great Nob!eman
g. Of That Country.

The Countess Potocka lived obscure
~ in, the days between the first and
second partitions of Poland. She was
born in 1906, and was the daughter of
a Greek shoemaker at !Constantinople.
Her extraordinary beauty and her pow
erty brought her to misfortune. A
French consul named Boscamp took
her away from Constantinople to Po-
land. There she is said to have mar
ried Russian general, and later to
have divorced him.
Then she married Count Stanislaw
Felix Potocka, one of the wealthiest
noblemen of Europe, a Pole of great
influence but slight ability, who is re-
garded as a traitor who did much to
bring ruin to Poland. The countess
lived for many years in Berlin, where
her beauty created furore in the
ranks Of society. She died there in
1922.
Count POtOcka was the Rockefeller
Of Poland. He owned several castles
and enormous estates, possessing in
GOO acres. When he became of age he
married secretly very attractive
cousin. When the story of their elope-
ment was divulged there were terrible
scenes. Although heawas old enough
to be husband Felix was logged and
his young wife, berated and stunned
finally threw herself into pond to es.

OBITUARY--FULTS

Mrs. Fife Lee Fults, so years old,
wife of Daniel A. Fults, died at 4:3O
O'Clock yesterday morning at the fam
lily home, 621 South Lamine Avenue.
Her death resulted from a stroke of
apopleXy sustained Tuesday evening.
Daniel Fults, Jr., her son, who had
been taking part in the DeMolay in
itiation at the Masonic Temple, re-
turned home about II o'clock Tues
day night, and found his mother un-
conscious on the bathroom floor. He
Immediately summoned a physician
and every medical attention possible
was given her but she never regained
consciousness. She had seemingly
been in perfect health when Daniel
left home earlier in the evening.
At the time, Daniel and his mother
were the only members of the family
at home. Mr.. Fults, who is sales
man for the Gordon-Ferguson Fur
House of st. Paul, Mimi, was in
Oklahoma and two daughters. Ger
trude and Ruth, were attending school
at Hays, Kansas.
About noon Mr.. Fults was located
at Anadarko, Okla, but because of
poor railroad facilities there will be
unable to make connections to arrive
home before this evening. The daugh-
ters arrived from Hays, last night.
Mrs. Fults was a member of the
Broadway Presbyterian Church and a
home loving woman. She was loved
by all who had the pleasure of her
acquaintance and had a legion of
friends who extend their sympathy
to the family.-Sedalia Capital.
Effie Lee McLain, or Birdie, as she
was known by her young friends
here, was born in Canton, Ohio, July
II, 1871, and came with her parents
to Kansas in the summer of 1878
locating in Hays. She was educated
in the Public Schools of this place
and grew to womanhood here. She
was married to Mr.. D. A. Fults, at
7th day of April, 1892 She is sur
vived by her husband, two daughters,
Gertrude McLain and Ruth Eliza
beth, and one son, Daniel Fults, Jr.,
her father, Judge F. E. McLain, two
sisters, Kathryn E. and Alice L., and
one brother, c. F. McLain. Funeral
services were held at the family home,
Friday, April 29th, at 2:3O o'clock p.
m, Reverend Spencer Edmunds of
the Broadway Presbyterian Church
officiating.

Financing a Country Nurse

At the evening luncheon of the
Chamber of Commerce on May oath,
the time will be devoted to the dis
cussion of this most important sub
ject-Financing a County Nurse
The funds of the Red Cross are not
something must be done
in the county to take care of this SER
vice.
Only thoroughly trained nurse
can be eligible for this most import
ant position and naturally a salary
must be paid somewhat equal to the
service rendered. Without the useful
little Ford coupe it would not be pos
sible for our Public Health Nurse TO
| cover the territory of this county.
Is the public health nurse to become a
permanent institution? If so, then
some means must be devised for
meeting the cost.
Someone has said that 1.-The hope
of tomorrow lies in making health
catching, instead of disease" AS a
race we may consider ourselves a
great deal smarter than the people of
China, but where does the laugh
come in when we speak of their pol
icy Of paying the doctor while they
are we'll, and shutting off his income
when they become i'll?
Ignorance of the laws of quaran-
tine, and ventilation alone, cost US
annually millions of lives.
During the first epidemic of the
flu in this county, kind neighbors an
swered the distress call from GER
tain home. The entire family stricken
by the dread disease, were found in a
house with all of its windows and
doors tightly closed. Every time a
window was raised by the helpers to
let in the life-saving fresh air, the
careful father would close them again
in his mistaken endeavors to protect
his loved ones.
We all know now, only too well,
the price we paid for freedom from
quarantine during the first flu cpl
demic; not only this community, but
the country at large
Put on your thinking cap'' and
evolve a good practical plan for Fin
ancing a County Nurse.

TO OUR PATRONS

With this isue of the Free Press we
are changing the paper from a seven
column eight page patent ''inards"
to eight pages six columns All Home
Print. We have also cut the sub
scription price to $3.50 per year, the
pre-war price, and for $3.50 Cash in
Advance, we will send the Free Press
Two Years. All present subscribers,
by paying all arrearages and $3.50 in
advance, will get the benefit of the
two dollar fifty rate.
The Free Press would have been
printed all at home several years ago,
but during the war paper was scarce
and hard to get. Now as paper has
become more plentiful and a few
cents cheaper in price, We have de-
cided to change.
Remember the subscription price :
Single yearly subscriptions $3.50;
$3.50 in advance the Free Press for
two years.
Hoping the change will please our
patrons, and especially our advertis-
ers, we are
Respectfully yours,

the silver trophy cup to Fairview, the
winner of the meet. Emerson Rob-
