some farmers were burning corn for
fuel. At 20 cents a bushel, he said,
corn would be equivalent to fuel at
$40 ton.
''In districts where corn is very
cheap now the coal is of a rather poor
grade and is selling at high prices. -
he continued. "Under such condi-
tions, it will pay both farmers and
people in country towns to use corn
instead of coal and undoubtedly
large quantities of corn will be burn
ed on western farms this winter, I'M
less the prices should materially ad-
vance"
Mr.. Wallace said the use of surplus
grain as fuel in times of low market
ability was not an uncommon occur
renee in other cereal raising coun-
tries, corn having been burned in
Argentina under such conditions
mot only on the farms but in power
plants"

About the only thing CLEANED from
Private Secretary Tumulty's history
of Ex-President Wilson's life, so far,
is that Tumulty was a much greater
man than the country or world had
any idea. You can read it in almost
every line. Wilson might have falter-
ed at times, made mistakes or judged
the future icorrectly. Not so Tu-
multy. No crisis ever arose that Tu-
multy did not vision the outcome.
Events always proved Tumulty to
have been right. Tumulty's only
rival, it seems, was our late lamented
Mr.. Dooley. AS a matter of fact, Tu-
nudity has not done Wilson any good
by writing his history.-Clay Center

A KANSAS COLLEGE GROWS
Catholic College ~ Hays VIII Spend
a Million
Institution Established by CaPuehin
Fathers Shows Great Advance
ment in Short Periods in
Rich Territory

Nth
Hays, Kans., Nov. 19.-Way back
in 1848, the first Catholic College in
Kansas was esta blished by the Jesuits
at st. Mary's, ninety-two miles west
of Kansas City, and thirty-four miles
from Topeka. Later, st. Benedict's
was established at Atchison. These
for years were the only two Catholic
institutions in the state that came
within the college classification, al
though there were a number of acad-
emies.
A few years ago, however, the
Capuchin fathers established a college
here. It has grown so rapidly that it
has been decided to erect new build
ings at a cost of one million dollars.
The campaign for funds started this
month and is expected to close within
sixty days.
Back of the building of this new
college is an interesting story of an
immigration of a sturdy people to a
new land, where they have founded
prosperous communities and turned
what was once part Of the "Great
American Desert into a rich farming
country. Seven years after the Union
Pacific railroad had been built as far
as Fit. Hays, one of the frontier posts,
a party of English settlers located the
town and colony of Victoria in the
east part of the county. A year later,
w. A Harris, who was to become
senator of Kansas, but then land COM
missioner for the railroad, landed one
day at the station at Victoria with a
large coup of Russian immigrants.
These men came from the great
wheat raising district of the Ukraine
and were among the first to come to
this state. 1t was not long until other
groups came, establishing little towns
and communities in this part of Kan
sas. Finding the soil much like that
of their native land they have become
among the best wheat growers in the
world. They have adopted western
customs and are progressive in bust
ness life and community development.
AS a result Hays is known as one of
the best towns in the state.
For the most part these Russian set
tiers were members of the Catholic
church. And in their desire to edu-
cate their children, they gave strong
support to the parochial schools, built
wherever there was a large enough
settlement to support a church. So
it was that when Bishop Francis J.
lief of the ConcOrdia diocese, which
covers northwestern Kansas, first as
sumed his duties the need of new
college was brought to his attention
and he approved the plan to enlarge
the scope of the institution started
here by the Capuchin fathers.-K. c..

in order that they may keep track of

they date their subscriptions on their

beauty of the scheme is that you are
bound to live another year. No man
ever died who had his subscription
paid up. Nine times out of ten when
a man dies he owes the editor for his
subscription.

The Mighty Press
When old Gutenberg, inventor
Of the printing press and mentor
Of the clumsy-fngered typos
In a sleepy Germantown,
Used to spread the sheets of veIlum
On the form, and plainly tell them
That the art was then perfected
As he pressed the platen down.
He had not the faintest notion
Of the rythmical connection
Of the babble and the clamor
And the unremitting roar
Of the mighty triple-decker
While the mighty steel rods flicker
And the papers, ready folded
Fall in thousands on the floor.

The Hen, Master of Her Profession
When the worms are scarce, what
does the hen do? Does she stop
scratching? She does not. She
scratches all the harder. a lot of
business men have been showing less
sense than the hen since orders be-
came scarce. They have laid off their
statesmen; they have stopped or re-
duced their advertising; they have
simply resigned themselves to inaction
and, of course-to pessimism. If a
hen knows enough to scratch all the
harder when the worms are scarce,
surely business men who are supposed
to possess an ordinary amount of
brains ought to have gumption enough
to scratch all the harder for business.

\ century ago when the sturdy
pioneers blazed their trail into Ohio,
Indiana and later to the plains of nli-
nois, they were accustomed to drive
their stock, usually sheep. but some
times cattle and pigs, many hundreds
of miles from their interior settle
ments to the markets on the Great
Lakes or to the eastern canal points.
There was no other way to get their
stock to market. History is repeating
itself, this time in Colorado, but not
because transportation facilities are
lacking. 1t is reported that herds of
cattle are being driven to the Denver
stockyards from points as far as a
hundred miles away instead of being
hauled by stock train. A recent herd
Of 328 head was driven from eastern
Colorado to Denver and the owner
figured that he saved 500 by elimin-
ating the freight charges. Other
stockmen following the same proceed
ure also say that it is cheaper to drive
stock overland than TO pay the present
freight rates. The incident points
valuable lesson to the railroad owners.

From the speeches and attitude Of
the delegates at the disarmament con-
ference, the people of all nations are
coming to realize the horrors of debt,
the ravages of interest and the un-
necessary and unjust burdens that
labor has TO bear in the activities Of
the world and they seem anxious to
reduce these burdens by reducing war
expenditures and eventually wiping
out war. They have come to realize
that labor is the instrument that
moves the etire machine of govern
ment and business, and when labor
is burdened to the breaking point
their revenues, comforts and luxuries
must necessarily be curtailed. Any
wise man knows that by overlooking
and overworking his horse or his mule
the animal will soon break down and
become non-productive and that he
himself is the loser in the long run.
And so the rulers are coming to see
the situation Of labor in the same
light and at present it is quite promis-
ing that the disarmament conference
viii result in some real good II not
from humane motives, at least from
the standpoint Of self preservation

 Italy Wants No New Ships
 The American and Japanese view points in this regard were presented as one with the British. with all three powers deeply desirous of carrying out the projected naval reduction. It was reiterated officially for Italy that she was anxious to stop naval build ing immediately and wished only for a naval parity with France. A sum mary of these official utterances ap- peared to leave France alone of the five powers asking for naval incerss- es at the Washington conference.
 It was pointed out in some quarters that the first setback to the Washing ton conference called specifically for the purpose of reducing and limiting armaments had come with Premier Briand's assertion of the French view as to land forces and her reason for maintaining and planning to continue to maintain the greatest army in the world. All talk of an agreement here on limitation of land forces stopped with M. Briand's statement.
 In his reply to Hughes original nav al proposals, however, NJ. Briand was understood by members of the other delegations to have concurred in the four principles underlying the Amer ican plan. Apparently the French group has not regarded NJ. Briand's statement to the conference as com hitting France to the Aemcrain pro- posals, even in principle.
