DELTA FOOTBALL TEAM
GRABS LAST GAME OF SEASON

By far the best game of the season
was played ON the ball grounds
Thanksgiving day, when about 1890
people gathered to witness the closing
game of the year between Montrose
and Delta, and be 1t said to the credit
of the visitors that they played a
remarkably good game.
The teams were evenly matched
during the early part of the contest,
and advances made by both sides
were by punting. The visitors dis
played much skill in interference, as
did the local team.
At about ten minutes before the
close of the game Delta got the pig
skin and by persistent work on the
part of the half. quarter and full
backs, made substantial gains every
down. So strong was their defense
and SO rapid the action that the visi-
tors were unable to hold them, and
Killian went over by line smash
that brought the grandstand to its
feet and brought out howls of glee
from all the home fans.
Killian then achieved a goal kick,
registering seven points for Delta, the
only scores made.
Delta has come back" and let US
hope the boys will get OF next year
on the right foot and clean up every
thing in sight. While a retrospect
shows. only two games to Delta's
credit out of eight this season, there
is some satisfaction to be gained from
the fact that the three against Gunn-
sons 1886 was made by the Delta
team.

# FRENCH STAND PAT
BRITAIN. TO WITHDRAW
Lloyd George'lSsues UItimatum In The
Dispute Over Question Of
German Indemnity
THE COUNCIL IS IN A DEADLOCK
(By International News Service,

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-Premier Lloyd
George today issued an ultimatium
10 the French representative sitting
in the inter-allied conference that
unless they change their views on the
German indemnity question before
tomorrow he will withdraw from the
conference.
Y This was learned from dispatches
received here today. According to the
information hopeless deadlock con-
fronts the conference on the repara-
tion question. France has steadily
maintained her original position, but
the other powers are unwilling to
accede to her demands, and at this
time it seems as if the indemnity ques-
ton would be carried over to some
future conference.

TELL GERMANY TO co TO

The news dispatches today bring
the information that the German for
eign office is investigating the at
tempt of two Denver men to kidnap
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the dirty
contemplate sneaking cur. who
boasts that he got two army officers
drunk and sccaped.
Bergdoll, because of his millions,
was successful in evading the draft
was prosecuted and later made his
escape He is now in Germany with
his kind.
Let Germany investigate. OF what
benefit will it be is hard to tell. If
Germany wants to get funny the
same bunch which tanned her before
can do it again and they will have
all the help they need.
1t is presumption of the rankest
sort for the beastly whelps to even
hint at an Investigation of Ameri-
can citizens, and the American gov
ernment, if the case is ever brought
to the attention of the officials,
should treat any correspondcnce
with silent contempt.
Bergdoll and the kaiser are fit COM
panions. Neither are worthy Of con-
sideration of civilized people, and
if the German war office wants to
raise a foolish question and get hell
licked out of them again it is their
privilege to start the ball rolling.

PAUL LIGHT BUYS THE
KISMET LUMBER YARD
Will Be Conducted Under Manage
ment of Joe Benson Who Has
With The Yard

The Paul w. Light Company has
purchased the business of the R. E.
Benson Lumber Company at Kismet
an the stock has been invoice and
turned over to the new owners.
Joe Benson, who has been with the
business under the management of
his brother will be retained by the
firm as manager.
The business was started by r. E.
Benson who died more than a year
ago. Since his death Joe has been in
charge and has been very successful.
That he is to remain in charge will
be pleasing news to the people OF
Kismet and vicinity.
Mr.. Light says the people served
by the Kismet yard can expect the
same service and prices as is given
by their Liberal yard. The stock will
go through the local yard, and as the
firm buys in large quantities for sew
eral yards is in position to give both
service and price equal to the best
anywhere.
The folks in and about Kismet
should consider themselves fortunate
in that the business has fallen into
such good hands. The name of Paul
W. Light has become known as stand
ing for good material and reasonable
price, and the firm is always a good
booster for their towns.

BANKERS TO BECOME MINERS

(By Democrats Topeka Corresponden)
TOPEKA, Jan. 28.-An old tank
car company in which Allen s. and
Rufus P, Newman confessed looters
Of the Peoples State bank at Coffey-
vile, were interested, was reported
here Wednesday as being one of the
heaviest losers in the big Southern
Kansas financial crash. Also other
oil concerns were said to stand to
suffer big losses,
| Details Of the looting Of the Cof-
feyville bank were still lacking We'd
{ nesday and the state banking depart
ment announced that nothing would
| be given out until Bank Commission
er Walter f. Wilson returned We'd
ncsday aftenon. A. L. Johnson, dep
/ stated the Peoples State bank was
not under the protection of the state
guaranty fund and that there was
no way this fund would suffer. He
said the bank never had been under
the guaranty fund
It is the general belief here that
the losses viii be among the largest
recorded in recent years when the
examiners make their final report Of
the bank The last statement made
to the state banking department, De-
cember % showed that the bank had
deposits totalling $G5O,OOO. A short
time ago the banks capital was in
creased from $25, 900 to $4,000 but
all of the new stock had been sold
at the time the bank was closed.
Reports received here from War
den Codding of the State Penitenti-
ary to which Allen s. and Rufus P.
Newman have been sent to serve sem
tences of from to 30 years, stated
that both would be put to work in the
prison coal mines as soon as they be-
came "dressed" in "and had chance
to become acquainted with prison
life"
There has been some criticism OF
bank looters getting easy berths in
prison but Warden Codding has taken
the opportunity to give assurance
that the Newmas will have no easy
time of it while they are kept in
prison.
It is said here Wednesday that
Allen Newman in addition to having
been formerly connected with the
Emporia Commercial club and at one
time secretary of the Emporia State
Normal school of which he was a
graduate. The Peoples State bank
which the Newman brothers are said
to have completely wrecked, was or
ganized in 1906 by ]. NJ. Woodward
of Hoyt, Kansas. Later the bank
passed into the hands of man by
the name of Murphy of Iowa and con-
troll passed into the hands of the New
mn family in 1918, when Walter A.
Newman now dead, bought a big
block of its stock.
During recent years the Peoples
State bank was widely advertised as
'the home of savings" and a large
number of working people will lose
most of their savings through the
crash, it is said.
