GOOD NAY FOLLOW.

The pellagra plague and fam
inc" warning issued by the United
States Health Service together
with the S. 0. S. sent out by Presi-
dent Harding are pronounced
false alarms by the health depart
ments of the various southern
states. The South is up in arms,
so to speak, and strongly denies
that she is starving to death. Sta
tistics from the health depart
ments of the cotton growing
states certainly do not warrant
the circulation of report declared
by the Georgia Senate as damn
ing"
An ounce of prevention is worth
a ton of cure and that warning
is timely and vigilance necessary
we no not doubt.
Pellagra is dreadful disease
and even though the report pic
lures conditions what they amt"
little harm will be done provided
closer guard on the spread of
the disease is the result Cartha-
genian.
While it is true that the pellag-
ra situation is by no means as bad
as the President painted it, yet
good may follow what he said
about it, and the Carthagenian
truly says that little harm will
be done provided closer guard on
the spread of the disease is the re-
suit. Canton Herald.

AFTER LAWBREAKERS.

The people of Oxford and Laf-
ayette county recently had a
largely attended mass meeting
and adopted strong resolutions
pledging themselves to help en-
force the laws of the state, at the
same time demanding of the coun-
ty officials that they do their duty
in seeing that the offenders are
brought to justice. The special
violations mentioned which need
ed immediate attention, according
to the published report of the
gathering were as follows:
Laws prohibiting the manufac-
ure and sale of spurious and vino
us liquors:
Laws prohibiting lewdness and
unlayful combinations:
Laws prohibiting vagrancy and
malicious mischief:
Laws regulating the ownship,
control and operation of motor
,vehicleles.
AS the Reveille has stated on
several occasions lately there is a
growing demand for the more rig
i'd enforcement of laws of all
kinds, and the public is beginning
to demand that crimes of all kinds
cease.
The last term of court in Clai-
borne county will habe a good eff
feet locally in that respect, but we
have not gone far enough. The
Sunday law, anti-gambling law
and anti-liquor law are being VIC
lated more or less, and examples
will have to be made of violators
of these laws before the practice
ceases. There is always an ele-
ment which endeavors to see just
how far it can go before being
brought to justice. This seems to
assume that it will be immune
from punishment, but this is not
true when the sentiments of the
community demands enforcement

You will find honesty among
thieves, truth among fools, but
you will find few sparks of man
hood, womanhood or principle in
a knocker. A thief might have a
kind heart; fool might be
faithful friend; but a man who
knocks every proposition that
comes along simply because he
doesn't want his neighbors to
make progress-that man isn't
worth the hole in the doughnut in
any sort of human relationship.

FUNSTON is CLEANED UP
About All the Old Camp Now Liqui
dated

Liquidation of Camp Funston
with the exception Of one quarter Of
the wartime cantonment which the
government retains, was completed
Saturday, and a corps of experts set
to work to check over the returns.
1t was estimated the proceeds Of
the auction sale would reach half a
million dollars.
Lump bids for the building and
equipment offered prior to the sale
ranged from 100000 to $4,000.
These were rejected in the belief
that sale of each individual unit
would bring around 100000. The
total, however, exceeds more than
twice that sum. More than 200 in
dividuals and firms were purchasers.
Many of the buildings disposed OF
at the sale are changing hands. One
junction City man cleared $4,000 by
reselling a block of barracks pur-
chased by him three days ago.
Several offices have been opened
in the camp by buyers who are Of
fering buildings or lumber for sale
They are doing brisk business.

PLAN GORGEOUS PAGEANT
Chapman to Celebrate 33rd Anniver.
sary of D. c. III. S.

The plans for the pageant to be
presented in the evening Of Labor
Day at Chapman are assuming such
large proportions that it promises to
be one of the most gorgeous affairs
that has ever been held in this part
Of the state. The gigantic specta-
Gle will be staged on huge stage in
the street between the high school
and the Lutheran church. Over 200
people are in the cast and will ap-
pear on the stage at one time.
The stage will be 100 feet across
the front and sixty feet deep. Over
800 yards Of special scenery are be-
ing made for the event while outside
costumers are being called upon to
help the local people in the design
ing and Quitting Of the partici-
pants. The stage opening will be to
the north into an auditorium seating
5000 people.
The town is full Of groups re-
hearsing for the affair, as practically
every young person in Chapman has
been drafted to take some part in 1t.
The decorating committee is making
$4,000 roses for the decoration
scheme, which will be in pink and
green, the colors of Dickinson coun-
ty high school, the thirty third an
niversary Of which is being cele-
brated.

PARENTS SHOULD VISIT THEM
Schools Need Their Co-OperatioI
Officials Agree

"Unless the parents and the
teacher and the school board all
stand together we can't get along
| nOur schools"
That was the statement of q
member of the board from one OF
the school districts in this county,
in discussing discipline with the coun-
ty superintendent.
Another board member from q
different district added that nine
tenths of the parents don't go neal
the school room to see what kind OF
teachers the district has or how
their children are getting along. Co
operation means efficiency in the
school as well as in any other field
he pointed out. "a
In the districts in which the par
ents visit the schools and take an
active interest in them the work
is markedly superior to that II
other districts, according to Miss
Mary Il. Woolverton, county super
intendent.
In district "a and in some Others
in the county, every mother makes
an effort to visit the school at least
once before the end of the frs
month. Sometimes the mothers &C
in their aprons or house dresses but
they get there and the result is finel
spirit and better work in the schoo
room and a larger cooperation In
the work that is required Of the stu
dents at home.

NEED LONGER PHONE POLES
Hardly Enough Room For All the
Road Markers

Out in western Kansas, and par
ticularly in the neighborhood Of
Colby, where the United Telephone
company's toll lines are set on short
length poles, owing to the heavy
winds, 1t is going to be necessary
to put in longer poles in order to
accommodate the good roads boost
ers. If another highway Is marked
through this territory this will have
to be done. Now four highway
markers adorn the telephone poles,
making the poles resemble the totem
poles of Alaska with their variegated
colorings and designs. The highways
"blazed" on the poles are as follows
The Rock Island highway, the Kan
sas White Way, the Midland Trail
and the Golden Belt. 1t Is inferred
that the Union Pacific highway
branched south at Oakley because OF
teh lack of room for a marker the
telephone poles between Oakley and
Colby.

SUIT OVER TUITION
SaIina VIII Seek Money From Coun-
" For Country Students

A friendly lawsuit between the
city of Salina and the county Of Sa-
line, talked OF for some time in
school circles, becomes. more and
more apparent and will probably be-
come a reality some time this fall.
The lawsuit will be instigated to de-
termine how many students Of the
city schools the county must pay
tuition for to the city.
For some time the discussion on
this question has been in progress,
and the county superintendent, Miss
b. X. Crittenden, admits that her
opinion as to the Interpretation Of
the law does not agree with that Of
city school authorities. For that
reason It is probable that friend
" lawsuit will be instigated in order
to determine the matter In court and
save any further discussion.
The law, prepared by the last
legislature, is not clear. 1t attempts
to say that students from outside the
city shall have their tuition paid for
by the county. This tuition s paid
by the county commissioners. But
the trouble lies In the fact that the
law does not make it plain which
students are exempt from this tut
ton charge and therefore leaves
doubt as to the amount which the
city of Salina will receive from the
county in tuition money each
month.
It is to determine that point that
the lawsuit will be waged.
No tuition is charged against the,
individual students themselves, the
county paying for those who are
finally decided to come within the
scope of the law.
The suit IL instituted will be
watched with interest by nearly
every city in the state as they are
all affected. This problem Is up to
the board of education in Abilene
who will watch with interest the
outcome of the suit in Saline county.

CHEAPER TO BUY EN- NOW
Heavy Penalty For Not Renewing
Auto License


Unfortunate is the Kansas auto
mobile owner who has neglected to
purchase license tag for the last
half of 1921. Instructions have
been sent by L. J. Pettijohn, secre-
tary Of state, to arrest all motorists
who are still displaying old tags.
Seven or eight state inspectors
will cooperate with the local author
tiles to see that the automobile
license law is enforced. The penal
ty for driving without a license is a
fine Of from $40 to $500 or from
thirty to ninety days in Jail.
Although the law requires auto
mobile owners to apply for their
tags on or before July IS, state off,
cials have been lenient In beginning
prosecutions because even with
clerical force Of sixty persons the
licenses could not be issued as fast
as the applications were received
here. The work has been brought to
date, though, and tags are now
issued within twenty four hours
from receipt Of application.
Since July the county treasur-
er's office here has issued 4,S15
licenses for cars and trucks, 80 deal
ers licenses and IL for motorcycles.
Last year the total number for the
county was 5,2S5 so there are sew
eral hundred automobile owners In
Dickinson who will find 1t cheaper
to buy a license from the county
treasurer now than from the police
Judge later.

spEEDED THROUGH SOLOMON?

members of the Salina chapter of

lene Friday night to swim. A cloud
lowered over the swimming pool
however, in the form Of three scoWl-
ing officials Of the city Of Solomon.
According to the officers, the
party of DeMolays drove through
Solomon at an unbelievable speed
because of the bumps), footing
their horns and announcing their
arrival with a general burst Of noise.
They were permitted to have their
swim and then were taken to Solo
mon where they put up cash bond
for their appearance in the morning.
The six drivers were arraigned be-
fore the police judge at Solomon and
fined 81 and costs which amounted
to $47.3O for the crowd.

REFUSE ANY ACTION
commissioners Leave Rate Adjust
ment to P. u. G.

The city commissioners met in
special session Thursday afternoon
and passed a resolution declining to
act on the compromise rate asked
by the Riverside Light, Power and
Gas company which would give
them an increase in the charge to
Abilene consumers, slightly less
than that they asked in their petit
ton to the Public Utilities Commits
sion. The commissioners passed a
resolution stating that they had not
adequate means at their disposal for
investigating the operating expenses
Of the company and that as long as
the matter had already been brought
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion where experts are available to
check the figures it should be left to
the judgment Of that body.
The resolution follows:
Resolved, That while the commits
sioners are DESTROYS of arriving at a
decision on the application Of the
Riverside Light, Power and Gas
Company for an increase OF rates
for current for light and power
which should be adjudged on basis
which will be fair to the company
and to its patrons; the commission
ers do not feel that they have OF
can get the necessary data on which
to base an equitable rate. And mas
much as said company has already
on file with the Public Utilities Com
mission its application for an IN.
crease of rates, it is the judgment OF
the commissioners that such appi-
cation should be decided by the
Public Utilities Commission.

BURNED INTO THE GROUND
Sample of the Effect of Current on
Earth n Union Electric Window

In the window of the office of the
Union Electric Company, on the
corner of Third and Cedar is a
jagged object, resembling Stag from

earth in which a $4,000 volt current
was grounded by the transformer
setting at Walnut grove during the
recent heavy storm. The ground
was carbonized and the three-fourth
inch gas pipe which was used as a
ground rod, connecting with the
transformer case was melted from
its original length Of feet to about
G inches.
