-BAND-MADE- -A-HIT
The Butler Boys Added to Their
Laurels at the Big Rotary Con-
vention in Wichita. j.,

From all accounts the Butler COM
cert band and the saxophone band
under the leadership OF Chas. L.
Fisk were the big distinct hits at the
Rotary convention at Wichita, Kan
sas, Thursday and Friday of last
week.
They left Butler Wednesday and
arrived at Ft.. Scott that evening,
where they were entertained at ban
tuct that evening, before continuing
their journey to Wichita, where they
arrived early the next morning and
gave their first concert in the lobby
of the hotel. From then on it was
one continuous ovation for the boys.
That evening they played at the Ro-
tartan banquet at which more. than
5000 visitors were served. In prep
aration for the trip Director Fisk had
procured several of the latest New
York hits so that many of their Sc
lections had never been heard by the
Wichita folks before. and they
showed that they liked them by their
repeated encores. Herbert WeMott,
the vocal soloist, who went with
them was the recipient of many COM
rliments on his singing.
Before returning home Director
Fisk was extended an invitation,
which he accepted, to attend the next
Rotary convention to be held next
year at Muskogee, Oklahoma.
The band was part of the Clinton
Rotary Club delegation on this oc-
casion as they were last year at the
Joplin convention.

Lieutenant Colonel of the 9th Mis-
souri, Volunteers, being the youngest
Lieutenant Colonel in the army. Ilis
regiment went to Cuba and served as
part OF the American Army of occu
patton. After the Spanish-.Americah
War he was appointed Brigadier
General and reorganized the Missor+i
National Guard, which he has since
commanded. He wrote the Military
Code oil the state, and when the De-
tense Act was under consideration IL
Congress i'll 1916, General Clark
wrote the brief maintaining the right
to fcderalize the National Guard
which the Military Committee of tile
National House OF Representatives
adopted and printed in their repc:t,
recommending the act as finally
passed. He commanded the Missouri
troops on the Mexican Border in
1916, patrolling las miles of the
Laredo District, which was regarded
as the most troublesome on the Bor-
der. When the Missouri National
Guard was called into federal servire
in the. war with Germany, General
Clark was commissioned Brigadier
General by the President and &C.
companied his command to Camp
Doniphan. In December, 1917, witt,

erals, he was ordered before a board
of regular army surgeons for physi-
cal examination to determine his ply
sical qualifications for overseas ser
vice. The board reported that as a
result of an old case of pleursy some
eight years before his lungs were at
fected and that his blood pressure was
too high. He was given the option
Of going to the army tubercular hos
pital at Deming. New Mexico, or re-
signing. He declined to do either
and was accordingly on December 20,
1917, honorably discharged. The Gov
ernor at once asked him to take
charge of the Adjutant Generals Of
flee and the war activities of the state.
and this he did, going direct to Jci-
ferson City from Camp Doniphan.
From that date he gave his whole
time to organizing and directing all
military activities conpected with the
winning of the war, in doing every
thing possible for the troops in the
field and their relatives at home, aid

fession and was regarded as among
the foremost in his profession in the
state. He was admitted to the bar

AN END OF THE KLUX

time to contemplate the record. purposes

articles presented in this newspaper KIux-
ism will probably be without a dupe or
defender or an apologist in the United

The American people as whole are fair
minded They have an ;lborn hatred of

in the nature of the general reaction that
followed the exposure Of the inner affairs
Of Wizard simmons crowd

spiration from Protestant denominations,
summarized the case in rational. honorable

a movement that is un- American and un-
Christian at bottom and devised to disturb
profoundly the peace of the Nation in order
that limited group of exploiters may live
in luxury.
Now and then letters written in defense

that the writer's have been without means

not only by our own Investigations. but by
the work of Masonic committees and the

Meanwhile, A. F. Slater, speaking for
the state enforcement organization in Penn
eylvania. announces that he and his men
have been fabbergasted by the most recent
order from Washington, in which all home
brow and home brewers ar" once more for
malIy outlawPd. Only a short time ago a
semi official edict from the Federal prohibi-
tion headquarters made it appour that every
citizen had a right to make 200 gallons of
vine without any fear of violating the law.
The conflict of orders and purposes at
prohibition enforcement headquarters in
Washington continues because the chiefs Of
the bureau do not know what is expected of
them, They will not know until the Senate
by acting in one way or another on the
Anti Beer Bill permits the enforcement off
cals to behave like reasonable men.

On Farm Life

wTNLEss farm life is made more hy
" gienic. more attractive, there is no
hope for the United States" according to
DIR. J. NJ. Badly. the Commissioner Of the
new Public Welfare Department of the State.
II am not pessrnistic about the future"
he said, because these very things arc now
being done for farm life. and that is one of
the greatest functions of q State welfare
department.
at must be remembered that the brains of
the city come from the small country towns.
These men are vigorous have no social OBJ
legations and they plunge in and make their
mark. incidentally, they burn themselves
out.
THAT is the interesting feature of it
they burn themselves out. They seldom leave
any one of their own family to succeed them,
and rarely If ever one of the third genera
ton. There was no one to succeed John 6.
johnson. or Gross and Agncw in the medi-
cal profession. These men rarely if ever
leave successor of their own family.
Town Replenishment
"Thcsc men come to the city from the
country towns. and the country towns in
turn are replenished from the farms and
from the workshop. The farm and work
shop are the sources Of the brains of the
country at large.
'ln n small town. for instance, the leaders
Of the community establish themselves In
business, but there is not enough for the
head of the family and more than one son
or daughter. The others must strike out for
themselves. and the ambitious ones always
do so. They go to the big city.
Their places in the small town arc taken
by the farmer boy or the country mechanic.
Then the man who comes to the big city,
as ! have said. literally burns himself out
as he achieves success. This is all right
it is evolution. it is natural
'Now. If the people on the farm are not
in hygienic surroundings in cheerful, happy
homes, there is no hone for the United
States. Give the farmer healthy. happy sur
roundingS and he has an incentive to stay or
the farm. II YOU do not. it will mean de-
generary for the entire race.
''lt happened. you know. in Rome and in
Assyria and other ancient monarchps that
were agricultural nations. They became
corrupt from top to bottom and they fell.
If the top only is corrupt the nation can
exist. but If the bottom becomes corrupt
also that nation falls.

place to live on. State and national welfare
agencies are 90 operating In doing it, This

WASHINGTON, THE BAROMETER

THE general approval in the Assembly OF

American interest in disarmament and en-
barrassed by the absence Of the United

Tangible results Of the parIcv in Wash

this confusion. Even with this Government
outside the League, its participation in a
definite arms reduction program would in
evitably lend the most decided impetus TO

LIGHT FROM SENATOR WATSON

COUND economies need not necessarily be
- unintclIigible to the layman. This fact
is suggestively illustrated by Senator Wat
son, of Indiana, in his reflections upon the
sales tax
Take care of production" he urges
and consumption will tako care OF itself.
That Is fundamental"
1t is, indeed. Congressional reluctance to
face the sales tax question frankly Is puz.
zltng when considered in connection with
the enormous and basic burdens Of the
present system.
The tides will be harncssed and perpetual
motion discovered before the invention of a
tax universally popular. But that there are
degrees Of hardship in varying plans of gov.
ernmental levies is indsputable.
when you place burden upon produc-
ton, as our present system Of taxation
does" maintains the converted Mr.. Wat
son, you automatically decrease consump-
ton
The lucidity of such reasoning Is likely to
grow more and more convincing as Congress
becomes enmeshed in its efforts to shirk real
taxation reform on sane and comprchen-
sve scale.
