RESTS ON OARS
Farmers Must Await Future De-

Master of Kansas Grange De-
cries Big Public Debts.
WARNS AGAINST ROAD BONDS
Cannot Make Proper Levies to
Keep Dirt Highways.
Fiftieth Annual State COnven-
ton in Session.

| Chanute, kan, Dec. 13.-Economic
and industrial developments of the last
| year hold little comfort for the farmer,
Harton Needham, of Lane, Kan, mas
ter of the Kansas Grange. declared to-
day in addressing the fiftieth annual
meeting of the grange here. THE
farmer" said Needham, "is resting on
his oars awaiting development; while
stunned and uncertain, he is not crush
| ed or destroyed"
There are strong social and moral
reas sons why a back-to-the-farm move
ment should command the active sup
port of public-spirited people; but
there is no economic or industrial de-
mand for any such movement at this
time, nor has there been in the years
past. Whenever society is willing to
pay for its food, its cotton and its wool
a price that will make farming as
profitable as other occupations involv-
ing the same amount of investment,
| business ability and hard work, the
movement from the farm to the city
will cease" Mr.. Needham decried
what he styled the 'unbusinesslike
reckless rage to mortgage the future
by mourning municipal, county and
state Indebtedness.
I'VE cannot go on building roads
with long time bonds" he said. while
we dare not levy enough property to
! grade, drag or oil our dirt roads,
Denouncing what he termed the in
| culcation of the spirit of militarism
into our young men by the persistent
extension of military training in our
| high schools and colleges, even to the
| extent of making it compulsory in
many of our land grant colleges, the
speaker said this tendency was a far
greater menace to our civilization
than all the men of war that float the
| briny deep"
He said farmers had no faith in the
injection of "city methods" into the
Management of rural schools. The
| speaker added that there has been a
fair increase in the number of local
| livestock shipping associations estab-
| lished thru the influence of the
! grange last year.

CORONER's UEsTPosTPONED
Witnesses Unable To Be Present Be
cause of Gunshot Wounds.

The fact that many witnesses were
unable to be present because of gun
shot wounds sustained in shooting at
the home of Joe Jennings, $40 North
Tyler street, last Sunday morning,
made It necessary for DR.. H. L. Clark,
county coroner. to again postpone the
inquest into the death of Mrs. Jane
Simms Williams, 2215 Union avenue
Monday.
The coroner's jury, sworn in last
Monday, was allowed to go to their

that several witnesses are not yet able
to be about and the inquest was set
ahead TO next Wednesday morning at
9 O'Clock.

most important witnesses. is suffering

What 1t Means To You To
Buy the 'tChristnlas Seals :"
BY DR.. ROYAL S. COPELAND
Commissioner of Health, New York City.
Copyright, 1921, by Newspaper Feature serviee)

We live in a world which views
things, not locally, or even s-tiopalIy,
but Internationally. We cannot live to
ourselves alone, but must think of all
mankind.
In this connection I want to tell
you a sad story:
There are sections of Italy, in the
mountains, where, few years ago,
tubercul osis was never known. From
these regions venturesome young
people have emigrated to the United
States. Prospecting here many have
returned to their native homes and
some have carried tuberculosis into
those sections. The dread disease, ac-
quired in the United States, is now
wrapping its deadly mantle over those
far-off and innocent communities
The war against tuberculosis must
bes a far-f1ung battle line. Every
country, every state, every county,
every township and hamlet should join
in the movement.
For your own sake, for the sake of
your children, for the sake of genera
tions yet unborn, this fight against
tuberculosis should never stop. Tuber-
culosis can be wiped out, but it will
never be successfully accomplished till
the last case is found and the last bit
of seed is destroyed
The Christmas seal campaigns have
raised large sums of money. These
have been so we'll spent that every
community where the plan has oper-
ated, is enthusiastically backing the
sale of Christmas seals.
This is not drive for charity. It is
a drive to save you and yours.
At present every seventh funeral is
the funeral of a consumptive. Let US
make this dreadful thing impossible.
Let US wipe out tuberculosis and free
the world from the White plague.
We can defeat this form of death if
money is given to carry on the battle
buy Christmas seals today.

TOPEKANS DIDN'T BOTHER
perfect Package month"; Resulted in
S17 Failures Here.


Topekans consigned for shipment to
the freight or express carriers during
November a total of SIT packages
which for one reason or another did
not conform to the standards of pack
ing, marking or billing, according to
the report of C. w Moncfrieff, of the
Western Weighing and Inspection bu-
reau. The report was made at the end
of the Perfect Package Month" cam
paign, with reference to Topeka alone.
In making up his summaries
Moncfrieff found that among the
packages originating at Topeka there
were TT errors in bills of lading or
express receipts; 405 cases of bad
marking; 235 cases of poor packing.
This appears to be considerable .
says Moncfrieff's report to the Topeka
Traffic association, which has been
acting as a clearing house for the re-
ports. But we find the percentage
looks very good when the number of
1adings issued is figured. We had
55,277 ladings and receipts offered for
the month. In even figures this would
make about .O015 per cent imperfect
from one cause or another"
The efforts of the representatives of
of the Weighing and Inspection bu-
reau, will not be relaxed because the
specific month set aside for the edu-
cation of the general public has passed,
Moncfrieff says.
This bureau will continue in the
future as in the past to police all
freight and express shipping rooms, on
in Al condition, and we will continue
to call on shippers and transportation
companies in the interest of better
marking and packing"

BUILD MORE SHIPS, SAYS WISE
Bishop Condemns SeIf-NIade Man in
Address to Washburn Students.

Battleships which the United States
is going to scrap must be replaced by
other ships, Bishop James Wise de-
clared in talk to Washburn students
in MacNicar chapel Monday
He urged the students to be build
ers OF ships themselves and lend their
energies to constructing fellowship.
citizenship, stewardship, member
ship and craftsmanship. He explained
the latter by saying the students must
sell themselves to their country and
that since the good salesman must
have faith in his goods, the students
must have faith in themselves.
Bishop Wise declared there IS no
such thing as a self made man. and
that men who are really successes in
the world have derived their abilities
and powers from God.

Pointing out that the workers of
America were in competition with the
workers of the world, Davis said the
slogan of American industry should be
ito increase the quantity and improve
the quality, better work and more
of it."
Il have always said and say again,
the secretary declared, that 1 am
against the living wage. It is not
enough. That is why l am against it.
A mere living wage is beggardly al
lowance from a public as rich as ours
to a worker as skilled and thrifty as
our American wage Garner
The employer who begrudges de-
cent pay" Davis said, sis in the class
with the other restrictionists who de-
mand endless duplication OF effort,
endless classification of workers.
while human nature remains what
it is, the lion and lamb may never lie
down together in industry. But we
must never give up the struggle to
make them better natured about 1t.
We can have, we must have, more
can have, so little of open fighting
that it amouJts to nothing"
When the Jupreme reed for peace In

many boards of arbitration were

by displacing many loose boards
and much loose individual eff

This is the season for the national
Christmas SeaP' sale. the annual ap-
peal for funds to fight tuberculosis
You may say:
IT am not interested in tuberculosis.
I live in a clean house. All my fam
lily have good lungs"
1 don't care how Clearly are your
immediate surroundings, nor how
strong may be your body, you aren't
safe so long as there is an open case
of tuberculosis in your community.
Your household may be free from
tuberculosis but one of the maids
may come from a diseased home. The
clerk in the store. or the stenographer
in the office, or the teacher in the
school, or the worker in the sweat
shop, shaving at some article you may
buy some day, may have tuberculosis.
You cannot escape it's menace.
We have had a remarkably low
death rate from tuberculosis in this
country for the past two or three
years. But let us not be lulled to
sleep on this account. The disease is
raging in Europe and it will be re-
markabIe indeed if our country is not
reinfected from abroad.

so the next day I sent the doctors and

examine the pupils in the nearest

In one room they found eleven chill

There must be the mosc watchful
care, or our own children will take
the disease from the new arrivals, il
not from some native sufferer.
