FIND FUN IN HOBBIES
Aged Kansas Men Enjoy Vaca-
ton Period Of Life.
Retired Preacher Writes a Book, Artist
Collects Bugs and Farmer
Takes Up Sculpture.

Topeka.-The vacation period of life
years well along toward the heri-
zon-has brought pleasant occupations
to three aged Kansas men. Having
retired from active pursuits, each to-
day Is following the bent of his incli-
nations and declares he is enjoying his
pastime immensely-One writing and
printing book, another collecting in
sects, and the third as sculptor of
stone.
DR.. A. n. See, eighty, retired Meth
odist preacher, who, with his wife,
lives in the Methodist Home for the
Aged in Topeka, has just completed II
history of the northwest Kansas con-
ference. He not only gathered the his
torical data and wrote the manuscript
for a 2O0-page book, but also printed
the pages on little hand press, and
bound the volumes. Doctor See was n
pi0ueer circuit rider in the big north
west Kansas conference, and later for
many years was superintendent of the
district.
Karl Stecher, twenty, of Wichita,
artist and educator, chose to pursue
what he claims always has been his
hObby-cOllecting insects. An extern
sive collection, gathered and mounted
by Mr.. Stecher, recently was displayed
in the show window Of Wichita bank.
1t includes specimens obtained by him
on his travels through six countries
Switzerland, France, Italy, Turkey,
Canada and the United States.
Mr. SteChcr was born in Obcrkirch,
Germany, and came to America 4S
years ago.
Having made Il comfortable fortune
farming since he came to this country
with his father, 30 years ago from his
native Belgium, Charles DeLeye OF
Emmett devOtes much of his time to
sculpturing and making unique stone
decorations for his house and lawn.
Some of these works, which include
large stone gate arch, decorative
wall, a huge basin surmOunting stone
base ten feet in diameter, are of mo-
sale design of varicOlored stones set in
concrete and decorated with the sculp-
tors chisel. The decorative wall is 127
feet long and inlaid with more than
two hundred kinds of rocks.

TENACITY WINS OUT
Regenerating Efforts Of Peas
ants Restore Flanders Fields.
BeIgians, Working to Rebuild Homes
and Salvage Barren Lands, Aided
by Loans of Motors.

Brussels,--"No Mans Land" again
belongs to the brave Belgian peas
ants, an apparent miracle having been
wrought in Flanders fields by these
courageous people, who, with the help
of the Belgian government, have re-
gained the ground which once seemed
devastated beyond rehabilitation. Not
satisfied with the deaths of soldiers,
murders of women and children and
devastation of cities, the German i'll
vaderS sought to wipe out nature en-
tirely, but their efforts were in vain.
On the very places where, two years
ago, the armies were rushing to lib
crate Belgium, and where the sea wa
tiers, receding uncovered grinning skel-
etons of German soldiers, buried in the
mud of the User river banks, wheat
and barley, corn and potatoes, flowers
and young apple trees are now flour
iShing.
For two years the Belgian peasants
lived in hutS, the ruins of their homes,
or in German concrete shelters, suffer-
ing untold hardships in winter, but i'm
bued with the spirit of regeneration
They worked to remove the barbed
wire and uneXploded shells, and many
of them lost their lives when the pillow
met some buried shell. But persever-
anCe won. From $4,000 souls in 1911
the population dWindled to nothing in
1918, and back to $4,000 in 1919. There
is now a population of $4,000.
The ministry of agriculture, under
the management of Baron RuZette and
his staff of specialists, with NJ. BOer.
enboom at their head, organized the
relief work. Motor tractors were
loaned by the government. The fields
soaked with sea salt. We're revived
with chalk and chemicals, and Elan
dcrs awakened from her deadly sleep
and is again bright with vegetation.
The farms are bigger than ever before,
and the concrete shelters which, two
years ago, heard the German officers
yelling to the unfortunate soldiers,
"Schweinhunde," now hear the grunt-
ing of little pigs. for the thrifty Elem
ish peasants have turned to account all
of the salvaged implements of warfare
which could be used.
Here and there are sacred spots,
bright with bloody peoples, marking
the final resting places of the brave
Belgian, French, British and American
