the generous Kansas response to the
Christmas seal appeal of the state tu-
berculosiS association. Hundreds of
Kansans who in the rush of the holi-
day season neglected to send their
money for he Yuletide stickers are
now sending remittances. Most of
these letters COZ ain an apology for
the delay and an Irnest wish for sue

White Plague in this state.
Human interest letters-messages
with real art throbs in every line
continue to come to the state associa-

business disappointments, financial
stringencies, slumps in grain markets
all receive mention, but fail to keep

year.

New York Has Headache.
New York. Jan. 1.-Old Pa Knick-
erbocker had ice packs on a fevered
brow today. Despite prohibition, the
Volstead act, ETC., New York was
about as dry on New Years Eve as
Broadway, in the ''roarin' forties"
was the usual scene of the New Years
carnival. The same spirit was as
plentiful as in the old days. So plen-
tiful in fact, that one man died of al
coholiSm and another was rushed to
the hospital dying from the same
cause.
Those who knew walters in the
most of the white way" hotels and
cabarets had no trouble in getting
ginger ale with a kick while the less
fortunates had to rely upon their hips
for sustenance.
All Cabarets damned.
The cops were too busy watching
the throngs on the streets to hunt
"hooch" and the prohibition agents
made Broadway tout of bounds and
confined their sleuthing to Third ave-
nue.. the Bowery, and resorts on the
East side.
Welcoming the New Year, vast
quantities of real beer' came in as
nutriment for those celebrators with a
fear of the "blind staggers'' and the
accompanying ills of wood alcohol.
All of the cabarets and hotels were
damned with joyous parties that had
made reservations before Thanksgiv-
ing, the managers said.

late. He had been noticeably worse
after visits of any length.
Earlier in the day yesterday the
cardinal gave a New Years message
to his host of friends in Baltimore
Washington and thruout the country,
expressing regret that he would not
be able this year to greet his Balti-
more and Washington friends in per-
son on the first two Sundays of the
new year, as has been his custom for
more than a generation. He asked
their continued prayers and gave them
his blessing and best wishes.
Up to o'clock this morning no
word concerning the cardinal had
been received at the archiepiscopal
residence or by his physician here
since about 8 O'Clock last night, when
it was stated that he was slightly
better.
The doctor said the cardinal is suf-
fering, from muscular weakness which
involved the heart action. The doctor
added that he would bring his patient
home next week unless his health
positively forbids.

IT WILL Be WAR OF WORDS
Salina Legion Battle Against N. p. L.
Confined to Argument.


Salina, Kan, Jan. 1.-The Saline
county Nonpartisan committee and
the Saline. County Central Labor
union, invited A. C. Townley, presI-
dent of the Nonpartisan league, to
come into the county with his force
of workers and push drive for mem
bership.
The Ulcers of the two bodies are
now out to defend Townley and his
men. They have the cooperation of
Sheriff Ernest Swarso who today
issued a statement The effect that
no violence would be tolerated in the
difference of the American Legion
toward the Nonpartisan league and in
legion efforts to force Townley to
cease his activities in Salina.
ToWnley and his men are using
twenty Ford sedans in their work in
the county. When Tow1ley came to
Salina he had a dozen men. but the
force has been increased daily
Townley today expressed surprise
that the American Legion post of Sa-
lima has expressed it's disapproval
of his work. He stated that many
of the world war veterans were mem
bers of the league. He expressed the
greatest respect for the legion.
I'm this particular I think the legion
acted on very poor advice and made
a sorry mistake" Townley said.
o. A. Kitterman, commander of the
legion in Salina, stated that it was the
intention of the legion to use argu-
ments of facts against Townley and
not force. He said in part:
ANY statements that the American
Legion contemplates or intends to
force the retirement of Townley and
his men from Saline county thru
physical or radical action are abso-
lutely false. We will break no laws
in our efforts to combat this evil.
