He FLAYS MINISTERS
J. r. BurroF. JF-. Docs Not Mince
Words Before Ministerial Union.

J. r. Burrow, Jr.. widely known
Topeka banker and civic worker.
flayed the pulpit in a speech before
the Topeka Ministerial union at the
Y II. c. A. this morning when he told
the preachers then word was no bet
ter than the word of the average per-
son of the age who paid no heed to the
spoken promise except in financial
dealings.
He directed many criticisms at the
assembled ministers who sat aghast
and listened to the opinions of a bust
ness man concerning 4he personnel OF
the pulpit
Mr.. Burrow pointed out that the
Arbuckle censorship was a type OF the
wave of moral condemnation that
sweeps the country at a cost of many
millions to private concerns and prop
erty.
In analyzing local conditions Mr..
Burrow said the preachers of Topeka
by concentrated effort could bring in
fluence to bear that would improve
the police department thru better paid
patrolmen and a. more efficient force.

BEWARE IDES OF MARCH
However. 1t Was the Sixth of
March That Worried Victor Cruz,
Mathematical Early Morning
Birthday Party.


Beware the Ides of March. was the
warning given Julius Caesar before
his assassination by the conspirators-
But it was the sixth of March that
worried Victor Cruz. Mexican This
being NVic's birthday, he followed the
custom of nearly lifetime by hold
ing an early morning dance at his
home, 123 Branner street. Being
prominent Mexican, who had lived in
Topeka many years. his friends arose
at an early hour, if they went to bed
at all Sunday night. and repaired to
his house, where the festivities began.
According to information obtained
by Jacob Barrientos. Mexican police
officer, the dancing was in full swing
about 3 O'Clock this morning when
Tiburcio Ribera, 221 North Chandler
street. and Thomas A1onzo, Second
and Klein streets, imbibed too much
corn whisky and began to look for
trouble. Ribera is said to have ex-
pressed a desire for blood.
The two men, according to Bar

where Cruz begged them to get out.
They complied, it was said, but insist
ed that they wanted to hold q private
conversation outside with Ventura
Llmas. Limas went out by the east
door, according to Barrientos. AS he
passed thru the door. it was declared,
AIonzo struck him with q large butch
er knife, infl.cting severe wounds. He
was rushed to St. Francis hospital
Ribera and Alonzo were taken to the
city Jail, where they were being held
this afternoon.
Alonzo asserted after his arrest that
he had noticed the Mexicans fighting
and went over to separate them. They
had then attacked him. he asserted.
Several shots were fired thru the win
dows of the Cruz home, according TO
Barrientos. Llmas will probably re-
cover. it was said.
Thus was the morale of Victor's
birthday party severely shaken.

That's why Nature
preScribeS fruits

The reason Nature places fruits so lavishly
upon her bill of fare is because fruits are
healthful, and particularly healthful for the
teeth and gums.
Fruits contain wholesome, mild acids that
stimulate the natural saliva flow. When you
place an acidulous fruit like grapefruit in the
mouth, your salivary glands pour forth an
extra flow of alkaline saliva to overcome the
fruit acid. This extra alkaline saliva, when
your ''mouth waters, continues to battle the
teeth long after the fruit has been eaten. Thus
it is present to overcome the acids of fernen-
tation that form from the starchy and sugary
foods you eat.

Modern diet
is largely to blame

Alkaline dentifrices didn't do all the damage.
The changing diets of modern- civilization had
a great deal to do with it.
Much of the food we eat today is rich in
starch and sugar. Such foods adhere to the
teeth, ferment and cause tooth decay.

. Scientific investigations
disclosed the mistake

1t was natural to use alkalies in dentifrices,
with the thought that they would counteract
the acids of fermentation. But it is now known
that the best way to accomplish this is with
mild fruit acids that stimulate an s'overtime"
flow of alkaline saliva in the mouth.
The secret was found by Investigators who
observed that in countries where fruits form a
large part of the daily diet, and where soft,
starchy foods are absent, tooth decay is seldom
encountered.

DEVELOPING HARDY BREED
FOR DAIRYING IN ALASKA

In some of the valleys of Alaska
where grain and forage crops do well
dairying seems to be desirable, and
many farmers have taken it up on a
small scale. The United States De.
partment of Agriculture is trying to
develop a hardy breed of cattle for
that climate by crossing the Gallo
way and Holstein-Friesian, but in
the meantime Milking Shorthorns
have been introduced at two of the
department stations, as they are con,
sidered fairly hardy and in addition
to being good milk producers are
good beef animals, a combination of
qualities desired in this rigorous re.
gion. The animals brought in were
secured in Iowa and Minnesota.

THE GOVERNMENT A
DANGEROUS BUZZ SAW

Perhaps the strongest bulwark of
the political boss is the almost uni
versal belief that principles are
greater than men. Scarcely village,
town, county or state that has not
slipped over undesirable candidates
as against decent men because of
this conviction, so frequently in fact
that it is time we turned the micro
scope~on this very vital assumption.
orals are largely geographical and al
ways subject to the times. The the
ory of right today may be wrong to-
morrow. In the early days principles
in government may have been more
vital than men. Indeed this may be
true today, but L is certain that to-
day the character of tae men we
choose to serve us is more vital
than ever before in history, for in
matters of government we are COM
PEELED to put blind faith in the men
we choose to serve us. Government
has become so highly technical, Sc
amazingly complex that it is quite
beyond the understanding of the av-
erage individual. The subtleties of
civic fiance, the intricacies of export
trade, the complexities of transporta-
tion problems by, land and sea, the
technique of tariff, the bewildering,
contradictory elements entering into
scientific taxation, not to speak Of
the dazing problems of foreign rela-
tions, have removed government so
far from the ken of the average citi-
zen that he has lost all touch with it;
he feels 1t is something with which
he has grave concedn, but in which
he dares not TO express an opinion.
His happiness, his welfare, depend
on the skill with which these tech
ical problems are confronted, yet
they can be man-handled to his com
plete undoing without his even sens
ing the folly of his representative.
Summed up, government has gone
completely from the hands of the
people; ii seems to have outgrown
the people. The people have not
kept up with the procession. The
press has been insufficient as an ed
ucatonial force, not for lack of de
sire, but because the press must ex-
list and the people demand as the
price OF support the publication OF
trivialities. The great city newspa-
pers have come to be a mixture OF

PERSONS INTERESTED M BIRD
BANDING SHOULD GET PERMITS

Federal permits are necessary in
all cases for bird banding work, says
the biological survey Of the United
States Department of Agriculture
The survey is anxious to have as
many collaborators as possible, but
success depends largely on complete
cooperation between officials and
collaborators.
State permits also are required in
many cases. Some states issue them
without charge to collaborators,
when notified by the biological sur
vey that the applicant has federal
permit. Others have taken the po-
sition that the federal permit is suf-
ficient authority. Each operator
should be informed as to the atti-
tude of his state game officials and
be prepared to cooperate with them
at all times.

which was effective on July

he had no alternative but to
put the decision into effect,
in view of the fact that de-
cisions of the Labor Board
carrying decreases had been
applied to other employees,
some of whom were on
strike because of that ac-
ton. The General Manager,
however, offered to consid-
er any individual adjust

qualifications, usefulness,
etc., of which there might
be instances where clerks
are under-paid. The reply
of the General Chairman of

oEprcs OF THE PRESIDENT
To the Clerks and A6aJioted Employees of
The Chesapeake ond Ohio RoiluCoy Company:

are and have not received
any information on this sub
ject.
On April 9th, 1922, an
agreement was entered into
between this Company and
the organization represent
ing its clerks, in which the
rules governing their en-
ployment and method of de-
termining rates of pay was
agreed upon. AS a part of
this agreement there were
several rules, among which
were the sick leave and va
! cation rules, jointly submit
ted to the United States
Railroad Labor Board for
decision and are still pend
ing before that Board
consequently cannot be in
volved in this controversy.
Among the rules agreed
to was Rule No. Sd, reading
as follows:
Rates of pay for employees
named herein will be those
mutually agreed upon by the
C. & o. Executive Board of
the Organization, party to
this agreement and represent
atives of the Company. OR
AS AUTHORIZED BY THE
UNITED STATES LABOR
BOARD"
1t will be observed that
this is an absolutely positive
agreement to accept the
rates of pay authorized by
the United States Railroad
Labor Board.
Rule 80, another agreed
upon rule, reads as follows:
This agreement shall be
effective as of February 18th,

1922, and shall continue in ef.
feet until II is changed as pro-
vided herein or under the pro-
visions of the Transportation
Act, 1920.
SHOULD either Of the par
ties to this agreement desire
to revise or modify these
rules, 30 days written ad-
vance notice, containing the
proposed changes, shall be
given and conferences shall
be held Immediately on the
expiration of said notice un-
less another date is mutually
agreed upon
No notice of cancellation
Of this agreement has been
received from the clerks as
provided for by this rule.
We do not feel that the
clerks as a body will sane
ton the violation of a for
malIy signed statement,
made for them by their au-
thorized representatives. A
strike, if that is what is
meant by specific instruc-
tions," would be against
the decisions of the United
States Railroad Labor Board
insofar as wages are con-
cerned, would be called
while the disputed rules are
pending before the Labor
Board, as above shown,
AND is ALSO IN VIOLA
TION OF YOUR OWN
SIGNED AGREEMENT. We
call upon the members of
this organization to carry
out their agreement with us.
