The funeral services were carried out according to Dr. Kealing's manner of life. which was held at the First A. M. E. church, Eighth street and Nebraska avenue at 10 A. M., of which the family were members. The body lay in state at the church from 9 A. M. Wednesday until 9 A. M. Thursday, guarded by a special detachment from the College Cadets. Interment was at Woodlawn cemetery. Telegrams were received from friends all over the United States. A profusion of floral offerings were presented by the many loving friends, organizations and firms. Paul Quinn college of which Dr. Kealing was once president, sent a floral offering. Bishop Parks delivered the funeral address. Many resolutions were announced. Pall bearers were members of the faculty. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS MARCH 1, 1918 CITIZENS FORUM (By M. C. M., Pub Com.) Jan. 24, 1918. The People's Forum presented the K. C. branch of the N. A. A. C. P., on this date to assist in celebrating "Dubois Day," and were rewarded with the largest audience it has had since "Women's Day." Extra chairs had to be brought into the auditorium, while on Women's Day the larger overflow went into the balconies. President Buster turned the meeting over to the National Association officers, and the following program was rendered: Invocation, Mr. Porter; music, Sumner night school; quotations on Dubois, Forum; chorus, Sumner night school; vocal solo, Mr. Wm. Cogswell, W. U., encored; current events, Prof. Wilburn; chorus, "Listen to the Lambs," old original form. The writer thinks it was more beautiful than the one arranged as an anthem or classic; Mrs. Frazier, in the popular block on Washington boulevard, a good song bird, was soloist; and the old version received an ovation. Then came a musical climax, the vocal solo, "Let Me In," by Miss Etta Moten, W. U. When she was announced she received great applause, and after this young singer, one of the best of the best song birds west or the Mississippi, finished, she received a great ovation, which resounded to the balconies and beautiful metallic ceiling. The principal address was given by Prof. G. A. Gregg, president of the K. C. K. N. A. A. C. P., and teacher of mathematics at W. U., His subject was "Dr. Dupbols Life Work." 'Twas practical and profitable. He told how he began to edit the "Crisis" and how in 1910 he only had 1,750 subscribers, and now in 1918, he has 56,000. Told how his ideal of higher education is needed as is also the industrial education advocated by our late Hon. Booker T. Washington is also needed. It was a fine address and Prof. Gregg received great applause. Another good feature of the program was the community singing of the Battle Hymn of the Republic and two others. It was fine, and the large audience regretted there was not time for more of it. Prof. A. J. Neely made very appropriate remarks, and after those who had solicited previously reported 36 new members, President Gregg solicited ten, which was the highest. The night school chorus rendered a good closing chorus. Prof. J. P. King, chairman of the educational committee, had charge of the fine program. Next Sunday, March 3rd, another excellent program will be rendered. And the following Sunday, community singing and another fine program will be given. Cme every Sunday to the Forum, the largest literary organization for the good of the people in the city, and you will certainly be benefited. CARD OF THANKS. Silvan E.

SUMNER HIGH NOTES Mr. Buster has completed a play, titled, "For the Democracy of the World." It is both patriotic and racial in character and deals with some of the foremost problems of today. This play is to be produced in April by the Senior class. As soon as a sufficient number of copies have been typewritten the characters will be chosen and the rehearsals started. The Senior play is usually given to insure funds for commencement and class day expenses. This year it has been decided that the proceeds above these expenses will go into the funds for the community house at Camp Funston. The funds derived from the Junior play will be used to make up the deficiency in our required quota of the Junior Red Cross campaign. This amount at the present has been forwarded from the faculty fund and one full quota of $64.25 has been forwarded to the treasurer of the Junior Red Cross association. One feature of Sumner week will be a special moving picture play for the patrons and friends. There will be two shows, one in the afternoon and one at night, so as to accommodate everyone. This is a film that has been made for schools and parent-teacher associations. Seven boys were sent to represent Sumner at the funeral of Prof. Kealing. They were Shelton French, Albert Maddox, Dale Bougess, Louvere Wortman, Hugh Brown, Joseph Lewis, and Curtis Vaughn. Mr. Hodge attended as a representative of the faculty. NEW PRESIDENT YATES Y. W. C. A. HAS STARTED THIS INSTITUTION ON THE UPWARD MARCH Mrs. E. J. Patterson, the new president of the Yates branch, Y. W. C. A. has started things on the upward march, for this most worthy institution. Last week the president reported $72 in membership fees. Mrs. Patterson is a tireless worker and she does not know what failure is, when it comes to doing things. The Adelpha Art club met with Mrs. Meritt, 913 Washington boulevard, last week and was in keeping with Washington's birthday. A fine musical program was rendered and Mrs. A. M. Brown gave an interesting talk on the life of Washington. Refreshments were served in courses. WANTED: Lady or Gentleman, for SONG PUBLICATIONS, Sure money.

Walker, Guest of Greater Kansas City, Steps From Washtub to Millionaire in Fourteen Years. Give Two Lectures While Here. Greater Kansas City had the honor clothes. She has an income of one-quarter of a million dollars a year. She made every cent of her money without aid or encouragement from any living soul. Pause while you take off your hat to her. "Mrs. Walker was born in Delta, La., of ex-slave parents. Left an orphan at seven, she was treated with such cruelty by those with whom she lived that she married at fourteen to get a home. She was left a widow at twenty with one child, and her only means of support was the wash-tub. Madame Walker is pleasant to meet, a splendid conversationalist and free from egotism. She loves her race and is a philanthropist in the real sense of the term, when it comes to using her means for a worthy cause; of which she finds many in her travels. On last Friday evening Madame Walker entertained the public with stereopticon views and lecture at the Metropolitan Baptist Temple on the Kansas side and on Tuesday night of this week, she entertained the Missouri side at St. Stevens Baptist church. She left Wednesday for St. Louis and from there she will go to Indianapolis, where her main factory is located. In an interview on Tuesday Madame Walker stated her two hundred and fifty thousand mansion that's being built just out of New York City on the Hudson would be ready for occupancy, in April, where she expected to entertain the races poor and needy, as those who had been more fortunate in this world's goods. So remarkable has been the career of Madame C. J. Walker, famous the world over for her wondreful success that the conservative journals and newspapers of the country including the Literary Digest, New York Times, Kansas City Star and many others too numerous to mention, have spent columns—especially since the erection of her two hundred and fifty thousand dollar mansion on the Hudson in an attempt to do her justice. Well might she be called a financial genius—and truly did the Des Moines Leader say just this past week after she had addressed an overflow meeting in one of the city's largest auditoriums: "From the washtub to a million dollar fortune is the sort of a fairytale of which any American woman might be proud to be the heroine." The Literary Digest styles her "The Queen of Gotham's Colored 400." And Francis L. Garside in the Kansas City Star describes in detail her most interesting interview with the Madam but read the story for yourself and then as she so aptly suggests "pause while you take off your hat so her:" "I found myself in a very large beauty parlor with parquet floors, with the ceiling, sidewalls and decorations of a delicate gray. A clerk told me I could not see Madam, she was asleep, but she kindly made an appointment for me, and on the second call I was taken upstairs and seated in the drawing-room to await Madam's convenience. I am not a Southerner; I waited. "When she came into the room a few minutes later I realized how adaptable my sex is to change from poverty to wealth, for Mrs. Walker, washerwoman fourteen years ago, carried her generous weight gracefully on high French heels and wore an expenseelive lavendar silk dressing gown on a week-day morning, with a lack of self-consciousness few of us know when we get on our Sunday NO.27 clothes. She has an income of one-quarter of a million dollars a year. She made every cent of her money without aid or encouragement from any living soul. Pause while you take off your hat to her. "Mrs. Walker was born in Delta, La., of ex-slave parents. Left an orphan at seven, she was treated with such cruelty by those with whom she lived that she married at fourteen to get a home. She was left a widow at twenty with one child, and her only means of support was the wash-tub. "Many years ago her hair began coming out, and she prayed the Lord to save it. "He answered my prayer,' she told me, 'for one night I had a dream, and in that dream a man appeared to me and told me what to mix for my hair. Some of the remedy was grown in Africa, but I sent for it, mixed it, put it on my scalp and in a few weeks my hair was coming in. I tried it on my friends; it helped them. I made up my mind I would begin to sell it." "Mrs. Walker lived them in St. Louis. She moved to Denver where she arrived with a dollar and a half. She quickly found a place as cook and saved her money until finally she had enough to buy the ingredients she needed for her boom to bald-heads.' Her first laboratory was an attic. She worked two days in the week to get money enough to pay her rent, and the rest of the time she spent making up her hair grower. She seems to have had an excellent business head, for says the writer: "She has always had a respect for printer's ink that places her ahead of many white floks, for as fast as she earned a little money she spent it in advertising, and she at one time owned a newspaper of her own called the Afro-American, in which she extolled editorially, telegraphically, and locally the wonder of her wares. She went on the road; she established agents in various towns; she move dto Indianapolis, where the factory is now located and opened headquarters in Pittsburg and New York, and always she advertised, spending more on printers ink in the beginning that she spent on bread and butter. She conducts a number of beauty course schools, turning out many graduates at the school in New York every six weeks. She recently held a meeting of her agents in Philadelphia, and they came from far and near, four hundred strong. She employs five domestics in her New York home, six girls work in her office; she has a force much larger in Indianapolis; and has her own lawyer. It is her intention in the coming year to enlarge her factory. One of her agents in Philadelphia was earning $5.00 a week as a servant when Madam found her; her income is $250.00 a month now. Madam Walker maintains year after year six students at Tuskegee, Ala. She lives in luxury, but it not a profligate, giving to the poor what many white folks of her income devote to riotous living. Her secretary took me through the house, and this was not the least interesting part of my visit. Everything was bought without regard to KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. THOMAS KENNEDY, Editor and Prop. G. A.

The daughters bedroom is furnished with ivory-tinted furniture of Louis XVI style and the bedroom set cost $4,500. The hangings are in old rose, and the pictures and stautary in the room are as costly as the furniture. Her own room is furnished in mahogany. There is one of those big $200 Victrolas in the bedroom hall, and I though one would surely satisfy, but I saw another in the drawing room covered with gold leaf to match a gold leaf grand piano, and an immense gold leaf harp. In the main hall there is a player organ that reaches the ceiling. The dining room was the one in Wanamaker's show place—the House Palatial—beaten by a great many feet in walnut and cut glass and the kitchen is dazzling with white tile walls and floor. From its windows I caught a glimpse of a garden with one of those things in it which we who never sat under one call a "markee." CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR G. A. Gregg, Conference President of Kansas Conference Topic: Prayer, Jno. 14-12-17. "Christian Duty and Privilege." It should not be difficult for one to pray. Prayer is a way of seeking the thing desired. We should desire the best. We should desire only the thing that is needed. Prayer is the sincere desire of the heart uttered or expressed. It is well to take attitude of body in keeping with humanity. It is better to pray without ceasing. Be instant in season and out of season. To pray unceasingly would certainly be good for it is the same as constantly desiring the best of what ever one comes in contact. We meet people—pray for them—desire the best for them. We think, therefore pray, for the best thought—desire good thoughts. Voluntary short prayers are often called for in our meetings. Think of the most desirable thing, then weave it into a few sentences. The date of our State Christian Endeavor at Leavenworth will be July 10, 11, 12. These dates will meet the convenience of Dr. Caldwell and Bishop Parks. Plan well for it. A great convention — a great interest. Be there! You may know what is going on among the colored people of your community if you read The Advocate Your home paper. HOW HE QUIT TOBACCO This veteran, S. B. Lamphere, was addicted to the excessive use of tobacco for many years. He wanted to quit but needed something to help him. He learned of a free book that tells about tobacco habit and how to conquer it quickly, easily and safely. In a recent letter he writes: any more. I feel like a new This veteran, S. B. Lamphare, was addicted to the excessive use of tobacco for many years. He wanted to quit but needed something to help him. He learned of a free book that tells about tobacco habit and how to conquer it quickly, easily and safely. In a recent letter he writes: "I have no desire for tobacco any more. I feel like a new man." Anyone desiring a copy of this book on tobacco habit, smoking and chewing, can get it free, postpaid, by writing to Edward J. Woods, WB 318, Station F, New York City.

Wednesday, prayer meeting, 7:30 P. M. The largest congregation attended the morning service that has been seen this winter. Nearly every available space was filled in the auditorium. Dr. Griffin came from a sick bed of four days with a doctor waiting on him every day up to Saturday, but with all of that preached a sermon that thrilled the vast audience with eloquense of gospel truths. At the close of his appeal for a higher and nobler Christian life six came forward and joined the church. Rev. N. B. Robinson of the Mission church on North Tremont street filled the pulpit at the evening service with great credit to himself and the expounding of the scriptures. The Knife and Fork banquet on March the 28th is being looked forward to as one of the largest and finest of its kind that has ever been seen in Kansas City, Kansas. It looks, at this early period, that not less than 1,000 will have plates at this great feast. NETROPOLITAN TEMPLE. This church had a large audience as usual, and at 11 a. m. Pastor Holmes preached a timely sermon from I Tim. V. 13, subject, "Tattlers" In part he said, "The only thing that will govern the tongue is to get your heart right with God." Close your ears to tattlers. It is not our business to make others feel badly by telling them what we hear about them, but get on the right road to heaven. "Tattlers are a disturbing element," Paul says, "For peace's sake, I'll hold my tongue." That doesn't mean we are not to speak out against sin. He gave such wonderful Scriptural advice that we know that God's spirit was awakened in many breasts, and those who have tattled will pray to overcome that sin. At night he preached a wonderful sermon from I. Cor., 2 cap. 9-10. "Eye hath not seen nor ear heard; neither have entered into the heart of man, the things God hath prepared for them that love Him." Undertaker Gardner and Miss Brown united with the church. The ordinary collections for two Sundays together have been over $100. The poor, the rich, the small and the great are welcome at the Metropolitan Temple next Sunday, March 3rd. Many sermons. A special sermon by the pastor and Holy Sacrament will be administered. Come join with us and go to Heaven. The Metropolitan Baptist pastor preached at Morning Star Baptist church in Kansas City, Mo., Sunday afternoon, and his choir sang at the same church. We are told the pastor and choir did well. They say, "They wish these Baptists or other churches would start a big revival." If you can't be the Boiler, then try to be the Oiler.

Tobacco Habit Easily Overcome Tobacco Habit Easily Overcome A New Yorker, of wide experience, has written a book telling how the tobacco or snuff habit may be easy and quickly banished with delightful benefit. The author, Edward J. Woods, WA 318, Station F, New York City, will mail his book free on request. The health improves wonderfully after tobacco craving is conquered. Calmness, tranquil sleep, clear eyes, normal appetite, good digestion, mainly vigor, strong memory and a general gain in efficiency are among the many benefits reported. Get rid of that nervous, irritable feeling; no more need of pipe, cigar, cigarette, snuff or chewing tobacco to pacify morbid desire.

We knew from his grin and his gleeful eye, that this was the lanky young American's first visit to Paris; that, like most of us, he had gained his earliest impression of France from postcard pictures of naive, scantily-lingered young women kicking at chandeliers, and that he expected to step right off the train into a swirling saturnalia of cussedness. His "Gay P'ree" never did exist, but we had an aching apprehension that the truly gay Paris which we had known and loved, would be sombre and sad; for the tremendous courage with which she had met these past dreadful years must certainly have been at the sacrifice of her bright and happy spirit. We feared to see Paris in her depression. Depression? Why, the boulevards are thronged and there is laughter, and the bells of the cab horses jingle as merrily as if the big cannon were not ceaselessly pounding and roaring less than 70 miles away; the shop windows blaze with such a collection of precious gems as Alladin never saw and the boulevardier, though huddled now against the wintry chill in a blue uniform, sits, as of old, at his little table beneath the dripping awning of a sidewalk cafe, and sips his hot coffee, while the world swarms by him on the pave. He's just back from the trenches on leave—his medals show that—but to look at his face you would never know there was a war, nor that there was or had been any grim thought in his mind. His cheeks are pink, and his mustaches are nattily curled, and he has a danc- CHANUTE, KANSAS — TEACHER TRAINING WORK. 1001 N. Steuben St. Mrs. J. T. Smith, Supt. to the faithful pastors of the Kansas City District, Greeting. Brethren, the fight is on and and the church as well as this great government of ours is preparing soldiers to battle against the misconstruction of the great and wonderful plan of salvation. Through much teaching we must win a victory for God, and His Christ. How are we 'to do it? By training teachers that may know how and what to teach. And in order to do this we are asking every pastor to see 'to it that there is a teacher training class organized in his church. And at any time you should need my services in organizing I shall be glad to come to you or answer any question you wish to ask. PUBLICATION NOTICE. In the District Court of Wyandotte County, Kansas.

Everybody walks nowadays, since gasoline is so scarce and since practically every motor vehicle has been commandeered for military purposes. Amid the kaleidoscopic uniforms of all the allies, as the procession jostles and chatters past, there are mingled the snappy little boulevard girls, considerably in evidence but not much more so than of old, and the shop girls, and an entirely new element; the grand dame! Yes, the grand dame walks, too, and is cheerful about it; and pampered pets now walk which never soiled their paws before. As the philosophical Frenchman says, with a smile and a shrug of his shoulders, "But, yes, it is the war!" Of course, there are a few taxis, run principally by ex-soldiers who have earned the right to become civilians. But you are not lordly with a taxi driver any more; you do not stand at the curb, hold up your finger until a taxi races to your feet, brusquely give your direction, step in, and slam the door; not so! You wait until one stops in your block, or the next one, to discharge a passenger; then you rush to it imploringly, and tell the potentate where you would like to go. If he cares about driving into that neighborhood, away you rattle lickety-split at a hair-raising speed; it rests entirely with him, however, whether he will wait to bring you back. As likely as not, he won't. The reason lies not in any lack of humanitarian interest in your welfare, but in the fact that he is only allowed so many liters of "essence" per day, and he must make every spoonful count. Naturally, mutuale necessity promotes the flow of the milk of )human kindness. We had an important errand, and rushed to meet the first taxi which stopped at the curb, but the lady who alighted smiled, and held up a warn- ```markdown ``` Eyes Examined Glasses Fitted F. C.

"My place is right on your way, and if you don't mind waiting while Irun in to buy this chauffeur a pair of Christmas gloves—he's been so nice!—you may take me home, where I will pay him off, and you may have him from there on." She smiled again. "Taxis are so difficult to secure. We must all help each other." That fact was further illustrated in the bureau where we had the important business. We had a few minutes to wait, and the concerge, one of the most pleasant and affable old men to be met, explained with extreme politeness and extreme volubility that monsieur might smoke if he liked, that there was positively no rule here against smoking, and that monsieur must make himself perfectly at home. Monsieur did not at all feel like smoking at that moment, but, being further urged, saw the point and brought out the cigarette box. Of course, the temporary host was invited to have a smoke, and the pleasure with which he accepted it, added to the fact that he would not light it then but saved it for after dinner, brought sharply to mind that cigarettes are a luxury in Paris. For fully 20 minutes the concierge, whom we came to know very well as Phillippe, entertained us with droll stories of how "stingy" he was with himself, now that he was putting every franc into the war loans, and we left him with a reeling that the only thing he considered was to make us comfortable and happy while in his little room. It was not until afterwards we learned that Philippe has lost three sons, one son-in-law, four nephews and seven cousins in this war! We went down to the Louvre, with many misgivings, to find if a quaint jewelry shop we had known of old was still in existence. Still there, and the little old jeweler, not much more shrunken since the bygone days, recognized us at once and came forward radlant with greeting. How was business, we asked after a while. There was none to speak of. The different pollus on leave bought occasional trinkets, and the shop might as well be closed as open until after the war; except that it was not good for Paris to have blind windows; so he kept the shop running, while his former constant companions, madame and the dog, lived in the country, where living was cheaper.

We told her. She smiled again. 2033 N. Second St. A brave and helpful spirit in the little jeweler, for in every word, in every glance, in every smile, there was the one thought, to pass along a cheerful feeling; and by reason of that particularly French idea, Paris is still gay. A new terrible test has proved the irrisistible buoyancy of the Parisian. The dire day came when it was ordered that there be no more cakes! Only those who know Paris pastry can realize the depth of that calamity. War bread had long since replaced the flaky white buns and rolls and various bakery delights in which the French and their visitors reveled alike, but there had been no complaint. The pangs of that deprivation could be alleviated a nice little gateau with the afternoon tea or coffee. Now what was to be done? The tea hour was an institution, and the cake its bulwark! Did Paris mope, and close its tearooms and cafes? No. The Frenchman is very fond of his cafe. It is more than a feeding place; it is a place for the meeting of friends, which is why luncheon needs an hour and a half and dinner from two to two and a half hours. Not food occupies all the time, but the indulgence of a pleasure which this nation of all others has not lost; the joy of conservation. So Paris has the afternoon tea or coffee just the same, and, without even a crust of bread, makes up in safety what it lacks in cakes. "Mais, out, c'est la guerre." It is the war! That is the catchword of Paris; one hears it everywhere. It is the excuse for everything, particularly for a deprivation. The next place we heard it was at dinner, when the lights winked at 9:15. There came an immediate lull in the chatting vivacity. It was at that delightful coffee period of the dinner, when the long cigars are lighted, and the human system is full of peace, and the conversation, however serious it might have been before, turns to drollery. For a moment after the lights winked, there was a silence almost glum, then the shrug of the shoulders and the cheerful smile. Checks were paid, wraps were donned, and chatter was resumed as we all filed out. At 9:30 every dinner place in town was empty—for gendarmes stood at the door to see that they were empty Outside we met our friend, the lanky American, and he was grouped dejectedly with three of the boys, wondering what next to do. "Hello," we hailed him. "How do you like 'Gay Pree?'" "Why, this is the most respectable town on earth!" he complained. KANSAS CITY, KAS. MANICURING—SINGING Face Massage.

"The war hasn't stopped gay Paris, but it has stopped 'Gay Pree,' if by that you mean certain scandalous places where the French never go." They grinned sheepishly, and shifted to the other foot. "But tell me; you know New York, don't you?" The glumnest of the quartet did. "Well, would you call Stinger Maguire's fake Chinatown representative of New oYrk life?" He wasn't old enough to remember "Stinger" Maguire, but he was walling to listen. Stinger was the unappreciated genius who framed New York's first "yapp thrillers;" and his best bit, until a knife which was tossed into his spine from a Pell street window brought to an end his brief cess, was a long fueral, with a wax corpse more than lifellike in its lurid chliverness. Stinger's audience, mostly curious souls from Squeedunk and Huskville, viewed the sacred secret ceremonies in breathless silence and at a dollar a throw, through the slit in a curtain on a balcony. At the proper moment, each night, the members of an opposing tong broke in, their faces distorted with bloodthirsty fury. Shrill imprecations filled the air, the corpse was overturned, the lights went out, the furniture clattered and crashed, six bunches of firecrackers were let off in the darkness, and, as a close to the evening's entertainment, the visitors went pouring out of Mott street with their hearts in their throats, to go BOULDIN C "That ```markdown ``` BANITARY FIRST.

YOUTH NO BAR, BUT LOW NECK DRESSES AND SILK STOCKINGS WON'T DO. Washington, Feb. 27.—The United States may be forced to follow the example successfully worked out by England and establish farm work training camps for women as an emergency plan for tilling every available acre to increase the food supply. Three government agencies are at work on the project—the department of agriculture and labor and the council of national defense. The critical situation in foodstuffs together with the urgent need of all skilled man power in war industries has caused the government to commence serious consideration of the question of women for farm work. American women are performing great service in Red Cross and general relief work, but there are thousands who want to work on the farms in the lighter tasks, and many have applied to the department of labor fr instruction. Following a conference with the two departments and the women's committee of the council of national defense, it was decided to impose immediately on the 2,000 farm county agents of the department of agriculture the task of sscertaining from farmers just how many women could be used for speeding up the food production. Mrs. Hilda Mulhauser Richards, director of the women's division of the United States employment service, was placed in charge of the enrolment and distribution of voluntary women workers, and the women's committee of the defense council was charged with the subsequent location of the prospective training camps, with their prospective state representatives allotted to the task of supervising the conditions under which the women might work. Women will not be taken from their city work and homes and permitted it wrk on farms until they have proved their physical fitness for the work in one of the training stations, it is proposed. Should the movement prove successful here, the government of the state branches of the council together with women's colleges may provide the training warms. Vassar College has 750 acres of farm land to offer. MEETING IN WASHINGTON OF NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ADVISES ACTION. WOULD ADD 3,000,000 MEN SENATOR NEW OF INDIANA INTRODUCES BILL THAT IS FAVORABLY RECEIVED. Washington, Feb. 27.—Officers and members of the National Association for Military Training are today furthering the bill introduced into the senate by Senator New of Indiana for the immediate registration and training of all young men physically fit between the ages of 19 and 30 years. This bill will add three million men to our available fighting forces and will take in all the features suggested for registering men who have reached their twenty-first birthday since June 5 last. The best feature of it is that only a very small percentage of these will be placed in deferred classification on account of dependents, as men of these ages are not often married. The bill provides that while these men shall be registered and trained, they shall not be sent to the trenches or battle fields until they have reached their majority. This will enable the United States to put several million men into the field, well trained and equipped at least a year sooner than would be possible under the present registration laws. COMMISSIONERS OF WYANDOTTE COUNTY GO OVER ROUTE WITH J. H. BRADY WORK TO START IN JUNE OFFICIALS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC OVER PROSPECTS FOR CLEAN, HARD, FINE ROADS Leavenworth, Kas., Feb. 26.—The official inspection o the route selected for the Fort to Fort concrete road through Leavenworth and Wyandotte cunties was made yesterday amidst very disagreeable weather. Owing to the high wind and a chilly atmosphere the crowd out for the inspection trip was not as large as was anticipated. There was a good sized crowd out, however, for the luncheon at the Chocolate Shop, many Leavenworth business men, mostly all members of the Chamber of Commerce being present. The party that came up from Kansas City, Kas., and arrived at the Leavenworth county line south of Walina at 10 o'clock yesterday morning consisted of J. C. Wonders, federal government engineer for this district, which takes in the states of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri; M. W. Wateon, road engineer for the Kansas High commission; Samuel Clarke and David Buckland, commissioners of Wyandotte county; O. K. Williamson, engineer of Wyandotte county, J. H. Brady, legal advisor of the Wyandotte board. After introductions a trip was made over the route of the proposed road along the Leavenworth-Wyandotte county line west to a point south of Basehor. At one place a part of the road that has had not attention of late was so rough that the men in the party left their automobiles and traversed a mile on foot while the drivers of the machines met them at the other end of a lane, making a round about trip to do so. The blue print plans of the road, prepared as a result of the State Agricultural College survey of a year ago were referred to frequently and the government and state engineers paid tention to all the culverts and hills. They made a cereful examination of some of the culverts and bridges with a view of estimating their strength. In the afternoon the official party made an inspection of the road leading from a point south of Basehor through Stranger, Tonganoxie and Reno townships to the Douglas county line at Six Corners. At that point the Leavenworth county people turned back to their homes and the others went on into Lawrence. J. H. Brady, legal advisor of the Wyandotte county board, said that the people down his way were anxious to have the hard road put in and that they would do their part. He said that in time it would mean a long line of handsome residences on each side of the road between Leavenworth and Kansas City. Wyandotte county has not acted on the road petitions yet, and it developed yesterday that they may not do so on account of being fully up to their bond issue limit until the legislature meets next winter. This is not expected to delay the movement to push the road through or to interfere with the present plans. A man just called up and after stating that he wished to speak to the Globule "fellah" told us that we might be a very good writer and all that sort of thin, but he didn't think much of our "stuff." We agreed with him, and told him that he should have seen this colyum a few days back. We admitted that we were rotten but asked particularly not to rub it in. Call again, old top. Yes, the chappie was an Englishman. *** Mr. Taft suggests that the country needs a firing squad to take care of spies in America. PROOF of treason should be followed by capital punishment as a matter of course, "to encourage the others," as the French say. But ABSOLUTE proof, without doubt in the mind of any fair man, should precede action by the firing squad. ** To detect and punish treason is vitally important. It is important also to consider millions of Americans of German birth or descent great majority loyal to this country—that the country will be loyal to them, and trust them as patriotic brothers—as long as they remain loyal to the country. A hasty "firing squad" firing on suspicion or on anything but the most convincing, overwhelming proof, would do a great deal more harm than good in the United States—that must be remembered. Senators voting to taxe the people hundreds of millions to repair broken-down railways, pay-extortionate dividends to the railroads for a while, then give the railroads back rebuilt—what are they? For the present they are individuals doing their best to injure the United States. Later they will be gentlemen of leisure, and Americans will replace them in the senate.

They appreciated very highly the sermon of the pastor, Rev. Bowren. There was much of sacred fervor exhibited throughout the entire service, but it reached its zenith when the choir, sang "Long as I can feel the spirit," joined by the many voices of the congregation. The generals of both the Odd and Even Rally Bands called a meeting immediately after service and the members responded dutifully. McClellan 733 Bell, W. 364 1918 WHAT WILL A Stack of W A Mrs. Bailey, the very earnest, energetic general of the Evens announced that her captains and members are to meet with her at the church every Thursday night at 8 o'clock. Business and refreshments are the objects most concerned. As usual Mrs. Lena Downs requests the presence of her captains and members at the church each and every Friday evening for the two fold purpose of business and refreshments. Mrs. Downs is the untiring faithful general of the Odds. To the captains and members of both factions of the rally: Listen! Do everything in your power to uphold and support our two noble generals, Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Downs, two of the most capable women of the church for the gigantic task ahead of us. We need the united efforts of each and every member. The collection Sunday was excellent. Everyone is always welcome at F. B. We were pleased to notice the many visitors present. Mrs. C. A.
