Rises To Editor Rank From Printer's Devi
John J. Klistler, Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Kannas enables in work. His knowledge of the various points of the game enables him to run the proverbial small town week in which he was a printer and then to printer's death. Klistler did his first newspaper work way back in his high school days on the Alta Vista Journal, a weekly publication. There he learned to chase down assignments, set the timeline and then set the result up ready for the press.
Knatter in his work in the Daily Kannan has frequently done all of this. Now in his position as Editor-in-Chief, he is often from lack of material he has often written most of the editorials himself and then to save time typed them off on the imotype. For the editor he has always made up his own page.
"The real game is advertising and that is the work I intend to take up when I finish school. I believe there is more of a future in that department of the newspaper business. It is not as crowded as the writing game and thereina much more creative," she explains to the profession to where salaries are bigger and after all that is what we are out for isn't it?"
STUDY FRENCH PRESS
Professor D. L. Patterson, For mer War Correspondent, Talks to Journalists
That a newspaper does not need a great deal of advertising to be a financial success was brought out by Prof. D. L. M. Paterson, former war correspondent, in his talk on the Newspapers of France before the comparative journalism class, this morning.
"Ads play a secondary role in French newspapers," said Prof. Patterson. "We don't care much for advertising. We believe our paper will sell and pay for itself," he added quoting the editor of the *Le Temps*, the leading newspaper in Paris. The noticeable point in the French papers is the lack of a half-page or an eighth of a page of the entire paper is given over to advertising. They get good money for the few ads they have."
"The French newspapers are very small," said Prof. Patterson, "but small as they are they are well edited. During the war the government limited the amount of paper to be used.
Very few of the papers own their own newspaper plants, but are printed by shops which do not belong to them and so are out very little expense. They are sold at newsstands by newsboys which are located at every corner. Feill istartsshow he an"filler. Few illustrations are used.
"All French newspapers are very personal, on the first page each day are articles written by the editor, or a regular contributor or some one not connected with the paper on some topic of the day. Each of these articles are signed by the writer. There is no regular editorial page. In each edition there is a space describing the author's name at next day; many instances there are footnotes proving the assertions the author might make."
"The Journalism of the papers is of high class. They are papers carefully edited, the news is compact. A great deal of interesting news is put into the small space of the papers. There is no police news, and other non-essential news, but good solid stuff."
Prof. Patterson's talk was the second of a series to be given concerning foreign newspapers. He spent six months in France at two different times when he was serving as war correspondent in 1916 and 1917.
The next lecture of the series is by Con Hoffman, Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock on "Newsperm of Germany"
Political Campaign Club Will be Non-Partisan
"We don't care what your politics are but we do care that you are a big man for a big place."

NEW EPIDEMIC STRIKES
Topeka Calls K. U. Bacteriologist to Help Fight Strange Mabady
Topeka, Jan. 13—Dr. M. C. Sberbod head of the bacteriology department at K. U. has been summoned to Topeka to help solve the nature of the mysterious malady which causes pains and victims in the past two days.
That the water or any local situation is not responsible was demonstrated by the fact that the state hospital has a number of similar cases and the state government has a penitentiary, and the city of Leavenworth had an epidemic of the same
nature. Dr. T. D. Cuttle of the state health department is inclined to the theory that the intestinal trouble may be a form of the belated "fliu" germ which was to strike Kansas sometime last week.
No cases of the strange malady which is sweeping parts of Oklahoma and Kansas have been reported to the Students Hospital. Nothing is known about this accounts in the papers, according to authorities at the hospital.

YOUTH HAS APPEAL FOR YOUNG PIANIST
Percy Grainger Finds the Older Audiences Not so Appreciative
His First Trip to Kansas
Selections From His Own Comp positions Will Feature Grainger's Concert Tonight
HE'S A GOOD DRIVER—Let's All Ride
"Kansas is a very beautiful state, and I consider myself fortunate in being privileged to spend a few short days in Lawruero", was the way Perkinson expressed himself this afternoon. Mr. Craigarrie arrived here Sunday, and will give the third number of the University Concert Course in Robinson Auditorium tonight. Although he had been out United States, this is his first appearance in Kansas. Three years ago he appeared in concert in Kannas City.
When questioned as to the type of audience before whom he preferred to play, Mr. Grainer replied; "I find that the younger generations are far more appreciative than older persons, and for that reason most of my selections are of the worker composers. I have appeared before several college audiences, but never in the Middle West.
GERMAN WORK HAMPERED
GERMAN WORK HAMMERED
The English-speaking people are product of Europe, and the musical compositors today," said Mr. Grainger, "and the effects of the war will perhaps increase it. While there are a few noted German composers of today, their work will be hampered by the after-effects of the war. The German, English, French and Russians are the greatest composers at present.
Mr. Graineger, who enjoys a worldwide reputation as a pianist and composer, six years in Europe. He has toured in many different countries, conducting orchestras and giving concerts. His home is in New York, where he lives with his wife, but, as he puts it, we are seldom at home.
Following the completion of his concert work in the States about the middle of May Mr. Grainger will go to Europe for a short tour.
PLAYED FOR SOLDIERS
Mr. Grainger was engaged in Red Cress Work for two and a half years during the war, playing for the teams in the camps in the United States, and for 5 months was in band work.
His concert tonight will consist of several groups from the French, Russian and English composers, and one group from the US that also give some of his own compositions.

LEGISLATURE HEARS
LABOR'S SUBSTITUTE
The Plan Would Have Representatives of Labor, Capital, and the Public
Topeka, Jan. 13.—W. J. Lauck, labor statistic, appeared before the senate judiciary committee today with a proposed substitute for the industrial court bill. Luck's proposition was along the old system and provides for a court composed of labor representatives, one for capital matters, another for labor matters, and public. Lauck offered statistics concerning strikes in this country and Europe. His arguments predicted failure for the Allen measure.
Senator Martin of Reno in his discussion of the industrial court bill read extracts from the report of Frank P. Wahls on the industrial court during the war, of which Walsh was chairman. Martin said: "To my notice Frank P. Walhs is the most dangerous leader that labor could have found to present their argument in the industrial legalation before this body."
A motion to send the bill up for third reading subject to amendment and debate was defeated.
