THURSDAY, MAY 23, 1918. THEIR DEAREST POSSESSION The war; nothing else matters. The mother and the son and the two little daughters in France sent their dearest possession to the K. U. professor and his wife who had adopted the son. They sent a photograph of the family with the father present, dressed in civilian clothes instead of in the horizon blue. The father had been killed in action the second year of the war. This was the only photograph the mother had but she wanted the American benefactors to see their adopted children. The son and the two daughters are only a few of the thousands of the Fatherless children of France who must be helped by the people of more fortune nations. And it takes so little to help them. The local organization of the society is making a special effort to raise funds for the support of French orphans this week. They are asking the co-operation and the support of every one. And if you are too busy to go to the benefit which they are giving send your check to the treasurer. THE TIME TO DO IT This summer is the time, 105 counties of Kansas are the place, the 860 daughters of the University of Kansas will be star witnesses in the case of Legislature vs. Permanent Income Bill. Equally responsible with them for the educational future of the state are the women of all the other state educational institutions. Nobody in the state is better able than they to testify to the habitual niggardiness and neglect of pottering, bungling one-half mule power politicians in respect to dealing with the needs of higher education through out the state. And the women have got to fight for the Permanent Income Bill alone because the men will be putting shoulders to the harvest or behind hammers in war industries or under guns in the army. It is true that many women are going to hospitals for nurse's training, that some are going into government bureaus and laboratories, that others are going to take up the work of absent men in business. All this is to the credit of the Permanent Income movement, however, for it shows what education in Kansas does and is worth and what more it deserves. But there will still be a consider able number of women going home to help the folks, going home to communities which have service flags flying, and Liberty Bond honor flags up staff, and Red Cross responsiveness measured in terms of double quota. Such communities are typical of old Kansas. And they will listen to the evidence in behalf of any righte- tous cause. Not only will they listen, but, if their questions are answered convincingly, they will act. Never before, then, have the women of Kansas had more required of them. Abroad and at home duty calls. Intelligence leads. The educational interests of the state must be strengthened at such a time, and reinforce reinforcement coming with the Permanent Income Bill is in the hands of women to bring about. These women must tell the story of how and why there is a permanent fund provided under the millage tax system for education, a fund that will be known to every individual contributing to it because his share has definitely been given. For educational institutions, like human constitutions, must have energy producing stimulus administered not spasmodically but regularly, intelligently, with foresight and selective care, always with sufficiency. Education in Kansas has been suffering from malnutrition. In years there has not been sufficiency; for years irregularity and uncertainty of apportionments have denied fulness of life and service. Now it is time to do something. Fortify with facts. Make every fact count. Secure something of lasting good for the people of this state. It is their right to possess it. Help them to gain it. SPECIFIC FACT The Kansan stated a general truth yesterday with reference to the auditing of student accounts, a general truth that in its generality did not particularize sufficiently in regard to the auditor and the auditing. That job is and has been well done. Here is how and why. Increasing his work from a third to a half, George O. Foster, who is as busy as any University registrar can be, has undertaken to audit the accounts of student organizations and functions. His spirit has been wholly co-operative, and he has had to teach, literally give the elements of bushness to some who had been honest but slipphed in customs of the past. There is one organization which now has its papers on his desk, one very important organization which has never kept receipts stubs for incoming funds. Hereafter they will. Just now it is rather difficult to make a complete audit. In the next place only half a dozen of some thirty odd organizations and functions have actually to date put their accounts in for auditing. Some, like the Jayhawker for instance, are not to be expected until work is all done for them. But the rest have less than ten days left to get in their papers, and those ten days are increasingly busier for the registrar's office what with graduating the seniors and a few hundred associated details. The Kansan strongly recommends the appointment of a man whose whole business it shall be to do this auditing of students' books. His job would begin in September and end in September. He could take the initiative far more than the present constituted officers have the time to. He would have one great big job all his own. And the registrar would still be working more hours a day than labor unions permit most of their members! But-the student account books which are in the registrar's possession now are a condition and not a theory and some agreement should be reached so that the organizations can settle accounts immediately. "Nolan," the officer, "you are not properly dressed. Why is your coat not worn?" An Irish soldier had lost an eye in battle, but was allowed to continue in the service on consenting to have a glass eye in its place. One day, however, he appeared on parade without his artificial eye. DOUBLE DUTY "Sure, sir," replied Nolan, "I left it in my box to keep an eye on me kit while I'm on parade."—Journal American Medical Association. (Stoffolt is the man of long ago who was in K. U, for a time and yet was scarcely known. After the verses he left behind him are all published, it may be possible to give more of him and what he did.) POET'S CORNER THE TAPESTRY OF AGES The Tapestry of Ages slow is exerted. Each life, by Time, is woven as a thread: And some are bright—sky blue and ruby red, And some there are that break off and are naught. Lo, here and there a shining golden thought That, winding through the sombre tones, is led To trace the beauty on the background dead: And all the work in harmony is brought. For we see not the figure that we weave, We know each broken strand, each ragged end: The greater work must be beyond our sight. But when the days, the nights—aye, Time shall leave, That mighty one toward which all ages tend Shall stand revealed triumphant, Right. ARCADY — Gounous Stoloff. No sound is heard. No sound is heard Through the morning air. No sounds are heard. Through the morning air, Save the call of a bird From its leathair. A soft balmy breeze Stirls each leaf tree; There's a hum of bees From the clover lea. The sun shines bright Through the drowsy air And a lazy delight Reigns everywhere. Gounous Stoloff. RedCrossNews FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US$ARE ENLISTED Three Things The Red Cross has with your fighting dollars expressed to the men of our Army and Navy the moral and legal support of the American people. They have enabled us to hearten the fighting forces of our Allies and to keep alive among the civil population, the spirit necessary to win the war. It is in recognition of this important influence that statesmen and generals everywhere have acclaimed your Red Cross one of the factors most vital to the success of our cause. Your Red Cross has made possible the patriotic service of millions of Americans. It has enabled us in the second line to serve the cause of Liberty no less efficiently, not less forcefully than those who fight with machine gun and bayonet. Your Red Cross has welded together the people of America as no other agency could have done. It has given new meaning to those ideals for which we are fighting. It has fostered the spirit of loyalty, democracy and liberty. Your Army and Navy are fighting democracy. Your Army and Navy are fighting democracy. Your Red Cross dollars are fighting to make it fit for democracy. That Army of Fighting Dollars must be maintained at war strength. Its depleted ranks must be refilled. A Belgian girl of 9, when brought into one of the Red Cross stations in Northern France and offered food, said she wasn't hungry. The nurse in charge knew that it was fear and timidity that concealed the pangs of hunger; so she poached an egg and offered it. What—a Whole Egg? It is in many homes such as these that the American Red Cross is rendering immense help by providing food, clothing and education. And, after devouring it, she related that, once a week, in occupied Belgium, her mother would divide one child into two provide—between three small children. “What,” said the child, “a whole erg. all for me—all at once!” Woodrow Wilson Says of the Red Cross: "I am hopeful that our people will realize that there is probably no other agency with which they can associate themselves and respond so effectively and universally to allay distress." The Red Cross spends money to save life. CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS For Rent For Sale Lost Found Help Wanted Situation Wanted Telephone K.
