The High Cost of Kings Kings were expensive ornaments in the twentieth century. It cost the taxpayers a tidy sum annually to maintain the men who ruled their destinies. William Hohenzollern in the days of his reign stood at the head of the payroll. Prussia paid him $4,804,824 a year, or about $400,000 monthly quite a stipend for a man who ruled by divine right and wasn't afraid to let the world Know about it either. The Reichstag added $750,000 annually as pay for being emperor of Germany, so his income exceeded $5,000,000. Out of this sum, the Clown Prince received $100,000 to prepare himself for the succession w to the crown and his five brothers also drew enough to maintain their royal dignity. Parenthetically it may be added that neither of the five sons lost his life in the great war. Now for a little comparison. The president of the United States and the forty-eight governors draw $600,000 annually, or only about fifty per cent more in one year than the ex-kaiser drew in one month. The population of the United States in round numbers is 100,000,000 and that of Germany 69,000,000. Besides paying the former emperor $5,000,00 annually, the German people in exchange for permitting petty tyrants to rule them with iron hand paid about ; $6,000,000 more to the bosses of the twenty-six kingdoms, grand duchies, duchies, principalities and free or republican cities, so that the full bill for the royal sway amounted to more than $11,000,000 annually. .

Furstenberger, pastor. Trinity English Lutheran There will be no services Sunday in accord anee with the request of the health authorities. The members are urged to hallow the day by home Bible study, prayer and the singing of sacred songs. The Sunday-school lesson is found in Genesis 33:1-11. The text of the sermon was to have been Psalm 128. Meditate upon it and make the application to the situation in which we find ourselves at present. Hymns 290 and 393 are suggested. The congregation is requested to unite in earnest prayer that God may stay the disease that has made it necessary to close our houses of worship. The pastor, Rev. O. T. F. Tressel. will preach the sermon at the rededication of Grace Lutheran church at Eaton, Ohio, in the afternoon at 2 o'clock. A quartet composed of the Misses Marie ami Marguerite Deuker and Messrs. Louis Stauber and Charles Driffmeyer will sing "Praise the Lord, O My Soul." by Harker, with Miss Edna Deuker at the organ. In the evening service Mls.-t Marie Deuker will sing the solo.

EC 89 "There's a Wideness in God's Mercy." An appropriate evening lesson would be. The twenty-first chapter in Revelations, because this is the last Sunday In the church year. Suitable hymns are 559 "God Bless Our Native Land," and 563 "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." "Here we have no continuing city, but we seek one to come." Second English Lutheran N. W. Third and Pearl streets. C. Raymond must be closed by order of the Board of Public Health because of the Influenza epidemic. In such a time, in stead of neglect of worship and forgetfulness of our dependance upon God. we should be all the more zealous in performing our religious obligations. May our people not fail at the family alter during these days. For Sunday we suggest the study of the Sunday school lesson, "Jacob Wins Esau." found in Gen. 33: 1-11. This shows the sweetness of forgiving and of being forgiven. The Gospel lesson in Matt. 25: 31-46 tells of the Christian grace of compassionate service to the needy. Psalm 46 teaches us of our refuge in times of trouble, and will increase our trust in God. "Our times are in Thy hand: O God, we wish them there; Our life, our friends, our souls we leave entirely to Thy care." First Methodist The church bell will ring at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning and the members of the con gregation are requested to have worship in their homes. The pastor has mailed to each family a program for home worship, consisting of the invocation, hymns, scripture lessons, pastoral prayer and sermon. If any fail to receive a copy it will be supplied upon request to the pastor. Telephone No. 1487. R. L. Semans.
and why they tolerated the nuisance baffles the citizens of a republic where public men owe their tenure of office to the votes of the people. It took four years of suffering before the German people threw off the yoke. Besides obtaining political freedom, they will save about $10,000,000 annually. ' .
Keep Your Liberty Bonds The Treasury Department has issued the following statement: "There is every indication that Liberty Loan bonds, issued during the war, will greatly rise in value with the establishment of peace." In 1888 a $100 United States bond, bearing 4 per cent interest, sold in the open market for $130. In 1901 it brought more than $139. The most conservative will agree that Liberty bonds are sure to go above par in value, now that .the Allies have brought the war to a victorious end. 'The shrewd and unscrupulous, the birds of prey in finance, realize the worth of Liberty bonds, and are using every effort to secure them from those who are uninformed in financial matters. Their favorite method is to offer stock in wildcat companies stock that is absolutely valueless in exchange for Liberty bonds. Some of these get-rich-quick schemers offer to lend their prospective victims money, wherewith to buy the goldbrick stock, taking Liberty bonds as security. This, of course, is only a thinly disguised attempt to obtain Liberty bonds for . worthless stock. "The United States owns some 5,000,000 acres
of oil lands and 53,000,000 acres of coal lands, the title to which belongs to the Federal Government. Since all owners of Liberty bonds are part owners of this Government, it would be palpably foolish of them to exchange their Liberty bonds for oil or coal stocks of doubtful value. "Before disposing of his bonds, the holder thereof would do well to consult a banker. Such consultation will not prosper the fake stock concerns, but it certainly will prosper the bond holder."
ARMY OF OCCUPATIOr While the infantry of the American army of occupation has been advancing rapidly into German territory to hold it as a guarantee during the armistice period the U. S. artillery forces have been following to back up the boys if the need arises. The gun shown in the photo is one of the American railway artillery 16-caliber type produced by the U. S. ordnance department. It is believed that runs of this type are being taken along by the artillery for use in emergency. The railway artillery in France is manned by the U. S. coast artillery. The ammunition for these monster weapons, which are mounted on steel cars, is carried in a car attached to the rear of the gun car. EXPECT RICHMOND TO EXCEED QUOTA OF WAR WORK FUND Richmond's quota, $51,403, has been raised for the United War Fund Campaign. Subscription cards are still coming in at the campaign headquarters, and appearances were Saturday noon that the City of Richmond would over-subscribe its quota in the last re ports. The county outside of Richmond has not yet gone over. Earlham College subscribed a little over $1,200 to the fund. This sum came from the resident faculty, the day student organization, 27 Seniors. 34 Juniors, 46 Sophomores, and 96 Freshmen, resident students. Over $2,000 was raised by the Victory Boys and Girls in the Richmond schools. , The boys under the leadership of Supt. J. H. Bentley, and the girls under Mrs. E. E. McDivitt secured the following sums: High school boj'3, $1,200; high school girls. $S60; Garfield. Boys, $167.25; Garfield girls. $151; public grade schools, $64.55; St. Andrews, , $48; St. Johns, $24.95; and St. Mary's, ..16.45. COURT FRAUDS EXPOSED SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 23.

Italy to Change Educational Methods For Those of U. S.
(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Nov. 23. Changes ia the public educational system of Italy, based upon methods in vogue in the United States, are one of the indirect possibilities of the war, according to Countess Maria Loschi, envoy of the Italian government to the UnUed States, who is obtaining data in this country regarding betterment legislation in Italy for women and children. "The 500,000 American soldiers who went overseas in the first contingents, I am told, included many boys of German parentage or extraction. Their splendid loyalty and brilliant fightiux was the admiration of all," said the Countess. "Only the principles of democracy taught in the public schools of America could have brought it about and that is why I believe Italy will adopt the American educational idea. "Teachers in Italy are poorly paid and overworked. It is one of the aims of the suffragists of Italy to improve their condition. "The war has given an impetus to education in Italy. Every young person is more than ever desirous of learning new things. In the hospital Q-34, between Palmanova and Cormons, near Gorizia, where I served for a time as a nurse, educated yousg women taught illiterate young soldiers during their convalescence how to read and write. The government has supplied the nurses with millions of primary school textbooks. "The American Red Cross and tha Young Men's Christian association have done inestimable good in Italy. They have dealt bountifully with our impoverished people in giving tnem food, clothing and shoes. I am hopeful they will introduce the idea of t he American public playground in Italy, also public baths and dormitorina such as you have here. It is for improvements such as these that the women of Italy, if ever they are enfranchised, can be depended upon to secure for the people. "In Rome we have the Lyceum, a great woman's club, where under the stimulus of war needs, hundreds of women of such types as Madames Orlando and Nitti, the wives, respectively of the Premier and the Minister of the treasury, gather to discuss music, charity, art, literature and economics, j Both are suffragists and you may e sure their famous husbands are too. Next month in Florence will be hld the big suffrage conference at which many vital reforms will be discussed. "Premier Orlando at one time wa? opposed to suffrage but since the xev he is reported to have said: 'The war has revealed that the women of Italy deserve the trust and friendship of men.' Furthermore, the premier declared that 'the conscience of Ita'ian women is so near to the National conscience, they should have the same political rights as men.' This is almost a warranty that in future our women will be protected and helped and many bills are being drafted for presentation to the Chamber of Deputies. "It is a fact that women in all cases are not receiving the same pay as men in munition factories and on farms. We purpose enacting laws that will protcrt them from exploita War Increased Use and Production of Rice (By Associated Press) DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 23. The war resulted in increased production and increased consumption of rice in Texas during the last year. An extensive campaign in the south for greater acreage, and for use of rice as a substitute for wheat was largely responsible. Big producers in Texas, where 3,000,000 sacks of rough rice is grown annually,, believe that the war has taught housewives the value of rice as food and that the increase in consumption will continue. It is estimated that thirty-eight per cent, of the country's annual production of rice is grown on the 300,000 acres under cultivation in Texas. The product of the large rice mills in southern Texas, where extensive crops have been put in, is valued at $6,000,000, producers say.

tion by selfish employers. "Every Italian loves President Wilson. We regard him as the greatest statesman in the world. We all hope that, when the war is over, he may be able to come to Europe and receive the homage of millions of grateful hearts." Before returning to Italy, the Countess said she expected to visit and speak before women's clubs in Washington, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and other cities. Her itinerary will cover a period of six weeks. CHOSEN TO HEAD . NATIONAL MUSEUM William De C. RaveneL William De C.

King George and Queen Mary with their court have returned to London to a cold, fireless Buckingham Palace. Owing to the coal shortage and to the fact that the country will soon be on its winter's rations, the King had coal in all the royal palaces to a strict minimum well within legal rationing. Almost evtry fire-place in the Palace, in none of which fires had been lighted, have had bricks placed in them to "reduce the consumption of coal. Lighting of passages, coridors, anterooms and the private apartments of .the King and familiy has been reduced by half. Hans Thank Son of Benefactor with Death (By Associated Press) AMSTERDAM. Nov. 23 Forty-five years ago, Evert Bakker, a Dutch fisherman of the island of Urk, was given a gold medal by the German government for heroically saving, at the risk of his ovn life, twelve, Germans from a stranded ship at Norderney in a December gale.

"And when does the wedding take place, Miss Blank?" asked the genial proprietor of the little stationery shop. "The wedding!" exclaimed the young woman, blushing. "Why, you don't think : " "Ah, Miss Blank!" rejoined tae old bookseller. "When a young lady buys a hundred sheets of paper and only twenty-five envelopes I know there's something in the wind." Her second husband had been buried during the afternoon, and as the dewy shades of evening were gathering over the landscape she sat by ths opea window waiting and watching the shadows deepen into night. "What are you watching?" asked a sympathetic neighbor. "I am waiting" said the weeping widow, "for the cats to begin fighting in the back yard. This thing of going to sleep without a quarrel is so new, so unusual, it is too hard to bear. Leave me alone with my grief to gaze on the ever-changing wonders of the starlit skies, and when the cats begin I'll doze off gently." Negro troops from Louisana have a inguistic advantage over other American soldiers. Many of them, through living in sections where French still is "spoken, are more or less familiar with the language of this land when they get here. But they have their difficulties, nevertheless. "It's dis way," explains one. "Ah talk French puhfectly, but not de kind dey talk in dis country. You sec. Ah learned French from mah fathah d3 pure, classical, ole New Orleans French and dey don't speak dat kind ovah heah." HOHENZOLLERN ILL AT DUTCH RETREAT (By Associated Press) LONDON, Nov. 22.

to learn to speak French so our French visitors can understand a word here and there. Nat Goodwin was marooned In Kansas City during the epidemic. All the marriageable young ladies were kept closely at home by their parents, however, and, so far as has been reported, there was no casualty list.
