IRRESPONSIBLE GOSSIP MANY WILD AND GROUNDLESS STORIES NOW BEING CIRCULATED Affecting the Loyalty of German Residents--No Disloyalty Is Apparent "Have you heard how tore down the flag, and how he was called down by Secret Service is one of the irresponsible stories has been circulated in Lawrence during the past few days. It is true that there are living in Lawrence a large number of Germans, of whom were born in Germany and many who have relatives fighting in the great war, btu it is also true that these men are loyal American citizens and will do their part. John Fritzell was born in Germany and has two brothers and a sister there now, whose children are in the war, but Fritzell's youngest son is ready to enlist for Uncle Sam, if he has not already done so. One of the business men, against whom one of these wild stories were told, was one of the signers to the recent oath taken by the Rotarians and wired to President Wilson and the Kansas delegation.

He is for Uncle Sam whole-heartedly. Another family of which it was reported that no United States flags would be permitted to be flown, has had the flag out for several days, the good old mother taking the matter in hand, at home, although she is of German birth, while the flag has also been floating over their place of business. It is true that many of these Germans love their native country, but they love the United States better, or they wouldn't have made their homes here. Between Germany and any other country than this, they are for Germany, but between Germany and the United States, they stand for America. ROB LINWOOD STORE MEN CHASED AWAY BEFORE JOB WAS COMPLETED TWO! Store Owner Retrieved a Coat and Some Burglar Tools Dropped In Flight men who undertook to rob the store of C.

M. Harbaugh at Linwood early yesterday evening were chased away just as they were getting a good start on their job. They left by the back door as Mr. Harbaugh opened the front door, and in their haste left behind a coat, a glass cutter, a wrench and a knife which apparently they used to gain admission to the place. The burglars took with them one coat from the store stock, about $1 in money, supply of chewing gum.

burglary was attempted about 8:45 o'clock. Mr. Harbaugh thinks the men were the who visited his store about six months ago and stole about $90 worth of goods. The former robbery was accomplished about the same time of the evening. Mr.

Harbaugh came to Lawrence this a afternoon to describe to the police the coat that had been taken and to leave such description of the two men as was able to gain 1 in the brief time he saw them.

WINEY SONS END OF ACTIVE LIFE OMAR H. AYER PROMINENT IN LOCAL AFFAIRS Defended State From Price's Raiders -Was a Leader in Horticultural Progress In the death of Omar H. Ayer on April 4th, Douglas county, lost another of her early and most substantial citizens. Mr. Ayer was born December.

22d, 1825, in Clinton county, New. York, where he grew to manhood. He was the oldest of a family of three sons and two daughters. Mar. 7, 1852, he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Ayer of Buffalo, New York.

To them eight children were born. A baby girl died in infancy and their little boy, Charlie, aged five years, died soon after they came to Kansas. They lived at Plattsburg, New York, until they started west. They stopped one winter at Williamsville, New York, while Mr. Ayer made his first trip to Kansas in the fall of 1863.

3. In April, 1864, with the family of four small children they moved to Lawrence locating on a farm six miles south of town where Mr. Ayer has lived continuously these fiftythree years. At the time of Price's raid, in the fall of '64 he joined the militia and went to the eastern border to help protect the state. He went through the stirring times of the early settlers in a new country and saw the state grow and develop.

He was interested not only in the cultivation and improvement of his farm and home, but was public spirited and always took an active part in all affairs and activities that were for the good of the community. Mr. Ayer was enthusiastic, member of the Horticultural and when in the seventies the society decided to put out trees at the University, he gave liberally of his and time, and set out many of the trees now on the University Campus. It WaS only about ten days ago he gave fifteen young evergreen trees taken from his farm, to be planted around the Fairview Church. Aside from the regular farm work the raising of fruit trees and bees ocmuch of his attention.

He originated several varieties of pearsthe Douglas, Ayer, and others. The government was so favorably impressed with the good qualities of these pears that it recommended them to the public in the government year books. Each year he put out new kinds. His interest did not lessen with the years as he said a few years ago when he put out some pecans and English Walnut trees, "I will not be here but some one will enjoy them." He never lost interest in his bees and was authority or. Bee Culture.

Up to last fall he cared for his one hundred hives. Mr. Ayer was well read on many subjects and interested in all national issues, with which he kept closely in touch by daily reading the papers and magazines. Accounts of scientific investigations, researches, new improvements always held his During the last few years of Mr. Ayer's life, when his health was failing and he had to give up some of life's activities he still took an active interest in all about him, and reading was a favorite pastime.

March 7th, 1902, Mr. and Mrs. Ayer celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary. Two years later, March 1st, 1904, Mrs. Ayer passed away after fifty-two years of love and devotion to each other.

In the early days, when many of the Eastern people were coming West, fifteen relatives of both Mr. and Mrs. Ayer's families including their parents, brothers and sisters came from New York and located here and in Nebraska. Of this number Mr. O.

H. Ayer is the last to go. He was always a loyal Kansan, but was deeply interested in his native State and made several trips back to his old home. It was a long full life that passed on last Wednesday. How long and full it is hard to realize until one analyzes the events and conditions with which his life was connected.

Mr. Ayer's character was simple, sincere, honest and straight-forward-a singular devotion to his own loved ones, SOLE ABE WOLFSON AGENCY BEACON The Shoe that Satisfies UNION MADE MEN'S to 5699 A BOYS Made Shag Ca.
