UNION (HO LABEL INDE Independence, Kansas, Sept. 25, 1918 THE OCCUPATION OF NAZARETH. Nazareth is in Christian hands. The announcement yesterday that General Allenby's forces had occupied the home of the Prince of Peace thrilled all Christendom, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

It is not that Nazareth has any military significance. On the map of military strategy it means, perhaps, 110 more than many other names that are unfamiliar to us. But the little town in the Galilean hills has a place in the hearts of humanity second to 110 shrine on earth, unless it be Bethlehem, and there is SO much of the spiritual in this war, as it is being fought by us and our associates, it is SO much of a crusade for the preservation and extension of the principles that Jesus Christ preached and represented in his son, that the occupation of Nazareth by the British troops has a meaning not possible to define in the terms of military strategy. It is true enough that the great sweep of these forces over the sacred soil of Palestine, the advance of sixty miles in three days, and the utter rout of the Turkish army, is in its totality an event of great importance from its material side, for it indicates the approaching collapse of Turkish power in Syria and the serious weakening of Turkish resistance east as well as west of the Dardanelles. There can be little doubt of its effect upon the Turkish attitude toward the German alliance, a bargain which the Turks have already learned can be profitable to Germany only.

But Nazareth means more than this to. Christianity and to civilization. It is the symbol of the larger achievements that are now on the way, achievements not restricted by g90- graphical boundaries, nor measurable by latitude and longitude. The purpose of this war is not geographical. It does not seek, on our part, to extend physical limitations by conquest.

la It does not seek to lay the hand of power upon subjected peoples for political or commercial aggrandizement. Its aim is to rid the world of the forces that create war for such ends. Its aim is to make it possible for all men to be free or to become so. Its aim is to give peace to mankind, and not only to give peace, but to make it exceedingly difficult for any man or any nation to destroy that peace. It was the man of Nazareth who made these aims conceivable, and we may see the sign of their consummation in the occupation of the place where these ideals of right and righteousness flowered with him.

030664 SAVE THE FRUIT STONES Peach and- Prune Pits and Nut Shells Are Needed for Army. USED IN MAKING MASKS Gen. Pershing Requested People Help This Way---Barrel at McFalls' Dry Goods Store. Chicago, Sept. prune pit and peach stone drive for greater supplies of gas masks as requested by General Pershing is making splendid headway in the central west, according to officials of the Red Cress here.

It is declared that 500,000 tons of fruit stones, nut shells and seeds are needed each month to make charcoal for soldiers 'gas masks. Only about 50,000 tons were obtained before the drive opened. Along State street there are red, white and blue barrels into which are being placed large quantities of pits and shells daily. A BARREL HERE, TOO. The peach barrel in front of C.

L. McFalls 'dry goods store is doing good work in the collection of fruit stones. about three inches of stones were contributed to the barrel. The women seem to be the most generous contributors. The school children drop in several stones as they pass to land from school.

Mr. McFalls is co-operating with the nation-wide movement in gathering up these fruit pits. In Chicago the biggest dry goods store is gathering. them up. The same is true in nearly all western cities.

It is a little thing to do and something that you can do so easily, to drop prune and peach pits into this barrel. THIRD STREET OPEN NEW DRIVE TO RIVERSIDE PARK READY FOR TRAFFIC. Paving Completed Under Santa Fe Track--New Residence Section' in Prospect as a Result. North Third street under the SanIta Fe tracks was opened to trafic yesterday afternoon and as soon as it became generally known, hundreds of cars were driven out to see the new street. It is certainly one of the most beau(tiful drives in southern Kansas and standing on the hill on East Main and looking north, Third street looks like la veritable boulevard.

Many new lots are now made highly desirable for building purposes, and the completion of the paving with the opening of the street will work wonders in the northeast corner of the city. The opening of this street and the paving forms one of the most wonderful improvements made in Independence. And it anyone had any doubt at any time whether the street to be opened should be Third or Fifth, the completion of the Third street work certainly demonstrates that the right street was opened. Nearly all of the work is completed on the north end of Third street, the only remaining work to be done is to finish Oak street where the paving crosses the tracks of the Union Traction company. If you have not driven over North -Third street, do so this evening and you will be amazed at what has been.

accomplished in this latest civic IS OPEN TO ALL. Program at Masonic Hall, Monday Night, Is for the Public. The Reporter was in error in saying that the meeting at the Masonic hall next Monday night is for Master only. It is open for the general public and everyone is cordially invited to attend. The purpose of the meeting is to dedicate the new service flag which has nearly fifty stars in honor of the boys who have gone to war and who belong to the lodge.

Judge G. H. Lamb of Yates Center, will be the chief orator, and as he is an unusually good speaker he will be well worth hearing. lodge is making many plans for this meeting and hopes that the public will turh out that evening. OIL STOCKS.

Some very amusing things are being told at Deering by Sergeant John Hertwick of that place. He is just home from France and he spoke at a church there Sunday night. While Sergeant Hertwick did not claim to be an orator, he, nevertheless, made a very interesting talk, and answered questions about various things which the Deering people wanted to know. When asked 'about the amount of sugar the boys in France get, he said that the people of the United States get more sugar than the boys there did. He said they got 110 sugar at all, only what the cook put in, and nothing was served too sweet.

He said he did not like the French girls, because they wore wooden shoes. He said that the United States army furnishes two kinds of hats over' there. One is made by John B. Stetson, and the' other by the John Deere Plow com- KANSAS TRUCK An HEAVY OIL, FIELD 4 HAULING A SPECIALTY ANYTHING ANYWHERE ANYTIME We Solicit Your Patronage PHONES Office, 1700 Res. 422-1754 612 pany.

Here is the long, lean, lanky Yank, of one of the American fighting men in France, costs the proceeds of forty-one "It's against all precedent. It's simply not done, you know." An American and an Allied officer crouched behind a precarious shelter near Bois de Belleau during a short bombardment preparatory to an attack. It was the man experienced in years of trench warfare who made the remark. The American laughed. "These fellows will break something else beside precedent before they are through.

It may not 'be but look, they are doing it!" Several platoon waves of long, lean, lanky Yanks had emerged from shelter and were advancing in a typically American style. There was no barrage, no slow, methodical walk behind artillery protection, which has long been the proper thing on the Front. They dashed forward, took cover, dashed forward again in short, rushing charges, cheerfully wiped out 8, few impeding machine gun nests and mopped up EL sector of Hun the most typical picture yet published action.

It costs forty-one $50 bonds to put one of these long, lean fighting boys on the front. His living expenses will have cost nine bonds and his personal equipment, six. It takes thirteen $50 bonds to buy his service equipment. His pay up to the time he is trained and in the fighting takes the proceeds of another nine. His housing and final transportation to France takes four bonds more We must have millions more of him.

Every advantage in numbers means a quicker, less costly finish to the war, and it is a proud American who can say that he has a representative, equipped and trained with his money, "breaking precedents" somewhere in France.
