TAKE
run Ttis Woman's Tonic
Saliha Aug. 13. Kansas is facing
one of the most serious situations in
its history is the belief of the men
who are here today for the meeting of
the executive committee of the State
Live Stock association. The situa-
ion that the Kansas farmers are fac
ing is the government's call for an
increased food production the coming
year while taking all of the trained
help from the farms by selective
draft.
While discussing what action
should be taken in the present crisis
ex-Governor W R Stubbs, president
of the association, said, "I think It 1
i sin to take the farm laborers into
he army and leave the drug store
idler and the cigarette smoker to con
tinue his useless occupation."
Another problem that is facing tho
merican people is the present food
shortage. M. M. Sherman, a well
known rancher in this section of the
county said, "We are shorter of food
rupplles today than we were at the
close of the Civil war."
Much discussion was given to the
recently passed food control bill.
While no severe objections wera rais
ed against the bill, many . Inquiries
were made regarding the absence of
copper, steel, and cotton from the
bill.
As the time remaining Is negligi
ble for action of any sort to save farm
labor from the draft it was decided to
have the president appoint a com
mittee which will leave for Washing
ton early this week to lay the prob
lem before President Wilson.
Washington, Aug. 13. The food
administration announced today Its
plan for controlling wheat, flour and
tread, revealing that the government
lc. prepared to take over the whole
1917 wheat harvest if necessary to
conserve tho supply, obtain Just pric
es for America's fighting forces and
their allies and reduce costs to the
general public In the United States.
Establishing of buying agencies at
all the principal terminals, licensing
of elevators and mills, fixing of a
price to be considered fair, regulation
of the middleman and of grain ex
changes, with the elimination of trad
ing in futures, are the chief features
of the plan. The licensing will begin
September 1.
The minimum price of $2 for wheat
fixed by congress does not become
effective until next year, but the ad
ministration proposes to exercise a
very thoro control over this year's
crop thru powers conferred under the
food and export control bill.
MEN' AT RII.EV PERFORM
LAST DUTY ASSIGNMENT
Ft. Riley, Aug. 13. The last duty
assignment of the men of the reserve
officers' training camp at Fort Riley
is to be one they never will be called
upon to perform in war time. To
morrow, according to orders issued
at the post, they will fill up the
trenches which they have dug behind
their bairacks and on the reservation.
Recently these trenches have been the
pcene of many a hard fought sham
battle, but by tomorrow night they
will be obliterated, and not by enemy
rhell fire, either

Topeka,- Aug. 13. The food and
fuel control bill having been enacted
by congress, Governor Capper is to
take vigorous steps to see if relief
cannot be secured for Kansas coal
consumers. Kansas has been doing
her full part in the matter of food
production and is prepared to go
even further next year in producing
wheat to help supply the world, and
Kansas now wants benefits In the
way of lower coal prices If there is
any way in which such results can be
brought about.

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 13 Anoth
er German submarine has been sunk

gunnerd of a British freighter, which
arrived here today, are correct in
their assumption that three shots

Brest, France, sent her to the bottom-
Petrograd, Aug. 13. A Russo-Ru
ma n la n retirement to the villages of
Marasechti and Furtzeni, on the Ser-
tth river, is reported. In counter at
tacks preceding their, retreat the
Russians and Rumanians took 1,200
German prinoners. Berlin says that
Von Mackensen's troops withstood
strong attacks and captured more
than 6,700 prisoners as well as eigh
teen cannon and sixty-one machine

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 13. The
conference attempting to settle the
street car strike here, in session
since 4 o'clock in the afternoon, ad
journed at midnight with no agree
ment reached- The company, before
adjourning, proposed that a griev
ance committee composed of a com
pany member, a member of the men
and a third member to be selected by
both, should be formed; that all men
who left the company's employ on or
after August 7 and all discharged
after August 1, should be reinstated.
It appears that while the company's
representatives submitted to the de
mands of citizens and allowed the
strikebreakers to be removed from
the clty'they are preparing for much
stronger forces to operate their cars
and protect their property.
