HOW THEY KEEP BOYS ON
THE FARMS IN KANSAS


In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside John Leslie Simpson writes
an article about the cooperation be-
tween parents and sons-particularIy
in Kansas where the importance OF
keeping boys on the farms Is we'll
recognized. Following is an extract
from the article:
"The Kansas farmer sees to It that
the boy has a certain amount of rec
reation and pleasure scattered thru
his days of toll.
"The son of the Kansas farmer Is
trained along financial lines from
childhood up, so when he is ready
to start the serious road of manhood
ad responsibility he doesn't have to
plunge in the water, so to speak,
without knowing how to swim a
stroke.
"a Kansas farmer who had be-
come very well off by his own efforts
trained his boys along these lines.
When the boy was twelve years old
he gave him a pair of colts, the boy
to take care of them, and to help
with the other work to pay for their
feed. When the boy was sixteen the
colts had grown into fine pair OF
work horses. The boy now had some
pigs. calves etc, besides the team,
and took a real interest in the farm
and the work. By the time he was
nineteen years old he had nearly
enough equipment to farm for him
self. He bought another horse with
money he had made working Tor
neighbors. got some tools and sets
of harness, and rented twenty-five
acres of land from neighbor. He
helped with the work at home, and
farmed little for himself. Later he
rented quarter section of land. At
twenty-one he has full set of farm
ing tools, horses etc.,and has landed
squarely on his fet' Next year he
will farm the home place on shares.
Here is a good example of how Kan
sas farmers save their boys"

You have probably heard of tho

nothing to you compared to the ad-

Nothing adds to the attractiveness
of city like adequate street lights,

 Conveys of automobile ambulances from all the Paris hospitals have gone to the front to convey the wounded to hospitals near the firing line. Great precautions are being taken against any wheeled vehicle, including bicycles, from leaving the limits of the intrenched camp of Par is, which includes the departments of Seine and Seine ct Disc. Even pedestrians are examined along the roads near Paris, and French officers are frequently obliged to show their papers, under new instructions, owing to the use of French uniforms by spies.
 The minister of war will not grant any permit to approach within 20 miles of the fighting lines unless it is countersigned by General Joffre. Besides the critical contest in the north, other important operations are going on at other points. One is be- tween the frontier of the east and the Argonnes. This has for it's pur- pose the control of the vicinity of Verdun and the formation there of a base for an offensive movement. The arrival of a French force at Brabant- sur-Meuse, near Consevoye, at the heights of Montfaucon, where the Grown Prince is intrenched, is new element added to the chain of the allies strength in this district

Kitchener is looking far ahead, rath- CT than to the immediate happenings of the war. It may be that the al- lies have all the men on the front that can be effective there, as long as they have determined not to em- ploy the massed tactics of the Ger mans with the resultant terrible loss es. Whatever the plan, however, these 100000 men being held in re- serve in England will become of in- creasing importance and their num- Der will take on more formidable look as the war advances.

BeIfort First; Then Calais.

PARIS, Nov. 21.-The Paris news. papers agree in the opinion that the fighting between Nieuport and La Bassee is the most furious in the worlds history. They assert that Germany is making last effort. and hold that if the allies prevail the vic. tory is likely to be decisive, because in their view, the German semi-raw troops cannot stand the strain of a retrEat like von Kluck's from the Marne. The Temps quotes the Ger man press to demonstrate their lack of confidence. This it contrasts with the Intransigeant's statement:
 We wait confidently the result of this latest test, which is certainly not the severest we have undergone '
 The Temps mentions some new German plans, which it's correspond. ent received from an eminent mili- tary parsonage in Berlin, "who spoke freely, owing to the supposed nation ality of the interlocutor."
 According to this man, they in tend to take Belfort and occupy Ca lais, the former in order to invade France from new point or to con- pei the French, "by the effect of this capture on public opinion" to make a separate peace.
 The latter would then be useful as a point d'appui against England, whom Germany regards as her most dangerous enemy, despising Russia. For England terrible surprises are in store.
 The Temps comments briefly:
 Perhaps surprises are due for the Germans also, even should they take Calais or Belfort.
 Certainly France will never desert her ally, whom the Germans attempt ed at the outset of the war to cajole with equally transparent absurdi- ties"

A WEAPON AGAINST SUBMA-
 RINES.

Anybody who has ever seen the trouble that can be made for a steamship when rope, even though not very long or very large, gets tangled in it's propeller, will won der what happened to the submarine, presumably German, that was report ed in recent dispatches as having run foul of a fishnet off the Dutch court.
 No craft, probably, has a margin of safety" quite as small as does the submarine, and hardly anything can happen to it that does not produce consequences serious or fatal. Now, the nets used in deep-sea fishing are large, strong and heavy, but they do not cost much, as war expenditures go, and the little incident described all too briefly in the cable news seemingly suggests a convenient and effective means of reducing these much-dreaded little assassins to help- lessness.
 With a net once around her or gan of propulsion, a submarine would either remain permanently under wa ter, which would be bad for her crew, or she would have to rise to the surface and remain there for a con. siderable time, within sight of hostile marksmen, and that, too, would be attended with most positive incon. veniences.-Ex

Paris Is Getting Anxious.


 PARIS. Nov. 21.-Paris has lived through another tense day and no decisive news has come of the battle upon which the safety of the capital. and perhaps of France. Is believed to depend. Anxiety has been increas- ing all the week.
 The shops of Paris, which have been doing considerable business since the first of the month. are near ly empty again. The crowds have thickened around the newspaper of. fees discussing in low tones the frag- ments of news posted on the bulletin boards. Every word of the official communication is studied in an en. deavor to determine what has hap pened.
 The crowd is greatest at the head quarters of the military governor of Paris, in the Boulevard des Invalid es, where the official announcements are issued. The people gather also at the Willamette gate, through which runs the main highway toward the north, to see the dispatch bearers arriving in motor cars or on motor cycles. .

NOT YET IN THE FRAY.

It is announced from apparently authentic sources that there are l.. 5O0,0OO men under arms in Great Britain, being whipped into shape by Kitchener for service in the war against Germany. These troops have been described as "the finest body ev. CT assembled under arms" large number being men of outdoor and athletic pursuits. They are the ter. ritorials and the volunteers, recruited from the cream of England's man. hood, and they are being prepared for battle by a supreme organizer. In these 1,500,000 men may be the re-making of the map of Europe.
 The question has been heard from time to time as to why England was keeping all these men at home Why she did not send a couple of hundred thousand to the succor of the Bel gians in Antwerp? Why, in the long battle of the Aisne, were they not rushed to flank von Kluck? Why, now, with the last small corner of Belgium and the channel ports at stake, are they not sent to hurl back the Germans in the desperate assault along the coast? The answer for each question appears to be that Kitchener feels the time has not come. He is planning for long war, in which the fate of Antwerp, of Belgium's last corner, of von Kluck' S flank, and even of the channel ports, is comparatively insignificant. The war, with Kitchener, will hardly have begun before spring. He expects the allied troops in France to hold their own during the winter, while Russia, whose enormous endorsements have scarcely begun to roll up, becomes an ever increasing menace to Germany on the east front.
 Then. with the German army weak ened, as it must be by the terrible fighting that has gone on, perhaps a million fresh men will be launched upon 1t in France. What will happen then, only developments will show but the English have implicit trust in Kitchener.
 It Is quite probable that the great British soldier thinks too much of the German machine to pit against it mer of hasty training. He intends tha the territorials and the volunteers shall be regulars in fact before they go to France. A striking example O. this was his sending of the Canadian troops, which had gone through { considerable seasoning at home, int the camps with the other volunteer in England instead of rushing then to the firing line. Even the veteran Hindu soldiers were kept inactive il southern France for weeks after the, landed, to make certain that they hat become acclimated and were in thu best possible condition after theil long journey by transport.
