Women Camp Followers

One of the problems that troubled Ma
poleon in undertaking this vigorous cam
paign was to free his army from the
handicap of large following of women.
The French are at once martial and a
domestic people, and they are prone to
mix the two qualities in war time.
Notwithstanding the precautions taker
to detain the women camp followers in
Italy, Napoleon found that many had
smuggled themselves into his column
He issued an order, therefore, that all OF
them be chased out of the ranks and
sent under guard two marches in the
rear and that any woman still remain

Hessian fly is doing considerable dam
age to the wheat crop in the eastern
half of the state, is the report made
by experts sent out recently by the
Kansas State Agricultural college. Gen.
orally speaking, the western half OF
the state has not been infested by the
pests.
Professor George A. Dean of the en-
tomology department Of the college
says that it is necessary that the
farmers Of the eastern half of the
state employ methods to fight the fly,
or the damage will be much greater
next season. He also calls attention
Of the farmers in the west-central
part of the state that they had bet

combat the evil possible, in order
to prevent 1t spreading several coun-

There is nothing to be done to pre-
vent the fly doing damage this year,
Professor Dean says. In fact, most
OF this years damage has already been
inflicted. The amount of the damage
will not be known until a few days Of
harvest, however.
It Is for the purpose of aiding the
Kansas farmer in getting rid of the
