Secretary Mohler of the Kansas de-
partment of agriculture states that
this has been a good year in Kansas
for county fairs, the interest in them
as shown by the attendance being
much greater than usual. And this is
only contributory evidence that the
Kansas farmers are up and doing and
taking advantage of all their oppor-
tunities to improve their methods.

The Battle of the Marine that saved
Paris was fought a full year ago and
nothing much has been done by the
Allies in the western arena of the war
since then. Probably they had next
spring in mind for the great drive
that they were going to launch against
the Germans with such success.

Am Exnensiye Night.

Mr.. Piety Hill entered the sleeping
room safely with his shoes in his
dark, but his elaborate precaution
was all in vain. A voice from the
bed:
What time is it?''
= weller" faltered Mr.. Piety Hill
as he pulled the little brass dudangle
on the chandelier, which flooded the
room with light and disclosed a very
wide-awake wife, ''well-er-I think
it must be about midnight"
Just then the city hall clock bell
rang once, and then it rang again,
and, after pausing for a heart-break-
ing period, it struck a third time.
Then it stopped. There is nothing
more pestiferous than a town clock.
1t IS always butting in at the unpsy-
Geological moment and spelling a good

ped Mrs. Piety Hill. It's o'clock
That's what it is. Where have you

gregation of bandits and night

once

Yes, m dear
well, out with it. How much did
you lose ?''
A fiendish and diabolical scheme
flashed across the rather bewildered
to his wife. Bracing himself per-
ceptibly and assuming a jocular tone
he murmured carelessly: ''Oh, 1
didn't lose. 1 won-I won $42." He
said S42, for that was the exact
amount that he had lost and he was
NOT aXnaTt ready liar.
That's very good. You hand it
over to me. It's just what I want for
my new hat And he did.

he thought as he rolled into bed

WHY so CnnI.

One of the causes, and no doubt
the chief cause, of the traordinary
cool weather of the passing summer
is the evaporation resulting from the
frequent rains. Evaporation reduces
heat. Artificial ice is frozen by arti-
fetal means of producing very rapid
evaporation. Sprinkled streets and
yards in seasons of excessive heat re-
duce the temperature by causing
evaporation. The hot winds that blow
up from the south in very hot sea-
sons are but the air from off dry
plains on which there was no mois-
ture for evaporation that would have
tempered the air. And the general
rains of this season have provided
moisture for continued evaporation,
and the summer has oeen unusually
cool The time will come when the
United States government will pro-
vide for general system of conser-
walton of the water that falls upon
the western plains, by storing it in
numerous ponds and lakes. With such
provision evaporation from these
ponds and lakes will prevent such
hot winds as visit this region on very
dry years.-Douglass Tribune.

CONCERNS. MAKING MUNITIONS
OF WAR FACE STRIKE
Two thousand machinists and tool
makers employed by five Chicago
firms manufacturing war munitions
are ready to strike for higher wages
and shorter hours. -
The firms affected would be the
Illinois Tool Works, the ManUfac-
turers' Equipment Co., SmuTr &
Kaen, Hannifn Mfg. Co. and Atwood
Bell.
None of these shops are working
under union agreements. They are
working "a hours a week and paying
machinists 80 to 35 cents an hour in
stead of the union scale of 4312 cents
and tool and die makers SO cents an
hour instead of the union scale of
1872 cents.
The men are asking for the right
to organize and the installation of
the same scale and working hours
that are paid in Chicago shops which
work under a union agreement.
The Chicago Machinists' District
Council has asked the international
body to sanction the strike of these
machinists, and favorable word is
mOmentarily expected.
Labor leaders say there can be no
violence or trouble in case of a strike,
for, they say, war orders are so great
that every machinist in the country
already is employed, so there will be
no strikebTeakers to be had.
The SmUrr & Kaen firm is making
machines to manufacture cannon
shells, the other firms are making
machines to manufacture bullets and
small munitions.
The firms are getting big prices
and are swamped with orders.
Since war orders became plentiful
12O Chicago district shops have been

COAL MINERS AGAIN
THREATEN TO STRIKE


Cardiff, Aug. 25.-For the second
time within few weeks Great Brit
ain is threatened with a strike of 2OO,-
600 South Wales coal miners, a walk
out that would cripple the production
of war munitions and tie up a large
portion of the British shipping.
One thousand miners in the Hafod
district quit work today in protest
against the arbitration award made
by President Walter RUnciman of the
government boar dof trade. The min
ers made the charge that the agree
ment they entered into through Min
lister Of Munitions Lloyd George has
not bee kept and that the government
has attempted to play them into the
hands of the mine owners.
The executive committee of the
miners federation has refused to ac-
cept the award and has. appointed a
committee to interview Lloyd George
whose intercessiOn ended the strike
several weeks ago.
