. Probably there are not so many
folk in these parts who will put much
stock or hope in the predictions of
the weather bureau that considerably
cooler weather may come along to-
wards the close of the week. The
weather bureaus forecast for Mon
day and issued Monday morning was
for "fair and warmer" weather, and
before the day was done there was a
pretty good rainfall and the temper
allure dropped "a degrees.

There must be limit to everything.
The point is always eventually
reached where the last straw will
break the camers back.
But just when the time will come
when the belligerent nations of Eu-
rope, or some of them, will reach the
end of their financial resources is APP
parently as problematical as it was
the day the great European war be-
gan.
At that time, those who might
have been supposed to be qualified as
world financial experts were free with
their predictions that the war would
of necessity be a comparatively short
one, of a few months or not more
than a years duration, and because
of the financial considerations in
volved.
However, the war will soon be start
ing on it's third year.
And the enormous, the almost un-
imaginable supplies of money that are
needed TO conduct it keep flowing I'M
interruptedly from the Golfers of the
warning nations without any signs of
diminution.
England's chancellor of the ex-
chequer reports that Great Britain's
share of the cost of the war is now
$40, 900 day, a truly astounding
figure.
Suppose the big pushes and drives
that the Entente Allies are now stag
ing fall far short of the goals at which
they are directed.
Is 1t possible that the money will
going throughout another winter, and
while the Allies are rehabilitating
their forces and making ready to take
advantage of the months OF next
spring and summer to press on for
the victory they say they will not be
content until they win. and which
may be denied them this year before
winter sets in again and stops the
hostilities on their present major
scale7
1t does not seem so.
But the question is evidently one
that time alone can answer.
Then, too, a feeling seems to be
abroad all over Europe that If the AL
lies are not successful in their pres
ent campaigns. the war is likely to
come to an ending, anyhow. and when
the approaching winter sets in.
The premise of this argument is
that both sides to the war will have
reached the conclusion by that time
that neither can win by force of arms
and that the only thing that they can
do is to arrange some sort of peace
terms.
And this may be the denouement.
But if 1t is, the titanic struggle
waged so long and fiercely without
anything like a decisive victory having
been attained by either side, will have
been in vain.
On the conclusion of such terms OF
peace as might be arranged, the ma.
lions of Europe would be almost Ger.
tain to begin to set their military and
naval houses in order for the pri
mary purposes of protecting the right.
that the peace terms had given them
and when a few years had elapsed
everything would be ripe in Europe
for another great war. and 1t probabl.
wouldn't take much of spark to Sc
it going.

Uncle Abner.
When 1 see a Teller with a feather
in his hat realize that nature makes
a mistake once in while and gets
the sexes mixed.
There amt much use in spending
good money travelling after Teller

1t doesn't make much difference
how much money Teller has got.

man doesn't have to live to be $50
years old to find that out, either.

Household Hints
Calls Head.

Calls Head.
Take half a calfs head and stew
hind knuckle of veal in three pints OF
water as for eating. Season with a
carrot, a turnip, two onions, blade
of mace, a bunch of parsley and hair
a parsnip. When ready remove the
meat, strain the liquor and when
nearly cold put in the half head, which
has been we'll blanched. Set 1t to
simmer until nearly done. Take 1t up
and remove all bones and cut the
meat into square bits.

Here's a little consolation which
also tends to show that no matter
how undesirable this or that condi-
ton may be, it might be worse. At
this period of the year in Kansas and
thirty years ago. the temperatures
frolicked around 104 in the shade.

ribs of your umbrella breaking If you

sorb any superfluous oil.
