THE WAR MIND

The infinite chasm which separates the think ing of men and women in the peace-blest countries such America from the thinking Of the people who night and day are never able to escape from the thought of the great conflict is described yyidy by Chicago newspaperman now in London.
 The war mind is the only mind which expresses itself in the tragedy-cursed nations To endure all and to inict all. that is the of existence In the words Of this American correspondent:
 q cannot tell you the utter disgust with which newspaper (American) speak of the unwillingness Of America tO listen to anything but the highly pictorial about this It is to them it folks dancing a board floor fiery pit would be willing tO listen to anyone who told them the fire underneath"
 Although the war mind is sobering. 1t is also inevitably obsessing. Quoting again: There is no real sense justice fairness or other mindedness left in the population as a whole. Kill. kill hurry up and kill runs like sing-song through every thing

RUssIA,s wHEAT NEEDED
Seattle Post.Intelligencer)

The American shortage of wheat the current year is having some effect in stimulating the efforts of the Allied armies in opening way for Russian wheat stores to reach the world markets. Great Bri- tain and France have been drawing heavily upon Canadian and American supplies and the present un- favorable crop points to the need of Russian supplies.
 Canadian reports indicate large shrinkage in wheat yields below the encouraging estimates of July The Montreal Mail and Empire states that the surplus of wheat for export will be 15OOOOOOO bushels short of the quantity available in 1915-1916 The great Western wheatraisng provinces will average little better than twelve to fourteen bushels to the acre. and their total crop Is not expected to exceed 175- 100000 bushels the shrnkage being caused largely by the extreme heat and drought of August The de- creased yield of the United States and Canada below that of last year. will probably exceed 4OOOOOOOO bushels.
 push through Bulgaria for the opening of a path for Russian stores of wheat beyond the Danube. Russia has two haryests for export, once the is open and the availability of these great supplies will have some depressing effect on the price in the worlds markets. American wheat growers will hope that the Bulgarian campaign be not hastened until their present surplus has been marketed

TWO PICTURES ON ONE FILM.
Agile student Invents Device to Make
Double Exposure

Manhattan, Kan, June PA cam
era device for film cameras enaphng
one to take two pictures on a single
film has been invented by Waldo f.
Hoppe, a junior in animal husoandry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege.
The device is simple in its makeup
and can be readily attached to the
ordinary camera using film pack or
roll films. for which it has been ex-
pressIy designed BY means OF TINS
device, the operator can take two ex-
posures on a single film, each picture
being half the size of the film
The operator has his choice or
full size picture, or smaller, half size
picture of an object, or of two pictures
of the same object on single fllrn
The invention also covers the taking
of more than two pictures on the
same film The value of this device
to the owner of a camera is recog-
nized at once by those who have seen
it's many advantages, and by them it
is praised highly
