changes do you foresee in Europe as

"Of course there will be very little

] hope that among the results Of this
cash shortage will be n general de-
crease OF military expenditure. Surely
that would be worth while. But I must
make perfectly clear the belief that IL
1t occurs 1t will be brought about by
that reaso only. I do not think any
higher easons will cause any halt In

be obliged to admit this. but It is my
firm conviction
Then humanity. even through this

Perhaps the most important lesson
to be learned from the war lies In the
powerlessness OF Germany to do what
she brutally proposed to do and thor
oughly believed she could do-overrun
and conquer Europe with her war ma
chine. almost without serious Interrupt
tion," NJ. Glide declared.
1T occurs to me-" he went on, that
even the most aggressive thinkers Of
the future may consider this and stop

culations favorable to future warfare.
A final outcome which wodld o be a
complete victory would be as notably
efficient in teaching this lesson as a
complete defeat would be.
IF a machine fails to do that for
which 1t was constructed 1t fails. 1t
may be that tho German people will
realize that a machine to do what they
had in mind cannot be built. Then
they will understand the powerlessness
OF militarism.
III they once understand that an
immense service will have been rem

that II ever peace is to lie established
In this word II will have to be because

on this subject will mako reasonably
clear q different aspect Of French
thought and one which probably will
prevail.
In every detail Of her procedure

amazed the world. Germany expected
to march through French defences as

England. Frances ally. expected Paris
to fall before advancing Teuton hosts.

could avoid defeat.

KANSAS STATE FAIR

The State Fair at Hutchinson
is conducted by the State Board
of Agriculture and the grounds
are owned by the state, the same
as any of the other public insti-
buttons. The State Fair will be
held from September 10Th to
23rd, inclusive. Its purpose is
education and entertainment. 1t
is one of the newer public insti-
buttons of Kansas, but is found
ed on the good will and the rep
utation of the fair that had been
held in Hutchinson for fourteen
years. All the money that had
been made by the old association
was put in grounds, buildings
and equipment, which the state
secured under provisions of the
State Fair act. In other words
the people have builded and
made the Kansas State Fair a
success. 1t is now the people S
institution the same as the State
Normal, State Agricultural Col
lege or State University. AS
such institution the people of the
state are interested in it's up
building.
Kansas is entitled to as great
a State Fair equipment and all
considered as any of the other
great agricultural states. Prac-
tically every state in the union
now not only has a State Agri-
cultural College but also a State
Fair where people can learn
more, considering the cost in
time and money, than in any
other way. 1t is especially adj
apted for children and younger
people of impressionable age, be-
cause of the ideals they get from
the models they see in the form
Of exhibits. They see that which
touches the interests of practic-
ally every individual in the state,
whether it is something adorn-
ing the home, for use in the
fields, or representative of the
breeders art. There is enter
tainment galore and something
doing all the time, day and night.
Everybody is invited to exhibit
and everybody is invited to at
tend. 1t is hoped that each will
make the most of his opportuni-
ty for his business, welfare and
pleasure.

time. Had terrible pains in my kidneys
and back, SO much so that 1 had to
scream sometimes when l was sitting
down and wanted to get up, the pain
was so great. l had tried a w%ell-known
kidney medicine but it didn't help me.
/ heard Of DR.. Pierce's Anuric Tablets
so l thought 1 would try them. 1 took
only one box of the Tablets, and my
back is now free from pain and I can
work and take care of my family. I
feel l cannot say enough for this medi-
cine. Sincerely, Mrs. VIM. KELLER.
