Divisional Maneuvers Planned.

Badger troops may take part in big
now believed. 1t is thought that this
certainly win be the program if the
Badger soldiers are not sent to the
border for actual patrol duty. There
is a belief among the officers that the
Wisconsin brigade will either be sent
to the border or will go home some
time next month. 1t is believed that if
they are sent home the divisional
maneuver will take place before they
leave for the North. If this is held a
division of infantry. consisting of three
brigades of three regiments each, aug
mented by artillery. cavalry, engineers,
signal corps and field hospitals will. t
is believed. march so miles TO Austin.
Tex, the march being made in about
five days. Officers believe Major Cen
eral PIummer will be in command.
This big maneuver would be regard
ed as a fitting climax TO the training
which the state troops have received.
There is a feeling among the officers
and men Lhat one great object of the
mobilization of the guard on the bor-
der has already been accomplished
That is the training and equipping
of the National Guardsmen. The ex-
perience they have had will prove in
viauable should they ever be called
out again, for they will be able to
adapt themselves to campaign condi
tons in short time and in a military
manner. They now know what they
must do and how it must be done,
which was not the case with the ma
jority when the mobilization came. Ev
cry soldier is now equipped, not only
with perfect arms, but with winter
and summer clothing and an other
equipment. Furthermore, each regi-
men< is supplied with horses and
mules and the men have learned how
to break them and handle them when
they are broken. This alone will mean
a big saving of time should the men
be called out again.

Gather the corn in the cool of the
morning. After removing the husks
put the ears In a kettle of boiling wa
ter well sailed and cook until tender.
This will take ten or fifteen minutes.
Take from the water. Cut the corn
from the cob, scraping the cob thor
oughly to get the heart of the kernel.
Spread on platters or granite pans
and cover with fine netting and put In
the sun. at night bring it into the
house. Repeat the process until the
corn is thoroughly dried. Tie 1t in
sacks of loosely woven material, like
cheese cloth and hang in a cool, dry,
cry place. Should cloudy weather
interrupt the sun drying the corn may
be dried in a moderate oven with the
door open. 1t must be carefully
watched to prevent it from browning.
While the corn is delicious either way.
there is something about the sun dry
ing process that gives the corn a
greater delicacy.

three directions on the Somme front,
have stormed nearly three miles of
German trenches, driving forward at
points to depth of 800 to 500 yards.
The most important gains were

points held by the Germans in this
sector, have been flanked on both sides,

PRESIDENT WILSON ACTS
TO HALT RAIL STRIKE

New York, Aug. 15.-The defiant
conference committee of the railways
and the defiant labor leaders of the

they would arbitrate nothing and were
about to order national railroad
strike, stopping every train. passen-
ger and freight. on the 225 rail trans

The presidents letter, which was adj

follows:
1.-The White House, Washington,
Aug. 81 have learned with surprise
and keen disappointment that an
agreement concerning the settlement
of the matters in controversy between
the railways and their employees has
proved impossible.
"a general strike on the railroads
would at any time have a most far
reaching and injurious effect upon the
country. At this time, the effect might
be disastrous. l feel that / have the
