ALFALFA FLOUR COMES NEXT.
Reporter Discovers II and Is
Possibility.

A breakfast of alfalfa pancakes,
with alfalfa honey served with a cup
of alfalfa coffee is not a improbable
thing OF the near future, according to
an article in the New York Evening
World, in spite Of the fact that It
savors somewhat Of the feed storel
To a majority alfalfa is usually
associated with hay, but 1t seems to
possess latent possibilities as a food
for man as well The article states
that there is movement under way
in an Iowa city to establish a big
plant for the sole purpose Of convert
ing alfalfa into edible products. II
is said that the leaves may be baked
in a certain way so as to make an
excellent and nutritive substitute for
tea or coffee The seed may be
ground into a -four which is used as
a substitute for wheat. Alfalfa
honey and syrup have been pronounc-
I'd of good quality and delightful
aste.
Perhaps the alfalfa mill here will
ry to extend its industry.

STATE IS MORAL
GOV. CAPPER MADE STRONG
ADDRESS AT TALMAGE.
Thinks War May Last Two or Three
Years, But Will End in Pcrma-
ncnt World Peace-Patriotic
Meeting Held.

Before an audience that filed eq'
cry space in the auditorium of the
new Methodist church at Talmage
last night Governor Capper made the
opening address of the dedication
week. After ALL" he said, the
real basis of Kansas greatness Is not
\ its crops or its bank accounts, but
it's men and women and the high
measure of character that marks its
people. The church and the spirit
of Christianity are giving Kansas a
moral standard that leads the nation
and we are raising out here the fin
est generation OF young people In the
nation" The governor discussed
the war conditions briefly, saying
that everyone must give his whole
heart to the struggle for success in
the hope and belief that in the end
1t shall bring world peace for human
ity while we do this we should
not excuse the profiteers who are try
Ing to make money off the war neees-
stiles of the nation and there should
be the courage of the peoples con-
victions to see to it that there is an
equal bearing of the burden in this
country"
There is only one side to the war
now" said the governor, land that
is the side of the United States. How
long it will last we do not know. III
may end in year, but from my com
munications with men in authority,
both here and abroad, l get the i'm
preston that 1t is more likely to last
two or three years."
The governor was introduced byl
the pastor, Rev. C. F. Benson, who
called him the greatest governor OF
all the states" The program was a
patriotic one with community sing
ing and included a short address by !,
C. M. Harger and solo by Miss
Clara Higdon. Tonight Rev. C. B.
Zook, former resident at Talmage,
will preach.
The church has cost 100000, and
is one of the finest in the county
1t is the only church In the town and
will be a community center in the
fullest sense.

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Abilene Experiences

Kidney disease is too dangerous
to neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or urinary
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat, take things easier and
nse a reliable kidney tonic. There S
no other kidney medicine so well
recommended as Doan's Kidney
Pills. Abilene people rely on them.
Here's one of the man. statements
from Abilene people:

WILL DRILL FIRST TEST WELL
FOR OIL ON COUNTY FARM
Local Company Completes Contract
With Atlas Petroleum Company.

Charles Kubach, manager Of the
Dickinson County Oil and Gas com.
pany has Just been advised by the
Atlas Petroleum company Of Kansas
City, Mo-, that complete new drill
ing outfit for Abilene has been pur-
chased, including a standard rig of
steel construction and a car load of
casing at cost of $1,000, which
is now on the way. 1t is the inten-
ton to put down three test wells in
the county. The first location will
be made on the poor farm, which,
If oil should be struck, will be the
rich farm. The other two locations
have not as yet been definitely de-
cided, but the supposition is. one
test will be made east of Detroit and
the other east OF Enterprise.
The Atlas Petroleum company is a
big concern and is able to do any
thing necessary to be done to develop
an oil field. They will furnish the
