This new way to rid ones feet of

Compliments of the Day.

Soldiers have to do their own mend

pears-although few persons would
have guessed it-that the thoughtful
war Office supplies them with outfits
for that purpose. Otherwise, this joke
from the Journal of the American Med
Teal association would be impossible /:
Everything was ready for kit inspec-
ton; the recruits stood lined up ready
for the officer, and the officer had his
bad temper all complete. he marched
up and down the line, grizzly eying

this season viii be greater by a billion
bushels than last year. This does not
take into account the thousands Of

other vegetables. The governments

Expect Much Legislation.

More and more it is apparent that
great deal of legislation is TO be asked
at the special session here late in the
fall. The definite demands on the gov
ernor for legislation are coming in
daily and there are at least ten or
twelve subjects now about which re-
quests have been made for legislation.
One of the questions which will be
asked at the legislature win be for
decided amendment of the Sunday la.
Dor law. This will be outside also OF
the excise Sunday question on which
there will be bin permitting local au-
thOrities to decide whether saloons in
their communities will be open on Sun
day.
The amendment will ask that plants
engaged in the manufacture of necessi-
ties for the war, such as munitions,
clothing for the army. and food be ex-
empted from the provisions of the Law
requiring that no works but those Of
necessity be done on Sunday.
