has come from farmers, bankers, and
other citizens to the efforts of the
Kansas Council of Defense. He is in
sisting that a Eair price must be paic
for all farm products i'll this time o.
stress
No Low Prices.
"a time of food shortage is not the
time to lower the prices which the
producer is to receive" commented
the governor, and no attempt will be
made, l am confident, to do this. What
do object to, is the distributors TAX
ing advantage of an acute situation
to fix selling prices purely in his own
interest despite the fact that he is a
man who has no claim watever to
any excessive profit. The farmer
should realize that he will be protect
ed and that there is no danger of
overproduction."
The council of defense, Governor
Capper explained, is carrying out its
program at the urgent request of
President Wilson, Secretary Houston.
and Secretary Baker.
Farmers Are Patriotic.
The council has not carried on it's
work. said Governor Capper. be
cause there is any doubt of the patri-
otism of the Kansas farmer. OF this
there never has been and never will be
any doubt. The Kansas farmer will do
his whole duty in this emergency, as
ne HdS uOHe III every emergency III the
past. The council Is cooperating with
the farmers of the state with a view
to solving problems of labor, seed,
finance, and other matters. The coun-
ell is prepared to go the limit in help
ing the farmer carry out his plans for
serving the nation in this great crisis.
The council is demanding that city
people do their part also, and they are
responding wonderfully. The banker,
the business man, the housewife, real
ize that effort and sacrifice are de-
quired of them, the same as of the
farmer in the fields or the soldier in
camp or trench"

RHEUMATISM PAIN

The exact cause of rheumatism is I'M
known, though 1t is generally believed to be
due TO an excess of uric acid in the blood.
1t may be also said with equal truth that no
remedy has been found which is "a specific
in all cases. In fact the literature of rheu-
matism shows that there are but few drugs
which have not been given n trial. In the
hands of one observer we find that a certain
drug has been used with the utmost salts
faction; others have found the same remedy
to be n great disappointment. All physi-
clans however agree that every method of
treatment Is aided by the administration of
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet
the nervous system and DIR. W. s. Schultze
expresses the opinion of thousands of prac-
titioners when he says that ti-kamnia
tablets should be given preference over all
other remedies for the relief of the pain in
all forms of rheumatism. These tablets can
be purchased in any quantity. They are
also unsurpassed for headaches, neuralgias
and all pain. Ask for AK Tablets.

Chicago, May 10.-''The Spectator

America Talking Too Much
About Aero Fleet, He Believes.

Paris, June 23.-America is talking
too much about that vast fleet of
aeroplanes-and not paying enough
attention to the equally vital inven-
tory and artillery arms of offense in
the opinion of a high member of Maj
Gen. Pershing's staff.
After reading cables to French
papers on the nationwide agitation in
America urging congress to approve
huge aero fleet plans, he declared to-
day:
while supremacy in the air is i'm
perative, aeroplanes alone are not GO
ing to win the war. There are three
big elements-infantry, artillery and
aviation. The three should be con-
sidered in balanced coordination.
