Recruiting Sergeants.

The war departments appeal to
American citizens to turn rec ruit-
ing sergeants and fill up the gaps
in the regular army is based on
the soundest kind Of patriotism.
1t is an appeal directed at each
individual and as obligatory in
adherence as though the call for
actual service was made.
1t suggests the country's re-
Spouse to Lincoln, memoralized
for all time in the sentence 1--WE

and it ought to have an equally
enthusiastic acceptance now.
There has been much said and
written and sung of prepared
ness" AS the war departments
appeal reads those who are
really interested in preparedness
"can render no more effective
service than by using their ut
most influence to recruit the
regular army to the strength
authorized by law"
Why shouldn't the country do
this? The army is not an amuse-
ment enterprise. 1t is organized
to protect US. 1t is maintained
to defend our country and its
interests. Why shouldn't there
fore, every individual, who en-
joys this protection and this de-
fence do the very little now asked

urge the ladies OF Baxter Springs,

but it is your duty and for your

the selfish interest OF himself or
herself?
II was q misfortune because 1t
was an insult, to regard at one
time, the army as q service un-
becoming a man. Thanks be,
that perversion Of public opinion
has been cured. The army, mill
tary service not from the view
point of the ogre or the brute,
but from the viewpoint OF the
trained man, the physical cultur-
list, the patriot, has become q
highly respectable and highly
patriotic service, which, in the
course of time maybe, no man
may ignore unless he be crippled
or inhibited by religion.
That being SO, none need hesl-
tate to recommend the service to
a young man whose circumstances
will permit enlistment. The
army, like the navy, is a great
forge in which iron men are made
men who are needed in this life
gentle as a child and strong as Q
lion. And the country needs
them and it needs the help OF III
citizens to get them.

The City Manager

The approach Of election day
has brought on some talk about
the virtues of the commission
form of government for the city,
Also some have taken note Of the
city manager law passed by the
legislature just adjourned. This
law permits cities of the second
class to hire a city manager. As
we understand it, a city manager
serves in much the same capacity
as the cashier of a bank. The
council, which corresponds to
the directors of a bank, hire the
manager to do the work and take
the responsibility of seeing that
it is done. The council can hire
or discharge the city manager at
will. Dayton, Ohio, adopted this
plan directly after the flood a
few years ago and it has worked
out with great success. Wichita
adopted the plan last week by a
big vote. Baxter Springs, it ap-
pears, stands as a city Of the
second class and under the law
can adopt the city manager plan.
No doubt a man, competent
and devoting his entire time to
the work, could greatly improve
upon the manner in which this
city has been run, and could
easily save the amount of his
salary in addition. The subject
is important to every tax payer
and by all means ought to be
considered and discussed. Why
not be the first city of its size in
the state to take this progressive
step?

USING WHEAT FOR HOG FEED

OF value to pork producers, especially
~ seasons when the corn crop Is short.
~ cHrrying ON experimental work with
osner crops grown on the farm. BY
conducting feeding trials with wheat
IL has been shown that under some
conditions wheat may well be used for
hog feeding instead Of corn. Results
obtained show that when corn Is worth
~ cents or more q bushel, wheat NAV
be rrofitably substituted for corn. II
the wheat Is worth 90 cents or less.
Likewise IL corn In worth so cents per
oushel. wheat Is worth $1.O3 a bushel
~ hog feed.
IL has been further shown that pork
may be produced more cheaply by adj
ding q small amount OF tankage to q
mixture Of corn and wheat than by
feeding these feeds without such q
supplement.
For example,. the cost OF producing
100 pounds OF pork with corn and tank
age was % cents less than when

mean an additional profit to the pro-
