TRAINING MEN To
De BALLOON|STS

OMAHA, Neb. Aug. 10.-Twelve hun
dred university and college men, from
practically all the big schools of higher
education in the United States, are
gathered at Fort Omaha, just above this
city, where they are being rounded into
first-class army balloonists for the
purpose of rangefnding for the great
guns of the American army in France.
Because of the highly technical nature
OF the instruction only young men of
the very best education are admitted to
the school. AS rapidly as they are
finished" they are rushed out to the
army.
When aeroplanes began taking such
"a prominent part in the war it was
thought that observation balloons
would be of no further use in warfare,
but after the range of the big guns was
extended until the shells were fired
from about below the horizon, and
necessarily put out of sight of the
gunners, the observation balloons
came back into use with even greater
functions to perform than ever before.
American artillery officers were
quick to recognize this, and when we
entered the conflict there was a de-
mand for the competent balloonists. A
call was sent out to university and col
Ilege men everywhere and they re-
sponded in droyes.
One of the graduates of the army
balloon school is Charles j. Glidden.
originator of the Glidden automobile
tours He was one of the first to re-
spond to the call, and he turned his at
tention to aeronautics. He has just
been graduated from the school and
sent to Boston as the officer in charge
| OF aeronautics in the New England
states
When the American army gets down
to business in France the instruction
in observation and range-fnding given
at the Fort Omaha army school will be
OF great value.

experts hold would tend to keep Swift
zerland in line, inasmuch as the influ-
ence of her sister republic would prob
ably prevent her being to friendly with
Germany.
Aside from the possibility that Ger
many will strike Switzerland if she
stands firm in her refusal, authorities
here point out that Germany's demands
for loan indicate a growing financial
strain within the empire. Further evil
dence came recently in state depart
ment advices showing there had been
some decrease in Germany's gold re-
serve-a thing hitherto unknown.
With drain going on, the pressure
sooner or later will become too much
fer Germany and she will collapse nat
urally, say the experts.

Farmers are exempted from the hoard

The bill also authorizes the presi-
dent to requisition, for military or
public defense needs, all necessaries
named, and, to guarantee reasonable
prices to producer and consumer, to
buy and sell fuel, wheat, flour, meal,

compensation, for military or public

Regulation of grain and other food

COMPLAINT ON COTTON
SHIPMENTS TO AMERICUs

Considerable dissatisfaction is being
expressed by the cotton warehouse OPP
orators of this city over the freight
service on the Seaboard Air Line rail
road between Americas and the sta
tons on this side of the Flint river in
the eastern section of the county.
1t is claimed that much delay re-
suits from the present arrangement,
whereby cotton shipped to Americas
from Leslie, DeSoto and other stations
in that vicinity, is being carried to
Cordele and sometimes to Helena be-
fore being brought back to this city,
its rightful destination. From three
days to a week is thus lost in transit
and il many cases serious delay is
caused in the consummation of import
ant cotton transactions
The above described arrangement
went into effect last year and is being
continued this season by the Seaboard
Air Line, but the warehousemen are
making strenuous protest and hope
to secure better freight schedule.
Several bales of 1917 cotton have
been shipped to Americus from stations
east of this city, but although two or
three days have elapsed. no sign of
the cotton has yet been seen here

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged
and need a flushing occasionally, else we
have backache and dull misery in the
kidney region, severe headaches, rheu-
matte twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder dis

You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
teel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,

before breakfast for a few days and

LARGER CABBAGE ACREAGE
MAY NOT BE ADVISABLE

Keen Disappointment is likely to be
experienced by farmers who plant a
greatly increased acreage to cabbages
in 1917, even though present prices
have reached the unprecedented level
of $3.50 to SITS a ton.
This is the opinion of J. r. Help
Ter, specialist in vegetables and truck
growing at the College of Agrlcul-
ture, University Of Wisconsin. 1t
has repeatedly occurred that periods
of high prices in certain crops are
followed by seasons in which the
same product may be drug on the
market
Owing to the possibility of loss
through disease, and the uncertainty
of weather conditions and prices in
1917, Mr.. Helper thinks that the be-
ginner in cabbage culture should not
risk too much in order to get share
of the cabbage profits.
Only those who are in a position
to grow cabbage successfully, based
on experience and knowledge Of the
crop, and who have good marketing
facilities should think seriously OF
growing a larger acreage, it is be-
lieved
