son and the nation in the fight for lib
erty, freedom and humanity as the
ally of Americas sister republic,
France and her companion nations "a
the world war.
Frances distinguished representa-
tives are impressed by the universal
determination of Americas foreign
population in responding to the call.
Even in the cities in which the Ger
mans and Austrians form a large part
of the inhabitants and especially at
st. Louis, where half the city is of
German descent or German born, the
mayor a German and many city Off
Gals of the same nationality. the
earnestness of the pledges given was
a revelation.
Now Seeing Industrial America.
On every side, there have been evil
dences of the intensive agricultural
and industrial work. In the great
wheat and corn belts were seen signs
of the vast preparations for this years
harvest, so essential to the feeding of
the fighting men and the population
of our allied countries. Having thus
received the pledge of the middle west
the war mission today is speeding to-
ward Philadelphia. New York and Bos-
ton, where it will be given the message
of the great industrial east, with its
vast munitions and other works.
The mission has paid homage to
Washington and Lincoln. At the

places are revered and looked upon by

those officials of France vowed never
to cease the fight against autocracy
and for civilization.
Wonderful enthusiasm, sincere and
spontaneous, has greeted the commits
sioners since they left Washington
They have seen for themselves that
America is united, determined and
confident that the war shall result
IN success against Germany and that
every resource of the United States is
pledged to that end, no matter what
the sacrifice may be- The enthusiasm
or the hundreds of thousands of
Americans who, in various cities, have
cheered the visitors, was astounding
to the distinguished visitors and has
carried conviction to them.
Viviani's Tribute to West.
NJ. Viviani, leader of the mission,
speaking of the trip, said:
I'VE have been surprised and de-
lighted at the generous welcome from
the middle west. The expressions of
were extended to us were particularly
remarkable.
That all your inha bitants of what
ever race should have shown SO deep
sympathy with the cause of France
has gratified us deeply. Indeed, the
visit to st. Louis, kansas City and
Chicago and the trip thru Indiana.
Illinois and Missouri has been rev.
elation to In spite of all we had
read and heard of the immense ia
cilities and the organizing power of
America, we found our conceptions
surpassed.
I'VE realize that the west and mid
die west is the granary, not only of
the United States, but of the whole
world at times. The unlimited part
that they could play in the planting of
larger crops might win the war. After
seeing the splendid men, women and
children of the middle west, we feel
no uneaSiIieSS about what they will do
in this war. AS to their Willingness.
their reception of US makes US feel
sure the spirit of doing the work was
| there as we'll as the means of doing
it."
Even Joffre Breaks Silence.
Marshall Joffre, when asked his i'm
pressions, said:
II am a soldier and man of few
! words, but even the most taciturn
must speak when greeted with sights
such as we have seen in the middle
west. The absolutely unanimous en-
| thusiasm manifested everywhere
shows that the people of the United
| States fully realize the immensely OF
the task and that they are preparing
| for 1t in the same great and earnest
| spirit as, early in the war, did so well
the citizens and peasants of France.
ION my return to France 1 shall
| bear not only the pleasantest memory
of most encouraging sights everywhere
but an assurance for my soldiers and
the allies that can not but raise their
| spirits. They shall know from me
that, not only are the immense re-
sources of America pledged to the
| cause of civilization, but that Ameri-
cans are with them in spirit as we'll. Z"
Similar sentiments We're expressed
by Vice Admiral CocheDrat, Mr. Hove
laque and the Marquis de Chambrun.
All expressed deep qualification.

MILK ROOM ESSENTIAL.
Flies Should Be Kept From Dairy
Products During Summer.

Manhattan. Kan. May "a milk
room is a necessity in dairying, accord
ing to w. E. Tomson, instructor in
dairy husbandry in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
A milk room is needed at all times
but is particularly important in warm
weather, pointed out Mr.. Tomson.
Milk must be kept away from flies.
The room should be tightly screened
and kept in sanitary condition.
The milk room affords facilities for
keeping the milk cool. This is essen

Brest, France, May 9.-Brest is lay
ing in a supply of American flags to
hang out when the first American
warships steam up the "Goulet" and
NO Brestos'' is allowed to doubt for

advocated by all.
There is a trade question allied to
the proposed use of the port as an
American naval base-the old Brest-

shorten the route between the French

Thursday, February 9, 1917.
Astrologers read this as an unimportant
day, but Jupiter rules strongly for good,
while Neptune is family helpful. In the
evening Mercury is in evil place.
According to astrology the uttermost
parts of the world will be more than ever
affected by the reflex influence Of the
war, which disturbs all the occult forces,
setting in motion the vibrations most de-
pressing and most discouraging.
During the next few months the United
States may suffer from upheavals social.
political and financial, all due to the final
disturbances that attend the end of the
war.
Warning Is given to conserve physical
strength as well as material resources of
every sort. Men and women should safe
guard their means of subsistence, for
conditions in the economic system of this
country will be greatly changed
For this day good luck is predicted for
bankers, merchants and manufacturers.
Neptune is in a place that is encour-
aging for commerce-cargoes shipped

Important embassies are foreshadowed

Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the

the automobile manufacturer stands
ready at anytime he may be called upon
to turn his plant over to the government
for whatever purpose ii may see at to
use 1t. Not only is the offer to turn the
plan over but the vast number of
skilled employees as well. It is hard to
estimate the value of this offer. Auto

the other side. The uses to which they
