RECRUITS HARD TO GET NOW
"Stick to the Farm Talk is Having
Its Effect, Kansas Guard Of
ficers Declare.

Topeka--This back-to-the-farm talk,
or stay-on-the-farm talk, is playing
hob" with the recruiting of the Kansas
national guard The officers are find
ing it difficult to recruit the regiments
to full war strength and they say it is
due to the advice being given to the
boys to stay on the farm OF 20 back
to the farm.
incidentally, it is verifying the state
ment made by regular army officers
that it would be impossible to recruit
a volunteer army of any large proper
tions. The general staff at Washing
ton insisted on the draft law because
it claimed the army could not be raised
without great trouble. The advocates
OF the volunteer system took issue
with the general staff.
When the draft law was accom-
plished an opportunity was left to test
out the volunteer plan on the national
guard and the officers of the guard
are having trouble in obtaining re-
cruits. They do not lay it to the vol
unteer system, but claim it is due en-
tirely to the wholesale advice TO young
men to stay on the farms or 20 back
to the farms
These young farmers were eager to
enlist" said an officer Of the guard,
but they have been prevailed upon
to stay on the farm and have been led
to believe it is just as patriotic to sa-
lutte a pillow in a cornfield as it is a
foTty-two-centimete on a battlefield
OF course there is nothing 10 that.
at is very important that this coun-
try produce all the crops it can, but
the young men asked to join the guard
now will not be called out until the
present crop season is over, at least
not until the crops are all in and tend
ed. 1t is unfortunate for the volunteer
system that the farm talk would break
it down, but it looks as if that thing
is going to happen"
The stay-on-the-farm talk cannot in
terfere with the raising of an army
under the draft law. The draft board
will have the right to take men from
the farms if it wants to, and the
chances are that it will not pass all Of
them by.

ties In the remodeling of gowns by
combining materials that the amateur
is apt to try a little original designing.
But safety lies in copying the models
in afternoon frocks turned out by ex-
pert designers, when gowns are to be
remodeled-
Everything else in neckwear is
more or less eclipsed by the vogue Of
the iabot which amounts, just now, TO
e furore. Snowy heaps Of net and lace.
fashioned into every variety OF jabOt,
happen in all parts of the dry goods
stores, and each is a center Of attrac-
tion for a crowd OF absOrbingly inter
ested women. otherwise the regular
neckwear section would be overwhelm-
ed. It doesn't take any saiesmanship
to sell jabots. they sell themselves, and
all the merchant has to do is to take,
the money-and keep up the supply.
This pretty madness on the part Of
women promises to OutlaSt the sum
mer and the jabOt is SO altogether clas-
81 and pretty that it should have a
long popularity. With this in mind
we can be reconciled to the rather ex-
travagant prices that are asked for

A special dispensation from the god
desS Of fashion in the interest of thrift
" women, lies in the present vogue for
two or more fabrics in one gown. In
all the array Of pretty frOcks for after
noon wear-or any other dressy wear,
for that matter-there are hardly any
that are fashioned of just one mate
rial. If the mission Of q gown is full
filled by merely looking well, it is made
OF two or more materials, or of two
patterns in one material.
Thrift is a mark Of good breeding
in these times. Now, when the re-
sources of this country are about to be
put to the test, women must be willing
to do with less so that others, who
need, may have more.
But It is no great hardship to do
without q new frock if an old one can
be remOdeled into a thing Of beauty.
The gown shown in the picture offers
a good suggestion for remodeling be-
cause the OverbOdice and sleeves are
made Of geOrgette crepe, and worn
with a silk skirt and underbodice. This
overbOdice bears all the evidences Of
being strictly up-tO-date with its wide
tucks, long sleeves and its big cape
collar of white crepe. A small triangle
Of white crepe is set in the sleeves at
the wrist.
new bodice OF this kind simply ef-
faces the memory Of the dress it used
to be and makes this into q dress OF
today A new finishing touch appears
in the neck ribbon and tasseI which
add the final charm to a frock that
can't help proving a satisfaction to its
wearer. There are so many possibili-

an accessory whose only mission il
life is being good to look at 1t takes
good grade Of net, good lace and
good work to make a successful jabot
that is, one that will stand laundering.
For the jabOt is nothing if not imma-
culate as to freshness and daintiness-
Net and net combined with lace
make the three pretty examples Of the
jabOt shown In the picture. One con-
sOling thing about them is that they
are very easy to make and just as
easy to keep clean. The jabot at the
left may be made Of a square of net,
with one corner cut of and gathered
into the stock. which is q straight band
Of the net. Fflet lace is used for edg-
ing the jabot and for the narrow turn

A wider silk flet, set to long piece
Of net on the ends and one edge,

TINE FoR The CANNING NOW
ss4ousewiVes of State are Busy Putting
Up Fruits and Vegetables for
Winter Use.

Housewives throughout the state
have begun to can fruit and vegetables
for winter use. The fruit, mostly
strawberries, came from Oklahoma
and Texas. The price has reached
that point where frugal women felt
that they were justified in canning
some Many tons of rhubarb also were
canned and the entire crop will be
put up within the next two weeks.
The only vegetable being canned just
now is asparagus. 1t is the only one
matured in Kansas. But others will
keep coming on now and the house
wife viii be kept busy until frost
comes.
1t is estimated that five times as
much stuff-fruit and vegetabIes-wiH
be canned in the homes this year as
in the average year of the past. In
nearly every town the women have
formed canning clubs and are prepar-
ing to can everything produced. This
may bring down the price of canned
goods in the stores to those who are
unable to do any home canning; at
least it will help to keep the price
down.
o. P. Whitney, secretary of the State
Horticultural Society, has taken a
hand in the game and here are his
suggestions as to what can be raised
or canned in June:
Tomatoes may be trans planted this
month with fair success. Tomatoes
are a standard garden fruit and one
of the staples for canning, and every
one should raise some tomatoes. They
are so easily canned and keep well in
most any glass container. A surplus
of pOdded beans may be canned. Be
careful not to let them get too old.
Beets are one of the important sue
culent root crops which are relished
by nearly everyone. Can when the
diameter of the beet is about tive
inches. Can them at that time or
they become woody and unpalatable.
l feel that 1 cannot say too much in
favor of sweet corn. Corn has fought
and won all Of the great wars of this
country and corn must win this world
war in which we are engaged. Each
pint of dried sweet corn will give a
nutritious and wholesome food and be
a valuable addition to the worlds sup
ply.

POOR OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT
Reports to Secretary MohIer Indicate
the Smallest Yield in Kansas

age of the last ten years. These are
Mohler of the state board of agricul-

three points lower than a month ago.
The crop will not be large enough for
the normal milling demand of the
state and for seeding next fall Some
wheat area that seemed likely, a
month ago, to make~a crop, failed to
come out with the spring growing
weather.
The estimated corn area this year
is million acres. the largest ever
planted in the state, and million

81 per cent done May 10, and the
condition of the crop on that date was
