MD. CERTIFIED WHEAT POPUIap
Poole No. 10 and Lancaster No. IA
Have Increased Yield.

Two selections of wheat made bv
the College of Agriculture a few
years ago have become popular with
the farmers of Buchanan County
Fifty bushels of Poole No. 10 and nina
bushels of Fulcaster No. 16 were dis.
tributed in the county in 1913, three
persons receiving the Poole and ono
the Fulcaster. There was little. n
any, of either of these varieties in the
county at that time.
The recent wheat certification cam.
paign has shown that both varieties
are becoming more popular among the
farmers each year. Nineteen persons
have listed $4,000 bushels of the Full.
caster and twenty-five persons have
listed $4,000 bushels of the Poole va
riety. These two are considered the
highest yielding varieties in the
county. The average yield of wheat
in the particular section where they
are grown has been greatly increased
since the introduction of these two
varieties.

SAFEGUARD THE GIRLS"
War Service Undertaken BY Trained
Workers of Y. w. c. A.

| BY United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-"Safeguard
the girls" is the burden of scores of
letters pouring into the national head
quarters of the Young Wemen's Chris
tian Association at New York City.
The National Board of the Y. w. c. A.
is confronted with an immense re-
sponsibility for helping safeguard the
moral conditions in the neighborhood
of training camps and for providing
for the welfare of women in special in
dustries created by the unusual con-
ditions of war
A still further responsibility has
been brought to them by cable from
European countries asking for trained
American women to help in the con-
structive programs for new life among
women in Russia, France and England.
Through the National Board the Y. w
c. A. has assembled on its War Work
Council a number of women known
from ocean to ocean for their public
spirited interest on all that affects a
community.
Requests have come from a large
number of the centers near which
troops are being Quartered for exper-
fenced workers and secretaries to work
with local Y. W. c. AS in organizing
the young women and girls of the var
ious communities with a view to coun-
teracting the very natural attraction
which the uniform has for young girls.
Admiration for uniforms is based on
a deeper admiration for the manliness
and courage of those who are to go
over to the front. The lure of the
khaki may be made a summons to dig
nifty in the girl and manliness in the
soldier.
At various training and concentra-
tion camps trained secretaries of the
Y. W. c. A. are on the spot gathering
up all the resources of the communi-
ty which can be made to serve the in
terests of the young women and girls.
There will be number of canton
ments in centers where no large city
exists. To these the Y. W. C. A. is
giving special attention.

Reserve Forces.

A recruiting campaign is being
made in Missouri in behalf of the Mis-
souri, Naval Reserve Militia. More
than 500 men have already joined the

years of age.
The Missouri Naval Reserve Militia
is now in training at Bissell's Point in
st. Louis. Any one who considers en-
tering this service is asked to under
go a physical examination before he
goes to the recruiting headquarters
in order to save himself the expense
of trip there. should he be physical
ly disqualified. Recruiting may be or
dered stopped at any time, according
to John Frien. ensign, who has charge
of the campaign.

WHAT "CANTONMENTo' MEANS
Terms for Various Kinds OF Army
Camps Defined.

By United Press
FORT RILEY, Kan, August 23.-
Army officials today explained the
difference between cantonment camps
and concentration camps. From the
official dictionary come the following
distinctions:
Cantonment Camp-A semi-perma-
nent camp where soldiers are held
for short periods before being sent to
posts or forts.
Mobilization Camp-Tent camps
used to quarter soldiers and made for
the purpose of bringing large groups
of soldiers together to be organized.
Buildings of wood are used to pro-
tect officers. Soldiers live in tents.
Concentration Camp-A camp from
which soldiers will be started, not
permanent. A concentration camp
can also be built and used for the pur-
pose of assembling large bodies of
troops for maneuvers.

SANITATION In RURAL SCHOOLS

In the interests of efficiency and
health there is an increasing neces-
sity for the application of scientific
medical and sanitary knowledge to
the administration of the public
schools, is the opinion Of the Arkan-
sas Public Health Service, and might
equally be applied to the schools of
Missouri.
In general the faults observed in
rural schools, the annual report of the
service declares, are due to lack of
skilled advice, especially in regard to
the location. construction and equip
ment of school buildings and disre-
gard of sanitary principles governing
water supplies. the disposal of sew
age, ventilation, temperature, illumi-
nation and the arrangement of school
desks and blackboards. During the
past year surveys have been made in
rural districts in several states and
many thousands of school children
have been examined. These examina-
tions have included thorough testing
of the eyes by competent oculists,
tests of mental capacity and the effect
of sanitary environment on school
progress, as well as inspections for
the customary defects.
The conclusion is reached that
there is a great need for improvement
in rural schools and that communities
themselves will benefit if conditions
are bettered. the schools serving as
object lessons for surrounding sec
tions. Conditions in country dis
trlcuS navo boon found below those in
the cities. ana IL Is apparent that or
ganized health work has largely been
confined to the latter Considered
from a sanitary standpoint alone the
Public Health Service is in favor of
consolidation of rural schools, since
it must eventually result in the pro-
viding of better buildings and the Or
ganization of systems of efficient san
itary inspection.
. What is true of other rural districts
is true of Boone County. Let's inves-
tigate the sanitary conditions of our
rural schools before the fall term
opens.

POLITICAL LINEUP
IN CANADA DEFINED
PARTY Organization in Do
minion More Rigid Than
in United States.
CONSUMPTION ISSUE
Liberals Will Have Almost
Solid Support in Prov
ince of Quebec.

| (This is the second of a series of ar
ticles on the political and military
situation in Canada.)
! BY United Press
OTTAWA, Canada, Aug. 23.-To de-
| fine Canadian political designations
in American terms, the Liberal would
be a Democrat in the United States,
the Conservative would be a Repub-
lican. Party organizations are more
rigid in Canada than they are now
in the United States, but in both the
Liberal and Conservative parties
there is the natural grouping of pro-
gressive and reactionary elements.
Both party organizations have
been hard hit in the fight over the
conscription issue which will culmi-
nate in the general election next fall.
The anti-conscriptionist Liberal par
ty (the "outs'), under Laurier's lead
ership, are going into the fight with
the solid support of the province of
Quebec. Quebec returns 65 seats to
the House of Commons. COnserva
tives concede that Laurier will con-
troll at least 60 of them. Quebec is
the solid south" of Canada.
There are 100000 Germans and
Austrians in Canada, chiefly in west
ern provinces. Public opinion is that
this vote will be almost solidly Lib
eral Along with this vote there
will be what Conservatives call the
Stacker vote" or the support of men
who have not enlisted. This will be
important without question. Laurier,
too, has a certain advantage in the
fact that over 100000 of the most pro-
gressive and aggressive of Canada's
men are in war duty in Europe. Their
strength would be strongly pro-cOn-
scription.
While the Canadian soldiers can
vote, previous efforts along that line
have shown that the difficulties of
conducting an election along the
fighting front are tremendous. But
20 per cent OF the soldier vote of
British Columbia was cast and count
ed in a recent provincial election.
1t is upon these forces, the French
Canadian vote, the alien, the slack
er" and the dyed in the WOOL Lib
eral party man, that Sir Wilfrid bases
his hopes of success.
On the Conservative side it is
freely admitted that the outlook for
success is not the brightest. Yet
Borden has many sources of strength.
He has behind him a far more united
party than Laurier. Early in the
campaign a proposal for a coalition
government was made to Laurier, but
refused by him. Now there is very
strong talk of a Unionist government
made up of Conservatives and Win
the War" Liberals.
This is the lineup in Canada.
They have brands of political hook

smoked on this side of the lakes and
