MAIN FORCE PROBABLY
 HELD BACK YEAR

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 20.- It Will be next spring probably be- fore the main forces of the United States will be sent to France, said a high official of the War Department today.
 Lack of full equipment and suit able officers for the large contingent will delay sending men to France.
 By that time in any event most of the men drafted in September will be ready for field service and will have been fully equipped. It is possible that by dint of great eff fort the main force could be landed in France before that time but there

 WASHINGTON, D. C.,May 20.- It is altogether likely that the men who will accompany Pershing will be wholly or for the greater part regulars, although there is an anxiety upon the part of some mi- litia regiments to take part in the first expeditionary force to France.

The dates of the Fowler Chau.
tauqua this year are the same as
Meade's, August 1914. They
have another excellent program
tor this year. 1t is to be regret
ted that the dates are the same,
as it will prevent the exchange
of courtes,es, customary in the
past, both places feeling that
they owe their first duty to their
home Chautauqua. A nice ex-
change of attendance could, and
no doubt will be arranged be-
tween the afternoon and evening
programs of the two places. Be
ing entirely different courses, an
arrangement of this kind would
provide an entire change of pro.
gram for those who would care

Why We Advertise

A prominent business man of
Michigan explains why he uses
newspapers for the purpose as
follows:
81 advertise in the newspapers
because | am not ashamed of my
work and to let the people know
about myself, my store and my
stock; because l cater to the in
telligent class, and they read the
newspapers and l believe in in-
creasing my business; because l
can talk to more people through
the newspapers at greater dis
tance IN less time and at more
reasonable price than any other
way; because my newspaper ad
vertising has brought me great
er returns for the last expendi
ture of any advertising, When
l write an "ad" l am not too
stiugy to pay for placing it in
the best possible medium or to
have it inserted so it is attrac-
tive; because l know my "ad" is
seen and the paper goes.-Ex.

Cattle Dip Treatment

Many Of the small boys of the
city have recently been seized
with base ball fever, and the at
tack has proven serious to Billy
McMeel, Hollis Marshall, John
Sullivan, and Raymond Young,
in this way: These small boys
all had base ball gloves, and
some one advised them that an
application of llnseed oil would
make the gloves last much long
err. In the ware room of Mr.
Marshall's store there was bar
rel of oil, and there was also a
barrel of cattle dip (but this the
boys didn't know. The out
come is easily guessed. Luck
must have been against them
At any rate, the application was
made from the cattle dip barrel
aud few hours later the boys
learned of their mistake. Any
one of them will describe the un'
pleasant sensation of cattle dil
in their eyes.

Meade Chautauqua

Ii the signs point right, we are
going TO have a most successful
Chautauqua this summer. 1t is
a little early perhaps to go into
details of the Chautauqua plans,
and in fact many of them are not
yet decided upon, but with the
announcement of the program
and the general interest which is
already manifest, the indications
are that the week will be not only
one of pleasure and profit, but
one IN which a great many peo
pie will be i'm mensely interested.
The program is nicely varied
with features that will be of
special interest to everyone, with
an abundance of music and en-"
tertainment to make the week
delightful and highly entertain
Ing throughout.
We are boxing for good num-
Der of farmers in Chautauqu ua
week. This is a splendid time
for them to ease up bit on the
work OF the summer and take a
few days to enjoy some of the
good things without which farm
life becomes a tedious drudgery.
1t is expected that there will
be good attendance from our
ueighboring towns.
As to the sale of the season
ticGets, every live business man
in town will have tickets to sell
when the time comes. No one
need be troubled about finding a
place to get tickets.
The whole thing of putting on
Chautauqua as everyone
knows, is public spirited work
aud for that reason everyone
should do what they can to make
the work of these public spirited
citizens as easy as possible.
Meade is known as town of
splendid churches and good
schools, and along side of these
should come a good, strong
Chautauqua. appealing to all
classes of people and including
all the people of the entire COM
munlty. Such Chautauqua
we propose n akiug this.
The Chautaqua dates are
August 10, IL, IL, 13 and IA.

HELPFUL HINTS
AND SUGGESTIONS
From Kansas State Agricultural College
Kansas Council of Defense
U. S. department of Agriculture


Kansas Council of Defense
U. S. department of Agriculture
Kansas farmers need minimum
price fixed for 1918 wheat. They
must be protected against disastrous
decline in the value of the crop in
case the war ends before the grain
is sold.
Because of high priced seed, labor,
and machinery, farmers hesitate to
SOW even normal wheat acreage un.
less they are protected against dis.
astrous decline in prices. They
consider 81 at their station, or Sa.25
at Chicago, as reasonable mini
mum price. This is about equiva-
lent to SITS last year and perhaps
more than $r.25 at their station two
years ago.
An accurate survey shows that
Kansas farmers will sow 1000, 900
acres less than last year unless
reasonable minimum price is fixed
soon. Preparation of land and ar
rangements for seed must be made
now.
Oil and grease on tractor are
cheaper than repairs plus time lost
in obtaining them and getting start
ed again. Looking over all parts of
the machine regularly is just as i'm
portant as regular feeding and water
ing of horses. The wrong kind of
lubricating oil waists power and
fouls every working part. Get in
structions from the builders as to
kind and quantity of oil.
Sharp plows, it is further pointed
out by the committee, call for less
power from the engine to do good
work, hence less cost to operate and
longer life for the tractor. Length
ening of bitches between engine and
plow will often eliminate large part
of side draft, which is another way
of reducing the cost of the work. "A
good headlight, moreover, will
greatly increasethe usefulness of the
engine.
There are more rats in Kansas
than there are people. The 1000, =
900 rats in the state cost the people
not less than 81, 900, 900 a year, as.
serts, the committee on injurious
mammals, Kansas council of de-
tense.
Here are the charges against the
rat;
1t carries the germs Of bubonic
plague and of trichinosis.
1t gnaws matches and the i:sula.
ton of electric wires and thus causes
destructive fires.
1t gnaws lead pipes, ivory, shoes,
