committee represented a mass meet

had been called to make protest TO

Doctor Waters had received other
complaints OF the same kind from scat

he would at once attempt 10 ascertain
II the same conditions prevailed every

rect the abuse would be exerted.
The farmers should be receiving 81

and learned that the prices there we're
S2O5 for No. wheat. S2O2 for No 2
and s2.0l for No. 3. There is very

FOR NEW INDUSTRIAL FARM
Board Of Administration Seeking Slte
for Women's New instituton-5e-
lieve Need Pressing.

DR.. Wilbur n. Mason, former Cover
nor E. W. Hoch and Charles W. Green,
members of the new board OF admins
tration, have been making tour or
the state inspecting sites offered by
cities and towns for the location OF
the Women's Industrial farm. The
board recently located this detention
home for women temporarily at Lam
sing, on the states farm where wom-
on prisoners are kept.
On the big state farm just west OF
the state penitentiary at Lansing there
is but one building In which to house
women prisoners. This is an old Leav'
enworth county homestead OF some
dozen or more rooms, and II now is
filled to capacity
The board OF administration. there
fore, sees the pressing need of the es'
tablishment OF the new Womens In
dustrial farm as provided for by the
last session OF the Legislature. The in
stitution must be located near some
town and close to adequate railroad
facilities, and the water supply must
be pure and abundant.
The Women's Industrial farm is to
be the first OF its kind in the United
States, and ii is likely that its oper'
alton will be watched with much in
terest by other states that have the
same kind of problems to solve.
The board stated recently that there
would be no unnecessary delay in de-
gliding on the site. as there is press
ing need now for this institution with
suitable and adequate buildings for
caring for the women convicted OF
penitentiary offenses by the district
courts of the state.

Sign a Pledge Card

President Wilson recently said:
''In no direction can American
women so greatly assist in the Win
ming of the war as by enlisting in the
service of the Food Administrative
and cheerfully accepting its direc-
tion and advice" Have you signed
the Pledge Card yet? Are you
fighting for America or helping
Prussia? If you are economizing
in your use Of wheat, meat, butter
and sugar you are fighting with
America, but if you are wasting
food you are helping the Kaiser.
We should eat all we need, but
wisely and without waste. We can
do this by buying less. by buying
seasonable supplies, by serving
smaller portions, by using poultry.
game and fish in place of beef,
mutton and pork, by using corn
meal and other cereal f1ours in
place of wheat -four and by using
less sugar. To keep our own
soldiers and those of our allies in
fighting trim by furnishing them
the necessary food is our duty.
Herbert Hoover says that it is a
duty of necessity, humanity and
honor. As free people we have
elected to discharge this duty, not
under autocratic decree, but with
out other restraint than the guild
ance of individual conscience.
Are you doing your part to help
win the war?

Making Good Headway

About twenty men are at work
on the construction work in the
sidewalk improvement district.
The work is progressing rapidly
and several blocks of curbing have
already been finished. The con-
tractors have one of the latest type
concrete mixers and it mixes and
pours concrete as fast as the pres
ent crew can furnish material.
The big motor truck brought
down from Spokane does the work
of a number of teams and has been
used the past two days for hauling
sand, gravel and cement. A few
weeks of good weather will see the
sidewalks and curbing all finished
as the contractors are rushing the
work as fast as the size of the
crew will permit. They need more
men, however to get the outfit up
to maximum working capacity.

Save Enough Seed Corn

Special representatives Of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture are in the field in the corn
producing States of the Middle
West to complete the campaign for
the saving of a two-years' supply
of seed corn from the present crop.
Twenty emergency workers have
been sent to Iowa by the extension
department. Thirteen emergency
men are in Indiana and corps of
special workers will be assigned to
each corn-producing State cooper
ating with the State colleges and
agents. For several weeks the
county agents have been paving
the way for the campaign wind-up
now being undertaken. The cam
paigners go into the cornfeld with
the farmer, assist him in the selec-
tion of the best seed corn, and,in
its proper storage after selection.
The necessity of making absolutely
certain at this time an ample seed
corn supply both for next year and
the year following is being urged
as one of the most important agri-
cultural duties.

from the citizens for the purpose of
defraying the expense of erecting

and it has been suggested that a
brass or copper plate be imbedded
in the concrete and the names of
the boys who serve. during the wer
be engraved thereon.
