Camp Doniphan, Fort Sill Okla,
Nov. 1.-THE soldiers at Camp DON
iphan are reading every day of the
thoughtful efforts of many of those at
home in looking after their welfare.
They are especially interested in re-
ports of anti-tobocco movements inau-
gurated in Topeka and elsewhere to
prohibit the soldiers of the nation
from using the obnoxious weed.
The soldiers do not intend 70 criti-
else those who have their interests at

feel that if the plans of the anti-tobac-
CO moralists were carried out success
fully, their personal liberty would be
somewhat curtailed. While not view

manifestations. the Kansas and Mis-
souri, warriors believe that their opin-
ions should coincide before such a
movement be started.

closely Investigated conditions among
the British, French. Italian and Bel

Deprived of Other Pleasures.
Articles in newspapers from men
and women who protest against send
ing cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco
to those in military service are fire.
quently brought to the attention of
the soldiers at Camp Doniphan. This
article is not necessarily the mouth
piece of the enlisted personnel at the
camp, but it does represent the general
consensus of opinion here. The at
titude of the men is this: They are de-
prived for the good of the service on
account of the necessity of thoro
training, of the pleasure of attending
theaters, picture shows, dances, etc,
as often as in civil life. Military auth
critics hold that smoking does not
hinder the service. Consequently the
men substitute an occasional cigaret
or cigar for these other pleasures. 1t
is a relaxation from the routine of
duty. On the actual firing line a
man can retain his composure with
tobacco much more easily than he can
by nibbling on a piece of chocolate
fudge That is evidenced by the great
quantity of tobacco being distributed
by the governments of France and
Great Britain to their soldiers.
This article is not meant to be one
in defense of the weed introduced to
the white man by the Indian. There
are many soldiers everywhere who do
not use tobacco. 1t may be Injurious
authorities differ. But tobacco in any
form is welcome to the great body
of soldiers and this should be made
known to those who care to contrib
ute to the funds for this purpose.

PART OF RAINBOW DIVISION
Organization Left This City
Evening of September 2.
Marched Down Kansas Avenue
in Glow of Sunset.

Nine hundred and fifty fighting
Kansans, comprising the 11Tth am
munition train of the Rainbow divi-
sion have landed safely in France In
cluded in the personnel of the officers
and enlisted men are, approximately,
thirty-five or forty Topekans. They
are the first men from the Jayhawker
state to land as a unit on the soil of
Europe.
The organization, better known as
the Kansas ammunition train, is the
one encamped at the Topeka fair
grounds last summer. 1t left Topeka
for Camp Mills, Long Island, New
York, the night of September 2.
Breaking camp at the fair grounds
late in the afternoon-it was Sun
day-the men marched to the Ma
sonic temple for evening mess, an
event which was conspicuous only in
that close friends and relatives
crowded the streets outside and wait
ing to follow the men to the train.
1t was not until the train, in COM
panies, swung up Seventh street and
down Kansas avenue to the Rock
Island depot that any part of the gen.
eral public found out what was go
ing on. The time of departure had
been kept secret with the exception
of to friends and relatives of the men
not been printed in the newspapers.
They Sang Tipperary.
With ranks in close formation, the
men marched down Kansas avenue in
the glow of a blazing sunset. 1t was
known that the train was to go with
the Rainbow division to France and
it didn't take those on the avenue
then long to catch on. Motor cars
were curbed, other traffic and pc
destrians stopped and the trip was
made amid handclapping, cheers and
the blare of motor claxons. For the
most part, the men were joviaI. They
sang, they cheered and whistIed.
From Fifth street to the depot the
tune was Tipperary.
At Camp Mills the train encamped
with the Rainbow division and was
one of the last units of the division
to sail for France. They arrived in
France the first part of this week.

STUDENTS HELP FARMERS.
Score of Boys from State Normal Do
Week End'' Harvesting

Emporia, Kan, Nov. IA score
or more of boys from the Kansas State
Normal school will assist nearby
farmers in harvesting crops Satur-
day. Arrangements for this co-opera-
ton have been brought about by
Charles R. Phipps, professor of agrf-
culture at the normal. The largest
contingent of normal boys, ten in,
number, will go to the Price Holmes
farm at Reading to shock 100 acres of
kafir and corn fodder which is al
ready cut. They will work under the
direction of Mr. Phipps.
The farmers will come after the
boys and bring them back to EN-
poria after their work is done; pay
them two dollars a day and give
them their meals. The same plan
will be carried out next Saturday and
during the Thanksgiving holidays.

Mrs. and Mr.. J. W. schrimsher.

aSchrimsher, according to his story,
sat beside a road leading out of
Springfield, Mo, one sunny after
npon in June, 1895. He was eating
his lunch when the glimmer of crys-
tals in an apparently ordinary rock
irs the sharp sunlight met his eye.
He picked up the rock and discov-
cred that one side had at one time
been polished. He examined it more
closely, to find that it was dimly in
seribed. With his knife he sought to
decipher the inscription by scraping
the side. He found it, Ire says, to be
a compass with the numerals "3-5-7."
To him they meant nothing.
1His curiosity was aroused and he
returned, he says, to the vicinity of
his find a few days later. A search
revealed a similar rock, less bright
than the first, but also bearing an in
scription-this time the numerals
was less than 1000 feet from the
FIRST, and Schrimsher pressed to find
others.
Puzzled at the, strange impressions
which each bore and meeting with
failure at each successive attempt to
learn their meaning, Schrimsher
finally set out with team and wagon

Private John Schlepitz, who has

Before coming to America, five

he took leading parts in the Herr

1t was like going over an old album of

seemed to be dancing the same dances,
bounding through the same waves, still
slipping their tea under the palms in
the royal gardens of the Poinciana.

He was rolling along briskly. She
did not know that he had caught sight
of her first and made off in disgust
and amazement at her discovery of
his new retreat.
She dared not run after him and
she could not keep pace with him. She
lost him in the maze of the bazaars.
Later she saw him riding in one of
the rolling chairs propelled by dar-
