V =; II GOOD JOBS WENT
TO DRILLED MEN

More than half of the. conscripted
men who have been drilling every
Wednesday night for the last two
weeks will be leave next Friday for
Camp Taylor at Louisville, Ky. Drill
master Myron Malsby is anxious that
other men who have been drafted but
who have not been attending the drills
take the place of the men who will
leave after Wednesdays meeting.
The Importance of the drill is shown
by the fact that every one of the men
who had any kind of drilling before
going to Camp Taylor with the first
five percent were given non-commis-
stoned offices. The drill will be held
Wednesday night at 7:S0 O'Clock on
North A between Tenth and Eleventh

THE GOVERNOR pRocLAIMs.

Inasmuch as the Federal Govern.
ment, acting thru the Women't
Council of Defense, has requested
voluntary registration for service
and the signing Of food pledge cards
by women of America; and having
full confidence of the loyal desire Of
the women of Kansas to cooperate
in every way possible with the
government in the war we wage in
defense of American ideals.
y Now, therefore, Arthur Capper,
Governor of the State of Kansas, do
hereby designate Wednesday, the
9th day of September, nineteen hum
dred and seventeen Women's Reg
istration Day in this state, and most
earnestly request all women of the
state of the age of sixteen years and
over, to present themselves for reg
istration IN the manner as shall be
provided by the Women's Council of
Defense.
1t should be clearly understood,
however, that the act Of registration
is to be entirely voluntary and is
made solely "for the purpose of dis
covering definitely what each wo-
man can do to the greatest advance
ment Of her country and herself
during the war" and to aid in food
conservation. We may devoutly pray
that victory will not be deferr-
ed until our land has been drained of
able-bodied men as have the lands
of our allies; we may hope that our
tasks that have fallen to the lot Of
their sisters in Europe; but we may
be sure that victory and peace and
the restoration Of normal conditions
will come the more quickly and the
more surely if every patriotic citi-
zen man and woman, voluntarily and
cheerfully, does that part which he
or she can best do, both in actively
serving the nation and in producing
and conserving the nations re-
sources. To eliminate duplication of
work; to coordinate effort; to bring
the opportunity of service to every
woman it is highly important that
systematic methods be adopted; this
requested registration is the first
step in establishing that necessary
systematic order.
The State has no funds with which |
to carry on this work, therefore wo-
men who desire to make contribu-
tions to the funds needed to carry
on the work Of the Women's Council
of Defense at the time of registra-
ton, may do so, but such contribu-
ton shall in no case exceed the sum
of ten cents.
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I
have hereunto subscribed my name
and caused to be affixed the Great
Seal of the State of Kansas. Done
at Topeka, the capitol, this goth day
of August, A. D. 1917.

1t is singular fact that few men
having found out how any thing has
been done their first conclusion is
that God did not do it. No matter
how wonderful, how beautiful, how
infinitely complete and delicate has
been the machinery which has work
ed for centuries, possibly for thou
sands of centuries to bring about
beneficient results-if they but catch
glimpse of the wheels, its divine
character disappears. The machn-
cry has done it all. 1t is superflu-
GUS to look further, it's. all "evolu-
ton" But creation and creator fit
like a man and his shoes. See, for
instance, how admirably the birds
are adpated to flying, shaped fea-
theirs, hollow bones and powerful
wings; fishes designed for swimming
and life in the water-shape, smooth,
scales, fins in pairs and gills for
breathing under the water; land ami
mails for walking and running on
solid ground, feeding on the grass or
catching special prey; wings for air,
fins for water and hoofs for solid
ground. The trees, made to stand
firmly by their roots, with perpendi-
cularly balanced branches, moderate
flexibility adapted for shade, or bear
ing fruit, abating the violence of
wind and good for lumber or fuel.
Consider the bark of these trees
as related to their nourishment and
growth. Can any fair-minded read
er of this article bring himself to be-
lieve that some blind mechanical law
planned and worked all this out?

A problem which has pre-
sented itself for solution be-
fore the tax payers Of School
District No. g embracing
Monte Vista and vicinity-is
the matter of providing ade-
quate school facilities for the
present school population. The
large building shown in the ac-
companying cut was construct
ed some thirty years ago by
Contractor Shakespeare. This
was soon overcrowded by the
growing of the community and
later on additional school
buildings were erected. OF
these, the Marsh school was
finished seven years ago and
the situation today is relatively
the same as it was then
Monte Vista has outgroWn her
school facilities.

PROPOED INCREASE IN
FREIGHT RATES GIVEN
UP BY The RAILROADS

Denver, Colo, July 5, 1917.
The efforts of the railroads to
obtain a Is per cent increase
in freight rates in Colorado
terminated today when, upon
application of the railroads,
the state public utilities COM
mission granted them permis-
sion to withdraw the tariffs
! containing the proposed ad-
vance in rates. At the same
time the commission issued an
order cancelling the hearing
which had been set for July 10
for the purpose of inquiring in
to the reasonableness of the
proposed increase.
The action of the Colorado
railroads in withdrawing their
request for a Is per cent in
crease in state rates is general
ly accepted as a direct result
of the decision by the inter
state commerce commission,
last week, in the interstate rate
case, which involved the re-
quest of the railroads of the
country for Is per cent in
crease in all interstate freight
rates. The interstate commits
sion granted the eastern rail
roads an increase amounting
to approximately four per cent
upon their present revenues.
while it allowed the roads of
the South and West only an in
crease in rates upon coal and
coke.
The federal commission
held that, with the few excep-
tions mentioned, the earnings
of the railroads failed to show
they are in need of the relief
applied for. 1t stated, how
ever, that if, later in the year,
conditions so change that the
carriers actually need relief,
the railroads may then again
submit their case for consider
alton. In withdrawing their
tariffs for Is per cent in
crease in state rates, the rail-
roads in Colorado did not indi-
cate whether they will apply
for an increase at a later time.
altho it is believed that if con-
ditions change they will follow
in a general way, the sugges-
ton of the interstate commerce
commission.

A large gathering of the po-
oto growers of this district
psS @ held last Saturday at the

ace regarding the shipment

mem made it very clear that

A committee was appointed

On account of the above in
