PLANTS NOT EXPENSIVE
Community Canning Factories Urged
by State Defense Council.

Establishment of community can
ming plants in Kansas vegetable pro-
ducing districts was urged today by
the state defense council sub-commit-
tee on gardening. Kansas boys and
girls. may be enlisted in the canning
industry and the surplus from COM
munity plants may in some instances
be placed at the disposal of the Red
Cross society.
Community plants may be installed
at expenses ranging from $3.50 to $500,
according to information furnished
today by members of the committee
Organized canning clubs will be urged
in all communities where such organi-
cations would be practicable. These
clubs will be under direction and su-
perviSion of a teacher or instructor
and truck gardeners would be urged
to develop soil conditions for produc-
ton of maximum crops.
In many localities, it is probable
that boys and girls from the public
schools will be enlisted in the service.
These juvenile farmers and gardeners
may be paid a nominal sum for their
services. In communities where the
garden stuffs are donated or bought
for a nominal sum, it may be sold and
the money applied to the purchase
price of canning plant equipment.
Where community plants are estab-
lished, the Red Cross society may be
made the recipient of any profit from
the industry. The purpose underlying
the movement is to produce and con-
serve the maximum amount of garden
stuff from Kansas gardens and truck
farms

FOLLOW YOUR WORK.
Womer Urges Students to Enlist
Where They Can Do the Most.

Specialize in your future work now
and offer your services to the nation,
was the advice of Farley p. Womer,
president, to the WashDurn men VINO
were thinking of enEsting in the pro-
posed regiment recruited from kansas
colleges.
ITO serve your country, not in any
position, but in the position in when
YOU can give more, is real patriotism
To fight as a private in the ranks, is
real patriotism, too, for some people.
But men with training along a GER
tain branch of science, business or pro-
fession who do not follow the branch
of service for which they are trained,
are nearly not patriotic" he stated.
The government will need men IN
all branches of service very soon, and
it is the hope of President Womer
that his students will enlist in branch
es directly connected with what his
college has been teaching them.

TRAINING CAMP PLAN
10000 of 10000 Officer Recruits To
Be Selected After 3 Months.

Washington. May A full outline
of plans for training the first 10000
officers = for the first 100000 troops
raised by selective conscription was
made public today by the war depart
ment.
After three months instruction at
the training camps the 10000 officers
for sixteen infantry and two cavalry
divisions will be selected on merit
from the total of 10000 and assigned
to regiments which will be called to
the colors month or two later. The
other 10000 men who are found quail
fed will be commissioned in the Off
GERS reserve corps and called out for
duty as needed.
For the first of their training the
officer candidates will be organized
into fourteen infantry companies and
drilled as such by regulars and ma
tional guard officers and such of their
own number as may be qualified for
command. Then they will be organ
lied by individual fitness into nine
infantry companies, three batteries of
artillery and two troops of cavalry.
The departments statement lays
great stress on the fact that mature
men, schooled for responsible posi-
tions will be sought particularly in Sc
lecting the first 10000. In later train
ing camps younger men are expected
to predominant

ON AN EQUAL FOOTING
State Banks of Kansas Want to Par
ticipate in Liberty Loan.

One thousand state bankers are Will
ing to participate in handling the war
loan, but they want equal recognition
with national banks. That was the
substance of a telegram which Senator
Walter Z. Wilson, state bank commits
sioner, today sent to Secretary of
Treasury McAdoo.
The war loan bill provides that state
banks and trust companies may share
equally with national banks under an
order by the secretary of the treas
ury. Recently, though, the federal
comptroller of currency directed that
funds for bonds be placed in national
banks. This action meant the with
drawal of state banks subscriptions
from state banks to be placed in fed
eral banks. Commissioner Wilson to-
day protested against this action
In his telegram, Wilson said:
''One thousand Kansas state banks
are willing to help handle the Liberty
loan. We ask you to recognize state
banks and trust companies as depos-
tories for money received from sale
of these bonds in accordance with
law authorizing the issue. 1t will not
do to drain state banks of deposits at
this time"

GIVES HIM CLUB
Proposed Food Law Makes
President Dictator.
Can Knock Out Spectators and
Limit Prices.

Washington, May 4-The United
States may feed itself and the world
without interference from rapacious
food gamblers. and President Wilson
will be empowered to be food director,
if the Lever food bill now in the house,
becomes 3 Jaw.
The measure gives him unlimited
control over food prices, distribution
and other elements of food, clothing
and such necessities of life. Herbert
c. Hoover. food expert, due here to
day, may be the man upon whom act
ual operation of such measure would
devolVe.
Lever expressed himself today as
hopeful that the power conferred N
the bill would not have to be operated,
but he held it advisable that the
president should have the dictatorial
authority in view of the possibility that
the whole world will have untold mil
lions of hungry mouths in the months
ahead.
Covers All Necessities.
AS framed, the measure is stronger
even than the recent proposals of Sec
rotary of Agriculture Houston. 1t pro-
poses:
That the president shall have
arbitrary power to fix prices on
food, fuel, clothes and like neces-
stiles.
That he shall regulate production
of commodities and that he can
commander factories and mines.
That he can prevent gamblers
bottling uH supplies.
That he can compel rail Ids to
move necessities ahead of other
freight.
That he can limit or prohibit use
of foo6stuffs in manufacture of
intoXicants
That he can prohibit dumping of
foreign goods by imposing restric-
tive import duties.
Lever and other government author
ties feel that the bill will serve as i
club over the heads of unscrupulous
food spectators and for this reason
may never have to be put into actual
ODera ton.
