TAKING THE DROUGHT APART

Lawrence, December oath. It pro-
badly will be possible to predict the
droughts with fair degree of ac-
A. Shull of the University of Kansas
believes after a years work in the
| governments new effort to discover
what droughts are made of and how
to lessen their harmfulness.
Doctor Shul has charge of the gov
ernment's drought observatory at the
University and is now classifying the
daily observations for the station for
the nine months ending November 30
In that time the evaporation was &c.
378 inches, and the rainfall 23.6 inch
es. The annual rainfall in Eastern
Kansas is about thirty-six inches.
The weather bureau is making an
effort to establish at least one such
observatory in each state. Two were
established in Kansas in the fall of
1916, one at the University, the other
at Tribune. The evaporation at Trib-
une has run one, to two inches a
month more than at Lawrence.
"Of course, 56,37S inches of evap-
oration with a rainfall of only 23.6 6
inches in nine months indicates only
the evaporation from the pan at the
station and not the loss of moisture
from plants or the soil," said Doctor
-sshull- 1T also represents the loss of
water from ponds and rivers, but it
gives US fairly clear idea of the
action of the air in taking up mois-
ture and probably will enable the
weather bureau to predict a drought
week or two ahead. Through our
daily observation last summer we
could see the drought forming that
cut so hard into the corn crop. After
the cyclone June 5th there was very
little rain, only a light shower or
trace now and then until the middle
of July. Plants, however, didn't suf-
fer very much although every few
days the evaporation would be about
drought condition, which is 35 of an
inch of water lost from the open pan
of the station in twenty-four hours.
But the condition pointed strongly
to the drought which really began
July 18th, for after that day the
evaporation mounted steadily to the
driest month of 1917, 11.O61 inches of
water was lost by evaporation and
the rainfall was only .O5 of an incn
''If such drought forecasts become
pre- ctical they will enable growers t.,
lessen drought evils by cultivation
that mulches the soil and lessons
evaporation. The problem is to elm
mate evaporation from the soil and
let the moisture be evaporated
through the growing plants. Kansas
gets enough rain to raise much larger
crops. The problem is to keep it.
Last July when the drought began
the dry winds swept in day after day
from the southwest and they and the
sun sucked the ground dry"

cause a good many people don't un-
derstand the law and won't know how
to make out their returns, the govern
ments is sending in this expert to do
it for them. But the duty is on the
taxpayer to make himself known to
the government. If he doesn't make
any return as required before March
1st, he may have to pay a penalty
ranging from $50 to $1,000, pay
fine or go to jail. So if you don't
want to take any chances on going
come tax man If you are not sure
about being subject to the tax, better
ask him and make sure. Whether you
see the income tax or not, you must
make return if subject to tax.
Of course persons living in other
counties may, if they want to come
and see the income tax man who will
be at the place mentioned.
The collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his in
come and expenses so as to be ready
with the figures when the expert
arrives. Expenses, however, don't
mean family expenses, money used to
pay off the principal of debt, new
machinery, buildings, or anything
like that. They mean what you spend
in making your nloney-lnterest,
taxes paid, hired help, amount pail
for goods sold, seed, stock bought for
feeding, rent Except for your dwell
ing) etc.
Income includes about every dollar
you get.

New Yorker Comments

Quincy Ward Boese of New York city was aboard the Prin- cess Alice Friday evening. He is counsel for several of the largest banking interests in America.
 The vessel was in port long enough to give MT. Boese an op- poriunity to walk around town for an hour, and also to visit the locei bank. He expressed him. self as surprised at the amount of Gsiness done here. He was am .zed at the growth of flowers an6 vegetables. ''Wrangell, ' sail Mir. Boise, with its dense an rank growth of vegetation is sss like what one would expect in the tropics than in the far north. And with all this fine garden truck your people are surely making a dent in the high cost of living. There are few towns the size of Wrangell with such variety of resources, and doing the same amount of busi- ness. believe that Wrangell is destined to make a black dot on the map with a circle around it.

MISS BREECE TRANSFERRED
 TO DOUGLAS

The U. s. Bureau of Educa- tion is making what may be called a triangular change of teachers in the Indian schools of Wrangell, Douglas and Juneau.
 Under this arrangement Mrs. Edmunson, who has been sta toned at Juneau will teach the Wrangell school for the coming year and Miss Breece, who has been stationed at Nrangell for the past two years, will go to Douglas at a higher salary.
 Miss Greece, who has been en- inently successful here in indus trial and field work, has brought the local attendance at the U. s. Government Indian school to a high average, will be greatly missed by the natives of Wran- gell, whose interest Tn the edu- cation of their children has been greatly quickened by her efforts, and we congratulate the com munity of Douglas upon securing such faithful and untiring worker.
 The local chapter of the American Red Cross will also re- gret her transfer, as she has been most useful as chairman of the Publicity committee, and has spared no effort to advance the cause.
 The best wishes of this com- munity will follow Miss Breece.
