From what reports I have heard.
Austria is not nearly so near starva-

The other man was an Austrian con-
nccted with the Austrian embassy in
Berlin.
Treated as Aliens
Thee Austrians living in Berlin
have to report to the police when
going from city to city, almost as
aliens do. 1t seemed strange to me
that any restrictions would be put
on them, but they are.

men who would be permitted to read
them or get an opportunity to do so,
would be few.
And any soldier who would try to
spread sedition would be promptly
shot.
We never can hope for help from
the German people, to end the war,
in my own opinion.
So far as l can see. the only thing
to be done is to crush the Kaiscr's s
power and then show the German
common people what liberty and
freedom means.
And that should be done soon.

BIRDS OF WAR

The latest fad of the Germans on
the western front is brilliantly painted
aircraft. The British pilots report
many Enthusiastically colored machines
belonging to the Germans. Fighting
in the air is a matter of individual
combat, and the German machines are
painted so brilliantly to prevent mis-
taking one man for another.
American Indian heads adorn the
sides of American machines. Most of
the German aircraft are scarlet, but
just recently machines have ap-
peared with every color imaginable
painted on in stripes. crosses or
other designs. Often one wing will
be painted scarlet and the other vio-
let. 1t is evident that the Germans
do not want the Allies to mistake
them for friends.

AMERICANS EAT MORE CHEESE
Dairy Department Gets Requests For
Information on Making Product.


Cheese-all kinds of cheese, Swiss,
Roquefort, Camembert, cottage-yes,
even limburger is growing very popu-
lar with a large majority of people.
But the idea of making cheese on the
farm and the value of American cheese
is being discovered. Requests for in
formation on cheese-making have
been received by the College of Agri-
culture here. from twenty-six states as
a result of a press bulletin sent out
recently by the College of Agriculture.

ment, says that he has inquiries from
all sections of the United States. He
has also had ten letters from Canada
Americans seem to have come to
that economic condition in which they
will De obliged, to great extent, to
follow the Italian example and make
cheese the real backbone of their
war time dietary. The staid culinary
habits will no doubt be upset, for
cheese has always been thought of as
an appetizer just to end up a meal or
midnight feast, and has always been
associated with indigestion and bad
dreams. Now comes the war time slo-
gan: Cheese, scattered from the door
is the chaff of life.

INSECT PEST HASN'T HIT
MISSOURI FARMS THIS YEAR

Insects have given the farmers less
trouble this year than usual because
there weren't enough bugs last fall to
even satisfy the ravishing appetites
of the grasshoppers, turkeys and
chickens" says w. T. Anderson of the
Boone County Milling Company. This
statement is verified by T. ]. Talbert,
entomologist of the extension service
of the College of Agriculture, who has
visited several sections of the state,
and has received many favorable re-
ports of the insect conditions in this
state.
Mr.. Talbert says the hessian fly has
given less trouble this year than it
has for five years. This is DUE" he
said. "to cooperation of the farmers
through the College of Agriculture in
combating the flies at the proper time
last fall. Another reason for this is
that the ground was dry last fall at
seeding time and continued to be dry
for several weeks. The flies live only
about five days and the seed didn't
come up until after the flies were dead.
If the farmers cooperate in control
ling the hessian fly this fall as they
did last fall there will be no material
damage resulting from this pest next
year."
The chinch bugs have given trouble
this yeaf In some sections of the
state they have attracted much atten-
ton especially in the Missouri River
valley between Kansas City and st.

THE BOONE COUNTY FAIR

The Boone County Fair Board has
decided to hold its annual fair, not
withstanding the decision of many
nearby counties to cancel their dates
this year on account of the war. Oc-
tober 9 to II, inclusive, has been set
as the date for the event and plans
are under way to make the fair this
year bigger and better than any held
before.
The decision of the board and the
hearty response of outside organiza-
tions to contribute to the success of
the event is another mark of Boone
County's enterprise. Rather than be-
ing an argument against holding agri-
cultural and stock exhibits, the fact
that the United States is engaged in
war against Germany is reason for
exerting every effort toward encour-
aging greater efforts along this line.
The ability of Germany to hold out
for three years against her array OF
opponents has resulted from her
great efficiency in every line of ac-
tivity. 1t is up to this country to
rival this efficiency especially in the
production of foodstuffs. This is the
duty of the farmer in the war.
Everything is in favor OF record
breaking fair for Boone County. The
absence of fairs in nearby counties
should attract farmers from those
counties to our own undertaking. The
lateness of the date will make better
and larger exhibits possible. And
the people of the country have been
aroused to the agricultural needs of
the hour. Let the farmers of Boone
County take full advantage of this
opportunity.

PLENTY TO EAT FOR "SAMMIES'
New Drafted Army to Be Fed by
Corps OF $500 Chief Cooks.
BY United Press

by United Press
WASHINGTON, August 17.-How
well Americas $4,000 drafted Sam
mics" will be fed when they enter
cantOnment camps next month was
outlined for the United Press today
by Quartermaster General Sharp's
department. Thirty-fve hundred chief
cooks are being mobilized. They
will average 225 to each camp. About
10000 assistants will be employed to
help the chefs. New cooks will be de-
veloped among the drafted men as
they are needed.
Estimated at AZ cents a day per
man. it will cost the government $685.
$40 day to feed the first 6S7,000. In
the bill of fare is found a Sunday
breakfast of canteloupe, oatmeal with
sugar and milk, fried pork sausage,
hot biscuits and coffee.
Dinner-Vegetable soup with crou-
tons, veal a la creole, boiled rice and
fresh string beans, lettuce salad, ice
cream and cake, bread and ice water.
Supper-Potato salad, bread, jam,
iced tea, veal croquettes.
This menu holds up in quality and
quantity throughout the week.
"Its is not intended" said an Of
flcial today. that bill of fare be
blindly followed, but that it be used
as a guide to variety, quantity and
cost in the locality where the troops
may be stationed"
