OLD SOLDIERS LEARN TO
DRILL WITH NEW GUN

Every day old soldiers go to the
armory and practice with the army
rifle that Captain Browne has there.
This morning Lewis Teeters, giving
his own commands, went thru the
various lrills that he learned in the
Civil war and he did very well,
too. He frequently stopped to in
quire of Captain Browne if the drill
he did were the same as the recruits
do today. The bayonet of the rifle
interested him greatly as it is much
stronger and shorter than the older
ones. Mr.. Teeters left the armory
promising to return and take some
more lessons from Captain Browne.

). l.. PARKS MILL FIELD MGR.
Expert TO Have Important Place
With New Alfalfa Firm

j. L. Parks, who has been for
two years head of the Parks Grain
& Hay Co., has taken the position
of field manager of the new Denver
Alfalfa Milling e Produce Co.,
which is nearly ready to begin
operations. Mr.. Parks is an acqui-
sition worth having for tile new
Eiill as he has had a wide exper-
fence and is recognized as one of
the best informed handlers of farm
produce of every sort in central
Kansas, and he will prove first
class man for the mill
During the past few months Mr..
Parks has been agent for the Allen
car but has closed out all his cars.
He sold chummy roadsters to Bruce
Anderson of the Central Lumber
Co. and to Geo. Graves of Solomon
this week. Yesterday he drove up
from Kansas City for his own use a
new Jackson eight cylinder chummy
roadster that is a mighty handsome
car. He will enter on his work Of
buying alfalfa for the new mill at
once.
The new mill, which is'managed
by F. G. Baird, will be ready for
business early next week and has a
capacity of $1,000 to 10000 tons
Of alfalfa annually. 1t makes a
market for alfalfa above the usual
market price This mill is one Of
seven owned by the Denver Alfalfa
Milling and Produce Co., five being
in Colorado, one in New Mexico and
this in Kansas. The company has
an outlet for all the meal it can
grind and promises to be marked
success and an advantage to our
farmers.

KANSAS AND MISSOURI
TROOPS TO FORT SILL

The Fourteenth division camp
will be stationed at TT. Sill, Okla.
instead of Deming, Texas. While
Deming is probably the better place
yet Ft Sill is an ideal station and
the men will find it an excellent
place for recruiting. 1t is situated
among the hills so that the com
panies can have sham battles quite
easily.
Subject to approval by Major
General Bliss, acting chief of staff,
the following assignments Of ma
tional guard troops to concentration
camps has been made by the militia
bureau for the troops from the
western and central areas of the
country:
Iowa and Nebraska TO Deming

OIL AND GAS COMPANY
DIRECTORS DISCUSS PLANS

The directors Ct the Dickinson
County Oil & Gas Co. met last night
to discuss further plans for opera
ton. Three months ago they made
a drilling contract for test well
and drilling was to begin by July
goth but on account of the existing
war conditions the drillers have
failed to make good and were fore
ed to anull their contract. 1t is up
to the company now to secure an
other drilling contract which means
more time before operations will
begin. However, the company is ne
gotiating with several large com
panies and hope to secure contract
which will go thru.

X. n. G. TO BE IN TRENCHES
BY FIRST OF JANUARY

American soldiers are going to
France just as fast as transports
can be pressed into service to take
them. Just how fast this will be is
somewhat problematical. If there
were enough transports available
now, and the situation in respect of
cargo ships were satisfactory, it is
probable the great bulk of the regu-
lar army and the federalized militia
would be in France within the next
few months. 1t Is reported that the

WIFE OF AUSTRIAN
CHARGE SAILING
WITH BERNSTORFF
Departure Regarded as Sig

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE fact
g. that Baroness Zwiedinek, wife of
the Austrian charge d'affaires, is
sailing home today with the Bern
storif party, appeared significant
in view of the possibility Of a
break IN relations between the
United States and Austria.
Negotiations with Austria to re-
lax her Endorsement of Germany's
submarine warfare are still kept
secret. but as there are no signs
that she has changed her position,
it appears likely that a break can
not be avoided.
Ambassador Bernstorff's message
TO the capital before quitting was
an expression of hope that war be-
tween his country and the United
States would be avoided.
