ture, Says Flora.

Wind, sunshine, rain and tempera-
ture-those are the things that make
up the life of a weather man, the
elements with which he deals all
day and night.
To hear S. D. ("Sunny') Flora,
weather bureau tell of the work done
at the bureau and of the records kept,
is to listen to the story of nature
forces as man keeps tab on them each
hour during the "a of the swing
around the circle.
Briefly, by means of delicate in
strUments, the weather bureau at To-
peka keeps hourly records of the di-
rection and velocity of the wind, the
number of miles it blows each hour,
amount of sunshine each hour, the
amount of precipitation each sixty
minutes, the temperature at the end
of each hour, the time rain begins
to fall and the time it stops and num-
erous other records such as the high
est and lowest temperature each day.
Complete daily records and maps
are made with comparisons with the
weather in other years. You can't
ask the weather man a question about
the weather during the years the rec
ords have been kept that he can't
answer. And of course it is useless for
the sun or the wind, the rain or the
temperature to lie down on the job

HOCH DER RABBIT
ShOrtgrass slack" Drafted in
War Against the Kaiser.
Army Contracts for 10 Carloads
To Feed q. S. Soldiers.

Hutchinson, Kan, Oct. IA new
foe for the kaiser-the Kansas jack
rabbit.
Outain the short grass country of
Kansas and, indeed, in other sections
of the state as well, new source of
power has been found to be used in
the war for democracy. the Kansas
jack rabbit. Uncle Sam has recog-
nized the usefulness of the animal and
already has planned to enlist his serv-
ices in the fight against German au-
tocracy.
In the western and central parts of
the state the jack rabbit is to be found
by the thousand. Always Kansas has
relished a rabbit dinner. Why not
make use of the rabbits by feeding
them to the nations soldiers? The idea
sounded so good the government in
vestigated and made a contract with
Coon Beck, manager of Riverside
park, Hutchinson for ten cars of the
animals.
Buying EN- 10 Cents Apiece.
The drive for the rabbits has be-
gun. Beck has started out a num-
Der of buyers who are offering 10
cents apiece for all rabbits delivered
in good condition. To handle the rab-
bits as they arrive at Hutchinson. cold
storage facilities have been provided.
The rabbits will be cleaned at the
storage plant wrapped in paper and
packed twelve in a box and shipped
by the carload to the east.
1t has been pointed out that in ad-
dition to furnishing a source of meat,
the killing of the rabbits will be a
great benefit to the farmers of the
state, inasmuch as the animals feed
on young alfalfa, corn and the choic-
est crops on the farm. The sportsman
who shoots rabbits this winter will
aid the government by helping to in
crease the meat supply, assist the far
mer by assisting him to save his crops,
and will receive outdoor exercise and
pay for the powder he burns by SELL
ing the rabbits he kills at 10 cents
each.
Jack Population Million.
1t has been estimated that there
are 100000 jack rabbits in south
western Kansas alone. Farther west
the rabbits are thicker yet The rab-
bit season has not yet opened as the
animals are not yet suitable for HUI
man consumption until cold weather
becomes general.
