BURBANK HAS NEW
 VARIETY OF WHEAT

The development of a variety of wheat which will yield five times as much to the acre as the average of wheat production throughout the United States is announced by Luther Burbank, the plant wizard" of Santa Rosa.
 Burbank'S announcement of the sue cess of his experiment comes ten years after he began work on wheat, and at time when wheat may be the big gest factor in winning or losing the world war
 According to Burbank, the average yield of wheat will run from fifty to seventy bushels an acre. If it is uni versal1y planted. he Says, the proGuc- ton of the present acreage of wheat could be doubled many times.
 Experiments as to the milling na- ture of this new variety of wheat are yet to be made.
 It will take some time to get enough seed into market to enable farmers to plant the new variety of wheat. Bur banks usual plan of distributing seed is to send it out through a big seed company, which in turn disposes of the quantity of seed to a few selected farmers, and plants some for more seed.
 These selected farmers grow the seed retaining enough for their own use and place the rest on the market as seed.

all over France behind the British front, and the water supply has been kept right on the heels of the ad- vancing troops all the while.
 Water carts have carried the water right up to the support lines, on hun dreds of occasions The water has been chlorinated in these carts, and the goods have been delivered exact ly to time. Chlorinated water is not pleasant stuff to drink at all times, even tea will not always disguise it's taste, but it's purity is guaranteed. That is the principal thing, for when a soldiers tongue is hanging out of his mouth with thirst he is inclined to chance things, and to drink any thing that may come his way.
 Horses too, as well as men require water. For them, huge canvas tanks have been erected and filled from a small iron pipe, running, perhaps, from a point seven or eight miles away. Steam pumps for deep wells have had to be brought up and fixed, and thousands of petrol tins, carefully cleaned and filled with water, have had to be stored in the trenches in case of any sudden emergency aris- ing.
 The Hun. too, is not idle. He cuts the water supply whenever possible. i 'Pmnk" comes a 49 on the top of a pipe. and "whoosh" away goes the water. The repair has to be done at once, and it is done Up come the sappers on the run and the break Is either plugged or the fractured pipe Is 1 cut out and another piece fitted 1T
 it's place. It all depends upon how
 hot the smelling may be, but not much
 time is wasted. That is how Tommy
 gets his water at the front.

 One point which has doubtless been made clear to exemption boards that the of the draft system depends upon the manner of it's adminstra- ton Success does not mean merely securing the re- quired number of soldiers, in convincing the pie of it's fairness its freedom from all improper influences If it should be otherwise administered it would the government popular confidence, which is sOrey needed.

LUCKY TO GET DIME

Bishop Wilberforce of Omaha said recently in a. Y M c. A. address: Too many of the stories about the boyhood of multmilionaires are just stories of selfishness and meanness taking advantage of others generosity-the sandwich yarn, in fact
 "A hungry traveller put his head out of a car win dow as his train pulled up small station and said to boy:
 ".Here boy, take this dime and get me a sand wich, will you? And, by the way here's another dime Get sandwich for yourself too'
 Thanks. boss'-and the boy darted away He re- turned munching a big, fine sandwich, just as the train pulling off He ran to the traveller handed him dime, and said:
 " Here's your dime back, boss. They only had one sandwich left. "-Washngton Star.

A Hard Row for SIackers

When stacker comes before the exemption board to show cause why he should not serve his country in it's hour of need he is going to have mighty comfortable time. His will be made little harder for him by the recommendation of Pro- Marshal General Crowder, and which some weeks ago was suggested by The Republican that the names of all persons exempted, with the for emption be published by the newspapers We imagine that claiming exemption would rather go than endure this publicity.
 In some places, though believe in Arizona, all the tricks of politicians the weight of "pull' and the power of drag" will be exerted but believe generally without result The exemption boards have been given sacred national duty to perform. The members have been selected with a view to securing impartial men with the courage to discharge their duty without favor. The publication have toned we think will make their work easier for them. And if they have unintentionaly erred in this publicity will perhaps discover the and pave the way an appeal for its correction.
 In their eagerness escape the draft hundreds of young throughout the country have married in haste. Under the instructions given the boards these men will have opportunity to study military customs in the draft army. Their chances for ex- emption small. Hastily won wives will prove poor
 There is another class which deserves special at- tenton and is to receive it. It is composed of men whose wives have been working regularly-until the draft was begun Now these wives are no longer working Their husbands, to escape army service have forced them to quit their jobs while husbands now husng for jobs appear the role of "sole support" The mere fact that is married and that he gives his wife Christmas gift or a birthday gift does that he is head of dependent family.
 One more stacker to be rounded up is the sudden farmer" who by the simple process of putting on pair of overas and living on fathers ranch hopes to establish farm residence which will bring him ex- emption. He will have bring stronger proof than that that he is necessary the agricultural speeding

 Fitch came to Phoenix and insti- tuted a search for Wason, assisted by police and county officers. Later it was learned Wason had gone to Los Angeles. His arrest followed and he was brought back to Phoenix He still had the passes in his possession but had spent all the S1S0 taken from Fitch's clothes.
