 Tell the Red Cross ladies it's the ones who think they are doing the least things that are really doing the most Nothing could help more than the bags. It isn't necessary for them to be perfectly white; light ones are just as acceptable. It is foolish to hem them for as soon as they are soil. ed they are discarded.

Should Muzzle Capper.

There is always something the mat
ter with Kansas. 1t it rains. she is
drowned out; if the sun shines, she
is burned up. Crops are either too
large or too small, to hard or too
soft; the country is either overrun
with tramps, or labor is hard to pro-
cure. Just now two calamities are
threatening that state. Somebody
(and we observe that it was a man
who wanted to buy, rather than sell,
grain) went out into a cornfield and
found an ear of soft corn, SO 60 per
cent. of the crop is pronounced. unfit
for human consumption. Then, the
Government drafted $1,000 young
men, not half of whom came from the
urban population, SO the shortage in
farm labor next summer is set down
at 10000 men, and the crops are 60
ing to waste, for the want of harvest
ers. For Heavens sake. somebody do
to pacify Kansas and her
hysterical Governorl If nothing else
can be done, abolish Camp Funston,
or recall the Kansans from the front
and put them to work on the farms.
Maybe censor for Governor Arthur
Capper's mouth would be just as sat
