This little frock is of white wolfe
with fancy stitching and shocking In
blue. Blue wash satin is used for the
collar and cuffs and for the narrow
belt, and tiny white crochet buttons
finish them of. Shocking takes care
Of the fullness of the frock at the
front and provides, at the same time,
a decoration that outlines the jacket.
Feather stitching appears at the top
Of the hem and at the neck and across
the shocked front of the dress. The
sleeves are three-quarter length. For
a tiny girl Of four to six or seven years
the blue satin may be left out and
wolfe used for belt, collar and cuffs
outlined with leather stitching In
blue.
White Isle stockings and low black
slippers are appropriately worn with
this attractive little dress. 1t is dur
able and inexpensive and 1t is not at
all difficult to make. All these are
good points that will recommend It to
sensible mothers.

NATION WIDE SURVEY

Made At The Request Of The Secre- tary Of War And The Surgeon
 General Of The Army.

Jackson County is anxious to make a5 proud record as other counties and to this end all women throughout the county who have had any instruc- ton in Nursing, or who have had practical experience are asked to come to the office of the County Nurse at the Court House and fill out a blank which will be furnished, stating the extent of their abilities. This covers the following: All Grad uate Nurses, Pupil Nurses, Under graduate Nurses, Trained Attendants, Practical Nurses-those whose train ing has been limited to correspond ence course, or whose hospital ex- prience has been less than isx months; or whose knowledge of Nursing has been acquired chiefly through private Nursing of cases-Midwives.

FRENCH ARE TAUGHT
 THE AMERICAN PLAN
 OF FILLING THE SOIL
(By The Associated Press.)

Salina, Kassas, Oct. 31.--Harry Muir, although but 23 years old, has been put in charge of a "model" farm in France to show the French agri- culturists how to farm on the Ameri- can plan. Muir is the son of Sa- line. county farmer, R. A. Muir. In order to take advantage in modern and scientific methods on his fathers farm, young Muir attended the State Agricultural college at Manhattan, from which he graduated.
 Muir, however, did not go to France on a farming mission. He was in the first draft and after training at Camp Funston went overseas early this year. In April he was assigned to the garden service in France with a commission as sergeant. A month later he was made manager of the large 1,5OO acre farm on which he had been working. His ability to speak the French language was an important consideration in receiving this appointment.
 The American methods are reve- lation to French farmers, writes Muir. He has available all the latest improved farm machinery manufac- tured in this country, and now oper- ates fifteen tractors. Imagine the amazement of the French soil tiller who has been accustomed to his one horse plow-or in. case he hitches up a team, he puts them in tandem fash-

SURRENDER oF TURKS FOLLOWS
 i BRIEF FARLEY ARMISTTCE TOOK EFFECT AT
 NOON TODAY. With Turkey And Bulgaria Out Of The War. And Austria Hungary Falling With Her Armies, Ger
 mans Are In Bad Straits.
.4e,soe AUSTRIANs CAPTURED.
Associated Press Summary.)


 Following an armistice between Turkey and the nations at war with Ter, which went into effect at noon today, Turkey has agreed to surren- der her armies internationally. This important piece of news was announc- ed late this afternoon and reached Ahe United States through Montreal from London. Earlier in the day news reached Washington that Great Britain had officially received defin- .ite peace proposals from Turkey which were regarded as tantamount to an unconditional surrender. While ahe surrender of Turkey was ex- pected, as it was to be demanded of her, the quickness with which the surrender followed the agreement of an armistice came as surprise.
 With the crumbling of the Turkish armies which places that nation de- 1initely out of the war, comes the news that disaster threatens the Austro-Hungarian armies as they re- treat from Italian territory. Allied troops are advancing rapidly along the entire front from Lake Garda to the Adriatic. From the manner in which the allied wedge is being driven in east of the Piave it is to be judged that the intention of the allies appar- ently is to outflank the Austrians on the north and in the foothills of the Alps and crush them from both the north and west.
 American troops are participating in the advance of the Italian tenth ar my, which already has reached the outskirts of Sacile, fifteen miles east of the Piave.
 The total of Austrian prisoners IS approaching 10000.
 Meanwhile fighting activity on the western front in France is virtually at a standstill.
 Sanguianry fighting is going on at Agram, capital of Croatia, Slavonia, according to private message for warded to London by the Amsterdam correspondent to the Central News.

(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Oct. 31. The entire Italian front is ablaze. A Central News dispatch from Rome says III the Italian armies are now in action. The retreat of fifteen divisions of tho Austrian army operating between the Brenta and Piave has been Eut- off through the capture of the Yadat mountain pass by Italian and allied troops. Official wireless dispatches from Rome say this advantage is be- ing pressed to the utmost and that q crisis is near. Enemy losses are de- scribed as appalling. The occupation of Quero valley by the Italians threatens Feltre and exposes the Austrians in the Grappa region to flanking movement, which, it is said, will compel an immediate retirement. The third Italian army on the lower Piave is advancing despite desperate resistance. One thousand square kil-s ometers of Italian territory was re- occupied yesterday.

 Most, if not all Christian churches throughout the land, if called upon in their assemblies to vote on the ques- tion of favoring or opposing wars, as an abstract proposition, would, un- hesitatingly, declar against war, but when the very foundation of peace, the very bulwark of our liberties are direfully threatened by the most ty- rannical oppressor of political liberty the world has ever known, by the greatest and most powerful military organization that has ever existed when Christian nation after Christ ian nation, of lesser political and mil itary strength and power has been ruthlessly overrun in violation of ev- cry heretofore recognized law of na- tions and in contemptuous disregard of every heretofore sacredly given pledge; when Christian mothers and daughters and sisters have been de- bauched and their n-combatant fa- thers, husbands and brothers slaugh- tered without provocation or justifi

In response to letter from post. master stating that residents of g particular community declined to buy war savings stamps on the grounds of belonging to a religious organiza- tion which opposes war, the follow ing letter has been sent out by the postoffice inspection service:
 Our government is a democracy "of the people, by the people and for the people," and the people of your community, of whatever persuasion are a portion of that people who con- stitute this government, each having 9 voice in determining it's policies. The policies of democracy are de- termined and properly so by a ma jority of the electorate, and when in it's wisdom and it's patriotism that majority has decided by proper me- thods and has spoken in legal and proper manner, every loyal member of the minority should become one with the majority and do all in his power to carry out the policies de- creed by the majority. Permit me to suggest that any other course, be it only lukewarm indifference, in the present situation, is giving aid and comfort to the enemy in a negative, but very effective way.
 "The principal corner stone of this government is a guarantee of political and religious liberty to every citizen, and every citizen is protected fully in the privilege of worshiping God ac- cording to his views and the dictates of his conscience. Every member of the 'Penticostal Nazarene church has been protected in his person and prop erty by this government and its con- stitution and laws, and submit that each owes to the government that thus protects him his undivided, un- wavering support in it's Titanic un- precedented struggle in the cause of that liberty so dearly prized, so com- placently enjoyed, that it may con- tinue, and may be extended to the op- pressed of other Christian lands whose people have suffered so griev- ously under the iron heel of tyranny which so direfully threatens to en- slave the civilized world.
