WASH lNGTON, April l5.-The news of the resignation of Count Czernin, the Austro-IIungarian for eign minister. has led to much specu- lation among officials and diplomats here as to the causes which brought about the dramatic exit of the Aus trian official at a moment when, through his decided change of atti- tude toward the war issues, involving his complete acceptance of the cx- treme German views, it had been sup posed that he had strengthened his position.

about the consumer not getting all he
wants at the time, not word is said
about the price being in reach OF
everyone.
The Chamber of Commerce will
also do much work for the farmers
who will need seed wheat. When
the plans are ready any farmer in
terested may call at the Chamber of
Commerce room and ask all questions
he may deem necessary regarding the
plans. And speaking of the Cham
Der of Commerce at this time it might
be mentioned that it has placed more
than four hundred men at work
among the farmers of this section
this season, and further there are
hundreds of farmers to whom labor
was furnished who are not members.
The Liberal Chamber of Commerce
is ever willing to help the farmer in
any way possible and if the farmer
wishes it to continue along that line
he might become paying member or
induce others to do so. 1t requires
money to pay expenses and salary
for the secretary.
And now once more may we ask:
Have you your winter supply of coal?
An amendment to the Constitution
called the Permanent Income Amend
ment is intended to secure the same
war efficiency in education as in other
lines. 1t provides for definite in
come for the upkeep Of the State
schools. The difference between the
old method and the new is that in
stead Of having to appropriate for
State educational institutions each
session, the legislature will determine
their fixed and regular needs and es-
tablish levy sufficient for those
needs and that levy will continue I'M
til the need changes. This fund can
be used for the schools only and is
not available for other State ex-
penses. The Permanent Income
Amendment will take the. State in
stitutions out of politics, ard that
will help. 1t will make higher educa-
ton in the future safe for the Kansas
children and the electors at the polls
this fall will be doing that by voting
for the amendment.
There has been a demand for the
poison for grasshoppers. The farm
ers report that the hoppers are
threatening the crops and are greatly
increased in numbers. Here is the
cure for the evil: The formula re-
quires twenty pounds of bran, one
pound Of Paris green, white arsenic
or London purple, two quarts of
cheap molasses, three or four pounds
of finely ground chopped oranges or
lemons, and three and half gallons
of water. Mix the bran and poison
dry; then add the oranges or lemons
to the water and dissolve the mo-
lasses in the mixture; then wet the
bran and poison with the solution.
This mixture should cover four or
five acres. 1t should be sown broad
cast in infested areas early in the
morning. If the insects are moving
into new field strip of the mash
should be sown along the edge of the
field early in the morning. Some
times it is necessary to make add
tional applications at intervals of
three or four days.

out there yet? Hope you have so
you will make a good crop. Don't
worry about me, you keep the home
fires burning and l will get along fine.
We will be in detention camp about
fourteen days. We sure get good

We certainly have nice bunch OF
officers here and they treat us nice
if we treat them right and that is
what l am going to do. l want to

go "over there" as soon as ]. can, for
the sooner we whip them the sooner
we can be at home. A fellow feels a
little blue at times, but we will try
to keep that from our minds and
think about what grand old feeling
it will be when we can come home to
our loved ones. Well as | don't know

INCIDENTALS
R. M.

Much of the threshing is finished in
Seward county and from all reports
the yield is greater than the farmers
expected.
Wild plums have been abundant
this season and thousands of them
have been canned by the busy house
wife the last two weeks.
And now canned milk is on the re-
stricted list. No dealer is permitted
to purchase or have supply on hand
in excess of his requirement for sixty
days.
The broom corn harvest has been
begun this week in about every dis
trict in this section. A number Of
the growers were gathering the brush
last week.
If you want to go to Virginia and
work for the government call at the
Chamber of Commerce and report
for duty. Transportation will be
paid from Dodge City.
Burn less electric lights on Monday
and Tuesday nights. The fuel ad-
ministration deems this order import
ant and you should do it without hav-
ing to be compelled to do so.
A Kansas Photographer has an idea
that if the Food Administration were
to limit mutton for one day of the
week, it would become popular. The
same might be said of burro flesh.
The twenty-one-year-olds will reg
lister for the selective draft Saturday
and await the orders Of the govern
ment to be placed where the most
good can be done to fight the henious
huns.

ministration, and the prices of the
food stuff will be published eacl
week showing the wholesale and the
price at which the retailers SHOULD
sell.
Scrap iron is demanding a good
price at this time. Many farmers in
this southwestern section have great
piles of scrap iron about their prem.
Uses which would buy large number
of w. s. S. if the farmer has no other
need for the money.
Many Colorado and New Mexico
men are here to help care for the
broom corn crop. The men from
those states were great help to the
local farmers during the wheat har-
vest. The farmers say that the best
help they ever had came from Colo
RADIO and New Mexico.
The substitutes with wheat flour
will continue for an indefinite period
and the thing to do is to "carry on"
Medical authorities state that no
normal person will be injured by US
ing the substitutes and few people
will object to conserving the wheat
if it will help the boys whip the
prunes out of the Huns.
At the meeting of a number of
broom corn growers and workers at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
Saturday the matter Of wages to be
paid for help was discussed. There
is no fixed price on broom corn brush
and therefore it's only guess as to
what the market will be when the
brush is ready. After some discus
sion it was decided to fix the wage
at $3.50 and found per day for
pullers.
1t is known that during the Civil
War, under the rule of supply and
demand, sugar sold for 35 cents a

cause the crystalline compound to
demand a higher price, but the Food
Administration regulates the price,

PENROSE FERRY BRIDGE
UNDER FIRE AT HEARING
Rules TO Lessen Necessity for Opening
Draw Span Are Discussed

New rules and regulations governing
the operation of the draw span OF the
Penrose Ferry bridge across the SchuyI-
kill River may be adopted today at a
public hearing in the assembly room of
the Bourse.
The set of rules proposed and which
will be discussed at the meeting pro-
vide that tugs and small boats with
masts and other upright equipment be
provided with hinges so that the draw
need not be opened for their passage un-
less a tug has in tow a larger vessel
which makes this necessary.
The controversy over the rules gov
erning the operation of the span began
with a statement from Admiral Bowles
that traffic to Hog Island was being held
up because of the necessity for opening
the draw each time small craft wanted
to pass, thus tying up traffic for several
minutes each time the draw is opened.
Under the new rules vessels shall still
have the right of way over vehicles.
The district engineer, l.. d. Shuman, will
have a report from each individual owner
OF vessels here, with the height of masts,
deck houses and snokestacks, and he
will write out an order which gives the
vessel privilege to have the draw opened
A clause of the new rule Mr.. Shuman
will seek 10 have adopted provides for
use OF hinges on all smolSestacks or e
certain height and for masts OF . certain
height.
