which the directors feel it their duty

wages necessary to keep sufficient

has made the cost of support even
surpass the estimates submitted to

Was Mrs. King Killed By Ger
man Agent Who Intended To
Kill Means?

It is alleged now that German spy
who intended to kill CASTOR Means
fired the shot which killed Mrs. Maude
King, a wealthy Chicago widow, near
Concord last August, and for whose
murder CASTOR Means, her business
agent, was tried and acquitted. An
agent of the German government
wanted to silence Means because OF
information he had secured while IN
German employ prior to his connec-
tion with Mrs. Kings business affairs.
A warrant has been issued for c. b.
Ambrose, who was active in working
up the case against Means and who IS
charged with having misrepresented
himself as an agent of Department
of Justice, thereby perpetratlng
fraud upon the State.

new CAMP ORDERS
Women Arc Allowed at Funston Only
on Certain Days.

Camp Funston. Kan, Feb. 1s.-A
new bulletin has been issued from
division headquarters in regard to
passes for women within the camp.
The new orders differ little from
those issued before, except provisions
are made for women visiting at the
Kansas and Nebraska regimental club
houses for enlisted men.
This paragraph heads the order:
The governing principle regarding
permits for women to visit Camp Fun
ston should be recognized as: Women
are not permitted in camp"
AS before, the first Saturday in each
month will be women's visiting day,
and from 10 a. m. until thirty minutes
after retreat" that day, women will
be permitted in all parts of the camp,
including the barracks. Organizations
may serve lunch to visitors the cost to
be settled by payment to the company
fund So the mothers, wives and
sweethearts will have a chance to eat
soldiers Chow" occasionally.
Except on the first Saturday of each
month, women visitors to the camp
will be restricted to the following
places: Between 1880 a. m. and $40
D. m. the Golden Belt highway. hostess
house, division headquarters office
building, Union Pacific station and
those parts of the Depot street and
Sixth street between the station and
the hostess house.
Between $50 and $50 in the eve
ming, women will be permitted in the
hostess house and at the adjacent cleo
trio car station. They will be required,
however to leave camp by way of the
electric cars or by vehicles on the
Golden Belt highway.

CHEERS Them UP
Houston Optimistic About Big
Crop Prospects in 1918.
Labor Problem Acute, but Sure
It'll Be Overcome.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Prediction
that the country's farmers will over
come this year, as they did last, diff
cultles In respect to labor and other
wise, is made by Secretary Houston
of the department of agriculture, but
he stated that there should be no let
up this year in efforts to better the
record of last year and to conserve
food.
1T is clear that it will be econom-
ically wise and advantageous for the
farmers of the nation to put forth
their best efforts during the coming
season to equal and, if possible, to
exceed their record of last year." said
the secretary in statement. In
spite of the large production in many
directions during 1917, the situation is
not satisfactory. The supply of wheat
in this nation and in the world is in
adequate. Whether the war continues
or not, the demand in this country, be-
cause of the increasing population and
the needs of Europe, will be great.
They will continue to be great for
considerable period even after peace
returns. There will be an especially
strong demand made on this country
for meats and livestock.
I'm some respects the farm labor
situation may not be quite so difficult
as last year, altho it will continue to
be especially acute in certain sections.
there will not be a renewal of ur
gent demands in many sections for
labor for such work. The draft regu-
lations provide for the deferred clas-
sification of skilled farm labor. The
population of the country has in
creased somewhat within the past
year. The secretary of war has asked
congress for power to furlough SOL
diers of the national army for agri-
cultural service, if necessary.
Urges Labor Cooperation
Bearing these matters in mind, it
seems likely that the farmers by ex-
ercising their talent for cooperation
and organization with such assistance
as can be furnished by governmental
and other agencies. will again be able
to overcome the difficulties. The de-
partments of agriculture and labor
are continuing to develop their or
CARNATIONS to assist farmers in Sc
curing the labor needed in their oper-
atoms. They are especially planning
to assist in the transfer of labor from
community to community and from
state to state.
Specific suggestions are now un-
der consideration for the spring cam
paign and will be made public in the
near future"
