This is not the time to play poll
tics. The momentous question is to
end the war with as little blood cost
as possible. President Wilson's
every act has proven the wisdom of
the American people in selecting
him to be President. He is today
not only President of the United
States, but is the World, Greatest
Citizen The splendid men in con,
gress who are heartily supporting
President Wilson should all be re.
elected in order to help him in the
great work which lies out before
him. The present member of Con.
gress from the Second Missouri
District, Judge Rucker, is one of the
ablest men in Congress. He is
needed in that body for the good of
all the. people. This is no time to
change to crafty the personal am
bition of anyone and the people of
this District are going to express
their opinion next Tuesday. The
sentiment of the entire country is
supporting the Coneressmen who
have been loyal to President vii.

Kansas Wheat Harvested.

The Kansas wheat harvest. with
a yield now estimated at more than
106 million bushels, is over and de
spite the apparent shortage of labor
which threatened the farmers it
was not necessary to call out the
vast army of reserves who had
been solicited to sign up for harvest
work That a great many of these
reserves, however, went into the
harvest fields is conceded, but they
went along with the rest of the har-
vest army. looking for the jobs
rather than having the jobs search
for the men. The success with
which the great undertaken! OF
gathering 100 million bushels OF
wheat within six or seven weeks, is
accre dited to the extensive operation
of the federal employment service
which reached out TO every nook
and corner Of the state where there
was need OF harvest workers.

If Congressmen were elected SIM

then the Democrat would not be for
Judge Rucker, because he has had
that honor. We are for Judge Ruck.

is the duty of each and every Con
gressional district to send the man
qualified. Judge Rucker is that man.

Mr.. Boyd has in the past been
ambitious to serve the people on
many occasions. In every case,
heretofore, the Democrat has been
for him. because in our opinion he
was better fitted for the place to
which aspired than was his oppo-
nents. In the present instance the
Democrat is for Judge Rucker be-
cause it believes that his ability, ex-
perience. honesty, knowledge of the
duties. just what to do, and his
willingness to do hard for the good
of his constituents in particular and
the United States and the world in
general, make him the man best
qualified for the place.

lion dollars by farming. The writer says:
Folks often say to me, 'Hopley, you

here when the country was young and
land cheap. You got in on the ground
floor. OF course you worked hard, but
you were lucky. What could you do now
adays? What would you do ii YOU were
young man, poor and without your
present experience? You couldn't make
it.
"They make me tired If ! were a
young man again-25 or 30-and had nv
wife here with me, Id make good again:
and here is how ! would do it: | would
hire out to farmer as farmland.
would get $50 month, for that is the
wages of our hands, and they are not as
good men as | was. But that is not all.
| would get a garden, chickens. and
COW. At the end of a year | would have
earned 5000, and | would have every cent
of that 5000. | would have fed the fam
lily and kept ourselves on the products of
the garden, the chickens, and the COW. |
would work another year. BY that time
would have earned ST 200. / will allow
5000 for unforeseen and unavoidable ex-
penses. would have 81 900 left. But

may appear in British trenches on the
Flanders front, as a result of studies
now being made both here and in Europe.
If the project is carried out, American
units will be passed through the British
training system from receiving camps to
finishing courses in front line trenches,
drawing supplies and equipment from
British sources, until graduate battalions
are withdrawn for Incorporation in Gen.
Pershing's army.
The plan is development of a pro-
posal made at the time of the first meet
ing of the war council.
The plan has met numerous practical
objections here, which also occurred to
Gen. Pershing in forwarding the sugges-
ton.
In its original form, the plan contem-
plated the training of $50 infantry bat
talions of 1000 men each through Brit
ish facilities.
