Are Your Hands Idle?

Patriotism has rarely had so many
practical ways Of manifesting itself as
in the present time. Sometimes we
have felt that for the most of us it was
largely talk, but now the way has been
made so plain that anyone who is
ready to help has the opportunity to
do so. If any pair of hands is idle
it Is because they choose to be so.
The chance to work and the chance to
sacrifice are privileges open to all.

 Must Have Coal Reports.
 H. c. Couch, U. s. Fuel Admlnls- trator, is insisting upon regular work and accurate reports of coal distribu- tion by each county chairman of the state. All dealers are required to be licensed. When permits are granted for individual or collective buying of a carload of coal, it could be defin- itely understood by those receiving the permit that the distribution will be reported to the County Chairman immediately the car is unloaded. This will greatly facilitate the keeping of records, that distribution may be granted.

 $1O,5OO For Girls School. At noon yesterday the committees soliciting funds for the Girls Indus trial School, reported a total of $10,- 500 raised in this city. Most gratify- ing reports are coming in from other counties, and the prospects are most favorable for the raising of the full amount.
 There was one interesting incident at the luncheon. A boy who had been on probation was entering the mili- tary service, with the consent of the authorities. He said that he wanted to help, but he had nothing but a War Savings Stamp, which he would contribute to the cause. The stamp was auctioned to the highest bidder, and sold to L. k Snodgrass, the drug gist for $15.

LIGHT AND DARK SQUADS WORK FOR
 DR0OPING BOMBS
Long Raids Carried Out During the Day-Follow
 Ky. Lines By Night.

Behind British Lines in France,
 Sept. 1 Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-The working month of Night Bombing Squad
 ron in France is divided into two periods which are are known as the
 Light and the Dark.
 The Light period covers the moon
 lit half of the month. Should it be attended by fine weather, great aer- ial activity prevails. Practically any
 raid that is possible by day, can be
 carried out equally we'll at night dur
 ing this period, for although certain
 details are not clearly visible, the es. sential feature of the ground stand
 out clearly and can easily be followed.
 The ease with which targets can
 be found depends very large< on their
 geographical position. Water is the
 great guide for night flying, and on clear moonlight night it can be seen from, great distance. Hence targets situated near river, canal or lake present no diffuclty whatever as re- gards their being found.
 Railways, too, if they. are in use,
 prove excellent guides, for the rails
 shine clearly in the moonlight and can easily be followed. Woods, espec- ially if they are of peculiar shape, make good landmarks, for the black mass, which shows up we'll in the
 moonlight can be quickly identified on the map. During the Light Period most of the long raids of the squadron are car
 ried out. The Dark period, the moon- less nights, is much less active time. Flying in then done chiefly. by the aid of compass, but on clear starlit nights raids on targets such
 as factories with chimneys or blast furnaces whose glow lights up the sky for miles, map be carried out satisfactorily. On still night com pass course can be flown quite accu- rately, but unfortunately there are comparatively few nights on which the wind remains constant It either
 changes in velocity or direction, and
 in the air it is difficult to distinguish
 these changes. A machine; is very like 1, ly to be blown out of it's course sew eral miles without the pilots know ledge. Therefore only short raids are undertaken, and thus the risk of pill ot's completely losing their bearings is minimized. Often two or three short raids are carried out in one night.

Kansas Women Figure in Bloodless, Bulletless Bat tie to Save the Wheat Crop While Male Harvest ers Are Fighting in France.

. IL will be noticed that the men are mentioned last in the order of battle formation. And that is where they belong. For had 1t not been for the women and children, a large part of the bumper crop would have rotted on the ground.

 Songs Warmly Received.
 About two and a half months ago the donor and authoress of these songs sent sample copies to the camps and from this time some request has been received by her asking for ma terial with the desire that the eXpen- ses be defrayed by the one making the request.
 An extract from the following let ter shows the mark of appreciation and esteem in which the songs and music were received by the boys in the camps:
 s'During the past week a sample copy was sent here to the Committee on Training Camp activities and the boys here received it with hearty ac- claim"
 "Could you favor us with the or chestrations to your song: You Can Count on Uncle Sam for Victory?" This is for war work use here at Camp Sheridan, Alabama, and we would like to use the song providing we can get orchestrations to it, as we use band.

 In addition to the above letter many others of a similar nature have been received. Including letters from de- partments at Washington. An order was received from the war depart ment on training activities this week. by Mrs. Eienkramer requesting sev- enty copies be delivered to the song leaders of Liberty Theatres.
