NERRAskA,s EXAMPLE

Reports. which come from. Nebraska indicate that the farmers there are taking the proper view of the food situation and are determined to do their utmost to relieve the situation. That is by nc means the leading state for the production4of wheat, but an investigation which has been made oi faru1iBk conditions shows that the area in that state which is devoted tc wheat raising will be increased by 25 per cent. during the coming sea- son. That is an encouraging prospect fo1 certainly there are reasons to expect that if the wheat fields of that state are to be. increased by a quarter it is going to mean under average condi lions a corresponding increase in pro- duction of this much needed cereal. This is certainly setting an excel lent example for other states where wheat is grown for if Nebraska is go. ing to be able to make such a re- sponse to the nations demands as
 this there appears to be no good req son why other states cannot at leas
 do likewise if not better. It must bt recognized that this is year whe1 everyone is expected to do his hes
 whether he happens to be engaged ir
 raising wheat, building ships, making munitions or turning out other wal
 supplies. The farmer certainly canno fail to meet his responsibilities ever though they are large and many ob
 stacles have got to be overcome Tn,
 country has faith in him and conf
 iently believes that he will never shov
 himself to be, a slacker-- The attitud,
 of the Nebreskans certainly support
 such confidence.

SMILEAeE.

SmHeage Is a new word which has been coined since the opening of the war and it refers to the tickets of ad- mission which are provided for. the entertainment of the soldiers in the cRntonments throughout the country It Is solely a government undertaking and whatever profit there is, if there is any. goes to the government, but it has not been put forth as a money making proposition.
 The purpose of the country ever since the establishment of the train ing camps has been to make condi- lions there as wholesome and benefi- cial as possible. In many ways have the relatives and friends Of the sol- diers contributed to such efforts. It is desired that there should be due attention given to health and morality, but it Is likewise important that the periods Of relaxation should be fully guarded in order to keep the> men under proper influence and control and to give them at the same time the recreation and entertainment which they naturally seek.
 With the purpose of making the danger period in the life of a>soldier one of healthful relaxation and re- freshment the government has erected large Liberty theaters in the various cantonments capable of holding thous- onds. The operating expense of these theaters. where moving pictures, lec- lures and proper entertainments are given for the admission price of ter cents, 1t has been planned to meet by means of the smileage books, eacf ticket in which entities a soldier tc admission. The smileage books or sale in all cities gives the people z further chance to help and safeguard the soldiers and it is an effort 1T which everyone should be eager tC participate. As has been we'll said where mileage means a span of miles snileagc means span of smiles.

GENERAL woob.

Whether there was any foundation or not for the fears that have been expressed that the administration would take steps to. see that General Leonard Wood was placed on the re- tired list because of the physical test which he would be made to undergo, such has been removed by the an- nouncement that he has appeared be- fore the medical board the same as other commanders, that he has passed the examination. and that he will re- turn to 9hts duties, at. Camp Funston. Such will be. learned with much sat. isfaction by the country at large.
 It is well known that General Wood las not stood well with the admins tration because of what he has be- lieved to be necessary in the conduct of the war. Before this, country en- tered the war it was evident that the administration intended to sidetracls him regardless of his experience and ability, by the manner in which he was shifted about, and now it is al- legged that there is increased opposi- ton to him because of the statements which he has made to the senate com :lnittee on military affairs instead q reserving his opinions following the return from Europe for the ears ol . the president
 In this connection, however. <. ]. should be reraeinbered that he: was
 summoned before the serate- commit fee to give the testimony which. h,
 did, that itiwas no part of shis plan and that it was not for him to asl the president to listen to him but i the chief executive had wanted to ge his views he should have been sum. moned to such a conference imme diately on his return General Woot Is too valuable a man to be .shuntes 10 one side at this time, and by nt
 means should this be done because tn

STORIES OF THE WAR
Leans for Life

Correspondence of The Associated Press): 4
 Leaps for life from burning ob- servation balloons when attacked by German airpianes were described, by observers of the British Royal Flying Corps to ana Associated Press cores pondent when he visited one of their camps behind the lines a few days ago.
 These camps usually are located just out of range of the heavier shells, all though still well within range of the German ,high-veiocity naval guns which devote their time to shelling the back areas. ~
 A balloon ascent at the front is never a light undertaking, and on one day recently when the correspondent visited a station in a fairly inactive part of the line, six balloons con taining twelve men were, shot down by German airplanes. all within sight of one. another. One of the German airplanes was doWned by anti-air- craft fire from the ground
 It WAS day when the visibility was put down on the chart as good T but there were many white clouds in the sky which offered good cover for the German airplanes.
