ABILENE BOYS IN S9TH
DIVISION "GOING OVER"
Men Who Went Two Weeks Ago
Also Left Camp Funston.

The seth division at Camp Funs-
ton is on its way Somewhere, an
account being given in the Reflect
or's dispatches today. II is believed
that over 100 Dickinson county men
are in this division. What seems
rather peculiar is the fact that men
who have been at Funston nearly a
year and others who have been there
only several weeks are all "going
over together.
Sergeant George Keel, who has
been at Funston nearly a year left
with the seth division. Stewart
Laney and other Abilene boys who
have been there two weeks also
went When all the men at Camp
Funston have gone, it. is not known
what will happen at Funston. At
present no announcement has been
made as to what will be done but
the local board will continue to send
men there.

LIST OF DEAD IN TORNADO
NOW NUMBERS TEN.

Every available man from the un-
damaged portions of Ellis county
was pressed into service today in re-
leving the districts swept by the
tornado last night The death toll
stands at ten with perhaps a score
more injured, some critically accord
ing to telephone messages received
at the local office of the United
Telephone Company.
Every motor car in Hays is being
used to carry the workers to the
scene and to bring out the injured.
Gangs are building fences, rounding
up stock and erecting temporary
shelters for the stricken people. The
property loss is estimated at $780,
600. II is believed now that the
damage to the telephone company is
much greater than told in Tuesdays
Reflector. The twisting wind began
at the James Mcintosh place, fifteen
miles northwest of Hays and swept
northeast from over a strip a mile
wide. The tornado ran course OF
over 35 miles.

all. He came back and took his old
place behind the counter of the old

CITIES ASKED TO SUPPLY WORK
ERs FOR FARM.
Salina II Asked To Furnish 600
Men, Herington 2S2. Junction
City to Give 2S3
Workers.

Abilene will be asked to furnish
22l men and Harrington 232 men as
this eounty's share OF the 10000
men asked for in recent proclama-
ton by Governor Capper, TO volun-
teer to go TO the farms during har-
vest and help TO make up the labor
shortage that is certain to face the
state at that time. The original es-
innate OF $4,000 men has been re-
duced TO $4,000 because OF reports
Of large numbers OF men from out
side of the state who will come here
TO aid in the annual harvest.
II is urged that every man physi-
cally able, and who can make him
self available, enlist in this under
taking, regardless of his age, for
labor to harvest the crops is no less
important in winning the war than
the need of men on the firing line
or need OF money. Any failure in
the food supply would seriously
cripple the efficiency OF our fighting
machine, which is OF first considera-
ton, and leave the civilian popula-
ton of this country and OF our allies
on short rations If not actually face
to face with unappeased hunger.
Urge Farmers 10 Tell Needs.
II is urged that farmers who will
need labor in the harvest fields iile
their requests early and employ their
laborers prior to the wheat harvest
in as great a degree as possible
These requests can be filed with the
federal labor bureau offices located
at Kansas City, Wichita, Hutchin-
son, Abilene, Parsons, Dodge City
and Topeka, or with their county
agents.
Abilene and several nearby towns
are asked for the following men:
Abilene 221, Herington 1872, Salina

CatarrhaI Deafness Garnet Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There IS only one way to cure catarrhal oea1ness' and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an iu- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube IS perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be destroyed forever. Many eases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inhamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir culars free. All Druggists, 75c.
