where the stream empties into the
Adriatic Bad weather and the rising
Of the Piave under the heavy rainfalls

withdrawal of the Austrians. But the
Rome war office asserts that it was
the impetuous attacks of the Italians
that brought about the failure OF an
operation which was started with the
intention of crushing the armies OF
Gen. Diaz and forcing the Italians,
Nike the Russians, to accept a "eu-

In extraordinary numbers.
SO hurried was the retrograde move

that they did not take time even to at
tempt to save their guns and stores,
great quantities of which now are in
Italian hands. All but one of the
bridges left for the Austrian retreat
across the Piave have been destroyed
by the Italian artillery.

A GROWING REPUTATION

That Warren Farmer is econ
noiseur" Of the heavenly phenomena
no longer admits Of a question; and
from season to season his reputation
as weather prophet is spreading the
width and breadth Of the southwest
land. What recourse Warren has to
those powers which control the hea-
vens and causes them to open their
windows with shower Of mamma"
upon the sweltering fields and pas
lures Of southwest Kansas is only a
matter Of conjecture. But suffice to
say, there are two ways Of winning
off Mr.. Farmer. One Of them is
this: II you are really needing rain,
60 around and shake a roll Of bills
in his face, at the same time making
the assertion that it will not rain dur
ing the course Of the next week. If
he covers the amount you have de-
posted on the desk, go out on the
street and bet your last nickel that
1t rains within three days. It will,
for it's just like playing loaded dice
on the other fellow.

Of Defense and should have said the
first and third Friday Of each month
at the tWomen's Club Home.
The spirit of patriotic service is
shown by ten women who are working
for the Rock Island in the mechan-
ical department. The work is light
and clean, and in the main consists Of
only lining box cars that are much
needed for shipping wheat Men
could not be secured for this work,
and W. B. Taylor found ten loyal
women, among them Mrs. w. B. Tay-
lor. The only service worth while
now is:work, not words
can not refrain from giving men
ton of the meeting June % at Wide
awake. They deserve their name,
and each one did his and her part
loyalty. The meeting was held in
the beautiful little church and a
large flag decorahes the wall, and un-
der the flag, a Service flag. John
Boles was the leading spirit Of the
occasion, and while l did little to
inspire them, he handled the "going
over the top" and they went over.
Their quota Of $3663 was reached
and almost $4,000 was subscribed.
Miss Kate Wright, the efficient secre-
tary Of the Seward county chapter OF
the A. r. C. presented the Red Cross
work in q splendid way and with the
help of Mrs. John Boles the founda'
ton was laid for a Red Cross Aux
iliary in that community. A social
time was enjoyed later in the base
ment of the church, and ice cream
and cake were served for the benefit
Of the Red Cross. Every family Of
the SO was represented and the COM
munity spirit was beautiful. Chas
Ellsaesser was the transportation
committee and is absolutely sure in
carrying heavyweight" speakers.
Long live Wideawake.
Kansas, ever loyal, has returned
voluntarily more than one million
pounds of flour to the food admins
tration. We want our splendid boys
to have the flour. God bless them
and keep them and nerve their arms
to strike the death blow to the

ton to bring peace to the world
We want to keep the "glow in Old
