FOREIGN TRADE

'"Unless we continue to develop our
foreign trade after the war, we can have
no enduring prosperity. This statement
by Chairman Hurley, Of the Shipping
Board, should he given careful consider
alton by EVER american. Az this time
the winning 81 the war is the great ques-
ton and every possible energy should be
Bonded to that task. Having done all Of
those things which we can do in this be-
half, we should next fix our attention on
the fact that after we have won the war,
of which there can and must be no ques-
ton, we shall then be confronted with
the serious question Of ,paying the war
debt, which cannot be other than gigan-
tic. It was not many years ago when
politicians summed up all convincing ar
Ruments against the party in power with
the phrase "A Billion Dollar Congress"
The interest upon the war debt, after
the war is over, will be at least billion
dollars yearly. This only to pay interest
with no provision for meeting the prin-
cipal. To meet these obligations our
people must be more productive than
ever. Our industrial plants must work
with a greater efficiency. We must COM
mand more markets in order that our
greater efficiency may find an outlet
for its product and at price which will
provide the wages, which our higher
standards Of living will require.
The United States is country Of won
derful productive capacity and Of untold
natural resources. These have formed
the basis Of its wonderful prosperity. We
must dispose Of our surplus production in
foreign markets in order to find full en-
ployment for all industrial agencies

LABOR FAMINE

The government realizes the necessity
Of relaxing the labor laws to allow farm
labor to come into the country from Mex
leo and Canada The anti-contract laws,
iteracy test and So head tax laws have
been suspended for the duration Of the
war, but immigration is restricted to the
farm purposes. 8ES
The government is demanding that the
farmers pay the prevailing wages to all
such labor and retain Is cents day for
q fund to ensure deportation. The idea
is that all such labor shall be returned to
the country whence it came as soon as the
war is over and not acquire permanent
residence. State governments are asked
to provide for the distribution Of such la
Dor to sections of the state where it is
the most urgently needed to make crops.

Mrs. Irene Castle Star
In "The First Law"

DR.. Webb is once famous sur
geon who, his finances impaired by
an unfortunate investment suffers a
nervous breakdown and retires from
practice. Norma Webb. his beauti-
full young daughter, decides to take
a lodger in the Webb homestead to
exc out expenses. The lodger( proves
to be Hugh Goodwin, who is really q
very wealthy young man but who
keeps himself modestly in the back
ground. He spends the income Of
his vast fortune for the betterment
of the poor and depressed. No
sooner is young Goodwin installed as
a lodger in the Webb home before
mysterious events occur. A strang-
er appears, and demands that Norma
capitalize ,Godwin's friendship for
her by obtaining large sums of mon
ey. How Norma is extricated from

French Ace Got
Three Planes In
T50enty Seconds
(By Associated Press.l !

S9aris, Aug. 81. - Lieut.. Rene
Fonck, the famous French aviator
who shot down three German air
planes on August IA, as announced
officially Sunday, accounted for all
three Of them in the record breaking
time of 20 seconds.
Fonck went out escorted by two
patrolling machines. After. cruising
for ten minutes he surprised four
enemy two-seater battle planes fly
ing in Indian file with only few
hundred yards between each. The
French flier fell upon the first enemy
machine with his machine gun. It
fell in flames in ten seconds. Later
he got his sights on the second ma
chine with the same result. The
third lodged sideways before Fonck
could take aim and escaped. but by
a swift turn of the rudder he DASH
ed at the fourth airplane and sent it
down to join the first two.
Lieut.. Rene, Fonck, recognized as
the greatest French air fighter since
Captain Guynemer is credited with
bringing down so enemy airplanes.
OF these he downed six in one day
in the course of two patrols.

FARMERS MAY GET OLD TIES

Disposal of old railroad ties which
formerly were burned has lately been
made a part of the food and fuel con-
seryatiOn program in Kansas. Ties
taken out of the track because OF
unsoundness or decay often may be
used as fence posts, stills for small
buildings, distractions in gullies to
prevent soil washing and for numer-
Gus other purposes. In many cases
less than one-half OF the tie is un-
sound Very old and weak ties are
still useful as fuel. Resourceful
farmers living near railroads, especl-
ally in localities where timber is
scarce. thus can make excellent use
of large quantities of old ties and
save coal.
On the other hand, railroads de-
pend upon farmers to large extent
for moving right-of-ways and for
blowing fireguards to protect crops
from fire caused by sparks from en-
gines. The railroads also have
sought the privilege of building snow
fences on farmers land.
BY the new arrangements just an
nounced by the Food Administration
there will be full measure Of reci-
procity between the railroads on one
hand and farmers or persons desiring
old ties on the other. The plan was
developed by w. p. Times, Federal
Food Administrator for Kansas; F.
Fl. Reeves of the Food Administra-
ton Grain Threshing Division, and
A. r. Bracted, Executive Secretary
for the Food Administration In Kan
sas Hale Holden, Regional Direct
or in the Railroad Administration
under Director General McAdoo, APP

we estimate that nearly 100000
people eat at our public eatino nIooo,
hotels, restaurants. boarding
houses, clubs, dining cars and SO
iorth. The food consumption in
these places is larger than in the
average homes. We are asking the
proprietors and employees of these
institutions TO undertake in many
particulars more strict program
than last year, and we are confident
that they will willingly do this.
This is not rationing-a thing we
VIII never have if our people con-

We are simply making an appeal to
the intelligence in the homes and

work out for themselves the means

This year as last | believe we can
accomplish the necessary ends by
voluntary action of our people. The
Willingness to assume individual re-
sponsibility in this matter by the
vast majority is one of the greatest
proofs of the character and idealism
OF our people, and | feel it can be
constantly relied upon. Our simple
formula for this year is to further re-
duce consumption and waste of all

ternational Food Program that, ex-
cept for a moderate substitution of
other cereals in bread, it will not, we
hope, be necessary to substitute one
foodstuff for another. nor to resort
to wheatless and meatless days.
What we need is to reduce directly
our consumption of all foodstuffs,
laying especial emphasis on the
staples. The allies are in need of all
the surplus of the great staples that
We can provide.

in the United States study its food

not buy less, serve less. return moth

WHO CAN VOTE

There seems to be a misunder-
standing as to who are entitled to
vote at the general election on No
vember ;. 1918, and this eXplana-
ton is made to clear up that section
of our law in reference to register
ing to be entitled to vote
A person does not have to vote at
the primary election to hold his reg
istration.
If person lives in a country pre-
cinct and voted there two years ago
and has not changed his place of
residence ne is still entitled to vote
at the general election in that pre-
cinct.
If person lives in an Incorporate
ed town and voted in that incorpor-
ated town at the city election two
years ago, even if he missed the gen
eral election two years ago, he is
still entitled to vote at the general
election.
In no case is the person required
to vote at the primary election to
hold his registration, and the regis
tration books in incorporated towns
are open for transfers from one pre-
cinct to another precinct in that
town at all times except ON election
day.

- Section men, foremen or 9TH
er employees will be allowed such old

land. under the direction of road
master and division superintendent.
4. Old ties may be disposed Of
TO The public at such places as there
may he a demand for them at such
reasonable prices as may be deter
mined by the proper officers, provtd-
ed ties can be picked up by the prr-
chaser without expense to the rail
way company.
-. On divisions and districts in
wooded country where there is no
demand for old ties, and on other
divisions where ties can not be lis
posed of in accordance with the pre-
ceding paragraphs, old ties will be
burned under favorable weather con
ditons so that the right-of-way VIII
be kept cleaned up"
This conservation measure has
been heartily received in Kansas and
is now under consideration in other
states.
