Outing Club Luncheon.

4 very delightful social affair was
the ladies' luncheon given at the Out
ing club Friday afternoon. The club
house itself was unusually attractive,
the keynote of the decorations being
red geraniums against the richness OF
their own leaves.
Places were laid for forty-five at the
luncheon tables, which included a
number of little folks, who had a
separate serving, and proved most
interesting adjunct to the occasion.
marked the very edible
menu served by the club house matron.
During the hour following, Miss Ruby
Whitman sang group of three songs
in a pleasing way, accompanied on the
piano by Miss Ruth Donaldson. Visit
ing provided further entertainment
Mrs. J. W. Young was chairman of the
re, who had the arrangement
plans in charge.

TIN HAT is USEFUL BUT
NOT so VERY BECOMING
Some British Soldiers Never Will Get
Used to 1t.

London, Aug. 19-The "tin hat" at
the best of times looks rather like a
bad practical joke.
Nevertheless, it has saved many a
valuable life. Some of the old Mons
veterans still regard it as an invention
Of doubtful utility. One day one of
them was struck on the head by shrap-
mel and the only thing that saved him
from instant death was his steel he'll
met On coming round his ungrateful
verdict was:
"Shook me something 'orrible, that
did. never did like them tin 'ats!"
Tommy is now an expert in finding a
use for his possession. He will use it
as a saucepan, seat, a washbasin, or
a weapon; and it is no uncommon
sight to see couple of eggs boiling
in one of them, minus the lining, over
a blazing ground fare.
But if he is ever photographed in it.,
it is certainly not from choice!

Iowa Boys With the Tooth Ammunition
Train Get Royal Treatment This
Week Mt Hands Of Chicago
People.
ENROUTE SOMEWHERE EAST'
Go to Ball Game Free and People do
Everything Possible to Please
Them.

Iowa boys who are members of the
1O9th ammunition train, are getting
royal treatment in Chicago this week.
The organization is from Camp Cody,
and has stopped off at Chicago Ser
geant Robert Farquharson, who is Wis
itirg his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. S.
Farquharson, 1928 Ninth street, Des
Moines, tells the Capital Of that city
that the boys are having the time Of
their lives in Chicago, and that folks
there can't do enough for them.
Lemonade For Them.
The company is camped near a
settlement of foreigners, but even
these people work early and late to
do things for them. Following drill,
families along the street come out
with great pitchers of lemonade and
grape juice for the boys. They bring
them all sorts of "eats," the sergeant
says.
Just few days ago, the Des Moines
boy and some companions went into
a little foreign bakery, to buy some
doughnuts. The woman in charge took
them into back room, which was part
of her home, put on a coffee pot, and
insisted that they sit down for lunch.
And she wouldn't take any money for
the big meal she served her soldier
guests.
Free to Ball Game.
Everywhere they go, it's the same
the sergeant says. Restaurant keep
ers give them cigars and cigarets.
And just the other day the whole am
munition train was admitted free to the
White Sox park, to see doubleheader
between two big league teams. After
the game, some philanthropists in the
crowd started a hat going among them,
and collected more than 5000 for the
soldiers.
The Iowa troopers are roofing for
Chicago.

Coningsby Dawson, writing home to his father
from the trenches, says that he can aim at the
enemy and shoot him without the least hatred in
his heart, that he feels that his shot is for the
welfare of mankind, and even in the long run,
good for the enemy himself. And that is the spir-
it in which Americans should fight, 1t is the same
old fight of the powers of righteousness against
the powers of the evil one in whatever form your
individual ideas may shape that master of hades
The popular form just now of this hell-master has
a shrivelled left arm, naughty air of assumed
power and a characteristic upward curl of his mus
tache. Strength to the arms without hatred in
the hearts, of those who fight the kaiser and his

SEED BED PREPARATION
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
Big Increase in Wheat Yield Can BE
Secured by Proper Methods.

The preparation of proper seed
bed for spring wheat is of vital i'm
portance this year in our campaign
for increased wheat production, says
Mr.. j. w. Paxman, dry farm special
list of the Extension Division of the
Utah Agricultural College. The fol-
lowing is Mr.. Paxman's message to
the farmers:
"If Utah farmers are to increase
their wheat yield by one million bush
els next year, which they must do if
they meet the request made Of them
by the food administration, they must
not only increase acreage, but they
must increase the yield per acre. Cor
rect varities of seed, proper cultiva-
ton, and careful harvesting are all
very important factors, but factor
of major Importance and one often
overlooked is the prearation of the
seed bed. BY a proper packing of the
soil, using one of the special machines
now constructed for this purpose, the
yield can be increased as much as five
bushels per acre. Rolling the land
after planting is not satisfactory. 1t
does but half the work. The ground
can be properly packed with correct

A Hint 10 the AGED.

II people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded TO 90 to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be less
danger of the cold being followed by
any of the more serious diseases.
