KANSAS WOMEN FAVOR
SHOOTING THE SPIES

What Kansas women feel to be the
proper treatment for spies was shown
today at the State Federation of
Womens clubs at Salina, when a
volley of cheers followed a recipe
suggested by Dr. A. M. Brodie, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church
of Wichita, who said "Stand them
against the wall. Then one, two,
three. Fire That's what I'd do with
the spies" He spoke ten minutes
on the villainy of Prussianism and in
conclusion added that if hell were
turned upside down it would prob
ably be marked made in Germany"

FARMING WILL BE POPULAR
Clubwomen Have Consigned Their
Daughters to Fields.

The Kansas girls might as we'll get
their unionalls ready for the farm
this summer as their mothers who
were attending the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs in Salina consigned them
to the harvest fields and any other
place on the farm where they can
be of service according to Abilene
clubwomen who have attended the
meetings there.
Not only are the girls to go to the
farm, but in a number of instances
the mothers themselves are going.
They said so. Mrs. Catherine Hoff-
man OF Enterprise, one of the best
known clubwoman in the state, and
wealthy and director general of the
federation. is one of the women who
said she was going to the farm for
work. Mrs. II. o. Garvey of Topeka,
president of the federation, said she
had a daughter with more pep than
strength, heartily approves the move
and said she was perfectly willing for
the girl to go to the farm. She be-
lieved many girls would respond to
the call Other women told of in
stances where their daughters were
going to help in the harvest season.
Not all are going into the field, but
they will find many things to do.
In most of the talks at the meet
ings yesterday the sentiment ex-
pressed was that there can be no
peace until the kaiser is canned
Mrs. J. E. Johntz of this city told
the clubwomen that she would send
a representative to the farm, not be-
ing able to do the 'work herself.

COLLECTION OF NUT SHELLS
 AND FRUIT PITS

A ation-wide campaign is being made for the collection of certain fruit stones, fruit pits and nut shells to be used for making carbon to manufacture gas masks for our sol diers overseas. The following are the kinds needed: Peach stones or seeds, apricot, prune, plum, olive and cherry pits, Brazil, walnut, hickory and butter-nut shells and date seeds. These stones and shells may be mixed and no matter how old, if sound. No other kinds are wanted except those mentioned above. 200 peach stones will produce carbon sufficient to pro- tect one soldier from German gas. and seven pounds of nut shells will do the same. You are urged to bring all you can this week to the Red Cross work room at Scott's hall.
 This is an emergency matter. It IS a question of saving the lives and health of our men overseas from German poison gas and every patrio- tic citizen in the whole county should be glad to collect all they possibly can.
