Railway company regarding the FEAST
bility of keeping the windows of all
cars open. Porter also suggested that
open trailers might be used in taking
care of the increase in traffic due to
the rain this morning. Patten said
that under ordinary conditions they
could handle the traffic but that
wet morning always increases the
number of persons riding the cars.
Potter suggested that many people
who own motor cars and who ordi-
narily use them to come down town
In the morning should continue to do
SO even tho the motor cars get a lit
tie wet. The idea is to do everything
to prevent the crowding or congesting
OF many people in small places.
City to Aid in Every Way.
This morning the city commissioners
met upon a request made by Commits
sioner Porter. Porter placed before
them the situation confronting the city
in the present emergency The COM
missioners voted that Porter should
be assisted in every way possible. He
is to be permitted to spend whatever
money Is necessary in hiring people,
buying material or anything which it
is necessary in order to provide the
greatest possible efficiency in COM
batting the epidemic.
Doctors have been urged to volun-
teer thier services in investigating re-
ports of cases which come in to the
public health office, but according to
Doctor Clark they state that they are
so busy they do not have any time to
devote to the assistance of the city
authorities. 1t is hoped that the as
sistance of many doctors can be pro-
cured soon.

Nurses or any people trained in the

Doctor Crumbine, in his statement
to Governor Capper, pointed out that
the influenza is essentially a crowd

from close contact, the only way to
check it is TO keep persons away from

template smashing back the Hun to
fore diplomacy, by any chance. gives
Germany a chance to withdraw I'M
hindered.
Military men are delighted over the
developments of the west battle line.
They foresee that the German re-
treat eastward between Cambria and
st. Quentin and the American smash
ing of the Kriemhilde line. are the
forerunners of a general withdrawal
that will free northern France and
Belgium of the enemy. They think
that this retirement can be accom-
plished before winter sets in.
Express Displcasure.
Military men privately express dis
pleasure at the idea of granting the
German a chance to evacuate occu-
pied territories and haul his armies
out without damage. AS the west
front situation is now developing, they
say the German is destined to suffer
heavy in his retreat.
This fact is evidenced by official re-
ports showing that the British bagged
5000 prisoners Tuesday.
The present retreat is viewed as the
direct result of the incessant hammer
ing all along the western line. Foch
has kept the Hun in doubt as to his
next move and has made the shifting
of reserves a difficult task, Now. he
has shaken the hold of the boche on
every important key of the western
front and a. severe punishment is in
store for the fleeing Germans.

BARBERRY AID TO KAISER
Plant Responsible for Wheat Stem
Rust Should Be Uprooted Now.

common barberry plant, however at
tractive and inoffensive it may look,
is an ally of the kaiser. Dig it up,
urges L. e. Melchers, plant patholo-
gist in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
In states farther north the barberry
has been one of the most important
factors in spreading stem rust of wheat
and thus lowering the amount of flour
that may be shipped the soldiers and
allies of the United States. While so
far the plant has not spread rust in
Kansas to a noticeable extent, the oc-
currence of certain seasonal conditions
might cause heavy damage.

a million and a half bushels of seed
corn for 1919 planting will be selected
and saved in farm bureau counties
during a seed corn drive now being
conducted by the county agent leaders

county will save 1868 bushels.
Since the 1913 crop is reported as
being only 38 per cent of the state's
normal production, and the usual seed
corn reserves were exhausted in plant
ing the 1918 crop, extraordinary eff
forts must be made this fall to insure
sufficient seed of good quality for next

berger, county agent leader.
Seed corn quotas have been assign
ed to farm bureau counties. on the ba-
sis Of one bushel of seed corn dor ev-
cry three acres of corn normally

have been large since it is anticipated
that as in the past, these counties in

A slight change In sentiment regarding
corn was noticeable after the close. Prices
have declined ~ to s6 cents since Septem-
Der 26. and as liquidation has been
thorough. there was some disposition to
take the buying side on the extreme breaks.
At the same time with the country getting
extremely uneasy over the political develop
ments there are some who fear that a sell
ing wave Is likely to occur on the part of
it. However, there are many who say
they are waiting for corn to get around the
dollar mark before taking hold. From the
short covering. there were several traders.
who took profits around the inside and
went long, regarding the market as more
two sided for the present. than at any time
