For the first time the hunger news" from Austria seems to have taken on a turn that appears really encouraging to the entente allies. This, with the repulse of the last violent attack on Italy, would seem to threaten serious internal disturbances for the Austrians, and even break with Germany.

The awful suffering of the populace in Austria, as related in the latest news, can but bring the reflection that, after all. that was the nation that made the outrageous demands on Serbia and caused the war. The fact that it was prodded into it by Ger many is the only extenuating circum- stance

The kaiser's desperation and mono mania may force him into yet more extraordinary efforts to bring the war to quick decision. The growing strength of the allies, his own waning strength, the imminent collapse of his vassal, Austria, and the growing dis content among all the Teutonic peo- pie, weakened as they are by want of food--all these may drive the mad man of Berlin to more unrestrained outburst of frenzy and violence.

farmers who specialize - dairymen,

1.-THE truck with capacity Of one
or one and one-half tons seems to be
the most popular, and it is better
adapted to the wide range of uses on
the farm. The truck has numberless
advantages over horses. It saves
time, is cheaper-providing there is
enough work to do-and it stands

AUTO TRUCK is OUT
OF THE LUXURY CLASS

The auto truck is no longer lux.
ury but almost a necessity for the
successful Kansas farmer, thinks W..
H. Sanders, instructor in farm mo-
tors in the agricultural college.
Thousands of young men have
been taken from the state for nation
al service. At least 90 per cent of
these are from the farms or have
been engaged in farm work. This
creates a shortage in farm labor
which is likely to become permanent
as successive drafts take place, and
the government is urging the few left
on the farms to produce more farm
products than ever before.
Much valuable time is lost in the
crop growing season by the use Of
horses in making trips to town for
needed supplies, for such trips usual
ly take three or four hours or more.
The auto truck could be used to good
advantage for these trips.
The truck ranges in capacity from
half ton to six tons, is as easily OPP
Grated as an automobile, and the
limit Of its speed is governed only by
the road over which it travels, the
maximum being 20 miles an hour.
On the carefully laid out farm
stead, the auto truck is capable Of a
great saving Of labor in the handling
Of produce from the field to the gran
airy or haymow, and in any other
work that would suggest itself, as
we'll as in the hauling of such pro-
duce to market.
The size and type Of farm, the dis
lance from market, and the condition
Of roads will determine the value of
motor truck to a farmer, believes
E. V. Collins, instructor in steam and
gas engineering.

pointed by Chairman Chamberlain
will continue in existence, but will
