SHOWS WAR WORK OF NATION
Great Combined Government Exhibits Will be
Shown at Kansas City.

The United States Government has
combined its travelling displays of
public work and is to exhibit them
so as better to inform the people con.
corning the work of their government
toward winning the war. The com.
bined display will be a war show from
beginning TO end, for every activity OF
the government now has a bearing,
more or less direct, ON the one ma.
tional aim of preserving popular rule
for the world. Thus, not only will
there be vital interest in the exhibits
Of the War and Navy Departments,
but in the displays of the work of the
Department of Agriculture in stimula-
ting increased production of food the
activities of the Food Administration
in encouraging the conservation and
distribution Of this fundamental war
munitiOn; the addition of new food
sources through the Bureau of Fish
cries of the Department Of Com
merce; the safeguarding of human life
and indirectly increasing of coal pro-
duction through the work of the mine
fescue cars Of the Bureau OF Mines.
Department Of the Interior; and the
spreading Of official news through the
Committee on Public information.
The combined government exhibits
will be shown from October IS to 2G
at the International Soil Products Ex-
position, at Kansas City. They win
occupy 10000 square feet of floor
space. No charge will be made for
admission to the government displays.
Education the Aim.
The government exhibits will have
much to detain even the idly curious,
but informing the people of govern
ment work and of important aid which
the public can render the government
in the national crisis are the big aims.
All exhibits are educational and those
OF purely technical interest are rarely
used. Displays are the product of
years Of experience in exposition
methods and every effort is made to
visualize subjects in such manner that
observers will be informed as we'll as
entertained.
To list and describe adequately
every item in the exhibits would re.
quire many words. Features selected
here and there, however. may serve to
give an idea Of the compIete show.
The War Department will show
browning and Lewis machine guns,
field gun, projectiles up to 12-inch,
trench and field equipment, model fig.
ures, wireless and |heliograph outfits,
insignia models, and many other arti-
cles, requiring $500 feet of floor space.

FARM CONGRESS IN
JOINT SESSIONS
Big Agricultural Meeting and
Exposition al Kansas City
October 16 to rs.
TO Be AN OPEN FARM FORUM
Big Problems viii Be Discussed and
Needs Of Producing Classes
Emphasized.

One Of the most important gather.
lngs in the world this year, pertain
ing to agriculture, will be the Thir-
teenth Annual Sessions Of the Inter
national Farm Congress (The Dry
Farming Congress-, which is to be
held at Kansas City, Mo-, during the
progress OF the International Soil
Products Exposition, October 1926.
The International Irrigation Congress
is also Joining the Dry-Farming Con
gress on this occasion, which will
comprise the regular annual sessions
Of both organizations.
1t is probable that this meeting will
result in the permanent amalgamatiOn
Of the Dry-Farming Congress and the
Irrigation Congress, under the newer
and more general title of the Interna-
tional Farm Congress. Both the Dry.
Farming Congress and the Irrigation
Congress have been very active in the
development of Western agriculture
during the past dozen or more years,
and each has exercised a tremendous
influence in its particular field. The
opinion Of leaders of both organiza-
lions now, however, is that their work
can be carried on just as effectively
under the proposed combination as by
maintaining separate organizations.
Delegates to the number of several
thousand are expected to be at Kan
sas City. In addition, a large per-
centage Of attendance is expected
from thousands of regular members
Of the two Congresses, in twenty or
more states and in Canada.
The sessions will be open, and farm
ers and others may attend, whether
delegates or not.
Big Questions to Be Discussed.
Two OF the big questions to be con
sidered at the coming sessions will be
the extension of the present Reclama-
ton Act to include swamp and cut
owe timber lands and the definite dis
position Of the settlement of the re.
naming public lands, most of which
will have to be farmed by dry-farm.
ing methods, if at all.
The farmers and their representa-.
tlves at these Congress sessions will
also have something to say concerning
price fixing, farm labor supply, and
other matters affecting the welfare OF
the entire country.
A Farm Forum.
The annual sessions of the Farm
Congress will occupy two full days
and evenings, the program being OF
the very best talent that can be Sc
cured. Practical farmers also take
a prominent part, Altogether these
sessions mark the acme of agricul
tural achievement, Educational, eco
nomic, country life and live stocl
topics also receive liberal attention.

which is held annually at this Expo
sition. 1t is significant that the
states which have been first to go
oyer the top" in raising their quotas
for the Liberty Loan, Red Cross and
other war work, are also the ones to
first make their arrangements for
showing their products and adyertis-
ing their opportunities.
These contests have been held an
nually by the international Farm Con-
gress for several years. In 1915 at
Denver, Kansas won the trophy, re.
peating the next year at Ell Paso. At
Peoria, last year, the Nebraska ex.
hibit took first place, with Kansas a
close second.

TRAGEDY Of French Trees.

Broken homes, ruined factories,
shattered churches, violated graves, it
had seemed to me we had rung all the
changes on the destruction of war. But
there remained one-the tragedy OF
the trees-says writer In McClure's
Magazine. You can rebuild houses,
churches, towns even-for that takes
only money. But you can't rebuild or
chards Of fruit trees and avenues of
great shade trees--for that takes time.
We were seeing them everywhere now
orchards with trees that were but
faded, shriveled branches of brown
leaves lying on their sides; orchards,
where these had been cleared away,
that showed nothing but white-topped
stumps. They say that when the
warm spring came, some of these or
chard trees, lying on their sides but
not wholly severed, leafed gently and
then-just before they dled--bloomed
once again for France.
