1916. while I have not as yet re-
ceiyed an ofilcial opinion from the
attorney general. he has advised
that the amendment IL applicable TO
irrigation districts. which means
that the board OF directors. unless
specially authorized by n vote OF the
people. cannot raise On amount by
assessment more than six per cent
In addition to the amount raised the

In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand in a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included in this

The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to

strongest appeal for US to continue our
work there. The momen the German

MAKE AN AIR-P0CKET
WITH WINDOW SHADE
1T KEEPS OUT THE COLD.

There has come to light the novel
fact that a window shade will not only
keep out the light, but will keep out
the coldl
Unreasonable, you say7
Not at all.
A glass window, while 1t effectively
keeps out the wind, allows consider
able radiation of the heat from q
room through the single thickness of
the pane. In very cold countries double
windows are the rule.
No matter how thin the window
shade, If it is pulled down and held
snugly against the easement, it forms
an air pocket which insulates the
warm Don from the cold outside the
same way as does the air space of the
double window.
For that reason, In cold weather,
pull your window shades down at
night. If the curtains or hangings
DO not hold the shades close to the
easement, pin the shades. 1t is not
necessary to seal the shades tight
against the easement, but merely to
ave them hang close enough so that
he air will not circulate too freely.

gions, with conditions most serious In
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week al hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine Is ear. Al
though starvation Is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-
key are in the throes of serious strin-
g~encies.
In order to fulfill Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be ham
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum of 100000
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,000 tons ex-
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
If we fail to tighten the black spo-s
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions TO become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see In other parts of
Europe a repetition of the Russian de-
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been in vain.

WEATHER STRIPPING
WILL SAVE YOU COAL

Following are a few suggestions by
the United States Fuel Administration
on weather stripping of houses, to
save coal:
1t is best TO put weather stripping on
all doors and windows because, there
is a heat loss through every one, no
matter how tight they might be. BY
all means strip those which are loose,
or which have large crevices.
All doors and windows which have
a northern exposure should be care
fully stripped. Windows thus exposed
would be much better protected if dou-
BILE windows are provided, because
there is a certain amount of heat loss
through the glass.

The French government has started
a movement to fix individual RESPONSE
bility for all violations of recognized
international law, especially cases of
atrocity, and to punish them after the
war, as other crimes are punished.
There seems to be crystallizing every
where a sentiment that those guilty
of these atrocities shall not be allowed
to escape punishment by pleading the
excuse of war. To this end the evil
dence available is being carefully gath
cred.

RUSS RETAKE CITY SPUDS LOOK GOOD
Alfalfa Is Almost Ready To Cut,
Report Says.
Week Was Favorable for De-
velOpment of. Wheat.

The fore part of the week was
warm, dry, and sunshiny, and fine for
crop growth, but the latter part was
abnorma ally cool, with heavy rains in
the south and southeastern
portion and scattered showers else
where that furnished sufficient moist
ure for present needs in most places
An unusually severe wind and dust
storm prevailed in all parts on the 9th
and caused considerable damage to
oats and barley and by blowing the
soil, especially in the western portion.
This was followed by sharp drop in
temperature, with frosts and freezing
weather in the extreme western coun-
ties which, however, caused but little
damage, the weekly report of the local
office of the United States Weather
Bureau announced.
The week was favorable for the
continued splendid development of
wheat in all parts, except the south
western counties, where drought is
hurting it. 1t is stooling in many
forming in the boot, in many of the
northern and western counties. Far
ther south it has about all jointed and
in the extreme southeastern counties
the heads are showing in about half
of it.
Rye has fully headed in the south
central part
Oats and barley are doing fairly
well, but have been retarded by too
much cool weather and in the south
western part by drought. Oats are
from to 4 inches high in the south
eastern counties.
Corn Planting Half Done.
The week has been highly fawora BILE
to corn planting, except in the COM
paratively few places where there was
too mitch rain, and this work has been
in full swing. At the present time
from half to three-fourths of the corn
is in the ground and it is coming up
here and there in all parts. In the
southeastern. part practically half the
early planted failed to terminate and
will have to be replanted. Planting
grain sorghums has also started in the
southeast.
Alfalfa is reNdy to cut in the south
ern part of the state and will be ready
in another week or 10 days to the Ne
braska line, where it is from a foot to
foot and a half high. In the south
central part it has made a fine growth,
but in many of the northern counties
IL has been stunted somewhat by alb
normally cool weather. Pastures are
also scanty for the season in most
places, tho stock are subsisting on
them in all parts.
Early potatoes are setting on ard
strawberries ripening in the extreme
southeastern counties. Elsewhere DO
tatoes are up to fine stands and are
being cultivated in the Kansas River
valley, where the acreage is reported
TO be larger than usual

Try This If You
Have DandruH

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night whep
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
ly dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy.
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive. and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
