Women Knew About Il.

We have a new understanding
A new word but not new idea or a
new art. We have had the camoufage
girl with as for some time. says an
exchange. Camoufiage, so the diction-
airy people tell US, means painting to
deceive the eye. 1t is an art that is
being employed in the war. The tops
Of submarines are being painted to
look like the ripping green sea waves.
Battle ships and cruisers are being
painted 80 that their hulls will blend
with the gray sea mists. Along the
war fronts camouflage is being used
to convey the impression to the enemy
balloon and airplane observers that
batteries are located where they are
not, also conceal the real location Of
guns, ammunition cellars and strategic
troop movements. Paint is used to
deceive the eye. That is camoufiage.
But is 1t new thing under the sum-
Go tol 1t is not sol Are we not all
distressingly familiar with the camOu-
fiage girl3 The idea is just the same
when applied to faces, we take 1t, as
in the case of the submarines and the
terrible tanks-to deceive the eye of
the critical observer. Camoufiage as
applied to ships and armOred tanks
may be more or less of success, but
as applied to the ladies 1t doesn't fool
even the wayfaring man.

BETTER LOOK TO YOUR
IMPLEMENT REPAIR

The Kansas State Board of Agri-
culture issues warning to farmers
everywhere. In the face Of the most
serious farm labor situation ever ex-
perienGed, the farmer should see to it
that everything within his power is
done to save time and labor.
One of the most important things
he can do is to have every implement
and machine on the place in perfect
running order, with repair parts or
dered and in place at the earliest
date possible.
In ordering repair parts for imple-
ments, most unusual situation con
fronts us. In years past the post Of
flee and express congestion in Kansas
City and other implement distribut-
ing centers was very bad in the
spring. Frequently repair parts would
he delayed for several days owing to
insufficient post Office and express ia
cilities. The result would be that
farmers would waste time that they
: could use to better advantage in the
field.
The conditions will be very grave
this year. Transportation of mail and
express is expected by all familiar
!. with the situation to be worse as time
goes on. Insufficient trains, too few
cars, and the absence of drafted post
Office and express employees all mean
a serious slowing up this coming
spring.
In addition to the above reasons,
the following considerations should
be sufficient to convince the farmer
that he ought to order repairs early:
First: Implements can be repaired
during the slack season; thus, better
use is made Of farm labor.
Second: No tedious delay waiting
for parts, nor time in repairing imple-
ments when weather conditions per-
nit working in the field.
Third: Every minute OF good
weather in the spring should be util-
lied; there is little enough time at
best.
Fourth: Fewer breakdowns in the
field will occur if the implements are
repaired now while the farmers re-
member to quite an extent what parts
are needed
Fifth: Late ordering of repairs
occasionally means that the jobber
must order the repair parts from the
factory. The result is loss of days
or weeks.

Tho Moon and the Weather.

People who rely on the moon as
weather Indicator, writes a London
Chronicle correspondent, must have
very short memories, for accurate COM
parsons prove conclusively that there
is no connection whatever between the
weather and the moons changes of
phase.
Professor Schuster analysed whole
century's weather records and, as a
result, was unable to trace any lunar
period In them. Several authorities
are agreed, however, that there is a
tendency for clouds to dispense as a
full moon comes to the meridian of
any place; but 1t is far cry from that
to the definite belief that the weather
changes with a change Of the lunar
phases.
These changes, of course, can be
predicted for years In advance with
perfect accuracy, and If the weather
depended on them, weather forecast
ing would be the simplest of all the
sciences, instead of the most difficult.

Women Replacing Men In Banks.

There is at present no woman officer
Of New York city bank, and only
one In New Jersey, but If the war lasts
long enough 1t may be, as 1t is in Can
ada now, that the banks will virtually
be run by women, according to an ar
ticle in the New York Evening Post.
Already, 1t is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States entered
the war, last April.
1t will not be decidedly new field
for women to become officers Of banks,
for perhaps the majority Of bank presi-
dents in New York have women secre-
taries and assistants who thoroughly
understand the workings Of banks and
the duties Of those in high places.

NEW LAW MAGISTRATES

Township Officials Must Go Into De-
tail as to Expenditures for
Work on Roads
The new state road law is going to
furnish an ample supply of work for
road overseers and clerks of the var
ious townships.
Speaking of the new law, the
Dodge City Globe says:
"The idea of the law is that at the
end of every year the township, coun-
ty and state highway commissions
will know to the peny how much has
been spent on the road under their
supervision, which will mea nthat the
amount, to whom paid, and for what
reason expenditures were made for
work on every mile of road in the
state.
"In order to collect this informa-
ton it is going to be necessary for
road officials to make reports of var
ious kinds. The township overseer
mustt make seven separate reports
for each days work his men spend on
the roads. Each culvert installed will
necessitate a separate report on the
work done. Extra work on each mile
of road must be told in anotehr re-
port Township clerks have separate
reports to make which almost de-
mands a knowing Of expert book
keeping, so technical is the informa-
ton desired"

The Blind Soldiers.

Statistics furnished by the French
British authorities to the American
British-French Belgian Permanent
Blind Relief War Fund Of 500 Fifth
avenue, New York, show that there
are in England, France and Belgium
more than 1900 soldiers who have
been totally blinded in the war and
nearly 25,000 blinded in one eye, a
large proportion of whom will even
tually lose the sight Of the other as
the result of shock or of the wounds
themselves. In addition there are in
France alone nearly 200 who, besides
losing both eyes, have also suffered,
by explosions or amputatiOn, the loss
of both arms or both legs, or hand,
and In many cases have been rendered
stone deaf into the bargain.

Woman's Work.

For the past few years tne
lines that have designated a
difference between mans work
and woman's work have iast
been obliterated until now'
nearly all boundary lines are re-
moved. "As a rusult OF this"
says Mrs. Eugenla G. Benn, OF
the Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture, "women are pre-
pared to fill many places nec'
essarlly made vacant by the
war. She is not only standing
beside but leading the men in
many industrial and professional
duties. However, woman will
never lose that sense of useful
coopera ton as a helpmate which
places her first duty to do the
things which serve as compile
ments to the greater work OF the
men. In other words it is our
first duty to do the little things
that men leave undone. Because
of this fact sometimes our work
aaems small and it's results medl.
ocre.
Especially on the farm does
women's work seem to lack ap-
probation. From early dawn
until late at night the multltu'
dinous duties of the home, house
family, stock, garden and poul-
try demand the attention. Be.
sides these the women's duties
to that greater field, the COM
mi nlty, peristently calls us. And
ad I'D to all these, comes the per
tin mt call to war work. There
wa never a time when women's
du es have been so numerous,
bu rom now on until a perma-
ne n peace for the world Is won,
our duties will incsease each day.
No demande must be made on
the farm women's time energy
or abilities that are not care
fully considered first and spared
if possible. Conservation is our
watchword and let US not forget
that the most necessary thing to
conserve is energy. At times
we seem to have almost super
human strength to do our best
for a cause that Is morally right.
Let US never belittle ourselvee or
our labors, and let US never as

lence that it is always the best
plan to do we'll the little things
that come to hand and, having
done them well, with the thought
of worthy promotion ahead, the
larger things have come when

that will mean freedom for him and

The great dragnet will reach into

ITALIAN A|RMEN
DROP MAN|FEST0S
ON AUSTRIAN CITY
(By Associated Press.)

ROME, Aug. 12.-The feat of drop
ping manifestoes on Vienna Friday
morning was accomplished by patrol
of eight Italian machines and all re-
turned safely except one. The air
planes were commanded by Captain
Gabrielle d'AnnunZio and the patrol
was comprised Of one biplane and sew
en- monoplanes The total flight was
about 1000 kilometres of which 500
was over enemy territory
The airplanes left their bases at
$50 o'clock and, after surmounting
fairly serious atmospheric difficulties,
reached Vienna at 9:20. They drop
ped to a height of 500 metres and
threw out several thousand manifes-
toes Throngs in the streets could
be seen plainly by the aerial visitors.
The Italian machines returned by
way Of Vienna-Neustadt, Gratz, Lai-
bach and Triest. A semi-official note
says they were not attacked. The pa
troll kept close together throughout
the journey and arrived at its base
again at 12: 40 p. m.
The missing machine appears to
have been obliged to land near Vienna
