"A few moments before the sun is
wholly covered watch for the coming of
the shadow of the moon from the north
west. Its swift approach, when seen
from a high point, is said to be most
terrifying.
The writer was too busy at the
time of the eclipses he has witnessed
to watch for this. Two or three min
utes before the shadow comes watch
for the shadow bands or ripples of
light and shade, which may be seen on
light colored ground or sheets OF white
cloth spread out for the purpose. Mark
the direction and distance apart of the
bands by laying down a pair of long
sticks parallel to them and at the prop
er distance apart. This should BIZ done
as Don as the bands are noticed, and
again at the beginning of totality.
''Then comes the supreme moment of
the eclipse. The instant the sun is
wholly covered lit may be seen dimly a
few seconds before) there stands out,
all around the jet black disk of the
moon, the wonderful corona, a pearly
light with streamers extending out here
and there to two and three times the
moons diameter.
"This can be seen at no other time
than during the few minutes of totality
and no evidence of it can be obtained
at any other time with any apparatus
which has yet been devised.
" This is why the astronomers spend
so much effort and time and go to most
distant parts of the world in order to
observe total eclipses of the sun. All
the eclipses of a century furnish only
Il comparatively short time in which
to observe this mysterious and marvel
ously beautiful phenomenon"

Necessity tghtens its grip. What was suffi-
Mm@MM cient for yesterday is not enough for today. The
MHTT1HlM long drain on Uncle Sans wheat bin has begun
CMQU&# to tell.
Today the WHEAT CRISIS ABROAD HAS
GROWN STILL MORE ACUTE. This is the fag end of the cereal
supply-the last few months before the new harvest. The Allies
home supply Is at It's lowest; their need for outside help is at its
highest. The Allies cannot hope to meet the military crisis on the
that threatens their rear guard of brave men, women and children
left behind to build ships, make munitions and prepare clothing for
those at the front.
This Is the reason the call has come that we must SAVE STILL
MORE WHEAT to give the Allies. Instead Of reducing our wheat
consumption one third as we have been urged to do, we must now
reduce 1t onehalf.
This means that each person must limit his or her consumption
Of wheat products to one and onehaf pounds per week. Direct
orders should be formulated for the family by every patriotic house
keeper. In place of bread for dinner, she should demand that more
potatoes be eaten, or, for variety, rice, a a vegetable, or hominy grits
BREAKFAST SHOULD BEGIN THE DAY NOT BY THE
BREAKING OF BREAD but by the serving of oatmeal, cornmeal
mush or prepared non-wheat products. And the housewife must
serve these breakfast cereals not apart from the eggs or coffee, but
with them, so that the lack of bread will be met quite obviously.
At luncheon, all bread served should be absolutely wheatless,
and If potatoes are served, bread can be easily omitted.
These are only a few of the ways that can be found by the
housekesper who wants to ELIMINATE WHEAT ENTIRELY from
her menu and SO make a high contribution to cause and country.

THE ECLIPSE.

Everyone should keep in mind the
total eclipse of the sur which will take
place on Saturday afternoon of next
week, beginning at . :16 p. m, or a few
seconds thereafter q :16 p. II. astro-
nomical time). Comparatively few
people have ever witnessed such IA won
derful phenomenon as will be seen at
that time, and it is well worth the time
to make some preparation for it. Platte
valley people are particularly fortunate
in being within the path of totality.
Professor II. c. Wilson, in Popular
Astronomy, tells what to look for:
What are the things to be looked
for by those who are fortunate enough
to be located within the shadow of the
path?
First of all will be the beginning of
the partial eclipse, first contact, just
the same for observers within as for
those without the ~shadow-path. Then
there will be the progress of the black
moon across the face of the sun, its
passage over the sunspOtS, one after
another, hen the last speck of sun
light vanishes. Some Time before this
the darkness in midday will have be
come weird. Those who are not occu-
pied with special astronomical observa-
tons should watch the actions of birds

WILL BE A RUDE
AWAKENING.

The Germans are due to receive a
terrific awakening, judging from an ar.
ticle from the pen of a special CORE
spondent of a German newspaper. 1t
follows:
wherever n goes, our men de-
scribe the Americans as physically
efficient, young, well-equipped lads,
who, however, lack experience of the
sharper forms of western front fight
ing. They are said to be lively, rest
less, and active, ready day or night
for patrols and little attacks. As
soon as the attackers come under fire
their fighting zeal is considerably
dampened. Infantry salvos and ma
chinegun fire promptly scare them
back which completely confuses
them. Our men perceive the essen
tial nature of these opponents. They
describe them as skillful and bold
sportsmen, but by NJ means soldiers
in our sense and such as modern war
fare demands. Our men do not I'M
derestimate the enemy from the New
World, but they consider themselves
in every sense their military superb
ors."
We had rather bank on the judgment
of Mr.. Schwab, U. S. Director General
of Shipping, who said in a speech al
Detroit on Monday of this week, in
speaking of the American soldiers now
going into the field, 1.-THE Kaiser and
his men are due to get the damnedest
licking anyone ever got !"

Yes, Comrade Russell in his articles in the Socialist Daily down

fact if those prices are charged for %threshing, there is the biggest
steal in the whole affair, AS a matter of fact labor is costing but
little more this year that it was last, and while the prices of every
thing is up, there is no reason why it should cost more than $25 a
and the present outlook for this crop is that a thresher at the same
prices as last year could make So where he made one last year, and
yet, there is talk of prices for threshing that are simply out of all

and wheat respectively this year should be the top price, and if the

The threshermen's meeting at the court house Saturday
was a hugh joke; If the threshers Of this county think they can
rob the farmers, by overcharging for threshing this crop they will
be fooled. Already there are many owners of threshing rigs right
from the outside here on the ground to make arrangements to
move their machines here and thresh at a fair price. The crops in
many sections in the western part of the state are a failure, and
the men owning threshing machines are looking for places to
thresh, and unless the threshers of this county come off their high
horse and charge a reasonable price, outside rigs will do the work,
and the owners of local rigs will be hustlng for a job.

THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan will begin Septem-
Der % and close October 10. The result of the loan WILDE watch
ed with keen interest in Europe, not only by our associates in the
war against the Teutonic PAYERS but by our enemies. It will be
regarded by them as a measure of the American peoples support
of the war. @:
The Germans know full we'll the tremendous weight and signif-
canoe of popular support of the war, of the people at home backing
up the Army in the field: AS the loan succeeds our enemies will
sorrow; as it falls short they will rejoice. Every dollar subscribed
will help and encourage the American soldiers and hurt and. de-
press the enemies of America.
The loan will be a test of the loyalty and willingness Of the people
of the United States to make sacrifices compared with the willing
ness OF our soldiers to do their part. There must be and will be
no failure by the people to measure up to- the courage and devotion
OF our men in Europe; Many of them have given up their lives;
shall we at home withhold our money? Shall we spare our dol
lars while they spare not their lives?

DRESSING CHRISTMAS DOLLS
"Be Sure the Clothes Come On and
on" 10 Advice Of Woman Who
Has Had Much Experience.

BE sure the clothes come on and
Off" This is the injunction that one
woman has to make every year when
she gets to work at her usual Christ
mas task Of getting so dolls dressed
for so little orphans who live in an in
stitution in which she Is interested.
She buys the dolls at wholesale prices
and then gets good folk she knows to
dress them, but always with the re-
quest goes this injunction-'be sure
and don't sew the clothes on"
The reason for this is the fact that
these SO little girls r like all other
little girls In liking dolls that can be
dressed and undressed. and the first
thing they do on receiving their Christ
mas doll is to e how readily 1t may
be dressed and put to bed and then
dressed again.
In dressing dolls 1t is possible to buy
paper patterns for doll clothes. One
set, sold by a leading pattern concern,
contains a cape with a hood, a jumper
dress and guimps, a bathrobe and a
petticoat and drawers-all for ten
cents. The only trouble with this sort
of pattern is that 1t doesn't always fit
the doll you choose; in fact. 1t Is by
the merest accident that the paper pat
tern would ft the doll. Although the
