When ex-senator Bristow last year
travelled over Kansas telling the peo-
pie that profiteering was running wild
at Washington under the name of pat
riOtism, lot of citizens said he was
disloyal and wanted to chase him out
of the state When he told about
millionaires who were serving the
government as purchasing agents at
the humble salary of 81 a year, and
yet waxing fabulously rich on the pro-
fits of what they were selling for
army use, some persons fretted them
selves into a lather about Mr.. Bris-
tow's reasonable utterances and one
little tank town out in central Kansas
would not let him speak there at all.
But what do you think now of the
statements made by Mr.. Bristow?
How does his story of year ago
compare with the facts as brought
out in the federal trade reports?
The truth hurt then but now we
read the same facts with eagerness
and welcome every new revelation
with open arms. Was Mr.. Bristow
simply telling the truth a year too
E soon?- Independence Reporter.

"NHE Red Cross is your Red
Cross, serving you at home,
representing you abroad.
1t is for you, now that the
war emergency is past, to make the
most OF its far-reaching ability to
serve.
Home Service work, undertaken by
the Red Cross Department of Civilian
Relief, served in war time to aid the
families OF fighting men and to relieve
anxiety OF soldiers In camps.
Out Of experience gained in this
work comes the Red Cross plan for
the future. The common objective OF
all Red Cross work is to improve gen.
eral living conditions, to conserve the
health and to promote the welfare
Of all people.
In the larger cities community i'm.
provement has already reached high
state Of development. 1t is left for
the Red Cross to assist In furthsling
such work at the request of estab-
lished agencies.
But In the small cities and towns
The Red Cross service is only limited
by the interest and response of the
public to the opportunity offered by
the peace time extension Of the Red
Cross.
Home Service is not charity work.
The Red Cross organization is open to
all. All may benefit by making the
most Of its far-reaching ability to
serve.
Health, education, the development OF
the public health nursing idea and al.
lied forms of community betterment
work will be dealt with as individual

SUrha AlfaIra IN COCKS Onuer Caps,
the reduction in the value Of hay
through discoloratiOn by sun and rain
"a Q normal season amounts TO as
mach as, or perhaps more than, the
cest OF enough hay caps to prevent this
tess.
Hay caps are of two distinct types
those that are entirely imperyi0us TO
18TH air and rain, and those that shed
pe2rly all of the rain, and at the same
dpne allow most of the moisture-laden
air from the interior of the stack to
pass through and be carried away
The caps are fastened on the hay cocks
ty weights attached to each corner OF
the cap and buried In the hay, or by use
sf strings tied to each corner of the
cap and fastened together near the
ground on opposite sides of the cock.
Gaps should be put in place as soon as
the cock is made, but when there Is no
Indication of rain this may be delayed
until the following forenoon. When the
caps are not in use they should be
efied thoroughly aud stored. II prop
srly cared for they will last several
sessons. and can be used on three or
four cuttings each season.
At the New Jersey experiment sta.
ton It was found that when some
cocks of alfalfa were covered with cot
fOD sheeting caps 45 inches square and
exposed to heavy rain lasting "a
hours, the hay was damp only two or
three inches below the top. The cocks
that were not covered received a thor.
0Hgh wetting and the hay was more
or less bleuched, the stems brittle and
the loss of leaves heavy.
Hay caps are especially valuable In
caring alfalfa and clover hay which do
Rst dry out as readily as the grasses
Alfalfa hay must be handled carefully
70 avoid loss of leaves which constitute
foOm 40 to GO per cent Of its weight.
