Paulson enlisted May 90. 1917, and
Joined the regular army in August of
that year, was assigned with the
Thirty-fifth division, and served with
that division thru the war. He was
in the Argonne woods and came thru
without a scratch. Later. however. he
was ill, so was returned to the United
States in February.
When asked how the boys of the
Thirty-fifth felt about Governor AL
lens charges, and the investigation
into the management of that division
at the time of the Argonne fight,
Paulson said that the boys, while APP
preciating and understanding Gov
ernor Aliens motives in the matter,
felt that it was a mistake. since il
had caused them to be criticized by
other divisions who took the position
that the Thirty-fifth got the wors,
of it, and was whining about it. Since
the Thirty-fifth was not made up OF
winners, they resented the implica-
ton, ne said.

WILL TEST ALL SEED
Saving of Dollars Is the Result, Say
X. S. A. c. Experts.

Manhattan, Kan, March Is
TEST your seed and save your dol
lars" is the advice given to buyers
of seed by the agronomy department,
Kansas State Agricultural college.
The seed testing laboratory of the
agronomy department carefully tests
free of charge, all seed samples sent
in from over the state.
Seed testing saves the farmers
many dollars, first, because the test
determines what per cent of the seed
will terminate. thus enabling farmers
to SOW only the best; and secondly,
because it determines the per cent of
weed seed and foreign agricultural
seeds present. BY careful test it is
often revealed to the buyer that GER
tain seeds contain a large per cent
of some weed such as dodder, which
if planted would cause a great loss of
money. Time would also be lost, for
it often takes several years to eradi-
cate a noxious weed.
If farmers and planters would make
use of the seed testing laboratory
they would be able to secure pure
seed of high termination. In Kansas
there is no law to protect the buyer
of impure seeds and therefore mixed
poor seeds are to be found on the
market.
In half teaspoonful of white clov-
er seed sent to the laboratory TWEEN
ty- one varieties of weed seeds were
present and six varieties of agricu1-
tura1 seeds. In another test covering
one teaspoonful of red clover seed
there was found forty-o one varieties
of weed seed and seven varieties of
agricultural seeds.

Baldwin, March 15.-Bishop Will

dents of Baker university here Fri
day, declared with burning emphasis
that the world war is not yet over,
but is at the present moment in its
most critical stage.
THE people of America are settling
back into the settee of comfort since
the signing of the armistice over three
months ago" the bishop declared,
land Americans never needed to be
more on their guard than at the pres
ent time" He stated that the Ger
mans were whipped but not defeated
and that the armistice-came too soon
for the worlds good. the worlds COM
fort and the worlds continual peace.
1.-The American people have a right
to have a voice in the great peace
conference" Bishop Quayle forcefully
declared. Wilson is not the master

STORY OF A NURSE
Louise Kieninger, Topeka,
Writes From France.
Tells of Visit to German Camp
and From Gen. Pershing.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. Kieninger, 101 Tyler
street, have received an interesting let
ter from their daughter, Miss Louise
Kieninger, from France, where she
has been for year and half. as a
Red Cross nurse. After some personal
chat about her hospital unit, she
writes, Yesterday we went to San Ma
zaire, about 16 miles from here. A
sister of one of the nurses is buried
there. How lovely the cemetery look
ed, with it's rows of white crosses.
The nurses. officers and enlisted men
are buried side by side. The graves
are beautifully kept. 1t seems hard to
leave some one behind, but when one
sees how beautifully the cemeteries
are laid out, and how wonderfully
they are kept-usually in a high place
overlooking the village. with peoples
and corn-flowers and green grass
around them, and one knows they will
always be we'll looked after. it is not
SO hard.

their entertainment. The kitchens and
store rooms were also immaculate
and the food very good. The infirm
airy was clean, and a tailor shop and
shoe repair shop keep them neat and
clean. My. how they stood at atten-

troops here last week. He stopped If

ATTACKS HIS AID
Wilson Bearer Than Ever to
the French People.
Because of Actions of Partisan
Enemies i'm Z. s.

Paris, March 15.-"Because of the
attacks to which he has been sub
jected by certain Americans whose
policies are exaggerated nationalism,
President Wilson comes back to us
dearer to our hearts than ever" This
sentence from the pen of Auricede
Wallet editor of the Paris Midi. tells
in a nutshell the obvious opinion OF
the average Frenchman.
Thus President Wilson enters the
third phase of the peculiar status of
his relations with the French people
whose Latin temperament has given
full sway to their emotions in the past
three months. When the president
arrived in December everybody lauded
his sense of justice, but many feared
his scheme for the league of nations
was too Utopian. However. he was
considered the worlds superthinker
and was applauded. Later the league
appeared to be practical. but many
feared that same sense of justice they
had praised might lead him to be
over-lenient with Germany. His popu-
larity decreased. Today the French
admit the necessity of feeding Ger
many out of sheer self-protection,
while they demand formation of the
