WEEK

The Watertown News-The opening
number Monday night of the weeks
engagement by the Clint and Bessie
Robbins company drew a full house
last evening, in the presentation of
the Harvard University prize play by
Frederick Ballard, Believe Me, Kan
tippe." The leading roles were by
Walter Wilson, impersonating George
Mcfarland, a wealthy New Yorker,
and Mrs. Robbins, taking the part of
Dolly Kamman. daughter of a western
sheriff.
The play centers around Mcfarland
who. merely to demonstrate the inca
pacity of the officers charged with en-
forcing the law, undertakes, after hav-
ing committed forgery for the purpose
of becoming a fugitive from Justice"
to keep out of the clutches of the Of
ficers for a period Of one year. He
succeeds for eleven months in evading
arrest, only to run into the arms, so
to speak, of the sheriff's pretty daugh-
ter, who captures him, subsequently
falls in love with him and helps him
to escape at the last moment thus en-
aiding him to demonstrate his theory
of official incapacity and to turn the
laugh on his friends who, in addition
to losing the long chase, lost thirty

are lost to city merchants every wear.
especially at the holiday season, be
cause the roads leading into the cities
are in such condition hat people from
the rural sections cannot reach the
trade centers without hardships. They
resort to mail ORDER purchases because
the order may be sem from the gate
by rural carrier and the purchase de-
livered in the same name Until
merchants waken up to the signif-
canoe OF this condition, mail order
houses will flourish like the green bay
tree. 1t Is a well known fact that
every mail order concern in the coun-
try Is bitterly hostile to hard surfaced
roads. The reason is apparent. They
have analysed the situation and under.
stand what such roads mean to their
prosperity. This loss of trade to home
merchants because of bad roads is
well known but intangible.
When a method is devised by which
an equitable division of the cost of
good roads may be made between city
and rural communities which are mu-
tually benefited, the hostility of the
rural communities to the expense of
hard roads construction will disappear
and the two interested elements will
be found working hand in hand for a
common good. This is the task of the
lawmakers who would provide the
state with a system of roads that will
serve this and coming generations at
the least wastage of the public funds.

MASTERING OUT OUR BOYS

The following bulletin has been fur
Camp Funston, as being the best avail
able information concerning the use
of hat camp for the rehabilitation
of boys returning from the army:
That Camp Funston will be a great
rehabilitation point for all troops
from Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Col
orado and possibly Oklahoma and
South Dakota is indicated here by the
latest statements from the War De
partment and figures from the Office
or Provost Marshal General Crowder.
1t Is estimated that over 200 900 men
will pass through Funston altogether
in the process of rehabilitation. This
number includes men already sent
home, men still at Camp Funston and
other camps in this country and those
now in France. The latter form two
entire divisions, the seth and 35th, and
others are scattered through about Is
other army units. In addition to Ma
tional 6uard regiments in the 34th di-
vision, many men from Kansas. Ne
braska, Colorado. Missouri, and South
Dakota were either transferred from
Camp Funston or indicted directly in
to divisions training at other camps.
Several thousand were sem each to
the 30th, 32nd, oath. Both, 40th. seth,
S7th, 8Sth, Goth, and 91st divisions, all
of these now being overseas. In ad-
dition to those in overseas divisions
men were indicted into the Sth divi-
sion at Camp Fremont, the 10th at
Funston, the 18th at Lewis. the 10th
at Kearney, the 18th at Travis, the
10Th at Dodge, and the 9th at Cody.
These do not include limited and spec
ial service men and Student Army
Training Corps.
OF the overseas divisions containing
men from these states the 32nd, seth
and goth are now in Germany in the
Army Of Occupation. 1t is impossible,
of course, to foretell when the divi-
sions now in the Army of Occupation
will return. While no announcement

of every soldier and sailor who we're
in service from the county, with suit
able recognition for those who made
the great sacrifice.
So far, very little has been said
about some kind Of a memorial for
the soldier and sailor boys from
Brookings county. II Is time to be
planning something, else we shall be
behind other counties in the state.
This item is intended to start the agi-
tation in earnest and Is in support Of
a suitable memorial building. A mon
ument of cold marble may be all right
for the departed. but it is too sugges-
tive for the living ones. Triumphal
arches. which are SO common in Eu-
rope, are o vainglorious and are re-
minders OF imperial tIiumphs. A sub
stantial, commodious memorial hall,
site yet to be selected, but near our
wellgrouped civic center, should be
erected with funds obtained by popu-
lar subscriptions from all over the
county. The auditorium should be
large enough to accommodate all large
civic and patriotic gatherings, such
as Memorial Day, the Fourth of July,
and Victory Day (November 11th) etc.
and not to be used for frivolous amLse-
ments of any kind, not in keeping with
the purpose of the building. On the
walls should be the service roll and
the honor roll, arranged according to
the arm of the service engaged. In
this county. we have already lost six
teen overseas and seven or eight in
American camps. We at home should
erect something In their honor. 1t Is
time to get busy.

A RESULT OF WAR

The fulfilling of our ideal in govern
ment is not alone a benefit that the
United States has received from the
world war. Tie increased respect in
which We are held BY utler nations is
one of great value TO IS. The magni-
tude of our undertaking and the rapid
ity and success with which we accom-
plished it, have awakened the wond.
er, If not admiration, of other powers,
Among other articles on the subject
written by prominent publicists the
following by Prof. Shigeo Suyehiro
OF Kyoto University. Japan, is ex-
tremely enlightening:
There Is no Disgusting the fact
hat prior to the war the Japanese did
not believe in the military strength of
America, but the present titanic strug-
gle has demonstrated beyond all doubt
the errOs of the japanese estimate.
The United States has become a great
military power at a bound and her
navy is only second TO that OF Great
Britain. The financial Of
America are something tremendous.
II is stated that America would be
able TO keep the war going for a quar-
ter Of a century at the rate of expen-
diture which she spent for the first
year. Nor is this all.
"The Americans are as greo. spirit
ually as their country is almost linn
itless in her resources. Just imagine
those Americans-whom some Japan
csc consider as slavish worshippers
OF Mountaineering for their
try at an allowance of 81 a year: they
endured the hardship OF meatless and
wheatless days in order TO obtain a
supply OF surplus provisions available
for the allies: and no dissentient voice
was raised against the proposed re-
striction Of the manufacture OF liquor.
The material and spiritual sacri.
fees made by the Americans in the
cause of the war as evidenced in these
and other things are really wonderful.
showing as they do the greatness of
America and her people"
DR.. Suyehiro thinks that 1t would
be the height of absurdity for Japan
TO pick a quarrel with such a great
country. Japan should stand for an
open door policy in the far east, but
in return she should receive similar
treatment in Indo-C China, Canada, Aus
tralia and New Zealand. He said that
America had been excluding japanese
migrants but he thought II very doubt
full whether she was sufficiently justi-
fed in sc doing. Japan should strive
TO have the United States correct her
attitude not by brute force but by APP
pealing with equal force to British and
French territory where discrimination
against the Japanese is in force"

May lnjure Wheat

Specialists from all portions of the
U. S. lately visited wheat fields in Ill
inois near East st. Louis. These
fields have been ruined by a. foreign
disease commonly known as take
ALL" This same trouble has been
found in Indiana so the farmers in
Kentucky should watch their wheat
fields for diseased plants. Take all"
stunts the plant. The leaves become
much darker than healthy leaves. The
stalks are often rotted at the base
and become brown or gray-black. Dis
eased plants often produce shoots
which have leaves that are much mar
rover than the first set. At times the
whole plant dies leaving patches
which are quite noticeable. When not
badly diseased plant may produce
jointed stems and some heads; but the
heads do not fill properly.
The farmer, who thinks he has this
disease in his fields, should mail the
injured plants to the Experiment Sta
ton at Lexington.

CORN and TO-
BACCO PLANTING
IS Being RUSHED
Change In Weather Saves Both Crops
Serious, Injury-Labor Scarcity
Is Big Problem Again.

Farmers Of the Blue Grass greeted
the warm, fair weather of the past
week with enthusiasm and rushed
headlong into the fields with every
available farm hand in an effort to
catch up with corn planting, plowing'
narrowing and tobacco transplanting
all of which work had fallen far be-
hind because of the exceptionally
heavy rainfall of the past four weeks
The weather Of the past few days,
according to reports from all parts
of the section, was as if made to order
and much was accomplished on farms
It will require another week,at least
of seasonable weather for work to as
sumo its normal proportions.
Reports from neighboring counties
vary as to the percentage of the corn
crop now in the ground, but 1t Is pro-
bable that at least 60 per cent has
been planted thus far, great ma
jority of which went into the ground
during the past week. Clear weather
and a hot, dry sun came just in time
to prevent a great loss in the corn
crop especially in the mountain coun-
ties where 1t is unsafe to plant later
than the first days of June. 1t Is
now highly probably that the corn
crop will be as large or almost as
large as was originally planned
In one instance 1t has been reported
that wire worms have been very busy
running the corn crop of Scott coun-
ty farmer. The wet weather has been
highly suitable for their development,
Tobacco transplanting has been
rushed throughout the Blue Grass and
Central Kentucky the past week.
Plants in every instance reported are
fine in size and quantity and the

being used in many more cases this
year than ever before in an effort to
Offset the labor problem. There seems
to be ample moisture in the soil in
spite Of the very hot weather the past
week, to keep the plants alive and to
: make setting possible.
The general scarcity Of farm la
borers is presenting the greatest pro-
blem on farms at this time. Several
counties report farm hands even
scarcer now than last year. Tractors
and tobacco settlers and other labor
saving devices are coming into greater
popularity as result.
