st. Louis. Sept. 27.-President Will
sons special arrived here at 3.3O and
left at 4:25 stopping only long enough
to change engines and take on water.
The President is reported as resting
quietly. His car was in darkness

the President hopes for developments
of worldwide Importance in the ad
justment of differences between en-
ployers and employees, is to meet in

but he is worn out by the almost
superhuman efforts he put forth at
Washington during the war, in Paris
at the Peace Conference and on this
tour. He consented to the cancellat-
ion of the remaining addresses on the
tour only when he found that he did
not have the physical strength to
cave his car Then at last he admit
ted: Il guess Pm all in" and accepted
the edict of Admiral Grayson.

armistice was signed today by the
Brattlebcro ministers and the Brat
tleboro baseball players with refer

From an authoritative source it was
learned tonigh' that the government
intended to use its ever" resource,
even to the employment of troops q
necessary, to combat what was char

"a strike against the life of the com

made to continue the transport OF
necessities by motor trucks; the War

The official announcement says
that, in view OF the State emergency
it will be necessary to reduce the
weekly ration of butter per person
to one ounce and of sugar to six
ounces while the meat ration will be
limited to the value OF 20 pence per

Wheat Harvest Problem

(Topeka CapitaD
 Harvesting two hundred million bushel wheat crop is a serious problem which Kansas faces to be accomplished within a few weeks. Wheat cutting cannot be put off. State Farm Labor Director Fri pe of Larned, calls for 22OOO0 men to harvest the crop more than half this immense army of workers to be brought in from other states. There are still the army, unavailable for harvest hands, more than twice as many Kansas men as year ago, and Kansas therefore is short handed to an extent that it has been before
 With high wages in other occupations 1t Is not easy to induce men into the wheat harvest The pay is good enough but the job does not attract hands Kansas must rely largely on former in the S. A. T. c.
 "If the wheat isn't harvested as soon as 1t Is ripe it is lost, MT. Fripell told Kansas City this week we put off our corn, our hay and our alfalfa, but can't put off wheat. The crop this year is going to be worth SAYS, 00,000."
 It is worth supreme effort to save the whole it.

Rank For Nurses

Philadelphia Bulettn)
 Once more Congress is asked to give relative mill tary rank to all who served in the war. It is essentially the measure which failed last session. As this seems to be Congress favorabiy disposed of feminine claims, there is not much doubt that the bill will pass, since it really amounts to paying compliments without cost.
 The nurses deserve their rank as much as pnysl- clans and other non-combatants. It may seem to some petty thing to ask for rank but that is Of the very essence of military life Stonewall Jackson insisted that love of promotion was at the basis of army efficiency. Certainly the nurses who worked SO hard-many of whom died in the service-deserve the baubles much
 Yeomanettes and marinettes rejoiced in their uni forms and chevrons. The female mind is said to be especially fond anything which denotes superiority. reality they vain in this respect than men, but franker in not trying to conceal their vanity Rank for the nurses is deserved and Con- gress must needs comply with the request.
