Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt's father
and mother asked the War Department to
permit his body to remain in France. They
felt that the American soldiers who fell
there should lie in the soil they died de-
Tending.
A great many parents and widows have
been led by the Roosevelts' example to
relinu,vsh their desire that the bodies OF
their soldier sons and husbands be brought
back. Already letters to this effect have
been received by the War Department from
10000 families. In two recent weeks 500
such letters came from families who
wished to reverse a previous request that
their dead be returned.
Congressmen have made excited
speeches TO the effect that the French
were anxious to prevent the removal OF
our dead IN order that money-spending
Americans might come over in focks But,
as a matter OF fact the French, In relation
to ali this sad business, have conducted
themselves in the most sympathetic way

EXPERIMENT STATION NOTES

A trip over Ness, Ellis and Rush
counties indicates that there has been
slight improvement in the wheat
conditions during the past week. The
wheat has a green color and is stool
ing some. This is especially true of
the wheat that is on fairly well pre-
pared ground. Wheat on heavy stub
BILE may be doing as well but does not
show up on account of yellow volun-
teer. Examination of these fields
shows quite an infestation of Hessian
fly.
Jake and Elmer Bleam, cattlemen
of Covert, Kansas, report that in the
last two years they have purchased
the alfalfa raised by a neighbor and
in figuring up their records they find
that they have paid this neighbor at
the rate of $3.50 per acre for this
alfalfa. This means a little over
$41.25 per acre per year on land
worth from $4,000 to $1,000 per
acre. This is strong argument on
increasing the acreage of alfalfa on
the bottom lands in Western Kansas.
Many farms have land suitable for
alfalfa. Results at the Fort Hays
Experiment Station show that upland
alfalfa will not make profitable
yields.
Dauber Brothers, Bunkerhill, Kan
sas, report that their purebred herd
of registered Herefords is going into
the winter in better shape than usual.
This seems to be common report
among the better catklemen of the
section. These men are improving
their farm and are going to put down
some silos. Their herd is headed bv

Taylor herd of Frankfort, Kentucky
Whether it pays to feed twenty
bushel to the acre kafr crop either in
the form of silage or fodder with the

addition to the livestock experimental
work at the Fort Hays Experiment
Station this year. Four lots of year

two other lots, one being fed. kair

years experiments showed that it
took one acre of kafr fodder to go
as far as SO of an acre of kafir siIage.

LALLEY LIGHT and POWER
For Farms and Rural Homes
Announcement!

We have secured the exclusive fran
chise for selling the well-known LaIley
Electric Light and Power Plant IN this
territory.
For some time we have noticed that
the progressive farmers of this section
are realizing that economical and re-
liable electricity Is just as important
If not more so-to the proper develop
Inent Of their farming business and to
the comfort of their homes. as the tele-
phone, the daily mail. the automobile.
and the most valuable labor-saving
farm machinery.
1t is our inteRtion to give the residents
of Ibis community the very best ma
terial and the best of service for its
maintenance.
When we decided to sell an electric
light and power plant, we set out to
secure that plant which, in our opinion,
had proven itself to be the most reli-
aole, the most economical, and inevery
way the best investment for ourpatrons
We chose the Lalley Light plant, MAJ
troit. Michigan, one of the largest ma
farm electrical equipment.

TO COUNTY AND CITY HEALTH
OFFICERS

The Department of the State
Board of Health wishes to invite your
attention to new regulation passed
by the Board at its last quarterly
meeting, which is intended to act as
a barrier to prevent the dissemina-
ton of diseases of the upper respir-
atory tract, and particularly as a de-
Tense against the possibility of a re-
currence of influenza. This regula-
ton reads as follows:
STERILIZATION OF PUBLIC
FOOD AND DRINKING UTEN-
SILS.
WHEREAS, it is known that Ger
tain dangerous communicable dis
eases are transmitted through and by
the secretions of the upper respir-
atory tract, therefore be it,
RESOLVED, that all glasses, cups,
spoons, forks, knives or other uten-
sis used in serving food or drink to
the public, that come in contact with
the lips or mouth shall be sterilized
and adequately protected from con-
tamination before each service.
PROVIDED, in lieu of steriliza-
ton, utensils which are destroyed
after service to one individual may
be used.
Will you be good enough to see
that all places serving drinks to the
public and all hotels and restaurants
are notified of this regulation by cir
cular letter or personal visitation.
and also by publication in the ccounty
and city papers.
Fraternally yours,
