" We bow in humble admiration he- tore that wheat story from Dodge (lily, Kan. It always was a good story. but in its latest incarnation it is un— usually appealing. The Rev. Frank Page, according to The veracious correspondent who gave the yarn to the world, had driven to ' . file town of Wright, a few miles north at Dodge City, to conduct a prayer I ‘. fleeting. lie started back 011 foot, tak< thing the short cut through a 1,500 acre 7 twiieat field. At the prayer meeting he had offered up fervent thanks for the ‘ bountiful wheat crop. it was 10 o’cloek at night when the minister started home The next morning he ha'd not ar- . rived there His frightened wife began to make inquiries He was not at; ..... _ Wright, and he was not in Dodge, and , ire was nowhere on the road between " . , he two towns Two days passed with "no word or sign. ‘_ 0n. the third dayan old lady who had been at the prayer meeting sug- " : gosted that maybe the pastor had got lost In the wheat field A party start- Qd out. systematically searching all through the gralnvowhich is ’ and thicker than ever before At last one of the searchers heard a faint yoice murmuriug as if in’prayer. Fol- c, I lowing the sound, he came upon the, minister lying exhausted and half-de» livious, and repeating otter and over, ‘ Tailord, we thank thee for they bounti- tul providence which hasglven us such” In} plentiful crop of wheat." ‘lt's now time to hear from eastern Kansas about that little girl who went _, Jnto the field of young corn with her? N father' s lunch, and started right, but got-lost because the corn shot up so fast it obsoured all the familiar land- marks. and she never found out. We hope, though, that“ Wwili repeat the yarn about the boy 'who got lost in the cornfield and climbed up a cornstock to see where the house was, and thus got into more trouble than ever, because the corn grew up faster than he could climb nobody 1 down. . _.___~_ \IS THE RIFLE OBSOLETE? “ fiteports from the front indicate that in the rapid evolution of new war me- thods the rifle, the oldest. and most un- ‘ iversal of modern weapons, is losing » . its effectiveness.

The stench is pestilen- tisl. By means of a hose we've thrown creosote or quicklime upon those near- est our trenches. As a matter of self- preservation both sides appear lately to have come to an unspoken agree- ment to bury those nearest them at by the sun. There are places where there are veritable piles of bodies. As the days and weeks go by they shrivel and shrink together like little heaps of old clothes. Those silent heaps are more wierd by moonlight than byday. ”i wish those who cause and make war with indifference Would be put in- to that ‘hell of death' between Neu- vile and the Lorette Heights for a lit- tle while." That's the way they all talk now. learned I All the belligerents have what war is; and whether naturally patifists or militarists, they“ in Mill of it. The pity of it is that they didn’t leaiizo it last July. M...“ HONOR AND PROFITS. The resignation of army oliicers to accept places in private munition fac- tories is becoming a serious matter. Some of the government ammunition and ordnisnto wdrks are said to be crippled by des'ertions. The secretary of war is considering whether or not to refuse the resignations that are cooling in constantly increasing num- bers. \ ‘ —Thc situation is natural enough. The private manufacturers, having obligat- ed themselves to turn out 'big‘ war or- ders, find that they need experts to supervise the work. The men needed lare in the employ of the government. iThey must have the experts at any price. They offer the army men two or three times their present salaries. The bait is tempting. Au officer’s pay is never large, considering the position he has to maintain. Like every other man, he yearns for a comfortable in- come and a competence. 'llut there is also the question of honor. 'An officer is trained'at West Point Oat the expense of the nation. For that, he is expected to give the nation at' least eight years of honest service. The spirit of the army has al- ways been opposed to resignations ev~ on at the expiration of that time. The army has had its professional pride its traditions cit-unselfish service, its lof- ty disregard of money, no less than have the teaching and clerical profes- sions. - It is a pity for the army and the country if that spirit is to be sun-end. ered now, at a. time when the nation- al welfare demands, more'tlian it has for many years, military organization complete" and efficient in every depart- ment, and particularly a plentiful sun ply of officers ready for instant serv vice. i POISON VICTIMS BEGOVERING.‘ OLD MYSTIC, Count, July' 8.-Mrs. ’William P.

The following is notia piece of sum- mer fiction but an actual conversation, the names alone'belug fictitious: "Dear me! i do feel so happy,” said Mrs. Collins as she dropped down in- to a chair InMrs. W'hitmarsh"s parlor. “I've just been downvtown shopping. I stopped at the bank and deposited my month's savings. 'I had ten dollars to deposit." "I declare," exclaimed Mrs. Whit- marsh, ”I don't see how you do it. Your husband doesn't give you a cent more than mine gives me, there aren't any less in your family and you seem to have just as many things as I do. But. as for my saving! Why, we are always way behind on some 'bill or other. llow in the world do you dot it?" “Well, you see," said Mrs. Collins. modestly, “my father and _ mother taught me to save when I was a girl. i began than to mat my nickels into a little savings bank. New whenever i think of a way of saving! always put the difference between what I might have spent and what I do spend right into my bank. If it's only live cents. in it goes, and it's two dollars I make myself put that in, too." “But where do you save?" interrup- ted Mrs. Whitmarsh.

Alexander'J. liemphiil, treasurer of the Commission for Relief in Belgium, of 71 Broadway, New York, has given .out the following statement: “Despite the elaborate financial sis- tem devised and put into operation by the Commission for Relief in Belgium, whereby the aid that has been extend- ed to the women, children and non- combatants of Belgium has been re- duced to a business basis, the charity of the world, and of the United States in particular, is still needed to feed the destitute of that country. According to the latest report of the commission in London, it has been made possible for the commission to enable fully 75 per cent. of the Bel- gians to utilise their own energies and resources without recourse to charity, This is accomplished by a system of money exchange adopted by the com- mission which, by agrgement “with the Belgians themselves, receives payment in gold for accounts due to the Bel- gians by persons or institutions in oth- er countries, and in turn pays over to . them curtail amounts in the paper dur- reucy of the kin - value outside 0 that: country. but which the commission has accepted and is accepting as payment for the food provided. .

It will not bill, for although Uncle Sam did his duty when the first Macedonian cry, ‘Come and help us!’ was heard, and did not pass by on the other side and leave the sorely wounded people to perish of famine, he is just as ready to answer a becond or a third ditty call, and to keep on answering as long as Belgium’s necessities last."
