With Congress appropriating the
staggering sum of $640,000,000 for the
purchase of airplanes, the conviction
is borne in upon the American people
that the war is to be won in the air.
The feats of warplanes, therefore,
becomes the most fascinating of all
studies. In order that the Kansas
people may familiarize themselves
with the actual work of this branch
of the army servlc*. Louis Gerston,
member of the United States Army
Aviation Corps has been engaged by
the Wichita Fair and Exposition to re
produce the feats of the battling air-
men on the French front. Recause his
contract was made before the declara
tlon of war. Gerston has been permit-
ted to fly here before sailing for
Europe to Join his corps.
The exhibitions are free and he will
fly day and night. He is a master in
the art of looping the loop and all
manner of diving and twisting which

HERE’S TIP TO MR. HOOVER.
Why Not Draft Oklahoma Rabbits For
Nation’s Meat Supply?
Tbe humble rabbit Is threatened
with being drafted Into the food con-
servation campaign. Oklahoma has
more rabbits, both cottontails and
Jackrabblts, than the state has any
P°ssible use for and the crop and or-
seen at the|C?frd damage from these pests prob-
lably runs into hundreds of thousands
of dollars each year.

--—--- ho®e demonstration work. Emerg-
ency appropriations by congress for .
agricultural work have made these
facts possible.
Oklahoma was already approaching
this ideal. When the emergency ap-
propriation was passed, 67 of the 77
counties had men agents at work.
Thirty-five of them had women
agents. For some time the Extension
Division of A. & M. College and the
U. S. Department of Agriculture have
been combing the country for the
right kind of men and women for this
work. Jt is agreed that the success
of the work depends very largely up-
on the personality of the agent andi
the men of the peculiar type and
training desired are very hard to find.
In addition to the county men and1
women agents four cities of the state
will get women agents in the food
conservation work. Oklahoma City,
Tulsa, Muskogee and McAlester have
been designated. These women
agents will help co-ordinate the rela-
tions between city and farm in the
matter of food production and con-
servation.
In counties having large negro pop-
ulations, special negro agents, both
men and women, will be employed.
These agents will work with negroes
entirely and will be under direction of
the white agents in the counties in
9-28.

trance of the exposition.
Tho architects of the West have
gradually evolved something entirely
new and fresh in ths artistic lines of
thoir latest designs. There is some-
thing of tho old Spanish Mission style
about the plains architecture. It hai
the long horisontal lines and the over-
hanging shade-producing roofs and
cornices and the flat effect which
givM the idea of avoiding tho strength
of the breeset. The new design, how-
ever, relieves the otherwise squat ef-
fect by introducing bold, long verti-
*7. *nd * square masslvenesi
which givea the idea of virility and
substantial power which is possessed
by Kansas people.

The war is tho overshadowing pub-
■s question of tho day and tho Intar-
pattonol Wheat Show sad Food Caa-
■•vetion Congress, to ha held at
^•Uta, October 1-11, 1P17, has laid
•teedal stress oa questions pertain-
teg to tho war.
A Matprteeuhm display from ths
war and Navy departments will ha
under the direction of the Kansas
Council of Defense, and the people
who take part are the people who
know just what they are doing, un-
like the grotesque caricatures posing
as “farmers” in the typical “old
homestead 'stuff” put on at Los An-
geles or New York studios, with card-
board scenery in the background and
the air full of whiskers.
The elderly farmer in this photo-
play, like most Kansas farmers, has
no long whiskers. He is clean-shaven.
You will like him, for he is a good old
man with a strong face and the way
he goes about shocking wheat or fix-
ing the clevis or tying the hitch-strap
or what-not, you will soon know that
he is the real thing. Although you
will like him, you will soon have to
sdmit that he has tho wrong side of
the argument %nd his son has the
right side. The son beats his dad in
raising wheat and that forms a part
of the plot. The son becomes inter-
ested in the appeal of the Kansas
Council of Defense for more and bet-
ter wheat, and he tries to get his fa-
ther interested. The old man pokes
fun at the “new-fangled notions” and
refuses to listen to the boy. But the
young man persists, so the father
permits him to try out the thing he
has become so crazy about. Then the
Girl appears. It becomes interest-
ing.
The picture was taken with charm-
ing Kansas scenery in the back-
ground. Very likely many of our
readers will recognise it And when
you see the hands stop in the middle
of the field, with the mother coming

bits, particularly Jackrabblts, are sub-
ject In these qeasons to “warbles”
and other diseases or parasites that
are unpleasant to think of Even in
the summer months young rabbits ri-
val chicken as a delicacy.
Mrs Laura M. McClain, woman
agent for Harper County, Okla
writes as follows concerning these
farm and orchard pests:
“The rabbits are doing a great deal
of damage to crops here, in fact
thousands of dollars worth of crops
are destroyed each year bv them I
am told. In tbe canning of meats we
?ahhi»t0 n,cJu<ie ,he canning of the
rabbit, as this will not only prevent
the damage to crops in the future but
will mean a nice sum of money for the
famines of the county, should they
the™ t0„SeI1 them '“stead of using
them. Many people are using the
n ce young rabbits right along and
others are prejudiced against them. I
think because they are so common.”
So far Mr. Hoover hasn’t had much
to say about the rabbit, but a Jackrab-
bit will weight nearly as much as a
capon and is said to make excellent
sausage when mixed with a little pork
Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas could
supply enough of this meat to supply
an army and once the butcher shops
and packing plants recognize the rab-
bit aa a legitimate branch of their !n-
duatry we will have more meat and
fewer mutilated fruit trees.
which they are working, it is ex-
peeled that four men and four womea
will be employed in this work.
The Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs have
grown until it has been found neces-
sary to add four field agents to care
for this phase of the work. These
agents will work throughout the en-
tire state, directing club activities in
conjunction with the county agents.!
mere are now piore than 20,000 boys 1
BlrI® enrolled in these agricul-
mtfal,a.n<1 home demonstration clubs.
The latest addition to these clubs is
Ohe wheat club, which starts this fall.
Each boy will cultivate from one to
®ve,.acres, °f wh®at under direction
of the club department. Through
careful cultivaUon It is believed that
the boys will do much this year to-
ward Increasing production of cot-
whii gfh'n .8orghum> Peanuts, etc.,
while the pig club, poultry club, can-
nlng club, etc., enrolling both boys
and girls, will add much to the food
supply of the state.
