Marie Buehanan:
Greetings to you and your fine group of women of the Kansas University Glee Club. I have heard so many fine things about your work here and want to take this opportunity of expressing the appreciation of all the men as well as of myself. You covered yourself with glory, for all the men there are still thanking us for your program and I want if possible to pass it on to you. It isn't an easy thing to please a large audience of soldiers and I feel that you did it with perfect ease.
I wanted to tell you all good- bye and thank you all personally
• for your fine contribution to this camp.
Will you please extend our heartiest thanks to all who came and to those who made your coming possible. I trust that we shall be able to repay you in some way at some future time.
Very truly yours, F. WHATHERWAY
Camp Social Secretary

Pessimistic Predictions
About Food Prove False
When the food administration was organized shrewd political observers predicted freely that Mr. Hoover's tenure of office would be brief. It was urged that all manner of interests would find themselves aggrieved by food regulations. It was predicted that farmers would be discontented with the price-fixing plan of the food administration and would reduce production. Millers and bakers were expected to cry out against the plans for regulating their margins and the distribution of supplies. It was further predicted that the food administration would fail of substantial results because it had not the effective force to check waste and control prices to the ultimate consumer. Fortunately for the American people, all these predictions have proved false. The farmers may think the price of wheat too low, but they have sown a greater acreage to wheat than ever before in our history. With a tolerably satisfactory season we shall have a large surplus of export to our allies. The millers and bakers have as a rule accepted Hoover's decrees without inquiring too closely into the question whether they could really be enforced. There is not a shadow of doubt that the ultimate consumer gets his bread much cheaper than he could have obtained it if we had relied upon the free play of competition for our price regulation. Out of a nation of wasters we have been transformed into a people who regard the waste of food as a sin. War bread is on every table, and the wheat thus saved has been shipped in great volume to our Allies. Hoover has succeeded beyond the hopes of his friends and his enemies have been confounded.—Nev Republic.
ALL WITHIN TEN YEARS
It is difficult to believe that only ten years ago today the Wright brothers made their first short flight with a heavier-than-air machine on the beach at Kitty Hawk, N. C. Today the skies over the battlefields of Europe are filled with airplanes fighting each other and from great heights dropping bombs upon the enemy, and workmen are preparing for the inauguration next week of the war in Afghanistan between Washington, Philadelphia and New York. Truly these are speedy times!—New York Herald.
STANDING THE GAFF
This country is going through a period such as England experienced during the early days of the war, a time when the normality of life is being interfered with, and people are liable to become disturbed and uncertain of themselves and troubled about affairs. Because we are creatures of habit and wedded to a wonted environment, innovations and the disaffected mind of which we areainted are calculated to trouble us. But to cry aloud and sit in gloom because of the untoward, however much we may dislike it, is to be mastered by circumstantes and not to master them, to exhibit weakness and fail in strength—Springfield Republican.
