Kan., Oct. 28.—Six Inches of snow has fallen in northern Kan sas yesterday. , ROLLING CANTEEN NEAR BATTLE LINE Y. M. C. A. Meets Soldiers at Crossroads Going and Coming From Fight 'Paris, Oct. 28. —"Gosh, what la it?" "Looks like a circus wagon." "Gotta Y. M. C. A. sign on it." Aw, thick! It's one of those Y. M. rollin' canteens." It was a rolling canteen of the ' latest type, making Its trial trip up 'behind the lines to serve soldiers I coming out. | Only it didn't roll. It didn't keep pace with the men on the march: Its crew kept going until they found ka nice, quiet spot adjacent to a cross roads where traffic, was heavy and i constant. There they cast anchor and went to work. This Canteen represents an earn est effort to furnish to Combat units some of the little luxuries of living. Getting cigarets, cookies and chocolate to the men on the firing line is at best Individual and spas modic. Most of the work has to be done by night. And even then, some officers rightly consider it not only too dungerous but also too distract ing to be allowed. But there is almost always oppor tunity to meet the men as they come out of the lines to return to the rear areas for rest. To surprise them at intermediate points on the way Is one of the absorbing ambitions of the Y. M. C. A.I and this new can teen is a step toward the attain ment of that ambition. It's nothing more or less than a big box on wheels, and only two wheels at that. It hooks on behind i a truck which will carry between i three and five tons of stuff, and goes bouncing over the battles-carred roads to sopie place chosen In ad vance and approved by the military authorities. Xo One Has to Wait In front is a fixed prop that pre vents the canteen from tumbling over on ita nose. In the rear is a flight of s"ps which lets down and keeps the wagon on even keel. On either side, in the center, is a large window with a projecting counter. There is room inside for two workers at each window so that taking care of almost any number of customers is easy. No one has to wait long in line. The whole front of the canteen's Interior is divided into compart ments for the storing of supplies. Each compartment is within quick reach of every person at the coun ters. Efficient placing of things for sale means little wnste motion. With help to keep the shelves always full, four, workers handle severat thousand soldiers a day. Not the least important part of the equipment is a field stove and j boilers to fit. This stove may be set up inside or carried outside, as the captain of the canteen crew thinks best. Its principal function is to draw well wherever it is placed and boil the chocolate which is served free to the men. This h6t chocolate, by the way, is in danger of becoming the American national drink in France. Vin rouge and vin blanc have no chance whatever against it. Thousands of quarts of it are drunk daily. The supply seldom equals the demand. I have seen a line of soldiers as long as a city block waiting patiently to get up to the hot chocolate spigot with their canteen cups. And I have met mahy a man who, after getting one drink, has begun at the foot of the line again to have another. To draw off a cupful at night for drinking next morning at breakfast is a favorite pastime. "Don't make any difference if it is cold." said a soldier who had been in the line for ten days. "It sure goes better'n army coffee." One its trial trip the rolling can teen got rid of several thouand cups of chocolate without the aid of a barker to tell the passing troops to step up and have some. And the quantity would undoubtedly have been doubled if the water supply had been adequate. All water had to be carted a distance of five kilo meters, with the result'that John H. Thompson, of Minneapolis, Minn., official mixer with the party never had enough to keep the boilers con tinually full. At the Cross Roads The first stamping ground of the new rolling canteen was under the lee of a chateau which had been turned inti a Held hospital. Less than a week before the Germans had been quartered there. Within a stone's throw was a junction of two roads, one marked, "to the front," and the other, "to the rear." The passing of the troops was al most incessant. They went by on foot, in trucks, on motorcycles and in automobiles. They represented every rank, from a brigadier general to a raw private. One of the brigadier generals spent all the fruncs that he was allowed Dr. C. C. Stauffer HAS MOVED HIS OFFICE TO 1516 N. Second Street LASSES can help or hurt your eyes.

"Th'ls Is a spJendld Idea," he told a secretary at the counter. "Hope you can keep It up." When the canteen opened It had nearly four tons of stuff on the truck to draw from. The assort ment consisted of clgarets, cigars, sweet cookies, writing paper and envelopes, chewing gum. chocolate In powder form, lime Juice and con densed milk. The chocolate, the lime Juice and the milk were, of course, not for sale, and on ac count of the water shortage many a scldier v/ent on his way with a quantity of one or other of the ar iSOUTTER'S 25c DEPT.
