BATTLE mn LAST FRIDAY The Casualties Hare Been Heavy on Both Sides. Many Small Encounters Took Place In the Streets. Torreon, Mexico, Aphil 3. (Via Gomel Palacio). This city, strewn with the dead and wounded of a six days' battle, has been occupied by the rebels on the heel of the fleeing fed erals. Last Friday night General Villa ob- talned the services of British Vice Con sul H. S. Cunard Cummins, at Gomez Palacio to enter the federal camp with a message demanding surrender. The reply from the federal comman der, General Refugio Velasco, came next morning in the form of a cannonading to which Villa promptly responded, That evening Cummins In an automo bile and carrying a white flag, returned to Gomes Palacio with a proposition from Velasco that both sides agree to a truce while the dead were being buried. Firing had ceased while the British official waa returning but Vina promptly resumed J,t by way of reply when Velasco's suggestion was given him. In all the fighting no foreigner was killed or injured. The taking of the city marks the cli max of the first campaign of Villa to oust Victoriano Huerta from the pres idential castle In the City of Mexico. It gives the constitutionalists virtual control over the entire northern tier of Mexican states. A Week of Fighting. The fighting here began last Friday and was almost continuous. At first Villa attempted assaults on the strong federal position in daylight but these proved costly so the days were spent In cannonading and the nights in as saults. Positions were taken and lost time and again. Several night attacks sent the federals scurrying from strong positions but at daybreak the captors would be compelled to abandon them by the strength and accuracy of the enemy's artillery fire, much' of which in said to have been directed by French and German gunners. Losses have not been compiled but roughly. General Villa estimates his own losses at. 600 killed and 1,500 wounded and the federal loss at 1,000 dead and 2,500 wounded with an unknown number of prisoners. Villa believes that the federala be ing pursued by his cavalry to the south form but a remnant of the fed era, force whose loss he says prob ably is close to being total. Not all the subordinate generals have report ed, however, and until they do, just how many were captured cannot be stated accurately. Battle Line Four Miles Long. The battle line was four miles long and the field was determined by three great hills formed like a carpenter's scuare at either end or wmcn lay tne towns of Gomez Palacio and Torreon. The federals had fortified the hills with rifle pits, trenches and barb wire ertanglements. The nature of the ground. made it difficult to recover the wounded and many of them died of thirst and hunger or lack of atten ticn where they fell. Automobiles were used In rescue work but they could not ascend the SAYS SHE DIDN'T MARRY GARDENER p 1 Miss Jaliet Breitutg. irk. Miaa Jnltat Rmltrmf'. daughter of Edward N. an.!

It is issued under authority of the Constitutionalist regime. The fac simile reproduced is for one peso, or dollar. The bill does not indicate that there is anything; behind it other than the simple announcement that it is worth one peso; but it circulates in northern Mexico for the value of 1 of American money because any one not accepting it at its face value is liable to be shot. v h'llside. Along the bases of the hills run the railroad tracks and in this field the battle was foueht. Some of the fiercest fighting took place in the hills south of Gomez Palacio and west of Torreon. It raged with great fury on the Canyon de Huarache where the federals made their last desperate stand and from which they finally fled followed by a column or. villa's Horsemen. The opposing forces were about equal in numbers, probably 10,000 on a siae. Twice the rebels took two of the hills, only to lose them, but all the time the attack was becoming more formidable as the soldiers attacking from all sides except the west, fight ing from house to house, drew the cir cle closer about the enemy. Fought in the Streets. A hundred small encounters occur red In the streets or- over the posses sion of some favored roof but domi nating all was the roar and thunder of the cannon. Both sides used armored trains. These with big guns mounted, would suddenly appear around an elbow of one of the hills, discharge a broadside and then retire.- Early in the attack on Gomes Palacio, they happened to venture out at the same time and a lively exchange of shots ensued like a naval engagement on land. The federals made use of huge rock ets which were shot to a great height. exploded in the air and let down a hail of buckshot. On the fourth day of the fight the intense suffering- from heat and thirst was relieved by a rain thought to have been brought on by the heavy firing. In -the course of the battle, scouts brousrht word that federal reinforce ments from Monterey were approach ing on the east. General Huerrera was sent against them and later reportea that he had sent them scurrying into the hills. Great supplies of food, am munition and artillery and stores of cotton fell Into the rebel hands by the capture. Results of Victory. Juarez, April 3. With the taking of Torreon by the rebels, constitutional ists now control an immense wedge shaped portion or Mexico with the point resting on Torreon, 500 miles south of here, and top extending along the American border from Nogales, (Continued on Page Two.) OFFICIAL REPORT. American Consul Confirms Fall of Torreon. News of Washington, April 3. The capture of Torreon from the federals by Villa and his constitutionalist forces waa of ficially reported to the state depart ment late today by George C. Carotlr ers, special consular agent, who ac companied Villa to Torreon. He said he would forward details later. Carothers also reported the federals abandoned all their dead and wound ed and fled from Torreon last night. presumably southward. Instructions to hold up, under the immigration law, any of the Mexican refugees interned at Fort Bliss who may be released under pending habeas corpus proceedings, have been sent by Commissioner Caminetti to immigra tion inspectors along the border. In case the habeas corpus is granted the refugees will be immediately rearrest ed and their right to enter the United States tested. Mr. Caminetti said to day that the question of whether the refugees would be deported should they be held to have entered the United States illegally, has not been taken up. In Blot Pursuit. Juarez, April 3. The rebel pursuing force this morning engaged the rear guard of the fugitive federals at San Pedro, 26 miles east of Torreon, killing 100 and capturing 123, according to a report received from General Villa this afternoon. 1 1 Tampico Is Next. Washington, April 3. Constitution alist outposts within five miles of Tampico are preparing to attack the city. Rear Admiral Fletcher reported today, adding he had private advices that the federals were preparing to surrender without resistance.

MAKE THIS STRIP OF PAPER WORTH DOLLAR WTaBiBAf t Mexican Rebel Honey "Accept It or FOR DETENTION 110" Speakers of Good Citizenship League Would Protect Juveniles. Emporia, Kan., April 3. A state detention home to care for fallen women was recommended by Mrs. E. 71. Marshall of Topeka, addressing the annual convention of the Kansas Citi zens' league today. "The white slave law recently put on our statute books provides for the convicted male offender," said Mrs. Marshall. "It gives him a place of residence, but no mention is made of housing his female companion. The l?.w leaves her an outcast with no place of shelter. "These women and all fallen women found in our cities and towns are de nied admission to the state industrial school for girls. There 1b need of a home to care for these as well as to protect public. To fill this need I would suggest a state detention home where teachers can be proyided to teach the inmates the proper prospective of life. "Where they have gone wrong from impulse, incarceration will give them time to reflect. If idleness is the root of the evil teach them industry. Above all I should recommend that they be given wholesome literature." Mrs. S. E. Thorpe, police matron of Topeka, and Mrs. J. S. West also of Topeka, spoke on the state obligations in the care of neglected and delin quent children. Mrs. Thorpe saidr "The state is doing its share far bet ter than the counties in the care of 'other people's children.'. .Two lndis trial schools are provided and both are crowded. An asylum and or phans' home are provided. There is no longer room in either. The county must gather and care for these chil dren and from one to three weeks usually is necessary in investigating and providing for a charge. This pri mary necessitates a detention home as an adjunct to each Juvenile court. A few counties have made attempts at the establishment of such homes, but such are reported as not satisfac tory. In most of our cities, as in To peka, the jails are used for this pur pose. There among the cells and halls of the wreckage of humanity must these small brothers and sisters of ours be detained in our 'first aid' treatment for vice and poverty and defection. "They cannot but see and hear un wholesome things in such surround ings." Among the speakers on tonight's program are three candidates for gov ernor. Governor Hodges, Arthur Cap per, and George W. Kleihege, profes sor in Washburn college, Topeka, and Socialist candidate for governor. Henry Allen, editor Wichita Beacon, TOFJ2KA. KANSAS. APRIL 3, t wmm i i Die."

The letter will be read tonight by Miss Helen E acker, secretary of the league. Dr. S. J. Crumblne of Topeka spoke on the "Conservation of the Race." Mrs. Park Morse of this city made an address on the topic,. "Property Rights for Married Women, and Mrs. S. B. Graves of Topeka conducted a discus sion of the same subject. The ques tion "Minimum Wage and Maximum Hours" was presented by Mrs. Nan Wiilison P perry of Kansas City. Be sides speeches by candidates for gov ernor of Kansas, tonight's program includes addresses by W. T. Morgan, editor of the Hutchinson News, and Mrs. Agnes L. Riddle of the Colorado legislature. At tomorrow's session there will be discussions along educa tional lines. RAW NORTHEAST WIND it Has Held Needle Down .Today; Weather to Moderate Saturday.

The sealing steamer Southern Cross, famous aa one of the vessels Used in the Snack leton antarctic expedition, appears to have come safely through the storm of Tuesday, which brought death- to more, than-sixty members .of the crew of the sealer Newfoundland. Meager advices received early to day indicated the Southern Cross was safe at Channel, N. F., a tiny port near Cape Race, and that the sealer Erite Jerick also was there. The crip pling of the Cape Race wireless sta tion in Tuesday's gale made it dif ficult to obtain further nartlculara, The Bellaventure, one of the sealing fleet, was nearing this port today, Tin the midst of another storm, bringing 5 bodies and 36 survivors of .the men of the Newfoundland, who were over whelmed by the blizzard while hunt ing seals on the ice floes. Sixty-four men are Known to have perished. After getting out of range of the wireless station at Cape Fogo, on Fogo island, a third of the way down the east coast from the sealing grounds, the Bellaventure was unable to send further news of the disaster. Everything was in readiness here for the care of the bodies and the relief of the suffering men who had escaped death but had been severely injured by 48 hours' exposure to the bitter wind and driving snow. It was arranged to take tne survivors to the Orenfell Sea men's Institute. There are two dis tinct sealing grounds to which vessels of the -i Newfoundland fleet make their annual trips. The steam er Newfoundland was with 14 oth ers of the fleet off the east coast near the Strait of Belle Isle. The Southern Cross with five other sealers did its hunting on the opposite side of the island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. THE DAY IN CONGRESS Fight on Confirmation of Daniels Con- tlnnes in Senate.

Official announcement was made in railway circles today of an Increase of 25 per cent in the working time of 1,000 mechanics of the Santa Fe shops in San Bernardino, Cal. This is gain 6f one-fourth over the schedule maintained since the first of the year and a like gain over the present time In the Topeka shops of the Santa Fe railway. The increase in the west failed to elicit a promise of better times from the officials of the Santa Fe in To peka. It was stated that the forces in tne west were Increased owing to the traffic conditions on the coast. The Pacific country is shipping hundreds of carloads of oranges daily and the r&iiroads are keeping up their equip ment. "I can hardly see where a chanare will came to the Topeka shops before time xor moving tne wheat," H. B. Lautz, assistant to the general mana ger, said this afternoon.

At Piedras Negras, .known also as Ciudad Porfirio Dias, aerou the Rio arande from Eagle Pass, there is a federal garrison, but It does not now constitute a menace to tne rebels. The states now subject to the rebel arms are Chihuahua, Sonora (except the port of Guaymai), most .of Coahuila, Durango and Slnaloa. Villa's victory is said to make the capture of Saltillo and Monclovia, in 'Coahuila and Monterey, the key to the atate of Nuevo Leon, assured. The main federal force, according to Villa's 'report to General Carranza, was wiped out by death, wounas, capture or flie-ht at Gomes Palacio and Torreon, Mazatlan, the federal port in the state of Slnaloa. bv the release 01 tne vet "eran rebel army at Torreon, also is in a precarious state, l nus ny ms sua eescful campaign of last month. Gen ral Francisco Villa has practically as Bared rebel control of the vast terri tory of the northern states of Mexico and gained for himself the reputation of being the foremost soldier of the country. How Villa Began. It was but little over a year ago that he started out from a village near here with two companies, six horses, seven dollars In money and a meagre supply of beans, coffee and sugar. The horses at the time were not paid for and Villa's first act. upon capturing this city three months ago, was to re- pay the liveryman from whom the' Horses were "borrowea. General Pablo Gonzales, for months has harassed the federal forces at Monclovia and Monterey and now that the Torreon army is loosed, strategists here assume that the federals will evacuate these points and attempt a retreat to Tamplco, the seaport of the atate of Tamaulipas. This state la sprinkled with rebel troops all along the line of retreat, which makes It evi dent that the federal garrisons already are threatened with capture by Im mensely superior numbers. A railroad runs from Torreon to the city of Durango which is held by the rebels, and the overland Journey from that point to Mazatlan lies through a country which is agriculturally rich and well watered. It would be a pleasant march for an army fresh from the horrors of hunger and thirst In tho desert. The railroad is cut at Picardis, where the big steel bridge over the river of that name was wrecked six months ago. Troops could be moved lover it, however, by the use of shuttle trains. Juarez Went Mad. Interest here today was divided In speculation as to Villa's future move ments and the effect if any that the rebel triumph would have In Washing ton. Never In all Its dramatic history, since the Madero revolution of 1910, has Juares gone so mad with enthusiasm, as it did when a foot messenger from -military headquarters ran through the streets shrieking that Torreon had fallen. Drunk with elation, men em braced each other wherever they met. Bells In the 30b year old Mission of Guadalupe were set ringing louder and faster than -sver they have rung for religious purposes. Khaki-clad rebel soldiers woke from their sleep in the town's many barracks to cheer. Then stirred by a common impulse, their rifles were turned loose Into the air. For a time. Inhabitants of El Paso supposed Juares was again suffering one of its periodical attacks. FTnely dressed officials, high In the Carranza administration, threw their arms around unwashed private soldiers (in the streets and yelled their delight. The municipal band, hastily routed from their beds, paraded through the streets, playing the national hymn, and serenading Carranza until the consti tutionalist leader tired of the music. In the gambling hall, conducted by Villa's agents, for the benefit of the rebel treasury, all play ceased while gamblers, game keepers and spectators alike shouted their Joy. They Shout Villa's Name. Through it all, only one name was heard above all othera It was Villa "Viva Villa." Common soldiers mingled freely with the highest offi cials of the rebel government in a cabaret resort and were Invited to drink to the glory of the insurgent army. Virtually the only place open in the Mexican border town where drinks might be bought, this cabaret was crowded to the- doors with civil and military men of all ranks. In all stages of dress, for the hour was late, they crowded in to embrace friends and toast the conquering general. In the midst of all the rejoicing. Amerl can ragtime music tingled from an antiquated piano in the corner, while American women from El Paso's siums danced the one-step with Mexi can partners In the middle of the big room. When the shooting of rifles and pistols In celebration began, dozens of federal sympathizers in El Paso awoke and made a rush for the international bridge, thinking that, by some unex pected stroke of fortune, federal forces were attacking Juarez. But they turned back crestfallen when in lormed. by American soldiers on duty at the bridge that the fall of Torreon was the cause. Rebel soldiers guard ing the Mexican end of the structure saw the proceedings and howled tuunting insults at the "Huertaistas," who had "come to see the federals re take Juarez." By 2 o'clock in the morning the ex citement had died away and the streets were deserted. Plans are un der way for a formal celebration this afternoon over which General Car ranza will preside.

The sudden and mysterious disap pearance of the Princess Metchersky of Russia baa at last been cleared up. At the time she disappeared it was rumored that she had been assassi nated by Russian Nihilists, and man-' tears were shed. The mystery was cleared op a couple of weeks ago. capital was Ignorant today of the fall of Torreon. None of the newspapers contained any intimation of the fed eral defeat. On the contrary, all gave assurances snat General Javier de Moure had won a great victory over the rebels, close to Torreon, while the constitutionalists were trying to prevent him and his reinforcing army from effecting a junction with General Velasco, the federal commander at Torreon. General Velasco is alleged, by the newspapers to have repulsed General Villa's rebel army, which, it is said, has retired definitely and is attempt ing to reorganize in Jiminez." Mexico Won't Give Up. Washington, April 8. The Mexican embassy here today still claimed vic tory for the federal forces at Torreon. Charge Algara today gave out this statement: "An official dispatch signed by the secretary of foreign affairs. Senor Lopez PortlHo y Rojas, has just been received at the embassy, giving ansac count of the crushing defeat of the rebel forces under Villa at Torreon. General Maas, who left Saltillo several days ago, with large reinforcements, has arrived at Torreon. General De Moure's column has reached San Pe dro De Las Colonials, where a deci sive defeat was administered to the rebel forces sent out to oppose the. advance. The government has also succeeded in raising a loan of over 50,000,000 pesos, which will material ly assist It In its tireless efforts to wards pacification." Fall of Torreon Denied. Mexico City, April 8. General Blan- quet today denied, to the Associated Press, that there was any truth in the report of the fall of Torreon. As late as noon no paper had pub lished the news and it was doubtful whether a dozen persons in the federal capital were- aware of the facts. WHEN JUAREZ HEARD NEWS Whole Town Was Aroused by the Bugle Call of Victory. Juarez, April 3. The news of the fall of Torreon was first announced to the world when the bugler in front of Carranza's residence blew the stac cato notes of victory. The paean, Carranza said, was sounded here even before It was heard in Torreon, Villa delaying out of compliment to his chief. The campaign against the federal stronghold of Torreon, the main ob ject of the rebel campaign, began sev eral weeks ago, after Villa had spent months in making the most careful preparations. The rebel commander moved with a rapidity hitherto unknown in Mexi can warfare. He worked his men in shifts and as one shift became ex hausted he sent freeh hosts against the enemy. A number of small towns of lesser importance in a military sense, fall first Mapimi, Noe and Sacramento, where a bloody battle was fought. This opened a path for the main attack. JNext came Lerdo and Gomez Palacio. populous suburbs of Torreon and ail three connected by a belt street car line. Lerdo was not defended but it took three main assaults in which the rebels lost heavily to takn Rnmsi Palacio. In the final attack upon the city troops were withdrawn from Lerdo. whereupon the federals occupied it and another sanguinary conflict was neces sitated to retake it. Last Friday, one week ago, General Monclovia Herrera. with his own bri gade and part of Benavides Zaragoza brigade of veterans made the first dash against Torreon. He entered by the east and penetrated into the bull ring, north of the center of the town, before ne was cneckea. Street fighting, In which &nd gren ades were the most useful weapons used, followed and news from the front, save in meager official bulletins re ceived with considerable reserve, were all that reached the outside world. General Villa, then in Gomes Palacio. announced that he would Join in the at- tacK, taking supreme command. He an nounced also that the newspaper men with him would not be allowed to send out any news whatsoever until the town was completely in his hands. Rumors were everywhere and from time to time the federals declared that Villa had been routed, but Villa let out Just enough of his official reportvl to oewiiaer tne public. The question mark after the situa tion never loomed larger than It did last night. Early In the evening Car ranza announced' that the status at Torreon remained unchanged. Then came the bugle call of victory. Mexicans recognized it in a flash and the streets became thronged instantly Out of dwellings, saloons and gam bling, houses the crowd rushed until they were empty -and the throngs however, when she was found danc ing at the seashore at Nice, France. When told of the worry she had brought on her friends, she shrugged ner snouiaers ana saia in tin "I should worry." stormed up the street to Carranza's residence. Again and again the bugler sound ed the call and a great wave of cheer ing arose. The resorts which have gained for Juarez in the minds of some students the name of the wick edest city in the world, were empty. The electric lights strung around the Carranza residence last Sunday to welcome him, were turned on, light ing up the draped and festooned red, white and green of the Mexican na tional colors. "Viva Carranza! Viva Madero! Viva Mexico," came the shill, hysterical cries of the crowd. Inside, General Carranza and his confidential advisers were drinking champagne to Francisco Villa, the hero of the campaign. The translation of General Villa's message is as follows: "Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico, April 2. General Venustiano Carranza, Su preme Chief of the Constitutionalists: "In this moment the remnants of the federals are leaving Torreon In flight after eleven days of terrible fighting in which we lost 1,500 wound ed and 500 killed and the federals. from the enormous number of bodies buried, must have had over 1,000 killed and their number of wounded' I am unable to estimate. "Our forces have full possession of Torreon. I regret to announce that among the wounded were General Yzabel Robles and General Calixto Contreras. I congratulate and salute you. with respect and esteem that I have always had lor -you, your suo ordinate, "GENERAL FRANCISCO VILLA, "Commander-in-chief Constitutionalist forces of Chihuahua." By Carranza's orders all the town was illuminated, soldiers of the gar rison paraded. and the military band played. The national salute was fired. church bells rung and whistles blown. In El Paso when the .noise of the tumult drifted over, curious persons called up the newspapers to find out if an attack on Juares was being made. The victory gave the rebels undis puted control of the central part of northern Mexico, six hundred miles south from the Rio Grande. Its full effect can not be summar ized in a moment, but in prestige and power It is said its value is incalcula- bie. It is certain to make recruiting a comparatively simple matter and holders of constitutionalist fiat money predicted a sudden rise in the rate when business is resumed. It was sell ing at 20 cents to the gold dollars. The force sent against Torreon was the largest and best of the revolu tions which began at the revolt of Francisco Villa four years ago. Villa claimed to have 15,000 men and con servative estimates give him nine to ten thousand men. They went south fully uniformed, with food for a month and' 2,000 rounds of ammuni tion to the man. Many of their losses were due to the fact that some of the home made shrapnel refused to work and to the fact that 8,000 cartridges said to have been bought in a Job lot, failed. It is said they were manufactured many years ago and the powder' had de toriated to an extent that the bullets flew not more than 20 feet. Some of the troops are said to have gone into action with these cartridges in their belts. A month or more ago the embargo on arms was raised and it was thought certain that at last Villa would move but still he sat in his office at Juarez. Then one day, a month ago, he gave his staff officers a half hour's notice and they were off after the troops that had preceded them. Then the reason for the delay came out. "I have perfected my water supply,' said Villa. "It was. my most serious problem. At Chihuahua there was more de lay but tremendous amount of work was being accomplished. Villa carried every detail in his own head and was ceaselessly active, in spiring and urging on his men. When he was ready for the next stage of the movement south every detail should be worked out. Twelve troop and supply trains were dispatched from Chihuahua at ten minute intervals without a hitch. The thin advance line of federals re treated before him and he took Ber mejillo with a rush, establishing a new base there. This work did not delay the onward press of the soldiers. The dust of unloading horses and mules had not settled when columns were sent east and south and the news of the taking of Bermejillo was still fresh vhen the reports of the fall of cities .n the Torreon district began to arrive. The conflicts in these places were not serious as far as the number of men engaged was concerned with the exception of the fight at Sacramento. The fight took place on the banks of an irrigation ditch and the losses while yet not .definitely, announced were admittedly heavy on both sides: T0CZ12D.inS. (Continued From .Page One.)

The organisation committee was not authorized by law to provide for branch banks of the federal reserve banks, but the act specifically states that such banks shall be established. This task will be left to the super vision of the federal reserve board, yet to be appointed by President Wilson. The ability of member banks within a district to furnish the necessary S4.OO0.O0O canital for the reserve banks; the mercantile, industrial and financial connections In each district and the relations between various portions and a reserve city, and the probable ability of a federal reserve bank to meet the legitimate demands of business "whether normal or ab normal;" the equitable situation avail able of each district, transportation lines and facilities for speedy com munication in it: the population, area and prevalent business activities of the district. How Apportionment Was Made. In a supplementary statement the committee gave the following statis tics used in determining the cities and districts: J No. 1, area in square miles, 88,465; population, 6,657,841. No. 2. area in square miles, 49,170; population, 9,113,279. No. 3, area in square miles,. 89,885; population, 8,110,217. No. 4. area in square miles, 183,995; population. 7.961,022.

No. 8, area In square miles, 148,474; population. 6.726,611. No. 9, area 'in square miles, 437,930; population, 6,724,893. No. 10, area in square miles, 609,849; population, 6,306,850. No. 11. area in square miles, 404,828; population, 5,310,664. No. 12, area in square miles, 893,658; population, 5.809,303. According. othia statement, .there will be at least 7,648 banks of all sorts members of the system, with total capital and surplus of 81,831,- -648,369. Their-6 per-. cent, subscrip tions would amount to 8108,898,302. ac cording to the committee's figures. To Open In Three Months. Although various steps still must be taken before the new federal reserve banking system begins operations. treasury officials expected today that the twelve regional reserve banks Would open for business within three months and that the t revolutionary change in the 'nation's 'financial ma chinery would be an accomplished fact within that time. sWith the des ignation of the reserve centers, the organization committee took the first decisive step toward perfection of this system. The first work today was official certification by- Comptroller of the Currency Williams, of the selections, and Mr. Williams began notifying every one of the 7,548 national and state banks which have applied for membership. It was the general expectation that member banks, in the twelve districts, would immediately begin preparing for the establishing of their reserve banks. Every bank under the law must begin payment of a subscrip tion of 6 per cent of its capital and surplus to the stock of its reserve bank within 30 days after notification. In a"cordance'wlth the law as soon as the member banks in a district have subscribed the minimum amount of stock for a reserve bank 84,00,000 five banks will be designated to ex ecute the formal certificate of organ ization. After its reception here the reserve bank will become a corporation and be entitled to begin business. The Next Step. The next step will be selection of boards of directors for the. reserve banks. There will Be nine directors for. each bank, three to be appointed by the federal reserve board,- which itself is yet to be named by President Wilson, and six elected by the mem ber banks in each district. Although the federal reserve board Is to choose three directors, in each reserve bank and appoint a. reserve agent for each bank, ho is to act as its mouthpiece,, the organization com mittee may perfect the organization of a reserve bank, for all practical purposes, before the reserve board is appointed and It is believed the com mittee will exercise this authority to launcn tne system as soon as possible. In the opinion of officials here, the transfer of money from member banks, in payment of their subscrln- tions to reserve banks, will be accom plished without disturbance to busi ness and without any curtailment of credit or retrenchment in loans or dis- D RUN KEN NESS is a curable disease, which, requires treatment.

The law gives nearly a year to the banks for the payment of one- half of their total subscriptions and it was believed that this time would prove sufficient in every case. Criticism Develops. Washington. April 3. Senator John W. Weeks, Republican, of Massachu setts, of tho senate banking commit tee, who was active in considering, the Glass-Owen bill, and finally voted for it, issued a statement today, saying he fairly questioned "the propriety of locating two banks in tne noma state of one of the members and one in that of each of tho other members and especially whan In two If not tnreo of these esses, they are not the natural location of reserve banks." "This apparent and confessed at tempt to limit tho business which nat urally goes to New Tork may prop erly bo criticised not only because it is unfair," said be. "but It is so un scientific that, .in the end, it will not be effective 'The most severe criticism, how ever, and one In which I am unquali fied, is the committee's tangoing about for the purpose of asking peo ple If they wanted a reserve bank. Of course the local pride of every com munity wouia develop the same re ply; and this had embarrassed the committee so that thev hv author. ized twelve banks, materially weaken ing tne system bv so doing, and de veloping a system for which there was reaiiy no demand. "I do not wish to appear in the posi tion of a carping critic but the result of the work of the committee bears out the criticism made at the time of the passage of the bill. The proper method by which to organize this sys tem was to appoint the reserve board that was to manage the avstem. and let them organise it. Then the organisa tion wouia nave been as far as possible removed from political considerations. Now having been organised by an es sentially political and partisan board, it bears all the earmarks of a result which might have been anticipated from such procedure."

Between Mount Hope and Andale there is a sharp curve In the Missouri Pacific track. Apparently there is no excuse for it for it is on level, prairie ground, the last place in the world one would expect such a sharp curve on a rail way. But there was a reason for that curve, ten thousand of them, in fact. For that curve cost the town of Mount Hope Just $10,000 which it put up to the Missouri Pacific Railway company. The plan of the promoters was to hold up the various towns for all they could get in the way of bonuses. The original plan was to build on west from Wichita and pass up Hutchinson. But U A. Bigger and other Hutchinson men put up such a stiff campaign that Jay Gould himself took a hand in it and the route was changed to bring the road through Hutchinson. From Maise the road runs almost due west to Andale. The survey con templated running on west through Castleton and Arlington toward Lrned or Great Bend, passing miles south of Hutchinson. But when Hutchinson people forced the road to build thts way the sur vey was changed and the plan was to make a straight shoot from An dale west to Hutchinson. The town of Mount Hope would be left some miles off the railway if this new sur vey were followed, and there was con sternation at Mount Hope. The people of the town raised a pot of J10.000 and paid the promoters to get the road switched a little north ward to pass through Mount Hope. It required a sharp curve Just west of Andale, near Cowskin creek, but the curve was put in, and it cost Mount Hope $10,000. That curve, by the way. later gave the promoters a lot of grief, for Jay Gould's engineers wouldn't approve of it at first and it nearly caused a hitch in the promoters unloading the branch onto the Missouri Pacific. It has al ways been more or less of a nuisance, too. Mount Hope was started as a town in 1877 and it was nine years later, in 1885, that the railway was built through there. Before that the people drove to Bun-ton. to the north to the railroad. The bridge was built across the river in 1878, Burrton paying $1,000 toward the cost of the bridge. Among the men who still live In Mount Hope who were heavy contrib utors toward the $10,000 railway curve were Messrs. T. H. Randall, who, by the way. located there in 1872 and is the town's oldest resident. Dailev. Bardshar, and Chris Thomas, who started a store in the new town in 1877. WHEAT PASTCRE PATS. Russell County Farmers Get Revenue From Pasturing Stork. Russell, Kan.. April -3. Farmers of this county report that the wheat crop is now in better condition than ever before at the same season. The wheat fields have paid for themselves now and will leave each farmer a small profit if not a single bushel of grain is raised, the pasture having saved the farmers hundreds of dollars. The most of the farmers who were com pelled to buy seed last fall have paid off their notes from pasture rentals. However, there is little or no doubt at this time that the crop this sum mer will be the best that has been raised in this and surrounding coun ties in years, barring storms and other unforeseen damage.

People of the Soil Dlsenss Po litical Questions. Manhattan, Kan., April S. An in crease of 3.200 per cent that is the membership record the Kansas farmers have made In their institutes the last eight years. In 1906 there were 13 defin itely organized farmers' Institutes in Kansas, while now there are 430 such organizations. These institutes have 16,000 farmers on their membership lists. E. Li. Holton. professor of rural -education, at the Kansas Agricultural col lege, worked out a plan for communi ty clubs two years ago while he was with the extension division of the col lege. His idea was to bring all the people of a neighborhood together. These "neighborhood welfare clubs" have been organised In many counties of the state. In some counties there are 20 or more such clubs. In Colony, Kan., a little town of 500 persons, the Community club is con ducting vegetable and flower garden contests that already include almost all the children of school age in town. In one rural church community in uougias county, ZOO members attended a recent meeting of the Neighborhood improvement club. The programs of these neighborhood clubs include exercises by the young people, songs, recitations, short papers or taixs, and tne careful and serious discussion of one subject of pertinent interest, rne recall, good roads, rural school problems, home sanitation, seed corn, the short ballot are a few of the subjects that have been discussed by some of these clubs. The extension division of the agri cultural college is glad to give as much help as possible to these cluh. Th work has grown rapidly, and is now of sucn importance that the college will appoint a man to give his whole time to these organizations. At present all inquiries for literature, and all requests for help in organization of these and similar clubs, should be addressed to the dean of the extension division of the Kansas Agricultural college.

NEGRO BAND MET HIM. Sol Butler, Hutchinson High School Athlete, Returns From Chicago. Hutchinson. Kan, April 3. With teeth gleaming white and a smile that night even outshine Jack Johnson's golden grin, Sol Butler mounted the platform at the high school last night a a reception given him. About 200 of his friends, white and colored, were present. Imagine a finely built young man, with a face as black as night itself, gcod natured at all times, unassum ing even In such an hour of triumph aa last night, and you have a pretty good mental picture of Sol Butler, reputed to be Kansas' best all around athlete and one of the best high school athletes in the whole country. Rev. H. F. Bray, pastor of the A. M. E. church, introduced Butler as "that ebony-hued son of thunder." Following the reception at the high school an informal reception was held at the A. M. E. church. Yesterday morning Sol was hauled in a big tour in? car to the high school, headed by the negro band. Some of Sol's friends and several prominent negroes of the city were in the parade. ASSESSORS IX MARSHALL! CO. Statistics Show Fanners Are Far From Destitution. Marysville, Kan.. April 3. The deputy assessors of Marshall county, who started in on their work of asses sing the first of March, have made good progress and will finish up their work soon. F. H. Westemore. deputy assessor of Herkimer township, was the first deputy to finish his work and turn in his reports to County Assessor Arthur J. Harvey. From the summary of his report his township makes a most creditable showing considering the dry "off" sea son last year. The summary shows that acres planted and to be planted are: Wheat. 2.825; corn, 3.590; oats. 2,514, and potatoes, 103. The grain on hand March 1 was: Wheat. '9.915 bushels and corn 2,015 bushels. Seven hundred and two acres are seeded to alfalfa and the 1913 yield was 648 tons; 1,090 tons of -prairie hay were also cut in 1913. Fourteen thousand two hundred and fifty-five pounds of butter were made in 1912 and the cream sold was valued at $6,639. Eggs and poultry valued at $10,025 were sold in 1913 and $40,570 worth of fat tened stock. DETWILER OCT AGAIN. K. IT. Football Captain Kicked While Harnessing Mule. Lawrence. Kan., April 3. Captain John Detwiler of the varsity football team, was kicked by a mule on the Detwiler farm, near Smith Center, last veek and injured on his left leg. The kick bruised the wound which Det wiler received in the Drake game and although the new injury is not serious, it will "retard the recovery of the wound. Detwiler was harnessing the mule when its feet went astray. Captain Detwiler was operated on in February for an injury in his left leg. The leg is slowly improving, and, unless the recent injury proves seri ous, Detwiler will be in the game next fall. IRRIGATION AT SCOTT CITY. Windmill and Reservoir Plant- Is Model of Construction.

The plant consists of a dirt reservoir, the inside banks having been cemented, to prevent its washing away. The reser voir is 210 feet square, with banks about six feet high, covering about an acre of ground. The water is pumped into this by six windmills, at a rate of 160 gallons per minute, when all are in operation. It took Coffin two hours to lower the water in the reservoir nine inches, and spread it over the field. The ground was measured up at the end of that time and amounted to three acres, thus spreading ap proximately three inches of water over the ground irrigated. Mr. Coffin ex pects to seed all of the ground which he is certain of being able to water under this plant to alfalfa this spring. KTTJJFER OR OTHERS. Federate Will Raid Majors If Court Denies Them Injunction. Chicago. April Z- The Federal League stands to win no matter what the outcome of its suit to enjoin Wil liam Killifer from playing with the Philadelphia Nationals, according' to E. E. Gates, the league counsel. If the United States court at Grand Rapids, after the hearing on Saturday, grants the Federal League its Injunc tion, the "outlaw" organisation counts on having Killifer, Standing, Kahler, Baumgardner and Williams forced to live up to the Federal contracts they aro said to have signed. If the court refuses to grant the Injunction, thus denying the binding power of the eon tract. Killifer signed with the Fed erals, Gates holds tl At the contracts of organized baseball would be eon sldered equally useless, so that dls satisfied players could Jump front organised ball to the Federals without regard to contracts. As there are dosena of first rate players in the American and National Leagues said to be held to their clubs only through fear that the courts would enforce their contracts. Gates figures that the Federal League would be winning in a general raid. Latest reports concluding the Sea ton case were that the pitcher prob ably will be returned to the Brooklyn club. fpH it KTKc GKildrenjs LuncK Basketry will be brim full of health builders if the foods it dl 1 4 carries are made with Pastries, doughnuts and all foods are far more digestible when made with Cottolene.

Of course, it almost goes without say ing that the "plain clothes" women who are to appear on the streets of Pitts burs;, Fa., are members .of the police force. "'v Incidentally, the pictures of most of the Federal League stars show them in uniform of the major league teams that helped so materially to make these players famous. Muggsy" McGraw, the manager of the New York Giants, must have a tough one. Else the repeated batter ings It has received would have put it out of commission. March's exit like a lamb also shat tered one of the fancies of the goose bone weather prophets. But they can point with pride to this year's prog nostications of the groundhog. It occurs to the Richmond Times Dispatch that Mr. Wilson has it on that earlier statesman who would rather be right than president. Mr. Wilson has copped both, pennants. If the hailstones as large as eggs, for which Kansas is famous, were also like eggs, they would suffer the smash ing instead of inflicting it. But think of the splashes that would likewise result. Sir Edward Grey's suggestion for the establishment of a federal system of government for the British isles has probably prompted not a few English patriots to chant fervently: "God save the King." 1 The efficiency of a police force is not properly measured by- the monthly to tal of the fines that are assessed and collected In a police court. Neitner Is It indicated by the number of petty of fenders arrested each month. Denials that the price of sugar is fixed by a trust have a resonable ring to them. If a trust were attending to this business, the price of sugar would likely be much higher than it is. Sugar Is now almost as cheap as flour. Nor is President Wilson without a sense of humor. His Invitation to Vie toriano Huerta to participate in the preparatory work for the approaching peace conference at The Hague is all the evidence needed on this score. A German aviator has driven an aeroplane to a height of approximately f ov.r miles, which would appear to be sufficiently high for all puractlcal and foolish purposes. -Incidentally, he neglected a magnificent opportunity to stage a record-breaking fall. More proor that troubles never come singly. Henry Siegel, the bank rupt banker and merchant; "who is under indictment in New; York for grand larceny and violations-of the banking laws, has just been sued by bis wife for an absolute divorce. Topeka's police force is wonderfully effective in picking up boys for amok Ing, loitering, cutting corners, et cetera. et cetera, but when it comes to making the streets of the city reasonably safe for unescorted women to use after dark well, as Rudyard Kipling would say, that is another story. Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood are scarcely In a position to wax en thusiastic over their influence' as lead fa of the Democratic hosts 'in the house of representatives. Of the 272 Democrats who voted on the repeal of the Panama canal tolls exemption' only 52 of them followed their "leaders." Were the appointment of Dudley Field Malone, his son-in-law, to the fat and powerful Job of Collector of the Fort of New York still hanging fire, it is barely possible that Senator O'Gorman would not be so vigorous and violent In his opposition to President Wilson's plan for the repeal of the Panama canal tolls exemption. '.'Better babies. Better mothers for babies. Better home surroundings. Better schools. Better roads to get the children to the schools. Closer rela tions between the parents and the school teachers." These comprise the program of the Kancas women who have organised a -state chapter of the National Congress of Mothers and Par- ent -Teachers" association. But surely all of -these things cannot be brought artttt unlets there be better fathers. FARMERS MUfarr ORGANIZE. In an address) before the students of one of the northern agricultural colleges, a prominent farmer and stock breeder of one of our states which borders qn the Great Lakes empha sised the great need of definite organ isation if farmers are to keep abreast of the times. He said that so far as soil fertility was concerned the an cient Egyptians and Chinese knew about as much about It as we do; enough, in fact, that they have farm ed their soils in such a way for 8,000 or ',000 years that today they are as fer tile as our own. Thla is indeed true, writes J. R. H. in the Kansas Industrialist, and although agriculture has advanced rapidly with in the' last few years. It has been un- progresaive .in that It has not yet es tablished itself upon an equal basis with the other professions. In prac tically every Industry, profession, and class, people have organised for their mutual welfare und protection. They have demanded and obtained fewer hours and a living wage. But agricul ture has made no such federation. The agriculturists are the exception to this rule; they have, been content. though compelled to work early and late to "make ends -meet," for often the farmer was selling his goods be low the cost of production. A paper read before the National Association of Bankers at Chicago, recently, showed that the iacome the farmer and his family live upon is a small margin. According to this re port, which had been very carefully compiled, the annual Income of a farm of 160 acres in. the United States la $1,000. But after deducting taxes, de preciation of buildings, cost of hired labor, and such, there remained a profit of $181, upon which the farmer and his family live. The real fault la that the farmer has not been receiving a fair compen sation for his crop he has not had his share. He receives only one-third of the ultimate price his products bring. His live stock he sells at the price stip ulated by the packers and pays the prices demanded for his farm machine ry and supplies. This has made it possible for the packing houses, the great mail order houses, and the railroads to -accumulate enormous wealth in a few years. So the trouble is not with the farm. but with ine farmer. If agriculture is to come into its own. it must be through the farmers. The great need today is for progressive farmers who will carry on the spirit of organization. Such an organization is found among the western fruit growers and the to bacco growers of Kentucky and Ten nessee. This will enable the farmer to demand and receive a fair return on his Investment Not until then will the profession of agriculture take its pro per place on an equal basis with the other professions. XYNCHTNGS TS 113. Fifty-two persons, 61 colored and one white, were put to death by mobs in this country in the year. that has just passed, according to The Survey. This is 12 fewer than the number lynched in 1912. It is the email est number of lynchlngs In one year since records have been kept. Not all of these lynchings were mere ly "a kind of wild justice." Twenty-one of the persons killed were accused only; there had been no conviction, no weigh ing of evidence. Several Innocent per sons were put to death. In Greenville, Ga., a black man was lynched for a murder. Another man confessed to the crime a few days later. At Hous ton, Miss., a negro accused of murder was lynched. It was later discovered that he was the wrong man. Two ap parently innocent colored persons were put to death at Germantown, Ky. At Spartanburg, S. C, the bravery of a sheriff prevented a mob. from lynching colored man accused of rape. He was later acquitted by a white jury. In only ten of last year's lynchings was rape, proved or alleged, the crime which roused the mob's frenzy. To call the roll of states in this mat ter may savor too much of bringing indictments .against whole peoples. Tet ten lynchings "in a single state. Georgia's record, and nine in another, Mississippi's, with the other 33 distribu ted among 12 states, suggest that some-' thing more than the blind forces of co incidence was at work. INTERNATIONAL PEACE. The analogy between a neighborhood of natural individuals and a neighbor hood composed of artificial persons called nations, writes Frank S. Roby in the April Case and Comment, The Law yer's Magazine, is perfect, and meth ods which keep peace In the one will keep peace in the other. The chief basis for war is found in the desire for territorial aggrandizement. Other causes of controversy arise, but this main one furnishes a sufficient illustra tion for the point which It is here de sired to. make. Territorial aggrandizement is not solely a national desire. Before there was any government, when society was in its infancy, it would be easy to imagine the two strong men of the is land fighting to the death for the pos session of a fertile point of land, a flowing spring, or an overhanging' tree of fruit. The primitive man is in us after all. The desire to own more land. to Increase our acreage, and extend our boundary lines, is keen and common. Line-fence controversies occur quite frequently In Indiana. Farmers who have been friends- for years become over night, when such controversies begin, bitter and implacable "enemies. The fires of passion blase and burn at once, but neither man. goes for his Winchester rifle. Left to themselves a bloody conflict would be inevitable, but the common welfare of the citizens of the civilized neighborhood of which the contestants are members demands that there shall be no conflict, and the will of every person in the community to that end is made manifest to the dis putants in auch manner as to compel them to acquiesce therein. Instead of Winchester,. rifle, they go for a sur veyor. The line la rerun: If arbitration is not had. an action In ejectment Is brought, in .which, event evidence is beard and a. judgment rendered, to which both parties -bow and by which their respective rights are forever set tled. Journal Entries Good health pays the most satis factory dividends. A mean man often has a pretty good excuse for being that way. Any number of. the .good men haven't the price to be otherwise.-. Most mistakes can be easily cor rected if there's a disposition to do so. If you have something worth while to say it doesn't matter so much as to the kind of grammar yon use.

Told by the ElDorado Republican: An ElDorado man, whose desk Is close to a window, was startled this after noon when a handsomely gowned young woman with whom he is but slightly acquainted, stopped in front or the window, made a wry little race. fluffed up her hair, and then looked directly toward him with a souirul ex pression in her eyes.

The old one-roomed or two-roomed houses of nioneer days in which mod est quarters so many youths of the land grew ud. certainly had their in conveniences and disadvantages, writes Judge Ruppenthal in the Ijuray Her ald. But the results in some ways were decidedly educative to the chil dren. The home life was mucn closer than in larger dwellings. The spirit of adaptation, and of give and take cheerfully was better developed. And so much of mature life was necessarily before the cmiaren as, in me uauy discussion of duties and business, that they gained business training uncon sciously.

"Betsy and breakfast begin with B, therefore" Vader half chanted, the break at the end significant. He stood on the piazza Just outside an open window.- Within, a tall girl. her brow enmeshed in clouds of dusky silken hair, retorted impatiently, "If you please, my name is Elizabeth. Called Betsy.

Come! and quickly un less you want to be eaten.

Meaning? Elizabeth snot tne word at him bullet-wise. He looked down. shading his face- with one hand, yet stealing glances at her through his fingers. "I'm late so late I'm afraid to go In alone." he said, the ghost of chuckle belying nis plaintive tone. Elizabeth- sniffed audibly. "Patience is waiting most impa tiently to feed you: and your vanity. she said with the least toss of the head. "Trot along! Right off! Tou know the Christian virtues deserve reward." i.s.

"Pre-var-l-ca-torl s Neat-., must eay!" Vader moaned, with. a. feint of staggering backward.. And then a flute voice, with an -edged undertone. cut across tne scented morning witn: "Come in you two. coxxee is not wee lovemaking does not keep warm of itself." How should we known until you told us a couple, of .Babes in the Woods?" Vader asked as obediently he followed Elizabeth into a sunny room, the windows of which gave enchanting vistas of hill and meadow ana wood land, with a far blue mountain line in the distance. The vistas were but a foresnadowing of what lay in the hand now busy with the coffee urn. buss patience jarew wedded and widowed within the year of marriage, now Mrs. Patience Morti mer, in the half mourning period. found herself mistress in fee of sundry millions. Because of the naif mourning she had not yet gone beyond, rather festive house parties in the way of en tertaining. Vader. a relic of the pro- Mortimer epoch, had come to this one because of Elisabeth. He knew it was hazardous Patience stood ready to take ud that old affair just where she had let it fall. She was more than ever avid -of conquest, withal tenacious, and possessed of a shy yet burning vanity, which made her resent bitterly the loss of a. cantive. Vader had honestly thought he loved her had even told her so. Elisabeth had shown him his mistake. He won dered alertly if she had not also shown It to Patience, as they sat laughing. chatting, bantering, the while they ate and drank. Patience, a creamy-ash "blonde, did not show well in the clear morning lla-ht but Elizabeth bloomed Into rbeauty new and rare. Slight .and light. albeit tall, in wort wnite toucnea laim ly with flame-red, she made Patience, despite her soft curves, her laces and lavenders, seem dull, even mlddle aarad. Th arreat amethyst' brooch be low her throat was the one trace of sparkle about her. Elisanetn was aa vivid throusrhout as the knot .of gera niums slowing blood red at her belt.

"Long distance is the real first aid to matrimony. I wonder bow many love quarrels it patches up every day. "Let's say a million," Vader an swered promptly, smiling also, but his heart pounding. What If that pesti lent ass Beaton he stopped .there Elizabeth surely had enough of the cad. True, they had been reported betrothed true, also.' the cad had prestige through his father, the sen ator. Notwithstanding, Vader had therefore quite discounted his preten tions to Elizabeth. In virtue of him self. He could offer a woman some thing more than a mere name, a mere maintenance. Too rich to need suc cess. It had come to him at his first venture. His novel was not only a best seller, but balled by the compe tent as an achievement. He hated the fact now It explained, so patently the lurings and langulshlngs of Patience. "May I come to confession?" Eliza beth asked saucily, reappearing, her face wreathed in smiles. Patience also smOed- 'Tott' are ab solved unherd." she said silkenly. "I think though I can gueaa the sin It Is "Try it!" EHsabetfc said stm asuiedr.

Vader flung up his hands, ."Does anybody anywhere know that?" he asked tragically. "I thought, ill think K still, the mystery of mysteries.'' Sunnoae vou go riit and nuz zle it out!" Elisabeth suggested in the guardian angel tone. He would have resented It. but that he caught along with.

One of Margaret De land's characters. an embarrassed young lover blurts out a remark In praise of the weather and then suddenly remembering that it is raining hard, explains his praise by saying,'"! mean it isn't raining quite so hard as it was yesterday." Not being embarrassed young lovers, of course you and I would not be guilty of anything quite so absurd. But haven't you sometimes caught yourself making some automatic remark about the weather that didn't tally with actual conditions? I'm sure I have. and felt as foolish as I deserved to. "Thinking is just what nobody wants to do," someone has said. And the average person proves this fact In his conversation both by the automatic and unthinking things he does say and the intelligent and the worthwhile things he doesn t say.' It is remarkable how much Is said that might not just as well have been left unsaid at the average dinner table or under the evening lamp. Obvious ness is the order of the day. Some body makes a perfectly obvious state ment and somebody else picks It up and restates it in an equally trite and superfluous manner, or adds something equally obvious; and nobody seems to notice the absurdity of it all. Now the hallmark of really intelligent conversation is to take the obvious for granted. Thinking people save their breath- to say things that are interesting, either as. news t or as tne product of actual thinking or intelligent observation on their part. For a child to be brought up in a household where the talk is the product of thought instead of merely the vo calisation of a set of mental reflexes. is as valuable to nun as a college edu- MHfWl.

No bet ter motto could be lettered on a school house. But "life" needs more explanation than it gets, even from our own state board. We -all treat -the nearest things as If they were the real est. Wages, debts, pie and coffee, ma chinery, and house lots get more notice than the laws of nature, the page of history, the -bare principles of conduct. Perhaps It Is well that the closer as pects of life are the clearer. Tet every boy, as a member of his race, ought to know at least in outline the larger wonders of the world her-has entered, the long road his kind have traveled, the interests that can draw him from himself and make him more the friend than the drudge of his fellows To tell a boy of roads and hens, looms and motors, is to do him no small favor;' but to paint these things as real life is to blind him to his birthright. In fairness to the child and to his parents, let the experts call a chore a chore and Job a job. And in these days of Indus trialism on the one side and mere estheticism on the other, every teacher should be taking double pains to keep both girls and boys reminded of what they wey know themselves that real life stands, not so much in technical abilities, however much to be desired, as in outlook and inner resources -Boston Herald.

Jan. 2", 1914: "I suffered over eight years with eczema. It started in one Uttle place and kept spreading until it covered my hands. My hands look ed like they had been burned by fire and peeled off in large pieces until they were only raw flesh. I was told it was eczema. It itched and burned me so that I could not sleep at night. I tried all sorts of eczema salves and one prescription after another but nothing gave me any relief until I tried Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint ment, and after the first application my hands never itched or burned again, and were well in one week. I want every sufferer from eczema to know that they can find a cure in Resinol." (Signed) Miss Ethel Scott, Milstead, Ga. Physicians have prescribed Resinol for nineteen years, for all sorts of skin troubles, pimples, dandruff, sores, ul cers, burns, wounds, and piles. Every druggist sells Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap, but for trial size, free, write to Dept. 2-R, Resinol. Balti more, Md. Do not be deceived by imitations. Adv. touch 1 aS.vits XStetnaCompuy Chicago Rrh Hose Supporters For Boy and 6irl of all fM ns His Atchison Flock Objects to His Living in Topeka. The Rev. H. W. White, (colored) who lives in North Topeka and is pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist at Atchison, must either move to Atchison, be hung, resign as pastor of the church or re turn to Atchison and brave the furies of nine dismissed and indignant mem bers of his flock. White received an unsigned letter last Saturday while he was in Atchi son in which was stated that he would either have to leave mighty Quick or be the principal guest of honor at a "necktie party." The gist of the letter which White received Is: "Tou grand rascal. Tou scoundrel. Tou are disturbing the peace and we white peo ple will not stand for your disturbing the churches. We will serve you with a 'necktie party- if you are in Atchison when the sun goes down Sunday even ing. When White received the letter he read It, scratched his head and handed it to a member of his flock. In turn, that startled person voiced his fears and indignation and "hot footed" to the sheriff's office. White, who says that he will "not run from nobody stayed in Atchison Sunday evening and preached hi. Ttif. aherirr Attended the services that he might sidetrack any mob that would be imponie enougn i drag the pastor from the pulpit and v,an v,m tn th nearest tree or tele phone pole in order to further perpetu ate the ancient court or. juage uyw.". However, White's sermon was unin or A ths ehorlfT has not UD to the present time proved to the colored congregation tnat ne was bk" enough to run the writer of the missive tn earth. White is positive that he knows who wrote the letter. Although it was supposed to have been wruien by a white person, White says that it was written by a colored man. According to White the fact that he refused to move to Atchison is main i .-o.nnncriViio fnr- the letter. Some time ago three of the trustees locked the doors of the church apd placed a notice on the door which informed the public that there would be no services held In that church until further no t:a u-or tho trustees "nerve failed them and they took the notice r, .4 .minfiiAH the rinnr. These three trustees were promptly excluded from the cnurcn. A few days later six of the elders tr, tn HtHntf their unrulv Dastor to time sent him a letter in which they demanded that White either move to Afihienn nf rMriff-n. Wliite read the let- tha (.rtnfreara.tion and the six elders met the same fate as did the three trustees. This is the second time that White ha tiAn thrpatpnpH with a mob. While he was pastor of the B Street Baptist church m jvortn xopesa a mes senger brought him word that a mob u-aa mmlnr to "ret him." As In the Atchison case nothing developed. And so the North Topena preacner is sun alive. These threats do not excite him and he is going to return to Atchison this evening and preach his Sunday sermons. AS MAN TO MAN. The other morning when the news paper man waked up he heard a mocking bird singing, and it sure had a beautiful voice. The window was open and the fine air of a spring morning entered the room like wine being poured from a large vase. .'The mocking bird most split his throat and the notes of his song were as sweet as could be. Everything seemed to be set for a fine day. The newspaper n.an dressed and started down stairs. His wife called from the, kitchen to tell him to make a fire in the furnace. And the day was spoiled. The idea of a man waking up to hear the song of a bird and breathe the soft air of a spring morning and then hav to go down into a dark basement and shake down a furnace and shovel coal and fiddle around with kindling and kero sene. The newspaper man was sore. He argued the matter. He spoke of the bird and called attention to the brand of balm that was floating around in place of the snowflakes that used to be. But argument availeth not in the case of a woman. The house was chilly and this must be taken off by a fire in the furnace. Thus said the woman in the case. She did not want to knock on that bird but it was a fool to sing so early in the spring. So the newspaper man descended to the basement and sawed up certain pieces of kindling and poured kero sene on them and removed cinders from the cavern of the furnace and blackened his new shirt and bumped his head on a pipe and shoveled in coal and spoke bitter words and lighted a fire in the bloody furnace. And then he went up stairs and out doors to try to take the life of that mocking bird that had sung a false song of summer. Poetry and romance and the mes sage of a songbird have no place in the life of a householder. He must rise up in the morning and make the fire in the furnace. He works until the noon time and pays taxes before the night. He parleys with the grocer and seeks to appease the wrath of the dealer in meat. He shaves himself with a safety razor to keep down ex penses and buys milk tickets by the book to save the rebate. He votes for men to run the government and bows his head humbly before the multitude of their laws. He is a poor creature of this emblazoned, new re public that was conceived in liberty by the men who sailed unknown seas to build to the clouds of the west ern skies. And whv that mnrklns- bird shriuld have picked his yard for its happy song or spring he does not know. He gives it as his opinion that the weath er man and the mocking bird and the man that invented furnaces ought to get together and agree on the formal date when spring songs shall begin and furnaces shall end. Then, and not till then, shall this earth be' free from darkened care. C. "Don't you feel better since you quit smoking?" "No. I'm bothered half to death trying to figure out what has be come of all that money I was going to save." Washington 8tar.
