Stev enson today told the senate com mittee that is probing German propaganda. A HUN PRESIDENT Berlin Papers Predict the Elec tion of Herr aumann. Say That Chancellor Ebert Will Be His Premier. Berlin Jan. 22. Berlin newspapers generally predicted today that Herr Naumann, Democrat, would be the first president of the new German re public and that Chancellor Ebert. ma jority socialist, would remain as the head of the ministry. The German Democrat party is progressives I combination or the old anl liberals. The dispatch would indi cate that a coalition government is probable, with a liberal element in control. BACK W LAW Government Takes Up Means of Enforcing the 3Ieasure. July 1 Is the Time When the Country Goes Dry. Washington, Jan. 22. Means of en forcing prohibition after July 1, are under consideration by officials of the department of justice and the internal revenue bureau, but steps to create a special enforcement agency will not be taken until congress has had time to act on pending legislation giving this function to the revenue bureau.

INTRODUCED INQUISITION BILL Then He Was Snowed With Letters, Wires, Phone Calls. Messages AH From Weeping, Sorrowing Brick Companies. If E. L. Barrier, of Greenwood coun ty, will just go to Kansas City some week-end, he can eat a number of good meals at a first-class hotel and smoke a bunch of two-bit cigars all at the expense of the down-trodden and oppressed paving combines.

Last week Barrier sent to the house hopper a bill which extends to the at torney general inquisitional power in trust and combine investigations. Bar rier didn't say much about it, but the bill was really aimed at the brick and cement combines, the packers, grain and elevator companies and a few sundry organizations. The Greenwood county member provided that the at torney general might call officers and representatives of these industries on the carpet, compel them to testify and, if necessary, to bring their books.

At least a half dozen special de livery letters were on Barrier's desk when he returned to Topeka. A cou ple of telegrams were waiting. Now Barrier is frequently called to the tele phone room to answer long-distance calls. All of these were from the pav ing organizations which told Barrier they were struggling under a mighty burden and seeking merely to do some romoting construc tion. Certainly, Barrier was informed. he had been misled by the assertions that the paving men were in a com bine or agreement. Stories of long profits were idle gossip. Rather than adverse legislation, the paving men even suggested some beneficial laws something that would encourage, pro- tpfr flnrl strpnethdn r-n trrrl Ln sr innav such action by the Kansas legislature, Barrier was advised, the paving people would be able to get through the win ter and in due course of time might earn a dividend for their shareholders.

That a limited number of representatives of the Rus sian soviet government will attend the peace conference seemed certain to day. It was learned that an agree ment had practically been reached by the supreme war council in this re gard. Official announcement was ex pected before night. t (By the Associated Press) Paris, Jan. 22. With the hope of formulating a definite form of action on the Russian question, the supreme council -of the peace conference con tinued Tuesday to devote most of its attention to the subject Discussions were taken up where they were left off Jonday and some announcement of a fully-matured policy is expected to oe made during today s session." Principles of action have been de cided upon in the main and virtually all that remains is to reduce the agreement to writing and get final as sent to it by the delegates. There was no indication at the opening of the meeting as to which one of the three proposals already considered had been accepted, or whether an entirely new plan has been worked out. The policy of building a wall around Bolshevism by encouraging lawful government is spoken of as being foremost among the possibilities. Consideration of the Polish problem may have added an element which may change the line of action from its originally contemplated lorm. While the peace congress Is getting into action, the question of President Wilson of a fifth delegate to act on the American mission when he. him self, departs for home has again arisen and the names of William H. Taft and Klihu Root have been mentioned. Mr. Wilson's decision as to the appoint ment of another delegate depends wholly upon whether he will consider it necessary to return to Kurope after the adjournment of the American con gress in March. There is absolutely no question that he feels he must re turn to America in time to sign bills that have been passed at Washington. He has no thought of signing them here, on the theory that the embassy f.--t So far the. president ha not- betn able to determine whether to. .return to the peace conference because suffi cient headway has not been made to dicate what may be hoped for In the approximately twenty days oetore ms ship sails. He has expressed the hope that it would not be necessary for him to make another voyage a c rots the Atlantic. Most Important Work. At the same time, however, he has told his colleagues that as he consid ers the business of the peace congress most important as concerns his coun try and the world, he would not hesi tate to return if his presence is neces sary to the success of his plan for a league of nations. Until he has de cided whether he will return there fs no way of forecasting the appointment of another American delegate. If one should be named, Secretary of War Baker or possibly Admiral W. S. Ben son might be appointed. The possi bility of Admiral Benson being made a delegate depends on whether or not it is decided that the American navy should, be represented. It is quite probable that President Wilson will take back with him as many Ameri- i '""J American troops to be speedily re- urnea to xneir nomes, ana also tne to ta ke a large number with him. wurvv. me general cneme or leiununn me troops to America was I bAlln J j wiiii me w im n ul me peace congress and the progress it makes toward restoring Europe to a post-war basis, but meanwhile, under the presi dent's directions.

With the coming warm weather it may be expected that plans will be carried out which will utilize all available ships to their fullest capacity. Attitude of Lloyd George. London. Jan. 21. Premier Lloyd George's attitude regarding1 Russia and the peace conference is explained, ac cording to Iteuter's as being quite dif ferent from the general understanding of the situation. It is said that Mr. Lloyd George did not suggest that Nikolai Lenine or Leon Trotzky should be invited to sit at the peace congress. He did propose that representa tives of Russia, comprising all sections of Russian political life, should go to Pans in order to give the most reliable j information concerning the situation j in that country. i conference thla m n ,J statement of the proceeding's of the conierence. PROGRESSIVES GAINED In the Semite They Win 0er Old Guard in Policy Rules. Washington. Jan. 22. Senate pro gressive Republicans today won a big concession from stand pats in the fight on antiquated senate rules which con centrate power in the hands of a few men and keep certain senators at the head of important committees. A Re publican caucus ordered appointment I of a. committee to consider sucsresrions TO KEEP KANSANS Neither 35th nor 89th Due for Early Return Home. So Says the War Department in Latest Statement. 35TH IS DUE BACK FIRST Convoy Lists Are Made Up Overseas by Pershing. So There Is Chance That I) I visions May Return Soon. Washington, Jan. 22. Neither the J5th division nor the 89th. the two combat units made up almost exclu sively of Kansas and Missouri soldiers, are scheduled for early return home from France. The war department has no word whatever on when they may be expected to return. The priority lists for sailings are made up on the other side by General Pershing's staff The units that will start home in the next three or four weeks are on the priority list. Daily new additions are made to the lists. The fact that the famous 35th is not in the army of occupation points to the possibility of it getting home before the 89th. Now at Commcrcy, France. The 35th is now stationed at Com mercy, France. This is about twenty five miles south and a little east of Verdun. It is near the old battle line, which, of course, is now far from the frontier. Around Commercy were thousands of American troops before the armistice, it being one of the large concentration centers. Whether the division will be stationed there until ordered broken up and sent home, or whether it will wait there until reliev ing some other unit in the army of oc cupation there is no information here The 89th division, the fighting unit Gen. Leonard Wood trained out at Funston. occupies one of the largest areas of the army of occupation. It is not on the Rhine, as many supposed, but back nearer France patrolling the largest individual area of Germany of any single American division. Rough ly, the German territory the Kansans and Missourians patrol runs from a lit tle south of Saarburg to a few miles north of Prumm. The division head quarters now are at Killburg. near the northern part of the area they patrol. They have almost a square chunk of Germany to keep in order. In Army of Occupation. The most famous city in the area patrolled by the 89th is the old Ger man cathedral city of Treves. A few weeks ago there was an advance de tachment of the grand- headquarters at Treves and headquarters troops, not the Kansas-Missouri division, patrolled ,1hecltjr Itself," SufTF is" in-obabfiiThe division- now patrols the city.

The Kansas ammunition train and tTie Kansas City signal corps are iti this division. Headquarters- are at Ahrweiler. Questions as to when this division would get home Tnet the reply "not on the pri ority list yet." The 125th field artil lery, another Kansas and Missouri unit, is in France, a little town of Mos cow being given in the official dis patches as the headquarters. Moscow is not shown on the military maps. It is not on the priority list either. Base hospital until 28t another Kansas City unit, is still at Limonges. Several oth er hospitals have got sailing orders, but no word has reached here of pri ority being given the Kansas City unit The 92nd division, a negro division that trained at Funston and includes many Kansas and Missouri negro sol diers is now at Murbach, France, down in the Vosges, close to the Swiss border. It also is not on the priority list as yet. GET SOME "PEP" American Labor Teaching Europe a Way to Gain. Increased Production Is Way To Earn More. the New York, Jan. 22. American la bor influences are at work attempting to discourage political agitation as a class measure by European labor lead ers and to impress upon Europe's workingmen that the way to earn more money is to produce more goods. This is a startling doctrine for Eu- rope, where leisure is highly prized and speed in production is strictly lim ited by trades unions. "Pep' is a new word to Europeans, which America is now trying to introduce to them. Europe's agitators have long been running to the national legislatures for increases in the standard of living. Hpln from t h sfnfa Vina hpn thir essential condition of economic im provement. Europeans are now learn ing that in the, United States, the workiner men have not formed power ful pol itical parties and instead of maintaining class representation in congress, they improve their economic status by direct negotiations with their employers. State Acts In Kuropr. The European labor leaders who want the state to act for them in at taining greater economic comfort, are planning to hold a congress in Switzer land, under Socialistic auspices. The Americans have declined to attend this convention. The Swiss meeting.; therefore, cannot have a wide inter national influence and will not exert much pressure on the deliberations of the peace congress Samuel Gompers wants to hold a rival international labor convention in Paris. The essential purpose of this assembly mould be to impress Ameri can ideals of high productivity at high wages upon Europe and to persuade the peace congress to recommend ac tion to this end. The American argu ment is that the Europeans should im prove their economic status by con suming themselves more of what they produce, instead of exporting it. and thus acquiring "pep for still greater productivity. IN A DRASTIC BILL Amos of Shawnee Introduces City Ownership Measure. Allows Towns To Operate 3Iany Lines of Business. FROM ICE PLANTS TO ST. CARS Nothing Is Overlooked in the Municipal Possibilities. Hughes of Lyon in Appeal for "Pure "ails" in Kansas. Kansas cities will be permitted to own and operate public utilities and to engage in many lines of business endeavor under terms of a bill in the house today by Representative Amos, of Shaw-nee. The measure is one of the most far reaching municipal pol icies ever suggested to the state leg islature. It provides for bond issues for municipal ownership of street railways, telephones, gas, water, light, heat, ice, cold storage, market houses, packing plants, flour mills and other utilities and business projects. Passage of the bill in its present form practically releases to cities of the state the right to engage in almost any line of endeavor. It carries the proposal for home rule beyond the limits of ownership and operation of mere public utilities as generally de fined and permits municipal owner ship and operation of any line of busi ness activity which provides a service or outnut of general public demand. There Is very little in the line of common, competitive endeavor that isn't hit by the terms and trend of the .Amos- measure. The measure legalizes elections for the voting of bonds for the ownership of the above specific enterprises and is probably sufficiently broad to include any in dustry which supplies a public de mand. It provides that the mayor and city commission or council of a city may direct the calling of an elec tion to vote upon the project to buy or Install any of the various Industries under the terms of the bill. Bonds would be legalized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the persons voting on such a proposition.' Many far reaching bills have come before the -state legislature in recent years. In a majority of the cases the measures sidestepped the constitu tional provision against the state en gaging In works of internal improve ment. As a consequence, the measures sought to extend the power and au thority of cities to engage in various activities especially the taking over of public uj-iitties. None of the bills, however, sought to cover the ground of Wer wAtrmr-4irTrTrhl("h probablvT tands- as the last word in proposals Tor home rule and municipal owner ship before a Kansas legislature.

The bill will probably go assigned to the house banking com mittee. Now Its 'Purc Xalls. Hughes, of Lyon county, has brought the latest reform before the Kansas legislature.

GETTING A START "Irish Republic" Is Formed at Meeting in Ilubliu. Ministry of Four Peace Dele gates Are C'hosen Early. Dublin, Jan. 22. According to the provisional constitution of the Irish republic now before the Dall Kire- ann legislative powers are to be vested in d-eputies elected from exist ing parliamentary constituencies. The, ministry will consist of a president and four executive officers secretar ies of finance, horn affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, all reve nues will be raised on the vote of the "Dall Eireann." The constitution may be altered upon seven days' notice. The attitude of the British' govern ment toward tho new Irish republic was the principal subject of specula tion here today. So far, the imperial authorises have maintained a policy of "hands off." utterly ignoring the proceedings of the Iristi parliametttrwtchetTateT day, adopted a declaration of indepen dence and appointed a committee to represent Ireland at. the peace confer ence.

So Says Senator Kendrlck at Livestock Men's Jleet. CONTROL ALL OF MARKETS Both Producing and Marketing in Hands of Packers. Should Join Hands With People in Slaking Laws. Denver. Colo., Jan. 22. The fhr big meat packing firms of the United States were declared by Senator Ken drick of Wyoming here today to have such a control over both the produc ing and the distributing markets that they have the power "to commit all the abuses with whirh they tr changed, and more," regardless of whether there is an actual combina tion in that their representatives meet regularly to agree on prices. The senator, addressing the Ameri can National Livestock association convention, described a bill which he Introduced to regulate the meat indus try and said it ought to be possible to bring about a free market that would make it possible for both producer and packer and consumer to work profit- ably together. "It is perfectly ob vious." he told the convention, "that the packers absolutely dominate the meat industry of the country." Must Work In Unison. "With all of Ihe interests Involved, and under the circumstances which surround the business, it would be dif ficult for them to do otherwise than to work In unison and it in scarcely necessary, it seems to me. to attempt to prove that the packers' agents meet daily, or weekly, or monthly to deter-, mine prices. It is only necessary to point out that their common interest would naturally tend to make them act In m w.r-nAn u- u .r If mm ihmr rial m 'all abuses have been discontinued. they ought to Join hands with na now in securing legislation teat will pre vent the resumption of the unfair practices.

There Is no class of the population that is not vitally inter ested in proper governmental control of the meat packing industry, because it Via umum t r ylloh m-nistt I nn a it may now be termed the nation' food industry. It Is of tremendous im portance, therefore, that congrese should establish some sort of control. The bill which I have introduced le intended to secure this and with the. least possible disturbance to any In terest. It aims merely to applv to Hertnriple which hav been applied to every other business engaged In interstate commerce. We do not ask that the government take over the packing houses nor even that it should operate the stockyards. What the Hill Asks. "We a.k only that the packers shall no longer be permitted to own and control both the producing and the distributing markets. To this end my bill makes provision that will i i Ject to it. "Finally, the bill provides for a II t censing system for meat packers, for commission men and for stockyard owners, so that the government may keep its fingers on the pulse of the In- 0 us ry. "Without regard to who likes It er who does not. this much I can eay that if legislation is not secured now, the effort to establish certainty of competition ln the markets of thai country will never cease until the problem is properly solved, and If the moderate reforms now requested are not granted, drastic reforms will be imposed later."

A tidal wave of restless humanity will sweep across the orld like the invasions of Huns and troths IB the middle ages, unless the peace congress exercises foresight in handling the vital problem of emi gration. An economic, industrial and eacial calamity can be avoided only by satisfying the peoples' "land hunger" fcpd elevating their social status. I This was the view expressed today by the American commission which has been investigating conditions in Kuropean countries. "The world is restless," was the way Frederic C.

Instances of this at titude are not isolated, but general. "There is also" a. widespread resent ment among, the immigrants from neutral countries over what they con sider America's rough shod treatment of them in war time. This provides the incentive for many to return home.. There is no doubt that many European nations are considering leg islation for the restriction of emigra tion, hoping to keep their people at home. On the other hand, America and other lands of promise doubtlessly will instinctively" put up barriers, espe cially since they desire to protect the interests of their returning soldiers.

The con servative element will control the Ger man national assembly, if a coalition can be effected among the three parties constituting that faction, it was indicated by. the latest available returns from tfi-a elections today. While the majoYity Socialists appar ently will dominate any single party in the national assembly, they will be outvoted by the combination of conservative delegates, even with the addition of extreme radical votes. And, as a result of suppression of the recent Spartacan revolt by a majority Socialist government, it is regarded as doubtful that the two branches of the left (Socialist and extreme radical) can get together. The only candidate who appears to have any chance to replace Chancellor Kbert is Mathias Erzberger. chairman of the German armistice commission, and leader of the Centerist party. He was elected to the national assemblx from a Berlin district. Berlin reports today indicated that an agreement had been reached to hold the national assembly in Weimar, capital of the province of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach. (Weimar is located on the left bank of the Ilm, thirteen miles east of Erfurt- It has a popu lation of about 35,000.) MANUEL. IS AT LISBON Former Portuguese King Reported Back After is Throne Again, -y Madrid, Jan. 22. Manuel II, for mer king of Portugal, has arrived off Lisbon, aboard a ship of unknown na tionality, according to an unconfirmed report received here today. (This dispatch is not confirmed from any source. Manuel was last, reported to be in England, where he took up his exile in 1910.) Other dispatches said that Manuel's representatives in Portugal had issued a manifesto in his behalf, discourag ing the, leaders of the royalist con spiracy. These reports said that Lis bon is quiet and that military police are guarding the governor's palace. Premier Barbosa, who became head of the government following the re cent assassination of President Paes, was reported to have been arrested in Oporto, where he went to take action against the conspirators. He was re leased after signing an agreement to adhere to the monarchy. Contrary advices said that Manuel had been proclaimed king in Lisbon, that .a new cabinet had been formed and that the royalist ministers had oc cupied the official palaces. Monarchist forces were reported to have been completely victorious thru out the northern provinces. Valencia was occupied by 1.O0 roy alist troops after a brief resistance. Flags of the republic are said to have been publicly burned in towns thruout the country. Many republi can leaders are understood to have fled across the Spanish frontier, but others have been stopped at the boun dary and placed under arrest. A state of siege has been proclaimed thruout Portugal, according to some reports. The radical revolt, which de veloped soon after assassination of President Pas. has-been, lost sight of in the new struggle between the re public and monarchist factions.

"There is not one man here who is not ready to go if the call comes. But isn't it a part of the duty of our country to see that our man hood may be ready that the nation may give ine equipment? You saw wooden guns and telephone pole can non. Damn the morals and conditions of the enemy as you will, the men were trained to fight and equipped. 1Vant tedn Six Months. "Don't think the plan I urge means long service. It is not necessary. Our great Tenth division was trained in a little les than four months. We only want your men for six months at the most. Then they will come back bet ter in mind, morals, muscle and ideals than when they went in. It is a con dition wherein you must realize that you cannot take everything out of your country and -give nothing. "You don't want war. Neither do I. But it is coming and the only thing we can do is to be ready. Give us this) form of training and we will .give you better fathers and brothers. It is not necessary to keep large forces in uni form only enough for the police work of the nation. But we must have back of these men a force of men large enough to meet the de mand whenVit comes. I want the smallest regular army, but a system like the Swiss. Nothing like militar ism is charged against Switzerland. Germany was a military autocracy. We can be strong without being ag gressive. We can be well trained with out be:ng in uniform. But we must be ready. More Wars Coining! "Claims of no more wars have al ways been with us. Verbal massage will not rule the world. You must be awake to the fact that other wars will W;ome. Wars are coming. The situa tion was expressed by the late Colonel Roosevelt when lie said, 'Speak softly, but have a big stick.' "This is a practical question. This is practical system. We can com bine industrial training with military training. It is perfectly workable and practical. "And now just a word about the lace tjoionei itoosevelt. When I was in turcpe, the men of all classes spoke more about him than all other Americans combined. There was the deepest feeling that he played the greatest part toward awakening us toward our need to go into this war. 'Leagues between nations are urged. They endure only when there is a community of interests, morals and ideals. There is splendid unity be tween England. France and America. Hut- the terms are not written in ink. They are written in the blood of hu man sacrifice. No greater calamity could come than the breaking up of this bond of sentiment. "England and France gave us the greatest help and counsel.- They gave us benefits of knowledge and supplied guns and fighting planes. If you are going to fight you must have machines equal to those of the enemy and we had none. You can't build without expense and you can't built without experience or when the enemy is marching upon you. TfiJnS to Save Your Boys." "I am trying to save your boys. Take that home with you. I know what it means to Vend men into war not properly trained and not properly equipped. I am trying to save your 1 boys for you; If they are not prop- e'y t'srsiSrr.rf officers. I believe these furnish us the It best protection against war. I know that is what you all want. Loud applause followed General Wood's speech. He was also inter- rupted during his talk as the lepisla- i tors and officials expressed approval of his sentiments. Many comments approving the war were expressed by leader's remarks members of both houses. Following his speech. General Wood left the, halt with Governor Allen. He spent a' half hour 'in an informal re ception of visitors in the state execu tive's office. General Wood Popular Here. General Wood is undoubtedly the most popular army officer Kansas knows today. Not only is his great- i ness as a soldier recognized by an Kansans, but the people of this -state feel they have a citizenship claim to the distinguished military leader be cause of the time he has spent at Camp Funston training Kansas boys for their big task in France. Every Kansas has a greattPride in the splen did record made by the Eighty-ninth division, and practically every Kansan feels that the Sunflower boys were able to cover themselves with glory largely because of the splendid train ing piven them at Camp Funston by General Wood. Today's address will probably be the last public appearance of General Wood in Topeka before he perma nently leaves Camp Funston to take up his new duties as commander of the Centraldivision of the army with headquarters in Chicago.

Anspaugh of Gridley is going to put thru the Torrens land act; modi fied to conform with the Kansas statutes, at the present session of the legislature if it is possible for him to do so. This was his statement today following the introduction of a bill that is intended eventually to do away with every abstracting company and corporation in Kansas and to provide a much simpler and more direct form of land transfer. The Anspaugh bill, if passed, will absolutely do away with suits to re cover lands except in case of fraud and when once every piece of prop erty in Kansas has changed hands there will be no further work for the abstracters to do. And if it become a law it will do away with constant "OICEH Aine new Ahrow FORM-FIT 25 CENTS EACH CLUETT.PEABODY&CoLvcvfterj 111 jl I Be Sure to Get iiiimmI. saoMsaeaasi Imw i HE wax-wrapped sealed package with vmGLEYS upon it is a guarantee of quality.

SEALED TIGHT -KEPT RIGHT The Flavor Lasts! controversy of lawyers over flaws In titles. Acceptance--! provisions of the bill will be optional with the counties, it provides, but when once a county has adopted the new system it will be re quired to use it exclusively. Titles to lands and properties, the measure provides, will pass thru the courts just as they do now. After fhey have been thru the district courts a certificate of title will be made -out which will be retained In the offices of the district court in which it is issued. A duplicate of the certificate will be issued to the purchaser, who will hold it as lcmg as he holds the land or property. When he disposes of it he will take his duplicate to the district court, it will be canceled and so marked on its face and another duplicate will be given to the new pur chaser. To State Treasurer. It is provided that when each cer tificate is issued a fee of one dollar shall be paid in addition to the reg ular costs until an amount equal to $500,000 has been paid. This money making up the $500,000 fund shall be turned over to the state treasurer, and in cases where the title to the prop erty involved would formerly have reverted under the new sstem. the claimant will be paid a sum equal to the assessed valuation of the property at the time it changed hands, and the purchaser will remain undisturbed in his possession. Cases like this can only arise when there are minors or persons under disability. "If some such measure is not put into effect," Anspaugh says, "it will soon become impossible for a poor man in Kansas to enter into a land deal because of the prohibitive cost of abstracts of title. If the present sys tem is not changed it will only be a matter of time until abstracts will be come as large as dictionaries as they did in parts of England before the Tor rens system was introduced." High Abstract Cost. Anspaugh says that it now costs from $15 up to get an abstract of title in Kansas and that the cost is certain to increase as the work of making ab stracts becomes larger and larger. He also says that one of the chief advan tages of the new system will be that it will do away with differences of opinions of lawyers as there will be no flaws to have opinions over when once a title has been cleared thru a court transfer. The Torrens system was first insti tuted in Australia in 1S58 and has been in use there ever since. It was iater adopted in England, Ireland, most of the British possessions and in Austria-Hungary and Germany. It is now in force in twelve states of the Union and the government adopted it for the Philippine Islands several years ago. Illinois and California were the first states in this country to adopt it, but since Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, New York, Ohio, North Carolina, Missis sippi, Nebraska have adopted it. In not a single instance in which a state or a country has adopted it has a change been made, which indicates it gives perfect satisfaction. A similar measure was introduced in the last Kansas senate and was report ed on favorably by the committee but did not get any farther. 10TH OUT BY FEB. 8 Only T?irco Weeks To Demobilize Funston Division. Camp Funston, Kan., Jan. 22. -THe demobilization machinery of the 10th division is being oiled up and the work will be carried on at full speed by the last of this week. Tuesday 389 men were discharged. Today 600 will go, and Thursday 1,000 men will be dis charged. By Friday or Saturday the number will reach 1,200 per day, and men will leave camp at that rate until the demobilization is completed. It has been officially announced that the bulk of the division will be demobil ized within three weeks. All the units of the 10th, except the two regular army regiments, the 41st and 20th, will go. The 20th has already been split up and the men sent to various army posts for guard duty. The 41st will be retained at Camp Funston for the present.

Pol lock In Kansas City, Kansas, by a del egation of farmers. No action was taken. The Kansas City Northwestern railroad company previously ran pas senger trains between these two towns, but discontinued regular service last year, substituting a combination pas senger and freight train. The Kansas public tilities commission issued an order December that the company should restore the regular train within thirty days, and a counter petition has been filed in the federal court by the company to restrain the commission from carrying out the order. a ieaij with phiixies.

Orville Brown, 11-year-old son of E. P. Brown of Paradise, was brought to a Salina hospital today in a critical condition, and doctors say he' cannot recover. The illness was caused, it is said, by the child having been locked in a dark room at the Paradise school by the janitor, George Hancock, ten days ago. The janitor, it is said, fre quently punishes boys by locking them in the dungeon when they become troublesome on the grounds, and young Brown was quarreling with other boys. The boy suffers from mental derangement, and has symp toms of St. Vitus dance and pneumonia. FIRE CHIEF Now Gives Out the Facts. Suffered 20 Years Restored by Tanlac. District Fire Chief George E. Hughes, Hose company No. 4, at Fourteenth and Pennsylvania avenue, Kansas City, Mo., is now an ardent champion of Tanlac and in a recent statement regarding the benefits he has derived from 4t said: "There's an old saying, 'Proof of the pudding is the eating thereof,' that goes in the case of Tanlac. because I have tried the medicine and know it is good." Chief Hughes has -been a member of the Kansas City fire department for thirty-seven years and is popular with all who know him. Continuing his statement. Chief Hughes said: "I have1 suffered from catarrh for twenty years or more. My nasal pass ages were stopped up all the time, as if I had a severe cold, and breathing through my nose was difficult. I was bothered by a ringing in my ears and my head felt heavy and ached terribly at times. I also suffered from sore throat, chafed and irritated bronchial tubes and was forever hawking and spitting. There was a continual drop ping of mucus into my throat, which caused a sickening sensation and kept my stomach all upset so I couldn't en joy my meals. I had that tired, drowsy, wornout feeling all the time. "I had tried a number of medicines which were recommended for catarrh but none of them seemed to reach my case. Finally one of the boys con nected with the department got after me to try Tanlac and was so enthusi astic over what it had done for him that I began taking it myself. Well, I have taken only two bottles so far, but there's no denying the fact that it has helped me, and helped me won derfully, already. My head is clear ing up fine and my nasal passages have opened up until I can breathe much better. The flow of mucus has so nearly stopped that I hardly, notice it any more and the soreness Kas left my throat ad bronchial tubes en tirely. Not only has Tanlac relieved me of catarrh, but there has also been a decided improvement in my general health since I began taking it. I have certainly found it to be a splendid medicine by far the best I have ever tried and gladly give it my strongest endorsement. Tanlac Is sold In Topeka by Tully McFarland Drug Co. Adv.

Director. Waahmg- It is announced by the city comtrus- slon that paving petitions will be ac cepted and acted upon up to April 1.' No paving was done in Topeka last I year owing to the war conditions. It can hardly be considered advisable to let another year go by without action on this much needed kind of lmprove ment. Not only do many streets need paving, but the welfare of the city de mands that every kind of contemplat ed improvement be got under way at the earliest possible date. It la re- ported that Commissioner Tandy has in mind the letting of contracts for i two new bridges. The commissioner could not do a better thing than re- lieve hi'j mind of the burden at once. by starting the work of construction. "Why should there be delay? Private citizens are putting down their mon ey for improvements at a time when i Such action is most needed and two building projects have been under 1 taken already, involving the expendir ture of approximately $40,000. The city should not be a slacker in the .campaign for a resumption of busi ness. ,r Then again the farmers who voted in favor of government ownership of jVallroads may feel that they are get 3 ting revenge on the roads for robbing them, thru charging exorbitant freight rates in the past. A collector of internal revenue in Chicago insists that forgers, burglars and thieves of every kind shall pay an income tax on thr proceeds of their activities. Jn such cases why not take it all? i 1 t The Bolshevik agents setit intauTtus- sia by Germany have returned to J plague their sponsors. The Ebert gov- ernment is asking Trotzky to call off his gang. Itetribution is overtaking Germany in more ways than one. i The Christian Science Monitor calls attention to the fact that it appears to be harder to get the men out of the army than it was to get them in. Senator Schoch writes a letter to this department, in which he claims that 5 bis attitude on the primary election law has been misunderstood. It ap 5 pears from the senator's communica- tion that he does xjot desire to kill the g primary but merely wishes to extract i its teeth. Several states have begun legal pro- ceedings in resistance of the increase in telephone rates. A more effective procedure probably would be a united j effort to force Burleson out of office. As long as he remains at the head of I the wire service the public must suf- fer.' In every contest between state r and rational authority the nation J w ins. If Portugal feel that she must have a kins she Is .under no necessity of J calling back her old one. There are several experts in the king business t now at liberty in various parts of Eu t rope who probably are open to en gagements. Probably J. Ogden Armour is not t,so greatly alarmed regarding the fu- ture of his business as he appeared to i be when he testified before the Inves- tigatlng committee. He cannot have forgotten the dissolution of the Stand l ard Oil trust and the manner in which Tthe business and profits of the con- ;cern grew thereafter As soon as it was announced that -the government was about to loosen up on its wheat holdings the price dropped from two to five cents irj tlie Kansas City market and the receipts Jumped to nearly 100 cars a day. Following the robbery of three stores on Kansas avenue within a few idays or riishtsthe police, it la re ported, are constrained to admit that a gang of burglars Is operating in To- peka. Havj reached this conclu sion., probably their next move will be in the direction of hunting down and capturing the gang. Be sue you arc right, then go ahead. THK NEXT-WAN. Preparations by the treasury de partment are underlay for floating another loan of probably 36, 000,000.-000.- The proceeds of previous loans are exhausted and the government is dependent upon the sale of treasury certificates for money to carry on its activities. The indications are that Uncle Sam will be compelled to take his chances in the market with other borrowers. This means that he- must pay a higher rate, reaching possibly to 5 per cent. The war spirit, a very Important factor in other loan drives, has sub sided, and former appeals to patriot ism by means of hurricane methods would not now be effectual, especially In view of the decline In all liberty is sues, except" the 3 14 s. "The next loan," gays Henry Clews, "must de pend more upon a high sense of pub lic spirit, upon intelligent self-interests and upon meeting financial conditions upon a business-like basis." Money, like labor and everything else, under ordinary conditions will go where it can command thei highest returns. There are other things in this con nection which are certain to attract public attention. Many unnecessary government activities are still main tained; many Unnecessary bureaux are endeavoring to make themselves per manent; many constructive works that should be stopped are still going-, while hundreds of millions, if not billions, could be saved during the current year if there were only sufficient effort in thaf direction. The people will not be willing to let go their money at less than this market price in order to maintain a policy of this sort. Few complaints were heard on this score during the war but now lending mon ey to the government has become a cold blooded business proposition. It the treasury officials do not realize this already, they will when they at tempt to float another loan. SenatorLewis urges passage of the $100,000,000 relief bill on the ground that it is necessary to sustain PresU dent Wilson in his work at the peace conference. Defeat of the measure, he declares, would "dishonor" the presi dent and embarrass him at Paris. But the impression has been given in this country that the "dishonoring" took place last November. Hasn't the pub lic the president's word for it? WHEN WILXj PRICES FALL.? It is generally expected that the general tendency of prices will be downward from pcesent levels, but there are counter influences which will tend 'to hold the movement in check. The most important of these influences is the high cost of living, which, owing to the situation in food stuffs and clothing materials seems not likely to decline much before an other world's crop has come to mar ket. It is very desirable that the gen eral wage scale and living costs shall decline together so that the wage earner may lose nothing of fiis pres ent command over the goods which enter into his budget. It would be impossible by any con cert of action that can be imagined to keep farm products at the present lev el. They are bound to follow the law of supply and demand, and the de velopment which is goins on in agri culture, together with the demobiliza tion of the armies will bring' them down. The farm tractor is an agency which will have an important effect. especially in the opening of new lands. and there are numerous influences at work. But when farm products come down, so that the farmer is feeding the industrial population at lower prices, he will expect that the indus trial products which he buys will also come down. It will be unfair to him if they do not, and if they should not do so promptly there will be a renew al of the movement away from the farm and into the town industries un til the equilibrium is restored by nat ural forces. It Is to be hoped that in these re adjustments all parties will gain some thing, and that will be the case if they all improve their methods and are loy al and fair to one another as partners should be. They are all members of the productive organization, exchang ing services with one another, and if they all Increase in efficiency, they will all find their labors bringing them larger returns. And no class can increase its net earnings in any other way without reducing the share of the others. It 1 recognized that there are in evitable difficulties about the transfer of millions of men from the armies and war industries, where their serv ices produce nothing for the public market, back to the peace industries, where everything they produce must be absorbed and taken off the market by the public demand. It is evident that there must be a general read justment of trading relations, or ii other words, of wages and prices, which is a process that takes time. It cannot be regulated by any arbitrary authority. It must work itself out. There has been talk of having the government fix minimum prices, to prevent a too rapid decline, says the Commercial and Financial World, but it is evident that the government's control over rising prices, altho not absolute, is greater than over falling I prices. The producers woold not want j the government's minimum main- j tained if the public failed to buy at that level, and fixing the minimum would accomplish nothing unless the government stood ready to. take the output. TOPEKA STATES JOTONAI. INFORMATION BUREAU FREDERIC J. HAHKTN. Director. 'Waablngtca. D. C OCR GREAT Olli RESERVE. Washington, D. C, Jan.- 19. From a drawer in a tall "oak cabinet the geologist took a flat bit of black rook and a thin glass tube. Placing the piece of rock in a mortar, he crushed It into fine sand and P""red it into the lower end of the tube. Then he lit a gas burner, which produced a thin point of fir e. and hekJ the low er end of the tube over it. Gradually the tube filled with a thick, brown liquid. "Oil," the geologist commented briefly. The piece of rock from which this oil was distilled came from Colorado, where there are huge areas of it, and the geologist was Dean E. Winchester of the United States geological survey,! who has Just returned to Washington after an investigation of our oil shale resources. For the past three years, Mr. Winchester has traveled with a wagon outfit thru the Rocky moun tains In search of this particular rock which yields oil. He has spent weeks in country practically uninhabited by man. but underlain bv -!ch deposits of oil that in the years to come must supply the ever-growing demand of American industry. "During three weeks last summer," said Mr. Winchester, "we traveled thru the mountains without once dis covering a road. Our men had to go ahead, with axes, and clear a passage for our wagon outfit." Tet within ten years this wilderness will be a scene of industry, lor enor mous areas of it are underlain by the oil shales. "Thirty-six square miles is a town ship in the west," the geologist ex plained, "and in Colorado alone there are forty townships underlain by oil shales. In Utah there are even more than that." He estimates that there is enough shale in Colorado alone to produce twenty billion barrels 01 on. The oil shale, while just beginning to attract attention in this country, is not a new discovery. In Scotland and France, the extraction of oil from rock has long been a profitable in dustry, but in the United States the supply of oil from wells has always been sufficient to meet our demands, and it has been produced so cheaply that no attempt has been made to develop an oil-shales industry. In the middle of the last century the Mor mons were running a solitary distill ing plant in Utah, but it was later discontinued. All that our huge beds of oil shale have received are the curses of American cattlemen, because the soil over them is almost barren of grass. Recently, however, the oil shale has begun to attract the attention it de serves. The geological survey is be ing deluged with inquiries concerning the location of shale deposits; the bureau of mines is speeding up its experimental work with oil -shales in its laboratories at Pittsburgh; and many individual oil companies are em ploying chemists for experiment and research on the subject. For the na tion is awake to the fact that its oil wells are not inexhaustible. Moreover, the search for new sources of supply has failed. We have now reached the absolute maximum of our oil "produc tion from wells, but the demand for oil and oil products in our industries has just begun. Every year, more of our ships burn oil. Every year these is a greater number of automobiles of greater horse power. Before the war. the government informed the public that unless new oil fields were discovered, the nation's supply of gasoline would be exhausted in thirty years. This threatened oil scarcity has particular aspects for the reason that oil is now in the first ranks of im portant world,;ommoditles. Hereto fore, the economic prosperity of a na tion depended on its supplies of four commodities: wheat, cotton. Iron ana coal. Germany's great economic de velopment began after she came into possession of the iron ores or Alsace I.orraine. while Spain's economic de velopment has always beeri hampered by lack of coal. But now a nation must also have oil. It was the rich oil fields of Rumania that enabled Ger many to continue the war for so long a period, and, in the meantime, alarmed by the scarcity of the oil within her dominions, she put her scientists to work investisrating other means of producing oil. The Germans are reported now to be producing a good grade of oil- from a very low grade of lignite coal If the United States is to maintain its prestige as a great power, it must either purchase oil fields outside of its own boundaries or develop its oil shales. The first possibility is fraught with danger, since it would mean the protection of property taxed and con trolled by anotner nation. The sec ond expedient is far more practical, but will require a great deal of de velopment. What is needed at present Is a cheaper, and more efficient method of turning the shales into oil. For this, machinery must be developed. The methods used by the Scot and the French might, of course, be Imported, but the oil industry believes that a better method can be developed here in America. The oil shales found in France and Scotland are not of the same variety as those found in our Rocky mountains, which belong to a younger geologic period and have a different chemical' co -nposition. Ameri cans feel certain they can develop something better, altho one Scottish machine has already been installed by an American oil concern, with a view to testing its power. The theory of the existence of the oil shale is almost as interesting as the oil shale itself. Geologists, in study ing various sections of this shale for 1 ition.' discovered that it contained Innumerable fossils of ancient vege table and animal life. The geological survey has specimens of rock contain ing perfect outlines of leaves, insects, fish and worms many worms which at one time must have swarmed in the Rocky mountain regions. Their decaying bodies, it Is believed, are re sponsible for the vast oil content of the shales. Be this as it may, the shale from which the oil may be distilled is cer tainly there eighteen or nineteen hundred tons of it to an acre of shales one foot thick. It is encouraging to know this, even tho the production of Jhe oil j is not likely to have any marked effect on our fuel supply for several years. Much investigation must yet be carried on before an oil shale industry can be initiated. An investment of half a million dollars for the machinery alone will be re quired in erecting a single plant, and it wiU take at least one year to build 1 a working plant of commercial sie. Naturally our oil fields must prove en tirely inadc-"-te before American cap ital goes into the oil shale business. In the Ttfeantime the government de sires to warn all those who value their money not to invest in any oil-shale stock until they have fullv investigat ed its history. This is a lavonte pro motion scheme at present, and many persons have already become victims of certain unscrupulous gentlemen of convincing eloquence who depict the glorious future of the oil shale, with out mentioning the tremendous amount of capital required for its de velopment.

It is not surprising that there should be a couple of army meat scandals in Europe. Without a few of those it wouldn't be a war. Away back in history we find them. Didn't some body ask "Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed that he hath grown so great V" Nobody could answer. They were suspicious of the meat even in those ancient days. What did the soldiers talk most about in our own civil war? The war? No, the punk meat they had to eat. Some of them are talking about it yet. It isn't nec essary to mention the Spanish war and the embalmed beef. The first thing to do in any war is to make arrange ments for the meat scandal.

DOROTHY DEK TALKS BY DqROTHY DEC Werld's Htgheat Paid Woman Writer. Tlier Model Wife. 1. "The difficulty of being a model wife." said a woman the other day, "is that in order to please your husband and live up to his expectations, a wife must always be a this year's model. Last year's model wife doesn't go with him. "It would be easy enough to be a model wife if a man continued to be satisfied with the model that he pick ed out, and if he would settle on the particular line of charms and virtues that he desired in his wife and suck to specifications. But he doesn't. "He gets tired of the very qualities that caused him to select the particu lar woman he did for a wife, just as he gets tired of the shape, size and "color of his old automobile, and wants to trade them in for something that's fresh and shiny with red paint and get all the new fangled alleged, im provements. "That's why the job of being a wife in these days is about the most haz ardous undertaking a woman can go into. She can't settle down and de velop her talents along any one line because she never knows when her husband is going to demand that she shall be something entirely different. and want her to change from being a limousine into a jitney, or convert her self from being a jitney into a llmou sine, so to speak, or to install a new set of gears in her mental make up, or to shift from low speed to high. "Suppose when a man was poor and required a car in his business he went out and bought a big strong motor truck, out of which he got faithful service for fifteen or twenty years. and at the end of that time,, when he had made a fortune largely by the aid of the truck, he suddenly became dis gusted with it and wanted to send it to the scrap heap because It was heavy and cumbersome, and wasn't a stream line racing car. We'd think him crazy. "Yet that's about the attitude thou sands of men take towards their faith ful old wives as they approach middle age. vv hen the man was young and poor, and needed an abe bodied working partner he married a girl who was in the motor truck class. She wasn't a show window ornament to begin with, but she was a first aid to prosperity. She cooked and sewed. washed, patched, mended, and did her own baby tending, pulled and hauled until she got her man upon the firm road that leads to success, and in those strenuous times you can depend upon it that she was just about the kind of a model wife that her husband wanted."

EVENING STORY Down the lane. BY R. RAY BAKER. "And so you think you've' got to call this off, this weddin' of ours, do you He was an angular young ienow. with hair that bordered on the yel low, and he wore a striked green and red shirt, blue overalls and boots that were like the proverbial snow shovels. His eyes were gray, and he had just a few freckles peeping thru a heavy coat of tan. Altogether he was not unprepossessing. Dress him up in "store clothes," polish his shoes and his speech and his manners, place him in a ballroom and he would have no trouble in filling his card. "Yes, Joe, -I've got to. You see all the prospect before me here is hard work on a farm. If I marry you I'm just a farmer's wife. What I want is to see the world, to live in the big city, where there are scooting automobiles and clanging street cars, and lots of lights and operas and those things." He grinned a rueful sort of grin and rested Ills chin in his hands and his elbows on his knees while he gazed intently at- a colony of ants a short distance from his feet without seeing one of the insects. She was seated near him on the log. Her dress was plain blue ging ham, and she wore a sunbonnet to match it. The sunbonnet served as a frame for an oval face, flushed with health, and despite the bonnet's big ness it could not prevent several wisps of luxuriant hair from peeping out at the edges. Some of the wisns aDDear- ed black, while others seemed a dark red. It must have been the way the sunshine, sifting thru the interlacing leaves and formed the roof of the for est path, fell on them. Some such idea occurred tb Joe as he sat in moody meditation, but his heart was too heavy to let him dwell on any such problem as whether a girl can have hair of two different shades. "Has has Paul McCormick any thing to do with this?" he ventured finally, raising his head. A firm, slightly rebellious expres sion crossed her. face, but it was gone in a flash and superseded by one that was closely akin to pity. "Yes, he has." she told him. "I may as well tell you it all, Joe. You see, after Mr. McCormick was here last summer we kept up the correspond ence. You and me was engaged at the time, and perhaps I ought to have told you then; but I didn't think either him or me was serious until a month ago when he proposed to me by. let ter. The letters had been getting more and more friedly of late, and I was not so much surprised when he asked me to go to Cleveland and mar ry him. "When he was here he told me all about life in the city; about his yachts and his automobile and the beautiful home he was going to build. And he made me think a lot; though of course I didn't suspect he intended for me to live in that house. It didn't seem pos sible then, and it don't now, that a rich man like him would want to marry me. I always thought a heap of you, Joe, and we would have got married next week, just as we planned, only for his proposal. You see, mar rying him offers me a chance to live the life I have dreamed about so often. Please don't feel too bad and don't think harsh of, me. will you. Joe?" .Top stood up and placed his straw hat firmly on his head. He held out a hand and tried to grin pleasantly. "That's all right, Mae," he said. "I don't think hsrsh of you. When are you goln', if I may ask, and can I carry your things te the station for you "Tomorrow," she answered. "He said to wire him if I was going, and he'd be-at the station to meet me in Cleveland. I decided to send a tele gram just before I got on the train here. As for you going to the sta tion well, I think it best to say good-by here and now." He clasped her, firmly by the hand, and left her. walking slowly out of sight down the lane, without looking back. Mae sat on the log some time after his departure from the scene, telling herself that she really cared a lot for this country youth; and if It were not for the motor car and the yachts and the magnificent home that were premised her she well she had once told Joe Martin that she would marry him. and Mae did not feel that she was fickle. Finally she rose and walked along the path in the direction opposite to that which Joe had taken. She was absorbed in thought and scarcely no ticed where she was until she found herself looking down at a stocky tawny-haired youth of about seven, carry ing a rake over his shoulder. She had passed from,the woods and was tra versing the edge of a field. "Hello, sis," was the youth's greet ing. "Where you goin' home? To get ready for the trip to Cleveland?" She was startled. This boy was Joe's brother, altho he had always re ferred to her as his sister, probably counting on future events. Surelv Joe had not seen him so soon and told him of her plans. "What do you mean. Bub?" she asked. "What's this about a trip to Cleveland?" The boy spread his mouth in a wide, knowing grin. "Aw. you can't fool me," he assert ed. "Didn't I hear Joe atellin' the folks 'bout it last night? Didn't I hear him say he had got a job in a survey or's office or something in Cleveland thru takin that mail school course? Didn't I hear him say he didn't want you to spend your days on a farm and he was going to take you to the city and make good there? Didn't I toiler him and see him meet ou in Lover's Lane this afternoon to talk it over with you? Didn't I. huh? And" then you try to fool me like that. Skflime on you. sis." Early in the afternoon the next day Mae set out for the railroad station. Her father and mother wanted to ac company her. but she declined and walked off. lugging a suitcase which contained the clothes she had been un able to crowd Into the trunk that was taken to the station the day previous. She had plenty of time so she saun tered along, taking last looks at he fields and the houses and trees that had been her surroundings ever since she could remember. At the entrance to Lover's Lane she paused. It was in that lane she had promised to marry Joe, and it had been their tryst ing place for two years or more. Tears swelled in her eyes as she stood and looked down the lane, which was tak ing on its multi-colored autumn garb. Somehow, she felt it was becoming a great effort to leave. It would not take much to make her change her mind, she told herself. She tried to move on, but she could not pass the entrance to that leafy path without taking one more look at the log on which she and her farmer lover had sat too many times and dis cussed the future. Silently she glided down the lane. Hearing a rustle around a bend in the path, she stopped The rustle grew more distinct. She recrfgnized the sound as made by some one walking along the leafy floor. She crouched behind the trunk and peered forth to see who it was. Presently he sippeared, an angular yourus fellow, with hair that bordered on yellow, wearing a striped green and red shirt, blue overalls and boots that were like snow shovels. Over a shoulder was slung a peculiar Instru ment that looked like a telescope on three legs. It was a surveyor's tran sit. Before boarding the train Mae wrote a telegram and handed it thru the ticket window to the combined station agent and operator. The address on the telegram contained the name of Paul McCormick. "Thirty-five cents," said the oper ator, after reading the message and checking the number of words. Mae paid for it, while a strange little smile flickered over her face. A short time later she looked out the window of the train as it sped on its way toward Cleveland. F'ading in the distance were the hills and woods that hid from view the home she was leav ing. She smiled and, turning from the window, addressed her seat compan ion: "I'm glad I didn't go yesterday as I had planned, Joe; and I'm glad the telegram I sent said 'no' instead of yes.'

ELIZABETH THOMPSON. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a woman 35 years old and I notice that my skin is becoming wrinkled. What can I do for this? MRS. S. Massage with a good cream will do away with premature wrinkles. Fol lowing are formulas for a skin food and a lotion for wrinkles: Skin Food Oil of sweet al nonds, 4 ounces; white wax, 6 drams; sperma ceti, 6 drams; borax, 2 drama: glycer ine, 1V4 ounces; orange flower water, 2 ounces; oil of neroli, 15 drops; oil of blgarde (orange skin), IS drops; oil of pimento. 3 3 drops. Melt the first three? 'ngredients, add the glycerin to the orange flower wa ter and dissolve the borax in the mix ture; then pour it slowly Into t(ie blended fats, stirring continuously. Wrinkle Lotion Alum (powdered), 70 grain's; almond milk (thick), 1 ounces; rosewater, 6 ounces. Dissolve the alum in the rosewater, then -pour gently vlnto the almond milk, with constant agitation. Apply with a soft linen cloth every night be fore retiring. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a girl 15 years old and am going with boys. X have been going with a boy my age for about three months and like him very much. He Is in every respect a gentleman. At Christmas time he gave me a very nice present. One night I went to a party with him and some other boys and girls. While 1 was there another boy talked a great deal to me. He wanted to take me home, but I told him that the boy I came witb would do it. Then he made a date for the eoTnlng Sunday. Seme way the other boy found it out and was very angry. I told him I was too young to -be in love. I told him that you always advised a girl to go wi.h all the boys, hut he is still angry be cause I do. Should I give him up or not? v. K. You are too young to go with boys at all. A girl of your age should be interested In her school work and play with other girls. If she devotes her time to boys, her mind is not improved and by tbe time she is old enough to have her good time she has lost her freshness and has not the added charm of being interesting. It is certainly a mistake for a young girl to go with one boy only. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am trou bled with inflamed skin. Can. you rec ommend anything to use for this? LITTLE BKAUTY. The following is a remedy for In flamed skin: Boracic acid, one dram; distilled witch hazel, two ounces; rose water, two ounces. If. this, however, has no effect. It would be well to consult a physician, as the blood or stomach may be in a bad condition, and a local treatment will have little effect. Dear Mrs. Thompson: My father and mother are dead and I have one sister and no other relatives. My sister is going to my grand parents and I don't have anywhere to go. My sis ter wants me to go and stay at the Vinm r raiiAar v a-h.i 1 A I you do? WOP.ftlEDI B1LLIE. 1 I do not know your circumstances j well enough to advise you.

During the war I was patient and manatied to get along because at that time I did work. What can I do to get his discharge? L. R. H.. Tell your husband to make applica tion to his commanding officer on the ground of having a dependent wife to support. This may hasten his release.

Says Ifs Too Hard To Get to Westmoreland in Winter, Br. Benjamin Brunner of Warn ego. who won undyins fame by being the only member of the state senate of 1917 who voted "against the Kansas bone dry law but who fell on the water wagon and voted for ratification of the national prohibition amendment last week, has put a bill in the senate hop per that may cause considerable stir in Pottawatomie county before the session is over. Doctor Brunner's bill provides for holding the district court twice a year in Wameso instead of in Westmoreland, the county seat.

Therefore, it is proposed that only the Septem ber and May terms of the district court be held at Westmoreln nd and that the April and December terms be held at Wamego. Won hi Provide Quarters.

KANSAS MINERS Ask To Havo Their Views Given Thru State Journal. To the Editor of the State Journal: I was requested this morning, by many of my fellow-miners, to express my views on the circular letter sent out by the officers of District No. "14, United Mine Workers of Ameripa, asking the membership to petition Governor Henry Allen, of Kansas, the right to elect by referendum vote, the mine inspector of the state. It irf to be hoped that Governor Allen wiU make thoro investigation bef4ra-hc steps on such treacherous ground). In seJekins this change, an attempt is being made to convince the miners that their interest and safety would be better guarded if the inspector was elected by them.

SHEARER ASKS DIVORCE Charges Wife With Improper Conduct With Sergeant Meyers. The tiop entertained by city offi cials that Mr. and Mrs. John Vernon Shearer. 1300 North Western avenue, were going to start life ane,w after Mrs. Shearer and two other women had been called into the office of Hugh Fisher, county attorney, a few weeks age and made confessions con cerning intimate relations with sol diers, was dashed to pieces today when Shearer filed a petition in the office of the district court asking, a divorce from his wife. He charges that she abandoned him about a month ago and that he is unable to learn her whereabo,uts. He also charges her with having improper relations with Fergt. Cecil Meyers, a soldier from Camp Funston. About a month ago the King Broth ers, humane agents, began investiga tions in connections with rumors to the effect that Mrs. Shearer was neg lecting her baby. One revelation brought on another, it is claimed, and ultimately Mrs. Shearer, Christine Faidley, her 15-year-old sister, and Kula Earl were called into the office of the coifnty attorney to make affi davits. They oil confessed that they had been having improper relations with soldiers at various hotels in To peka and Sergeant Meyers was charged with a statutory o flense against the Faidley girl, who was under age. His prosecution was left to the army au thorities. Shearer came to the city jail to see his wife and agreed to take her back if she would conduct herself properly and take care of their home and baby. The apparent outcome of the case is Shearer's petition for divorce. They were married October 2, 1916. Mrs. Shearer is said to be only 20 years old. YOU MUST BE CAREFUL! Twenty-Two Flu Cases Tuesday and Fifteen More Today. Fifteen cases of Influenza reported this morning at the office of the pub lic health department and twenty-two on Tuesday give riseAo the consider ation that there may be a third epi demic of influenza brewing In the city. According to the health authorities, it will be a gorAl idea for the people to again consider the proposition of doing all they can to. avoid contract ing the disease. Eight releases were also reported this morning. The reports carry the day up to 2:30 o'clock. Most of the cases reported Tues day were on the West side. Six cases were reported from one family ia North Topeka. According to Or. H. t. Clark, city health officer, people arc becoming lax in obeying the quaran tine regulations, both as to permitting visitors to enter their tomes and as to making little forbidden pilgrimages of their own.

Klit the members of the senate are in no hurry about the matter. (This was plainly indicated today wfien Malone, of Herndon, introduced a resolution providing that the ser-peant-at-arms be instructed to pro .ciire a new flas to take the place of the old flaj? that han?s over the pres ident's desk, and that he be author ized to purchase one picture of Pres ident Wilson and one of General Per ching, to be displayed in the cham ber. Senator Malone moved that the res olution be piven immediate consider ation under a suspension of the rules, but it did not even require a stand ing vote to show that the majority of the senators were in no hurry about- tbje matter The senators refused to declare an emergency and the resolu tion must go thru the regular routine. (Senator Malone explained that he feels the senate could show a little mxre patriotism without rioinj? itself any great harm. "That old flag that hangs over the president's desk makes me ashamed every time I look at it," h said. "Not only is it old, but it is ed covered with dust and dirt that it is almost impossible to distinguish the Btars and stripes on it." J Should Bo Glad To Do It. Senator Malone also said that he believed the members of the senate would be glad to do honor to Wilson and Pershing, the two great American leaders of the war and the two who are certain to go down in history as thje saviors of democracy. The senate transacted very little im portant busine during this morning's session. Twenty bills were introduced, most of them of a local nature. On? b5f Metcalf of Lawrence provides for the creation of a Kansas soldiers and sailors' memorial tree board and for the creation of a fund with which it may function and aid in commemorat ing the valor of the Kansas boys in the great war. bill by Malone would make it pos sible for any county in the state to make war on the grasshopper pests. It; provides that any board of county commissioners in any part of the state west of the sixth principal meridian may provide for the purchase of a mixture to kill grasshoppers and may make rules and regulations for its use in the townships in the county. The bill provides that the formula used be furnished by the Kansas State Agri cultural college. Increase Barber Board Power. Senator Schoch put a bill into the hopper providing for an increase in the powers of the state barber board. The board under the new bill would be required to see that every barber practicing in the state be required to send an affidavit to the secretary of state giving his name and address and the length of time he had practiced with razor and scissors. The board also would be required to hold exam inations four times a year and to issue license certificates to all new practi tioners upon the payment of a fee of one dollar and a half. Senator Schoch announced that the bill was intro duced upon request. PARRCASE TO THE JURY Rossville Sailor Is Accused of Selling Mortgaged Livestock. The trial of ffhn Parr, Rossville sailor, chargad with selling mortgaged property, came to an end today in the second division of the district court and the jury was out at a late hour this afternoon. The trial was begun last Monday. Parr is accused of sell ing livestock without' the consent of the People's State bank of Rossville, to which it was alleged to be mort gaged. The case was hard fought thruout. Kvidence was brought In by the de fense to show that Parr had metwith many reverses and that much of the stock which he was alleged to have sold had died on his hands during an epidemic of disease. Parr was arrested last summer when he returned home on a furlo from the Great Lakes naval training station, where he was stationed, to .visit his family. The young sailor's wife and two small children, together with a number of Rossville people, some of whom had been summoned as witnesses, were present at the trial from the beginning. EXTEND THE HIGHWAY Senator Thompson Would Lengthen Fort-to-Fort Road. Senator Thompson of Hutchinson wants the Fort-to-Fort highway run ning from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Riley to be extended all the way to Fort Bliss, Tex., extending clear across Kansas and penetrating Oklahoma and Texas. A. resolution asking the Kansas members of the national con gress to act was introduced in the sen ate late this afternoon. The Thompson resolution looks to the establishment of one of the long est military highways In the west, and 'it would give practically the whole state of Kansas a direct highway to the gulf.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS Says Sickness Reported 3Iay Be Caused by Impurities. "Boil the water -was the advice given by Dr. H. L. Clark, city health officer, today. "For several days past ve have been getting- reports of many cases of light attacks of stomach and bowel trouble, affecting both children and adults," continued Doctor Clark. 'These cases have been occurring in many widely scattered parts of the city, and the natural presumption is that they may be due in some way to the city water, altho our daily bac teriological tests made in the city s laboratory have failed to show any thing to cause such suspicion. The possibility that these cases of Intes tinal trouble may in some way be related to the influenza epidemic is another theory we have been consid ering, altho the nature of the out break would rather indicate that it was a water borne trouble. Few per sons have been ill more than a day or two. "I understand that there has been quite a prevalent rumor that river water is being pumped into the water mains. I was at the pumping station this morning and I do not believe that anything of this kind has occurred. However, the city water will be chlor inated as soon as the recently received cniorinaung macnine can he con nected. Mr. Hopper, who is in charge of the pumping station, is making the necessary preparations for installing tms machine in a few days. In the meantime, take no chances and boil the water." This morning Andrew Veach, of the state board of health water laboratory at Lawrence, Dr. Clark and Commis sioner F. M. Xewland inspected the pumping plant in company with Mr. Hopper. They found the new improve ments at the plant being pushed rap- iaiy, out iouna notniner to erlve anv foundation to the rumor that river water has been pumped into the city mains. Mr. Hopper assured them that there is no necessity for using the raw river water, and that it would be a big fire which would make it riec- essary to open the intake valves to the river.

Only five bills were introduced dur ing the afternoon session of the sen ate. One by Schoch, of Shawnee, pro vides a total three-year appropriation of $200,000 for maintenance and for the erection of new buildings at the Industrial and Eductional institute of Topeka.

In accordance with the talk made by General Leonard "Wood before joint assemblage of the senate and sehouse this morning. Senator Ben Paulen this afternoon introduced resolution in the senate asking that congress provide for one year army enlistments. This was strictly in ac cord with statements made by Gen eral Wood that it is not necessary to train men for years in order to make good soldiers of them. The Paulen resolution also states that whereas the present West Point system is undemocratic the Kansas members of the national congress be requested to vote for a measure1 that will all candidates for commissions from West Point and other army schools be taken from the ranks of the army entirely. It is distinctly stated that the reso lution does not approve or condemn universal military training. fjovernnr Graham of Vermont hn been held in $5,0)0 under nn Indictment nlletrintf Inrppiiy and -:mbezzlement from thp state while he was auditor, from 130i to 19L.

Action tending toward the better ment of the city water service has be gun already, it was asserted at the city nail today. According to Commis sioner F. M- Xewland, when Wyncoop Kiersted left Topeka he had instruc tions to start work on drawing up plans for the temporary plant which will be installed as soon as possible. in consideration of the fact that it will take a great deal of time to get action on constructing either a suspen sion pipe line over the river from wells on the north side or the building of a tunnei unaer me river, it was neces sary to formulate a plan which would add temporarily to the supply. n was decided that if several wells were put down on the north side of the river and water piped from them that it could be done in that way. J According to Commissioner Xew land three or four wells will be put down. Kiersted believes that theso wells will furnish from 1.000. to 1,500 gallons of water a minute. Work on the wells will be started, says Xew land, as soon as the weather opens un and it becomes possible to carry on mat sort or work. One pump will operate the wells and the pump will be operated by a motor. The erection another building to house the ft f Ibmorrawl of dynamo and the steam boilers by which the dynamo will be operated will be necessary. I'he building will be a permanent part of the water plant as it will be used when the permanent improvements are finally decided upon, will be buit large enough for two large dynamos. Kiersted is ready to start drawing up the plans for con struction at once, it is said. The lob will be a bift mechanical one. Commissioner Newland says, and will undoubtedly require a good deal or time. We added that the work would be pushed with all possible speed. Permission must be obtained for the department to run a pipe line across the brick yards bridge and a special pipe will be ordered for this purpose. Then it will be necessary to get the permission of the state and of other property owners along the river front to carry the line across their property to the plant. Levels will have to be made, and estimates as to how far the water will be lifted. Until Kiersted finishes his plans and estimates Commissioner Newland says, it will be impoMible to give an estimate of the expected cost of the work already under way. The new additions to the system will not solve the problem permanently, according to Kiersted, but will prove effective in adding a sufficient surplus of water to enable the city to go thru the period necessary until the perma nent work can be decided upon and construction finished.

Losers Will Furnish an Oyster Supper to Winners. There is great activity and enthu siasm among the, officers and men of Company H, Kansas national guard, in recruiting for a second infantry company for Topeka. It is the plan of Capt. A. C. Smith and other officers of Company H to make Topeka, the capita! city of Kansas, the most impor tant national guard center ot the state. At its drill Tuesday night, Company H was arranged in two recruiting pla toons, the members of which will con tend for the honor of bringing in the largest number of new men. The los ing platoon is to furnish an oyster sup per to the winners. Kvery man has pledged himself to bring at least one new recruit to the next drill meeting. As the result of advance work on the part of some of the men several re cruits were signed up Tuesday night. The minimum quota of men for the new organization has already been more than half raised and it. is con fidently expected to go way over the top within the next ten days. The new company will be a part of the Fifth regiment, K. X. G. Company H is part of the Fourth regiment. Four Companies Here. It is hoped to have in Topeka with in a short time four guard companies two infantry companies, a head quarters company and a supply com pany. All men between the ages of 18 and 45 years, who are interested in military work, and desire to have To peka a chief center of one of the best national guard organizations in the United States, having the finest ar mory and military club house in the west, are being urged to enlist. Re cruits should report to the new ar mory, 400 Quincy street, between 7:30 and 9:30 next Friday evening, or to the old armorv, 112 East Seventh street, between the same hout next Tuesdly. A man well versed Lja military af fairs analyzes the situation with re-, gard to the national guard and state gu.ird as follows:- "Last summer the federal govern ment authorized and directed the state of Kansas and other states to recreate their national guards, which had been abolished by the taking rnto federal service the original guard organiza tions. The national guard is the only kind of state troops recognized and authorized by the United States gov ernment, and must continue to be such as long as the present laws are in force. Left Xo Soldiers Here. "It is true that after the federaliz ing of tne old guard, and in view of the fact th-4hetates-were left with1! out any kind of a military force to maintain order, state and home guard companies and battalions were organ ized as a temporary means of security.. Many of these organizations are still in existence pending the organization of the new national guard. In time of war the. entire male population of state may be tailed upon by its govei nor, for purposes of defense and se curity, but a state may not maintain two distinct military organizations at the same time. Consequently either the state guard or the national guard must be abolished. The national guard is the only militia organization legally sanctioned for the states. "The state guardsmen were enlisted for the period of the war and one year thereafter. They are subject to none of the rules as to iige and physical fit ness demanded under the existing laws, and companies and battalions of them in other parts of Kansas are seeking and receiving discharges." FOR CONTROL OEWATER Kansas Commission Wants $25,000 To Conduct Organization. Annual appropriations of $25,000 for 1920-21 are recommended to place the Kansas water commission upon a permanent and efficient basis in the first biennial report of the commission, just completed by Prof. H. A. Rice, secretary, and Rodger C. Rice, United States geological survey. It is also recommended that the legislature pass laws providing for the clearing of river hanks and river channels in Eastern Kansas as a flood relief measure. A deficiency appropriation of $1,000 to complete payment of 1919 bills is also urged. The proposed annual ap propriations for 1920-21 would be used for the following: Hydrumetrie investigation a in co-operation with the United States geological sur vey, y-'O.ooo per year.

TRACTOR SCHOOt A BIG SUCCESS International Harvester Company's In itrsictors Give Formers Valu able Help on Tractors. All who attended the tractor school which closed Tuesday, January 21st. at Topeka. Kan., after a two days' session, were well satisiied in every re spect. All that we were able to talk to said that they vere so well pleased that should a school be held within reasonable distance another year, they will be sure to attend. A no more timely subject than the operation of tractors could possibly have been studied in this community. It is timely both from the standpoint that there are many new tractor own ers and also from the absolute neces sity of keeping: all the tractors work ing this following season. We all know that it takes power and plenty of it to produce the most crops and to get the farm wqrk done on time. 3f the tractors are laid up for repairs, or some little adjustments, it is valu able time lost. T'be object of these tractor schools ::a to give tractor own ers and others interested in powr farming some nrst-aid work for th- tractor. The school enjoyed two timely an i instructive talks by J. C. Mohler, sec retary of State Hoard of Agriculture, and Hugh McVey of Capper publica tions. The one-reel motion picture, "Trac tor Farming.'' run at the Iris theater, elicited considerable favorable com ment. Five other schools will be held, as follows: Frankfort, Kansas, January 23rd and 2 4th. Herim-rton and 28th. Emporia, and 31st. Washington, Kansjs, February and 4th. r Manhattan. Kansas, February and 7th. It will pay you to make your pi ins to attend the school nearest to your locality. Adv. Congressman Jouett Shouso, of Kansas, who accepts government treasury job m usiitngton. 'While I will have no vote for the remaining mohth I would have served, I shall continue to look after the in terests of my state and my district in particular just the same as If I were still a member, Mr. Shouse said to day. As assistant secretary of the- treas ury, Mr. Shouse will have under him two general divisions of the work, the management of the war risk insur ance and the general oversight of the revenue divisions. The post is regard ed as next in importance to that of the secretary himself. "I had all my plans made to return to Kansas and go into business Mr. Shouse said today. "I hated to give them up.- but my close friend. Secre tary Glass, insisted that I should come to the treasury and tackle this big job for him. He put it to me as a matter of service and I accepted against my wishes." Because of the short time elapsing until congress adjourns, probably less than a month, it is not believed here there will be a special election called tOcboose a successor to Mr. Shouse. A GENERAL STRIKE IX SPAIN". Threat of Walkout Is Mnde if De mands Are Not Accepted. Madrid, Jan. 22. Threat of a gen eral strike was made by the commit tee of the Central Labor union today if the demands which it presented to the government were not accepted The demands include a minimum eight hour day and minimum wages corre sponding to the cost of living. And the .Reply Says England Is ot Well Informed. Amsterdam. Jan. 22. In'reply to a' British note requesting the German government to, refrain from further provocation of the Polish population in East and West Prussia. Posen and Silesia, the German-government, ac-i cording to a dispatch from Berlin, ex-i presses agreement with Great Britain j that the future of the German eastern frontiers depends upon the peace con- ference. The German note says the re- quest to "refrain from provocation can only be attributed to the fact tha; the British government is inadequate ly informed of events in the, east. j The German note declares that Ger- i many has done everything to redress Polish grievances and accuses the i Poles of continually provoking the j Germans. It says that Posen is in a i state of upheaval and that the German i population has appealed to tne uer-j man government for help, and the lat- j ter has been forced to take military measures to restore order. The note asserts that while the German govern- ment has refrained from action against Polish nationals "who planned and committed treason and revolt." it cannot "suffer ambitious imperialism to reign supreme." Events in upper Silesia, the German note contends, have nothing in com mon with national questions, and re garding East Prussia there can be no talk of a national Polish movement there. The note concludes: "All measures of the German gov ernment since the conclusion of the armistice have only served to carry out the prescriptions of the treaty to ward unjustifiable. Polish attempts to bring the Polish questions to a head before the peace conference. WOMEN BEHINDB1LL Will IiUroiluc-e legislative Measure for Tree for Kvcry Soldier.

Alittf t?t4 1 38BSSMS t$ 1 i g C LEGISLATIVE FIGHT ON House Ways and Means Committee Tunis Up Xose at Senate. A little war has been started be tween the upper and lower houses of the legislature. The ways and means committee of the lower house is held responsible. Contrary to the usual custom, the lower house ways and means commute- has refused to work with the ways and means committee of the senate in originating appropriation measures. This action has caused quite a little feeling among members of the senate, it is said, and there is a tendency to believe the house committee is rather swelled up over its importance. In past yeats it has been the cus tom for the two committees to divide up the appropriation bills and handle the work in a harmonious manner. Appropriation bills affecting educa tional and penal institutions have al ways originated in the senate and ex ecutive, charitable and judicial appro priations have come from the house. But it is announced that the house will go it alone during this session, that it will not co-operate and that it will originate all its own bills. This action will probably mean a great v eal more work for both committees and in cases where investigations are to be made it will probably mean two separate investigations where one would suffice under the old system. The house ways and means commit tee held its first investigation Tues day attvrnoon. This meeting was held in the office of the secretary of state and State Manager Kimball ex plained the system used by the heads of the institutions in getting up their Ludgets. Appropriation measures are more important this year than they eveir have been, as this is the first session of the legislature to fix per manent maintenance funds. BURY GRAIN IN PITS Ukrainians Hide It From tlx? Russian Bolshevist Hordes. Warsaw, Jan. 20 (Delayed). Ukrainian peasants are hiding grain from the Bolshevists by burying it in large pits dug in the clay soil. Before the grain is placed in hiding the peas ants dry the pits by building large fires in them. It is reported that large numbers of Germans remain in Kiev and oth er Ukrainian towns. They have, it is said, no intention to leave, and it is reported they have been offered large sums to fight in Petlura's army in the ranks of the Bolshevists. Common soldiers are said to be getting thirty rubles and officers from 100 to 200 rubles per day for service. Kiev is being deserted by all foreigners, who are, for the most part, headed fjr Warsas, Kovel and Cracow. German diplomatic agents have issued warn ing for all who are not natives to leave the country. There are a few Ameri can refugees from Kiev who have reached Moscow but are unable to lea-e there because they have iro funds. The cost of food at Kiev is almost as great as at Moscow, bread being sold is bad, butter costs 75 rubles a pound and eggs three rubles apiece. Clothing is so scarce that it is a com mon sight to see people robbed of their shoes on the street. Many Ger man officers have been stripped stark naked by bands of street prowlers. 2.5 ESCAPE FROjI JAIL Rock Island, ill.. Hostile Loses Some of Best Boarders. Chicago. Jan. 22. Armed with rifles, Chicago police today guarded every highway and railroad leading into Chicago in an effort to capture some or all of the twenty-five prison ers who escaped last night from the Rock Island. III., jail. Most of the prisoners were known as desperate characters, some of them being paroled convicts from Joliet and other state prfwns sent to Rock Island to work in munitions works. It is known, according to dispatches from Rock Island, that at least two revol vers were in the possession of the men. The escape, said to have been one of the most daring on record, was made shortly after 7 o'clock, by the aid of a wooden key whittled out by one of the men. Assembled in a corridor out side Turnkey John Sextons office, the KING Photographs are not an expense they are an investment Phone 3070 !i!li!!i!:il!ili!!!ii!jiii!lliii!iiI!!i!iii!Si!iii Quite So Empty men rushed the quarters occupied by the sheriff's family. When jail guards made an effort to recapture the prisoners, two guards were trampled under foot and Sexton was shot, tho not seriously. T he men then broke thru an unbarred window and scattered in the darkness. Police and c6unty authorities thru- out Illinois and Iowa were notified atj city and town in the section. It was reported the men had caught freight trains bound for Chicago, or had left Rock Island in stolen automobiles. Reports were current during the night that one or more of the prison ers had been captured. Among the prisoners was Arthur Miller, confessed murderer of Jacob Schaul, Rock Island business man.
