That city reported that near San Marcos, 125 miles away, forces loyal to the president were fighting against rebels sent to capture Carranza and gain possession of funds belongins to the Mexican treasury, which he is said to have taken with him in his flight from the capital. Rebel reinforcements are said to have been ordered up to the scene of the battle, in the southeastern corner of the state of Tlaxacala, and it Is probable the issue of the struggle will not be long delayed. Dispatches from Vera Cruz also seem to throw considerable doubt on reports of the assassination of Gen. Candido Aguilar, son-in-lr-w of Presi dent Carranza and governor of the state of Vera Cruz. So far as known, quiet prevails in districts of the coun try under control of rebel chieftains.

"Why should there be a standard weight for bread?" asked Jay Burns of Omaha, Neb., well known middle western baker before the fifth annual convention of the Transmississippi association of the baking Industry in second day's session at the Chamber of Commerce this morning. 'Nearly all ingredients of bread are sold by standard measure or weight." he said, "but why Ph.P"ld the product be required to weigh a certain amount when sold?. A -certain price a pound is asked for wool, but when you buy a suit of clothes, you don't buy It by the pound, do you?" .The debate over the standard bread weight law. with A. H. Eamford of Chicago, supporting-rthe. affirmative, and Jay Burns of Omaha, upholding the. negative, was the most interesting event on the morning s program. Says Public Demands It. Bamford said the principal reason for the establishment of a standard bread weight law was that the public is slowly but surely demanding it and that it would be better for the bakers to voluntarily establish such a law than to be forced to do so. "If bakers do not wish to lose the confidence of the consuming public they will be in favor of a standard weight," he said. Gov. Henry J. Allen was out of the city this morning but was to make the address on the industrial court scheduled for the morning program this afternoon. "Relation of Operating Costs to Ma terial Costs" was the subject of great interest to the bakers, as discussed by V. N. Power of Kansas City, Mo. "Hiring Real Salesmen to Sell Bread" was another interesting talk this morning by J. B. Hinson of Kansas City. Mo. Win M. Campbell of Kan sas City was unable to be present to day to present the subject, "The La bor Question How to Meet It," but his opinions on the subject were given in a paper at the afternoon meeting.

The interstate commerce commission is planning to act to relieve the car shortage delaying movement of com modities, according to information re ceived by members of the house inter state commerce committee today. An order diverting equipment from parts of the counrty where the needs are not so pressing, and an embargo on nones sentials from some sections, are under consideration, it was learned. As a result of the commission's con sideration of the situation there is no use for congress to take act'on. Chair man Esch, Wisconsin, and other mem bers of the house committee said. The $500,000,000 additional loans asked by the railroad executives for the pur chased of new equipment cannot re lieve the present situation, they pointed out. Must Hurry 1920 Crops. Railroads within ten days will begin preparations to move the grain crops. Chairman Kendall, of the car service commission, said today. "I think the car shortage will not be greater than usual in the grain move ment." said Kendall. "Storage of cars in the southwest, where the grain movement will open about June 15. will begin in ten days. In 1919 25,000 cars were ready when the southwestern growers were ready to ship. We hope to be able to have an equal number of cars ready this year if necessary. The 1920 crops, however, are forecast as considerably below those of 1919. If this is so, 15.000 cars may prove sufficient to open the southwestern movement.

More than fifty members of the so ciety were present at the luncheon. W. W. Bowman of Topeka is president of the society; J. W. Robinson, of To peka, vice president; S. 3. Ott, secre tary, and W. M.

Year of Incidents, "The last year has been one of re markable incidents and surprises," Mr. Shirk said. "In the first half of the year, the children were brought to us in rapid succession. During Christmas time we had more than usual on hand. Then there seemed to be a lull for two months when there seemed to he a rush of children to the home for shelter and love. Within one week, a family of seven, another of five, another of three, a tiny baby and a girl of fourteen years old. sev enteen in all, came to us from differ ent juvenile courts of the state. "These children scarcely had been cared for when there was another rush of children, and thirty-two were added to the roll of the society, the report showed.

Healy of Lincoln county today pre pared to have warrants issued charg ing the two with murder. f According to the statements of Bunch and his aunt the alleged con spiracy to kill Mr. and Mrs. Bunch was devised because they refused to sanction the marriage of Miss Hyman and Lee Bunch.

"We had another very touching case in a family of seven that were sent to us by a juvenile court, both parents living, the mother soon after giving birth to twins. "Placements have been a little slow since the first of January, owing large ly to the high cost of living and the uncertainty of the future." Mr. Shirk said. "At the close of our fiscal year, we had twelve children on hand, more than ever before in the history of our society, and this week we have eigh teen in the receiving home, being also the largest number ever recorded be fore at one time. We also had the largest number of operations of any year in our history, viz., thirty-six. This does not include the dental Work which had to be done on nearly every child that came in. "Adding to this visiting the children in their homes and securing reports on all under age. our friends can form some idea of the work that has been done. "While we rejoice above all things in the fine homes that open up to our children, we are also deeply grateful for the large contributions that have come to us thru the year, enabling us to pay all bills and by special contri butions start an endowment fund, which will help to maintain the work thru the lean years that may come at any time in case of serious crop fail ures."

Washington, May 1 1.- Telegrams were sent by the department of jus tice today to all United States at torneys reiterating the department's policy of holding the margin of profit of sugar sales to one cent for whole salers and two cents for retailers. Boston, May 12. Attorney Geneial Palmer today set the margin of profit to be allowed on sales of sugar at one cent a pound for wholesalers and two cents a pound at retail.

Congregational forces thruout the state will unite In the near future in a campaign to raise $260,000 for these two Congregational educational institutions. Of the amount, Wash burn is to, receive MOO, 000 and Fair- mount $150,000, during a four year period. The plan was drawn up Tuesday night by Pres. P. P. Womi- of Wash burn and Pres. W. K. Rollins of Fair mount. It was received by the entire conference this mornintr with the heartiest approval. Whether the budget be under or over subscribed, the money will be divided in a ratio of one to one and one-hair. Utmost Congeniality F.vldont. The Washburn faculty also has-re-quested the board of trustees to ask the conference to appoint two trustees annually, making a total of six out of the twenty-three, instead of four, as present. The utmost congeniality be tween the conference and the two col leges was in evidence. It was also recommended that a board of seven on educational institu tions should be appointed by the con ference, to consist of two lay women, two lay men and four ministers, whose duty it shall be to pay an annual visit to the institutions, study them with a view of conserving firancial. educa tional and religious interests from the conference viewpoint and to make a report of the institutions' progress. 'Washburn Slipping From Fold. That Washburn has been slipping from the Congregational fold was evi denced by figures introduced showing that there are only 118 Congregational students at Washburn as compared with 300 at Kansas university. R. W. Sanborn this morning de livered the annual address of the moderator, choosing for his subject The Pilgrim Spirit and the New Age." He pointed out the sufferings and .the forward spirit of the Pilgrim Fathers, declaring that 'the' present age has passed beyond mere modernity. 'Mayflower Beats Huns." "It was the Mayflower," he said, "which made impossible the German victory. How pitiably inefficient were alt the German U-boats against the spiritual TNT that was Btored in the hold of that fragile little, craft. Too late. Admiral von Tirpitz. It was not the Lusitania you sunk, on the ground that it carried enemy ammunition. You should have cabled your ances tors to scuttle the Mayflower before she. ever anchored under the lee of Cape Cod. The mischief was done that long ago and all the strategy of the G. H. Q. and all the organization of that famous gray army could not catch up with the explosive effects of those few scratches of a pen in the cabin of the Mayflower." A. J. Culler, of McPherson college, told of the present situation in Tur key, where he spent some time and traveled extensively with the Brethren church relief expeditions. America is the one nation universally trusted and looked up to in that country, he de clared. The Turks have the viewpoint that America stands for justice and right, he asserted. Favors Armenia Mandate. Could a part of Armenia be 'set aside under American mandate, Doc tor Culler asserted. It would practical ly solve the Near East problem. The Turks would leave the territory and the Armenians residing in Turkey would move into it, he said. He de clared the Armenians are a highly in tellectual and progessiv people, but are m danger oi losing tneir jnnsuan ity as the result of their persecution at the hands of the Turks. Their new religion, he said, was responsible for their suffering, from their viewpoint. The Mohammedan power is slowly slipping from the earth and already many leading Turks have signified their desire to become Christians, he said. Dr. Frank M. Sheldon, of Boston, gave a talk on "Jesus and the Religion of His Day," In which he pointed out that many of the statements made by j Christ were misconstrued by the pres ent generation. "The Problem f the Congregational Student" was the subject of an address by Prof. W. G. Mitchell, of Lawrence. Reception at 'Washburn At 5 o'clock this afternoon the dele gates were to be taken in automobiles to Washburn college, where they were to be received by Mrs. P. P.

Ho Flays Profiteers. Profiteers were denounced by Dr. Frank M. Sheldon, of Boston, In his talk before the ministers attending the sixty-sixth annual Congregational conference at the First church Tues- iday afternoon. He flayed both capital and labor for the part they are play ing in non-production and high price. In Bible times those who preyed upon the poor were thrown out of the land. This should be done with the modern profiteer. Doctor Sheldon de clared. He charged that those who took advantage of the war to make millions of dollars profit were worse than the slackers who dodged military service. A. L. Goudy. of Partridge, delivered the conference sermon Tusday night. Communion services were- held in .charge of President P. P. Womer. of I Washburn, and the Rev. John Rice. I The First church choir sang several numbers. Gamblers Feared Raids By Police Shot Newcomers Wichita Falls. Tex., May 12.

The cable In part follows: "From the beginning of the war I have been greatly surprised at the fail ure of the British admiralty to use Great Britain's great naval superiority in an effective way.. .In the presence of the present submarine erriergency they are helpless to the point of panic. "Every plan we suggest, they reject for some reason of prudence. In my view thin in Tint n t i m fnr nrnHonn, but for boldness even at the cost of great losses. I "In some of your dispatches you I have quite properly advised us of the sort of aid and co-operation desired j from us by the admiralty.

Sims also cabled, according to Daniels, that "re gardless of any future developments we can always count upon the sup port of the British navy.

Republican platform to be written at Chicago would demand that the United States be given the right to protect American lives and property in Mexico if the Mexican government is unable to, it was stated today on high authority.

It will demand a firm policy in dealing with Mexican affaire. There will be no advocacy of American inter vention, however. The suggestion. It is said, is to be embodied in a report on Mexican af fairs soon to be written by Senator Fall of New Mexico, chairman of a senate sub-committee which for several months has been investigating the Mexican question. The Investigation has Just been completed. Fall's report is expected to be ready shortly before the Republican convention meets. The report is expected to recom mend that congress refuse to sanotion recognition of a new regime in Mexico, until that government has entered into an agreement under which the United States could act against lawless ele ments fit Mexico.

Signs of tighter money were foreshadowed by the 8 per cent opening rate for demand loans. The uncertain money situation as indicated by yesterday's 10 per cent rate for call loans, accounted for the further Irregular ity of prices St the listless opening of to day's stock market Independent steels, sugars and low grade oils were moderately higher, but motors, equipments and ship pings again" tended downward..

Was Badly Run Down But Tan lac Restores Health. "Before I began taking Tanlac I only weighed ninety pounds, but today 1 weigh one hundred and seven pounds, and have just finished my fourth bottle," said Mrs. Harry Leath, 2216 South Sixth street, St. Joseph, Mo. "For a year I had suffered from stomach trouble and nervous indiges tion. My appetite was very poor and even the little I did manage to eat beaan to sour almost at once and I would bloat up with gas until I could hardly kreathe. I also suffered with severe pains around my heart and in the smail of my back. My head ached nearly all the time and I often be came so dizzy it was an effort for me to stand up- My kidneys worried me a great deal. I was so nervous I could get but little sleep, and always got up feeling tired and wornout. I continued getting worse until finally I became so badly run-down and weak I not only could not do my house work, but was actually unable to walk across the room without assistance. "A friend who had taken Tanlac with fine results advised me to try it, which I did, and the improvement in my health has been simply wonder ful. I have a splendid appetite, and my stomach is in such good condition I can rat just anything I want without having a particle of trouble afterward. The pains that I had around my hart and in my back are all gone, and I never have a headache or get dizzy any more. My nervs are in such good shape I can sleep like a child all night lon and always get up feeling greatly refreshed. In fact, 1 feel as well in every respect as I ever remem ber feeling in my life, and have re gained my strength so I can do my housework with as much ease as I ever could. I am glad to give this statement, and will be pleased to tell any one who will call on me personally more about what this grand medicine has done for me."

The lower the prices go the smaller will be the profits. Prof its are reckoned on a percentage ba sis. A pair of shoes sold for $1S, on a 3U per cent margin of profit would net the dealer $4. The same pair of shoes, when sold for $8 on the same margin of profit, would net him but thus cutting In two the amount paid in profit by the purchaser. J"oday is the centennial anniversary or the birth of Florence Nightingale. She was a pioneer in the w.ork of nursing wounded soldiers on the bat tlefield. Her followers now are num bered by the- thousands. Out of her activities perhaps grew the world-wide organization of the Red Cross. Cele brations of the day are in progress in many parts of the country. Congress still is wrestling with the problem of what form extra taxation for soldier bonus shall take. How ever the- money shall be obtained It will come out of the pockets of the people, including the soldiers them selves. The whole proceeding looks like an effort to buy the soldier's vote with his own money. Probably Samuel Gompers did not realize what he was up against when he challenged Governor Allen to a defense of the governor's own chifd. The war which was to end war Is j itself still unended so far as this coun- i try is concerned. 1 THE SUBMERGED STRATUM. Preliminary to a discussion of the Kansas industri&I .relations law the Detroit Newt says: Organised human society moving at the impulse of peril is one of the most terrible forces exhibited on earth. Our government is a democracy and In it the will and wishes t" the people are supposed to have great weight.- But v.-hen the government went to war no individual right stood before it. Will ing or unwilling men were forced from their homes and sent into the deadly peril of the front lines of battle. Pri vate property was seized: money wss taken from the people by' enormous taxes: all criticism and objection were overridden and silenced; those who demurred were hunted down and locked up; high officials who ventured ideas not strictly in harmony with the group action were disgraced, tried and sentenced to imprisonment. And in general the great mass of public opinion indorsed all these evi dences of autocratic severity. It was justified by public peril, was the pub lic verdict. Taking up Governor Allen's argu ment in justification of the law the News continue! as follows: Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas,, in his dealing with industrial disputes which endanger vital necessities, jus tifies government in summary pro ceedings on the ground of public peril, j Iabor says, "You must not take. away our right to strike." Governor Allen replies that- if the strike cuts off the means by which the people live, then the strike brings about a state of public peril and rights claimed by Individuals or groups of Individuals disappear before the great er rights of the state and the nation. Thereupon the question of justrre in the private quarrel between employer and employes Is submerged in the larger question of justice to the pub lic at large. At that moment the question comes under jurisdiction of government and should be handled by the judicial and executive departments of government with as much power to decide and enforce as in an other cases of public disturbance. When the question of industrial dis agreement is taken over into the province of th public, consideration of majority will at once enter. This Governor Allen settles by analysis of the composition of society. "Society hs says, "is builded in three strata: .About the top 14 per cent represent ing employing capital; t the bottom R'4 per cent representing organized labor: in the center. 93 per cent rep resenting 'us.' the Lublic a rood na tured. crotoolasmic mass, having no method of protection save the good natured power of passive resistance. Th Kansas industrial relations law is an effort to give this submerged nine-tenths of the American popula tion some protection. Governor Allen says It is not necessary to give full indorsement in detail to the Kansas plan, to admit the cogency of the rea soning which lea to it. organised so ciety brooks no opposition when its life is in peril. Food, fuel and the other basic productions upon which human life depends must not be cut off and if the acts of individuals or groups even incidentally tend to inter fere with the production of these ne cessities, those acts may lawfully be directed, check -d or even prohibited by the functions of government. This is Governor Henry J. Allen's contention and it will have the ap proval at least of the 92 per cent whose lives are constantly interfered with, if not imperiled, by the present industrial unrest and turmoil. But it also is Governor Allen's contention that the 93 per rent can be protected with full justice to the H4 per cent and th 5 per cent. -That is the pur pose of Allen's Kansas court. WHY BONDS ARE LOW. Why liberty bonds are low and prices of commodities are high' was explained recently before the Acad emy of Political Science by R. C. Lef fingwell, assistant secretary of the treasury. At this critical moment, he said, many of our people have turned gamblers and wasters. For plain liv ing and high thinking we have sub stituted wasting and bickering. We enjoy high living while we grumble at the high cost of living of silk stockings and shirts for the poor, of automobiles for men of small means, of palaces for the profiteer and the plutocrat. "High rates of interest and discount, limitations, of currency and credit, these and all other traditional meth ods," he declared, "should b. used courageously but they will not suffice under the abnormal world conditions now prevailing. We must get togeth er, stop bickering and face the critical situation as we should a foreign war. We must cut government expenditures to the quick, abjure bonuses and real ize promptly upon all salable war as sets. Above all we must work and save. We must produce more, but more important still, we must con sume Tess." Perhaps there could be found no better place to begin the cutting of expenditures than in the treasury de partment itself and the cutting proc ess could be extended to all other de partments without congressional ac tion. For five years, Mr. Leffingwell said, the world has been consuming more than it produced, living upon its cap ital, and the governments of the world have been issuing evidences of indebt edness to represent the wealth de stroyed. This has caused world in flation of prices. When they were is sued, no one. could foresee the prob able course of the market for liberty bonds and victory notes in the future with any degree of confidence. A year ago. It was freely predicted by financial authorities that victory notes would shortly go to a premium and that liberty bonds would be sell ing at or near par within a year or two. Every one, he continued, knows why these sanguine expectations have not been realized. With the armistice and still more after the victory loan, our people underwent a 1 great reaction. Those who had bought liberty bonds as a matter of patriotism but not as investors began to treat their bonds as so much spending money. Those who had obeyed the injunction to bor row and buy liberty bonds ignored the complementary injunction to save and pay for them. A $5 Or bond in the hands of a patriot turned spendthrift was to him a $50 bill to be spent Saturday night or to her a new hat and if the $50 bill turned out to be a $45 bill, small matter- This was the first and most im mediate cause of depreciation of lib erty bonds affecting them particu larly. Mr. Leffingwell pointed out that the bonds and notes were never meant to b treated as spending money. The Civil war, he said, gave us our fill of Interest bearing currency. Deprecia tion in market price serves as a check upon those who wish to spend their bonds. "Instead of telling the people frankly and .boldly," he said, "that prices are high because they are wast ing, ws fix prices and prosecute prof iteers in order that the people may buy more and pay less. Instead of telling the people that liberty bonds have depreciated because they are treating their liberty bonds as spend ing money, we clamor that the rate of Interest upon the bonds is too low and urge a bonus, to bondholders disguised as a refunding operation." Senator Capper ia reported to have directed the senate's attention to the fact that altho Attorney General Pal mer had promised to take action to bring down the high prices and had appointed a so-called fair price com mittee, that prices had gone steadily mounting tor" months, and that with these known facts having been offi cially brought out nine months ago there had not been a single prosecu tion either under federal law or the laws of the district of even one prof iteer. The truth of the senator's con tention being admitted, what does he plan to do about it? If he have any plan for doing away with profiteering why doesn't he spring it? The public derives no great satisfaction from be ing told that it is being robbed. What it wants is relief. And the profiteers care little about being exposed so long as there ia no interference with their operations. The United States was last in war. is last in peace and last In the League of Nations. Evening Story Fifty-Fifty. BY DORA MOLLAN. Ted Joy came into the family dining room doling out the morning mail and commenting on the external appear ance of each letter before parting with it. "Here's one for you from Aunt Ann, mother: the ever unwel come little bill for yours, dad; two for yours truly, and only one for you, Sally. What's happened to Chet? skipped you two days now." He paused to scrutinize carefully a large, square, brown envelope, ignoring his sister's outstretched hand while he re marked: "Says 'Fifty-fifty' in the corner and some, .address sounds like a tooth paste "Or a lottery number," added his father. "Give the letter to Sally. Ted; you're worse than a country postman." Sally was glad to hide her disap pointment at not receiving a letter in Chefs familiar scrawl by appearing interested in the one bearing the cryp tic number. "Quickest way to find out is to open it, I suppose," and Sally suited the action to the word. Glancing at the first few1 lines, she turned over to the signature, exclaim ing in a surprised tone: "Why. it's from Chefs sister. Elizabeth. They've taken a little house out in Browns ville. It's on a river, and it's hardly finished yet.' Then, reading along. "They've taken it by the year; expect to stay there most of the time. They've named i 'Fifty-fifty.' She wants me to come down over the week-end." "Believe in being original, don't they?" commented Ted. "I like Eliz abeth; she's a good sport." "A clever little woman, and her hus band's a brilliant fellowalways en joy his stories. Come, Ted, or we'll be late at the office." So saying Mr. Joy, followed by Ted, walked out of the room and out of this story. Mrs. Joy turned to her daughter: "Sally, haven't you and Chet made up that absurd quarreLyet? If you don't look out you'll lose him. And then "Mother," Sally interrupted calmly, looking up from the letter she was still reading. "Chet and I have not quarreled. It's merely a difference of opinion. "Call it what you like." Mrs. Joy persisted, "it amounts to the same thing. When I was young a girl was glad enough to give up her work when she married. You're a mighty lucky girl to get a man with a salary like Chefs." "Mother, it isn't the money but what's the use of arguing? I just can't make vou understand. Listen. Eliz-' abetlrsays that their new home would just' about fit into our living room ana that it has five rooms. She is fur nishing it according to the ideas she absorbed in Greenwich village paint ed furniture, in bright colors. She says it's a dandy bluff to put up when you're broke, to pretend to prefer that sort of thing to solid mahogany. She wants me to come down and help her decide on some of the colors. She asked Chet, too, but he can't get away. So I'll go, mother, if you don t mind. I can't do any more up at Mrs. Bar lows until that cretonne comes." When Sally Joy alighted from the train at Brownsville station it was raining steadily. No one was there to meet her. She ran inside, but the lit tle building was empty. Thru the window she could see a dilapidated buggy standing outside and a Ford, with curtains tightly drawn, came bumping down the road. It stopped with a jerk and a man jumped out. The long, yellow oilskin slicker and slouch hat pulled down would have disguised him from his best friend, but bv a certain indefinable some thing, perhaps his brisk movements, Sally recognised him instantly. Something sang in Sally s nean, "It's Chet! It's Chet:" but she deter minedly squelched that something and presented an unsmiling face to the young man. Chester Radiger seemed oblivious to her coldness. With much gallantry he took her bag, complimented her on her appearance, helped her into the car and kept up a. running fire of con versation during the three-mile drive. He described his sister s house m an amused fashion, commented on its name, and. to Sally's question, "Why Fiftv-fifty 7" answered that he would leave that to Elizabeth to explain. "Of course." thought Sally inward ly, "this is all for the benefit of the jitney man. He's making a show of treating me like any guest of his sis ter. I'll be just as nonchalant about it as he is. When the car stopped and Chet pulled back the curtains Sally beheld a tiny house, hip roofed and shingled, nestling close to the country; road. The Woman Who Loved and Earned A Modern Story or Home and Business By JANE PHELPS GERRY SOLVES HER PROBLEM. CHAPTER 105. Robert seemed quite interested in our history lessons. I couldn't quite make up my mind whether it was real interest in the history, or interest be cause he thought I was interested and, it would help to make me contented. For altho I tried to hide my. restless- ess, he was often conscious of it and worried about it. Had I ever been anything but a business woman, I would have known better how to manage myself in the changed atmosphere, under different conditions. Then, too, had I been any thing but a good business woman, my housekeeping would have taken more of my time, been more of a problem to me. But I applied business prin ciples and coTrimon sense to that, so eliminating a factor that is disturbing to many: but which might have proved a blessing to me, in that it would have kept me occupied. When I hear people say a business woman cannot keep house, cook, and market successfully, I always wonder if she was a good business woman. It seems to me that determination, linked to common sense, and as Mary would say, the ability to read, will make of any business woman a good house keeper. Because I applied business principles to my home was another reason t took so little of my time. I had eys- t tematized everything, had a place and time for all connected with my work. so it left much dragging time on my hands, much time in which to think, and at timesi to regret. Not regret that 1 had given way to make Robert happy, but regret for the old work-filled days, the fee! of velvets and silks, soft ribbons and feathers. had loved my business. Unless over worked, it had always been a delight to me. Robert had been given a raise, and an apology at the same time because the. advance in salary was so slight. But Mr. Bui3?h had explained that u was all his business yet warranted. On the broad veranda stood Elizabeth and her husband, his arm about her shoulders. While Chet was settling with the jitney man his sister drew Sally indoors and up to the guest room, where a, cheerful fir burned on the hearth. "Take off your wet things and get Into a negligee," sh commanded "and let's make ourselves comfy here by the fire. The men of the house will start dinner. I want to talk to you before we go down, so save your ex clamations about the housa and the view vou can't see it. well, anyway, till later. "First. I'll confess that I told you a fib about Chefs not being able to come. Now don't get huffy it's be cause I'm fond pf you and want you for a sister that I'm taking all this trouble just at this time when l;m up to my neck in work. I wasn't 'cam ming' in my letter. We are hard up just now, and besides fixing up this house on next to notning. A m earn ing enough to carry us along for the present, just doing those little water colors." "But I thought Jock began Sally. "Now don't interrupt till I finish." went on her hostess. "Jock has gone stale. You know that often happens to writers. Ever since he had the flu. He hasn't written a word for two months. He'll come back all right here, tho, where he can live the out door life- he loves. We spent alto gether too much money in the eity last winter, too. Well, he said that if I had to rfake the man's place for awhile the only decent thing for him to do was to -0 fifty-fifty on the household work. And he does. That's where, our house gets its name." "I sat Chet down in front of me this morning and I told him all I have told you and some more; now I couldn't have done this if I hadn't kept my hand in and had a market for my stuff. If Jock had been in sistent on my doing nothing outside our home when we had plenty, why A cheerful voice sounded from the fool of the stairs. "Say. the potatoes aro in the oven, the table is set. the meat's cooking and it's cleared off. There's a glorious sunset, girls: come on down on the- porch and view it with us." "Oh, Chet," called back his sister, "come up here a minute." But when he arrived, two steps at a time, she suddenly remembered that Jock was igorant of the mysteries of salad mix ing, and disappeared. "I'm a convert, Sally," frankly con fessed the young man. "Tou may keep up your interior decorating. Only see that you don't earn more -than the old man he'd be jealous."

Giving me a ideer, and I sed, T tell vou lets wats do. wen we get to my "house lets both put the overcoat on at the same time as if we was the Siamese twins.

Well for mersy sake, sed ma. And she started to laff like enything as if it was funny as everything and called pop, saying, Wilyum, come down beer if you wunt a good laff. Never tern down a good laff, thats my motto, sed pop. And he came out and saw his Sprina; overcoat buttoned erround me and Puds and sticking out in different places ware it wasent men to, and he sed.

And he quick took it away frum us and went back in the house, and me and Puds went and got in a game of cops and robbers. altho he knew Robert was worth more. Robert quoted him: "If we can keep on getting new business, as We have this lest month. I shall be able to give you more very soon. But it is owing to you and your wire we have picked up as we have. and I will not stand in your way if you can get more; altho I should feel badly to have you leave." "What did you say?" "Told him I'd stick, of-course The man's white all the way thru. I thought he was small and mean when I first went there, when he was only anxious and worried, I shall do all I can to boost things for another six months. Then if he can't pay more, and I can get it elsewhere, why I probably will make a change. But I am sure he is on the upgrade now. And I have made him spend a good deal, too, you must remember. All these innovations have cost him a lot. and I think cash. I imagine he has strained his credit, and has that to straighten as well as other things." Robert talked everything over with me. It had brought us closer together than any other one thing. We had no secrets now. and discussed ways and means, little economies, together as we never had thought of doing in the old boarding house days. One would think that all these things would have made me happy and contented. But they did not. I had commenced to feel that some thing was inherently wrong with me, that I was hard to please. Tet I knew I wastiot. really. Then one day as I sat by the win dow watching a downpour of rain that had kept me in all day. I recalled that expression of Carson Murphy's: "A traveling artist in hats:" Why not? I immediately got paper and pencil and put down the names of people I knew. It made a fair-sized list, as I skipped no one, not even the hoarding house clientele. When I had finished, I made a few calculations. r "A Traveling Artist in Hats!"

I shav received a letter from a wo man who says: "I am S3 years old. I am well born, well educated, well off finan cially, and good enough looking. I think I am like the woman jn Balzac's story who only needed a kiss and a love letter to make her beautiful. "But I have never had a beau. No man has ever even looked at me a second time. I have never even danced with a man who wasn't old enough to be my father, or young enough to be my kid brother, for I live in a little New England village in which, in my recollection, there has never been a single eligible man in my class of society. As the young men grw up they all go away to seek tneir iortunes. "I frankly want to marry. I a domestic in my tastes and the only career that appeals to me is that of wife and mother and home maker. BUT I AM THIRTY-FIVE YEARS OLD. My hour of grace is almost over. If I don't -marry in the next year or two my fate as an old maid is sealed. It is already signed, sealed and delivered so far as my opportuni ties of marriage in' my home town are concerned. Therefore, as I am strong in the belief that heaven helps those who help themselves I have been thinking of advertising in a matri monial journar for a husband. "What do you think of it? Do you think I will have any chance of estab lishing an acquaintance in that way with some man who might make me a suitable husband I certainly do not. If marriage is a lottery even if entered into by a man and woman who know each other. and had an opportunity to study each other, what sort of a Jong shot at happiness is a woman taking who marries some stranger that she identi fies by his wearing a white carnation in the lapel of his coat? She hasn't got even at hundred to one chance of winning a prize. She doesn't know what sort of a past the man has. She doesn't know whether he has got a dozen other wives that he met in the same in formal way, scattered about the country. She doesn t know what sort of people he springs from, nor what stains are upon the name she is mak ing her own and will give to her chil dren, and anyone who could he guilty of such folly should be locked up somewhere in a padded cell where they will be safe until they come to their senses. There is just one thing that a wo man can be sure of in the husband she gets thru advertising, and that is that he is the sort she doesn t want for no man who hasn't some serious defect of mind or body, or who isn't an out-and-out adventurer needs to get a wife that way. Heaven Jtnows women are not so particular about the kind of husbands they marry, and any man who is halfway decent can pick out some woman he already knows for a wife and lead her to the altar.

Y THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAIWEDNESD AY EVENING, MAY 12, 1920 McFadden's Park at Wakarusa is now open forj the season, and work is out of the question for me. Let Birch do it I am going FISHING today. JONES. Jons A "Rirch Printer; 'I DISPLAY KEEN INTEREST Ad Men's Visit to City Shows Impor tance of Kansas Markets. An attempt to get to the heart of things, to learn at first hand condi tions In the center of the greatest farm market in the wxrld, to get a close-up view of the middle west and to study distribution and marketing facilities was the purpose of the group of ad vertising men from eastern agencies, who were in Topeka, Tuesday as the guests of the Capper Farm Press. Each man was an expert in his par ticular line. Farm markets and all sources of information were the sub jects in which they were chiefly in terested. Practically all known na tionally advertised products are sold n the great Kisas farm market.' The present age is one in which the de mands for products in the rural dis tricts are for the same sort of goods as supplied to city neighbors. All ad vertisers are taking advantage of the rising scale of demand from the agri cultural districts, with the result that market conditions are more carefully investigated than ever before. Upon arriving in Topeka the adver tising men were taken to the Capper building, introduced to department heads and taken on an inspection tour of the publishing jplant. At the luncheon 'held Tuesday noon at the Chocolate Shop, A. McXeal. editor of the Kansas Farmer and Mail and Breese. told of the great Kansas wheat raising district and the large number of.motor cars in the state. He sketched Arthur Capper's beginning in thte publishing business and the building of the Capper Farm Press. Harold Chase, editor of the Daily Cap ital, described the history of the paper and its growth and development. The Kansas farmer demands adver tised and trade-marked goods, accord ing to F. C. Gibbs, of the Gibbs Cloth ing company, who spoke to the visit ing advertising men at a dinner held Tuesday evening at Pelletier's. -Thru actual experience Gibbs showed that advertised and trade-marked goods were held in high esteem by the Kan sas buying public. The farmer of this state has the money to buy the best, J. C. Mohler, secretary of the state board of agri culture, declared. The value of farm products in Kansas last year reached tl, 000, 000,000. The Santa Fe, with its 3,000 miles of railroad, and 20.000 employes in this state, is the best advertiser Kan sas ever had. E. L. Copeland, secretary and treasurer of the Santa Fe, told the visitors. Frank P. MacLennan, owner and publisher of The Topeka State Jour nal, told of the growing importance of advertising agencies as business insti tutions, and expressed a pleasure that the eastern agency men were inspect ing the market conditions of the mid west. H. H. Pugh, of the Beatrice Cream ery company, declared that 90 per cent of the butter sold by the biggest dealer in New York City was Meadow Gold butter made in Topeka. Other local bilhiness men who talked were F. D. Coburn. S E. Cobb. J. F. Jarrell. Charles U -Mitchell, Robert S. Fuller ton. E. H. Crosby, Charles P. Adams, E. I Buck and Otto B. Gufler. The advertising men left for Okla homa Tuesday night. B. F. Baryett. head of the sales and merchandising department of the Capper Farm Press, is in charge of the tour. 3l to tm f TMCATKtS-T ''That's "The WRY If EEL ABOUT IT. Cm jr. A lady whose idea of fashlotiable society was a hectic condition a cross between a Moorish slave market ancl a charity bazaar wrote a story for a ma ga sine. A pro ducer, looking? upon t"e story and finding it good, adapted it to picture purposes and so we have "The Beauty Market. Now you know when you see the word "market" in a title that a fair woman is about to barter her soul for whatever she hapitens to need most. The "Beauty Market" is no exception. Miss Katberlne MncDonald is a lovely and impecunious heroine and is ex cellent In the portrayal of the role. She is beautiful and ex'ieiiBiv looking;-and expressionless in the picture (anybody would feel expressionless with such a role). But it is difficult to conjure up sympathy for a heroine who engages herself to marry an elderly man of wealth, goes to expensive society functions where expensive presents are given and pawns them to purchase gowns, tc, a"d borrows money from a young man. pledging her engagement present to him. She screens well from a standpoint of beauty, but there Is noth ing in tup present picture to indicate that she is a first class screen actress. It is, however, unfair to Judge her by "The Beauty Market" as she baa little or noth ing of consequence to do in it. Careful direction was given the production and a larash expenditure was made for the building of interior settings to depict wealth. With an excellent supporting or ganization, the unconsequentlai story was put over. The finish took on the elements of burlesque. It isn't a bad picture and will hold interest, especially will the gowns of the women and the clothing of the men. am rather sure you will like It and 1 guess that will be about all. N. S. A.
