It is now betievt d that Jaedicke may have been the victim of this system which fceeins to have been in operation since jNucust. 1118. Sums aggregating sev eral hundred thousand dollars now appear to have been lost by persons v. I10 placed entire confidence in the hanker. Much of this money was seemingly not a record account of the bank. Loft Family In Distress. That Jaedicke fled without any con sidcrablo amount of actual cash is an other belief of state officials. He left his family in distress. Mrs. Jaedicke is said to have sold a couple of Shet land ponies and two Collie dogs from JaeiUcke kennel that she micht have money for the immediate needs of her household. H became known in Topeka today that state and federal officials have Intercepted a letter sent by Jaedicke this week to one of his alleged ac complices possibly one of the men responsible tor looting his bank. The letter is a tearful prayer for help. "You have taken my money, my bank and my reputation," the letter is quoted as reading. "For God's don't 0 starve my wife and babies." Then the letter continues with an account of the banker's last hour at home. He speaks of kissing his wife and crooning babies goodby anl flee ing from the community. He asked ne person to wnom tne letter was ad dressed to go to Hanover and give Mrs. Jaedicke $1.000 a mere drop In the bucket of loot from the com munity and to replace a $1,000 ac count of the German Lutheran church which is building a new house of wor ship in the town. This letter may be the link that will connect a gang of shrewd operators who unloaded worthless paper on Jaedicke. It is believed that thou sands of dollars worth of this paper was taken care of personally by Jaedicke until his own fortune tot tered and fell. Then he sought relief thru use of funds entrusted to his care frequently for investments and bond puivhits. s by men and women In the commu nlty. sent $;ioo,oon to C hicago Hank. Ii Is reported that $300,000 from Jaedicke's bank was sent to a bank in Chicago in the last ninety, days. Large drafts were made bv telegraph. Jaedicke was local financial agent for the Western Union Telegraph com pany which accepted his code orders without question. Many of the drafts have been protested and it was re potted today that the wire company siou. Is to lose $30,000 to $40,000. Many stories are coming out of Hanover ns to Jaedicke's manipula tion of funds of the bank and of his friends. Only a few davs ago one cus tomer of the bank is said to have Riven the president $5,000 with which to release two mortgages one for $1.0"0. the other for $4,000.

NEW EQUIPMENT J PLANT Will Give Topeka One of Best Exchanges In West. General Offices Will Remain on Kansas Avenue. Expenditures of $850,000 to $1,000. 000 in Topeka by the Southwestern Bell Telephone company were an nounced today by R. J. Benzel. gen eral manager for Kansas. The first move in the program from a practical ly new 'phone service for Topeka will be construction of a $115,000 addition to the plant building on Jackson street. Then will come entire new plant equipment.. Work on the new building will begin early in July. The new plant building will be 76x110 feet. It will adjoin the pres ent building on Jackson street be tween Eighth and Ninth streets. When the annex is completed the company will have a frontage of 125 feet on Jackson street. The new structure will be fireproof and two stories above basement, the same height as the pres ent three story plant and local office building. Foundations will permit ad dition of three floors to the new struc ture. General offices of the company will be continued in the Central National building for at least two or three years. These offices employ 150 to 200 peo ple and occupy three floors of the building at Seventh and Kansas ave nue. For Local Plant. Benzel stated today that the new building would be completed in less than a year. sThe new building is needed to care "for the increased busi ness of the wire company and tto pro vide space for new equipment. Quar ters ot the plant employes are con gested in the present three-story structure and the additional floor space will care for new business and meet demands for several years. A basement the entire length and width of the new offices will be provided. This will throw the first floor above the curb level and the new building will be the same height as the present structure. Fire proof construction will be used entirely including exterior windows equipped with metal frames and wire glass. All of the inside trim will be of fire proof materials. Ample pro vision will be made for elevators and for future enlargement of the build ing. The heating system will, be of steam vacuum type. The new build ing will also carry provisions for en larged rest rooms and cafeteria. Exterior of the new building will be faced with a combination of several shades of matt brick. The main en trance and trimmings, including the cornice, will be of colored terra cotta. The design of the exterior will be an adaptation of the Italian Renaissance I style. Garden for Employes. A space of 25 feet facing Jackson street and south of the south line of the new building is also owned by the telephone company. This space is to be beautified into a lawn and flower garden for the plant employes. "We have decided," said Manager Benzel, "to erect a new exchange building which will give adequate room to install the new equipment 1 necessary both at this time and to care for the growth of the service dur ing the next several years. The pres ent exchange building will not carry additional stories. For that reason as well as the fact that all of its capacity is exhausted, it Is necessary to con struct a new building and install new equipment. One of Best In Country. When the new building is com pleted and facilities installed, we shall be able to answer all of Topeka's de mands for telephone service. This city will have one of the most up-to-date and best equipped telephone plants in the country. Lack of labor and materials during the war pre vented carrying out these plans soon er. That was a condition which could not be overcome." Installation of new plant equipment will not begin until the new building is completed. A large appropriation for cable extensions and general out side improvements, tho, will be used before the first of next year. Expense of betterments and new equipment will range from $850,000 to $1,000. 000 to be used in the next fiscal year. 4 Rock Island. 111., May 22.

Final details for the special train to the Allen-Gompers debate are being worked out this afternoon by J. H. Lee, president of the Kansas Day club. Practically the entire train is now charted under reservations. Nearly a dozen Kansans telegraphed today for sleeping space on the special, which leaves Topeka at 2:50 Wednesday aft ernoon. It is apparent that every section of the state will be represented on the trip to New York. A number of large wheat growers and business men from western counties are to make the trip, while representatives from the larger towns and industrial districts will tax capacity of the train. Only a few spaces now remain, Lee stated, and these will doubtless be taken by Mon day. Mrs. Minnie J. Grinstead of Lib eral the first woman legislator in Kansas, today wired that she would make th trio. Governor and Mrs. Allen will be with the party during the entire trip.

The train makes the trip from Chicago to New York over the New York Central, the schedule calling for an hour's stop at Niagara Falls. "The very few remaining reserva tions will be taken long before the train starts." Lee said today. "Re mittances for reservations have been sufficient to absolutely assure the train. I shall not be surprised if we are required to ask for extra equip ment." JAIL BRIDE FACES CHARGE. Officers Say She Slipped Saws to Prisoners Who Made Escape. Tulsa, Okla., May 22.

NEW HIKES TO BE BLOCKED BY JUSTICE AGENTS Palmer Plans to Maintain Lower Price Levels. Justice Department Will Pre vent Any Rebound. WAVE NOW SLOWING DOWN Government Takes Stand There Is Much Profiteering. Jump to Former Levels Now Predicted by Experts. Washington, May 22. Attorney General Palmer is directing Justice de partment agents in an investigation of the price cutting wave thruout the country, it was learned today. Palmer hopes to bring the entire influence of the department's ma chinery into the market at the moment when the price-cutting wave begins to wane, to prevent a rebound of prices to former levels. This re bound has been predicted by Dr. Royal Meeker, government economic expert; Bernard Baruch, financial ex pert and others. Is Slowing Down. Reports so far received show no in dication that the price cutting wave has begun to slow down. Slashes of twenty per cent have given way to further cuts of 30 per cent by many clothing and department store dealers. Government officials take the posi tion that the general price cutting is evidence that there has been profit eering. Dealers who show an inclination to increase prices again at the first op portunity will be confronted with this fact. If they persist in raising prices, evidence will be collected for criminal prosecutions. Cattle Prices Are Down. The price cutting wave which ir sweeping the country has nit tne live stock market and prices during tho week ending May 15 were on a down ward trend in several of the leading markets of the country, according to the market report of the department of agriculture, made public today Altho the combined receipt of cat tle at the ten leading markets of the country decreased during the week ended May 15, prices at all the markets except Kansas City showed a. general decrease, the report stated. Hog prices at four leading markets showed a, decrease of from 25 to 75 cents on the 100 pounds during the week ended May 16, the report con tinued, and hog receipts for the ten markets showed a moderate decline. WHEAT CROP FALLS SHORT Be Nearly 200,000,000 Less Tills Year Say! Federal Authorities. Washington, May 22. A winter wheat crop of approximately 500,000, 000 bushels was forecast today by the United States chamber of commerce. "This estimate may vary 100 million 1 bushels either way," said the cham ber s announcement. Last year's winter wheat crop was 731,636,000 bushels, according to re ports of the United States agriculture department. The department's estimate of the 1920 crop is 484.647,000 bushels, based on reports May 1. The short crop estimated for 1920 Is due. the chamber stated, to a scarcity of farm labor and a "natural disincli nation of the farmer to commit his land too largely to a crop whose price he expects to decline when the gov ernment guarantee is removed."

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1920 TO SHOW UP LAV Labor-Going in for Old Politics Game in Kansas. May Result in Change In Pres ent Primary System. TO CONTROL NOMINATIONS Eyery Union Family Urged to Vote in G. O. P. Primary. Will Then Cast Ballot for ."Right" Man in November. BY A. L. SHULTZ. Organized labor Is going in for 4 (im of old school politics in Kansas this year. If its apparent purpose is carried out, some of the forward look ing gentlemen In Republican politics may be disposed to admit that the state-wide primary law needs fixing. Just at this time organized labor with no ihouBhfof voting the Repub lican state and national ticket in No vember is planning to go into the Re publican primary. There Is. of cour 'e. Just one purpose in the labor moire. That is control of the nominations. Propably 75 per cent of organized labor Isn't so much as related to the Republican cause, but that makes no difference. The pri mal y law was enacted with the avowed Intention of letting the "pee-pul" rule. Ko a braad minded, gerterous hearted end self-styled proyrf-ssive legislature fixed the law in such a manner that the "pee-pul" from a minority party might help to nominate candidates of a majority party. Organisation More Solid. I-abor will probably go into the cam paign this year more solidly organ ized than ever before. Hostility to the Industrial court act has inspired the union district managers, vice presi dents, secretaries and walkine- dele gates to action. There are visions of slipping Jobs if the Allen plan for pro tection of the Innocent public against industrial rows should be generally udopted. A vote of a member of the hod car riers' union who whoops it up for the Democrats in lata October and early November kills a vote of a life-long Republican farmer or business man when properly cast in early August. All that is necessary is to call for a Republican ballot on primary day. Then the voter has the opportunity of supporting the candidate who is right" or aiding In the nomination of a weak candidate who might be defented by the opposition party in November. Eyes on 1021 Legislature. Just at this time the leadership In organised labor has its eyes on the JS21 legislature. Its purpose is the repeal of the industrial court act. According to plans outlined in To pel:a this week, every labor union member, as well as member of his family, will be urged to vote tn the Republican primary especially in dis tricts where there are legislative con tests. These same votes will be de llveied, wherever possible, against Governor Allen, head of the Republi can stats ticket. In the November elec tion. Bhnuld Governor Allen be named as the Republican nominee for president or vice president in Chicago next month, an even keener Interest in Re publican, primaries in Kansas would be aroused in labor ranks. The radi cal leadership would then seek the nomination of a candidate favorable to their program. Failing to secure such a nomination, the votes would be delivered in November to the more favorable Democrat. It Is ail an old styis fame of playing both ends to win. To Show t'p Primary System. Pome time in June the Democrats will meet in Topeka to name a hand pleked state ticket. The labor inter ests will send their representatives to th. meeting. They are expected to have a high card In the selection of candidates for state offices and con gressional nominations.

In Congestion Problem Benefits All Concerned. New York, May 2i. -Freight" con ditions thruout the country will be greatly benefited by the interstate commerce commission's control of routing cars, but there will be little immediate effect on the congested condition in eastern freight terminals, according to statements today by rail road officials. The railroad authorities said too many causes other than the car short age were contributing to conditions in the New York district and thruout the East. "The most important thing brought out by the order," Robert Parsons, general monager of the Erie railroad, declared, "is the practicability of the government and the railroads work ing in close co-operation. "The carrying out of the orders will have the effect of moving only essen tial commodities." HANOVER BANK (Continued from Page One. show the smaller mortgage was paid. There is no record as to Jaedicke's use of the $4,000. A Washington countv widow gave Jaedicke j 14,000 for the purchase of some property. Records show Jae dicke bought the property but took, title in his own name. It is not known whether the deed presumed to be somewhere among his papers will show an assignment to the woman. Confidence In Jncdicke. x So great was the public confidence in Jaedicke that he carried in his bank the money of almost every fam ily as well as business house and in stitution in the community. Funds of the German Lutheran church, of which the banker was a member, were also deposited in the bank. It was this fund which Jaedicke in his pa thetic appeal asked to have restored. Bankers thruout the state and in the clearing house centers were will ing to give Jiedicke almost any ac commodation. Because of this un usual credit, his shortages in the com munity are expected to show an enor mous total. In fact the total losses may never be known. The bank did not operate under the state bank guar anty act.. Left With Iiittle Cash. That the banker left home with lit tle readv cash is the belief of exam iners who have checked and re checked the accounts of the bank. The cash account of the bank is but a few hundred dollars short, it is asserted. Many of the Jaedicke drafts have been protested. This situation leads to further belief tnat me nauuvci banker may have been the victim of a gang of shrewd check and draft man ipulators who left bim holding the sack. Again, the drain on the bank may have continued over a period of many months and operations conduct ed in such a manner that Jaedicke could not escape. Several weeks ago Jaedicke bous;..t $35,000 additional life insurance. The policy was sent to him. But the premium has never been paid. Hatless and with two suitcases In his car, Jaedicke drove to Beatrice. Neb., when he closed the doors of his bank last Monday morning. From Beatrice, the banker telephoned to his bank to send for the machine. Then the earth seems to have opened up. No further trace of the missing banker has been found. Special agents for the federal gov ernment, the postal department and detectives for the Western Union will Join with the state banking depart ment in investigation of the case. Walter E. Wilson, state bank commis sioner, will return to Hanover tonight. He will spend Sunday in the little town. Wilson and Jaedicke lived in the same county, Washington. They were boyhood friends. Wilson swore to the complaint for the banker's arrest. JUST LIKE KANSAS Armenians HaTe Just as Few Beds Amour Them. But British Took Ammunition So They Are Helpless?' New York, May 22. There are about as many Bolshevists in Armenia as there are in Kansas, according to Capt. Paxton Hibben, field Artillery Reserve Corps, who has just returned from Transcaucasia, where he was on duty with the American military mis sion. "Ninety per cent of the population of the Republic ef Armenia are small farmers," Capt. HibDen declared. "They have been defending them selves without assistance from any body for the past two years, first against the Turks, then against the Georgians, then against the Tartars of Azerbaidjan. Now the Red Army has invaded Transcaucasia In forca and the Armenian Republic has made peace with it, precisely as Finland and Ksthonia have made peace with Soviet Russia. But it does not mean that Armenia has "given up to the Bolsheviki" or anything like it. "The Armenians-have an army of 20.000 men, armed with old Russian Lebel rifles. But they have no ammu nition with which to fight, as the British during their occupation of Transcaucasia seized all the ammuni tion stored in the Armenian fortress of Kara and the great military store house of Alexandropol, and shipped it to Russia for the use of the Denikin army. "It is now in the hands of the Bol shevists, and the Armenians have no ammunition with which" to defend themselves. Naturally, they have been forced to make peace on the best terms they could get."

Recent Mexican dispatches said the former president showed a dignity and bravery in his final days. He was described as leading his own men with fearless valor in the fighting near Apizaco, Rinconada and San Marcos during his flight from the capital. 'After the final defeat when Car rama and his men were forced to flee into th mountains, reports Indicated he was attempting to make his way toward the coast in the hope of ob taining passage to the United States or some other foreign country. Revolu tionary leaders indicated they would be perfectly willing to see him escape, considering that the simplest way of eliminating him as a factor in Mexican affairs. Bonillas's Fate Uncertain. The fate of Ignacio Bonillas, former ambassador to the United States, will be watched with particular interest by many Americans. He was considered by many a victim of circumstances. Torn fromNhls peaceful surroundings in America, the former ambassador re turned to Mexico last fall to begin his campaign for the presidency. Bonillas was described as without particular personal ambition in enter ing the field for the presidency, and only doing so at the reguest of the Carranza group. The president felt that Mexico should be led by a civilian and picked Bonillas as the man to de feat the two generals. Obregon and Gonzales who were the leading candi dates. Failed to Read Signs. It was this decision which led to Carranza s downfall. Bonillas was greeted as a "made!' candidate and his candidacy regarded a joke. Failing toread the signs of popular opinion, Carranza continued stubr bornly to push Bonillas's cause. The immediate event leading up to the crisis was an attempt, to occupy the state of Sonorawith Carranza troops. Adolfo de La Huerta, the Sonora governor, opposed this action, and the Sonora "secession" followed. Meantime Obregon had been placed tinder nominal arrest in Mexicfc City for alleged plotting with the bandit, Roberto Cejudo. Obregon feared to remain tn the capital. Ho eluded police and fled in an automobile. Gen. Benjamin Hill, an American who had served in the Mexican army and was one of Obregon's leading supporters, accom panied hU chief. Soon after this Obregon's forces Joined him and the man who defeated Francisco Villa came out in open de fiance of the government. Soon after Gen. Gonzales declared against Car ranza and Obregon's and Gonzales's troops entered the capital, proclaim ing the supremacy of the revolution ary movement. Carranza, accompanied by, his fol lowers, fled toward Vera Cruz. The Vera. Cruz garrison, however, went over to the revolution and the first clash between the rival forces occur red south of Apizaco. In this clash the Carranza forces were successful and their trains proceeded to Vera Cruz only to be met by a superior orce. S Five days fighting followed, ending in the complete defeat of the Carran zistas. The deposed president fled In to the mountains where he' was re ported killed. V. S. to "Ask" Obregon. Washington. May 22. Disavowal of the murder of Carranza and punish ment of his slayers may be required of Obregon by the United States before this eountry will consider recognition of the new regime, it was understood here today. Official comment was withheld while the government made inquiries regarding the reported death of the fugitive president. President Wilson refused to recog nize Huerta "with blood on his hands." The Mexican situation today was further complicated by the report for warded to the state department from Chihuahua that Villa has captured George Miller, a British citizen, and is holding him for $50,000 ransom.

a. THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1920 SHOOTING A SWEET STICK

Golf Hooks and Slices, Teed From Around the Sand boxes at the Shawnee and Country Clubs in Topeka. BY JAZZ-BO STANDING OF THE TEAMS. The cessation of the cold spring rain and the permanent residence of the mercury in the 70 block has arous ed Topeka to her golf senses. Altho such veterans as John K. Frost and M. A. Low and Ilif Felix and Frank Grigfrs and Harlow Hurley of the Country Club and Phil Eastman, Jack Crow, Otis Hungate, Dan Studdard and Gene Sallee of the Shawnee club have been out ever since the first Know In November, the season really is not open to the sunburn golfers un til the thermometer warrants a white shirt. With the Country club catering to 200 men and women players and the Shawnee club encouraging a like number It promises to be a busy sum mer of the blue grass sport. The women of the Country club have begun an enthusiastic season. Mrs. Kurti Kellam already has start ed her coat of tan and a most at tractive "V It is to this unusually pretty young society matron. Mrs. Kellam is chairman of the ladies golf events of the Country club this year. Her skillful mauagement and her suc cess as a hostess to the visiting women golfers at the state tourna ment last year has won a permanent place for her in Kansas "petticoat golf." Mrs. Kellam, incidentally, is a rattling good golfer. She is in the "scratch" class at present. Tuesday of each week has been set aside for the ladies of the Country club. In the morning there will be medal play in eighteen holes. In the afternoon the contest will Include ap proaching and putting. Handicaps will be used for the benefit of the less skillful and practical prizes will be of fered by the club. Each month the club will set aside a day for the mixed 2-ball foursome. When the club sets the date for the invitation tournament In September two days probably will be given over to the women. Again the Country club will have an oppor tunity to entertain the women from other clubs over the state. The state tournament for women will be held at Hutchinson this year. The organiza tion was perfected in Topeka last year when Dr. West, president of the Country club, made such a success of the hostess affair. Phil Eastman, president of the Shawnee club, is not satisfied with this honor alone. Yesterday after noon he brassied a 200-yard shot out of a sand pit. The steam roller has been on the Shawnee course this week. As a result the turf on the fairway gives good distance and makes approaching a more ticklish tsk than previously this spring. With the roller out on the fairways, the horse mowers rattling their way ahead and George Stawitz pushing his lawnmower in the "clubhouse yard the course is nerve racking to the finicky player. Mr. Charles M. Sheldon, famous .uthor-lecturer-clergyman and editor, is refreshing his constitution with golf on the Shawnee course. When the doctor deserts his picturesque study beneath the trees on College hill to wander over the Shawnee course it i an indication of the "Call of the Caddy." The amateur record on the Coun try club course is 33 for nine holes made by Arthur Bonebrake, Topeka's former "boy-wonder" golfer. "Boney" now is professional in Salina. Roy Bailey, editor of the Salina Journal, ami one of the most enthusiastic golf- j h, i IT IS A FACT It is a fact that you can't go on and on with an ailment such as piles with out some treatment and ever expect to become well or ever better.

Capitol Building Loan 634 Kansas Ave. ers in the state, wrote to a friend in Topeka the other day: "Bonebrake is coming along In fine shape here. He has a large class of players and is creating great interest in the game. He has had a. little hard luck. tho. The first week he played on the Sa una course he only made a par. Since that time he has equalled the course record. Poor 'Boney' is slipping." Caddymaster Howard of the Coun try club has worked wonders with the boys in his new efficiency and pay-by-the-hour system. Caddying is han dled without confusion and the boys always are available. They are mak ing every effort to serve the players to the best of their ability due to the grading plan on the card reports. Frank W. Griggs, chairman of the golf committee of the Country club, is inaugurating several new plans in the game this year. His up to date score card with full hole handicaps will be ready for use soon. His method of obtaining handicaps un doubtedly will be taken up by the Shawnee club that matches between the two clubs may be made without guess work but on a black and wnne basis. Incidentally, Frank is playing his usual "sweet" game. He'll be in the race for the recovery of his title as state champion this year. Ilif Felix, tournament chairman of the Country club, has issued his 1920 calendar. It is the most complete program of golf ever attempted by the club. Beginning with the "Ringer score" play tomorrow it win oe in continuous session until the "Close Ringer" October 3. Medal play, matcn play, mixed foursomes, flag contests, team matches, club championship and cup play will keep the Country cluV golfers in a long season of competitive ilay- The calendar, to be posiea in mc club house 'soon, follows: May 22 First "ringer score. 1 nis is to be followed by Sunday "ringers" until the end of the season.

Chairman Anderson of the Shaw nee club is planning a city champion ship on the Shawnee course. With ToDeka's 400 or more golfers, this should be a fast affair. The Shawnee nlavers will have an advantage flue to Ithe home course and the knowledge tf the trickery of sand greens but the Country club has state championship tnaterial to offer in the contest. rV,i tr-rr, an Cl-.nrle "Dillon Of the $hawnee club has sent out a series of letters for additional membership. The Shawnees need only a few more iiembers to reach the club limit of 350. The letter is bringing results and bjefore long the lists will be closed. Emmett Rowel, superintendent of the Topeka Railway company, and llbert M. Patten, assistant general npanager of the McKinley lines in Kansas, are new members of the Shawnee club.

Medicine 13 If W the Kain Sunday? It's up to tomorroux xtv to fulfill the old QdQq&S If it rains on 5aster.it will rain on seven Sundays reatter. ii Will Sunday be a rainy day? Following the old adage that if it rains on Kaster day, it will rain on seven Sundays thereafter, it must rain tomorrow to complete the mystic sev en. The gods that stir up the clouds, push the -wind around, and turn loose the rain already have hit six points. To make good the old saying they must "roll" a rainy day tomorrow. It will never be blotted from the memory of Topeka citizens that if it rains or snows on Kaster Sunday, there surely will follow seven other dreary, rainy Sundays provided it rains tomorrow. Years hence, at the approach of Easter Sunday, people will be heard to say, "Back in 1920 there was one of the worst storms of the winter sea son on Easter day. There was a snowfall of seven and one-half Inches, amounting to 1.14 inches of moisture. Weeks of ploomy, wet weather fol lowed and it rained for six consecu tive Sundays." Rainy Sunday Record. The precipitation records from the office of the weather bureau indicate the following for Topeka; Easter Sun day, April 4, 71J inches of snow; April 11, rain, 1.09; April 18, rain, 1.15; April 25, rain. .17; May 2, rain, .09; May 9, trace of rain in afternoon; May 16, sprinkle of rain, ,06. In 1919 there was rain on Easter, April 20. It rained on five of the next seven Sundays. There was no rain on Easter in 1918. 1917 and 1916, It did rain in 1915 but it was followed by rain on only three of the next seven Sundays. Rain did not occur on Easter in 1914, 1913. 1912. 1911. 1910, 1909, 1908 and 1907. The rain on Easter. April 15, 1906, was followed by a prinkle on one of seven Sundays. It did not rain in 1905 or 1904. In 1903, rain on Easter, April 12, was followed by rain on three of t4ie next seven Sun days. There was no record of precipi tation in 1902 or 1901. Twenty-one years ago, in 1900. there was rain on five out of seven Sundays following a rainy Easter. In spite of the belief that will have been inculcated in Topekans this year. the records of facts at the weather bu reau offer no substantiation for the be lief that a rainy Easter will be fol lowed by seven wet Sundays. According to figures compiled by S. r. .Flora, state meteorologist, the rain average jn March is one day in four. The average for April is one day in three. Flora says Easter has about one chance in four of getting rain. Electrical 'Storms in Kansas. Electric storms that kill whole fields of wheat and corn and set miles of barb wire fences blazing with electri cal display are common in dry seasons in western Kansas, according to S. D. Flora, state meteorologist. They come either during, or immediately follow ing a severe dust storm. The dryer the air, the more noticeable is the display. Iron objects not in electrical contact with the earth, will give a shock to a person touching them. Prof. W. A. Douglas Rudge. of Ox ford college, has proved that the elec tricity is carried by dust particles. He ascertained that sandy soil is always charged with positive electricity when dry. During these storms the points on barb wire fences show little points of fire. The tips of the horns of cattle have been seen to give off the electri cal light. The effect is said to be de cidedly weird. CITIZEXSHXP NOT FORFEITED. West Virginia Allows Vote to Tanks Who Helped AUies in the War. Wheeling, W. Va., May 22. The right of an American to vote has not been forfeited if he has sworn allegi ance to a foreign allied nation to aid in the prosecution of war. according to a recent ruling of Attorney General E. T. England, of West Virginia. The ruling was made in the case of Albert Marshall, of Wheeling, who had been denied the right to vote because he enlisted with Canadian troops at the beginning of the world war. How ever, he joined the American army when the first of the. expeditionary forces arrived overseas. SCRIPTURE Psalm 1:1-6 Blessed Is the nan that walketh not in thf counsel of the uneodlY. nor stsndeth lu the way of sinners, nor sitteth In the seat of the scornful. But his delight Is in the law of the Lord: and In bis law doth he meditate day and night. Ana ne snail oe ue a iree pianica uy the rivers of water, that brlngeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever be doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so; bat are like the chnff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in tbe con gregation of the righteous. For the I-ord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMON'S. Ah!

All experience goes to show No mud can soil us but the mud we throw. Lowell. There Is a day coming in which Clod will bring to light every little hidden service of His children, and will let as sembled worlds see the delight He has had in that which has met no eye. but which has gladdened the heart of our Father la heaven.

Many an accident might have been avoided and many a life saved if drivers of automobiles had only exercised ordinary, everyday pre caution and had listened to the warnings which for years have been sounded through the magazines and daily newspapers, viz. "Always put on Weed Tire Chains when the roads and pavements are wet and slippery." It's all very well to say.'Tm sorry I didn't mean to do it.' Regrets don't mend broken limbs or bring back the lives that have been taken. The innocent victims have suffered through no fault of their own while the careless motorist escapes with a reprimand, the payment of Doctor's bills and the expense of having his car repaired. In thm interest of ha inanity in th interest of safe and tan mo toring Pat en your Weed Tiro Chain "at tho first drop of rain, and insist that others do tho tamo. Is there no way to make such fellows realize their responsibility and have more regard for the rights of others? Skidding accidents would never occur if every motorist exercised care in driving and put on Weed Tire Chains whenever roads and pavements were wet and slippery or covered with mud and slime.

Sunflower minstrels, organized by and composed of the members of the drill team of Sunflower Camp No. 688, Modern Woodmen of America, will be a permanent adjunct of the parent camp, and has already given two en tertainments for outside camps, Shaw nee of this city, and Evergreen of Rossville. Dates are being arranged for a visit to Holton, and Dover camp has asked for a show. Without the least effort at the initial appearance of this aggregation of blackface Wood men, Sunflower Camp packed its hall in Odd Fellow temple. The mere an nouncement brought large delegations of Woodmen from neighboring towns, Holton, Meriden. Auburn. Dover, Wat son and other places, and their camps are clamoring for this attraction. The next performance under- the auspices of Shawnee Camp No. 2800, another full house greeted the minstrels. Last Thursday evening, the team "shipped by truck" to Rossville, gave an ex hibition drill on Main street to the music of Kossville"s band, and put on their show in Frita's opera house to standing room only. It was a "free gate," however, and complimentary to their sister camp by Sunflower. In Woodman hall, after the show, a buf fet luncheon was served to the fifty Topekans who went up and the local Woodmen and their families. The officers of the minstrel organ ization are: Ralph C. Lyon, presi dent: Louis R. Vesper, director; Geo. W. Porter, treasurer; O. K. Swayze, secretary; L. N. Clary, team captain. The compliments of Sunflower camp will be extended to several of the camps within driving distance of To peka this" summer, to confer the de gree work, stage exhibition drills, or put on a minstrel show, all or any of these offers having been extended by Sunflower camp. The opinion of those who have witnessed the performance by the minstrel team may be sum marized in a remark by a Rossville authority, who said: "Why don't you thin tpjn in the Chautauqua cir- icuit? We have nothing in our Chau tauqua course to beat it." USED CARS UNDER HAMMER, Two Local Dealers Announced Plan to Create Market Here.

BT HARRT ROOT. There are a good many people living in Oberlin who believe that if Decatur county had voted $2,000 a mile for the Rock Island railroad that great road would have built thru Oberlin, and the town might have been made a division, When this road com menced to build from the Missouri river thru the northern tier of coun ties with a charter naming the county seat towns of the northern tier of counties thru the state, and a short letter from M. A. Low to the Com mercial club offering to build to Ober lin if Decatur county would vote bonds to the extent of $2,000 a mile, the offer was turned down. The town was booming. The orators of the day argued that no railroad manager would build a line thru the county without running thru the "queen city" of the west Oberlin. The road was completed as far west as Norton, then bore off to the southwest, and passing thru the southern part of the county to Colby. Notwithstanding the disap pointment the town has always been a thrifty commercial center, with a rich territory tributary, and is today one of the most beautiful towns of its size in northwest Kansas, with lovely homes, trees, and flowers, an up-to-date opera house, fine schools and churches and a happy, contented popu lation of about 2,000 people, and not a vacant house of any kind. Oberlin fared the same as Concordia. The same proposition was made to her peo ple and rejected. Concordia didn't get the Rock Island, neither did Oberlin. If rumors are well founded Judge R. M. Plckler will again enter the race for judge of the Fifteenth district, which position he filled for more than a quarter of a century and resigned a year ago on account of failing health. Reports from his home town of Smith Center say that he has re gained his old time health and is young enough to try the judgeship again. The district comprises the counties of Jewell, Mitchell, Osborne and Smith. Judge Fickler loves this work, and his friends in the district will be pleased to see him again on the bench. In all the yearshe served the district as judge he wag so satisfactory to all that in several elections the op position didn't put up a candidate against him. One of the northwest Kansas trips worth preserving was that of Capt. J. G. Waters, a Topeka attorney, and your correspondent, whom he chanced to meet in Atwood, where he had been on law matters. He had finished his business, and wanted to return home as quick as possible. So we took the auto route from Atwood to Colby, a distance of 32 miles. It had rained all the night long and was raining when we left Atwood at noon. Going out of town the auto had to climb some hills before it reached the "di vide" and level road- The road had been recentIyworked, and soon our car was in mud huh. deep. And such a time we had trying to get our auto thru the mud and up the hills no Ford car ever before experienced. We got out and climbed back several times, helping to hold the wheels from slipping or pushing it forward. Be fore the car reached to top of the hill a lady passenger was awaiting, the par She was standing in mud nearly up to her shoetops, and wanted to get to Colby in time to see her son graduate that night. Even the woman passen ger had lived on a farm long enough in Rawlins county to know what work was, and she, too, used her strength to help the car out of the mud end keep it from sliding down hill. The wind was blowing furiously, and rain ing hard, and no side eurtains, we passed the time as pleasantly as we could, nor did the woman passenger put in a protest. She was covered with mud and soaked with water, as were the other two passengers and driver. She was thoughtful enough to bring along a grip with a change of apprael. It was a trip that none of us ever before experienced and such a one that noi e of our crowd will ever care to repeat. Captain Waters Is full of good stories, and he kept us all in a laugh from the time we left Atwood until Ve reached Colby, two hours late. It took Waters until train time to dry his clothes and clean them of mud. He did come in mighty handy in helping push our car out of the mud, and keep it from sliding down hill on a muddy road. The rain was beneficial to the farmers of Raw lins county for the crop of wheat COAL DUST LODGED III MINER'S LUNGS Tells how his cough was con quered and health restored. "In November, 191. I was working In a coal mine and the doctors said the coal dust had settled in my lungs. I couldn't lie down on my right side, coughed so I couldn't sleep and had constant pain in my right lung and under my shoulder blades. I coughed so hard the blood would spurt out of my nose. Finally the doctors had me change climate and live outdoors, but didn't improve. "Then I came home and started on Milks Emulsion. Thank God. I did, as it did me a lot of good right from the start, loosening up the coal dust in my right lung. In .a few weeks my lungs were free. I could sleep like a bsby, had an excellent appetite and my cough left me entirely. I gained back 30 pounds in weight and wenl back to work in the mines completely restored to health." G. H.

One of the best known club women in the Sixth district, living in Phillips burg, writes: "You have always been nice to our people, and I thought you might want to give our club women a boost in your item department. We have many fine women in our clubs, and they are doing noble work. The state federation meeting was held at Hays, and this was the first state meeting held in the Sixth district. We were anxious to get the women out to Hays as it is an education for people to come in contact with western Kan sas men and women, they are so free and independent. The meeting was a great "success, the attendance being better than the average. The officers of the Kansas federation women's clubs of the Sixth district are: Mrs. Francis W. Boyd, Phillipsburg. presi dent; Mrs. Andrew Platner, Ellis, vice president; Mrs. C. E. Feeley. Jennings, recording secretary; Mrs. H. L. Hahnenkratt. Phillipsburg, corre sponding secretary; Miss Grace G. Young, Beloit, treasurer; Mrs. Leon ard Womer, Agra, scholarship and loan. A fine dinner was served to the district officers and chairmen of the various standing committees, after which a meeting was held to plan for fall work. Mrs. A. C. Coolldge, Smith Center, is state vice president. Other good workers in the clubs are Mrs. C. B. Walker, Norton: Mrs. J. G. Derigo, Ellis; Mrs. Laura. Kyner, Beloit; Mrs. Eva Morley Murphy, Goodland; Mrs. C. E. Stevens, Osborne; Mrs. James E. Rouse, Hays, and Mrs. Francia Boyd, Phillipsburg. It was largely thru the efforts of Mrs. Rouse, president of the Saturday Afternoon club, and W. A. Lewis, president of the Hays normal, that the meeting was so successful. In the past two years Mrs. Boyd has been district chairman liberty loan, chairman of organization committee, Phillips county Red Cross, speaker for council of defense, county chairman child welfare, chairman for Y. W. C. A. publicity campaign, besides doing much other local club work. The Sixth district annual meeting will be held In Burr Oak the last week in Sep tember. Mrs. Platner and Mrs. Boyd are the delegates to the biennial meet ing in Des Moines in June. It was early In the eighties, your correspondent first visited Sheridan county. Kenneth was the county seat. No railroad and the town of Hoxie wasn't born. The town was named in honor of Kenneth Turner, son of E. J. Turner, who was the first child born there. His ratner was tne urst mem ber of the legislature from Sheridan county. He also represented the Sixth district in congress .two terms, and was beaten for a third term. Kenneth had grown to be thrifty town. The business men of the time were C. M. Higgs and C. H. Leffingwell, general merchants. A. W. Stone, grocer; Geo. Tatum, hardware; O. W. Miller, lumber; J. W. Bundy and T. J. McKinney, hotel; Geo. W. Palmer published the Tribune; B. L. Gregg, blacksmith, W. M. Price and O. Church, contractors and builders. Dr. D. M. Freeman and Dr. Isaac Kneeland administered to the wants of the sick, and E. J. Turner and E. H. iMcCracken had out law signs. The county was organized in July, 1S&D. The town had a comfortable court house, and the following were holding down the offices: Treasurer G. W. Crane; clerk. W. M. Rodgers; sheriff, J. H. Caty; clerk of court, A. W. Stone; register of deeds, A. C. Me Clung; probate judge, S. P. Davidson; commissioners, W. C. Hausafus, M. M. Scott, J. H. Kimball. The Union Pa cific was extending their road from Plainville west, and it would miss Ken neth, so the town of Hoxie started, and the town and county seat records moved to Hoxie. Not a gun was fired and all was harmony, and the first county seat went back to the farm. Hoxie Is the town where Frank Mc Ivor lives, member of the legislature Lfrom Sheridan county. He is a candi date for state senator from the 39th district. He is also one of the deputy state fire marshals. .Sheridan county has a new modern fireproof court house. Hoxie has several substantial business firms, and a lot of pushers for the town's good. The Smith Center Journal and Rus sell Reformer are exchanging owner ship. J. W. Morphy of the former, will go to Russell, and Tell Peterson of the latter paper, will go to the Jour nal. They are practical newspaper men, and for years have published clean, newsy journals. Looks as if there is going to be a lively race for legislative honors in Cheyenne county. Two names, E. E. Kite, lawyer, and Chase Day, a prac tical newspaper man, are most talked of. The former is a Democrat, and the other Republican. Ed Uplinger, Democrat, is now serving a third term. He is a candidate for the senate in the Thirty-ninth district, and so far he has no opposition in his psrty. The Republicans have several candidates already. Sherman, Sheridan. Thomas and Ellis counties having filed nomi nation papers. Some of the other counties expect to bring out candi dates. Lemon extract is getting to be an unpopular beverage in St. Francis. Two of her citizens were recently fined $100 and costs for the sale of the fluid. Justice a H. Wills will not stand for this kind of work. Must be a good many want political office in Phillips county. In rhe News and Post printed in Phillipsburg there is a column of announcements in both papers of good and tried Re publicans and Democrats who wsnt political lightning to hit them. It is a good thing for the papers, as they cost $10 each. Since January 1, 1819, new banks have been organized in the Sixth dis trict in the following towns: Long Is land, Brewster, Bird City, Wheeler, Selden, McDonald, Jennings, Ludell, Black Wolf, Oberlin, Beardsley and Russell. The first, eight named are doing business under the names of Farmers' State and the balance as State banks. There wasn't a lack of bachelors as early as July, 1S80, in Oberlin and im mediate vicinity. Twenty-three of them gave a picnic to their friends in that month and 'year, at which a fair sised crowd of th. more lucky ones were present, and a fine luncheon was eerved. Several years ago when drilling for oil and gaa near Lincoln a salt vein was penetrated at a depth of about 00 feet, claimed to be ISO feet thick. This same vein of salt was discovered at Vesper, about ten miles west of Lincoln, while prospecting for gas near that town. These facts have just been printed on account of th. discovery of a 100 foot vein of salt near Brook ville, on the line of the Union Pacific road west of Salina, and the talk of a company being organized to de velop it.

Without An Operation Wonderful Healing of Rupture How a New Jersey Man Got Rid of a Severe, Obstinate, Right Inguinal Hernia Without the Slightest Trouble. Below is a picture of Eugene M. Pullen, a well-known carpenter of Manasquan. New Jersey. If you could see him at his work, particularly when he handles heavy timber. Jumps and climbs around like a youth, you would scarcely Imagine that he had formerly been afflicted with a rupture. Ruptured tn Right Side. At an early age, Eugene Pullen was an express driver. He handled rail road baggage. One day after deliver ing a heavy trunk on an upper floor he felt a pain in the right groin. The suffering increased and it was not long before the young man noticed the swelling. The doctor told young Pullen that he was ruptured snd that he must either wear a truss throughout life or submit to a drastic operation. All sur geons know that hernia operations, with anaesthetics, etc., are dangerous; they may end fatally. Moreover, it is a well established fact that many rup ture operations are not successful; the bowel soon breaks through she sewed up opening and protrudes worse than ever. Afraid of Operation. Like most others, Mr. Pullen de clined to take the risks of an opera tion; the expense and loss of time had to be considered, too. Hoping he might get a little better encourage ment, he went to another physician who, to his sorrow, gave him even less hope. It was pointed out to the young man that unless the rupture were per fectly held all the time or the sur geon's knife successfully used, he might expect an increase or doubling in the rupture with further complica tions, or the dreaded strangulated hernia which kills so many ruptured people. Victim of Trusses. The victim bought a truss, a hard, spring-like affair, the best he could get. It tortured him. He tried an other still no relief. He was com pelled to give up his express business. The hard tasks of ordinary men were forbidden him. He became an insur ance agent, in which position he did not need to do bodily work. For six years Mr. Pullen dragged around, using various trusses, hard, elastic, etc., with never any content ment. One day his mother told him something she had just found out. It was a simple and easy thing for him to do. He lost no time. Discarded His Trass. Relief came at once, he almost for got that he had any rupture. After ward came a cure a complete healing and, although ye;irs have passed and Mr. Pullen is an energetic carpenter, working on buildings, climbing over roofs, lifting lumber and such like, he is absolutely free from the old hernia. He knows he is completely, lastingly cured. There was no operation, no lost time, no trouble comfort and contentment from the very outset. He is a strong, cheerful-minded man. Valorble Information Free. The valuable Information which Mrs. Pullen read in a newspaper many years ago and gave to her son, togeth er with further Important facts, will be sent free to any reader of this who writes to Eugene M. Pullen, 105F Msrcellus avenue, Manasquan. N. J., enclosing a stamp for reply. Mention the kind of rupture you have, whether on right or. left side and what you have already done in your effort to cure it. A legion of cases of all kinds of rupture in men and women, includ ing inguinal groin), femoral, navel, scrotal, etc.. have been reported com pletely healed. Age seems to make no, difference.

Nelson as a butter maker, are "Exhibit A" in the office of the Bea trice creamery. In the room where Otto works are the huge "vats" or ripeners (which re- Interior of Beatrice Creamery Company's plant showing one of the big churns. butter chlefsvoice, which may have contributed to the golden, smooth quality of the yellow food, the com panion of the staff of life. His voice is "heard around the world" because "Meadow Gold" is known everywhere. He smiles and sings at his work does the modern butter maker, who is a vastlydifferent person from the chief of the churn of other times who was apt to be the farm boy who scowled instead of sang because he had to be bored with churning when his mind probably was "down around the river." Why ShouMn't He Smile? But why shouldn't tha modern but ter maker smile? With much less ef fort he turns out hundreds even thousands of pounds of butter more than the "churner" of other days could accomplish in a week or probably a dozen weeks. The voice of the happy chief of the butter department of the creamery la heard not only in the buttery regions but In also a place where butter Is not seen, served or probably ever spoken of in the choir of one of the largest churches of the city. The maker of prise winning butter is known as "Otto" to the entire working force of the creamery, but officially he is N. O. Nelson. He has been with the Bea trice creamery of Topeka for fourteen years, but must have joined the com pany at an early age, for altho he is a large man-size person for whom the 200-pound mark on the scale would be too lipht. his youthful appearance and FRANK R.

PLAY BATHE SWIM semble immense high-heeled bathtubs) which receive the butter cream after it has been pasteurizer. Otto is careful that the cream be ripened to the cor rect temperature while he sings grand opera selections and skilfully uses his thermometer. From the ripenera the cream goes Into the enormous churns, which are not the least bit like the original churn. The modern oreamery churns are tank-like affairs about ten feet long and several feet in diameter, arranged horizontally with two large openings in the side-tops for removing the churned butter. There are ten such churns in tha Beatrice creamery. About aa interesting and valuable as a (old mine is the 800-pound mound of butter one churn is able to turn out in less than an hour. The high mound of golden yellow is beau tiful to look upon and -a child might have a fascinating time making a but ter castle of it while more practical spectators consider the value of the sight and would not object to captur ing as much as they could carry for tha family larder for butter scotch pi joys perhaps or the rare pleasure of "spreading it on an inch thick." After the butter leaves the churns, it passes into the hands of deft and swift workers, both girls and men. The men. using the "pinch block," an accurate pound measure, mould the Butter into the oblong shapes, while the girls wrap it in paraffin paper. "Don't you get tired of looking at butter?" was asked of one of the girl workers, who faces the butter moun tain all day long. KnowsIt Is Clean Now. "Well, yes, a little." she said. "Somehow when I see butter on the table at home I don't care to have any of it." "Maybe you feel that way about butter, but I don't." chimed in a man who works with the pinch block all day. "I've eaten more butter since I've been here than I did before be cause before I wondered-sometimes if it was clean stuff and now I know it is clean I like it better'n ever." Strange to say, there are more than a hundred men who are employed at tha creamery, and only about fifty girls, showing that the care of milk and butter is not wholly woman's work as might be supposed. The most wonderful scenery of the butter factory, however, is the butter wrapping machine. One end of the machine receives a piece of flat, queerly cut pasteboard. It passes down a little chute in the machine, whefe by several mechanical jabs and punches it is folded into a box for the butter, which, freshly wrapped in paraffin paper. Is placed in the boxes. An un canny little mechanical arm in the machine folds down the top of the butter box and it slips into another cog of machinery, where it is envel oped in the brilliant yellow "Meadow Gold" cover, and two industrious little mechanical arms on opposite sides of the machine paste the familiar red la bels on the end of the package and behold! the finished product is ready for consumption. Thru this intricate process there coma an average of 36,000 pounds of butter in eight hours, to which 15.000 Kansas farmers contribute by snip ping butter cream to be poured into the "vats." I Working at the creamery .has its so-! cial pleasures, for dancing, picnicking and banqueting are all on the year's calendar for employes at the expense of the "firm." And it is understood that financial returt from the work are not to be scorned for the endur ance and skill of the butter workers are recognized by pay that is larger than that offered in working places where desks are mahogany and where hhera is no suggestion of anything eo Hudson is Best Known For Its Super-Six Motor Official Proofs Established Its Supremacy; Thus Hudson Became the Largest Selling Fine Car Few of the 90,000 Super-Six owners have ever tried the limit of Hudson speed or power. They realize they have a vast reservoir of ability that is never called on. Yet no one mistakes it for mere idle surplus simply because it is beyond his ordinary re quirements. For that latent capacity is Hudson's greatest value. It is the life of a car. Because of it, thousands are now getting the fullest satisfac tion and service from Super-Sixes nearly five years old. They know the durability it gives. They know what it means in smooth operation. Their cars have required neither costly re placements nor constant attention to minor disorders. Moreoyer, it is good to know that you have at instant call greater speed, acceleration and hill-climbing ability than any other stock car has ever shown. 80 More Efficient Within 10 of Perfect Many have called the Super-Six "the per fect motor." That, of course, is not accurate. Perfection would mean utter freedom from friction and vibration. No machine can ever be that. But the Super-Six comes within 107 of it. Could another type approach that close Hudson's records might be matched. But for nearly five years they have stood. None has equalled them. The possibility of their being rivalled seemed never more remote than now. Certainly the type to do it has not yet appeared. And mark this important fact. Hudson's supremacy means no added complications, weight or size. The patented Super-Six prin ciple applied to a standard type of motor dded 72 to power. Motor efficiency i3 in creased 80. Endurance thus has been in creased to limits yet unknown. Note 'These Tests Made to Prove Its Endurance Think that a Super-Six stock chassis set the speed record at the rate of 102.53 miles per hour. A stock Super-Six holds the accelera tion record. And Hudson made the fastest time for the famous Pike's Peak hill climb. The Super-Six principle in speedway-racing won more points than any racing team ever took, in a single year. And think of Hudson's double trans-continental run of 7,000 m iles in 10 days 21 hours. No other car ever ed jailed its time in either direction. j Those tests seak for Hudson endurance the real reason for its appeal to you today. There can be no question regarding its beauty, its completeness, its fineness advantages patent to any observer. You will best assure delivery when you want it by speaking for your Hudson now.

People get sick because they go away from Nature, and the only way to get well is to go back. Something grows out of the ground in the form of regetation to cure almost erery ill. Some of these egetable growths are understood by man, and some are not. Animals, it would seem, know what to do when they are sick better than men and women. Obserrers have noted that a sick horse, dog or cat will stop eating food and seek out some vegetable growth in the field or yard, which, when found and eaten, often restores appetite and health. Haven't you seen these animals do this very thing yourself? Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., long since found herbs and roots provided Sy Nature to overcome constipation, and of these he selected Mayapple leaves of Aloe, root of Jalap, and from them made little white sugar-coated pills, that he called Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. You must understand that when your intestines are stopped up, poisons and decayed matter are im prisoned in our system and these are carried by the blood through your body. Thus does your head ache, you get diny, you can't sleep, your skin may break out, your appetite declines you get tired and despondent. As a matter of fact, you may get sick all over. Don't you see how useless all this suffer ing is? All that is often needed is a dose of castor oil, or something which is more pleasant, a few of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, which he has placed in all drug stores for your convenience and health. Try them by all means. They are proba bly the very thing you need, right now. For Quick Returns Try a Journal Want Ad. ON DESERT ISLE Doctor Sheldon Paints Interest ing Allen-Howat Picture. Says "Enemies" Would Get To gether in Such Situation. GIVES KANSAS COURT BOOST Best Labor Solution, He Says in Coining Article. Entitled "What Would Jesus Do in Industrial World 1" P MEN who are bitter enemies should be ship wrecked, two by two, on desert is lands and forced to work together -for their primitive needs, they would find that they -do not disagree so rad ically after all," is a theory expressed by Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, editor of the Christian Herald, in the course of a discussion of the relations between Governor Allen and Alexander Howat. Altho the theory was not suggested as particularly applicable to the gov ernor and the mine union head, the mentat vision of the two. made com rades by shipwreck, tramping a desert island in search of food, clothing and shelter, was entertaining. "Jesus in Industrial World." Doctor Sheldon is writing an article for the Christian Herald, entitled, "What Would Jesus Do in the Indus trial World?" in which the principal subject matter is the situation in the Kansas coal fields, used aa a fair example- of the industrial war fare so common these days In the United States.

ALL CONCESSIONS WILL BE OPEN MARSHALL'S BAND WILL GIVE FIRST CITY CONCERT THURSDAY AT THE GRAND OPENING COME OVER AND HAVE A GOOD TIME cently paid a visit to the Kansas Coal district and interviewed Howat. His personal impression of the "czar" of the mine unions includes much that is favorable. "I have never had more courteous treatment than that which I received from Howat," Doctor Sheldon aaid. "I did not observe him to have the belligerent attitude he might be ex pected to have from press acounts. "Howat is an exceptionally fine ap pearing, intelligent looking man one who would attract Interest even If he were not such a prominent person. He is tall and powerfully built, with strong features full of character and expression." Tolls of' His Visit. "I visited him in his office a small, plain room downtown in Pittsburg. There were several miners in the room at the time. It was then that I asked him to consider what Jesus Christ would do if He were settling the con troversy," said Doctor Sheldon. 'About the first thing He would do would be to clean out the state house," Howat instantly replied. "I suggested that fighting and hatred were not helping in the matter and that love would be a much more powerful method of settling the dis pute, and Howat's quick wit brought fnrth this reDlv: "You think 1 snouia love governor Allen. Suppose you go back to 10 peka and tell Governor Allen to love me. To Urge Kansas court.. The industrial court plan will he set forth by Doctor Sheldon for the Chris- ian Herald, as the best solution ever offered for the difficulties between labor and caDital. For the first time, Doctor Sheldon points out, a lair watre" has been defined, with the de cision of the court that such a wage means not only sufficient money for the orovision of food, clothing and healthy conditions, but also for the m tellectual and moral advancement of employes. ODerators themselves aamn tnai they have failed to consider tne numan side of the miner," Doctor Sheldon said. "I asked an operator with large holdings if he had. for the past twenty- five years, treated his miners as human beings, with their welfare at Heart, would the long coal strike have ever happened. "No; it would n t have, he ad mitted. Soon the miners will learn that the court of industrial relations termed the court of the penniless man,' by Judge Huggins is their friend, and U will be a happy solution of the prob lem," Doctor Sheldon said. Public Schools Helping. The public school, aecordins to Doc tor Sheldon, is the bright spot of the mining district and a great factor In Americanization of the foreign born workers. There the little Sicilians, Poles, Slavs, Austrians and Germans are absorbing American ideas and ideals so rapidly that the next genera' t.ion will be fully Americanized, Doo tor Sheldon declared.

Delegations from 609 veterans of Paris Post No. 1 of the American Le gion will visit every American ceme tery May 31. Each delegation will place wreaths on every American grave and conduct appropriate mem orial ceremonies. The Red Cross will furnish automobiles in which the dele gates will travel to the burial grounds. It is planned to request the Amerl can Army of Occupation on the Rhin to furnish buglers who will blow "taps" over the graves of the fallen at the close of each ceremony. At the suggestion of M. Andre Tardieu, min ister for the devastated regions of France, French veteran societies will be invited to attend the ceremonies. On the same day, a delegation from Paris Post No. 1 will visit a French cemetery, to be indicated by the French authorities, and, in token of America's sympathy for the dead of her great ally, will conduct ceremonies similar to those planned for the Amer ican burial grounds. The American Leeion memorial tributes will immediately follow th placing of thousands of American flags, one to each grave, on the tombs of the fallen. These flags are being sent by the War department, and wi be distributed by officials of the V. S. Graves Registration Service in France.

MADE MONEY OFF MOTHER Boy W1k Answered riione at So Much a Call, Had a Real Friend. Answering the telephone for mother on Saturday when mother had a head ache and didn't want to be disturbed, proved most profitable for a Topeka west side "sonny," age eight. Mother had offered "sonny" ten cents for each telephone call he an- swered and for each time he answered the door bell while she tried to get rid of her headache. "Sonny" wanted to go out to play most desperately but he agreed to spend -the afternoon in the house. "Mother, the grocer wants to know if you want anything"," called sonny pretty soon after mother had retired, thus scoring the first dime. "No you have the wrong number," mother heard "sonny" say Just after the telephone rang again and sonny scored the second dime. Twice more tnat afternoon the telephone rang and altho mother thought four telephone calls were more than she had exDect- ed, she settled with sonny for forty ceiiuf. "Sonny's" pal next door, a boy Just his own age, treated his mother, father and baby sistea to ice cream cones late that afternoon. He was asked just where he got the money for the royai treat. He squirmed a little but finally made this confession: "I got it 'cause I called up Bobby four times. His mother said she'd give him 16 cents every time he an swered the 'phone for her while she was gettin' well of her headache. He gave me half ef all the money his mother paid him. I played the groceryman one time -'n pr'tended I got the wrong number 'nother time, 'n the wrong name 'nother time 'n asked for his mother 'nother time 'n he told rae she was sick 'n couldn't talk."

'WARE NEW BATHING SUIT London Styles Promise Beaches This Summer Will Be Just One Gasp After Another. London, May 32. Life on England's sandy shores this summer promises to be just one gasp after another. Bathing costumes unbelievable are beginning ta glare upon a startled public from the ''exclusive" store windows. A recent exhibition of women's wear included a collection of weird and wonderful creations for the modern mermaid. Futurists are catered to by costumes slashed helter-skelter with streaks of crazy color rioting regardless of blend or design. One costume Is of bright Jade green, with a green-eyed black snake coiling round the bather's form. Another is designed to resemble some sort of sea beetle, being ciose-fitting from top to toe and covered with sapphire-blue and deep-green sequins. Yet another aspires to make Its wearer look like- Joan of Arc or maybe a really, truly mermaid for its silver sequins are a cross between a suit of armor and a herring's skin. It is expected that when the sum mer sylph makes her dive into the blue and briney, her bedazzled swain will catch his breath, she will catch his fancy, and the matrimonial net will catch- them both. Anvwav. this summer Is bound to place Innumerable bachelors out of the way of taxation. REPEAT OX BREAD CARDS. Vienna Dead Not Reported So Living Can Get More Food. Vienna. May 22.

A little dear's too dear. New York, May 22. With offspring clinging to my hand I started out to- day to get her all accoutred for the coming summer day. Her little heart j was full of joy for every woman knows they thrill at even seven years when they are buying clothes. We hied us to the barber first for hair must be Lobbed so, or-else the! .fetching new straw hat won't look just j right, you know. Just fifty cents and ten cents tip that hair cut cost. A quarter or fifteen cents when I was young would cut my hair much j shorter. We looked at hats then looked as- kance for eighteen fifty .er was what a simple leghorn cost. I made 'a sad demur. A broad brimmed Milan ailor hat, 'twas plain but very nifty, the sales girl said a bargain was at only sixteen fifty. We finally chose a beige hued enquite chic for maids of seven. Because Tt wasn't quite so fine a straw 'twas but eleven. Then to the frocks we quickly hied and darlings we espied that each turn ed out a little cear. Their prices hor rified. One tiny frock of taffeta hand worked in colored silk looked for a little princess fit but no one of that Ilk could e'er afford Its ghastly price of dollars forty-five. I'm sure some laundress lady's child will wear it out to drive. Some frilly frocks of organdie at twenty-five were cheap at least that's what the salesgirl said. We didn't even peep. The cheapest gingham frocks were eight, the better ones were ten, of closer weave and "chicer" cut we didn't get one then but chose a simple chambry one of color yellow bright. It only cost a paltry nine but still it looked allright. A silken coat at fifty-four we hur ried gasping by. A small child's pride must keep her warm when prices are so high. A pair of patent leather pumps five dollars set us back and tan play shoes at seven more hit our poor purse a whack. Some English socks were ninety cents a measly little pair. No wonder fathers live to curse the -day they had an heir. W finished off with cotton gloves, nbt very chic 'tis true. They cost a dollar and a half wjiile kid cost more than two. With offspring clinging to my hand I started home today. My child has hat, dress, gloves and shoes but ere the firet, I'll say we'll have to sell the family booze the awful bills to pay or else perhaps we'll have to make a hasty getaway.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1920 IS ONLY SOLUTION Water Expert Says City Needs Filtration Plant. Well Supply Will Not Last, Fnmp Agent Admits. HOLD OUT ONLY TWO YEARS A. W. McLean Says Under J ground Flow Insufficient. Filtration Would Eliminate Rusting of Water Mains. "A well water supply will not last. What Topeka needs is a filtration sys tem." A. W. McLean of the American Well Works. Aurora. 111., declared to day, after finishing his survey of the local situation Friday afternoon. In spite of the fact that McLean's company Installs wells only, he frank ly declared the underground flow in Topeka is sufficient for only about two years, and that even before that time the water would become seriously con taminated when the city begins to draw the present demand of 6.000,000 gallons a day from the ground. Representatives from various local civic clubs and three city commission ers will leave Monday night for a tour of the eastern half of the state, inves tigating water supplies in other cities. They will go first to Kmporia, then to Lawrence. Kansas City and Leaven worth. Mayor H. J. Corwine has al ready inspected two filtration systems on his own Initiative. Another Crisis In Two Years. McLean said that if the well system Is Installed, the city will find itself In an emergency similar to the present crtwfs within two years. With the de mand in a city of this size, he said, and the contamination that will result, a well system cannot endure. On the ther hand, there are filtration sys- ems in the state which nave been in peration twenty years and are still In irst class condition. Because the river water is exposed the air, it does not carry such a arge per cent of iron as well water. lkall has rusted out many of the city nains. This mineral is practically ab- ent in filtered water. There is no ater, no matter how seriously con- aminated or infected with bacteria, Hlf.h ronimf Vi mflHa nVtsnllltelv mire my filtration, it is declared. State records during the last twenty years show the well water in Topeka to be increasing: steadily in iron per centage. HIGHLAND PARK Note ad peraonnls from Highland Turk, by Miss Frances Jones.

Highway contracts were confronted with ahanlntA shutdowns todav as a result of the car shortage. The ce ment supply will be exhausted in ten days, according to a warning by W. T. Watson, state highway engineer. A daily shortage of 4,400 barrels of ce ment and 52,000 brick now exists un der delivery conditions. Watson estimates a need of 600,000 barrels of cement for the state road program this year. An additional 15,550,000 brick are needed. A total of 240 miles of highways are now under contract. Of these 207 miles are for hard surfacing of some type, the majority of mileage calling for brick and concrete. Supplies of stone come largely from the Columbus Joplin zinc district and the car short age affects movement of this material. In a statement of conditions today, Watson said: "Th mud building oroerara for this I season will require approximately 60O.01K) barrels or cement, ui ims aniouui mt is already stored on work under, way ap proximately 47,000 barrels. The contracts in the state are receiving approximately 1.000 barrels per day, while the construc tion requires approximately 5.400 barrels. This leares a deficit of 4,400 barrels of ce ment per day, which must be taken from the storage now on band and indicates that the cement supply on an average will be exhausted in ten days. Fifteen and one half million brick will be required for this year's construction; 1158.000 are received on the work, 32,000 are being received dally, while 84,000 brick are needed each day to carry on the work to full capacity, show ing a deficit of 82,000 brick per day needed to keep the work going. This indicates less than 25 days' supply on hand. "The stone required to be shipped for road construction during the present sea son amounts to 100.000 yards. There is stored on the work 12.102 yards, and there Is being received 300 yards per day while the requirement is approximately 1.000 yards per day to keep the work operating at capacity, leaving a deficit of 1,300 yards daily which must come from the storage, or approximately a ten days' surplus on hand. The sand required in concrete con struction this season Is estimated at 175. 000 cubic yards that must be shipped by rail. Of this amount 7.000 cubic yards are stored on the work, 360 cubic yards are being received daily while approximately 9S5 cubic yards are needed each day, or a deficit of 025 cubic yards daily which will exhaust the storage supply in ten days. "The contracts awarded and under way represent $7,000,000 worth of work. The expenditure of vast sums of money by the contractor for equipment must He idle unless the situation is relieved. The over head expense entailed by the contractor is necessarily going to affect the future price of roads as a contractor, in order to con tinue in business must make a reasonable profit on an average thruout the different years and what he loses on this year's construction must necessarily be made up in some succeeding year."

Judge James A. McClura today over ruled a motion by attorneys for John Moss, St. Marys real estate man, for a judgment in their favor on the grounds that the seduction suit brought against Moss by Oliver Kes sler, Belvue. in behalf of his daughter was filed too late for the alleged seduction to come under the statute of limitations. He also overruled a motion for a new trial. While the first act of seduction charged against Moss occurred more than two years prior to the bringing of the suit, the last act charged came within the statutes of limitations. In a lengthy trial held In Judge Mc Clure' s court in the winter-a jury rendered a Judgment of $3,000 against Moss. Kessler, who brought the suit for his daughter, Isabel, asked for a (10.000 judgment.

In the testimony at the trial it was never revealed that Moss made any promise to marry his cousin. Isabel Kessler, who claims Moss is the father of a child born to her. Judge McClure held that there was sufficient evidence of seduction at the trial to warrant him in overruling the motion for a new trial. John J. Schenck, who with Robert Stone, defended Moss, stated today that the case would be appealed to the state supreme court. HOLD ANNUAL MEETING.

DOTTY clapped herhandsand laughed In flee as the saw Happy Giggles, her little elfin friend from Make believe Land, running- across the meadow to meet her. "Oh, Happy Giggles!" cried Dotty shaking the little elfin's hand. "I'm cer tainly glad you've come! Look at this lovely meadow. Just covered with golden dandelions. 'Why. last evening whea l went home from school there wasn't a fellow head In sight, and now look at them! Where did they come from any way?" j "Well," laughed Happy Giggles, twirl ing hla feathered cap on his oncer. "I'm not so sure I know myself. You know there are a great many things we fairy folks know nothing about. Of course, I can guess, but the surest would be to ask one of the wearers of the golden eaps; they could probably tell us." Happ giggles twirled his feathered fiat once more, gave three soft whistles, and every dandelion blossom in- that meadow nodded Its pretty golden head at Dotty. "Why! They do look like golden eaps. don't they. Happy Giggles?" laughed Dotty. "Good-morning, pretty blossoms! Whore did you find such beautiful golden cap?" It Happened This Way." "That's a secret, my dear," Whispered the dandelion nearest Dotty. "But we don't mind telling you If you don't trample us beneath your feet." "Trample you!" exclaimed Dotty. "Why, I love every yellow head In this meadow! But where In the world did you find your golden caps?" "Hush!" whispered the dandelion blossom looking first to one side then to the other to make sure the other flowers of the meadow couldnt hear her. "It happened this way: "When the world waa very, very young w daaxlelion children all wore green caps. And as the world grew older and every season orougnt more and more people Into our meadowl&nds they sim ply trampled us beneath their feet They coumn t tell our blossoms from the meadow grasses, you know. So one day aner several or us nad a hard time straightening up our stems after We had been stepped on, old Mr. Sunman, who uvea m tne aun, heard our lamentations. and finding out the cause, promised to help us. We wondered all night long Just how he was going to go about it. "The next morning when we awakened Mr. Sunman was right there in the meadow with his paint and brushes, and before we knew what he was about he had dipped every one of Our green caps Into his bucket of magio paint and when we hung them up to dry they turned Into caps of shining gold. That's where we got our beautiful caps. "Ever since then we have been wear ing them. Most folks who spy us try rot to step on us. You see, when our caps were green they couldn't see us." "And how much prettier you are with golden caps than with green ones," laughed Dotty. "Dear old Mr. Sunman. we certainly thank you."

Sunday's astrological chart IS not very Important one, although It la kindly and Interesting under the lunar aspects to Jupiter and Neptune. These favor spiritual and ecclesiastical mat ters, bringing prosperous conditions to U phases of church work and chari ties. Those whose birthday It is may expect a somewhat quiet year. A child born en this day will not have a very avent fuf career, though It will prosper. Monday, while having th indications st an active day, cannot be said to hold itiuch of promise with the luminaries as 11 aa Venus and- Mercury under wquare transit of the Moon. This la a combined influence to upset, annoy and etroumvant, even though It should not hold a more menacing power. Letters and contracts should be carefully han dled, poeitions should ba safeguarded, and all affairs ooming under the rule of Venus should be earafully managed with tact and discretion. Those whose birthday it Is should keep all affairs well in hand. A child born on this day will be unsettled, and should ba trained In self-control. 1 la. U 1 -TV llf HOLDING A HUSBAND Adele Garrison's New Phage of Revelations v of q Wife It Allen Drake Striving to Impress Madge? followed Lillian Into her living room, across Its crimson and white beauty to the door of the hall. and stood waiting for Allen Drake to descend the stairs, I felt myself to be that delight of the old romantic writers, a "prey to conflicting emotions." I cer tainly had a number of distinct thoughts upon the subject of the man who ap 1'eared at the head of the stair, and they were ali warring with fiach other. There Is no man, evfti Dicky, whose mentality so appeals to me as does that of Alien Drake. I do not mean that his mind Is superior to my husband's. It is almuly that etch man has his own pow ers, entirely different from the other. Allen Drake could no more execute one of Dicky's drawings than Dicky could solve the least of the problems that daily confront the brilliant secret agent of the diplomatio service. Truly Fascinating. And I with a vacuum In the chamber of my brain where artiatie skill should have Its habitation I fear that if I were absolutely free to choose an evening's conversation, and my decision was un tinged by my love for Dicky, my almost dislike for Mr. Drake, I should choose a dlbcussion of problems and clues with the agent rather than the .most Illumi native discourse upon art with Dicky, Lillian or even that master of hi oraft, Robert Savarin. For to ma there Is nothing SO fascinat ing as the ferreting out of a mystery that eludes one. I think it Is one of the reasons for ray almost inordinate ad miration of Lillian. I love her for her royal goodness and the charm of her personality, but the quality my brain admires in hers, knows it Is hopeless to equal it, is the almost uncanny power she has of 'going straight to the cen tre of a baffling problem and wresting victory from It. And the man descending the stairs had powers of Induction and deduction and to quote Lillian "reduction, the most Important of all the tlona" which equalled hers In most particulars and transcended them In others. Lillian ha-t told me that In the matter of codes and snnrrt mechanisms there was not his equat In the world. I myself had seen him working at both a number of times, sometimes In the service of the country during the world war, sometimes In the dangers that had threatened my own life and happiness, and despite my irri tation at his manner I had teen lost In admiration of his skill. A Blow to Vanity. t fane ifiy be a good thing for my pe:v. mind that Allen Drake's personalis .-."as Irritating to me as his peculiar powers of mind are attractive. If he were as appealing and fascinating as Dicky, for instance, can be if he wishes, I am afraid that my liking for Mr. Drake's discussions might give me and Dicky cause for. reflection.' But Mr. Drake, when he chooses and h gener ally chooses Is positively maddening In his attitude toward the mentality of women. At the end of most Interviews with him I am generally so enraged that any glamour which might linger around his wonderful powers of mind and his undeniable good looks has vanished completely. He Is good looking to the last degree. I had to admit this as he came swinging HOME-MAKING HELPS By Jeannetta Young Norton "EVERYTHING ABOUT THE HOUSE HELPS TO MAKE THE HOME" What "Following the Sun' CHANGE your clothing, foods, oc cupations, amusements and living surroundings with the seasons if you would keep young and happy." This Is the advice given reoently to a group of Interested women by the leader of a new health cult. "Take the sun, fof your guide." This sounds like sensible advice, but the leader did not seem quite clear In. explaining Just how to bring It all about. Ons of the listeners confessed afterward that aha spent a whole evening doping the thing out. and the following are her deductions for the coming warm sea son: In selecting clothing for warm weather choose that which is light In Weight, loosely woven, washable, and made In oomfortabl models. In fashions to suit the wearer's own particular style. Hats should also be light and cool In ma terials and appearance. The modern sweater solves the light, warm wrap often needed even on warm days. Great care should be bestowed on the feet, comfortable shoes and loosely fitting stockings, for the feet are apt to be very tender moving about on hot pave ments. Making Various Changes. In changing foods, cut eut heavy meats, thick sbups, heating cereals, pas tries, sweets and rich drinks. Adopt In their place fruit, cereal and nut soups, chowders and broths, broiled chicken, light meats, fish In various ways and aalads. Plenty of fresh vegetables, let tuces and fruits, fruit drinks and des serts, egg and cheese dishes, which give the needed change. The woman who cannot pull up and ga awfey for the summer should prepare during house cleaning days for as many changes in her home surroundings as passible. This will relieve her of care. and will make the house seem cool and pleasant and distinctly different from the winter appearance. Early to bed and early o rise, and the adoption of the oriental custom of napping and rest ing in the hottest part of the day also helpa.

I have been told, in all seriousness by some who believed, that they truly live and have been seen. Perhaps they do for those whose faith is strong down the stairs. In apparent Ignorance of the fact that we were standing await ing his presence In the doorway of the hall below. Tall, lithe, lean Ilka a race horse', and as graceful, he waa attired modishly, every detail correct. His eyia were veiled a trick of his underlashes. which are as long and as beautiful as a woman's, an incongruous touch In one so thoroughly virile and masculine. I conceded his unusual attractiveness, even as I found myself resenting his af fectation of ignorance that we were watching him. It was Lillian, afraid of no one, who voiced my thought. "Extremely well done, deah boy!" she drawled. "As a movie hero you'd bo a riot. But you Can lift the eyelashes now. We've been properly impressed." I had the satisfaction of seeing Mr. Drake's lips twitch angrily, the only sign his wounded vanity allowed him. But the next instant he opened his eyes wide and regarded us with carefully simulated astonishment. "1 fall to catch your meaning, dear est ladv," he said stiffly, addressing Lillian." "Well, it Will glva you food for thought If you don't," Lillian retorted. "But come along or Betty'll strike, and then you'll have no food for your body." Orbi?' Really Means. things tnust be considered. If the fam ily well-being depends on the housewife she cannot dodge her regular respon sibilities without, serious results. But she may by careful thought revolution ise them so that her free time may be more than doubled. Cold or seml-c61d dinners, tray luncheons and light break fasts constitute the first step. Now as to amusements. Day trips are available In almost all localities. A simple box luncheon and a thermos sat isfies the appetite, so the only extra outlay Is fare. Approached in the right spirit such a trip twice a week fur nisheS a welcome and inexpensive cnange. Trips and Gaines. These trips, however, should not ba to fashionable hotel spots where you join the tired fringe of hangers-on. 'and can only enjoy that part of the beach re served for picnic parties. There is no rest in crowds. If this is the only avail able sort of nearby play-place, then go very early, enjoy a swim and an early luncheon, then come home befora the real crowd arrives. Those who like tennis or folf usually find it in their vicinity without having to take a trip to get it. The angler must seek the water, and when found the joy of the day is complete. None of these things are to be found where the crowd rushes, so they are all de sirable. One great and redeeming feat ure about day trips Is that no matter how far afield you wander you eventu ally reach home -and your own comfort able bed. which makes up for other dis comforts. All these preliminary pleasures pre pare us for the real vacation. And the two weeks or perhaps three do not seem so short as when we have had nothing before and expect nothing to follow them. In looking for a place to spend a vacation It Is well to remember that tt Isn't distance that counts, but the suitability for our needs whleh we must consider. If we learn the wise plan of living one day at a time without borrowing trouble it will lead to happiness and prolong youth Indefinitely for those who conserve It by natural menu.

Poor, foolish little thing what a timo she did have of it from the very first. Motherless, father less, almost friendless dead in love with her hus band one minute, sick and tired of Mad with the joy of living at dead at quarter past 10.

And then she cried again, and wished ehe hadn't said it, and then she cried and was glad she had said it, and wished she had slid more, and every few minutes she went and sat down and wrote in her diary all about it. 1 Cheap .Tears "I am not happy tonight" "Why must I live?" "How I suffer. My heart is breaking." And somehow t cant shed a tear over that diary. Poor, pitiful, fool ish little thing that it is, for I can't help noticing that the girl who wrote it talks about nobody on earth but herself all the way through. Nobody's troubles bother her, but her own. She never wonders whether Husband is happy or not, and she never worries a minute about Husband's Mother. "I me tnine--my heart my soul my life my husband my new sweetheart." Oh, yes, there was a new sweetheart. Of course-r-there usually is. Have you never noticed it? v And the new sweetheart wasn't nice at all, when he was new no longer, and oh, if she could only go back to her husband, and oh, how this man looked at her, and ah, how that man sighed when her eyes met his theatrics, dramatics, all the way through.

Nearly all Miss Gorton's dinner gowns are very simple, and this one IS particu larly becoming to her. The bodice Is orchid crepe chiffon laid over a camisole lining of silver cloth and orchid net. The silver shows only In the rounded points of the U-shaped opening; In the front and back. The edges of the overblouse ara run with crystal beads in a pinkish shade that reflects the tones f the orchid chiffon. The girdle is changeable orchid satin run with green-blue ribbon and a nar row line of silver cloth. The drop Skirt Is orchid satin, and IS weighted eftmud the lower edge to give It narrowness around the feet and still permit of Its being wide enough for dancing comfort. Nearly all our gowns are Weighted with taped Weights that may be bought by the yard, at any notion counter. I often think when t pick up one of our gowns that I'd hate to be weighed In It. Even the filmiest gown that Madame makes is apt to be weighted In ways that you would never suspect. The hems ara frequently weighted and some times If the dress Isn't hemmed the weights ara sewed In a bias binding of the dress material or of its trimming. On the drop skirt of this dinner gown are run -three bands of green-blue rib bon tlad In front in pert little bows. The overskirt is eut away In frant to Show these bows, and it lengthens toward the back, giving a very becom ing line.

(John Hopkins University) TWO instances, of rhinoscleroma, disease frequent in Slavie countries, but only known to have oc curred in this country in twelve previous cases, have appeared, in New York and Baltimore.

A short time ago James Kirkwood. who recently laid aside his director's puttees and megaphone to appear in the leading role of Allan Dwan's pro duction of "The Luck of the Irish," which comes to the Isis theater of next week was the recipient of a most un unusual request. When he arrived at the studio to start his day's work, he was handed his morning mail. It contained a let ter from a young lady of, a small west ern town. It was written on the very best of paper and with all due forma ity so far as letter-writing was con cerned. She had read the announce ment that Mr. Kirkwood was again to appear on the screen, and was de lighted. She had always loved to watch his pictures and wanted to know if he would be good enough to send her "a lock of hair." Mr. Kirkwood has a remarkable sense of humor, and when the laugh ter had subsided, quickly dictated the following note: "Respected Miss: I have Just received your letter, and am honored by your request.

The Idol Dancer. D. W. Griffith's latest production, "The Idol Dancer." is a distinct de parture from former efforts. Altho he has chosen a tropical isle as the background for his story in plot de velopment it follows the lines of num berless other plays that depend upon the eternal triangle for a backbone. The unique Griffith touches, however, are there and the unusual handling of the beautiful Clarine Seymour, more fascinating than ever, would put the picture over were there less plot ma terial than there is. Then, too, there is Richard Barthelmess, whose "Chink" in "Broken Blossoms" marked him for stellar honors ere the picture had played half the country. In the un couth, gin-drinking beachcomber, we have another splendid characterizttion and his delineation of Dan McGuire is the outstanding feature of "The Idol Dancer." Creighton Hale as Walter Kincaid, a tuberculosis sufferer, is the other point in the triangle. Griffith never does things by halves and when he stages a panic-stricken village attacked by savages, it all seems very real indeed to the specta tor by reason of the completeness of detail and action. Beautiful photog raphy and unusual angles of life In the tropics distinguish the picture from cheap, claptrap attempts at this sort of thing and make the whole a thoroly enjoyable feature.

K At the Orpheum, Of all the nefarious forms of blackmail- there is none so dangerous and likely to "go unpunished and unre vealed as that which is known In po lice circles as the "Badger game." The most pernicious form of this character- blackening scheme, and the one for which every badger artist strives, is a set of circumstances which in reality I are quite innocent but which upon the surface appear to involve a man in a compromising position. When it is j not possible thru vampish and seduc tive art to induce her victim into this l.trap, the feminine badger-worker often resorts to some altogether guile less and plausible pretext, such as a business appointment, to accomplish her desired ends. Police departments generally thru- out the country hailed Paul Arm strong, the celebrated dramatist, as one of their strongest allies, especially when he did a series of crook plays of which "The Deep Purple" was an ex cellent example. Every police officer understood the educational value of the propaganda Armstrong passed over the footlights, but the source of this propaganda was limited.

Two big deals have just been com pleted at the Mack Sennett studios. The first concerns the First National Exhibitors and the second Broadway. Following the success achieved by Mack Sennett's "Down on the Farm," the First National secured from Sen nett his next two productions In that length. Notice of this was made in New York,, but will in no wise, says Mr. Sennett, affect his arrangements with the Producers' association of which he is the treasurer and which begins operations not before next fall. By that time Mack Sennett's name will be familiarly brilliant above a Broadway theater as the producer of a Mack Sennett Revue, the prelimi nary arrangements for the production having all been completed with the engagement as stage director of Ned Weyburn. A year ago when the Sennett Bath ing Beauties, or some of them, were appearing in person in connection with the Broadway presentation of Sennett's "Yankee Doodle in Berlin," it occurred to Mr. Sennett that New York would welcome a Sennett Revue. The girls stopped traffic on Broadway and created a furore. If they, with associated beauties, all from Cali fornia, were to be assembled In a great production, lavishly mounted, sumptuously costumed and rendered witty by clever comedians. New York. Mr. Sennett was advised, would yield tremendous enthusiasm for the project and receipts to match the enthusiasm. Mr. Sennett is sending his personal T-enresentative. E. M. Asher. to New York in a few weeks to attend to the details of the production of the Mack Sennett Revue. Mr. Asher will also NAZIMOA Who Iff leavlmr Metro to co under Robertson-Cole Banner. take along with him the negative of the first of the Sennett five-reel pro ductions to be handled by the First National.

Hasklq, Director, Washing ton. r. c. Charles A. Prouty, member of the I. C. C, declares that "the attitude of the public toward our railroads has entirely changed. It has come to be understood that the railroad is a pub lic servant absolutely dependent upon the will of the public for its existence. It has finally come to be appreciated that this servant cannot render a proper service unless it is properly housed, and fed, and clothed. The public as a whole is prepared to sub mit to whatever may be necessary to secure to this servant fair treatment." If the railroad managers be in a simi lar frame of mind all parties con cerned should be able to maintain "amiable relations in the future. Never has there been a finer opportunity in business for the application of the -Golden Rule. i Kansas newspaper men who have been so cleverly and wisely enter tained the last few months by reading -T'rcU L. Vandogrift's brilliant editorial )age in the I'ittsburg Sun are disap pointed in the knowledge that "Van," as he is most intimately known, has J ceased his activities on this paper. Quotations from Vandegrift's pen were creeping into the newspapers t everywhere and his page represented -the highest ideals in the Journalism that always must live. Clyde Knox In ;the Independence Reporter says: "Does a high grade editorial page ipay? For several months the Pltts tburg Sun carried from three to five columns a day of the best editorial 'matter produced in Kansas for many years. It came from the pen of F. L. jVandegrift. certainly one of the ablest I writers who ever heid down an editor ial tripod in Kansas. Tret he has now left the Sun and the editorial page has given way to short local stories about Pittsburg people and Pittsburg events. Where three weeks ago the editorial i opinions thundered with unceasing volume, the small elusive' three line 1 personal item now modestly blossoms forth like a shy wild rose. Does an editorial page pay? The gentle read er may draw his own conclusions. Evi dently the Pittsburg Sun thinks it .does not." Secretary Houston has suggested to congress that it would better find some way of enabling the government to meet current bills before Incurring new obligations, such ac the soldier j,bonus. Congress might retort that the (government Is spending more money than it should and in ways that are unnecessary. "Washington dispatches indicate that the house will pass the bonus bill at an early date but that the senate will wait until after the national conven tions hava completed their work. AH .rnembera of the house are up for re- election this year, while only one third of the senators are ao situated. McAdoo, Democratic leader In the Literary Digest's poll of 11,000,000 voters for their presidential choice, 'now says he is not a candidate for of 'fice and will not even go to the Dem ocratic convention at San Francisco. President 'Wilson appears still to be master of his house, even if he has lost his grip on congress. An anomalous situation In. the poll tics.of the day Is seen in the fact that Indiana has no candidate for the 'presidency this y ar. Eight years ago the Hoosiers put forward Mr. Mar shall. He obtained second place, which he has since held against all comers. Appearing before the railroad labor board, W. Jett Lauck, formerly secre tary of the national war labor board and lately employed in gathering sta tistics for the railroad brotherhoods, declares that "it la Impossible for a family of five in the United States to maintain itself In even decent poverty for a penny less thsnf $2,600 a year." He demands that that sum be fixed by the board as the minimum wage for Ihe 2,500,000 railway employes of the rountry. But why should the railway employes be singled out to receive a minimum wage of $2,(00 a yearT There ar millions of other workers with families In this country who are living- on less than 12, BOO a year. Let's treat all alike. Allowing- flvs members to a family In a total popu lation of 100.000,000, an average In come of $2,600 for each family would amount to $50,000,000,000 a year a little less than the estimated total cap ital worth of Germany before the war. If the farmers of the country were to demand an average earning; for each farmer of $2,500, the price of food would be double what it is now. Wheat growers of the west have de cided that $3.1$ a bushel is about the right prico for their crop. They did not reveal the method by which they plan to get it. About the only way open to them appears to be the organ ization of a combine to hold their product off the market until buyers meet their terms. This is the favorite way of boosting all prices and the pub lie is accustomed to It. Since "every body's doin' it" probably there will be no attempt at interference with the farmers. PCXMNG OCT THE PROPS. Dispatches from Washington an nounce that bankers of the country, thru representatives attending a con ference with the federal reserve board in that city pledged themselves in helping the board in a drive on high prices and to aid in efforts at defla tion. Specially the bankers agreed unreservedly to support' the board's new policy in discouraging "habitual and unnecessary borrowings," and to seek curtailment of "long standing, non-essential loans, as an initial step toward ending the era of high prices and speculation. Governor Harding warned of Im pending dangers in the cycle borrow ings and speculation and appealed to bankers and public alike to be con servative in its demands for banking credit. In some quarters the federal reserve board itself has been held responsi ble in large measure for high prices and profiteering. "Enormous In creases in the cost of necessities thru the financing of the federal reserve have netted millions to the worst form of profiteers," representative Edward J. King, of Illinois, declared recently. The charge was made before the rules committee of the house in support of a resolution for a congressional inves tigation of the activities of the federal reserve board. "The sugar shortage is due almost entirely to the financing of the hoard ers by the federal reserve," continued Representative King. "The bureau of markets Informs me that on April 23 there were 127,947 tons of raw su gar stocks In New York, Boston and Philadelphia, compared with 110,991 tons ear ago. But with the aid of our government, working thru the fed eral reserve, these hoarders of sugar are enabled to keep it off the market. Withdraw your credit and these stocks will come tumbling on ths market in adequate quantities and at reasonable prices. These sugar stocks are being released in just sufficient amounts to maintain the shortage and keep the price soaring." Altho wool garments are at prohib tive figures, he pointed out, the sup ply of wool in March was 487,107,000 pounds compared with 478,697,000 pounds a year ago. As long as the federal reserve will loan unlimited amounts of money to the holders of this wool, the wool will be allowed to filter on the market only in sufficient quantities to maintain the price. A large amount of raw silk is being hoarded in New Tork. We may soon expect to have federal reserve bank notes Issued against this silk. In New York City alone, he declared, there is held at present 70,416,000 pounds of unsold condensed and evap orated milk compared -with $,051,000 pounds a year ago. Financing Is en abling the holders to keep the milk off the market and the price up altho to tal stocks in the United States are 250 per cent In excess of those a year ago. The following extract from the Lon don Time of September 6, 1794, re published by the Manufacturers' Rec ord, shows that the conditions prevail ing today are not new: "The wages given to servants have increased dur ing the last ten years more than thirty or forty years before. Manufac turing laborers now have got in many places only to work three or four days In the week. Increase of trade and wealth have produced increase of luxury and made the necessities of life more expensive. Workmen con tinually are combining together to leave their work unless the masters consent to Increase their wages, and which only proves to be a temporary compromise until they have an oppor tunity of making a further demand." The editor of the Detroit News, be ing in a reminiscent mood- remarks: 'Those were hard times when a man worked aixteen to eighteen hours a day for 25 cents, and a man who owned a buckboard was in the limou sine class. And yet some of those res olute, hard-handed old people braved the hardships of those hard times and founded fortunes for themselves. They did it by not spending quite all they earned." But people these days must wear silk shirts and ride in mo tor cars regardless of the state of the times. Kansas crops rarely are so poor as they seem. Several million bushels of wheat have been added to this year's output by the experts since the last report on conditions. Will the present outlook cause the producers to reduce their price of $3.13 a bush el? Probably not. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC 3. HASKXV, Director. "Washington, J. C WHAT TIME IS IT? Washington, D. C, May 13. The answer is that scarcely any one knows Just what time it really Is. It is a curious fact that in this coun try, where nearly everybody carries a watch, very few know the time or how it is determined. This is emphasized by the great con fusion which attended the daylight saving experiment, and by the still greater confusion which has been caused in some states which have tried to keep daylight saving after the rest of the nation had dropped it. The daylight saving law saved us a frttle daylight, caused a great many arguments, and then perished. But it also visited a boon upon this country of which very little is known. The law provided that the United States should be divided into live stanaara time zones, and that the limits of these zones should be defined by an order of the interstate commerce commis sion, and that all interstate common carriers should conform to those zones. The Time Line. Th Interstate commerce commis sion is still at it. That is, the limits of the zones were fixed some time ago, but various localities are not sat isfied with the time they have been given, and are petitioning the commis sion to change the lines. The state of Idaho, for example, is cut in nair Dy one of the zone lines. It is half in Pacific Time and half in Mountain Time. It wants the line changed so that the whole state willbe In Moun tain Time, and the case is still pend ing. Other such objections to the time zones are brewing. It will be some months or possibly years before everv one is satisfied, but all are agreed that the new time zones are vastly better man tne oia ones, wiucn sometimes made local time differ by more than an hour from sun time. In order to understand this business it is necessary to go back a little, in the first place, ycu must realize that the need for accurate time, and for a definite and fixed relation between the local times of different places came only with the development of rapid transportation Back in the early part of the last century It did not matter much what time it was. There were scarcely any watches, and only a few clocks, most of which were made of wood. They were not wonderfully accurate. Now the correct time, or sun time, at any place, is based upon the fact that it is noon at that place when the sun is due south. Hence in the old days, clocks were set for 12 o'clock when the sun was at its highest, or what the people thought was highest. Each locality had its own time, and there being little travel between local ities, everybody was happy. The History of It. But when the sun is at the highest point in Ohio, it is still an hour from noon somewhere out in the Dakota s. With the spread of railroads these dif ferences of time had to be adjsted somehow. Accordingly along in 1884, when both railroads and watches had become common, and our own conti nent had Just been spanned by rails, twenty-six of the principal nations of the world met and agreed to take the meridian at Greenwich, England, as the prime meridian and to calculate all time by that. Now the sun moves (ap parently) toward its setting at the rale of fifteen degrees of longitude in an hour. Therefore by marking the world off in meridians of fifteen degrees each, zones were established in each of which the time should differ by an hour from that in the next zone. Five of these lines cut the United States, those of 75, 90, 105, 120 and 135 de grees of longitude west of Greenwich. They divide the United States into four main time zones, known as the East ern, Central, Mountain and Pacific zones. The naval observatory in Washington determines the correct time, and flashes it to the various zones. Thus there Is both national and world agreement as to what time it is. But this does not provide each town with the correct time, by any means. The railroads are at once the deter mining and the disturbing factor. They made accurate time necessary, and to their convenience the change of time must be adjusted. It is self-evident that they cannot run on constantly changing time. Your time ought to change gradually as you travel east or west- A town five de grees of longitude farther west than a certain other town ought to have time twenty minutes slower in order to have exact sun time.' Too Many Times. If each town actually had sun time, the local time would not correspond to the railroad time, for the railroads are bound to agree on certain points at which they will change time. They realize that in crossing the continent they have got to gain or Jose a cer tain amount of time, and their only object Is to make these time' changes with least possible inconvenience to themselves. In the past the railroads determined each for itselfat what point it should Change its time. They disregarded al most completely the standard time divisions based on the prime meridian at Greenwich. What they did regard were their own operating divisions. It was bad, they said, to have the train crews changing their watches in the middle of a run. Someone might for get to do so and cause trouble. So tho 'time breaking points" were al ways at the ends of operating divi sions. This resulted in confusion in two ways. In the first place, different railroads ran into the same towns on different times. In the second place, because the 'railroads disregarded the standard time divisions, railroad time was nowhere near sun time. The first confusion was very serious sometimes in the early days of rail roads. Some towns In this country have had as much as five different times at once. But such confusions as that were eliminated as the rail roads learned to co-operate better. The conflict between railroad time and sun time, however, remained a serious matter until the recent defini tion of the zone limits by the commis sion. El Paso was one of the most unfortunate cities in this respect. Certain roads found it convenient to carry central time as far west as El Paso. It was possible to go from Sa- I vannah to El Paso without changing time, and when you got to El, Paso you would have to change your watch two hours. Roads going west from El Paso did not operate on the same time as some reaching it from the east. Thus there were several railroad times in the town, and none of them conformed to I sun time. If the local Inhabitants had-! chosen to live by central time, in order to conform to certain railroad sched ules from the east, they would have been nearlv two hours off sun time. The people of El Faso found this even more confusing than you do, if possible, xney welcome tne new ar rangement which places El Paso defi nitely in its proper time zone and Com pels interstate carriers to "break time" before they reach there. Certain other towns have also been made happy. Cleveland used to have three times local time, railroad time and steamboat time. In other places, the changing of the old time lines has caused discontent and some hardship. Wherever this is the case, the commission holds a hear ing and tries to decide the matter on its merits. It required ten thousand miles of travel and millions of words of testimony to fix these time lines. You would have to look at them on a map, to appreciate the job. They are very crooked lines, looping this way and that to include various towns in the time zones they prefer, and to con form to the convenience of he rail roads. But they are not nearly as crooked as they used to be. They are triumphs of the art or compromise. (Copyright. 19M. by the McClore News paper Syndicate.) Dorothy Dix Talks BY OOROTISY DTX Worls's Highest JPald Wemaa Writer. Telling; the Truth. 1. Of course it is one of the things that isn't done. It simply Isn't. It can't be done. Telling the truth. If we started out in the morning and attempted to speak the truth for one single day, we would end up in the hospital by mid-afternoon, and prob ably spend the balance of our lives on crutches, because we had been so maimed, and roughly man-handled by those whose vanity we had offended. And we would be poor, forlorn creatures, without a friend on earth. Nobody ever knew even a moderately veracious person, who was popular In society, or one of those lucky Indi viduals at whose coming every eye brightens, and every one begins to purr. Besides which nobody has the cour age to speak the truth. There have been heroes who have led forlorn hopes, but nobody was ever foolhardy enough to hope that anybody would ever be grateful for being told the particular facts in his, or her, individ ual case. Yet, can you think of any one thing that would work such an immediate and wholesale reformation as for each of us to be handed a nice, large, solid chunk of truth about ourselves, and thus have our attention directed to some particular weakness? This would give us a chance to correct it. for most of our faults are the faults of ignorance. We are so blinded by our own egotism that we do not know that we possess them, and we'd lop them off quickly enough if "we had a search light turned on them. Par ticularly social sins. Wouldn't you like to be the truth teller with a steel helmet and a gass mask, a coat of chain armor on and an airplane to make a quick get away in until the offended parties Bad had time to cool down and realize that you were doing it for their good. There's a boy I know. Such a nice young chap. So handsome, clever, and agreeable, and with such charming manners. An up-and-coming young man, too, because he's just full of energy, and pep, and fairly eats his work up. Some of these days he is going to be a big man, but he must have had a .careless mother because she did not teach him how to hold his fork. He grabs it as if it were a har poon, and he was going to make an attack on a deep sea whale. Nobody could see this boy eat without having his stock go down 60 per cent in their estimation. How I wish I had the courage to tell him the truth, and advise him to take a few lessons in table etiquette. It would be worth a hundred thousand dollars to him, but I shall never dare even whisper to him.. that table cutlery is an appliance of luxury and not a weapon of offense and defense. There's a young girl I know. Really a pretty, sweet nice girl, with plenty of gray matter Just above the hair mattresses over her ears. This girl greatly desires to be admired by men, and to make a good marriage, but somehow she's made the mistake of thinking that the way to attract at tention of men' is being loud, and brazen, and fast appearing.

But those women have never been real business women, or, if they have, it was in some business that did not in terest them beyond the size of their pay envelopes. I know, that there must be many women In the world situated just as I was, wno feel the same. Women without children who havo too much time on their hands, but whose hus bands do not want them to work out side of the home for fear they, their comfort, will be neglected or because of false pride. I have known many young couples who, simply because of pride, have grubbed along on starvation wages rather than let the wire Belp, even when there were no children or other cause for her to remain idle save for the short time It took -to do the work of two or three rooms. T can't see how a man can be so foolish. There is another side to this also. The working girl, whether from shop or office. Isn't accustomed to so much time. Usually she gets into mischief of some sort, and oftentimes the end is divorce, caused simply by nothing to do. Small flats with every convenience do not require the time to take care of that a house does. The small town girl, with her tiny houje and garden, chickens, etc., has her day well filled, while the poor city girl I am speaking now of working girls who marry smbll-salaried men is all fin ished In an hour or two. and then has nothing to do but walk the streets or go to motion pictures. This Is especially true of the very young wife. Girls like Betty and Jane, who wait until they are 25 or more before marrying and then, as Betty and Jane did. have families are ex ceptions.

I had hoped so much from my work, and I had failed. Of course I had succeeded for a time, and it had helped wonderfully in keeping me contented, and also in furnishing our home But to fall! For the first time since we had gone to housekeeping my breakfast table was uncleared when noon came, my beds unmade; I had not stirred the en tire morning. I thought of Robert, how I loved h'-m, and how happy he was. "I must do nothing to spoil that happiness. I couldn't bear to see him unhappy again," I said aloud. Then came a thought. I would go down and see Madame Leets. I hurriedly cleaned up my rooms, did my marketing, then dressed myself with unusual care. Madame was not peculiar in that appearances went a long way with her. I had an idea in my mind, it might come to something, but she must not suppose for a moment I came to her because It was again necessary for me to work. If she did. my plan would amount to nothing. When-1 was drcsscd I was perfectly satisfied with my appearance, all but my hat. But that could not be helped. It was an oldone I had bought of her. and very becoming. But I realized it was last season's shape, and that she would remark upon it at once. I left the bus before I reached the shop. If she were out I would not go until another day. I did not care to have the girls question me which they would if they had a chance. I went into a drug store and called her on the telephone. "This is Mrs. Meredith Gerry." I told her. "If you have a few moments to spare, I am coming in to talk to you." "Corns right along! What Is It? Want to come back?" A note in her voice that sounded as if she hoped I did. "I am only a short distance away. I will be over at once," I replied, paying no regard to her questions. "Prhaps It will turn out all right I said aloud as I hurried down the street. (To be continued.) ately steal. He must have needed money badly and intended to par it back." The girl slept little that night, and in the morning was up early. She could scarcely wait until evening for unrtord was to call at o clock. She was fearful he might leave town or be arrested in the meantime, so she called him on the phone and received assur ance he would be on hand. Eight o'clock came, and Clifford was punctual, altho appearing ss wor ried as ever, or more so. They started a cribbage game In the library, while Mr. and Mrs. Clemmons shut them selves in the living room. "It's got to come tonight," Meda decided, shuffling the cards. Before either had rounded the board once they tossed their hands on the table. "I don't feel like playing," said Meda. "Neither do I." he agreed, and they went to the piano. However, Meda was unarjie to get thru the first selec tion. She had developed a case of nerves as intense as the one that gripped Clifford. Suddenly she left the piano, stood up and confronted him. "Clif," she said placing her hands on his shoulders, and loking him in tently in the eyes, "you've got to make that confession tonight. What is it that's bothering you? Don't you be lieve you can trust me with any se cret, no matter what?" Clifford smiled, something after his oio manner. "Certainly, Meda, I can trust you; and I'm going to make the confession too. I've got to get it off my mind. its just this "Meda! said her mothers voice from the living room. "Can you come here a moment?" She excused herself, and left him standing by the piano. "The blow's going to fall," she mur mured, hurrying to the living room. "Probably they're going to take him to Jail right now." Her father was seated In his easy chair, with her mother close by. "Meda," her father began, without any preliminary remarks, "something serious has occurred at the bank. I fell that you ought to know what it is. especially since the thing has been settled. "The fact Is ten thousand dollars was taken by a trusted employe; but he has confessed and resigned, and there will be nothing done about it, altho he is leaving town. Meda breathed easier. It was some relief to know Clif would not be sent to prison. "I rely on you; not to mention this to Clifford. Mr. Clemmons went on "I just received a phone call that made matters clear, and the directors told me their plan, which I approved." Meda was trembling. She gulped two or three times, and managed to stammer: "Who is the guilty one?" "Swanson, the receiving teller. He had been playing stocks, and simply borrowed the money to make good on a deal. On account of his faithful service he will not be Imprisoned. Gilbert, one of the directors, has of' f ered to make good for him, and Swanson has promised to work hard in some other city and pay him back." Meda's heart felt lighter aa she hur ried back to Clifford, who remained standing near the piano, mopping his brow with a handkerchief. "Meda," he said, firm resolution In his tones, placing his hands on her shoulders: "I'm going to confess at once. It's Just this I love you. Its worried me for some time, because I was afraid the affection was not r- turned. It took a lot of nerve to tell you. but there it's out." She laughed joyously. "Be reassured Cif dear." she told him softly, and her arms found their way about his shoulders. "I love you, too, you see." (Copyright, 1920. br the McClure News paper Syndicate.) Dinner Stories A small girl In a street car was try ing to say something which heri mother appeared to be greatly trying to suppress. Several times the little one started and each time the mother leaned over to her and enjoined silence. When the mother thought her child ham been effectually squelched the youngster blurted out: "I don't care. That lady over there says 'ain't" and it goes 'isn't. "Well," said her husband, "did you take the house?" "Which one-" "Why, the one that was described as overlooking a plendid garden, richly adorned with statues, in which we would be at liberty to promenade."

Eaoy to Own m ths) Jenkins PUB 833 KANSAS AVE. PHOXB 420 ON SECOND THOUGHT BY J AT E. HOUSE, (from Phlltdtlphla Public Ledftf.) There is nothing more insidious than the propaganda of capital. Sev eral times lately we have read in the capitalistic press a statement to the effect that E. Raymond, assistant general manager of the Atchison, To peka and Santa Fe Railway, who died not long ago. started in life in 1S78 as a track laborer. Doubtless there are thoughtless per sons who will applaud the late Mr. Raymond's triumph of brute ability, brute industry, and brute efficiency over the unfortunate persons with whom his earlier lot was cast, but thinking people everywhere will dep recate his heartlessness, his cruelty and his callousness in bettering his condition at the expense of those who should have been his brothers. Who knows but that the example set by the late Mr. Raymond, and so widely heralded by the capitalistic press, may cause any number of young men to attempt to better their station and condition of life and thus, and by so much, retard the enda of humanity and Justice? It is enough, we go on to say, to make Upton Sinclair weep and, un doubtedly, will have that effect. The incident of Mr. Raymond's death may be even more far reaching. It may Inspire Mr. Sinclair to write another book. We have so frequently complimented Mr. Gompers we hope he will not take it unkindly if we stze the present oc casion to tell him the truth. And the truth is that Mr. Gompers s adminis tration of public affairs is becoming very unsatisfactory to the public. There is. we are inclined to believe, a very strong feeling that some young er and more vigorous man should suc ceed Mr. Gompers In the conduct of the nation's business. We have known Jackson Fullcn wider about five months. We live in the same apartment hotel and see him nearly every day. He is a vety excel lent gentleman of more than average ability and intelligence. But we can't stand his favorite story, and if he tells it again in our presence, we shall not be responsible for the consequences. Roughly speaking, we figure ws havo heard Mr. Fullenwlder's favorite story 187 times. We do not believe any man should tell his favorite story to th same person more than fifty tfrnes in five months. There is a very general antipathy to men. It is often more strongly marked in their wives and children than anywhere else. We believe this antipathy is due to the fact that every man tells the same stories over and over again. "Who." writes a valued reader, "are the proletariat, whom you claim to represent and of whom you write so much?" It is exceedingly difficult to cover the ground in a generalization, but the proletarians we have known Intimately were gentlemen who spent so much time in argument that they had little left in which ot perform use ful labor. It Runs North and South to t's. Sir If you notice Chestnut street runs west, then you will notice that at sunset the sun moves from the south of Chestnut street to a few points north of west. It is in Wllllamsport, Pa., where the sun sets at the1 north end ot West Fourth street. I. B. The idiosyncrasies of the sun. with reference to its rising and its setting, have baffled many otherwise dull and monotonous moments for us.' We re call, among others, on very unusual and annoying experience. We were traveling, in late afternoon, from Los Angeles to San Diego and looking westward from the car window dis tinctly saw the sun Immerse itself in the racific ocean. Early the follow- 1 ing morning, we saw the sun rising in the western horizon. It had gone down and come up in the same place. The only difference wu that, while ft had disappeared in the 'bosom of the ocean. It was emerging from the top of a mountain. In' Elkhart, Ind., the sun rises in the southwest and sets in the northeast. We speak authoritatively of this phe nomenon, having had occasion to ob serve it many times. In Washington, D. C. the sun has no regular rising or setting place. We have seen it rise in the north, south and west and set in the north, south and east. In Can ton, O., the sun rises in the east and sets in the south. In Topeka, Kan., it rises in the south and sets in the northwest. The eccentricity developed by the orb of day In Williamsport is almost a commonplace. Essential You Can.

The battle lasted for more than three weeks without ceasing and the awful things the Turks did are worse than you could possibly imagine. Men, women and children were shot, clubbed, hacked to pieces with hatchets and knives. In one church nearly a thousand Armen ians were burned to death. The Turks flood the streets with kerosene and then set fire to it. Eight or ten thou of Maraah and practically the only ones saved were t hose in Am erlcan institutions.

Garvsr before he retired from the bench when he destroyed J09 quarts of liquor at the court house ia Topeka last Saturday. Since that time inquiries have been received from. the. government rela tive to the amount of liquor in the hands of officers and intimating1 that whatever the amount It would be taken into custody by the officers. So, according ta deductions by local officials, the liquor would have been taken out of Topeka whether by the sewer or government route. Just before Judge Garver retired from the bench, to go to Texas he is sued a blanket order to the sheriff in- structing him tn destroy all liquor on hand not needed as evidence in cases pending in court. Thirsty Friends. Eh? Larimer delayed obeying the order because of scruples against the de struction of so much coveted fluid but finally when the pleas of thirsty friends became so insistent he put on a pair of overalls last Saturday and with the Janitor as an aid rid himself of the- 300 quarts of liquor. Ever since the prohibition law went into effect liquor captured in raids has been destroyed by sheriffs on blanket orders. The action of Larimer Satur day was no different than that of other peace officers at various times. Criticism in Topeka. There has been a wave of criticism over the city following Larimer's ac tion. Whisk v is recognized by medi cal authorities as invaluable in influ enza and pneumonia rases. It has been suggested that the liquor be placed in the hands of the city or state health departments instead of the sewer. The argument that if the liquor did not go into the sewer it would have gone out of the city is not accepted as a logical excuse by many Topeka phy sicians. If the whisky has any medi- 1 i. vniiU H K.f t tn Ilia I nanda ot the government than floating in the Kaw river. Of course it ia recognized that law is law and the sheriff undoubtedly was legally supported in his action but the city's criticism is based on the practical value of whisky not the use to which it might have been put as a beverage.

However, they must register before th book close July 21. This was the decision reached after much arguments concerning the rights of youthful voters. For a time It was doubtful whether a man who would become 21 years old between, tha pri mary and election days could register before the primary. According te Kansas election laws, says City Clerk Covell, the man may register, and also vote at the primary, altho be may not be ef age at that time. Girls IS Want to Vote. A surprising number of women un der 21 years old are presenting them selves for registration under the sup position that a young woman II year old may vote. As a matter of fact, altho a woman is legally of age when she becomes 18. she cannot vote until she is 21. It is remarkable to not that at least 33 per cent of the citizens who have so far registered in Topeka ar foreign born. It appears they are taking more interest in the welfare of the country than native born Americans. Registration Ta Re Light. TTn until today there were about 8.000 persons registered, half of them women. From present indications it seems that registration will not be se heavy this year as usual, unless there ia a great awakening tn the next few weeks. f The new law requires that everyone who wishes to vote this year must register, whether they have ever voted before or not. The law also has been changed, making it necessary for Civil war veterans to become- citizens be fore voting. Formerly a war veteran I was entitled to vote by presenting hi honorable discharge.

Nevertheless, all real westerners greatly admire the man who can twirl a fancy rope like my old friend. Will Jtogers or who can win a race, bull dog a steer, rope a running steer, shoot bullseyes with a six-shooter, ride a bronc bareback, or perform fancy tricks in the saddle. Therefore, as the Round-L'ps grew more popular all the other events were added. At the Cheyenne Frontier Days' Celebration, or the i'endleton Round up, or the Calgary Stampede. or any of the big shows each year, there are such big money purses and attractive prizes offered that the cowboys come from all over the west to compete. Most of the present day champions just travel from Knund-L'p to Round Up each season, making a very good living in prizes won. Money prizes for the various events run from ten dollars to fifteen hundred dollars for each event. Some change from the old days of the west, when the cow boys competed for a few dollars, a pair of chaps, or maybe a saddle, in some special event. A clear description of" a Round-Up would not be complete without visual izi'.ig for you boys the other events of this great western sporting show. Some are descended from tradition dangerous feats which were part of a real cowpuncher's daily life on the range; others are fairly new and owe their origin to the inventiveness of men who sure liked to t,ake a chance. Question Box No. 5. Boys, I have explained in a former Question Box the sport and rules of a cowboy's bucking horse riding con test. Many of the requests also concern steer bulldozing. Outside of the American west there are very few neoole who know what steer bulldog- King means. How does a cowboy bulldog" a steer, and what does the i term mean? You've got to be a regular he-mai to bulldog a steer which probably weighs in the neighborhood of 1,600 pounds of wild bone and muscle. The cowboy contestant is mounted on a horse beside the chute, or pen, In which the steers are kept. When the Bteer is let out and gets fifty feet ahead of where the contestant is mounted, the flag drops and the bat tle Is on. Imagine leaping out of your saddle from a. racing horse's back onto the horns of a plunging wild steer! The rowboy is required to catch and throw tho steer with his BARE HANDS and hold the animal by its lip with his tsteth. The steer must be stopped before being thrown. Then, the cow boy can wrestle it down to the ground until the steer is flat on its side. Then the flag is dropped and the time taken. Imagine, any man who does not catch his steer in one minute's time Is flagged and ruled out, and any con testant who knocks his steer down, before bringing him to a full stop, is disqualified. Positively no biting or cruelty of any kind is tolerated, how ever. It takes' some he-man to win this event. And. bovs. the world's record Is under TWENTY SECONDS. Famous in the annals of steer bull dogging history is the story of an American negro named Pickett, who once broke, up the national sport of Mexico bull fighting. This negro was a tremendously powerful man. He could bulldog a steer by throwing it after gripping the animal's lip with his teeth, and. then, throwing both his hands high in the air at the same time. Finally, this negro. Pickett, came to Mexico City with a Wild West show. He was well advertised. All Mexico City was out to see one of their wicked Spanish fighting bulls kill a black "gringo." After a terrible struggle in which his horse was killed, the negro trvravirvAv Halftone? a4 Zinc EtcHingf Cot Promotion C&&logff and Clrrulars a m 1 1 1 1 Design for i J j Letterhead j f &id Checks j I Mapj and puus Jji succeeded In throwing the bull with his teeth and bare hands. Well, he had to be smuggled out of Mexico to escape the wrath of the spectators who had witnessed this Buffalo Vernon. There may be others, of course. j "r course, you r.oys want to Know j gerous to the steer in the cowboy con test; if there is any risk, the cowboy takes it. And, altho he may lose the contest or fail to bulldog his steer, he never quits trying. Such is the sport ing blood of the west. DROP BEACHES BRITISH ISLES in prices in the British Isles. Cotton has dropped 14 cents a pound since Thursday and more than 30 per cent since February. Wool prices also have declined. The press generally was inclined, however, to doubt whether the price of clothing and fabric goods would be affected immediately, pointing out that present stocks of manufactured products were .made from cotton and wool purchased at the peak prices. Prices of tea, syrup, tinned salmon and mutton also have declined during the past week. Reductions in shoe prices were pre dicted. The Daily News believed water freight rates would be lowered in the near future and foresaw a marked de cline in prices for that reason. "A Manchester cotton expert, the News said, "declares the cotton slump is the first real sign of a world fait in prices."
