Montreal, Junee 17. Government ownership with democratic operation j or American railroads was enaorsea today by the American Federation of j Labor convention here after a bitter fight. I Roll call showed that government ownership was endorsed by a vote of 23,059 to 8,349. The language of the resolution was the language of the Plumb Plan i league, aitho the league was not spe- fififullv mentioned. I President Samuel Gompers took the floor at the American Federation of Labor convention here today to warn against endorsement of government ownership and operation of railroads. C ites Cleveland and T. R. Gompers cited acts of Presidents Cleveland. Roosevelt and Taft to show that government employes are prohib ited from exercising many political and industrial rights. "All railroad workers will become government employes." said Gompers, "if this convention endorses govern ment ownership and government oper ation of the railroads and if the gov ernment is persuaded to follow tne en dorsement of tnis convention. "No man Is more loval to the United .u"uci miiy, n was oeuevea nere. States than I. and yet I would not It was learned today that Col. Sid give it more power over the citizenship ney L. Waldon, William B. Mayo and of America than it now has." 'other Detroit men interested in the Gompers took the floor only after promotion of the aviation construction it seemed certain the convention was Industry, were notified of the project willing to put the American Federa-I ed visit of the German representatives tlon of Labor on record for govern urnt ownership and operation of the railroads provided In the Plumb plan. Gompers received no applause at the conclusion of his speech. Cries for a vote filled the hall. Enthusiasm for government ownership seemed as strong as ever. The vote was 29.059 to 8,349. It came at the end of a two-day battle, the bitterest which has torn organized labor in years. The result was a simple defeat of Samuel Gompers. veteran president of the federation. It is regarded as the only real setback Gompers has re ceived In years. Cheers shook the convention hall whin the vote was announced. Gompers Fought It Miners and railroad workers com bined to bring about Gompers's de feat. Gompers fought hard to kill the resolution, personally taking the floor Just before the vote. He received no applause. Gompers warned that under gov ernment ownership two million rail road workers would become govern ment employes. Government employes, be declared, were deprived of many political and economic rights under Presidents Cleveland, Taft and Roose velt. Among those who fought Gom pers were Secretary Morrison; Secre tary Green of the miners: President William F Johnston of the Interna tional Machinists' union and Delegate Franklin of the boilermakers' union. The Gompers faction early in the fisht raised the cry of "socialization of American Industry." They made it clear they favored government con trol but were opposed to government ownership.

Drys Roused Orer Nomination of Senator Harding. Determined to Get Dry Flank and Dry Candidate. BY DON CHAMBERLAIN. Chicago, June 17. The Prohibition party, disappointed at the nomination of Senator Warren G. Harding by the Republicans and at alleged rebuffs given its representatives at the G. O. P. national convention, are planning a presidential ticket. Virgil G. Hlnshaw. chairman of the Prohibition national committee, --declared here today. Little hope Is held that the Demo crats will put up a 109 per cent Pro hibiton ticket, said Hlnshaw. "We want something more than a candidate," he said. "We want a dry plank and a dry ticket." The Republicans, dry leaders charged, "ducked" the issue. A tele gram was dispatched today to Senator Watson,-chairman of the Republican resolutions committee, asking an in terpretation of a clause in the plat form which, Hlnshaw said, placed the G. O. P. on record "to repeal the ar rogant challenge of any class and to maintain the government by all the people instead of by some of the peo ple." Drys believe this clause was aimed at them. Senator Harding will not be accept ed by the Prohibitionists, said Hin shaw. A statement explaining its re fusal to support Harding probably will be made svithin a few days.. rh now objection to Harding will applytto Governor Cox of Ohio, wheth er he vis nominated for the first or sec ond place on the Democratic ticket. William G. McAdoo had the endorse ment of the drj's but they said they would not take him unless he has an other dry' on his ticket and an airtight dry plank in his platform. OPPOSING SHRINE TEMPLE?

Consideration of Persian Flea Called "Pompons Farce." CONCEALED 'OPEN DIPLOMACY' First Heal Test Shows Im potency of Peace Plan. Persian Minister Barely Able to Conceal Disappointment. London, June 17. Sharp criticism of the decision reached by the council of the League of Nations to postpone action on the plea of Persia for de fense against the Bolshevik! is ex pressed in some quarters here and one section of the press openly attacks the council for its action. Some of those present at the meet ing of the council, it is declared, were given a bad impression and it is un derstood Prince Mirza Flrouz, Persian foreign minister, notwithstanding his outward acquiescence, was consider ably disappointed, altho he comforted. himself in the confident hope in the event that Bolshevikl troops did not withdraw from Persia, the league would take active steps to protect his country. Calls It "Pompous Farce." The Times captions its editorial on the subject: "A pompous farce," and yesterday's proceedings "Humiliating." It says: "Malice was the cause of discredit being brought on the League of Nations." "This body (the council) was pledged to the furtherance of open diplomacy," cQmplains the Daily News, "but threw no light on the text of the correspondence which has p--jed between the Persians and So viet governments and certain condi tions alleged to have been imposed. This is o-- way of killing the league." The Herald, organ of labor, de clares: League Already Dead. "The league is already dead because it never lived, r.nd this because the men who formed it were militarists and imperialists greedy for power and territory." A Copenhagen dispatch to the Her ald refers to the unpublished corre spondence between Persia and soviet Russia, and, championing the latter, claims Persia has not answered the so viet government protest against what it calls Persian violations of interna tional law.

Wood Organization Said to Charge Him With Treachery. General Himself Bitterly As sailed Kansan, Is Report. JUDAS, ALLEN AND TOBE HERT Defeated Candidate "Names Them as "the Three Traitors." May Issue Statement Soon, Says "Inside" Authoritative Report. BY A. L. SHULTZ. Governor Allen stands charged with treachery by the .Wood organization with which he trained thruout the campaign preceding the Republican national convention. From an au thoritative source it is reported that General Wood himself bitterly assailed the governor when the two met in the Congress hotel following the conven tion. In this interview General Wood is said to have charged Allen with throwing the Kansas delegation with a view of winning the vice presidency. At this time the status of the Wood Alien trouble is seemingly known only in the inner Wood organization. Yet. so bitter is General Wood, according to a direct and reliable report, that the general himself may issue a state ment. The charge cf treachery is based on the throwing of the Kansas delegation solidly to Harding on the ninth ballot. It was the turn in the swing of the convention and indirectly resulted fn Harding's nomination on the next roll call. Wood forces went down fighting. Was "Under Suspicion." For several weeks, according to re ports from inner Wood circles. Gov ernor Allen was under suspicion of the general's managers. It is believed to have been an expression of this suspicion which induced the governor to accept the request that he present the general's name to the convention. But the suspicion that Allen was not going his entire length did not stop. It was increased when W. Y. Morgan was beaten for a place on the creden tials committee. Wood forces demanded a solid Kansas vote. Alleirtppealed for these 1 PHONE at Our Telephone" votes, but at no time was he able to deliver them. All except seven' mem bers of the delegation were ready to leave Wood whenever his nomination became apparent. This situation lrri- j taxed the Wood men. They were re-1 sentful when Kansas swung to ten votes for Wood, six for Low den and four for Harding on the Saturday morning voting. Turned on Allen for V.-P. Then came the eighth ballot. Allen went to the floor of the convention and asked the delegates to go to Harding with their standard on the next vote. A short time before the governor's visit Senator Watson, of In-; diana had proposed placing of the Kansas governor before the conven tion for vice president In the four hours of recess and con tinued balloting, something happened. Kansas went to Harding. "Watson withdrew his offer to nominate Allen. The Wood forces turned In open at tack and delivered every possible vote against the governor. Of the 8V4 Al len votes, thirty of them came from Illinois Governor Lowden's home. "Judas, Allen and Tone Hert." "Of course It sounds like- the wail of a sorehead." says a communication from an inside Wood source, "but General Wood says If there were ever three traitors In the world, one of them was Judas, the other was Henry Allen of Kansas, and the third was Tobe Hert of Kentucky who turned against Lowden. It Is also a matter of knowledge that he told Governor Allen to his face in his rooms at the Congress hotel Just what he thought of him and in terras that were unmis takable. "I am almost' sure that Wood will make a statement. Wood told and will tell you he owes his de feat to Governor Allen. Others differ on this, of course but It's Wood's own story. Double-Crossed by Old Guard. "Not only this, but Wood says that he knows personally that Allen went into the Harding combination and de livered the vote with the understand ing that he was to get the vice presi dency. After the old guard got Allen's vote, they turned Allen down. "Wood takes great satisfaction personal enjoyment rather out of the fact that Allen was given a dose of his own medicine. As I said before no one outside of (here certain names were given) and one or two others, know of the awful 'bawling out' Wood gave Al len and how Allen took it like a baby, as the general had on his fighting clothes." The story Is told by a person In In timate touch with both General Wood and the action of his campaign. It is the first expression from inside sources as to the feeling which came with the state's vote for Harding on advice of the governor. Governor' Friends Resent Attack. Friends of Governor Allen, however, will resent any attack on his loyalty to Wood. Perhaps the greatest criticism of some of his friends was tnat ne played the Wood string too long. When the governor went before his home state delegation to ask for a solid Harding vote, he stated that his prom ise to deliver Wood votes from Kansas ended when the general fell from first place. Lowden was leading wnen Kansas carried her banner to the Ohio delegation.

Opening quota tions, which ranged from c to lc lower, with July $1.78 to $1.78 and September $1.6Kl, to $1.0,9 were followed by moderate further declines and then something of a reaction.

C. L. Platform. If the Democrats tackle prohibition when a. platform is written during the national convention in San Francisco, it means party suicide, according: to George H. Hodges of Olathe. former governor. Hodges, who is doped as Kansas member of the platform com mittee, will support Bryan in his fight for a dry plank. The former governor is a member of the Kansas Big Four. He believes a majority of the delegates are favor able to the nomination of McAdoo, altho there are Kansas votes frr Cox. In event of a deadlock which Hodges does not anticipate the delegation might swing behind Champ Clark. Serious league issues are not antici pated by Hodges. Kor McAdoo, Then Co. "Most of the delegates are for Mc Adoo." said Hodges, "altho some are for Cox. It a deadlock should de velop, they might go to Champ Clark. I do not believe a deadlock is prob able. I know of no sentiment for ilarshall." Hodges fears most a wet platform. "That would be suicide," he de clared. "Personally, I would like to see the Democrats pass up dead issues and do something about the high cost of living. That should be the big is Rue in the approaching campaign, and I shall urge that the Democrats hew to the line on the live topics of the dav." The Kansas delegation will leave over the Santa Fe Monday. Two spe cial cars attached to the California Limited will carry the sunflower state crowd. Next Teachers' Exam. Juno 25.

HE SAW THE PROOF In His Wife's Case, Says St. Joseph Contractor. Sis Health Is Also Restored by Taking Tanlac. Tanlac has certainly been a very great blessing to my wife and myself," declared W. T. Conway, 809 East Hidepark street. South St. Joseph, Mo., a -well-known contractor. "I had suffered for five year from tomach trouble, and although I had tried many different medicines, noth ing ever did me any good until I began taking Tanlac, after seeing what it did for my wife. Why, the way she began to Improve almost as soon as she started taking It is hardly believable. When I saw ehe had actually gained thirty-five pounds in weight after tak Ini onlv three bottles, and change from a weakly, sickly woman into a strong, healthy one, I concluded it cer tainly ought to help me. Well, sir. my conclusions certainly proved to be cor rect, for after taking only two bottles I am a well man. My appetite naa left me almost entirely, and even when I did manage to eat a little something, it turned sour and fermented, causing me to bloat up badly with gas, and there was always a heavy feeling in my stomach after meals. I suffered terribly from pains in my legs and the small of my back nearly all the time. Mv nerves were so badly upset I could never get a good night's sleep. Final ly, I became so run-down and weak for aa much as six weeks at a time I would have to stop work entirely. "I had taken only a few doses of Tanlao when I began to improve, and In a snort while was feeling as well as I ever did in my life. I now have a nlendld appetite, and can eat Just anything I want without suffering a particle arterward. ine pains that were in my lega and back have left yne entirely, and my nerves are in such fine shape I can sleep ail night long without waking. I have entirely re gained my lost strength, never lose a day from work on account of sickness, and, in fact, am enjoyii g the best of health. It is always a pleasure for me to recommend Tanlac after what it has done for my wife and myself." Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully- McFarland Drug Co., S35 Kansas Ave. and 729 Kansas Ave. Adv.

Director, Washing ton. I. The outlook for national woman suffrage this fenr seems gloomy. Even president Wilson's partisan appeal to the Democrats In the Delaware legis lature failed to bring results. It was received much as was his appeal two years ago for a Democrat congress. It might have been more effective if the president had mnde his plea on the basis of right and Justice. The suffrage question has never been other than one of right and wrong. To give the franchise to women is to restore to them the full rights of citi zenship of which hitherto they have been deprived. To withhold the privi lege is wrong and that is all there is or ever has been to the question. Alexander Howat seems to feel that the slavery question once more is the paramount issue in Kansas and ap parently aspires to be the John Brown of the occasion. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler appears to be engaged in an effort to prove that he was beaten out of the presi dential nomination by the use of money. But the chief cause of his failure to pet anywhere is President Wilson. The people are dissatisfied with their experiment of electing a schoolteacher to the position of chief executive. Soviet Russia is setting up claim to Constantinople under the treaty of 1915. But if the Russians wanted the Turkish capital for their own they should have stayed in the game and helped to take it. The claim is made, however, merely as an offset to a demaid that the country pay its debts. The Bolshev'ikl are clever diplomats and seem to be capable of holding their own with the allied nations. The scientists say it has been snow ing in Mars. It would be interesting to know, in this connection, whether the Martians had laid In their winter coal before the storm came. Homer Cummings, chairman of the Democratic national committee, .de clares that the Republican congress, which has Just adjourned, can be cred ited with one great constructive meas ure, and one alone. It provided pri vate baths in the senate chambers. It also should have provided a private laundry where party linen could be cleaned Instead of being washed on the floors of the twtf houses. The fame of a Kansas j statesman usually travels ahead of him The following Is culled from the Los An geles Times: Jouett Shouse, assistant secretary of the treasury. Is coming to Los Angeles to see our harbor and parenthetically look after the McAdoo fences in this part of California. Jouett was Jarred loose from his seat in the house from the Seventh Kansas district and is now officiating as one of the wet nurses of the McAUoo candidacy. Hiram Johnson's felicitation of Hnrding on Jhe latters nomination probably afforded a fair measure of the Californian's feeling. It consisted of the one word: "Congratulations." The efforts of Ohio Democrats to make the governor of that state the party's standard bearer in the na tional campaign are reported to have been greatly Increased since Harding was nominated. Backed by state pat ronage and the postmasters. Governor Cox should be a strong contender for the state's electoral vote, and this fact may appeal strongly to the San Fran cisco convention. The American consul at Nogales, Bonora, Mexico, has reported to Wash ington that the consulate certified in voices on June 1 for 2,711,377 pounds of sugar valued at 1590,933 for ship ment to the United States, and that the warehouses are reported full of sugar. From this it appears that there is yet left in the world enough sugar to last a few days If only the consumer can get hold of it. WORK FOR THE LEAGUE. The League of Nations has scarcely begun to function, yet it has work piled' mountain high awaiting it. "Jolshevlk forces are invading Ar menia, Persia, and the new states bor dering on the Caspian sea, and threat ening Poland. Under the terms of the cove-ant the W.gue members are bound to protect those countries from assaults from without. The inhabitants of Poland and Czecho-Slovakia are reported to be on the verge of a break because of the actions of a plebiscite commission ap pointed to determine boundary differ ences between themr All factions of the Czechs have united In a demand that the commission be withdrawn and another substituted which will have a closer knowledge of local conditions and be not so partial to the Poles. Under the terms of the covenant the league members 're bound to remove any cat:se "which threatens to disturb either the peace or the good understanding- between nations upon which peace depends." With her productive energy destroyed,-and beset b- enemies on ev ery side, Armenia is in greater need of the friendly protection of another power -than any other part of the ter ritory relinquished by the central pow ers as a result of the war. The rich, undeveloped colonies of Germany in Africa and the Pacific were eagerly snapped up as mandates by members of the league, but poor Armenia is shunned by all and a way la sought to throw the burden of her protection upon the United States. Germany Invaded certain forbidden areas. France undertook counter in vasions of Germany, in precise accord with the treaty'" provisions for such contingencies. The League of Nations not only refuced to assist France in meeting the renewed threat of war from Germany but actually sought to restrain the French from taking ob vious measures of self-protection, al tho the covenant stipulates that "any threat of war Is hereby declared a matter of concern to the whole league." It seems clear that the league needs the counsel and guiding hand of a na tion like the United States, with no political fish to fry. WHY SUGAR IS HIGH. The plain truth of the matter, bluntly put, says "Facts About Sugar," is that there is not enough sugar to go around if everybody seek to obtain as much as he may want, or even as much as he was accustomed to use before the war. Either we must stint ourselves until production catches up with demand or we must pay prices which will draw, sugar frbm other markets and force other consuming nations to get along with less even than their wartime supply. High prices or universal rationing is the only alternative. One factor in the present sugar sit uation that has received little or no discussion, but that operates very ma terially to modify producers' returns, says the same authority. Is the vastly increased cost of production. Sugar producers declare that the cost of pro ducing sugar has grown with other costs, till today prices that would have been out of the way some years ago are in reality reasonable. Jn 1913 and 1914, it is pointed out. many sugar producers were' so reduced financially that they were, considering cropping their lands and abandoning them. Today prices that are admitted ly advantageous to them prevail, but as compared with prices of other foods and taking Into consideration the sim ple methods used to produce these 83 against the expensive machinery nec essary to sugar production, these prices, the sugar producers argue, are not at all Out of keeping. Most of the sugar lands, It is said are old lands that must be fertilized before cane can be grown on them. Fertilizer containing potash was avail able before the war at $50 to 360 a ton; the same fertilizer, minus the pot ash, today costs from (110 to $120 a ton, which Is about enough to" fertilize five acres of land, yielding on an aver age of 20 tons of canet or around 21 tons of sugar. Labor costs fully three times as much as it did before the war, so that the cultivation of an acre, which be fore could be reckoned at $25 to $30, now costs as high as $100. Cutting of the cane, which before the war cost SO to 60 cents a ton now costs $130 to $1.40. Transport to the mill Is figured at treble the old amount in view of In creases in labor and fuel prices. La bor and maintencr-.ce of mills has more than trebled. The, cost of pro ducing a ton of sugar before the war, so fat as milling alone went, exclusive of the purchase of the cane, ran around $15. Today the milling of a ton of sugar costs from $60 to $70. Another item that Increases the cost of putting sugar on the market is the cost of freight. From Porto Rico, for example, freight to New York was for merly 14 cents per 100 pounds; today It Is 40 cents. Insurance and weigh ing charges increase with the cost of the sugars In proportion. In addition to all of these charges, the sugar producer is put to a further burden, owing to the lack of steamers to nrove his crop at the proper time. Since the shipping board took charge of allotting ships, -it has been impos sible to move all of the sugar crop out of the tropical producing coun tries before the hurricane season, the result of which is the imposition on the producers of the burden of storage in warehouses and of insurance, both of which Items are expensive. A re cent contract on hurricane insurance ranged between $12,000 and $14,000 on a lot of from 60,000 to 0,000 bags of sugar. Evening Story A Summer Idyll. BY JESSIE DOUGLAS; Priscilla sat on her own white steps with her slim arms clasped about her knees and listened to the thin notes of the victrola that drifted down to her from the house above. I It was early summer and Helen and Catharine and Jane were taking ad vantage of It, talking and laughing and dancing away the summer night, while here she Priscilla sat getting lonelier and lonelier every minute. Not that she blamed any of those girls, they were her friends; nor the boys who had left her out. Instead she thought they were quite right to choose Helen and Catharine and Jane and let her stay here on her white steps alone. For those men as Priscilla called them rfrightened her so. The more she tried to talk to them, the more the words froze on her lips, and the more she longed to run away, until finally she did run,, wishing all the time that someone would be bold enough to free her from the prison-house of her shy ness. When she had climbed the stairs to her own room much later she stood before the mirror and looked in very seriously and very sternly at herself. Altho she could not see them in this light she knew how those seven freckles lay across the bridge e-4 her high little nose.- "If I wasn't quite so plain," Pris cilla told the reflection sadly as she turned away beforeshe saw the glit tering drops that made her wide green eyes like the eyes of a mer maid. She put out her light and knelt down beside the open window. She let down her hair about her shoulders, hair that was like rusty gold and framed her face softly like the face of a Botticelli madonna. She stayed there very still watching the moonlight that did glamourous things to the garden, and lent a silver pallor to the patch of grass beneath her window. All the loneliness and the tiny hurt smoothed itself away and she lingered there feeling the ca ressing fingers of a stray breeze that ruffled her hair about her white face. But the very next day Priscilla had forgotten that she was "left out." She always did forget it with girls, for Helen and Catharine and Jane thought she was "a dear" and no party would be complete without her if it was Just girls. "Priscllla's so different with girls!" Helen laughed. "She's such a darling, anyway, but any one can see she's frightened to death of men; and it's much kinder to let her do as she pleases." The girls had been down to "the village," as they called their over grown town, to shop and Jane had se lected a blue dress because she said Harris liked blue, while she blushed Just the tiniest bit. Helen had chosen a yellow muslin, to be made up with ruffles, altho she did not say why she had chosen yel low, and Catharine had picked out a pink sprigged dimity. Priscilla could not resist the temptation; she knew she might not need that pale' green or gandie that looked like the foam of a sea wave would not need it, in fact; but it was not so expensive. And then the girls were all going to make the dresses themselves. She might be left out when they wore them, but not when they made them. They had boarded the" car. al most taking up a whole seat them selves, and while' the others discussed tucks and pockets, ruffles and gathers, Priscilla fell to dreaming. For right in front of her sat the kind of a man she had always wanted to know. She knew he was the kind Just from the back of his head. His ears were so well shaped and so close to his head and his collar was so white about his blue serge shoulders and his hair was so satiny smooth then Priscilla noticed a aueer thing, for as she watched him r, red tide be gan to mount from that neck to the very tips of those well shaped ears. She saw then that the conductor was standing beside him and saying. "Fare, please!" while he searched first in one pocket and then the other. He didn't have a cent, Priscilla knew it! She reachd forward and slipped her last nickel into his hand and she felt the coolness of his fingers and then she heard, "Priscilla! Priscilla! Don't you know you get off here?" Catharine and Helen and Jane had. already Jumped off and were stand ing in the road laughing and calling to her. Priscilla stepped down very quickly, thankful from the depths of her heart that they had not seen what she had done. They teased Priscilla a moment for dreaming, and said, "Who is he, Pris cilla?" and to their amusement Pris cilla flushed hotly right up to the roots of her hair; but fortunately they didn't know of what she was thinking and fortunately they had their dresses to plan, which was much the more important. Priscilla stitched and seweds and tucked and ruffled -with the rest, and when she had finished they all agreed that her dress was "adorable"; but she knew ihat there would be no one to care particularly if she did look like a tiny lost mermaid in that nile green organdie. But Just th i same she put it on that evening and went out to sit under the moonshine on the white steps. She sat down very carefully, so that not one of the precious ruffles would be crushed, and she knew she -was very lovely. But what she did not know was that to teh man who came whistling along the white walk she looked like a moon fairy. Just'then her mother called, "Priscilla!" and she darted indoors, to find when she had come out a few minutfs later that atatl figure was standing on her white steps. "Miss Priscilla?" he asked very gravely. And Priscilla's heart began to beat very hard, and a lump grew in her throat- and she knew she would never be able to say a word to this good looking stranger. "I think I owe you this," he said, holding out a shiny nickel. "Oh how did you know Pris cilla managed to gasp. "I'll tell "you all about It, if you'll let me sit down here on the lowest steps?" It was the, fact that he had come to this very street and walked down under the trees listening at each cor ner for some clew that would show him where "Priscilla" lived, for he had heard the name as she Joined the others yesterday morning1. After he had come to thank her, he wanted to stay very much. And after he had left her he knew he would have to come back "again the next evening if she would let him. And Priscilla, sitting in -Jier little green dream on the white steps of the porch, knew that she was not go ing to be "left out" again. And be cause she must do something, she leaned down and plclced up the nickel that she had laid on the edge of the step, while at this ver moment at the end of the street a young man with satiny hair above a very white collar was whistling a very gay tune I and thanking his stars that he had found the girl he had always dreamed about. I (Copyright, 1920, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) Dorothy Dix Talks I BY DOROTHY SIX I Waild's Highest Paid Womaa Writer. I We Only Reap What We Sow 2. We ara called upon to listen to no tale of woe so often as that of the wife who wails that her husband has grown indifferent to her. that he has ceased to care for her, or to enjoy her society and that he is at home as little as possible. Nine times out of ten the woman who tells you that she has lost her husband's love is so unattractive that only a man who was a miracle of faithfulness could have retained any sentiment for her. She has allowed herself to become physically unallur ing. She has ceased to comb her hair and powder her nose, and her clothes look as if they had been pitchforked at her. Worse still she ha grown dull and stupid as a companion. She never reads. She has never anything brignt and interesting to talk about. She whines and complains, and when her husband comes home it is to a dreary, ill kept house, and to have to listen to a peevish, fretful., discontented wife grouching because she has to worry! over children and servants, and can't! have everything, rich women have. Why should such a woman ever hope that her husband will find her attractive? What is there about her to intrigue any man's fancy? What is there in a home that is the abode of all the glooms to draw a tired man to it after his hard day's work? Such a woman is too lazy, and snut less, and selfish to take the trouble to keep her domestic garden plowed, and seeded, and worked, and It is her fault when the heartsease are choked out by the weeds. Because her husband loved her once, she thinks he will love her al ways, no matter how unkissable she becomes. Which is a fatal error. Love is not a perennial that re news itself year after year. Rather it is a one day flower that has to be planted anew every morning in a man's soul if a woman wants to keep herself perpetually adorned with it. If a wife wishes to reap constancy in her husband she must sow the seeds' of charm, of agreeability, of personal in terest from which constancy grows. This truth, that we cannot reap where we have not sown, is one that parents should impress with peculiar earnest ness Just now upon their children, for the young have grown impatient ui the old, slow, plodding method of win ning success, and are hunting for some short cut to it. And there is none. Boys and girls are not willing to put in the labor, or take the time to learn how to do their work thoroly. They demand big salaries that they cannot earn, and they change from occupa tion to occupation, and position to position, seeking the mythical Job with no work, short hours, and a fat pay envelope,- which they never find. They should be made to understand that before they can command high pay they must be able to do good work. Before they can hold responsi ble positions they must be fitted to fill the places of authority. Before they can command they must have submitted to authority themselves. In a word, before they can reap the har vest of success they must hav tilled the oil and sown the seed in sweat of soul and body. For that is the law of nature we cannot reap where we have not sown and the law never changes. T (Copyright, 1920. by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BOOK BY LEE P.VPE.

JUST A GIRL By JANE PHELPS A LUNCHEOX FATHER DISAP PROVED. CHAPTER 16. 'vVe had lunch at Delmonico's. Mother had made me promise only to J lunch at certain places unless she were along. She didn't mean with men but with the girls. She didn't believe in girls lunching' unchaperoncd when there was a man along. But I didn't see how I could very well refuse when Claudia had accepted so enthusias tically. Anyway. Mr. Sanders was so old, so much older than we were, she could not possibly object. So I went along with an easy conscience. I guessexperience does count. Mr. Sanders ordered the most delicious luncheon. He seemed to know Just what I liked. The waiters all seemed to know him, and were most assiduous in their attentions. It was a different attention than waiters gave the young men, even men like Jack Pryor who gave scandalous sums as tips. It vas as if they respected Mr. Sanders's judgment. We had a lovely time. He bought us bath great bunches of violets, and when we had finished and were strolling down the avenue, he bought us each a box of bon-bons. Then he thanked us so nicely for giving him our time. You would naturally have thought we would have been the ones to say "thank you," not he. But he made us feel we had done him a real favor. When I spoke of it after we had left him. Claudia said: "I suppose he's had lots of practice." "What do you mean?" "In pleasing girls. He must be 35 years old, and he hasn't married yet. ana is always with some woman or girl. I guess he has had plenty of chances to learn what pleases us." "I think he is lovely!" I enthused. So do I!" I told mother we lunched with Mr. Sanders, of course. At first she didn't look one bit pleased. But when I told her all about it, she laughed and said: "I expect you and Claudia seemed like two little girls to him. But I would rather you didn't do it again." Dad frowned when he heard about "He's altogether too old for you, Zena. Stick to the boys when you want an escort. I don't like the idea of a man as old as Sanders running around with two children like you and Claudia. I anj sureMr. Shephard would feel just as I do." It was o unusual for Dad to ex press himself so strongly that I was puzzled and asked him if he had any thing asainst Mr. Sanders. -"'Don't you like him?" I queried, when he told me he had nothing at all against him. "Yes, Sanders is all right. But he's too old for you. As I said stick to the boys." I was sure by Dad's voice there was some reason he wouldn't ex plain to me, but I said no more. I was sorry I couldn't go again if Mr. San ders asked me. We had had such a nice time. I told Claudia what Dad had said. "My father was real cross about it, too," she confessed. "He said almost exactly what your father did, that Mr. Sanders was tojo old for me, and that he didn't like it. And he made me promise I wouldn't go anywhere with him again." ."I guess they have something against him. Maybe he has been awfully gay," I suggested, almost whispering as the thought came. "That might be so. Perhaps he has deceived some girl or something and they know it. It would be Just like Dad to keep it to himself. I think we are old enough to be told WHY we shouldn't do things, don't you Zena?" "Indeed I do!" My answer was emphatic altho, to be honest, I never had given the subject a-single thought. "I shall be 20 in 10 months." "And I in seven." "Twenty is old enough to know things." I mused. "I think 19 is. I'll bet lots of girls younger than we are. are a great deal wiser in many ways." "Never mind, Claudia," it was mother's laughing voice, "you will have plenty of time to grow wiser. Don't despair." (Tomorrow Breakfast chats.) Moulton Musings BY ROT K. MOCLTOX. Isn't It True THAT many a 'bank robber was once some mother's "angel child"? THAT some of us are so easily convinced that we even believe inr ourselves? THAT it is absurd to expect a square deal from a one-sided man? THAT many a girl is on the shelf today because she kept men on the rack yesterday? THAT as one grows older one gets to look less like oneself and more like the life one has led? THAT love of money is also the root of much matri-mony? THAT many of us save something up for a rainy day but the other fellow gets it? THAT no man is rich enough to buy back the past or tomorrow?

HEART AND BEAUTY PROBLEMS BT ELIZABETH THOMPSON, Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am in love with a young ma a about twenty years of age. Of couse l.e doesn't know that. He is about ten years my senior and a minister's son. Do you think it advisable for me to show him I like him? -f so, how should I attempt it? SERIOUS. It would not be advisable for you to show the young man you like him. You are hero-worshipping and have built an ideal about the man which would crumble if you were to become acquainted. You might like him upon acquaintince, but you would find him quite different from wha you im agine him tj be. Content yourself with the tangible. You will be happier if you take an interest in the young people of your own age who show an interest in you.

"Stacking wheat properly so it will shed water is almost a lost art," says a wheat bulletin issued by the State Agricul tural college. But, it continues, this lost art is bound to become revived this season. Farmers are warned that due to car shortage it will be impos sible to market much of the wheat promptly. wnere granaries, even temporary structures, galvanized tanks or other kind of shelter is not avail able, stacking, properly done, will an swer tne purpose. "Wheat well stacked, especially bundle wheat, will keep for several months," the bulletin says. "But if allowed to stand out in the shock for any considerable- length of time, more or less damage is sure to result and it is quite likely to deteriorate in quality two or three grades." Taking the crop as a whole it is es timated that it wilUtake 60,000 cars to move the Cansas wheat to market, taking into consideration that the farmers will retain about 10,000.000 bushels for seed and that probably five or six million bushels will be hauled by wagon direct to mills. i "The car shortage is intolerable at j present and it promises to become much worse," the statement continues.

Phone 5842 1,1 On a Hot Day the CHALMERS Runs Cool with Hot Spot and RamVhorn THE reason the Chalmers runs cool on a hot day is the very same reason a Chalmers starts quickly and runs smoothly on a cold day. Service records show no complaints of overheating in summer. Such trouble in other cars comes from unevenness or the charges, "improperly digested fuel," and other matters often attributed to the raw, heavy, inferior gasoline you buy today. Hot Spot transforms such "gas" into a fine vapor cloud," just right for quick combustion. RamVhorn hurries it at a velocity ot 100 miles an hour through "easy air bends" to the cylinders. Thus follow power results that are smooth and even; and notably absent are those troubles that cause an en' gine to overheat, or burned bearings, or scored cylinders, or frequently fouled spark plugs and the like". Engage a Chalmers owner in conversation about his car. He will tell you Chalmers is one of the few great cars of the world. Sir BUTLER MOTOR CO.

Alkali in Shampoos Bad For Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. i The best thins to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaselees.

Chief ot Poli e and Chief of Detec tives Quarrel at Station. A row between George. G. Hannan, chief of police, and Clyde Tresner, chief of detectives, which has been brewing for several weeks broke out at police 4 headquarters Wednesday night when a dispute occurred over the arrest of Alfred E. Fuller, who has confessed he is a deserter from the Seventy-ninth artillery. There is a reward attached to the capture of a deserter. The name of Detective Jesse Hill was written on the police blotter as Fuller's captor. The blotter showed at the time that the name of Clyde Tres ner, chief of police, had been written there and erased. Tresner walked into the station. He demanded to know who erased his name and rewrote it. Chief of Police George G. Hannan noted Tresner's ac tion. He ordered Tresner to never write his name on the blotter again. Tresner claimed that he was en titled to one-half the reward as It was thru an interview with Fuller after his arrest that the discovery was made that he was a deserter. Hill says he captured the man in Garfield park.

T "On With the Dance" Is the title of the picture but not the title of the spe cialty to have been produced by Miss Vera HennlcL 1 Vera played "Off With the Iance.M Instead of coming to Topeka to fill a two-day en ca cement for Miss Wright. Vera hiked herself off to New York. A local girl is substituting for the four days. She appears as the "masked dancer" and it's a secret, until Saturday night, who she Is but you can take it from me, .she is a pretty keen limber legged person and puts it over in good shape (to be correct I should soy with good shape). So now that we have that settled let's take up something else the picture for instance. When It left home, "On With the Dance" is said to have been a wild and wauton child warranted to produce a shock in any respectable society. A brief encounter with the censors, however, had a most calming effect and a siege of sub-titling reduced this latest Artcrnft darliug to a state of near conventionality if not quite pure, still not too peppy. I never ronld Quite get the idea of starring Miss Mufray. Tho she has a certain prettiuess. and cuteness, and agility, she appears ail surface. In joyous moods she seems to twinkle brass iiy, and you don't need a press agent to tell you her tears spring from onion or glycerin fountains. However, In roles like that of Sonia, the dancer, she displays quite perfect understanding. There is another appeal in the picture, that being David Powell. And personally I like Alma Tell better thnn any of the others. The production has everything from sex appenl to swift movements, the ablest sort of direction and the celebrated brand of Paramount-Artcraft photography. George Fltzmaurlce did the directing. And a good Job of it he made. The story is peculiar and good. It Is entertaining, ex citing, and is expensively put together. Outside of "Why Change Your Wife?" this is one of the best Paramount-Artcrnft re leases 1 have seen for some little time. Orpheum. This popular theater has a hum-dlnger starting today. You all remember what a great little actorette Dorothy Dal ton can be when she wants to be. Well nhe wants to be better than ever in The Dark Mirror," which opens a three-dny engage ment at the Orpheum today. Miss Dalton plays a wonderful part of a right nice sort of a girl who is all mixed up with a set of low brow crooks and what a sweet party she has before she gets thru. But that is enough about it now, you trot over to ee it; I feel quite certain you will like it. So, you tell them rouge, my lips sticks. And I guess that will be about all. N. S A.

"The Chinese nation Is rapidly com ing to take its place among the fore most of the world powers,' declared George Lerrigo, Y. M. C. A. secretary, returned from the Chinese field In aa address today noon b'efoTe the Rotary I club at their regular meeting at Uie j Chamber of Commerce. j "Too many people judge the Chinese i race as a whole by the type of Chinese J laundryman in the United States," con- tinued Lerrigo. "and this has proved to j be an entirely erroneous idea. Many or tne Dusiness men in China have the same characteristics that you men have, only they talk Chinese, live in China and dress differently." Lerrigo is a brother of Dr. C. H. Lerrigo of Topeka, and is well known here. A delightful musical program was given at the meeting. Paul Lawless and Miss Louise Hutton sang solos. Mrs. Henry Ootterweich and Mrs. Clyde Ferris sang a. duet. All the numbers were heartily encored. E. H. Piersen was introduced to the Rotarians as a new member. RELATIONS WERE IMPROPER? Officers Investigating Topeka Young People's Trip to St. Marys. A fourteen-hour automobile ride by two girls working for the Mutual laun dry is under investigation by Tinkham Veale, assistant county attorney, and Miss Eva Corning, probation officer. The girls were placed in the deten tion home today following their re turn from St. Marys at 2 o"clock this morning in company with two Topeka boys in an automobile. An uncle of one of the girls complained, and the entire morning was spent by the two officers in an endeavor to learn wheth er the boys had improper relations with the girls. The girls denied any thing improper had occurred. Both are under age. According to the story told by the girls; the two boys drove up in front of the laundry during the noon hour Wednesday and invited them to go rid ing. The girls said the boys took them to St. Marys and bought dinner for them and returned at o'clock this morning. They told officers they were not certain about the names of the boys. SLOW DECLINE IX POTATOES. Definite Market Break Will Come When Kw Valley Crop Shipped. A slow and small decline in the price of potatoes is being felt in To peka, according to local produce men. "Spuds" can now be bought for $10 a hundred wholesale. No material decline is expected, however, until the Kaw valley crop gets in condition to ship. This probably will not be until about July 1, a It ho there may be enough for local, consumption before that time. This will mean a break in the market, it was said. A few days ago potatoes were selling here for $12 wholesale, then dropped to $11 and finally to $10.

THIN, FRAIL FOLKS NEED PHOSPHATE Nothing X.lk Plain Bltro-Phosphate to Pat on Firm, Healthy Flenh and to Increase Strength, Vigor and Nerve Force. Judging from the countless preparations and treatments which are continually being advertised for the puritose of making thin people fleshy, developing arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men aad wo- m e n w n o keenly feel their exces sive thinness. T h i n ness and weakness are often due to starved nerves. Our bodies need more phos phate, thnn is contained in modern foods. P h y slci ans claim there is otoKGiA Hamilton, nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as bitro-phosphate. which is luex)ensive and is sold by most ail druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money bock. By feeding the nerves di rectly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric fond ele ments, bltro-phosphnte should produce a welcome transformation in the appearance; the Increase in weight frequently being astonishing. Increase In weight also carries with It a general Improvement in the health. Nerv ousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy,, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes ought to brighten, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who was once thin and frail, reporting her own experience, writes "Bitro-Phosphnte has brought about a magic transformation with ine. I gained 15 pounds and never before felt so well. CAUTION While Bitro-Phosphate is unsurpassed for the relief of nervousnts, general debility, etc., those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh should use extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods.
