Want "o Delay on Annual Ap propriation Bills. WILL RESCIND KO WAR DEBTS Congress Can't See Why Ameri cans Should Stand Burden. Want Funds Due to Relieye Strain on Treasury. "Washington, Dec. 11. The house voted unanimously today to curtail its Christmas recess in order to take up the annual appropriation bills without delay. On motion of Representative Mon ell, the Republican leader, the house agreed to adjourn on Thursday, De cember 23, and reassemble the fol lowing Monday instead of adjourning for two weeks as heretofore. The house rules committee today recommended immediate action on the resolution of Senator Smoot of Utah, looking toward a reorganization of the government departments. The resolution provides for a Joint senate and house committee to frame organization plans. It passed the sen ate at the last session. Hurry Wartime Repeals. Expedition of the Volstead resolu tion repealing the war laws was rec ommended to the house today by the rules committee. Consideration of the resolution may be started in the house late tonight. Supporters of the joint resolution reviving the war finance corporation as a farmer-relief measure were con fident of victory when a vote on the resolution was reached today in the senate. General agreement for final nction on the measure was reached at the conclusion of the debute yesterday, which brought forth little opposition. A resolution requesting -President Wilson to reconsider his .refusal to name an American representative to the League of Nations commission on disarmament was introduced today by Senator Walsh, Montana. Start Hevenue Hearings, Hearings on revenue revision will be started next Monday before the house ways and means committee, Chairman Fordney announced today. Dr. Thomas S. Adams, treasury tax expert, will appear to explain the rec ommendations of Secretary Houston for Increased taxes. Hurry Pence Resolution. Expedition of the resolution repeal ing the war laws was asked of the house rules committee today by Rep resentative Volstead, Minnesota, its author. It is planned to bring It up In the house next week. Final Action on Immigration. Final action on the bill to suspend immigration for one year was expected In the house today. Altho the suspension period was re duced from two years to one year, op position to the measure is not consid ered strong enough to defeat it. Take Vp I'uropean Debt The question of how Europe's in debtedness of nearly $10,000,000,000 to the United States can be utilized to relieve the strain on the treasury will be considered soon by the senate fi nance committee. Senator McCumber, acting chairman of the committee, said today. Senator Smoot. Republican member of the finance committee, also said the question would be taken up soon, but neither he nor McCumber think anything can be done at this session of congress. It Is believed, however, some plan may be decided on at this session for execution when President elect Harding takes office. Conversion Chief Idea. One plan of realizing on the allied debt Is to arrange for conversion of certificates of indebtedness of the for eign nations held by the treasury into bonds of these governments. "The debts are secured by demand certificates of indebtedness, subject to payment on demand," said Senator McCumber. "Hut the foreign nations have no money and it is no use to de mand the payment. In negotiation with the foreign nations I believe it oulrt be arranged to chancre this pa per into government bonds." None Will Bo Rescinded. Senator Simmons, Democrat, North Carolina, suggested that the American people .could take up the foreign bonds but Senator Smoot, while emphasizing the foreign peoples are in "no shape" to underwrite such bonds, questioned the advisability of putting the burden on the people of the United States. While there is an evident desire on the part of congress to reduce the al lied indebtedness, it was made plain today by Senator Smoot that there is no possibility of congress rescinding the debt or any part of it without proper liquidation.

Peace With Germany of Teuton Cables for America. BY L. C. MARTIN. United Press Staff Correspondent. Washington, Dec. 11. Congress is becoming disturbed about the game of international "freeze out" in which the United States seems to many leg islators to occupy the position of vic tim. There is a growing disposition among many legislators to regard as imperative the speedy resumption of I peaceful relations with the central I powers in r.urope as tne most exiec- tive way of beating this game. Some members of the house and senate who have discussed this question intend to urge President-elect Harding to ini tiate separate peace negotiations and commercial treaties with Germany and Austria, as soon as he takes office. A leading member of the senate fweign relations committee who con sented to discuss the general situation today on condition that he be not named, said that the revelations to the committee yesterday by Norman Davis, acting secretary of state, re garding the disposition ot former Ger man cables, threw much light on the efforts of some wartime .associates of i the United States to take advantage of this country now. He summarized the "plays" thus my Seals Youths Now Steal Lip Sticks- From The Fair Sex Bluffton, Ind., Dec. 11. "Lipstick or rouge, sir?"

Washburn college was given th 1920 championship of the Kansas con ference by a decision of the conference officials here today. On recommenda tion of the championship committee, Dillon, backfield player on the Em poria Normal team, was declared in eligible and the' 7 to 7 tie game played between Washburn and Emporia Nor mal was declared forfeited to Wash burn, making the Topeka college of ficii 1 standing for the season IK.

Emporia State Nor mal faculty representative, and chair man of the championship committee on the conference, announced the findings of the committee at 2:00 o'clock this afternoon aa follow: 'In view of the findings of the pro- test committee, which eliminated Dll- IoIlj Emporia Normal, on ineligibility I nnHf thn Wfletlhlirn.lTtnnn, a Vnmnal I game, which ended in a 7 to 7 tie. will be forfeited to Washburn as a victory. Washburn, with an average of 916. and honorable mention goes to Friends with an average of 888." Hodges of Fairmount college was also declared Ineligible and all games in which he participated were declared forfeited to the opposing teams. The ruling out of Hodges was made the occasion of some argument on the part of the Fairmount representatives, who declared the college had not been given sufficient opportunity to defend the use of Hodges in games this fall. Object to Tie Ruling. Professor Phipps made objection to the conference ruling now in force counting a tie game as one-half lost and one-half won and made a motion that the rulings of other conferences on tie games be investigated by a com mittee to report at the meeting in May, 1921. A motion by Doctor Parmatler of Baker was substituted, allowing the committee to make any other sugges tions for changes in rulings found nec-essa..- or advisable. The motion car ried unanimously. Track Meet to Emporia. W. B. Wilson, professor at Ottawa university, will represent the state of Kansas at the annual meeting of the Chicago National Athletic association at Chicago this winter. Professor Phipps of the Normal en tered a request to President Phillips that the annual track meet next spring be held at the normal athletic field at Emporia. A unanimous vote, was taken in favor of this request. The normal field is a large one and Emporia is an easy point to reach for both eastern and western teams. Nothing to Rumors. Following an address on "Shall We Give A, B- Credit for physical Train ing," Dr. J. F. Phillips, of Southwest ern university, delivered a short talk in which he urged all coaches and faculty members of Kansas confer ence schools to discourage rumors of slanderous nature concerning other conference schools. Dr. Phillips cited several instances In which rumors started, utterly unfounded, and were later found to be false, after consid erable excitement had been aroused. "Some of these rumors." said Dr. Phillips, "concerned the way in which athletes were induced to attend respec tive schools. In one instance a man left a certain conference school in the middle of the term. Immediately after his departure a man enrolled In South western. His name was identically the same as the man who had dropped out. On the face of it. Southwestern seemed to have taken this man from the other school. Naturally the con ference i thought Southwestern had used illegal methods in getting this athlete. The rumors reached me. and upon investigation I ascertained that the men were entirely different, altho their names were identically the same. Methods Not Sanctioned. -"Business men of the town In which a school is located, and alumni of the school oftentimes employ methods to get athletie stars which are not sanc tioned by the school proper," Doctor Phillips continued.

There are many moves' on the board for this winter. There are many fish to fry before the legislators start home to theis. early spring plowing and even the Press club may not suggest all the cooking at its gridiron dinner Monday night tho the Lord knows they will suggest a-plenty. Governor In 1923. Just who is to succeed Gpvernor Al len in 1923 is one of the big vital things which most really smart legis lators will try to keep in mind. The medicine making and the plays for position will have a whole lot to do with the voting even tho everyone is loath to admit it. While the legisla ture is coming to Topeka from a pure and holy primary and will be backed by voices of all the people and free from crime or suspicion just the same, it will be a human legislature. Kansas some years ago changed her laws with a view of elevating public officials from a political mire to a throne o righteousness. But the change In laws didn't change human nature. And most of the really, truly human members of the legislature and there are almost 165 of them will probably give some heed as to the effect which their acta in January, 1921 will have in November. 1922. Consequently the little flock of gu bernatorial windmills which may be in evidence in a few weeks might be mistaken for a new ICansas oil field. Therein federal patronage may count for much. Many Prospects In Sight. There is slim probability that any one expects to succeed Governor Al- "All aboard," says Tom.

Even Judge Clyde M. Reed, Attorney Gen eral Hopkins and others who might be loaned the Kansas City Star halo, wouldn't object to just a wee bit of help from the Curtis-Capper-Mulvane forces augmented by eight perfectly good congressmen who seem to be working in first class harmony and ac cord. f Just as things seem to size up at this time, the federal pie repository will have a considerable amount of available space after March 4. On the other hand Governor Allen has distributed practically all of his pa tronage except bank commissioner. In order to keep legislative interest glued to administration plums, he must make shake-ups in existing boards and departments or create new Jobs. The legislators are indicating- in advance a distaste for creation of new jobs. To disturb personnel of existing boards of departments is a rather ticklish matter. But if the state administra tion is to match trading stocks with the federal crowd this winter, it must offer something more than left over Happy New Tear cards. Win Mean Much This Winter. The manner In which the situation is handled will mean much before the winter is over. Governor Allen's abil ity to put thru his program will be determined considerably by his ability to look after some member or some member's friend who needs some thing. Just now he has nothing to give. And once the old feud of last spring breaks out, there is the possi bility of a nice warm sixty-day battle between state and federal crowds. Out of one of these fights may come the lineup which will determine the alignments behind Reed, Hopkins, Pettijohn, Huffman, Morgarr, Lambert son, Huggins, Harvey, Price, Motter or any one of a half dozen other gubernatorial possibilities. It may come in the fight on some bill. It will more likely come in some organiza tion move. It is probable that the fight itself will be outlined and the course of battle defined by persons who do not vote in either house. But the effect of the new alignments in the party will doubtless be apparent long before the legislature goes home. Governor Wwt Forget. Nor in the plays on the checker board should Governor Allen's own po litical future be forgotten. There is little probability that the governor himself will forget, nor have his man agers show a tendency to be absent minded. The political dope all points to Gov ernor Allen's candidacy for the United States senate in 1924. While he has been mentioned as a cabinet possi bility, he has never been rated as a real strong probability for a place in the Harding official family. He didn't start with the Harding crowd and when he finally finished with them, persons not politically too chummy with the Allen organization had been in the reception room and selected the good seats long before Henry arrived. So while Governor Allen continues In cabinet possibility class, his stock shows the palpitations common among all speculative securities at this "time. Looking at Governor Allen for the senatorship in 1924 offers many oppor tunities for deductions. If he desires to -beat Senator Capper three and a half years hence, he must .win suffi cient strength in two yeafs to hold him in strong acclaim during the in terim between January 1922 and Au gust 1924. To gain such popularity means building of an organization and passage of laws which bring votes even after an official has been eighteen months out of the spotlight. There isn't much chance. appar ently, that the Capper following will stand on the side lines and cheer loudly for Allen this winter. They may not heave bricks at his windows. Probably will not. That is not the Capper way. In fact it is very proba ble the Capper publications will be kindly courteous. On the other Trand the Kansas City Star may be eTpected to kiss the governor each day in pub lic. But It all works along the even groove of things. Capper's courtesy and politeness and fine humility will be in evidence in the open. But the steel trap of the Capper organization may have the governor by the foot long before the general public knows anything about it. The Star's osculation will continue thruout the winter and spring -so long as the governor is obedient. In fact the Star may be expected to cheer fully accept Allen as the Moses to be used in 1924 to lead the state away from Capper who is now entering the Kansas City newspaper field. These things will all have their re flection in Topeka this winter. And it won't be the direct interest in the compensation law, the industrial court divorce bill, the welfare legislation, the good roads and tenantry plans that will always affect votes. It will be this constant seein of things at night the spook dances which will in some mysterious way shape issues and determine candidates in two succeed ing state-wide elections.

Approximately $5,500,000,000 was Collected by the federal government in taxes lor the fiscal year ended June i. Most of this came from in direct taxes, such as the excess prof- i iis tax, larm ana nign surtax rates i on income from business operations. For every dollar that went into the government pocketbook, several others went into the pocketbook of the busi ness men who collected the tax on the i article he manufactured or distrib-, uieu, isuveriunent economists say. Ac- cording to their rule, indirect taxes multiply the prices of most commodi ties from two to five fold. The federal government this year must collect at least J4, 000, 000,000 in taxes, according to Secretary Houston. This means the American people must pay from $8,000,000,000 to $15, 000,000,000 in increased taxes If In direct taxes are retained, it is esti mated. One form of indirect tax favored by some government officials as a means of reducing prices is the general tax on all sales proposed by some Repub lican leaders. "This would, be much cheaper for. the consumer than the present tax system," said Joseph S. McCoy, gov ernment actuary department. A tax paid by consumer at the time of pur chase is not multiplied." McCoy today pointed out that a 20 per cent tax on undisturbed profits of corporations as proposed by Secretary Houston probably would be paid by the stockholders rather than the cor poration. "No corporation would allow its profits to remain undisturbed," said McCoy. "It would be cheaper to bor row money at 7 and 8 per cent. The corporation security holders would have to pay the tax." EIGHTEEN ARE EXAMINED. City Health Department Has Busiest nay In Its History. Eighteen persons were examined at the tuberculosis clinic at the city health department Friday afternoon, the largest number ever examined at the city clinic. Two of the persons examined were found to be tubercular and two of them were put under care ful observation as tuberculosis sus pects. The work of the public health clinic has grown steadily within the last three months. In the three months since September 1, a total of 116 per sons have been examined. Thirty-one of that number were found to have the disease and nine have been under observation as possible tubercular cases. Dr. Forrest L. Loveland has conducted the examinations. The clinic has been the concerted work of the city health department, the Topeka Public Health Nursing Association, and the Red Cross. Many of the per sons examined were brought to the department by the Red Cross nurses employed, by the Public Health Nurs ing association. The money obtained from the sale of Christmas stamps for tuberculosis fighting will be used in Topeka in the public clinic. Instead of operating di rectly under the city board of health, the work will continue under the di rection of the Topeka Tuberculosis as sociation.

APPEAL FOU AID American Foreign Trade Corpo ration Needs Co-operation. Backers Say IT. S. Owes Service to Whole World. Chicago, Dec 11. World foreign trade la deadlocked and It is up to the j people of the United States to break it thru giving its wholehearted sup-1 port to the proposed establishment of the $100,000,000 foreign trade finance corporation, Paul M. Warburg, New York, and former, member of the fed eral reserve board, said la an exclusive interview here. Warburg: and other bankers meet- i ing here today hope to complete plans for the corporation before night. Organize for Service. "The United States has to organize itself to render service to the world," t said Warburg. "And on the other hand, the degree to which we can realize our power depends oh foreign countries. "Europe In that respect is a nucleus. for, unless Europe can buy Argentine goods, Argentina cannot buy United States products." 'Oifl ability to break the deadlock depends on two thing's: (11 On our mobilization for the task and the de gree to which we can mobilize our financial resources and, (2) On Eu rope's ability to create conditions which Are pre-requisite for extension of credits on a large scale." Warburg endorsed the views of Her bert Hoover and John McHugh, New York banker, that Europe must settle the German Indemnity in an intelli gent way. "we must also have an actual peace restored," he said. Warburg expressed the belief that the corporation will be beneficial to farmers. "The farmers should be behind the corporation for its effect will be to helo setting idle hands In foreign countries to work and to feed empty stomachs and in doing that our excess supplies will be moved from our mar kets, he said. Expect Action Today. Crystallization of plans and ideas for the formation of the corporation is expected to be reached at today's session. The committee on plan and scope. of which John H. Fahey of Boston is chairman, was scheduled to make its report on organization. The report 13 expected to be acted on late today. The conference was scheduled to adjourn today. SCOTTISH RITE ELECTS Fred Tolland, Chosen aa Master of Kadosh of Topeka Consistory.

Whitmore, prior; Louis It. vesper, preceptor: Frank S. Crane, minister of state; Frank L. Loveland, chancel lor: William W. Wilson, hospitaler; James B. Doncyson, registrar.

Spencer, assistant ex pert; J. F. .Jarreil, standard bearer; Samuel Alexander, captain of the guard. Reports of progress on the construc tion of the new temple were heard at the consistory meeting and were very encouraging. According to the report of E. H. Anderson, chairman of the council of administration, the con sistory has already paid $166,000 on the building, is ready to pay $192,000 for the structural steel, the first car load of which has already arrived. and has a balance of $102,000 on hand. More than $60,000 worth of the bonds for the construction of the temple have been sold without solicitation. A mid-winter reunion of the con sistory is to be held during the latter part of January, it was decided at the meeting Friday night, in addition to the regular semi-annual reunion next spring. SETTLE OLD FIGHT (Continued from Page On.l county was today relieved by the su preme court from payment of a judg ment because of death on a defective highway of Chet Fuller. The supreme court for the first time gave explicit decision as to the effect of the statutes requiring verified statements of claims for damages before suit can be main tained. Fuller was killed while ridine in an automobile. He struck a bad fill and his car overturned. Geo. S. Leisen ring, administrator, failed to present a verified claim to the township be- iore xi e niea suit in trie aistnct court. A jury returned judgment against the township, ftn passing on the appeal today the supreme court held that Fuller's administrator had failed both in Kivins: nroDer noticft and In nrnvinir mat township officials had prior knowledge of the condition of the road. The judgment was set aside. 'Can't Raise New Issues. When a person loses a suit In the district court there is no statutory provision whereby new Issues may be either raised or presented In an ap peal. That was the decision of the supreme court today when it affirmed a judgment of the Harvey county dis trict court wnere suit for George Ax tell, a minor, had failed. Geo. Axtejl, a 10-year-old Boy, was injured when a stone fell on him while he was playing In an alley. Suit was brought by the boy's next best friend, who alleged the city had prior knowledge of the dangerous condition of the stone. This allegation was not established to the satisfaction of a jury and the plaintiff appealed. In the supreme court It was alleged that the city was liable because the large stone was an ob struction In the alley. The court held this was a new issue and not pleaded in the origipal trial. For that reason the verdict of the lower court was af firmed. New Compensation Decision. A workman injured after he has quit his ordinary work at the end of tne day but who is still on the prem ises of the employer and under his direction, is entitled to compensation fbr injury under the provisions Of the workmen's compensation act.- This was the decision of the su preme court today In the suit of John Chance vs. the Reliance Coal Min ing company, appealed from the Craw ford county district court. Chance, who was' engaged In min ing coal in a strip pit, quit his ordi nary work at .the end of the day and with other employes rode upon an en gine toward the other end of the pit with a view of ascending to the Bur-

face, and while on his way the engine j on which, he was riding collided with, cars which had been insecurely placed j upon a switcn line. it was neta by tne courts that the accident arose out of and in the course of his employment. An error in computation of the judgment was corrected by reducing the amount from J2.268 to $2,169. TO FEED HUNGRY

The state committee will have Its organization completed, an. executive secretary will be selected, and a pub licity agency established at the meet ing Tuesday morning.. "We want to finish our campaign for raising $33,000,000 before the first of next year. The American Relief Administration has enough funds to carry on until that time. After Jan uary 1. the lives of three and a half million children depend on the results of this campaign," Doctor Guild said today. v The movement Is under the direc tion of Herbert Hoover, who admin isters the funds collected. The inoney which is given by Americans Is doubled by contributions from Euro peans themselves,, and yet there is only enough money to feed the very worst cases. One hot meal a day- is all the Americans are trying to give the children, and they are not fed un til a medical examination shows that they are in need of the food which the Americans hive to give away. There will be a preliminary meeting Monday night at which details of the organization of the state committee which is to take place Tuesday morn ing, will be worked out. W ILIi STUDX CONDITION'S.

MUST BE LAW ABIDING Talk of Terms and Peace Comes Afterward. Kigid Policy With Rebels Is Praised by London Papers. London, Dec. 11. Martial law In Ireland, initially applied to a limited area in the southwestern portion of that country, will be immediately ex tended, "should conditions develop subsequently justifying it." according to the latest proclamation issued by the Uritish government. The tiroclamation. which was sup plementary to Premier Lloyd Georse's announcement in tne nouse ui sum mons yesterday, stated: .Martial law will be initially applied to a limited area in southwest Ireland, where lawlessness and outrages have been especially prevalent. The gov ernment hopes it will be possible to confine its application to that area, but without hesitation, the area will he immediately extended should con ditions develop subsequently justify ing it More Troops Sent. A dispatch from Plymouth said that the second battalion or tne ecomsii ordered helri in readiness to proceed the Yorkshire light infantry have been ordered held in readiness to praoceed to Ireland. The premier's declaration that es tablishment of -martial law in a por tion of Ireland should aid rather than retard "peace negotiations" with the Sinn Feiners is welcomed by the Lon don newspapers. They declare that repression of crime should encourage the negotiations and agree that mar tial law. properly administered, is to be preferred to reprisals and terror ism, as it should permit the moderate Icir.cnts to work for "peace without four." If martial law is properly en forced, it will result merely in limit ing the license of the troops," the Daily Xews said. Must Vindicate Iaws. The Daily Kxpress "welcomes the policy of Lloyd (Jeorge. who spoke for the nation when he said that peace and friendship would be established after the laws are vindicated". "It is a step in the right direction," said the Daily Mail. "Martial law. however, will be tolerated only if full particulars of death sentences are pub lished. P,ritish public opinion will watch this closely." The Times congratulates the pre mier, declaring the proposals are "drastic but reasonable," and that "they should be preferred to the pres ent state of lawlessness." According to the Telegraph, the speech frankly places the "stark, es sential facts before the public. Mar tial law Is grave, but necessary. The step will be welcomed by many Irish men who are afraid to talk of peace thru fear of being murdered." New Sinn Fein Raids. Dublin, Dec. 11. Reports of new Sinn Fein raids outside the martial law zone today immediately led to speculation regarding possible exten ts on of the military area to include the additional affected territory. According to unofficial advices, armed bands attackeed the postoffice at cavan. the railway stations at Lon donderry and Armagh, and a mail train at the Inch station. A plant for the manufacture of bombs was discovered during an early morning raid today on a bicycle repair shop in Parnell street in the center of Dublin.

DELAY HIGHWAYPROGRAM Less Than One-Third of Mileage Under Contract Has Been Completed. During the last wto years the high way program has been subjected to one delay after another, until out of a mileage of 357.38 placed under con tract It has been Impossible to com plete more than 100 miles, according to the biennial report of the state highway commission made public to day. The report says that the de lays are chargeable to three primary reasons: first, lack of adequate rail transportation for materials; second, the shortage of materials; third, labor difficulties. "The first reason is the one that has caused more trouble in building high ways than the other two combined," the commission declares. "The in terstate commerce commission since the railroads left government control has been issuing priorities and restric tions which have operated against the highway work in almost every In stance, and even when special permis sion was granted to furnish equipment for hauling of materials for certain work it has been withdrawn shortly after permission was granted. As a large part of the materials entering into our highway program must be shipped by rail it has proven unusu ally difficult to carry on our program during the last two years. "Second: 'Highway work has in creased more rapidly during the last few years than has the production of materials required for highway con struction so that the demand lor ma terial exceeds our present available supply. There are undoubtedly many natural resources that have as yet been undeveloped which will eventually assist in rarrying- on the program ana every facility should be provided for the Investigations of our resources with a view to their commercial de velopment, "Third: lbor conditions have af fected the highway program as well as other, industries. Labor has been rather shiftless and inclined to be in different toward the work. Relays in receiving material requiring tem porary discontinuance of work, has usually caused the contractor to lose the bulk of his force. The necessity for reorganrzating upon again starting out not only delayed the work, but in creased the cosV THEY MEET HERE

Shawnee County Teachers Hold Conference Today. Corporal Punishment Is Not Necessary, Teacher Says. DR. BUTCHER CHIEF SPEAKER Head of Kansas State formal Says Salaries Too Low. Delegates Elected to State Edu cational Council. A vigorous discussion came up in the rural seciion of the Shawnee County Teachers' association this morning, as to what forms of punish ment were advisable. Mrs. Ella S. Burton, of the Rice school, maintained that punishment of the corporal variety is never neces sary, tho she was opposed in her stand by nearly every teacher present. "I have taught school for thirty-five years. I r.ever whipped a pupil but once and I have bitterly regretted that. When the teacher is unable to get a grip on the better side of her pupils and rule them without physical punishment. It indicates failure on the part of the teacher, and not on the part of the pupil." Mrs. Burton de clared. Mrs. Burton said that she had taught a school known as an ""out law" school, which had compelled the teacher before her to resign, and that she had been successful in securing discipline and obedience in that school by appealing to the better nature of the pupils, except in one case. One boy, the leader in the trobule, was beyond her. Boys Was Neglected. "I investigated and found that his parents were very intelligent people, but that the father was very busy and had been neglecting his.boy. I put it up to the parents in such a way that they went the limit in helping me to make him see the error of his ways," Mrs. Burton told the teachers. The majority of the pedagogues present stuck to their attitude that the best way to "get a grip" on the pupils was "by the back of the neck," in some cases, however. More Than 100 Present. The teachers, more than 100 in number, were from all the schools of the county. Their organization met at 10 o'clock this morning for group conferences in the High School build ing, at which the primary section was presided over by Miss Maud Snyder, the High School section by Supt. T. L. Bouse, of Oakland, and the grade school section by Miss Mary Schamahl. Following group, discussions of the various problems confronting them, the teachers gathered in a, general session which opened with music by Miss Margaret Gohlke and Miss Beth Gaston. Br. Butcher Speaks. Dr. Thomas Butcher, president of the Kansas State Normal, at Emporia, was the chief speaker at the general session, and declared to the teachers present that there was never such a bright future before the teaching and other professions as there is at the present time. Discusses Low Salaries. The present low salaries paid to teachers are caused by the fact that "anyone who wants to teach school, can teach school," Doctor Butcher declared. He said that the present low standards of admission to the profession explain why teachers are paid low salaries, under the law of supply and demand. Tradesmen and manual laborers are given higher wages than schoolteach ers because the experience and qual ifications which are demanded of them give them protection. The boy or girl who leaves high school or common school now. and is able to get a cer tificate under the present low stand ards, is the person who is making it difficult for the really trained and qualified teachers to draw decent sal aries. Doctor Butcher declared. Shortage of Teachers. There is a growing shortage of teachers, however, the president of the Normal school said, which, in the course of a few years is bound to re act, and give the teacher, a salary far above that which he or she is draw ing now. Not only money, .but power, will be in the hands of the teacher then. Doc tor Butcher said. "A man is what he is taught, to a tremendous extent," Doctor ButcheV declared. "Environ ment has little to do with it, but the teacher has the greatest possible power in leading the young people of the United States, and when there is felt a shortage of these leaders, the teach ers will come into their own." A move to enroll every school room in the county in the Junior Red Cross was started at the meeting today. Delegates were elected to the next meeting of the educational council of the state this morning. The Shawnee County Teachers' association will be represented by the' president, F. L.

The negroes, A. G. Martin and John Jack son, were arrested this morning. Profit, according to detectivesthen changed his story, saying he stopped in at the restaurant of N. L. Robins. 106 Kansas avenue, on his way home, where he saw Jackson. He agreed to a "little game" and took them to his room, he said. He claimed to have won all their money, after which Martin pulled out a gun and told him to "fork ever," he alleges. The negroes however, claim that there was no holdup and that they merely held the winning hands in such profusion that Profit and his $25 were soon parted. CXCOVER NEW BALIj SCANDAL.

The schools do not know of this, and can take no methods to stop it." Urges M. V. Rule. Doctor Phillips advocated the adop tion of the Missouri Valley rule, to the effect that no man can play inter-collegiate games until he has completed one years' work in the college. "I am in favor of this measure for several reasons," said Doctor Phillips. "In the first place, the first year a man attends college should be given over to study more than to athletics. If he Is trying for a team, he will nat urally have it continually in his mind, and his studies will suffer, and the primary reason for attending college should be for knowledge."

A dispute be tween Chile and Bolivia in the League of Nations assembly today has raised the possibility of the withdrawal of one country or the other from the ses sions. Geneva, Dec. 11. Disarmament in three stages is the substance of the recommendation the committee on armaments of the League of Nations will make to the assembly as the re sult of its deliberations. The first stage would be marked by an agreement among the powers to make no further increases in arma ments. The second stage of the rec ommendation is a gradual reduction in armaments. The third stage would be that of complete disarmament except insofar as arms were needed for police pur poses. M.

Committee Reports Deferred. Committees of the assembly of the League of Nations were called into ses sion this morning and the meeting of the assembly was deferred until 4 o'clock today. It was anticipated that when the assembly met, decision would be reached as to the manner of choos ing the four elective members of the council of the league. It has been decided by the commis sion on technical organization to send the United States a special invitation to name a member of the international advisory committee which will study the question of the opium traffic. The commission will also carry out provi sions relating to the opium traffic which were embodied in the Versailles treaty. Find Solution of Problem. Members of the international court committee have found what they hope tp be a solution of the jurisdiction problem that will satisfy those who have objected to this feature of the proposed international court. They have inserted a clause in the proposed plan which would provide that a state which is desirous of an arrangement by which an offended nation may cite an offender before the tribunal may signify its acceptance f the provision for obligatory jurisdiction would be come reciprocally binding upon all those nations which signify their ac ceptance. This is far from meeting the orig inal demands of some states, but hope is expressed that the .example fur nished by the first nations to accept the clause will be a moral force strong enough to oblige others to follow a similar course. Conditional acceptance by Holland of the Invitation of the League of Na tions to contribute a portion of the military force to be sept by the league to the Vilna district for the plebiscite there was announced today.

Oscar Carlson, present deputy, will be the next undersheriff of Shawnee county, according to an announcement today by Robert Miler, sheriff-elect. Carlson has been in the sheriffs jot tics for nearly four years and is re garded as admirably fitted for the new position. He was in the army over seas fifteen months with the Fifth engineers. Seventh division. Tom Hurley, new marshal of the court of Topeka, announces that he will retain Charles Lvfle. denntv un der Frank Leech, as his own deputy. Lytle has been in the officla several years, is young and active and re garded as. one of the best detectives in ithe county. Retain Present Force. Oran Layton, register of deeds, will retain his present office force, con sisting of Miss Flora. Stratemever and Miss June Mitchell. Miss Stratemever has been first deputy for two years and is thoroly efficient. Miss Mitchell has been in the office since June and has shown every qualification for the position. Edwin Jones, clerk of the court of Topeka, will retain G. Clay Baker, his present deputy, who is a Washburn law student and a good man for the place. Less certainty centers around the appointments in the other offices. Tinkham Veale. next county attorney, says he has not decided upon a first deputy. Paul Edga. who resigned nearly a year ago- to enter the countv attorney's office, will be retained. He has shown excellent qualifications for the position and will probably con tinue In his present capacity. There seems to be little dope on vho the first deputy will be. All ho Douglas Graham, new county clerk, has not officially announced his appointments, the dopesters have it that he will retain his present office force intact, including Kenneth Kaub, present county clerk. It is thought that Henry Monroe will continue as nrst aeputy and that Kaub will occupy second position. Mrs. Bessie Reid will also be retained, it is thought. The same rule applies to the pro bate court, to which office J. D. M. Hamilton was elected. It is thought Hamilton will keep all the present mtiuujng i v. Williams as probation officer; Miss Eva Corning as woman probation officer and Ros cpe Graves as clerk of the juvenile court. Miss Edna Davis, Miss Helen Lewis and Mrs. Anna Blgham. it is thought, will remain in the office also W. E. (Bill) Anderson, clerk-elect or tne district court, is another new officer who has not announced his ap pointments officially. However, Miss Mae Brewer is slated to remain as first deputy. Miss Brewer has been in the office two years, is thoroly fa miliar with the work and well quali fied for the position. Miler, new sheriff, has not decided upon whom he will appoint as his deputies beside Carlson, he said today. Efficient Administration. Altogether, the outlook for the next two years points to an efficient ad ministration of the county's affairs. There appears to be a desire on the part or the new officers to appoint deputies with a view to their ability and efficiency rather than from any political or friendly affiliation.

Professor Ringle says, "can furnish habitation for only one respectable bird and that Is the wren. A wren can enter a window the size of a quarter. If the windows, or doors if you are so pleased to can tnem, are made larger, the sparrow enters and no decent bird will live in the- same house with a sparrow. "Protecting trees renders real aerv ice to the birds. Trees are the natural 'homes of the birds. But unfortunate lv cats, the natural enemies of birds, were made 'with claws that enable them to climb trees and destroy the birds' homes. The thing to do is to make it impossible for cats to reach tho birds. Put old stove pipe or tin around trees to the length of a oouple of feet. Paint the pipe or tin the color of the tree trunks, if you think me pipe or tin will injure thejippearance of the trees Tou have then made it Impossible for cats to disturb the birds.

Pete Butler, yardmaster for the Santa Fe. didn't see "All Aboard for Cuba" Friday night not at the Grand anyhow, but Pete says just the same that It Isn't much of a show. The "All Aboard" private car came Into Pete's yard Friday morning, with some r" switching instructions .which Pete didn't quite know what to do about. In company with a reporter, Pete decided to visit the car and see what the manager had to say. "He oughta Tiick in with a couple of comps if we spot that car over to the Ijnlon i'a ciflc," said Pete. The car showed no signs of life. All the Minds were drawn down, but in the windows, protruding from be hind the closed blinds, there pro truded here and there a bit of lingerie which a very little Imagination could recognize as portions of Apparel, and probably femimne apparel at that. Pete's interest in the car redoubled. With the reporter at his heels the yardmsster circled the car, and final ly a step was found down at one of the platforms. The yardmaster mounted. The reporter still followed. Pete knocked at the door, which after an interval was opened by a colored porter. "Wanta see the manager," said Pete. The porter demurred. The manager was asleep. Pete peered over tho colored marl's shoulder into the car. "Jeeroosalum!" he announced. "I wanta see him anyhow," and he ducked thru the door and Into the car. The door slammed in 'he face of the reporter, who adjourned, and waited for Pete in the yardmaster's 'office, whither he presently returned. "Didja get the comps?" he" was asked. "Naw.' Nary a com p.

That is what is uppermost in all our minds, and will continue to be the upperfriost thing for the next few days. Now, here is one solution for the Gift problem: Take your Christmas list and go to the What-Not Shop. There you will find gifts for every one and each thing quite exclusive in itself. Door knock ers with a charm of their own; im ported block printed linens. (A dainty hand-painted Miss) in the form of a boudoir lamp dressed in the delicate shades My Lady likes. Beautiful bowls with bulbs, wonderful Japanese dolls, Chinese tapestries, wrought iron lamps and parchment shades. P. 8. Yes, you'll thank me, I'm sure! Christmas Eve some folks wrap th( presents they are going to give and Christmas night these same folkl "rap" the presents they received. No. 2. We have all probably seen and ad mired imported bead bags, but did you ever happen to hear where they were made? I was looking at some lovely ones at The Peterson Jewelry Store yesterday, and Mr. Peterson told me that this really exclusive line is the work of Belgium Artisans- Imported lace pieces, witlr-hand loomed centers and trimmed in silver lace. One thing I noticed especially was the new floor lamps with the parchment shades. Also the bronze reading light with smoking set attached. Some genuine Adda's pearl beads, Whitney jet, white coral and real clouded and polished amber ones which make me wonder how many girls would be made merry by finding one In the toe oftheir "silkuns" on Christmas morning! When,the doctor orderedMr. Nu Leo "Wed to give up smoking his fond young wlfey begged him to continue "Just 'till we get enough coupons to get a mission clock for the parlor." No. 3. When it comes to fussin' and fixin' 'tween you and me Mr. Man loves to do it just as much as we frivolous women folks. Why, it's the easiest thing in the world to decide what to give a man for Christmas I thought after I visited the L. C. Rahn store at 720 Kansas. I found scores of gift suggestions in Rahn'a made-to-measure shop, things for Mere Man's "doll-in'-up". Shirts made to measure, the kind a man would choose for "hisself." Most any man would proudly step oul if he had one of those shirts to don, after a trying day at the office. There are many things from which to choose HIS gift from at this store. I found a wonderful assortment of knit ties, individual initial handkerchiefs, all monogramed and- 'neverthing. Beau tiCul assortment of silk hose and a nice selection of bath robes. Mr. Batch says there seem to be only two things wrong with the aver age marriage, the husband and tha wife. No, 4. Christmas time is here and I'm not broke! No. siree! I shall say riot. I believe in. preparedness and conse quently had-plenty of money to spend this Christmas time. Strange? Not at all! Not at all! Here's the key that unlocks the door of the ready Christmas spending money for any one of us, and if you are broke this year, just read what Wise Friend told me last Christmas tide, "Christmas is 'most here and I 'most, broke, but the holiday season will not catch me nap ping next time) No, Elizabeth, I am going to be prepared and have money to spend foraH the gifts I want to buy and to pay my taxes. I am going to join the Christmas Savings Club at the State Savings Bank. I am going' to save money for a whole year and never hardly know it. This Week I will deposit 12.50 in the bank and S cents less each week. Then I will get a check for exactly $63.75 the same amount. Many people think this In the easiest way because the payments grow less. The bank has other amounts like 2 a and 50 cents a week to suit one's needs. Isn't that a "cinch" as the school kids say? Of course. It is a fact that this 'bank Is sending out three thousand checks to Topeka People for taxes, .Christmas and Coal bills. Of course, I could start with as little as a penny, or as. much as a dime, and increase propor- j tionately, receiving at the end a pro portionately different amount." That is what I call "SS." "SS" means system plus service, which this particular bank renders. No. 6. Show me the girl or woman who doesn't just dote on pretty clothesl Show her to me I dare you Why, nowadays even Grandma loves to doll up and I, for one, don't blame her. It seems as tho we. never have a sufficient 1 Sst number of pretty frocks. I talked with Mr. Nightin gale at Berkson's Store yesterday, for he told me of a special lot of dresses he was offering at fifteen dollars. A sale at Berkson Store really means some thing, and right now think of being able to get new frock-for the holi day season or giving one to Friend Wife! And at such a price! Oodles of styles from which to select wool velour and tricotine dresses, embroid ery and bead-trimmed, and some of the prettiest fronts of tricolette. And I guess most of us know what a frock of tricolette means it usually means forty collars or more! These dresses that I'm tellin' you about are the re sult of a special purchase and after you've looked at them I've an idea that you will say, "YOU ARE right, E. A... you are right. SOME Cjualitv; SOME style; SOME frocks! SOME -store! i urn Copyrighted, National Newspaper Service. If Santa Claus was very observing when he looks at some of the stock ings that will be hung up on Christ- mas Eve, he would brobably leave some darning cotton and needles. NoB. Can you think of any more enjoy able way of spending Christmas after noon (and 'most any other afternoon or evening) than to go spinnin' along country roads, breathing the fresh, in vigorating air! I just bet YOU'D like that! And it's only one of the many reasons why I claim the ideal gift to every member of your family would be a dandy Buick sedan. Why! Just the other day we started out on a cross-country drive in a big, roomy car that loolced the picture of comfort. "Twas comfort, too. It was clear and bright when we left home, but before we got back It was raining hard! Did we get wet or did the rain even bother us? No, MA'AM I It did NOT1 For we were riding in a Buick sedan and when I first hopped In I supposed it was an ordinary touring car, everything was so open. In a Buick sedan one has only to lift a little partition and tfie glass from the body of the car and you're all closed in without fuss, flurry or even stoppin' the car. That's another thing that I like "heaps." I don't like to stop, I just want to keep on riding. And if you were riding in the- sum mer and a thunderstorm came up you might want to shut out the lightning flashes. Very easy! Just pull down a dainty silk shade on either side of the car and you're all fixed, 'n every thing. An cosy as a limousine, this Buick sedan beautifully lined with gray whipcord and seats so soft and comfy. Why, If you closed your eyes you could easily imagine yourself at home in a big velvety rocking chair. Heavy, soft, -gray carpet on the floor, too. Another thing that makes the fam ily feel as if they were all together, when riding In this Buick. is the di vided seats in front. The driver's seat is adjustable, so when big, fat Dad drives he can pull the seat far enough from the wheel to be perfectly com fortable. Then when I drive I'm not so very big I don't have to be propped with pillows. Merely readjust the seat trick's done! A Buick sedan is truly a family car, a car for summer or winter, for clear or stormy weather. And, oh! so many little comforts and conveniences. A handy locker running into the hood, where you can leave "what-nots" and papers. A special Yale lock, safe guards against auto thieves, and each door is equipped with a lock as well. Now, I can hear you say, "But 'a Buick sedan Is so expensive; all the closed-in cars are." But I say. "Nope! Not at all!" And it Isn't a closed-in car either except just when you want it to be! You will be perfectly aston ished when you phone Mr. Noel V. Wood. This car that I've been telling vou about is only one of several dif ferent models you will see at Sixth and .Van Buren streets, and that's where you will find Mr. Wood. Presto! Your Christmas Shopping Done! And done for several years. Mr. Grouch want to know if there Is any use of telling the truth as long as most people would rather hear you lie than .o listen you tell the same story twico. Watch your step, on that one it's Fast. No. 7. Methinks these crispy days make one think of Xmas, and naturally one wants a new hat, as Milady must look nice on Christmas. I noticed some cute little turbans with a wee touch of orango and another of coral. One particular stunning one was of red, not too bright, but just the pretty shade. Why, yes, of course, they were at Mrs. Brickley's In Warren M. Crosby's. Of course you'll find oodles of otners at this store. Nuff sed! Nuff sed! Mrs: Nxt Dor Naybor complains that she hasn't been able to size up the new family who moved in across the way because they hang their wash ing in the attic. No. Click. Snap, I've got another pic ture of baby. I'm going to have Wdlcott. 825 Kan sas avenue, make a large picture fiom the film, and when I was in the store I saw some of the neatest frames, hand carved, in all sorts of pretty designs. My, he sure does carry a dandy line. Kodak Albums well, well, just oodles of them; just what I wanted to put baby pictures In. Well, I must rush this film to Wolcott's. so I can get baby's picture framed for Christ mas. Bang, slam; my pictures won't b ready from the photographer's till the day before Christmas. Cheer up, Wol cott, 825 Kansas avenue, has some of the swellest hand Carved frames and you know, he's right up to the minute when It comes to rush Jobs. Don't worry, he'll get them out for you.

"Oh, yes," she mused, "I have it; s-p-u-g stands for 'Send Pa's Unionsuits Gali vanting to the Mutual Laundry." And so Mrs. Wize immediately phoned 519 to "come right after the clothes." No work at her house during the holidays anyway. Not a bad idea that Mrs. Wize had, now was it? Mr. Nxt Dor Naybor tells me, with a mournful sigh, that Friend Wife blames him for everything that hap penseven when she hurls a milk pitcher at his head and he dodges, HE is to blame "for the consequent dent in the dining room wall! No. 11. My, I did hate to leave there! Of all the pretty, soft, warm-looking wool scarfs and sweaters in all different colors that I saw at the Parisian! Why, there are so many different things that a person could write a book about this place and then leave more than half unsaid, but don't worry, I'm not going to try to tell it all. Just' a few words and leave the' rest to your imagination until you have time to dress, catch a car and come right down town and see for yourself the lovely things I saw. I saw silk lace and embroidery hose that were just lovely. By -the way, did you see their blouses, don't miss them all bead and yarn trimmed. Fancy camisoles and- navy blue ones. Yes, they have underskirts in taffeta. Jersey and combination ones, in the pretty shades a woman likes. Oh, and I most forgot the party dresses in all the- pretty soft shades. Y'es, they are making special Christ mas prices. Don't fail to get in on It. Owing to the inability of so many people to find houses or flats in this rapidly growing" and prosperous coun try it seems to me that "Tenting to night" rosy soon be an appropriate national song. No. 12. If there is any one thing we women are interested in these days it is a chance to economize. I found that prices on the same quality of merchan dise down at Crockett's were ap preciably lower than at other stores. I couldn't think why at first But there is a strong convincing reason. The Crockett store 1b out of the high rent, district. In the middle of the block, just below Fifth street, the di- viding line of high rents and lower rents. They have a perfectly com pletely stocked department store. At this location they pay a much lower rent, and we, their customers, get the benefit of the lower rent, in the lower prices at which they sell their mer chandise.

Well, girls, the holiday season is here and what about your party dress? If it looks a little old and faded why don't worry about it. I had one. too, and had it dyed a lovely shade. I thought I would have te have a new suit and wondered how I was going to get it. In rummaging around in the attic I found one and sent it to the cleaners. When it came back I hardly knew it, and I decided that I could wear it for some time. All you have to do Is to call 1541 and let the cheer ful lady at the Independent Cleaners and Dyers dp the rest.

We have solved your Christmas gift. Just the thing you're wanting, some thing useful, and it is the glass or Pyrex ramekins from Fullerton's store. It isn't a bit expensive, either. Pyrex glass makes the food seem so much more tasty 'cause you can serve things so daintily. I am sure your sister would like a gift of a set of etched ramekins for her "hope chest," and you know mother would enjoy a large Pyrex baking diBh, large enough for her familv. 'Nother gift problem solved. Ain't you glad? Then another thing that -you know that she will be well pleased with is Community Silver from Fullerton's store. Every woman knows how well Community silver adds to the beauty of her table service. It lends a touch of refinement to any dining room, and is sure to win the admiration of guests.

Mr. Timid writes to inquire whether it is usually customary for a man to "squeeze her together again" when a girl "bursts" into tears. No. IS. Now, what shall we have for the annual Christmas feast? is a phrase In the minds of many of us. We all like something different, something out of the ordinary. With that thought I spent some time looking to see what Hindman's store had that was unusual or out-of-season delicacies. To make a long story short, here is a market list all ready for you to clip and check from before you go to Hlndman a store, for. of course, YOU are going! Fresh Martha Washington candy, prickley pears, alligator pears, malaga. grapes, red bananas, Japanese per Simmons, pomegranates, fresh cucum bers, new potatoes, artichokes, Brussels sprouts, hothouse asparagus, wax beans, green beans and large chest nuts in the burr. This is the place to get your Christmas fruit baskets filled, for there's heaps more, and candy galore! And Mr. Pessimist says that it's more costly to give than to receive. No. 1. When it comes to choosing a gift, I think a sewing machine with a. but ton hole attachment is a ift perfect that is, if it Is well chosen. In look ing about I discovered at the Hal Pat terson Store just the one,- and then Mr. Patterson told me that he re paired machines and carried the elec tric motor that we women are so crazy -about. Running a sewing machine by an electric motor certainly beats furnishing the power yourself. Now don't wait any longer to place your order. Remember, Old Santa will he here soon now. D'ja forget. The Idea is not only to D. Y. C. S. E. but to do It often. No. IT. 'Snever too early with Wize Buyer to" do gift shopping, so I know you'll be glad to hear about the display of cut glass at Warren M.

One cut glass water set, trimmed in the gold etching, attracted me espe cially, as it was new and different. Listen girls, they got the cutest little sandwich basket yes. it's In cut glass. Now, I am sure you know some par ticular friend who'd Just dote on one of these, prhaps two? Now. I must tell you that they have a very exclu sive little room, backed with mirrors, for their display of cut glass, all elec tric lighted and everything. You must see it to appreciate it Guess mere man Is just naturally mean! One of them remarked to me the other day thattwas unfortunate the devil tempted Eve in the form of a serpent.

A "Fireside Chair" is exactly what the name implies solid comfort, and then some more. I sat in one of these chairs at Connors Furniture Store and then I decided we would have one of them for Mere Man, at our house. I also noticed that Connors Store had many Cedar Chests. Tea Wagons, Smoker Stands and Sewing Cabinets the kind we hear so much about. Gateleg Tables and, oh. yes, I almost forgot the beautiful oriental rugs. Of course, they have lots of prettji floor lamps and reading lamps with the most exquisite shades. Yes, and I must tell you about, the candlesticks I saw in the Polychrome tnd Old Ivory.

So. following out a safety first plan, we would naturally go to Payne's Shoe Store to1 be absolutely sure of getting the RIGHT slipper (Oh! certainly, Miss Smarty, "i know you'll get one left slipper, too). I saw a pair of felt that I liked oh, MUCH. Warm, comfy affairs were they, with cosey toes (that name is mighty pat)! You can find slippers for Dad and slippers for Mumsie and slippers for the kidlets In every style you ever heard of. Payne's Shoe Store have either leather or felt (little Johnny says he's "felt" all of Dad s) slippers In black, tan and shades extremely light and shades extremely dark. For Willie or Mary, the cute little red and blue slippers, with pocket edition size animals around the tops, would be just the thing to tickle a youngster pink! Yes'm, they have 'em at Payne's Shoo Store. Don't slip, now! A man should never blame the wom an he loves for flirting with other men.

Trains big. and trains small, trains that go by electricity, friction or by winding, and trains that go when Willie pulls 'em!

President Storey of Santa Fe Issues Greetings to Employes. President W. B. Storey, of the Santa Fe, In the December nUmber of the Santa Fe magazine, has sent this Christmas message to all the employes of the system: "We are nearing the end of the year that has marked the transition from government to private control. "It has been a year of uncertainty and stress; there have been many new problems and an unprecedented amount of busine&s to handle, and with facilities inadequate and im paired. "Thru It all the Santa Fe employes have borne themselves well. They have done honor to their company and to their training. The patience they have manifested in dealing with the public, the efforts made at all times to accomplish the best results under the most trying circumstances, the efforts of those in supervisory posi tions to guide properly those under them, and the spirit of co-operation shown by all have been manifest, and it is due to your efforts that we can now see daylight ahead and the ulti mate restoration of the kind of service to the public which the Santa Fe fonj meriy gave. "I congratulate you one and all on the results obtained, and wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Tear. "W. B. STOREY." TO CONTINUE ALLOWANCE.

Railroad Men Pride Themselves In Their Efficiency. P.ailroad men stick reasonably close to tne trutn most of the time. But a railroad man likes to do everything he does a little bit bettea than anybody eise. So when he starts out to tell a whopper, women and children to the ropes; For example, the following extracts are taken from a bit of correspondence sent to the Santa Fe Magazine by a nan at Canadian, Tex., anent a dog. The dog has been killed, thereby fur- nisntng tne correspondent with an air tight alibi, otherwise probably no story. "When the switches had been prop erly lined for an entering train, and when the engineer whistled for a highball,' Turk would start in a run down the track In advance of the train.

Dee. 11. The greatest convention of baseball interests ever assembled u this country, involving a program for complete, reorganization of the sport's government got under way here today. Overshadowing- all other problems facing the conferees, were numbered representatives from all professional branches of the ra tional game, waa the formulation of a new national agreement. The sessions will continue for sev eral days, under the presidency of Judge K. M. Landis, newly appointed head of the sport. The annual meet ing of the new International league scheduled for Monday and the meet ings of the National league and the National league baseball writers on Tuesday, are likely to be held simul taneously with those of the main gathering. If its business is not cleared up before then. Besides the great task of formulating and enacting a new -constitution which it is hoped will satisfy all parties in the agreement a number of other im portant matters are expected to be dis posed of, including some important deals Involving exchange of major league players,, many of which have been rumored recently. The national and American leagues each have three representatives in the negotiations while the National Association of Pro fessional Easeball leagues, the minor league organization, has six ambas sadors. The new national agreement which the committee proposed ito draw up will replace ttte one- adopted' ia 1903 and last amended January 15, 1918, and which has been the government of baseball since it was first adopted. It is generally expected the new agree ment will take the form of two parts: One between the American and Na tional leagues that will apply to ques tions Involving solely major league matters, and the other between the major and minor lsagues that will apply to questions involving the Inter ests of these two divisions. Disputes relative to draft provisions caused the minor leagues to break away from the national agreement tyo years ago. r President Heydler of the National league, has prepared a worKing arait of his Ideas as to what should be in cluded in the' new agreement and it is expected that similar suggestions will be received fin behalf of the American league. Club owners and players also have been invited to presentideas and it is probable Judge Ijandis will insist upon Inclusion of provisions outlining his power and authority as head of organized baseball and others for gen eral good of the sport as well as his own protection. New Tork, Dee. 8. Jack--Dempsey, king of the world's heavyweights, was in the center of a buzzing grotrp of scribes during one of the recent con ferences for the Dempsey-Carpentier oout. "Called you up at 11 o'clock last night but couldn't ge't you," one of the scribes said to him. "Eleven o'clock?" the big champ answered. "No wonder you couldn't get me. I'm between the sheets every night at ten." He wasn't talking for publicity he doesn't need a press agent. He was tellinethe truth. From personal observations Demp sey is an unusual heavyweight cham pion. Success hasn t turned his head; temptation hasn't felled him. He's the same big affable boy with the same pleasant -smile that won him friends by the legion in Toledo. He's the same clean living athlete in the same perfect condition that enabled him to battel down one of the biggest men in the history of the game. Tou feei i.ne in a few moments. Tour cold" in head Or-catarrh will be gone. Tour clogged nostrils will open. The air passages of your head will clear and you can breathe freely. No more dullness, headache; no hawking, snuffling, mucous discharges or dry ness; no struggling for breath at night. Tell your druggist you want a small bottle of Ely's Cream Balm. Apply a little of this fragrant antiseptic cream your nostrils, let it penetrate through every air passage o the head; soothe and heal the swollen, inflamed mucous membrane, and re lief comes instantly. It is just what every cold and ca tarrh sufferer needs. Don't stay stuffed-up and miserable. Adv. December 11, uns.

Manager Grand State Journal Sports BY W. L. HUGGINS, JR. Jack Dempsey. Other champions in other days sue cumbed to the "bright lights." Others found training a bore and a task when they reached. the sun.mit of success. With greenback pRssports into fast circles, their went the pace that kills. But. not so Dempsey. Critics after looking him over In training have given the Opinun that he's In better form now than on that f ourth or July a year ago whin he won the cham pionshir. He has irte clear eya anl tue ruddy tinged st!n of an athlete in perfect condition. Jrl'W do you put m a day?" he was asko "Well, I pile out about C o'clock and after some setting up exercises I do a turn'' thru Central park," he said. 'Then a good briakfast and a rest of an hour or so and then a long walk. After lunch I so over to training quar ters and put in two or 'three hours with the rope, the bells, the medicine ball, some shadow boxing and a few rounds with Bill Tate, Ray Smith and some other boys who came around at different times. -I mix golf in every time I get the chance. It'a great ex ercise and first class diversion." Practically all the prominent flsrht ers around New Tork occupy places of prominence at the weekly boxing shows -in Madison Square Garden, but Dempsey is seldom seen tnere. 'I like to watch the bouts," he ex plained. "But late hours and an eve ning in a smoke filled room do more harm than good.", Dempsey has a lot of personality. He has that hanov faculty of meeting people well and remembering them the second time. He never "high brows." He's accessible at all times and he'll dig in his pocket for any Talk with him for an hour and he will scarcely ever speak in the first person. He's no master of English but he's grammatical and he isn't handicapped with a lot of vulgar par lance of the ring. It'a a hard task to get him to talk about any of his conquests. Je al ways refers to one of his vanquished nnnnnents as a "mighty good boy. During one of his recent fanning bees with a bunch of admirers he lis tened with tolerant politeness to one who insisted on tolling him how good he was. how he had picked him to beat Willard m three rounds and how he was going to ruin Carpentier. "Sav." the champion interrupted "seems to me you're a lot more sure ahont It than I am. I'm not so certain I'm going to win that bout. Carpen tier Is a great boy. He's bound to be a fighter with the experience he's had. I never pick a winner In advance on anything." Conference Confab Here Today. Todav will be the fatal day to the championship hopes of one of the two schools either Friends or Washburn. Washburn has every right to the title. Yet the Ichabod symi utilizers are wor ried. Coach Dwight Ream ana tne members of his championship team drew a long breath of relief today, when they learned that the champion ship deciding committee is to be com posed of three faoulty members of schools, namely: C. R. Phipps, Em poria Normal, chairman, and F. T. Owen, College of Emporia, President Aldrich has not named the third mem ber, but he will be a faculty member of some school in the conference. The meeting is to last until every bit of the season's details have been defi nitely decided. The championship committee is not expected ta take ac tion until tonight. The meeting will be a warm one. If Indications point truly. Dr. Garfield Weede. chairman of the protest com mittee, is up In arms over certain in fractions of conference rules, which he maintains have been committed during the past season. Practically all the coaches in the conference are expected to be present. Talent Ixmks Great at AgglcvIUe. "With four of last year's regulars eligible, and in school, and three or four basketeers from the '19 fresh man team in school and looking, good, Mike Ahearn of the Aggies, is antici pating a bright season of the indoor sport at the Kansas State college. Captain "Ham" Bunger, all-Missouri valley forward last year, will hoja down his old position this year, and George Jennings, last year's center, and the two Cowell brothers, who played sub guard positions on the '19 quintet, are showing up in good form. Of the other old regulars. Bill Knost man, sub center and forward. Bill Martin, sub guard, Williams, sub for ward, are out for the team. Foveaux, Krykendall and Bradley, who played freshman baseket ball last year, are looking "mighty good," according to Ahearn. Basket ball Is one of the best paying sports at the Aggie' college, Ahearn writes, and for the last several years the school spirit has been great enough to pack the gym whenever a Missouri valley game is on the schedule. Sev-, eral applications for season tickets have already been received. The Aggie schedule comprises games with K. U., Missouri, Oklahoma, Wash ington, Ames and Drake. Football and BasketbaU at Pittsburg. Jack Doty, scrappy little center on the Pittsburg Normal footbalr team this year, was elected captain of the 1921 squad at a meeting of the letter men this week. Doty will play his last year of college football next year, and he played every minute of the sea son schedule this year, with only one time out for injuries. The following men were awarded letters by the athletic council of the Pittsburg school: Hill (captain), Doty (captain-elect), Scott, Smith, Alyea, Wiedeman, Price, Vehlow, Opie, Mat- thews. Hamm and Sturgeon. Thirty men reported for practice with Doe Garfield Weede, Including six letter men of last year. With a lot of new material to pick from, and that number of letter men back, Weede hopes to turn out a quintet that will rank high when the final confer ence averages are compiled at the end of the tosisins; season. The letter ro-n mit for thir year's team Include: H. Alyea, all-state center last year; Scott, honorable mention, forward: P. Alyea. forward, and Price, guard from the '1 and 17 eqttad. In addition Weede haa gturreon. forward, and York, cen ter. both men from the 1 ana" 17 squad. "Doc" has combed the etata pretty thoroly this year, and some promising material from the state high schools are expected to shine on the Pittsburg five.- Ottawa Champions? Ottawa high school seems to have won the title in the high school foot ball race. By defeating the heretofore undefeated Emporia high school team December 17, by a score of 7 to 0, they have apparently established a right to the honors. The Ottawa High School Record makes a bold statement in its Issue of December 19, proclaim ing that school "state champions." ir they will remember the upset In the college championship this year, it may be concluded that their claims must necessarily be firmly established be fore such statement is made. BM 1BELAH TO TOPEKA Washburn Graduate. Now a Mission ary, at First Christian Church.

8 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11,-1920 DENY BIG PROFITS Kansas Coal Operators Declare Innocence of Profiteering. President of the Association Answers Court Report. SAYS MARGIN SMALL ONE Fifty Cents Per Ton Less Would Have Meant Loss. Challenge Issued Any Other In dustry to Beat Kecord. Pittsburg1, Kan., Doc. 11. Kansas coh! operators are not profiteers and have not piled up huge returns from the industry in the past fifteen months, Ira Clemens, president of the Southwestern Interstate Coal Opera tors' association and probably the largest operator in the Kansas field, declared today in a statement in re ply to a report of the Kansas court of Industrial relations just made public at Topeka. Profit a Not Inrce. "If the operators In Kansas had cold their product for the past fifteen months at a price 50 rents a ton un 'der the price at which they did sell If, the entire coal industry of Kansas would have been run at a loss," Mr. Clemens declares. "Yet the state is plven the Impres sion that the operators have made hup profits, because in the last three jnonths for which the report was made the earnings -were 11 xh per cent. The entire period, as shown by the court' report, which yields a fair s nalygis when submitted to examina tion, shows a profit to the operators of 4 per cent. In the last quarter, which was the best one of the five for the operators, the report shows the operators made 46.7 cents a ton. "The .thirty-eifiht Kansas coal com panies named in the industrial court's report submitted their books to the court's experts and from these books the experts discovered that if there has been profiteering in coal between the bottom of the mine and the bin of j the consumer, it has not been the operator who has been doing it. The t report shows that the retail coal deal- ers did not offer very satisfactory an- bw'ts to the court's questions. "The coal operators challenge any other Industry in the state to show fairer treatment of the public than the operators have shown. Theyjare not! profiteers and a fair reading of the industrial court's report will show to any one that they are not." GLEE CLUB WILL ENTERTAIN The meeting of Topeka council No,' 2, 8. I!..

A lunacy warrant for Katchum was sworn out following the discovery by Kilmaurs King, humane agent, that four horses were starving to death in a barn on the Katchum place. Two of the animals had become so weak ened from lack of food that they had j been fastene I with baling wire to the roof of the barn to keep them from falling down. The wire had cut into the stomach of one of the horses and his condition was such that Chier G. G. Hannan ordered him shot. The other three were taken to a local feed yard. One of them is blind. A third will have to be shot as a result of his condition.

Friday afternoon Chief Hannan, in company with King and several other officers, went to the Katchum home with the houe of arbi trating -with the old couple. But Katchum and his mother came out of the door and leveled guns and drove the officers from the place. The po lice returned later, however, and found Katchum away from home. They found the old woman sawing wood near the porch and managed to cap ture her. She struggled and swore all. the way to the county Jail. "My son will surely kill you for this. He will shoot you," officers quoted her as saying. Officers were lying In wait for Katchum when he returned home about 7 o'clock, a shotgun over his shoulder. He was taken after a short struggle and locked up in the county Jail. This morning a lunacy com plaint was made against the woman also. Five Guns In House.

The velvet glove Is to be discarded in dealing with writers of worthless checks, according to Tinkham Veale, county attorney. The wave of illegal check writing has increased to such an extent during he last year that it has become a serious menace, accord ing to officials. It is estimated that more than $100, 000 worth of "bum" checks were palmed off on Topeka merchants and .Course No gift can equal a business col lege course.

One was a cap and ball musket of Civil war type. Another was a single barrel shotgun, another a sin gle shot rifle. The other two were repeating rifles of large caliber. All were rusty. The house, altho there were two old stoves in the kitchen, was un heated, for there was no fuel on the premises. The only victuals tn the house were a few potatoes in a gunny sack. 'There was no furniture, except boxes, a table and two or three rickety chairs. There were no carpets on the floors and the rooms were extremely dirty and in a state of disorder. The bedroom was a cubby hole of eight feet square, and the beds con sisted of two narrow springs set upon boxes, over which a cow hide and a goat skin were spread, together with a few ragged and filthy quilts. Claimed To Be lawyer. Katchum claimed to be a lawyer, a carpenter and a musician. His law books consisted of a copy of the statutes of 1915. His musical instru ments were a rusty piece of a cornet and another of a baritone honr. An old accordion was found In a box. There were several rusty saws about the place. On the fly-leaf of an old Bible was printed: "Albert Katchum, Alta Visti, Kan." In a box was found a commis sion issued to Katchum by Gov. W. J. Bailey in 1904, making him a Justice of the peace of Douglas county. These are the only clues the police have as to the identity of the couple, who have lived in Topeka about three weeks. Attempts to handcuff Katchum when he was arrested revealed that his wrists were so big that handcuffs would not go on them. He had en two coats, three vests and several shirts. He declared the reason why he had not fed the horses was because the police had "been hounding him so much." He said Kilmaurs King had been trying to profit off his horses. He seemed to hold a particular grudge against King, having put up a sign on the barn reading: "Keep Out This Means King." The couple will be tried on lunacy charges Wednesday. others since January 1, 1920. The records in the court of Topeka show that since January 1 seventy-four complaints have actually been Issued. Forty-four prosecutions have been made. The checks on which complaints have been sworn to in the county at torney's office, amount in value to $3,989.94. These figures in no way show the total number of worthless checks. In some cases a man or woman writes several checks, but is prosecuted only on one. In more than seventy-five per cent of the cases the victims will not push the prosecution at all and hence no warrants are issued. Hundreds of worthless checks have come to the attention of the police during the last year that have never found their way Into the records be cause the money has either been made good or because the victims did not wish to prosecute. "This wave of illegal check writing must be stopped," Veale said today. "It Is becoming a menace too great to be ignored. Writers of worthless checks have gotten off too easy in the past and from now on this office in tends to recommend to the court the severest punishment on the statute books. As a matter of fact, the of fense is very serious. If the check is for more than 20. the punishment is a maximum of five years in the peni tentiary. If the check is for less than 20 the maximum punishment is $100 fine and a year in the penitentiary.- "Our attention has been called to many persons who leave a small amount of money on deposit in the bank and then write checks for a larger amount, claiming they thought they had funds enough on deposit to cover the check. I want to say that these persons had better brush up on their arithmetic and install new book keeping systems, for we do not Intend to be easy on them in the future." PROGRAM AT It. It. Y. M. C. A.

GirL Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 11. .Third arrest in the murder of Miss Florence Barton, young society leader, was made here last night, when a pal of Dennie Chester's was taken into cus tody on the strength of dictograph rec ords of alleged incriminating conver sations in his rooms. The man is held "for Investigation." But police assert that they have enough evidence against the man to send him to trial. HEARD IN of The Topeka The school is to be complimented on the spirit with which it greeted the campaign conducted by .the Junior Chamber of Commerce for a fund for the unfortunate Armenians. It is esti mated that $10 will provide for one person a year and at least forty-six Armenians will be supported by the high school as the contributions netted the campaigners almost 1460. On behalf of the school, the writer takes occasion to resent anyone classi fying Topeka high school as "kids," as was done not long ago by the morning paper. The high school has certainly demonstrated by this time that her student body is composed of young men and young women. The Hi-T. Christian organization of the high school which holds itameet ings every Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. was addressed at its last meeting by C. A. Caster, state director of county M. C. A. work.

"Washburn boosters" from the stu dent body, the faculty, and the people of Topeka are to stage an all school part in honor of this year's state foot ball championship team on the night of December 15. Plans for the party have just been announced. The festivities will start with a 6 o'clock banquet at Pelletier's tea room, at which some 400 guests are expect ed. Judge Henry V. Mason will be the toastmaster, and the menu and toasts will be devoted to the football victory of the year. The football team and thirteen letter men from the To peka high school will be the guests of the boosters at the banquet. After tho dinner special cars will take the crowd to the gymnasium at Washburn, where there will be an all school party. A vaudeville program. half of it to be staged by the students of the college and half by Topeka business men, will take ap the first part of the evening and will be fol lowed by dancing. Tickets for the dinner may be ob tained up to Monday morning at 8:00 o'clock by calling Dean Susan B. Guild, or Gerald Tasker. at the college. Three committees are working on the arrangements for the party. The business men are represented by New ell Abrams. R. K. Bennett. Delbert Kirkpatrick. Dean Rogers and James Cowdrey.

The Okla homa City high school has an enviable reputation, having won eleven out of fifteen debates last year, the boys' team alone winning seven out of eight. The Oklahoma City high school is about twice the size of our own high school, having an enrollment of 2,700 students and a faculty of 87 teachers. Its proficiency in debating may be judged from the fact that it has twenty debates scheduled for this year. The subject of the debate with the Topeka high school is a whole book in itself. "Resolved, that the federal government should enact legislation providing for compulsory judicial set tlement of industrial disputes in pub lic service industries, tonstitutionality conceded." Altho you might call it a "cut and dried" subject (as f.r as the United States is concerned), "Resolved, that the United States should join the League of Nations" proved to be one of the most interesting and enthusi astic debates ever held by the High School Forensic club. Both sides were very sincere and the 'refutation work was handled well by both sides, but the affirmatives carried the right and strongest line of argument. The affirmatives were represented by Marjorle Munn, Ines McQuiikin and Agnes Fidler, the negatives by Mary Anderson, Mary Davis and Mary Flora. Altho Miss Lucy Gaston has not as jet approached the high school con cerning the cigaret problem, the fac ulty seems to be quite in accord with her doctrines as several students who have "been on the carpet" will testify.

"Tom" McRae, editor of the Santa Fe Magazine, in Chicago, is back of the scheme, Collinson said, and had started it with the view of capturing first place himself. ."He is relying on his curly hair and his Apollo Belvedere profile," said Col linson. Collinson also mentioned several of the local officers of the road who are supposed to be candidates for the con- on the project as the young ones. Col linson said, but there are more of the young ones, and they are barring some of the elder officials on account of their age. General Passenger Agent J. M.

Real Estate Activities In Capital City Considerable Interest in this state, in agricultural circles, has been aroused during the past week to the opening of congress and the extremely laudable position the Farm Mortgage Bankers' association has taken in its proposals presented to the agricultural committee of both houses- looking for relief to the farmers and farming sec tions of the country. Acting on and with this committee were J. R. Bur row and C B. Merriam of the Central Trust company, both of whom have al ways displayed a keen interest in the welfare of the Kansas farmer. As Kansas is primarily an agri cultural Etate it is regrettable that prices of farm products have depreci ated so suddenly. While the reaction from war prices was bound to come yet the recent swiftness of the decline of farm product prices is unprece dented. Nalurally all this brings up the question of the stability of the price of .the farm land itself, and the in quiry and Interest on the part of not only the farm owner, but also the in vestor in farm mortgages, regarding this stability. In a recent Interview I. S. MacFar- 1 A? 1, r.ntpal Trust rmmnontf stated that old line mortgage com-' panies of this stat at least, were little concerned as to not only the sound financial standing of the Kansas farmer, but also expressed the opti- Central Park District Two lots, 8 room residence, modern, furnace, bath, electric ity. 4 room down, 4 rooms and bath np, cistern, many closets, street paved, car line, 7 xnln. service.

Mr. MacFarlane said, "To be sure there will be found cases wKere a farm has Been purchased as a speculation where the purchaser has become heavily involved and a shrink age on the price of the farm is now available. These incidents are rare however, and also thej, occur any year. Possibly the price of the rough pas-, ture land is lower today than during tbe war. But it has been the history of not only Kansas, but cf every agri cultural state that when a new .price level for land was reached It has gen erally remained. While there may be at periods a land stagnation as at the present time, if any general change is perceptible it always has had an up ward trend." :Mr. MacFarlane continued, "It has been remarked that 'land always has been and always will be humanity's perfect ideal of that which is immova ble, indestructible, and imperishable,' so has it the right of furnishing the highest type of security to man." What is true of the inactivity of land sales seems to be true to Topeka real estate, according to B. H. Smith of The National Investment company who recently made the statement that local real estate dealers reported a present dull market caused by the purchaser's apparent reluctance to buy, on account of an uncertain eco nomic future. Mr. Smith stated that where city property- has been pur chased at the seeming high war figure there is little general inclination on the part of owners to decrease the price. It is Mr. Smith's opinion that within a short time confidence in the future will be firmly established, and he pre dicts considerable demand during the spring months" for city property. Real estate transactions In Topeka In the last week involved $103,775. The largest amount of money -was utilized in loans. A total of 962,245 was diverted to loans thru private channels and thru members of the To peka real estate board. Private loans amounted to 19.500. Realtors report $53,775 loaned in the week. City and farm property changing hands in the period recorded was val ued at $41,500. The farm property headed the list of activity with a to tal valuation of $30,000. The figure was considerably lower on recorded deals in city property only $11,500. Probably many Topeka real estate. men go at their advertising In a more or less haphazard manner. It is doubtful If these methods permit them to gain the largest possible effect from the money invested. The National Real Estate Journal, of December 6, contains the following article which contains a number of very pertinent pointers for the men who follow the profession. After a recent contest was held In Philadelphia, R. Kirkman, Jr., adver tising manager of the Public Ledger, the paper with whom Jay E. House, formerly mayor- of Topeka, is now as sociated, replied to Philadelphia real estate men as follows: "First Are you dofng your adver tising to the best advantage?

"Throwing down the gauntlet" woulA be a very expensive pastime this year. A. lady would need implicit faith in her cava lier before she would, dare throw one of her gloves to the lions, In giving the "dare" to her gallant, and the same lady of medieval days whose "straying sad gloves she was always mislaying," would endure a severe memory Jog" when she received her glove bill. Much has been said this season about it being "the most ornate year" in the fashion realm. Garment writ ers have raved full much and well about "the most ornate year" for dresses, suits, wraps, shoes and vanity cases. And now we are awaking to the fact that even the glove which has remained quite stationary for many seasons, is cutting up such festive capers thatXre must now write about "the most ornate year' for gloves." The highest class specialty shops on Fifth Avenue are really astounding their buying populace by showing them what can be .done to a glove. Even one year ago womankind would have giggled at the idea ot encasing her hands In silk and skins all be decked with colored embroidery, painted designs, chenille traceries, and beaded patterns. But that la exactly what glove de partments are showing today. The counters look, like suggestions for a period ball, or as if Arthur and His Knights had surrendered their gaunt lets to the modern Milady. For it is the gauntlet cut that has almost sup planted the bona fide glove. Both silks, fabrics, and skin gloves employ this spreading cuff to be worn over the dress, suit, or coat sleeve. Some of the cuffs are very stiff and un belted. Others fall In folds from the wrist and use a variety of belts and buckles. Of the former variety, a leading house is showing a pair in very heavy black cape leather. The cuff spreads, as if stiffly starched, from the wrist and is decorated with a banding in vermilion red. This style jibes well with Peter Pan dresses and GEO. H. THOMAS Despite Thanksgiving Vacation 11, 700,000 Tons Were Mined. The average .weekly production of bituminous coal in the United.

ood. Illustrated by Neva Harrison BETTY'S TRIP INTO EGYPT. OH. pshaw:" exclaimed Betty cross ly, when her mama asked her to get a bucket of fresh water. "I Just hate to carry water. I don't see "I shouldn't think you could see with that frown on your face." laughed a merry voice, and Gocomeback, the travel elfin, hopped up beside Betty and laughed merrily as he took the bucket from her hands. "I don't care!" exclaimed Betty cross ly. "I always have to go for water Just when I want to run out and play." 'There, now:" said Gocomeback kind ly, "you might complain If you were living In Egypt. The little girls that carry water there never do have time to play. They carry water from sun up to sundown every day." "Wtll.S don't see how they do it." said Betty, taking the bucket and starting for the well. "It tires me dreadfully and always makes me ter ribly croas." Aa her hand touched the bucket she found herself lifted from the ground; and sure enough, they were sailing over the housetops before she really knew Just what was happening! "I suppose we're going to visit that little girl?" she laughed, the frowns leaving her face. Gocomeback grinned cheerily, and they gently dropped to the ground. Crowds of dark-skinned people, dressed In flowing, gay-colored robes, wandered to and fro. or rode on the backs of small donkeys, all bedecked with bright red saddle cloths and beautiful bead necklaces ornamented with little gilt coins which Jingled merrily as they trotted by. At the side of the donkeys ran bright-eyed little Kgyptlan boys Most of the donkey-boys wore loose blue gowns, with bright colored hand kerchiefs wound round their heads. "MoBt of the boys follow that trade," said Gocomeback. "white the girls all carry water. Here comes one now." Around the end of a low building 'The Girls All Carry Water. trotted a little dark-skinned Egyptian maiden. She made a wonderful picture, with her Ions black hair flowing: about her shoulders, over which loosely htfnff a soft, black veil. Her dress was blue and reached down to her brown ankles. Around her neck were long; strands of beads and shells, and her wrists were wound with many bracelets. She trot ted up to Hetty and Gocomeback and offered them a drink from the great Jug lie carried on her head. BMty took a sip of the lovely fresh water and smiled at the rarrier. She looked so bright and fresh Betty could hardly believe It when she told Ciocomeback she had been carrying water ever since the first rays of the tin rose over the treetops. "Well, of all things!" exclaimed Betty. You must love to carry water." The little brown girl smiled sweetly and shrugged her shoulders. "Every one must do his share," she laughed. Gocomeback dropped a coin in the little brown hand, and bidding Betty and the elfln good-by, the little water girl trotted away to quench the thirst of other weary travelers. Before she was out of sight, Betty found herself standing at the old well in her own back yard. Copyright, 1920. by Newspaper Feature Serdca, Inc. By Genevieve Kemble SUNDAY AND MONDAY, DEC. 12-13.

Inc. The Way Mother Graham Objected to the Trip. I ENTERED Into preparations for the canoe trip to Blue's Bridge with the zest of a small girl going 'on her first Sunday school picnic The love of tne out-of-doors and the unusual Is in grained in every inch of me, and this trip promised both. "What shall I wear?" I asked Dicky anxiously, for I knew nothing of the place to which we were going, beyond the fact that one secured there "a per fectly corking dinner." in Dicky's en thusiastic phraseology. I wondered if it were some exclusive place where'one's costume would be criticised. "Anything from a nightdress to a ball gown," Dicky replied, teasingly. "But. dispassionately speaking, I shouldn't ad vise either extreme. Try a happy medium." Militant Mother Graham. "With the limited experience both of you have had with canoes, r should think your bathing suits wou il be the wisest apparel," his mother put tn dry ly. "Of all the crazy things ti do any way, this going off on a canoe trip with all you've got in front of you, Margaret. Is the limit! Of course, Richard hasn't a grain of common sense, but you're a woman, you ought to have some idea of what you've got before you." "But, mother, dear." I protested, "ray things are packed, almost down to my toothbrush, and the clothes for my Journey are all laid out. It won't take me five minutes to put the last articles In my small bag when I dress tomor row, and there isn't a thing else to do. You know you wouldn't let me take car of Junior If I did stay at home." "I should say not!" she declared em phatically, with an adoring glance toward her Idolized grandson, who was building himself a wonderful house of blocks upon the floor. That It came tumbling down each time Just before It was completed, appeared to detract no whit from his gurgling enjoyment of his work. "I've had to do without that blessed baby all the time I was lick. I guess I'll hare him all I want now. "But that's beside the mark," she went on, returning like a homing pigeon to her original subject. "You'll tumble into that river as sure as anything, and then where will your trip North be?" "Oh, mother, say not so!" Dicky im plored, stretching his arms towaVd her in a burlesque appeal. "Don't wish us anything like that! "I don't want to' hear anything from you."she turned on him quickly. "You're the one that's responSTtrte for all this. Don't think you can pull the wool over my eyes, young man. Margaret would have been starting North by this time except for your flim-flam about those reservations. Don't tell me you couldn't get any accommodations until the day after tomorrow. I know better!" Dicky Takes Precautions. You can ask the ticket agent," her son rejoined flippantly. "I intend to," his mother replied, elg nlflcantly. Into her son's eyes for a moment flashed a startled look, which confirmed the suspicion I had entertained that he had purposely misrepresented the earli est date upon which he could get reser vations in order to give me the trip to Blue's Bridge. But his reply to his HOME-MAKING HELPS By Jeannetto Young Norton "EVERYTHING ABOUT THE HOUSE HELPS TO MAKE THE HOME" Some Christmas Tree Suggestions That May Aid. CHRISTMAS follows so closely on the heels of Thanksgiving day that It is hardly worth while putting the turkey platter back on the top closet shelf again, or wrapping the best long cloth in its blued bag. These sacred symbols of yuletide never fall to work the magic of long ago In our scheme of life, and though we may not .have been happier then than we are now, still in retrospection we always think that we were, so let's keep up the Illusion of happiness that has so little alloy to em bitter Its charm. Most of us, of course, will celebrate with a Christmas tree, large or small, according to our convenience, and it is not a minute too soon to get out the box filled with last year's tree trim mings and see Just how much new stuff we are likely to need. The first thing to decide upon la Just how much we want to spend on the tree. exclusive of Its cost price. This matter settled, we may proceed on a business basis. A hit or miss sort of tree decora tion runs Into a lot of money and pro duces a messy-looking, cheap tree, when done. A too sparsely trimmed tree looks bare and unattractive, but there Is middle course that is Just right, with well chosen things placed with a knack that chows them to their best advantage. This means a definite plan of action. The red and gold tree, the white and silver tree, or the "lolly-pop" tree may be made equally attractive, though first prize Is apt to fall to the first men tioned as being the most Christmasy In appearance? In decorating a -red and gold tree in as THE THROB V ARIED as may be the theme tion, it is not more varied created for Lovely Woman! It is not the theme, however, mother was prompt and disarming. "That's right. Nothing like settling things at headquarters. Just let me know when you are ready and I'll take you over." "I think I can manage to get there by myself." she said, tartly, bending over her sewing again, and evidently dismissing us as unworthy of considera tion. Dicky glanced furtively at me. There was such a soy-caught-steallng-Jam look upon his face that I could not re sist the temptation to assure him of my understanding of his ruse and forgive ness of It. There was no chance, how ever, to express my feeling In any other way than by a slow, comprehending wink. Dicky started, and his face lighted with appreciative glee. He blew me a kiss over his mother's unsuspecting head arc! spoke aulcklv but casually: "Seriously speaking, Madge. I'd wear that wool Jersey suit of yours, with golf hose and your stoutest, heaviest shoes. That wool skating cap you used to wear last winter would be the thing for your head, but I don't suppose you brought it along." "It's in my trunk." I said demurely. "Oh. wise young woman!" Dicky paraphrased. "Well, then, you re com plete except that you ought to take alonr an extra sweater or coat for an emergency. And now. if you'll excuse me. I've got some packing or my own to do." He sauntered leisurely out of the door. but I saw him pass the window hur riedly a minute later, and guessea mat he had gone to fortify the ticket agent against any inquiries his suspicious mother might choose to make. perfect a shape as possible, tie close to the stem, to weight the branches, bril liant red apples, then red and gold cornucopias filled with candies. Add a red and gold tinsel star at the topmost tip, and red candles everywhere. Next, add paper goldfish, gilt candy baskets and brilliant red-and-gold-dressedfair- les. Further than this, a few small candy canes and gold and red balls will be all that is needed. Over all tnrow a veil of the gold filings that come in packages.- All trees should be sprayed, when the decoration is completed, with a flreproofing solution to make them safe, especially if the tree la dry and tn a small room. In doing the white and silver tree, maintain the scheme by using White and silver in all of the decorations, and cover all with -a veil of silver filings. The lolly-pop tree is one hung with can died fruits, sweets in every sort of odd and fancy containers, bunches of candy bananas, grapes, onions and marxepan novelties. Candles should he in all colors, and the finished tree dusted with mica. Among Christmas games to be found In old magaxines is the quaint one of snap-dragon. Though prohibition has removed the "snap," it can still be played with hot. spiced, home-made cider. Dumb crambo, stage coach, anin the platter, forfeits, even postoffice ia permissable at yuletide. Russian scan dal Is a Jolly game. The method of this game Is as follows: A letter is written and read aloud to the entire company, who, afterward, one at a time.

YOUR HEALTH What Cataract Really Is and Hw It May Be Remedied By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M.D,F.A.Ci Commissioner of Health, New York City HOPELESS blindness is one of the saddest of all human afflictions. With the exception of loss of mind, there can be nothing worse. Fortunately, there are comparatively few adults who develop complete and hopeless blindness. By far, the major portion of all blindness dates back to in fancy. Neglect of the eyes of the newly born, or in fections of the eyes at birth, so serious as to be beyond medical aid these are the" causes of most blindness. Today we will give our thought to one of those con ditions which brings loss of sight to grown persons. In advanced life the most common .cause of blindness is cataract;, ui an tne serious ana uncomfortable thine: vnltinl. i. a i Look into your neighbor's eye for a-f- moment, and I will attempt to explain I the things you see. The space between the lids reveals soma glimpses 'of the eyeball itself. The round, colored part of the eye is'called the "Iris." This la a beautiful curtain, blue or black, brown or trray, as the case may be, and pos sibly splashed with yellow. In the middle of the tris is what ap pears to be a black patch. As a matter of fact. It ia nothing but a hole tn the iris. This is the pupil of the eye. a win dow which may expand widely or draw itself down to pin-hole slse. There fits over the front of the eye, exactly covering the iris, a perfectly transparent disc, like the crystal of a watch, called the "cornea." The space between the cornea and the iris Is called the "anterior chamber" of the eye. and It is filled with a water-like fluid called the "aqueous humor." A Perfect Lanse. Back of the Iris, so close that the edges of the pupil rest against It. there Is suspended a perfect lens called the "crystalline lens" of the eye. This is held in place by a delicate, transparent, hammock-like membrane, whose only other function is to control the thick ness of the lens, and thus to regulate its effect upon the rays of light that pass through It. Lining the concave Interior of tha eye ball at the back and sides, la the "re tina," the part of the eye to receive the lmagea of outside objects.

'I am sure they will enncn it won derfully," said Miss Thayer as sne took some of the translucent pearls in her slender hands. "The headdress I am going to maae Is one that will reveal the beauty of your hair." I "may mention that Miss Thayer's hair is a ausxy dulck mat possesses a fascinating sheen.

It may be said In general, there fore that cataract produces no change In the appearance of the eye. Anything that mars the eye or changes It from th normal look Is not cataract.

This Is because It Is removed so readily The operation for cataract Is Infinitely less painful than having a tooth extracted- It does not make th patient 111. the results are Immediate, and almost Invariably satisfactory. The patient coming for the operation may say, with the man In Scripture: "Whereas I was blind, now can X Bee?" No general anesthetto Is employed. Liquid that deadena all pain Is dropped Into the eye. The operation takes less than two minutes. The patient Is kept In bed three or four days, merely to keep him quiet and eaf from acci dent, and not because he Is ill. When recovery Is complete, glasses ar fitted, and the victim of blindness Is re stored to sight and usefulness. Answers to Health Questions K. L.

Uaskln, Director, Washing ton. f. C. In Secretary Houston's annual re port and recommendations on the sub ject' of handling the national debt, there nowhere appears any reference to tho debt of approximately ten bil lions of dollars owed to this country by the allien. This debt Is suppose! to be bearing Interest at the rate of K pi.- cent. The annual Interest would be about J500.000.000, but nothing; Is being paid. This sum would go a long way In relieving the treasury of em barrassment. The government Is bor rowing money at 6 per cent while carrying this debt. Germany has de livered to the allies in payment of war Indemnities her gold bonds to the market value of 115,000,000,000. Why can't we get some of this money? There must be taken Into considera tion, also, that the treasury Is pur chasing liberty bonds below par In the open market, borrowing funds at a high rate of interest wherewith to retire long-term securities bearing a low rate of interest. If Senator Hard ing, when he becomes president, can find a man who knows something about business to place at the head of the treasury department the public will appreciate It. If an individual should deliberately kill five persons in one day the pub lic would be horrified. -Yet the state of New York did that very thing Fri day and the circumstance attracts no more than passing notice. How can tho state expect its citizens to respect the sacredness of human life when It does not do so itself?. Missionaries could find plenty of work to do In this country. They do not need to go abroad to find barbarians to whom to minister. Southern farmers are said to favor a protective tariff on their own products of course. But Democrats in the ranks of the protectionists would present no more remarkable anomaly than did Democrats when they lined up with the Prohibitionists. "Tariff for revenue only" Is about the only one of its original principles left to the Democrat party. If that be aban doned by a large part of the mem bership, the old-time Democrat may as well take to the woods. Opposition to high rates of duty has won for the party when nothing else would or could. And now there are indications that it Is about to give up the bridge that carried It over. But that the tar iff is a local issue is as true today as It was when General Hancock said It, and tho country as a whole may bo forced to depend for its salvation upon the divergence of interests which this fact entails. There appears to be a growing sen timent that the vice president's salary should be Increased and that he should be provided with a place to live. At present his compensation Is $12,000, lower than many other gov ernment officials, from which he has to provide a residence and conduct himself In a style corresponding with the dignity of the office. Most per sons probably will agree that any man who accepts the office of vice presi dent should receive 'a good sized bo nus. The man who always said he could "drink or let it alone," now Is prov ing his assertion by letting It alone, while formerly he proved It by drink ing. The Christian Science Monitor Is sending out a tracer for the Middle Class union. Eight months ago, it points out, when overalls clubs and old clothes societies were coming swiftly into general favor as a means of bringing down prices, there seemed to be a rather general feeling that the banding together of the masses of people --ho are wont to feel them selves oppressed by the activities of capital and la". or would certainly be to their advantage. It looked for timet as if the overalls clubs, which wer by nature transitory, would turn into a movement toward the estab lishment of middle-class unions all over the country, which would be, in time, duly federated. Out here in Kansas the necessity for such a union disappeared with the establishment of the court oi industrial relations. SEUUNG OCR BOXDS. .There 'appears to be soma differ ence of opinion In the city hall re garding the proper course to pursue In Issuing bonds voted to improve the water plant. -It ma0 well to take Into consideration, in reaching a con clusion, that Kansas municipals are in considerable demand in eastern mar kets. Since midsummer there has been a decided improvement in the market for municipal bonds. "Municipals," as they are termed In the securities market, include not only city bonds, but also the bonds of townships, coun ties and states, besides towns and vil lages, road districts and drainage dis tricts. These are generally "held In higher esteem than they were several months ago. Illustrating the trend of the market the Manufacturers' Record cites the following instances: In July. Cumberland. Md.. offered or sale an issue of $250,000 of 5 per cent ounus, ina it is Biaiea me oest offer that could then be obtained for them from any of the bond-buying firms was 88, and they were with drawn. In October they were again offered and were disposed of at some thing better than 97, the purchasers being a syndicate of Baltimore bank ers. Charlotte, N. C, also lately sold $100,000 of 5 per cent bonds on a 5.43 per cent basis, and Durham, in the same state, disposed of $575,000 of Shi per cent bonds on about a 5.47 per cent basis. Municipal bonds are largely pur chased by investors ofThe class who buy heavily, not so much by the small er investors. Insurance companies, savings banks, big estates, and wealthy Individuals find them attractive be cause of their tax exemption features. An issue of Topeka 5 54 bonds at this time probably could be marketed readily in the east at par if sold di rect. If local dealers handle them, they of course will want a commission. If the city plan to market these bonds as the money Is needed, probably the whole issue would be absorbed by local investors, as has been the case with paving bonds. A Topeka EH bond would almost certainly sell at a premium long be fore it fell due. King Constantino takes no .chances. He declined to return home without a. formal invitation. Probably he Is wise to the uncertainty of the public mind. A vote of 98 per cent in his favor would have been enough for most men. MORE CARS THAN FREIGHT. There exists in the United States at present, says the Railway Age, a con dition which has not existed before for five years except during a few months in 1919. That is that the rail roads are able to handle more freight than the shippers are offering to them. In spite of the fact that the railways are handling more freight than ever before at this time of year, they now have a large amount of surplus ca pacity. For the first time since before this country entered the war, the traf fic departments are actively soliciting business. The Age gives warning, however, that this condition cannot possibly last long. It predicts that within a few months there will again be an acute congestion of traffic and shortage of cars. Shippers who can ship now, but fail to do so, should not then com plain, it says, because they cannot get cars. Among the reasons given for the belief that there will soon be a re vival of railroad traffic on a larger scale than ever, are the following: Larger quantities of products are being held on the farms than ever before in history. In any event they cannot be held long, and it will be only a short time until there will be a large increase in the movement- of farm products. Lumber Is one of the very largest Items of railroad traffic. All over the country the stocks in tho retail lumber yards are low, while in the northwest and the south the lum ber manufacturers have on hand much larger quantities of lumber cut and ready for shipment than ever before. Conditions will force the retail lum ber dealers to begin soon to buy in large quantities. The stocks of the re tail raerchants of the country general ly are greatly depleted. They, like the lumber retailers, must soon' begin to buy. Vast appropriations have been made by the various state and munici pal governments for the construction of new highways. Highway engineers estimate that for every mile of im proved roads built, one hundred car loads of material must be hauled. Coal affords over one-third of all the tonnage of the railroads. The stocks of coal on hand are not large and the coal traffic is almost certain to con tinue heavy. These are among the conditions it holds which indicate that In a few months there is bound to he a great increase of railroad traffic. The railways have been going ahead rapidly for months repairing locomo tives and cars and rehabilitating their other facilities, and they undoubtedly can handle more business now than ever before. But the total increase in facilities has been small, and the fur ther increase in them which can be made within the next six months will be small. Therefore if, as seems cer tain, there shall be within a few months another great revival of traf fic it is believed by the Age that the capacity of the roads will again be found unequal to the demands. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC 3. HASKIX, Director. Washington, D. C. THE TUADK IX I MM CITY. Washington, X. C, Dec. 7. Do you realize that you rn.ay now be made immune from some of the worst dis eases in the world by anti-toxins guar anteed by the United States govern ment, and that new anti-toxins are constantly being made and tested? The government public health lab oratories are working on serums for scarlet fever, tuberculosis, bubonic plague, and influenza. An anti-toxin for anthrax, the cattle disease which men have been contracting from shav ing brushes Infested with the germs, has been produced by government scientists, tho it is not yet known whether it will prove successful in all cases. A Japanese scientist working along similar lines told army doctors re cently that he is developing a serum for yellow fever. Already he has been able to delay tho instant death which yellow fever usually brings, and he expects to be able to prevent death in almost every case when his serum is perfected. Most promising of all for immediate results is the serum to prevent diph theria, for this has passed the stages of experimentation, and is now being put to practical use. Some time ago a way was found to ascertain whether or not an individual can take diphtheria, and a means was developed, similar to vaccination against smallpox, to protect those who r liahiA to It To Droduce a serum or vaccine is a long and tedious m-ocess. and to get people to accept it is still more difficult. New Y-erk has beeun to use the test and the pro tective injections in its dispensaries and clinics. And now the New York public schools are planning to see that every child belonging to tne scnooi sys tern is immune from diphtheria. The process, known as the Schick test, is a simple one. A few drops of a prepared diphtheria toxin are In jected into the arm of the subject. If a red spot appears in two or three days the person is not immune from the disease. If such a spot does not appear, he is immune. Those who are liable to diphtheria are then safe guarded by injections of a mixture of diphtheria toxin, or poison, and anti toxin. This vaccine does not pass out of the system in a few months as the antitoxin given in diphtheria cases does. Its protective influence seems to be permanent, or at least to last a number of years. Reducing Diphtheria. This is an Important process, scarcely less so than the original anti toxin discover', which has cut down the number of diphtheria deaths from one out of three cases to one out of five when antitoxin is promptly used. From tests so far made, the doctors conclude that a large proportion of babies are immune from diphtheria. When the third or fourth year is reached, the percentage of immunity has dropped to its lowest point. Chil-r dren of that age are especially sus ceptible. In older children the num ber of immune increases, and the ma jority of adults are not susceptible to aipntneria. It will, still require some time to popularize precaution against diph theria, just as it took time to make vaccination an aceepted bit of routine. Two hundred years ago almost every body had smallpox some time during his life. Then vaccine was discovered, people were convinced of its value, and now a case or two of smallpox in a town is a rare calamity. The same things should be true of diphtheria when the Schick test and protective injections become part of the health regulations of every community. So much depends on the quality ana content of each dose of a serum or other biological product that the gov ernment maintains a strict supervision over the production of those in con stant use. In the case of some prod ucts the pneumonia and meningitis serums and salvarsan. which is a rem edy for syphilis a manufacturer must send samples out of every lot made to the public health service at Washing ton. Here theyvare analyzed and tried out on animals. If the animals die, or if the sample does not contain the exact proportion of ingredients as stated, it is sent back to the firm and the lot must be destroyed. As this means a serious loss to a firm, these Droducts are made with great care. Comparatively little Is rejected about 5 per cent or salvarsan, lor example: 15 per cent of pneumonia serum, and almost none of anti-toxin. Anti-toxin and the rest of the bio logical products Inspected by the gov ernment are not examined so regu larly as the three Just mentioned, but from time to time samples are tested) out for strength and quality. Size of the Industry. Making and inspecting these prod ucts is an important business in this country. There are around thirty companies manufacturing them in the United States, compared with not more than half a dozen in other countries. These thirty laboratories turn out $9,000;00o worth of biological prod ucts a year. Salvarsan is the' biggest item, then anti-toxin. Salvarsan. while included here. Is not properly a biological product at all, but its manufacture is so delicate a matter, and it is injected as a serum, so the government includes it in Its supervision. Salvarsan is really a chemical compound. Its efficiency de pends on the amount of arsenic it contains- If there is too much, the patient will die; if too little he gets no benefit from the treatment. It was a long time before chemists achieved this concoction of arsenic which would be strong enough to cure but not kill. To make sure that it is just right a sample dose out of every lot made is injected into rats at -the laboratory. Rats are used because they happen to respond to that par ticular disease and treatment more lige human beings than any other animal. Only one biological product rabies vaceine is. made by the government at the hygienic laboratory ,V and the public health service would gladly turn over their work to the state lab oratories except for the fact that scarcely enough Is called for to make it worth while for most states to bother with it. The government sends out 2,000 treatments of rabies vaccine a year, all over the country. -The vaccine is made from the spinal cord of a rabbit that has been injected with rabies. The cord is dried to a certain state, and then preserved in glycerine to keep it from drying fur ther. Only about one-quarter of an Inch I is used for a dose, but twenty one doses have to be injected in the patient, one each day for three weeka This is the least used of the vac cines, but it is one of the most valu able because it is the only preventive of hydrophobia known. The person who has been bitten bv a mad door and who receives the vaccine treatment at once has only one chance in 200 ot I dying from rabies. But if the symp toms develop before the first Injection .is made there is no remedy. Rabies Vaccine. I Rabies vaccine is the most expen sive of the biological products, cost ing from $23 to $50 lor the course of twenty-one injections. Diphtheria antitoxin is much cheaper. A tube of 2,000 units, a usual treatment, costs $4 or $5 now. Smallpox vaccine is cheapest of .all the products, at about 20 cents a dose, ana only one aose is needed. The comparatively high price Dlaced on most of the serums is due mainly to the fact that they deterior ate after a time and become weak or altogether useless. Besides creating -new oioiogicai products and safeguardng those on which the general public depends, the government has one other duty in connection with them. That is to try to keep useless serums off the mar ket. In this the federal government has only a limited control. It can, and does, refuse a license to a maker of a serum known to be valueless or harm ful, so that he cannot ship it out of the state in which it is made. This keeps htm from doing an extensive business, but It does not prevent him from selling his goods thruout the state. That is a matter for the state health officials to regulate. The government has refused its li censes to makers of serum's for tuber culosis because no such successful serum has yet been produced. It has refused licenses for some cold and hay fever serums which were uniform ly worthless. There are numbers of these last on the market, and they vary widely in value. Still another type of remedy refused a license by the government was a rattlesnake serum which the owner proclaimed as a sure cure for epileptic fits, but which medical specialists pronounced entire. ly lacking in the power ascribed to it. The Woman He Married VBY JANE PHELPS A CLOAK AXD ITS RESULT. CHAPTER 12. For weeks after mother left what she had said often recurred to me, Dick and I were usually happy and contented when we were together, and we were both immensely fond and proud of Junior.. But when I was alone, or with Clara Watson and oth ers, all my discontent came back to me. I made many resolutions usually when Dick had been unusually affec tionate, or had tried to please me by cringing me some little gift, but al most as often as I made them I broke tne.m. 1 missed mother dreadfully. She was so competent, so absolutely satisfying. I-don't think I had the slightest idea now mucn sne naa done lor us all that month until she was cone. Jack's people had written us a very nice family letter when thev heard aDout junior. His mother sent a won derful christening robe, his sister i dainty cloak. "One would think ha was a million aire's baby instead of a poor clerk's Kia, wouldn't they?" Dick said as he examined the gifts. "I thought mother naa more sense. "I don't see why you say that!" I bridled at once. "Even if she didn't seem to care very much for me, Junior is her grandson, and she probably wants nim to nave nice tnings." "Hear! Hear! Of course he's her grandson, but unless she expects to go on dressing him, she shouldn't have sent a thing like that. He's no so ciety kid, are you. Junior?" "I Just love it! And the cloak, too.. I shall write at once and tell them so. We must, have his picture taken just as soon as we can and send it to them. We'll have it taken in his christening robe, with the cloak thrown over the chair." "Got it all doped out, haven't you? I had it in mind to write the mater to send more practical things when she sent anything, but as you are so pleased I had better keep still." "I should say you had! Why, If you did that they might never send him anything nice again. We can buy the practical things ourselves." I then showed him some other things our friends had sent Junior. Clara Watklns had made him the dearest bonnet, and Emelie Wood, an other friend, had fitted out his baby basket with all sorts of dainty and useful things. But the gift that aston ished me the most, and I think it did Dick, too, was an exquisite pair of soft blankets from Mrs. Stowell. "I never dreamed she would think of sending us anything," I said, while Dick frowned. 't vlah h hadn't! We can't keep up their pace so can't be at all inti- mate with them. "You were before we married." "Yes, because then I had no one but myself to think of. Until I met you and commenced to save so we could get married I spent my money care lessly as most bachelors are inclined to do." T. too. felt a little annoyed that Mrs. Stowell had sent the blankets, lovely as they were. But I didn't say so to Dick. Mother had given the baby a go- cart. Just a simple little light arrair that I could push without tiring. But his lovely cloak and bonnet aia nor show to any advantage, and I urged Dick to buy a carriage. "How much do they cost, Aanj Dick asked after I had urged him sev eral times to buy one. "A nice one, the kind I want, costs about $40 now. They used to be $25 before the war." "It's after the war now. Dear, and we haven't yet settled down to where poor folks can afford the lnnatea prices. I think it would be criminal to pay $40 for a carriage, especially as he doesn't really need it. The air is what he needs, and he gets the same ozone in a go-cart that he would get in an expensive carriage." "How stupid you talk! Don't you think that I need any consideration? Other women have maids to take their children out. If I am willing to play maid, you should not make me feel so mortified. We have tne prettiest baoy, and he has the best looking cloak and bonnet of any in the neighborhood, and I an going to have a carriage that will show him off!" I said it firm ly. I saw that I must be firm with Dick if I ever expected to have any thing as I wanted it. "I was afraid that cloak and dress would make trouble," Dick said, not crossly, but seriously. "I'll think it over. Dear, and tonight we'll decide. Now I must run along." Then to my utter astonishment, he turned and said: "I want to talk over our finances with you tonight, anyway. You never have told me what you bought with that money you drew from tke bank. And Nan. don't set your heart on that carnage.'

"You'll never get married until you settle down," warned Aunt Julia, nip ping off her thread and looking over her sewing glasses at her niece who was executing a new dance step be tween her rocker and tne Kitcnen range. And I'll never settle down until I get married," flashed Roberta, "be cause then I'll sure enough have to!" It's all rery well to scorn my ad vice," said Aunt Julia severely. "But this going here, there and everywhere, first with one, then with another, doesn't get you anywhere. It's going steadily with one that does it." But Roberta was not impressed. Marriage, as endured by her two older sisters, held no such alluring charms as to make her crazy to try it. At the same time that Aunt Julia was speaking her mind to her niece, Bren ton's elderly practitioner was putting his hand on his successor's shoulder and telling him a few things that would be of advantage to him as he took up the work the older man- was laying down. 'At first, the place will doubtless strike you as a dead little hole." he said, "but remember, 'things aren't always what they seem,' and I assure you there s a good opportunity for the right man to build up a practice. Brenton's a coming town." "Thanks, doctor." said young Doug las Campbell, "I'll try to make good." And with his first patient, who happened to be Aunt Julia, the new doctor made especially good. Roberta did not meet the much- talked-of Doctor Campbell until sev eral weeks after his arrival. But long before she saw him she heard bis praises sung. "In fact," she said to herself one afternoon as he drove-by the window and roused Aunt Julia to flights of oratory in his behalf, "I'm getting a bit fed up with that man." And then one night he came to sup per. Possibly the doctor accepted that invitation the more readily because he had recently caught a glimpse of a decidedly good-looking girl at Miss Julia's. Aunt Julia certainly prided herself on the doctor's acceptance, and she and Roberta's mother plotted to do themselves proud in the way of fried chicken and snowy bisouits and dam so m plum jam and Lady Baltimore pake. Roberta hung around and watched the preparations with amusement. So much fuss over a man young enough to be their son. She hoped he was worth it. "I suppose I can start the victrola going after supper and we can dance," she suggested hopefully. Both her mother and aunt turned to look at her. "Dance" -they ques tioned in unison. "You forget the doc tor is a man," said Aunt Julia gently. "not one of your boy friends. And if you ever want to win the attentions of a really worth-while person, Roberta, you want to be less flighty. But I'm not sure it's you? childi" she fin ished, with a sigh. Roberta regarded her thoughtfully. Then she dimnled. Her aunt's words had the effect of a challenge. Exactly five minutes before supper time tne guest arrived, supper was served on the dot. But Roberta was ten minutes late. And her entrance lost none of Its effectiveness thereby. Her mother paused in the act of pour ing the doctor's cup of tea her aunt broke, off abruptly in the midst of a flow of conversation. What had hap pened to Roberta? In place of the curly mop of hair customarily adorning her well-shaped head, she wore a coiffure so sleek and demure as to have become a Puritan maiden. Her plainest dress had been shorn of its fancy collar and turned In at the throat. Her very expression. as she slipped Into her chair, was of the butter-wouldn t-melt-in-her-mouth variety. And thruout the meal her conversation was limited to "Yes" and "No" and "If you please," quite a con trast to her usual lively, interested comments on things in general. After supper she gave her mother and aunt no chance to rebuke her by accorn panying them to the kitchen as they cleared the table, but seated herself in the living roomand made a great ore- fense of doing something with Aunt Julia's knitting needles. Out in the kitchen her aunt and mother doing the dishes discussed her queer ways a"nd hurried their work that the doctor might not b left too long to his own devices. But the doctor was i not exactly bored. He was thinking to himself that there was a mistake somewhere. Suddenly across .his mind flashed, ap parently irrelevantly, the words of the old doctor: "Things aren't always what they seem!" The words of the dog gerel hummed in his brain. Turning to Roberta: "Do you enjoy dancing?" he asked suddenly. "Enjoy dancing? Dancing?" ac cented Roberta. Then, politely: "Do ycu?" "I should say so," said the doctor. "I can't tell you how I've missed it." "I didn't suppose a grave personage like a doctor ever did anything so frivolous as dance," commented Ro berta primly. "Try me and see," said the man, smiling and nodding at the victrola in th? corner. For a moment Roberta hesitated. She had intended to carry her bluff thru, just to prove she could. But the doctor's glance was too inviting. With a toss of her knitting into work basket, she Jumped up. put on a record and pushed the lever. "Music?" said Roberta's mother, as she put away the last plate. "That fox trot?" said Aunt Julia, hanging up her dish towel. Together they peeked in thru the door. What they saw was Roberta in the arms of their caller whirling about in such close quarters as to invite bumps and bangs irom cnair legs and table cor ners, but evidently oblivious to the fact. The two women tiptoed back to the kitchen. He likes her!" said one. "She likes him!" said the other. "And. you know," continued her mother. "I was so provoked when she came In with that rig on. Here you and I had gone to all the work of showing her what a real man was like,' and hoping he'd take to her a little. But I guess it's all right now." That it was all rgiht was evident about' a year later when Aunt Julia and her sister were called upon to fashion all sorts of lovely garments for a bride-to-be. And it was not un natural that they took unto themselves entire credit for the match But Douglas and Roberta, discussing on the last night of their engagement their favorite lovers conundrum "When did you first know you loved me?" decided that no earthly agency J had brought about their happiness. It was fate destiny the decree of ,the gods. "It's funny that the first ques tion you asked me was if I could dance." said Roberta suddenly. "Oh, not so very." said the doctor off-hand, thinking of the dear way Roberta's eyelashes curled at the ends, "altho, of course. I knew you could." "You did?" cried Roberta in aston ishment. "To be sure." said, the doctor. "I was in Nortonville on a call and on my way back I looked in at the lawn club dance, and the prettiest girl on the floor, dancing with her head thrown back, her eyes full of the joy of living, they told me was Roberta, Dean. And I said to myself, "That's the sort of a girl a serious-minded old codger like me ought to marry; a happy-go-luckyi comrade to go down the path of life with, lightening the cares along the way.' "And I didn't fool you at all," re proached Roberta. Then, with a toss of her head, "I don't care!" she said. and held up her lips to be kissed.

Parents are wrong from every point j of. view in making a child turn over all of his or her earnings to them. For one thing, it works a great Injus tice, in that nearly always it forces the industrious and saving members of a family to toil to support the loaf ers. In almost every family there is someone who has been born too tired to work and who simply will not stick to a job as long as he or she is certain of three square meals a day and com fortable shelter. Nearly always there is a butterfly in the family who will have good clothes, and go to places of amusement. And strangely enough, this idler Is nearly always mama's pet. and she will take the money of the hard-working cmyiren ana give it to the spender. I have known dozens of cases in which frail girls were made, v by their mothers, to turn over their money to her so that she could eive it to their -worthless brother, and I have known other cases in which a brother was literally worked to death to suDDort lazy and extravagant sisters. This is most unfair, but justice has no place in the repertoire of parents, andthey are ever ready to sacrifice their good children to the prodigal sons and daughters. For the parents to reaulre their Mill. dren to turn over their pay envelopes to mem, Kins an ambition, and stran gles the sense of thrift at its birth. There are few of us who are so all- urea industrious that we work Just lor the pleasure of working. The habit of industry may have become so ingrained in us that we love work for work's sake, when we are old; but wnen we are young, we work simply for the sake of the reward. We work for the money that will buy us the pleasures we want. We work because we have a vision of tho kind nf a house we want to live in, and the sort of a car we want to own. and the position we want to hold, when we are forty. But if, at the end of the week, all we have worked for is taken from us, if we are no better off than we were at the beginning of it, then our incen tive if gone, the hope and inspiration are swept away, and the -thing that turned work into a means an end is lacking, and it all becomes a purpose less, endless drudgery. That's the reason that so many boys and girls who are bright enough, and capable enough, never take any inter est in their work and never get any where. They never receive the re ward for their labor, so they shrug their shoulders and say, "What's the use?" Their greedy and grasping fa thers and mothers kill the goose that lays the golden egg when they rob their children of their pay envelope. I do not mean to imply that chil dren should not .support their parents if their parents need to be supported, or that they should not help their pa rents. It is their sacred duty to do so, but they should do so in their own way. They should handle the money they make themselves, and themselves De xne judge or what is a fair and rea sonable divide. v The boy and girl who work should not be made to support idle brothers and sisters. They should have the chance to save up something to start uie on tnemselves. and they should have the ineffable Joy of owning their own individual pocketbooks.

!tr Another Insurance company in Kan sas In which three generations are ac tively engaged haa been found. It is the firm of Alex. K. Case Son, of Marion. Alexander E. case, rounaer of the agency, is now pant 82 years old, having come to Marion fifty-four years ago, where he established the busi ness in 1869, when Marlon was little more than a small collection of log shanties. Cum to Kansas In 186(1. Case came to Kansas in April, 1SBB. lived two months in Topeka and then, with two others, took a prairie schooner trip to Marion, 112 miles Alex. K. Case. distant. From Topeka they followed a trail across the prairies, passing only three houses until the Old Santa Fe trail was reached, then followed the Santa. Fa trail to Council Grove, pass ing two or three more little log houses, which were the onlv evidence of civilization. When they reached the settlement in Marion county they found thirteen log shanties, around which the town of the future was to grow. Case was a member of the Kansas legislature In 1889. One afternoon. when the House had adjourned a man came up to him as he was sitting at his desk and asked: Xothing to Insure. "Is this Mr. Case, of Marlon county? Well, my name is Clarkson and I am state agent for the Aetna Insurance company, and I want to make you our agent for Marion county." "But thf re is nothing to insure In Marion county except a few log shan ties." Case replied. "Well, there will be in time," re plied Clarkson. Case protested that he knew noth ing of tho insurance business, upon which the agent assured him that "he would soon learn." Case declared he had no time to devote to the business already having more work that he could attend to. "Well. I am going to appoint you anyway," asserted his visitor. "Give it what time you can." Whereupon he sat down and wrote out the appoint ment. In Business 53 Years. Soon afterward a Leavenworth com pany, the name of which Case has forgotten, appointed him as its agent, but soon went out of business. He be came the first, and for years the only insurance agent in Marion county. For fifty-three years he has' been actively engaged in the business and every day finds him at his desk, well and hearty. In 1S87 his son, Kosse Case, came into the business as his partner. In April. 1917, his son, Alexander H. Case, enlisted in the army, served overseas, was taken prisoner in the Argonne fight, was seven weeks a prisoner of the Germans, was afterward honorably discharged, came home and in April, 1919. when he was 21 years old. was taken into partnership in the firm, making three generations in the busi ness. In addition, his sister. Corinne 'ase. who graduated from the Marion high school in 1919, is now an efficient assistant in the office of Case Son. Represent 21 Companies. j Twenty-four insurance companies are represented by the firm. Pre miums on the insurance written bv this agency in 1919 amounted to more than J50.009, and this year thev will amount to more than J63.000. This is the oldest established agency in the United States of the Commercial Union of London and the oldest established agency in Kansas of the Great Ameri can. "Great changes have taken plac? in Kansas since 18S6." Mr. Case declared. "It took me seven days to make the trip from Pennsylvania to Kansas, and many times I had to recheck my bag gage.

Few German Toys If ere. There are a few G reman toys on tha counters of the toy shops in Topeka, ready for the holiday trade. But they are of a type which la not manufac tured in the United States, and which is not likely to compete with American made toys. The cheaper, clock-work operated mechanical toys are coming; in a small quantity from Germany to Topeka. Some of the toys were destined to have gladdened the hearts of American kid dies six years ago. before the kaiser knocked the thought of Christmas out of the heads of his own people and of the world, with his Idea of making himself a Christmas present of Paris. Cargoes of toys whioh have been held in Germany since before the war are being shipped to the United States at the present time. But the strides which have been taken by the. industry in America have left even the tradi tional toy manufacturers of the Rhine land far In the rear, and e.t least one Topeka toy dealer believes that they will never catch up. Toledo leads the World. Toledo. Ohio, makes more wheeled toys than any other city on the face of the earth, either in Germany or the united btates, according to informa tion gathered at Topeka toy counters. There are three huge factories there which turn out velocipedes, coaster wagons, express wagons, toy automo biles of the "kick-along" persuasion, and other wheeled toys. One of them Is the pioneer factory for that sort of! toys in world, and maintains its nrea- tige as the largest factory of the sort in existence. The kiddie car. of which there are some fifteen varieties and types on the market, is not onlv. American in manufacture, but the idea was strict ly Yankee, and all the kiddie cars of whatever type are made in this coun try. Most of them come from Ver mont. They Cost More. Doll carriages, "with wlckerwork tops and bodies, are now made Ih the United States, and they cost much more than they used to cost, on that account. Formerly the wheels and gears were made in Yankeeland, and in Belgium the wickerwork bodies were woven, at a far less cost than they could have been produced on this side of the Atlantic. Belgium even since the war has turned her manu facturing talents to other services, and the wickerwork is now woven in this country. German bisque dolls, and the In dustry connected with their manufac facture. were lost to Germany when the kaiser lost his war. Lost Bio; Income. Not onfy did Germany lose her hope of dominating the world, but she lost a very comfortable income from the manufacture of bisque dolls, when the kaiser's war soured on his hands. Germany used to make the best dolls in the world, but the Yankees, who were able to go the Fritz one better when it came to manufacturing deadly gases and long distance aeroplanes, were just as able to beat Jerry at the doll-making game. There are now on the markets doll heads made of a composition which are better than the bisque dolls, and which can be sold at a less price than the German ar ticle. The composition doll heads are Just as sweet as they can be, too partly because one of the elements In their composition is molasses. Bisque Dolls Are Scarce. There are still a very few high priced bisque, doll heads in stock in this country. wh,ich have not yet been sold, but they are few and far be tween, and cut no real figure on the Topeka market. When it comes to the higher classes of mechanical toys, the Yanks have always had it on the Germans. Their mechanical toys have always been bet ter. in the higher types, with better finish, and more durability. B. B. Phillips, manager of the toy department of Emahizer Speilman Furniture company, believes that the labor situation in Germany and other countries where the toys were made before the war will keep down the manufacture in those countries. I'. S. Makes Much Psngress. T. F. Rickenbacher, manager of the toy department of the Fair store, be lieves that many lines of toys which were always imported before the war, will never be seen In their foreign form in the United States again. Too much progress has been made by the Americans to permit the Germans to catch up. Standardization is the ex planation again just as in the Ford features. There will be an ample supply of toys for all the good boys and giris Dedication of a fine new M. E. church edifice, a chief event of Sun day. THURSDAY. mm. F 2. Truancy on increase in Topeka schools; 650 cases of "hookey" report ed for year 1920. who get their letters across to Saint Nicholas this year, Mr. Rickenbacher believes, fco far there has been no trouble in getting toy orders filled. and the array of tot-tickling apparatus which will be on sale in Topeka this year is larger than it has been for several years past, even as the demand is going to be greater. Toy Trade Starts. Trade in toys for Christmas has al ready started. Indications are that the money which was buying shells and rifles two or three years ago, and possibly booze, last year, is going to be used in the purchase of toys this year. With the increased variety on show, and the ample supply, this should be a banner year for the kid dies. And, strange to relate, prices on practically all lines of toys are said to be fairly reasonable this year. They are not only lower than they were during the war period, but they seem to be reflecting the general decrease even more than the staple lines of "necessities." Data From New York. The data gathered In Topeka are backed by a statement from Harry C. Ives of New York City, president of the Toy Manufacturers' Associa tion of the United States. "There will be plenty of American made toys of endless variety for American children this Christmas," says Ives. "Our own compilation of figures based upon monthly reports from our members and the statistics of the United States department of com merce prove conclusively that the American production of toys of all kinds, from the simplest dolls to the most elaborate mechanical playthings, is not only sufficient to supply the needs of our children but also that we have been able to export this year more than $3,000,000 worth of dolls, toys and playthings. Bis; Production This Year. "The American' production of toys for 1920 is, conservatively, 180,000. 000. Of that total $15,000,000 repre sents the production of dolls. Government figures compiled by the department of commerce show that the exports of American toys in 1914 the last normal pre-war year were $809,120 while the same com pilation shows that for the ten months ending September 1, 1920, the exports of American toys to forty-seven coun tries was $3,102,530. The American export is very steady as indicated by the fact that for the ten months in question the highest monthly figures were $496,275 and the lowest $229. 57$ with a monthly average of $310,253. "The fact that we are able to supply the home market' and still export $3,000,000 in toys is, to my mind at least, pretty clear evidence of the fact that, as I said at the beginning of this interview, there will be plenty ef American toys this Christmas for American children." "Will the price of American toys be higher this Christmas than during the 1919 holidays?" Mrl Ives was asked. "The price of toys of American manufacture will be lower'this Christ mas than they were in 1914 when the purchasing power of the dollar is con sidered altho in dollars and cents they will cost more. Despite an increase in materials, labor and general overhead ranging from 505 to 300 per cent- in the toy industry, the price of toys has advanced less in proportion than the staple product of other American in dustries SETE SENTENCE PKRMONS.

Sixth District News Notes Items and Reminiscences by An Old Timer With His Ear to the Grass Roots. BY HARRY ROOT. The best town of its size in the state" is the motto the Jennings peo ple have given their town. As early as 1874 Warren Jennings came to Deca tur county with his family, home- steaded, and started a store on the Prairie Dog stream, a mile from the now thrifty town of Jennings, which, was afterwards named for him. Your correspondent remembers the trading post, which was originally named Slab City. The family struggled and fought hard times and Indians for several years. His store was patronized by the buffalo trappers, the white cov ered prairie schooners and their oc cupants, and at times friendly Indians. He succeeded in getting a postoffice started in Slab City, the mail coming by horseback from Norton, 80 miles east. Few years later a weekly mail route was started at Lenora, the pres ent terminus of the North Solomon branch of the Missouri Pacific, its terminus being Oberlin. Later on the mail was increased to twice a week. The Jenningses, father and son, started in the stock industry. The buffalo were numerous, and to a large degree helped to provide for the table needs. Now and then the season would be favorable for the growing of crops. Among some of the oldest set tlers were J. P. Rouse, O. E, Munson. I. L. Jordan and J. I. Taylor. In 1888 the Rock Island surveyors ran. a line up the Prairie Dog to where the pres ent town of Jennings is built. For a time there was some strife where the town company would locate their town and what they would name it. Some of them wanted it named Greer. Sev eral names were suggested. It was finally named Jennings and the land was bought of O. E. Munson and I. 1 Jordan. Thirty-two years is a long time since the town was staked off and many of those years the settlers had to undergo untold hardships. Geo. W. Shook was also one of the early timers and. besides being agent for the Rock Island town lot com pany, he started the Echo, a newspa per which he published for upwards of 30 years. Warren Jenninra. ftr town was named, is now dead. His son operates an elevator an does a livestock business. He is mayor; the town having been incor porated several years ago. The place has several live merchants, two banks. churches and schools. The visitor willJ ,j c"ii-hl wains ana a town witn waterworks and electric lights. It Is surrounded by a rich wheat, corn and alfalfa section, with abundant prosperity on all sides. In pioneer times In Phillips county, when the county seat fight was raging furiously, poetry figured in the scrap," so it is claimed. PhillipsbuYg was located "way up in the clouds," the site being on the prairie between the Solomon and Republican rivers, while Kirwin was in the valley of the Solomon. It had a good start, and her townspeople were holding corner lots, at fancy prices. In the election some fellow wrote the following, which was freely circulated: "I'd rather be a hitching post in Phillipsburg, so dry, than a corner lot in Kirwin. say how is that for high?" The county was organized in July. 1872 and Phillipsburg was designated the temporary county seat. In Octo ber, the same year, a special election was held to choose the permanent county seat. xnis town was again chosen. While the fight was at fevr heat no blood was spilled. On the! day of election there were more buf fa'o and antelope in the county than inhabitants, and their meat kept many settlers from starvation. At the time the organization of the county there wasn't a building on the town site. Three railroads now run. thru the county. There was shipped in the county In 1873 several carloads of provisions and distributed to the needy, donated by the state, as well as contributions from other states. Your correspondent witnessed the building of three court houses in Phillipsburg. Judge W. H. Pratt came to the county in May. 1871. He was admitted to the bar in 187C. In 1881 he was elected Judge of the Sev enteenth district. In a noted case when Judge Joel Holt was serving the district, and Pratt was county at torney, he was trying a case, which resulted in securing from the defend ant's property every dollar of the TnnV.

Assembly of Shawnee county teach- ers heard several good talks at the High school auditorium. costs, amounting to about $800, and this, too, after the defendant had con veyed the same awary with the Inten tion of defeating the county out of the collection of the costs. Judge Holt said it was the first case of the kind in his knowledge where a county se cured the costs out of the defendant's property. Both Holt and Pratt, who served the district several terms, are dead. The first court held in the county was in 1873, in a school house, and the buffaloes came so close Judge Holt adjourned court. Geo. W. Shook, of Jennings, an old newspaper pioneer, is a candidate for chief doorkeeper of the legislature, a position he haa made good for the last two sessions. Northwest Kansas is being 'drilled full ot holes to find oil and gas. So far neither has turned up. The writer of these notes witnessed the sinking of holes in the following Sixth district towns: Lebanon, Athol, Bellaire and Cedar, in Smith county; Oberlin. Kan ona, Jennings and Traer, in Decatur county; Lincoln, Vesper and Sylvan Clmvs in T .i n r rnnntv Pnllvor Trego county; Ellsworth and Wilson in Ellsworth county; and Goodland, Sher man county. Nor is this all, for drills are plugging away in other towns. In Lincoln salt was found and the oil rprospect was abandoned. In Ells worth gas was bit, but not or sufficient quantity to further develop it. There is talk of reviving the alfalfa meal mill plants in some Sixth district towns. At one time mills were in op eration In Beloit, Mankato, Kirwin, Lebanon, Norton and other points, names now forgotten, and for the same reason the gas and oil wells were abandoned, these alfalfa meal mills closed down. Northwest raises lots of alfalfa, there la enough stock to eat it, hence the stockholders didn't get any dividends out of them. Land is getting high priced in Os borne county. The Craney tract," of 70 acres, adjolnting Downs, was re cently sold for $19,250. It isn't everybody who is holding office who would resign these times. This is what H. A. Dawson did. He had held the office of city clerk, of Russell, for 25 years, and resigned to give his paper, the Record, more at tention. Another Democrat has resigned his office. F. W. Boyd, postmaster of Phillipsburg. wants to be relieved, so he can put in more time on his Post newspaper. There Is money raising poultry in Rooks county. Not only do the hus bands make money raising stock, corn and wheat but the wives do the same raising chickens and turkeys. Mrs. E. H. Hulse hatched about 300 turkeys and cared for them. The wolves killed 100 of them, and a few died, leaving her about 200 for the good. She took them to the Stockton produce buyers, and received a check for $720 or an average of $$.45 each. Some of them sold for and $7 apiece. She also raised ever 300 chickens. She did all the work of raising poultry besides did her housework, and cooked for harvest laborers. Corn Is so cheap In Smith county. 30 cents a bushel, that one of her farmers wants to trade 2.000 bushels for an automobile, and will have no objections to a Ford car. Coal Is so high thousands of bushels of corn will be burned in that county this winter. There was a town staked off in De catur county in January, 1879, known as the St. John Town Site Co.. named after Governor St. John. The capital stock was only $700, hardly enough to financially cramp the promoters. The Incorporators were all Belleville iff! men, Wm. H. Woodward, Ed.

Hun Explosives Turned Into Silks V Made) to tJse Against Yanks in Trenches, Now Being Sold to Amer ican Women for Gowns. Berlin, Dec. II. Factories which formerly made the stuff to deal death ion the west fronCare now turning out wondrous artificial silk to adorn womankind and mankind. The artificial silk industry, already underway before the war, has been greatly augmented and is now in a position to establish a considerable competition not alone with the real silk industry, but with the artificial silk factories of other lands. German experts are striving now to overcome the drawbacks attendant upon the artificial brand, or "Kunst seide," as they call it. Dampness has a deteriorating, effect but research work shows that this disadvantage will soon be disposed of. American buyers are manifesting a strong interest in the new business and declare that there is a great demand for this product. Herr Geheimrat Hagemann, chief of the artificial silk branch of the gov ernment's economic ministry, told the United Press: "This silk was made In Germany even before the war in considerable quantities. But the demand for it has increased since the war, since the spirit of all peoples since the war and revo lutionary period is for a better life and this is expressed in one way thru the universally prevalent desire or the wo man's world for gay colors. "In addition to the old silk factories of pre-war times, there are now a number of former explosive factories engaged in producing the artificial product. This is explained by the fact that both explosives an artificial silk are derived from cellulose. Among others, the big explosive factories in Koeln-Rottweil are being converted into silk factories, while the explosive factory at Zehlendorf, near here, along with numerous other factories are en gaged in the same occupation. "This Industry is especially Impor tant for Germany because we do not need to import the raw materials therefor. And, despite the fact that in recent weeks the industry has been limited by coal shortage, the nation is producing a considerable quantity of the raw silk as well as finished pro ducts like neckties, ribbons, cords and so on. We feel that we are especially in a position to meet competition since we know about dyeing, and the goods have proven durable and of manifold variety." Geheimrat Indicated his belief that the pre-war demand for German "mode-articles" would spring up again, especially since Germany was in a position to deliver them on the world market at low prices. Recently American experts have been looking over the field, and it is believed that they are either preparing to buy large quantities of the German product or else to attempt to acquire German silk factories.

Just as the price of candy went up when sugar soared in price, so candy's pride must take a fall with the drop in the sugar market. Drop in Candy Prices. "Candy we make Is being cut down t and 10 cents on the pound," W. T. Brown, manager of the candy depart ment of the Poehler Mercantile com pany, said today. "The hard candies so popular at Christmas time that we make are being sold at wholesale lor as low as 2C and 23 cents a pound, wholesale. "Of course one should not expect that candy should come down as much in price of a pound as does sugar, for candy Is not pure sugar," Brown said. "Nuts, chocolate, cocoanut and other heavy ingredients are to be considered In the weight of a pound of candy. A delightful decrease in candy prices is announced by the George Reklites company. "Our candies are all 25 to 60 per cent cheaper," Reklites said. "Can8ies that were $1.60 a pound are 80 cents now, and we have some candles at 60, 50 and 40 cents a-pound that have not been sojd at such a price since 1914." A drop In candy prices Is announced by the Hindman Grocery, with a prom ise of a greater drop by January 1. Boxed candies sold at Hlndman's for $1.25 are now being; offered for $1.00 and a noticeable decrease is found in what Is called "pan" goods, or the kind of candy that comes in tin con tainers. Bigger Drop Later. That it is not an easv matter for candy to be cheaper even tho sugar is cneaper. is tne opinion of Mrs. W. O. Ribgy of the Rigby Candy store. When best of materials are put into candy and labor remains high the decrease In candy price is small, especially when candy dealers purchased sugar at high prices, sne said that a decided, de crease .in candy prices might come later. For the first time since "ante-bellum days" mother and the girls and often the boys are spending evenings in tne Kitchen making Christmas candy. For several years the making of Christmas candy has been only a memory of the "good old days," but with sugar at 10 cents, father says: "Go to it; you probably can save money over the ready made candy."

Peeping out from under the edge of the guide is just the bare corner of a five dollar bill. Now the bill looks very much as if some one had care lessly left it lying there to be 'covered when the book was laid down on it. There is apparently, no one Interested In it. The ticket clerks have a way of seeing things out of the corners of their eyes and they have several times been treated to the spectacle of the five-dollar William being extracted casually, and with more or less deft ness, from under the book.

THERE'S A WOMAN IX OCR TOWN Whose husband has offered to buy her a Ford car but who has held back and hasn't accepted the offer fearing It would jeopardize her social position. But the other day after she had wait ed and watched the mails in vain and listened all day for the phone to ring for news of a party to which she longed to be invited, but to which she was not, she finally gave in. It was the last straw. And now sne a uis possessor of a new Ford. Topeka, Kan., Deeember 11, 19 20. Dear Elizabeth: You remember that clipping you sent me about the Topeka man who was married in New York last week. Well, they have been visiting here and those who were for tunate enough to meet the bride cer tainly did admire her. While the To peka man was an officer with the Thirty-fifth division in France he met a New York girl who was serving in a Military hospital. The romance started then and culminated in their marriage last week. Isn't that excit ing? You were speaking of New York telephones and that made me think of a story a man who has recently re turned from there tells. It's a little scheme carried 'out by business men in New York who have their office in their hat and who don't have any phone number. When they leave a number for a business prospect to call it is usually a public phone number. They hie themselves down to the phone booth, take an "out of order" card from, under their coat, hang it on the phone to keep the public out and proceed to wait for their call. Two women here have been having what must be a very exciting time, calling each other up over the phone. One of the women lives on the east side of town and the other on the west side. The latter woman called up the east side woman recently and asked her if she could find her a maid. "Why, why," stammered the woman addressed, "How should I know where to go to get you a maid?" Well," said the inquirer, "you live right dpwn among them, don't you?" Then the conversation ended. The more the east side woman thought about it the worse she felt, so she finally called the west side woman and began, "Do you sup pose you could find me a colored washwoman?" "Good gracious," splut tered the west side person, "Why do you ask me?" "Oh, X don't know," re plied the inquirer, "You live right out near that neighborhood, don't you?" And then another conversation ended. Did you hear about the Topeka man who was in Washington, D. C. the first of the month and who tried to cash a check as his roll of bills was getting mighty small. He cheerily went to the window at a bank. Iden tification, sure. He drew out his watch halfway, and then, happened to think that it had his father's ini tials on it. Then he thought of his ring, but it bore his brother's initials and he had no little gold letters in his hat band. Finally he pulled out several cards showing he was a mem ber of some Topeka clubs but the cold bank clerk who had beeh watching his motions looked over his head and remarked that "they might be stolen." Finally he bought something in a de partment store and they cashed the check. The man in our town says he 'had a good notion to get a fiftv dollar bill and go back to that clerk and aslc nim for change. That raid you described on the poor little old "Black Cat" down in Green wich village was too funny, tho it was a shame it took ten policemen to raid place that contained but eight bot tles of drinkables. Does the same girl with bobbed hair eat there with the same artist? I hope there is more "going on" socially in New York than there is here. A woman said the other day that between the Red Cross, the tuberculosis drive, Christmas and the starving Chinese, and the Near East solicitations, she was going to be ready for a drive for her own benefit along about the first of the year.
