Illinois Politicians Wait For "Uncle Joe" Cannon To File Candidate Papers Danville, III., Feb. 11. Will Uncle Joe Cannon make the race for con gressman from this district? This is the question that is admittedly trou bling a number of men who openly aspire to fill the veteran's chair in the United, States house of representa tives but who just as openly announce they will ont run if "Uncle" Joe in tends to. "Uncle Joe" has not yet filed his petition as a candidate. His failure to do this yesterday, the first day of th filing, has set the political gossips buzWing with speculation, altho the petition may be filed any time before March Only one man has thus far broken these ranks. He is State Representa tive William P. Holaday, who an nounced recently that he would be a candidate before the April primaries regardless of "Uncle" Joe's decision. Just what Congressman Cannon's political intentions for the immediate future are, is a question. A few months ago when it was announced in Chicago that Uncle Joe wou"not again be a candidate, preparations were being made by several to an nounce their candidacies, when word was received direct from JOanville's fa mous member of congress to the effect that he had not authorized such an nouncement and that he would inform his constituents of his intentions in good time. This blighted the budding hopes of local leaders, with the single excep tion of Representative Holaday. Cannon's relatives and local mana gers declare they have received no in instructions from him regarding the IN FINISH FIGHT Sew York Stock Exchange Helps Authorities. In Effort to Stamp Out "Bucket Shop Ring." Mew York, Feb. 11. State and county officers and officials of the New York stock exchange today; an nounced they had begun a fight to the finish to save the investments of thou sands of men and women in every state in the Union who entrusted their funds to members of the Wall street ..hunket h(m rinir.. ,irhin thfi jfew weeks. Twenty-five brokerage firms. the majority of them members of the rins, went to the wall within the last two months after being caught in the ris ing market. It is estimated that the total liabilities of the shops will be more than J25.0u0.000 and only one of that number is expected to pay as much as 50 cents on the dollar to its creditors. Indictments Expected. The grand jury now in session is ex pected to return indictments against several prominent firms that have members that bucketing operations wm iiv. ue luieraieu. A committee of stock exchange members, alarmed at the widespread activity" and boldness' of the "bucket shop ring," is preparing a report that will be submitted to the main group within the next week, it is believed. This report, it is learned, will advocate that all exchange firms be required to make statements at regular inter vals, similar to those required of banks, showing their financial con dition and scope of operations. Many Are Defrauded. While the stock exchange officials I have been quietlv. trying to sort the j cnange walls the offices ot the district nttnrnpv and the ottnmov nor.l nt the state have been besieged by per sons with hard luck tales of loss in- curred in "the street" within the past fortnight. Frederick C. Rich, assistant attor ney general, says that he has received complaints from investors in Chicago and other cities who tell stories of be ing defrauded over the long distance telephone by crooked brokers who had pictured to them the opportunity to make money by entrusting it to a "legitimate firm." "Before you send your securities to Wall street, consult your home town banker," is the advice Rich gives to security holders in every state who wish to get rich quickly. SHE DOESN'T WANT TO LIVE. Chicago Girl Wounds Self When Love Affair r.t End. Chicago, Feb. 11. "He spurned me I don't want to live" is the plaint today of Miss Ruth Rickeson, 21, as she lies seriously wounded in a hos- 'P'?' Physicians say she may die. The girl shot herself as she.was rid ing in a park with Lawrence Miller, son of a wealthy insurance man. Mil ler, it is said, had just told her their love affair was at an end. Lincoln 's Gettysburg Address (Delivered at the Dedication of the Cemetery in Gettysburg, Nov. 19, 1863.) Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in. liberty, and dedicated to the proposi tion that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war. testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicates we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men. living and dead who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The World will little note, nor long remember.' what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us. the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before usj that from these honored dead we take In creased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation, under God. shall have a new birth of free dom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. :A y "Uncle" Joseph G. Cannon. Only one of possibilities, but says if veteran congressman will make race they'll drop out. matter. In the meantime Holaday is canvassing the district and effecting an organization among his friends. AID TO BANK FUND Supreme Court Shifts Responsi bility $125,000 Certificates. Holders Kansas State Bank Pa per Must Take Own Risk. The Kansas supreme court today held that $125,000 worth of certifi cates of deposit issued by the Kansas State Bank, of Salina, were not to be charged against the state bank guar anty fund. Under the decision the holdeos of these certificates will share in the assets of the bank but will lose whatever amount they are unable to obtain from these assets. The Fourth National bank at Wich ita owned $50,000 of the certficates the American State Bank at Wichita owned an equal amount; and the Aetna Trust and Savings Bank, of In dianapolis. Ind.. was trustee for $-a. 000 worth of the certificates. The certificates held bv the Fourth Na tional and the Aetna bank were issued to nav for a ranch in New Mexico i which Felix Broeker and H. J. Lef- Bank, had purchased. The financial operation in connec tion with the ranch was -expected by Broeker and Lefferdink to make them a large sum of money personally and put the Kansas State bank into the solvent class. The bank bad been in financial trouble for a Ions time and was then under the supervision of the state 'bank commissioner and alt of the certificates of deposit were is sued with the approval of the bank commicsioner. In the opinion Jus tice Burch. of the supreme court, said that "it appeared that Felix Broeker was attempting to make an altitude record in financial aviation." The certificates of the American State bank were supposed to be issued to pay off the certificates held by the Fourth National bank, but there was a bonus of $5,000 paid on this deal. Not Protected by Law. In its decision the court held that certificates of deposit were, in ef fect, not ordinary negotiable instru ments. It also held that they could not be' protected under the bank guar anty law where it was shown that the bank itself did not receive the actual deposits, or where a bo nus had been paid which tend ed to raise the interest rate above the legal limit. Under the law certificates of deposit bearing more then 4 per cent interest can not be piotected. WTiile all of these certificates carried interest at 4 per cent, there was a bonus given which raised the interest above this limit. It also was shown that additional se curity had been required- for these certificates and this also removed them from the protection of the guar anty law. The court held that the innocent purchasers of certificates were not protected by the guaranty law because the certificates in the hands of inno cent purchasers had no greater stand ing than when they were Issued.

Borah and Irreconcllahles De mand First Attention. ALL. TERMS TO BE STUDIED Naval Cut Pact Sure To Be Rat ified Xow. President Turns His Attention to Merchant 3Iarinc. "Washington, Feb. 11. The four power Pacific treaty unexpectedly provoked a stormy session of the senate foreign relations committee to day when the members began a pre liminary survey of the new interna tional agreements evolved by the armament conference. For nearly two hours, a heated discussion of the various provisions of the Pacific pact raged and the committee 'inally adjourned until Thursday without any agreement be ing reached as to which of the seven conference treaties should be acted on fir3t, but senate "irreco'ncilables" who are members of the committee insisted that the Pacific treaty be tak en up before any of the others. Be No Endue Haste. A preliminary survey of the work of the armement conference and a study of the sever, treaties which are tangible results of its deliberations, were begun today by the senate for eign relations committee. Altho consideration of the treaties begins under propitous circumstances which senators of both parties at tribute largely to the favorable im pression created by the address of President Harding in submitting the pacts, it was indicated today that there would be no undue haste In se curing the senate's ratification of the new international agreements. Consideration of the four-power Pa cific treaty, one of the seven laid be fore the senate yesterady by President Harding as the product of the Wash ington conference, was begun today by the senate foreign relations committee, which after a lengthy discussion of the pact adjourned to meet again Tues day. Must Study Pacts. The desire of the committee mem bers to first familiarize themselves with all the complex details of the different treaties before being called upon to pass final Judgment upon them will probably preclude any im mediate action on them. The statement of Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, one of the "ir reconcilable" members, that he in tended to support the naval treaty and probably would ravor the others, if he found President Harding to be correct in his opinion that they would not in volve the American people in entang ling foreign alliances, was regarded as having eased the senatorial situation in and out of the committee consid erably. Harding Turns to Marine. President Harding having trans mitted to ihe senate the arms confer ence treatirx. now plans to turn his attention towjX'd quick action on re lief legislation ior the mercantile ma rine. Chairman Iisket of the shipping board said at the White House today after a conference with the president. Mr.. Lasker recently submitted to the executive -a report covering an extensive study of the shipping situa tion and since has been in conference frequently with the president. The executive is extremely interest ed in the marine situation, Mr. Las leer said, and expects to submit to congress his recommendations on the situation within two weeks to a Joint session. Mr. Lasker said on leaving the White House that his report in cludes one large Integral plan and he expects shortly to make public such parts of the plan as the president had approved SEVEN FIREARMS TODAY Sparks From Chimneys Was Cause for Most of Calls.

"It indicates that the organized railroad workers and mine workers," said a statement issued by Mr. fcewis, "have a profound appreciation of the necessity for closer co-operation and reflects a determination to utilize every proper means of protecting the interests of the men employed in these basic industries."

HIGHER COURT SLAPS DOUBLE LIABILITY LAW Opinion Today Most Important to Banks' In Years. Stockholders ot Responsible for a 200 Assessment. BURDEN ON GUARANTY FUND. Banking Department Xow Looks to 1923 Legislature. Already $250,000 Has Been Paid for Failed Banks. The supreme court today knocked out the double liability law as applied to bank stockholders. In an opinion by Chief Justice Johnston, concurred in by a majority of the court. It is held that a eonstitu 'adopted in 1906 abrogates the statu- iory provision. Three Justices Burch, Dawson and Mason dissented. The COUrt' H in tho lioKMit,.

Today s decision brings Joy to th bank stockholders. But it brings equal concern to friends of the bank guar anty law. It mean that inability to collect the double liability In cases of failure of so-called guaranteed banks throws an added responsibility and burden on the guaranty fund. The decision grew out of issues involved In the failure of the Kansas State Bank at Salina. Chief Justice Johnston, In his opin ion asserts thafc conditions existed in the State Which hrnnnhf ii out of added responsibilities to cor poration stockholders. He said that at the time the amendment was adopted, investors went to other states In order to evade the liability defined by the Kansas statute. The 1906 amendment, the opinion states, clearly intended to wipe the double liability from bank as well as other stockholders. Justices West, Marshall Porter joined with him in the pre vailing opinion. In order to provide additional pro tection to. bank creditors the court suggests that the legislature might provide that a bank deposit a bond or other security as a guarantee against losses. It is also mentioned that stat utory requirement might be made as to payment of capital stock In setting aside of a portion of the bank earn ings in creating a fund to be used as security. .It might also be required to file a bond of deposit, thus creatine s"';t of compulsory guaranty tund. The remedy, however, must be other than a personal responsibility of individual share owners. Ask a Rehearing. The state banking department will f.Kl f reheartcg at once on the double lability case. J. II. Sandell, assistant bank commissioner, said If a re hearing is denied, Sandell said, Kansas ,bQa,",k7K, ;ln"'htedly will urge .he 123 legislature to submit a constltu t.onal amendment so as to make a double liability law possible. This means there can be no bank it Unt" the leSl!""ive scs- "The state banking department has always considered the double liability law an added safeguard to the public. of .haWdrS affect the solvency of the banks, however, and neither does it present voluntary or Involun tary assessment of stockholders in banks the capital of which may have been impaired. The banking depart ment has In many cases recommended assessments of from 100 to 2U0 per cent and the stockholders have com. plied in order to keep their hanks in operation and on a cound basis. "I am confident the bankers of the state would have been satisfied had the supreme court upheld the double liability statute. The good bankers believe in this law and have never tried to evade it." Pay In 2.-0,0OO. Sardcll estimated that at least J2S0, 000 has been paid by stockholders of faJed banks during the years in which the law has been in operation under the belief that the law was good. Sixteen failed banks with a Com bined capital of $415,000 are now In process of liquidation. Five of these bar.ks with a combined capital of $95, 000 are not under the guaranty law. while twelve with a combined capital of $320,000 are euar&nteed. In uninr:.! i instances, however, including th i People's State bank at Salina with a j capita.' of $100,000, it has already been j determined that no assessment of uiocKnoioers will be necessary. .New Cabinet Member for Mex.

HER HECK IS TOUGH Cannibal Chief Tells of Difficult Fart of Woman. Hard to Eat Because She Uses It So Much. New York. Feb. 11. The back of a woman's nock is the toughest part of the human body, says Frederick O'Brien, author of "White Shadows in the South SeaV writing on ''The Lure of the South Seas" in the February Mentor Magazine. O'Brien obtained this information from a gentlemanly cannibal chief, who was his neighbor in the Marquesas Islands. This Ka huiti as the chief was named is no longer a cannibal, but in his youth he had eaten human flesh. "I learned later that he was an avowed bach elor," says O'Brien, "and it may have been his grim joke, for he told me that a woman's neck became tough because she was always turning it to look around and about!" The author of "White Shadows" returned recently from another trip to the South Seas. He took a camera man with him and many of the pic tures they made are reproduced in The Mentor. Dr. Malcolm Brown, a New Tori; physician and admirer of O'Brien's books, lived with O'Brien at Savaii, Samoa, a part of the island least touched by civilization. Brown was so enamored of Polynesian life that he remained in Savaii. The doctor and the author were honored resi dents of the village, taking part in all the native festivities and cere monies. There are islands in the South Seas where conditions are primitive enough to suit the most ardent devotee of the simple life. O'Brien says. Lack of transportation has saved .these from many of the evils that haVe accom panied civilization elsewhere in Poly nesia. WEATHER. (Oontmuod from Page One.) curred on February 3, 1890.

ARE- NO WAR COMMITMENTS Harding Declares He Has Tried for Party Harmony-; Especially Endeavored to Avoid Entangling Alliances. Washington, Feb. 11. President Harding Friday submitted the sev en principal treaties of the armament conference to the senate, inviting "prompt approval" of them and Assur ing the senators, who listened in rapt attention, that "there .is no entangle ments, alliances, or rnvolvernpnt" which requires the United States to surrender any worth while tradition, These engagements, the president said, were interwoven in a general scheme of peace, and contained noth ing which commits the lnited fctates, or any other power, to any kind of an alliance, entanglement or involve ment. Referring to the unratified treaty of Versailles, Mr. Harding said it was drawn in response to a manifest World hunger for better relationships and that the treaties submitted today were drawn in response to the same desire but without any provision except to promote peace. No AVar Commitments. "The four-power treaty contains no war commitments," said the president. "There is no Commitment to armed torce, no aljiantre. no wri ten or moral obligation to join in defense, no ex 'pressed or implied commitment to ar- 1 rive it any agreement except in ac cordance with our constitutional methods." Reviewing briefly the situation in the far east, the president declared the conference by its far eastern agree ment had "dissipated" all apprehen sion of territorial greed in that quar ter, and that senate ratification of the far eastern treaties "will stabilize a peace for the breaking of which there is not a shadow of reason or real excuse." The five-power naval treaty, he continued, was in accordance with the expressed wishes of congress, as con tained in recent legislation, and would afford "the first actual relief from naval burdens which peoples have been able to acclaim since steanr and steel combined to add to nav&I strength in warfare." "Either these treaties must have your cordial sanction," he said, "or every proclainfed desire to promote peace and prevent war becomes a hol low mockery." Had Bowed to Senate. Alluding to the senate traditional aversion against entangling foreign commitments, Mr. larding declared he had that in rmnd when he ar ranged that both Democrats and Re publicans should be members of American delegation. "The senate concern for freedom from entanglements." he continued, "for preserved traditions, for main tained independence, was never once forgotten by the America delegates. "If I did not believe these treaties brought us not only new guarantees but greater assurances of freedom from conflict, I would not submit them to your consideration. "Much depends upon your decision," he continued. "We have joined in giv ing to theXworld the spectacle of nations gathered about the conference table, amid the convictions of -peace, free from all passion, to face each other in the contracts of reason, to solve menacing problems, and end dis putes and clear up misunderstand ings. If to these, understandings for peace, if to these advanced expressions of the conscience of leading powers, if to these concords to guard against conflict and lift the burden of arma ment, if to all of these the senate will not advise and consent, then it will be futile to try again. "I alluded a moment ago to my knowledge of the viewpoint of the senate from personal experience," he declared. "Since that experience I have-come to know the viewpoint and inescapable responsibilities of the ex ecutive. To the executive comes the closer view of the world relationship and more impressive realization of the menaces, the anxiety and the appre hensions, to be met." Complete Record of Parley. Along with the treaties, the presi dent submitted to the senate the com plete minutes of plenary sessions and. committee meetings of the conference, together with a. opy of the official report made to him by the. American delegation. These documents the president sa:d were "fitting testi monials to that open and simpler diplomacy for which the world' has asked." In that sense he added the whole conference was "quite out of the ordinary." "Indeed," said Mr. Harding, "it was I a conference of friends, proceeding in i deliberation and sympathy, appraising I their frienuly and peaceful relations and resolved to maintain them and to give the world new assurances of peace and actual relief from the bur dens of excessive and competitive armaments. No Unkind Motives. "It is not necessary to remind you that the conference worlt was not di rected against any powerW group of powers. Thjere were no punishments to infiict, io records to bestow. The offerings are, free will; the conscience is that of world opinions; the observ ance is a matter of national honor." Asserting that no provision in any of the treaties required the United States to surrender a "single worth while tradition," the president de clared it did not follow that the com mitments entered into were meaning less. "The actuating desire," he said, "had been to establish among nations an agreement of 'orderly neighborli-ness-

.Hunger For Friendship. "Thepworld has been hungering for a better relationship for centuries, since it has attained its larger con sciousness," said Mr. Harding. "The conception of the league of nations was a response to a manifest world hunger. Whatever its fate, whether it achieves the great thing troped for, or comes to supersedure or to failure, the American unwiUinrness to be a part of it has been expressed. That unwill ingness has been kept in mind, and the treaties submitted today have.no semblance or relationship save as the wish to promote peace has been the common inspiration." The president concluded his address at 4:06 o'clock, and the treaties -which he presented were on motion of Sen ator Lodge, Republican leader, re ferred to the foreign relations com mittee and ordered printed.

EASTERN MEAT CONDITIONS. f'nited States Department of Agriculture, 904 Livestock Exchange. Kansas City, Mo. Telephone: Main 1547. (Western Dressed Fresh Meats.) Boston, New York and Philadelphia. GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS The market on all classes of fresh meats this week was unsettled with buyers op erating only to a limited extent. Higher prices on livestock in the west had little appreciable effect on the dressed market a there was not sufficient outlet to cause any advance in prices. The fresh pork market showed the greatest strength, flue in part to freezer orders. BEEF Fresh receipts of beef were not above normal, but combined with the car ryover from last week, were excessive iir view of the alow trade. Bulk of receipts of steer beef ere medium and good grades with comparatively few choice steers in cluded. Cows have been in better demand than steers, prices ruling, about steady during the greater part of the week. Coin paredr with one week asm, Boston is clos ing steady on both ateers und cows; New York, weak to 50c lower on steers and cows, with Philadelphia weak to 50c lower ou steers and steady on cows. Receipts of J uiiiio uut ii iigui, uuu uac uicu hilu sufficient demand to hold prices fairly steady, except at New York, where the closing was around 50c lower than a week ago. Kosher beef trade has been quiet, prices for the week ruling steady at Phila delphia and around $1.00 lower at New York and Boston. YEAIj Sharp concessions in prices were made at New York in order to move the accumulated supplies of veal, while Boston was generally nnchnuged for the week. Opening prices of $1.00 higher at Phila delphia on Monday were lost by Thursday, but there was a generally fair demand. Frozen sides were sold at Boston at $10 to $12 per hundred pounds. Compared with closinrsbcfuT Steady, with Sew i'ork un- tvenlv $1.50 to S4.00 lower. lamb urfssea Jamb trade has been draggy but prices had a fairly firm under tone, as dealers were nol disposed to sacri fice in iew of the advancing live market. The demand at New York was better than, at the other eastern markets, bette.- grades being best sellers. Compared with one week ago, prices are generally unchanged. MUTTON Early week demand for mut ton Was fairly good, but later trade was slow and prices weakened. There was lit tle or no demand for heavyweight mutton. Compared with a week ago, Boston is about steady, with New York $1.00 lower and Philadelphia $1.00 to $2.00 lower. PORK Receipts of fresh pork were only "moderate for which there was only a fair oemana. ttigner prices on live bogs tended to strengthen the market, but buyers were4 not lnclinea to purchase more than im mediate requirements. In view of lugher replacement cost, dealers held surxdus stocks for the freezer. Compared with last Friday, Philadelphia Is strong to $1.00 higher. New York steady, Bostoq steady on loins and $1.00 higher un picnics. MARKET CLOSING Boston: Closing barely steady on all classes, with a good clean-up. New York Closing weak to lower on" all classes with a moderate- carry over in coolers and on track. Philadelphia Closing steady to firm. Veal, mutton and pork- will be sold out, while some beef aud lambs will be carried over. WEEKLY REVIEW OF CHICAGO MEAT TRADE CONDITIONS. (Week ending Friday. Februarv 10. 1922.) GENERAL, MARKET CONDITIONS The narrowness of the demand for fresh meats reached an acute stage during the week, bef being affected most, with lambs following a close second. While veal and porkfr moved fairly well,"the demand was far from good. While the bears fought hard to lower prices, resistance from sell ers was sufficient to hold prices steady with last week's closing on veal, lamb and mutton, while slight declines were made on steers and some material advances on pork. Storage rails are unusually well filled with beef at the close of this week. n m I on I Merrill B. O. D. E. FJ3RM LETTER WORK office SKHVite s niirrii Merrill Stevens B. O.

Kansas a good percentage of tiie holding being purchased from last week, for which the retailers have been unable to find disposi tion over their blocks on account of lim ited Consumptive demand. BEEF Liberal offerings of ateer beef consisted largely of meiHum and common grades, netting from 11 to $14. Prices within- this range fluctuated considerably during the- week. Iemaud was very slow and buyers were hard to interest.' Lower ing prices offered lUtle Inducement as con sumptive demand had reached such a tow mark as to warn buK-hers to keep their supplies to a minimum. Choice steers were scarce and the few available were generally strong to heavyweights. Prices declined from 50c to $1.00 ou in-between grades, with no change in either the top of v ho ice or the bottom of common grades. The cow supply Included a good percent age of desirable butcher cows with good assortments for the larger chain markets. Prices on all grades of cows show no change from a week ago. Cuts of nil kinds were slow sellers, especially ribs and loins. A boning demand for cow rounds assisted materially in sustaining general prices on cows. The light offerings of bologna bulls met with a similar demand and- prices ore about 25c lower than a week ugo. Prices oa Kosher beef are generally $1.00 lowe than a week ago. Supplies, were moderate and demand only fair. VEAL Demand was fully ample to keep ofTerincs which were sometimes fairly lib eral, moving well. General quality was good, with a small percentage of real com mon calves. Countfr dressed veal of good quality contributed freely to the supplim. Prices are f uly steady with last week's closing. LAMB High prices oji the live lamb market have forced dressed costs to higher levels. Supplies were liberal, but dttmund only fair, with buyers righting hard for lower prices. However, no changes iu prices were noticeable from last week's closing. MUTTON The moderate offerings of mutton met with demand sufficient to hold prices generally 'steady with those of a week ago and $1.00 dvan-e is shown on some in-between kinds. Heavy ewes and bucks cleared fairly well. i POBK With holdings from last week cleaned up and fresh receipts moderate, prices took an upward course during the week and material advances were made. Higher temperatures aud sellers anxiety to clean up well caused weakness In prh-es and demand on Friday, resulting lit slight declines.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY II, 1922 r HE IS HOT SANDS? Officers Are Convinced Under wood Is Notoriety Seeker. Sot Missing Secretary-Valet of "W. I). Taylor, Is Belief. RECRUITINGOFFIGER HERE Failed to Identify Frisoner As Edward F. Stratlimore. Has Been "Caught Up" on Many Toints by Officers. That Walter S. Underwood, held here in the county jail on an embez y.itrntnt charge from Los Angeles, is not F.Jward F. Sands, missing former secretary-valet of William Desmond Taylor, murdered movie director, was th opinion of local authorities today. The officers have been skeptical on ho subject from the first and after a further examinttion of their prisoner Friday night ore more than ever con vinced that Underwood has been pos ing for the purpose of obtaining no toriety. That he enjoys it. however, is quite evident from his action. TtccruitiiiK Officer Here. J. J. Henton, United, States navy re cruiting officer, arrived from Kansas i it- Friday night and after making an "examination of Underwood failed to identity him as Edward Fitz Stratn more. which is believed by Los An seles authorities to be an alias used in the navy by Edward r. bands. .-Hrathmore was four times a deserter from the navy, according to the re cruiting officer. Altho the general de scriptions of Hands. Strathmore and i Underwood tally almost exactly, the Jetailed description of Strathmore brought from Kansas City Friday night by Henton did not fit Underwood t'effficers and newspaper men who subjected the prisoner to .anothtr cross examination Friday night got him badly confused in his story sev eral times. He had maintained that he left Los Angeles the night Taylor was murdered, went to San Bernar dino by stage, arriving there next morning, and immediately boarded Santa Fe train No. 2 for Chicago. He left, th train at no time, he declared, and arrived here the second night. This story he repeated again with out hitch Friday night. But when some one reminded him that the mur der occurred on February 1 and that he did not arrive here until the night of February 8. seven days later, lie found himself trapped. He then ad mitted that he must have left Los An geles about three days after the mur der, instead of the same night. Saw Taylor Few Days Ago. Friday noon he declared that the la t time he saw Taylor was six weeks or two months before the murder. Friday night he changed the time 10 a few-davs before the deed was com mitted. First declaring that he served in the British army, he later changed it to the Canadian forces. He was unable to remember the name of his unit or division and could name only one ship upon which he claimed to have served in the British merchant marine during the war. In short. Underwood has been "caught up on so many points that the officers give little credence even to his declarations that he knows both Sands and Taylor. They believe that, realizing that he will probably go to the pen.tentiary on the embezzlement charge, he is making the most of the situation and having a good time try ing to keep the public speculating as to his identity.

Seven ty-tive years ago today Thomas A. Edi son was born. Today, however, was just another Saturday in his busy life.

Members of this band of workmen had planned for many days the greet ines to be extended to the aged inven tor and had arranged for the annual luncheon in the storage battery build ing of the plant. A wireless -telephone has been In stalled in the hall and arias by Marie Rappold, grand opera star who sang for the gathering, were sent oroaa cast.

USE HOME SCHOOL Supreme Court Hands Down Decision in Oberhelman Case. New Trial Is Denied to Abra ham Wallace. HANGING MEANS SUICIDE Employe Doesn't Lose Rights When Notice Is Sent. Constitutionality of New Court House Law Is Upheld. John F. Oberhelman must send his daughter to school in the home dis trict, where facilities are equal to those of an enjoining school. The supreme court took this view of the case today when it sustained a motion to quash a mandamus proceedings against the board of county commis sioners of Shawnee county. Suit had been rued to compel the county board to pay tuition for Oberhelman's daughter in the Topeka high school wnen sne uvea in a rural mgn scnooi district.. The Oberhelmans are residents of the Silver Lake rural high school dis- tnct The father preferred to send his daughter to the Topeka school. He sought to collect the tuition al lowed under the high school act. The voucher was approved by the county auditor but held up by the commis sioners. The supreme court holds the law does not give discretionary powers to a parent in selecting the school which a child shaJl attend when the home school affords equal facilities. Denied ow Trial. Abraham Wallace cannot have a new trial of a criminal assault case on a showing of newly discovered evidence of impeaching character. The supreme court held such evidence did not warrant granting of a rehear ing of the case. Wallace was convicted in the Shaw nee county district court on a charge of assaulting a 14-year-old girl. The girl told a detailed story of numerous offenses committed by the defendant. Following his conviction, Wallace sought a new triai on the ground of new evidence. The supreme court held that under the rule of law evi dence of. impeaching character did not permit re-opening of the case. He must go to the penitentiary. Hanging 3lust Mean Suicide. When a man is found hanging by a window ord f suspended from a rafter, his feet eighteen inches from the floor, it indicates suicide. In fact the supreme court is so thoroly convinced that it has ordered the Wyandotte county district court to enter judgment for an insurance com pany which carried a policy on the dead man's life. Bessie Deweese filed suit against the sovereign camp of the Woodmen of the World to collect on a life in surance policy held by her husband. He had been found dead, with indica tions of suicide. Regardless of this evidence, the Wyandotte county dis trict court refused to enter a judgment for the defendant company when the case was tried. On appeal to the su preme court, the trial court Is today ordered to accept the evidence of sui cide and order the jury to bring in a verdict holding that the widow can not collect under the policy. Can Recover Damage. An employe does not lose his rights under the compensation law when he sends notice to his employer asking arbitration of his claim. This was the decision of the supreme court in the case of Theodore Duncan, a mnior, against the Kansas City Packing Box company. Duncan was injured in the course of his employment. He sent word to his employer that he wanted to adjust the matter. The employer paid no at tention to his request, in the trial of the case tho it vas urged that Duncan had not followed the proper legal course and should not maintain an ac tion. Both the district court and the supreme court held the boy was with in his rights and approved judgment. In another Wyandotte county case, the state supreme court held that the mere fact that an automobile is pro pelled with gasoline an explosive does not permit awarding compyisa tion under the workmen's compensa tion act. This was the decision in denying the appeal of Sarah Dodson against the Kansas City Refining com pany. Mrs. Dodson's husband met his death in an accident by driving a sales man's truck. Drivers Must Look Out. When the driver of an automobile drives upon a railroad track at a cross ing where his vision is not obstructed j he is guilty of contributory negligence if nit and is not entitled to compensa tion, the supreme court held in deny ing the appeal of Joseph S. Johnson againstthe M.t K. T. railroad, ap pealed from the Miami county district court. Court House Law Valid. The constitutionality of the new million dollar court house law passed by the last legislature was upheld in a test case appealed from Wyandotte county by a decision of the su preme court. The law authorizies the board of county commissioners in counties having a population of 110. 000 or over to issue bonds not exceed ing a million dollars to build or re build a court house without requiring a vote of the people. The case was brought by Ethel M. Harling against the county board of Wyandotte coun ty. The judgment of the Wyandotte j county district court upholding con- siuuiionanty or tne act was affirmed by the state supreme court, in the de cision which was handed down by Justice Silas Porter. Certain objections to provisions of tho act are held by the supreme court to be mere criticisms of the policy and wisdom of the law. The fact that the amount of bonds a Jthorized by the aet in question may cause the indebtedness of the county to exceed 1 per cent of the assessed valuation does not render the act in valid because of the expressed provi sion in the act that none of the re- jstrictions and limitation respecting the amount of county indebtedness contained in any former laws shall ap j ply to or affect the issuance of bonds -u'porized by the act. New Bridge Refused. A drainage board cannot order the building of a new bridge when its con struction will not in any degree lessen the flood hazard which the drainage board seeks to eliminate. The state supreme court reversed the judgment of the Wyandotte county district court which upheld an action in "mandamus brought, by the Kaw valley drainage district asrainst the Wyandotte county board The drainage board directed a new approach and span to be built on unuso i iiie Twelfth street. The county, board j an old bridge at the haw s mouth at signified its willingness to eliminate the flood menace of the old bridge by constructing an entirely new bridge if assured that it had the power to issue county bonds without a vote of the people and on order of the drainage board. Meanwhile the street railway company which claimed an interest in tho bridge brought an action charging the board's order for a new bridge as being confiscatory. The drainage board then obtained a writ of man damus to compel the count., board to erect a new bridge with the provision that nothing be done to distnrb the existing bridge which constituted the flood hazard. The judgment ot tne district court in issuing the writ was reversed. Cannot Set Aside Report. The findings of an arbitrator ap pointed by a court of competent juris diction cannot be set aside by the dis trict court without first showing un fairness or misconduct on the part of the arbitrators. This decision was handed down by the supreme court reversing the judgment of the Wyan dotte county district court in a work men's compensation case brought by John H. Kinzler against the Wyan dotte County Gas company. May Change Road Material. A board of county commissioners, after having ordered improvements of the county road under the 1917 law, may change the material specifica tions in accordance with the subse quent petitions of property owners in the benefit district, if a contract for construction- of the road has not been let. That was the decision of the supreme court today in denying a writ of mandamus against the Allen county commissioners sought by the attorney general. This is the first vtest case of its kind. It is considered important by the state highway commission because in a number of counties property owners desired to change road peti tions in order to use cheaper construc tion materials. The following decision was handed down today by the supreme court: By Johnston, C. J. Johu J. Gormley, et al, plaintiff, vs. Rural V S. District No- u. etc., et al.. de fendants".

(ood qualities of nulling wheat are selling from 15c to 20c above the Kan sas City Miy option. The dry and windy weather has made a great many of the wheat growers and millera feel that Kan sas can at the best only raise a small crop. The mills report only a fair de mand for flour. Corn has advanced about 5c per bushel in the last ten days, but It has not brought any better movement from the farina. It sms the country Is holding for about 5V.

The rest of the cast is the Fame as the original show "with the addition of three lady -Ftarn. There is no chorus, everyone Sin the east iJays a lead. Taking the part of Private C. C.

You don't -ired your gas mask for this show, but you do need your old tin hat for it's a barrage of laughs and thny bust in the air and full all around you. ilehn Chart wirk and Richard Dix, the illustrious team of "Dangerous Curve Ahead" will appear is "The Curve Ahead" will appear in "The vrelc at the Orpheum. Itichard Dix gets jammed up in an effort to wreck a Ftret car with hfs auto and finds himself in the hospital with but a few hour to live. Not wanting to leave his money to his grasping relatives he pursuades his nurse, Helen Chadwick, lo many him and fall heir to his state. Sh consents He gets well and from that you can Judge what a whang tf a story you will see. Thil pair is unbeatable Viola Dana, the most captivating little star on the screen today, will r be seen in "The Match Breaker" the ihsl half of tht? week. Its one of -il"):e pleasing littlestories that runs along as smoothly as a brook in a meadow sparkling and glistening. gurgling now and then over pebbles of eoinedy, and now and then taking-a i roaring tumble over a precipice o hilarious farce. You wll! be pleased to the utmost. At the Novelty. For the first half of the week one of the really biggest bills of vaudeville that has been seen here in some time will be on tap. In addition to the two-reel film'coniedy with which the program will open there are five acts of that class of "variety" one seldom sees "out-this way". Featuring this feature bill will be ,Marye Delight and her four boys, whose offering will be a complete minstrelsy first part, filled with sing ing, comedy and dancing numbers, done both "straight" and in blackface. Marye herself is a charming expositor of intricate steps and has a voice that is worth one's while for more than one hearing. The bill will open after the screen comedy with Ford ffnd Packard, who have capitalized their names by an- nexing unto themselves tho "front" names of Henry and Lizzie. One can easily guess the rest of the description of the act. Chamberlain and Earl follow with somo bright bits of vaude ville. After the feature act on Third pnot will come Wills and Kobbina pre senting the comedy skit "His Day Out." It is lined witn laugns irom start to finish. The closing act of the 1 ill will be-that by the Alex Melford Trio, acrobatic comedians who have entitled their bit "Clownosities at the Carnival." For the second half of the week two big features will be on schedule. The first of these. The Three Victors, is a burlesque on the early rrietory of vaudeville acts And has to do with the rehearsal 1 of an acrobatic perfor- mance. Ben Nee One, the great orien tat piinstrel comes here off "big time." Tho eighth chapter of the serial "The Secret Four" will start the program. 7 At the Isis. Due to the crowds that have throng ed to the Isis in an endeavor to see Mary Vickford in "Little Lord Faunt leroy," this picture will be held over for a few days run next week. The management is satisfied that the pub lic of Topeka has appreciated this pic ture for its real value. Many pictures have been made, and many pictures have been shown at the Isis, but for richness and beauty and u loving sweet story, "Little Lord Fauntleroy" takes first place without a contender in the fted. The dual role played by Mary Pick ford is one of the greatest if not the greatest that has ever been seen Mi any screen. The photography ranks in the marvelous class and the acting is even greater. Many requests have been reecived to hold "Little Lord Fauntleroy" over for next week. t and as a result it will be he!d for a few daysT just how long depends upon Topeka. At tho Crystal. "Get Your Man," a story of the northwest mqunted police with scenes laid in Alaska is to be shown the first half of the week. Chas. iBuck) Jones, who is running Tom Mix a wonderful race as a stunt ar- tist, is the star in this story. The I story never drags, and is filled with action from beginning to end, it is said. A thrilling tale of the mining coun- try, filled with real action and intense -hainHtit: moments, is to be shown the latter half of the week. William Dun rcari, who has won countless admirers because of his fighting spirit and real ism appears at his best in this story which is known as "Steelheart." This is an-unusual story, exceptionally well presented, it is declared. Among the intense dramatic scenes and thrills are a fight in the dark, a combat be tween Duncan and an enraged bear, a fight on a cliff in which both con testants are carried over the edy:e and fall in the rapids below, and an explosion in the mountain in which the hero and heroine are imperiled. At the Grand. It is not often that motion picture fans are given the opportunity to see the latest and most stylish costumes presented by one of the most attractive artists of the screen in a story vibrant with romance and adventure, but that is what Mae Murray's latest picture, "Peacock Alley," is. It will be shown all next week at the Grand theater. In this Metro release for Tiffany Productions, In., presented by Robert 2. Leonard, Miss Murray portrays the part of a Parisian dancer, who, as the darling of the famous city of pleasure, is feted and adored for her daring and artistic creations. She falls in love with a youthful American, a small town boy, and goes back to his home only to find that the people of the little village are Scandalized at his French wife. The rude awakening among the bright lights of Broadway gives this story a turn which makes it one of the most dramatic offerings of the screen. "Peacock Alley" is typically a Mae Murray picture. Its" gorgeous settings and the costly costumes of the star are outstanding features in an offering which at its special showing in New York won the unstinted-praise of the A MAE MURRAY in "Peacock Alley" critics as being the most beautiful ami gorgeous production of the screen. The cast supporting Miss Murray is a most notable one and includes Monte Blue in the leading male role, Ed mund Lowe. W. J. Ferguson, Anders Randolf. William Tooker. Howard Lang, William Frederick, M. Durant and Jeffrys Lewis. "Peacock Alley" is by Edmund Goulding, based on a story by Ouida Bergerc. It was di rected by Robert Z.

Eastern Slump in Attendance Hits Actors and Managers. There is no buyers' strike in To peka wlien it comes to theater ticketB. lr.E-tead, Topekans seem to have gone "Road Show Crazy." In the past six v ecks or since the first of January every road show appearing in Topeka has been greeted by a packed house. That is the statement made by Man ager II. V.. Ulrich, manager of the Grand thtatir in commenting upon .he statement 'from the east recently to the effect that thousands of actors :ire now walking the streets lookins tor just am kind of jobs. "Seven packed houses in a row is mighty good." said Mr. Ulrich, "but it does not look anywhere so good on the box office books as it does in at tendance figures It may bo a sui prise to tho theater goer to know that because of the high cost of trans portation and the continued high scale? of all sorts ot theater help, road shows are forced to demand such a. large percentage of the receipts, that it takes a :uU house to give the local theater manner any profit at ill. "The rout show houses of the coun try are only booking the very cream of attractions but that is because 'skim milk' attractions in the face of only medium patronage were forced to cie. In fact there is nothing bur cr'am in the theater cup right row and ii order to keep their places open the leciiimate theaters nf the coun try have been obliged to turn to the higher grade of pictures.- Vaudeville is barely holding its own, but a slight betterment in business in this depart ment of the showman's game is al ready showing itself. "Producing managers are showing an increased belief in the coming of better times for next season. Re ports from the big producing centers indicate that many more attractions are being planned for next fall and in deed there are several big attractions that are already booking dates for the revival of theatrical business." M9VIE SQUIBS j-1 V I qieanei GRAINGER'S MOTHER HIS TUTOR Concert Pianist Here Thursday Called Greatest Interpreter of Grieg's Music Prrcy A Id ridge Grainger, who ap pears here Thursday evening, Feb ruary 16, as the fourth attraction on the Topeka Concert Series, was born in Brighton, Melbourne, Australia. July 8, 1882. He received nearly all of his instruction from his mother, a fine musician. At the age of ten he appeared in public as a pianist. Later he went to Frankfort, Germany, where he studied lor a short time with Kwast, and .lso had a few lessons ivith Busoni. He then toured Great Britain. New Zealand, Australia and South Africa, meeting everywhere with most enthu siastic receptions. Returning to Lon don in 190G, he met Grieg, who was so impressed with the young artist's play ing that he invited him to his villa, Troldhaugen. Here they worked to gether during the entire r lmer, Grainger is generally looked upon as the greatest interpreter of Grieg's music. His adoration of Grieg ante dated many years his first meeting with the famous Norwegian composer; in fact, his earliest childhood's musical memories include the playing of Grieg's pianoforte composition by his mother, who was also an ardent Grieg enthusiast. The program which Mr. Grainger will play here next Thursday evening will contain one group of Grieg's com positions. They are all well known pieces, so it will indeed be a joy to hear them interpreted by one of the leading masters.- NELLIE AND SARA KOUNS EAGER TO REACH TOPEKA :4illlilllil f fnnm- .il.r..,1WiW ".mSS I Nellie and Sara Kouns.

"Use of -pictures in combination with verbal in struction increases pupils' ability to learn by 5 to 25 per cent. Prof. J. J. Weber of the University of Kansas said today in an address at the Col lege of the City of New -York. The address was made at the invtation of Krnest L. Crandall, director of visual instruction in the New York city schools, and was the first an nouncement by Professor Weber of results of experiments with twelve hundred seventh grade pupils in New York, "The picture provides a vicarious experience, which the child must have before he understands," said Prof. Weber. "Lessons were presented with and also without the aid of drawings, lantern slides and motion pictures. For the purpose of comparing results, classes were divided and similar les sons were given each, and picture aid. Was used once with each class, versing the conditions for each group. Intelligence tests were given to se equate the different groups and enough tests were given to insure sta tistical reliability." "Photography has made it possible for us to go with Alice thru Won derland: it has made the exposition of the gas engine so compelling that only an imbecile can fail to under stand it, can transport Egypt with its sacred river and gripping history to the American school boy.

V Hollywood, Cal., Feb. 11. The story has oft been told thru history, of kings who walked an humble path among- their people on occasion, dis guised so as to learn the weal and woe of the nations over which they ruled. Recently, in Hollywool,-a "king" did likewise, and met in the odd course of his travels another "king," neither knowing each until much lata?, but the first "king" imparting a never-to-be-forgotten lesson to the other. Jock Hutchison, iViaster male of the genus "golluf," andhigh chieftain of his tribe, recently wanderedT with his "sticks," in deep incognito, o'er the bonnie heaths of Griffith park, land of the "birdie of passage, and of sand pits the like of which did" not' exist in Dante's fond Inferno. It chanced that Charlie Rary, king of the silver curtain that is not "night," was also, on this time and occasion, absent from his "throne" a-golfing. Approached, then, "Jock," with "Jim," in an "automobeel," and stopped to watch Charles Ray tee-up and bat his ball. What Was the Game? "What kind of a game is that, mon, you .are playin' said "king" one. "Golluf," replied "king" two. "And what is the object, mon? To hit that little ball there?" "You said it," from "king'two. "An, how for can you hit it, now?" requested "Jock." "Oh, perhaps 75 or 80 yards down the fairway," answered Ray. "I'll tell you what I'll do now. Mon," continued "king" one. "I'll bet you I can hit it further than you can." "Gwan!" from "king" two. "I mean it, sure." "I'll bet you 5 cents you can't." "Oh come now, Mon, make it worth while." "All right, five dollars then. And I'll tee it up for you too," came front "king" two. Jock alighted and walked to where Charlie had teed up the baH. "Show me how to hold the ojub now," in sisted Jock.' '-This way," and Ray showed him. "All right, out of my way," com manded "king" .one and took a cham pion's swing. Three hundred yards farthr on the little white pill stopped.

THE TOPEKA DAILY-STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1922 TELLS OF PRICES Secretary Mercer Urges Stabi lization of Farm Products. Was Delegate to Recent Confer ence in Washington. FARMER IS IN DEBT, HE SAYS Must Have Reduction In Fixed Marketing Charges, I'lsuer Severe Handicap in Con duct of Business Stabilization of prices for farm pro ducts by congress is advocated by J. IT. Mercer, secretary of the Kansas T-ivestock association. Mercer was a delegate to the recent agricultural conference at "Washington. "Heretofore, in periods of low prices lor products of the farm, the farmer and stockman has been able to obtain a measure of relief thru a reduction in his expenditures," said Secretary Mercer. "At this time he cannot do that. The price of the necessities he has to buy has not decreased in line with his products and te has no power to bring about th's reduction. Fanner Is Id Debt. "In th second place, the farmer t is in debt as he never has been in debt before. He borrowed to buy land or herds on a basis of high prices for his products and to require him to pay these debts on the basis of pres ent prices means ruin. "In the third place, with the low prices beinsr paid for all farm pro ducts at tli market centers, every iixed charge entering into the market ing thereof is still at peak. Freight charges, commission charges, yard m charges on livestock or terminal charges on grain or hay. and so forth. r nearly double the, pre-war rate. With suih a condition prevailing, prices of products on the farm are re duced until the more bulky kind are a liability rather than an asset. Prices Muxt Increase. "Since the farmer's expenditures cannot be reduced, there are only two v. ays that rr-lief can come. "We must have- a reduction in fixed marketing charges 10 a reasonable basis so that commerce can move freely. Then we must have an increase in the price of form products the government sta bilizing the prices nf farm products for a perrv-d extending up to about -May, li23." The present. Secretary Mercer be lieves, is a period of extreme emer pciicy whirh can only be relieved by idiowing this policy of governmental price-fixiiifr for a limited time. "There is another factor that Is handicapping every farmer in the con duct of his business," Mercer con tinued. "That is the scarcity of mon-r-y at reasonable interest rates for livestock or real estate loans. The inviting interest rate and. non-taxable feature of government securities lias absorbed a vast amount of cap iial which would ordinarily be bor rowed by farmers. Two courses are pn thru which relief in this direc tion may be obtained for the farmer. I'rst. the government could malt all loans back to the farmer at the same rate of interest that it pays on its bonds or, second, a plan could be de vised whereby these bonds could be retired and taxable bonds issued in Their stead or possibly currency for part of the isue. "One of these courses must be pur sued before the farmer can go on and safely operate his business with any hope of profit even with reasonably stable prices for his products." SWEDES ARE DRINWlESS Consumption of Liquor Reduced 50 iVr C ut Since 1914 Says Kepoit. Stockholm. Ffb. 11. The consump tion of intixinating liquors in Sweden has been reduced nearly 50 per cent since the beginning of 1914 ''when jwrdpti's liquor rationing system went A,u effect. This is shown by the latest official reports, which state that the reduction took place without absolutely excluding any on,e from the use of alcoholic, stimulants except those who abused the law by drinking to excess. Under the Swedish rationing sys tem individuals are given cards upon which they can obtain a given amount of distilled liquor or wines. The max imum amount allowed to any individ ual is about seven and one-half points per month and this is allowed to mar ried men. Married women receive r.o allowance except from their hus bands' cards, while unmarried women receive as low as one and one-half points per month. On special occa Mons such as weddincs or festivities t hese allowances are increased if re quested. FLIES TO DODGE HONOR Milton Tabor Resents With Drm fiCrqtlon Any Remarks Concern ing Speed of ll'.s Roadster. Pride fjoeth with a motor car. Milton Tabor, secretary of the To peka Merchants' association pur chased, recently, a Dodge roadster. He uses it in the inspection of bill boards thruout the Topeka trade ter ritory. Altho he has owned it only two weeks he has traveled more than 1.300 miles and when alone far out on a counts road, no one in sight, lie "steps on er" just to pass the time away. At the Press club table in the Chamber of Commerce the other day ht was boasting of his Dodge's speed, pickup and general adaptability. "I have owned a Dodge roadster for a long time and you can't tell me about the speed," Mrs. Anita Brown, a faithful woman member of the C. of C. commented. "I have stomped on my accelerator and it never has given me more than 33 miles an hour." This was too much for the prfiud and haughty Tabor. Jumping from his half consumed pie he threw down his napkin, took Mrs. Brown by the arm and started her toward the dining room door. Show me that car!" he exclaimed. Come with me. If I don't blow you r, 50-mile gait it is because you haven't iny gas."' Out of the dining room the pair of Dodge owners flew Tabor to up hold his self-inflicted reputation and Mrs. Brown to become awakened to new possibilities. 7 High School Happenings Contributed Weekly in The State Journal by the Journalism Students of T.

The photographer is kept busy taking the individual pic tures, all of which must be taken by Wednesday, February 15. A schedule is prepared for the group pictures. The members of the staff are co-operating" for a first class annual this year. The second meeting of the term of the debate club was held on Wed nesday.

The Kansas City, Kansas, and To peka high schools will meet in a basketball game. Saturday evening, February 11, at the high school gym nasium. Topeka defeated the Kansas City team earlier in the season by the score of 19 to 9, but expects ahard game this time. The Topeka team is at present lead ing the Northeast Kansas- Basketball league with six victories and no de feats. The defeat at. Manhattan last week does not count against the team's record as Manhattan is not in the league. Chances for winning the championship look bright, as Hortnn in second place has but three vic tories and no defeats. Topeka will play at Horton on Feb ruary 1". and Horton will return the game February 23. These games will be hard fought as they will practically decide the championship. The teachers have been asked to send in a report of the number of etudents in their faculty advisory group in order that the office may determine how many new students may be assigned to them when the time comes for the new students io I I select their own advisers. 1 At the sophomore class held Mon- i day, February 6, to dominate officers, the following were nominated: Presi dent, Mitchell Foster, Balfoor Jeffries; vice president, Mary Stitt.

Thfl Com- mittee includes Thelma Wood, Joe Robb and Orlin Kenyon. v ork of drawing up the laws was started Wed nesday. It was suggested at the meet ing Monday that the, club be called Gamma Phi Kappa; the class favors the adoprton of the name. A new temperature regulation sys tem is being installed in the Topeka high school to take the place of the old system which has been in use for IS years. A new and more efficient system, has long been needed. The new system is an improved model of the same make as the one which has been in use. Both were made by the Johnson Temperature Regulation Sys tem company of Milwaukee.- The cabinet of the Teka high school Y. W. C. A. held a meeting Tuesday afternoon, February, 1 after the regular Y. W. meeting. Dorothy Rosebrough, president. Mrs. Sherwood Eddy, noted Y. W. worker who is visiting Topeka. ad dressed the girls. She told of the work that the Y. W. C. A. Is doing in other countries, particularly in Russia, Finland and Ausyia. She said that the work being done, such as estab lishing cafeterias and clubs for girls, is exceedingly fine. x After the address the cabinet sc- J lected the girls who are to go to the conierence next summer, it was ae cided that each girl should pay her own registration fee.

Bones and their relation and place in. the skeleton are under discussion in Dr. Greider"s and Miss McElroy's physiology classes this week. The school possesses just one skele ton. This makes it necessary for the skeleton'to be transported from the one room to the other as each teach er needs it. The first edition of the World for this term was delayed Wednesday morning. It was distributed to the faculty advisers during the fifth hour. A new method of checking the roll has been introduced into the study hall by Miss Bessie Boughton. The attendance was so irregular that It caused much confusion on the roll book. Names had to be crossed off I when a student either changed periods I or dropped it; and when new students came in there was no room for them on the book roil. By the new meth- -a4r-cards will Je used on which the name of the student, the hour, row and seat will be placed. If the stu dent changes his period the card may be changed accordingly. a If the stu dent Is dropped, the card "may be dis posed of and the records will remain straight.

The club will present two sketches on February 24, entitled "Jimmy," and "A Trick of the Trade." Tenors are needed hy the boys glee club. Only five or six are attend ing the practice regularly. After the basketball season the attendance is expected to increase, as several mem bers of the club are now playing bas ketball. At two tryouts which have been held recently the candidates have been basses. All the basses needed are al ready members of the club but more will be needed in the fall. At the last practice there were eleven basses and i seven tenors present. The committee of teachers which was appointed to make out an English graaing scale nas nnisnea the scale, after a great deal of hard work, and now the scales are displayed in rooms all over the city.

Miss Wolfe, chairman; Miss Julia E. Davis, secretary: Miss Minnie Jones. Miss Ethel E. Friell. Miss Anna KeJ ley. Miss Ruth Roby, Miss Bertha Hyde and Miss Emma Partridge. The chart makes the requirements for each class the same all over the city. Princess Watahwaso, who for sev eral years has been singing Indian songs to American audiences, will sins here at the high school auditorium February 14. Princess Watahwaso is a fullblooded Indian of the Penob scot tribe. Her New York audiences pay as high as 2.75 to hear these songs, but the children of the grade schools will hear her in the afternoon of February 14, at a charge of fifteen cents. She will sirig in the morning to high school students, and an offer ing will be .taken. Princess Watah waso has declared that she will not take any reimbursement, so all the money taken in will go toward send ing the T. H. S. musical organizations to Emporia, where they hope to carry off first honors, as -they did last year. The Faculty Book club was enter tained at the home of Miss Abigail McElroy by Miss Ella P. True and Miss McElroy. It was the third meet ing of the club. The meetings offer the opportunity for discussion of the books among the members. The club was organized in the fall of 1920. It is unique in that it has no officers nor constitution. Miss Carmie Wolfe acts as chairman of the meet ings. Some of the books that the mem bers read are "His Family," "Blind." "The Brimming Cup," "Alice Adams." "The Mirror of the Sea," "Tales from Roll Top Desk,,;s-"The Education of Erie Lane," "Crowding Memories." "The Alps," "The Seventh Angel," "Queen Victoria," "Hail Columbia," "A Poor Wise Man," "Margot As quith," "Fortitude." "Mirrors of Downing Street," "The Americaniza tion of Edward Bok," "Eminent Victorians." "Hunger," "Dust," Ga lusha." "Orphan Dinah," "Edge of the Jungle." "Labrador Doctor," "Growth of the Soil," and "The Square Deal." At the beginning of the year, the club members had the choice of ten books from the fifty which the club had purchased. They will be per mitted to keep one book .permanently at the end of the year. A larger crowd than usual attended the Y. W. Cf A. meeting Tuesday af ternoon in the high school auditorium. The Rev.-John Wells Rahill talked to the girls on "The Spiritual Life." He said he was much pleased to 4 asked to talk on this subject and Was glad that the girls were .interested 'n hearings a preacher discuss it. He quoted "Ruskin's Sesame and' Lilies" and from the Gospel of St. John. He brought out the fact that the spiritual life is not the life of pleasure, luxury, drudgery or work: it is the normal life. It can be obtained by communion and obedience to God. Ruth Naylor furnished special mu s:c. Mildred Adams made an an nouncement about the membership campaign. Miss Sallie Glass invited all the girls to stay and hear Mrs. Sherwood Eddy talk to the cabinet. The meeting closed with a song and the benediction. The printing department of the To peka high school is inadequately equipped to meet the demand for printing this semester. Many more pupils have enrolled this year than heretofore. The equipment of the de partment is as follows: two power presses, two foot presses, six type cases and the other equipment which is absolutely necessary to even the smallest shop. According to Mr, C. A. Hays, print ing instructor, the department is short of the necessary equipment, for he cannot accommodate more than twelve students at one time, comfort ably. This week-end Mft Hays has gone out of the city to inspect a printing press, which if bought will be used to print the high school paper, the T. H. S. World. The teachers of the school have been requested to lock their rooms during lunch period and when they leave for the day. At the beginning or tne year each teacher was given a key. but few have made a practice of locking their room. Latin VIII classes taught by Miss Laura Ewing are .making notebooks. Any reference to the "Aerwid" found in modern novels, magazines, or vad vertlsements are to. be put into the notebooks. A committee will be ap pointed from outside the class to Judge them, and the person having the best notebook will receive a picture from Miss Ewing. A new set of .rules governing the use of the library and its contents has been prepared by Miss Bessie Bough ton and O. K.'d by R. R. Cook. These rules were given to a representative of each English class at a thirty-minute lecture, Thursday afternoon. They are not yet ready to be made public but will be given just as soon as pos sible. The two Journalism classes have subscribed for the Kansas City Star, the Portland Qregonian. the New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor. These papers are used by the classes for clippings to be used !n cliDDinr notebooks and for the dtmli- of newspapers. No regular text book is usea in xne Class. BIG MODERN" ANTIQUE TRADE. Germany Maklnjr and Passing Off "Objects of Art" to Unwary. Berlin. Feb. 11. Modern "antiques" are being purchased wholesale in Ger many for sale to unwary foreigners and newly rich Teutons who have been prompted to seek objects of real art by the news that a number of princely families have be4n compelled to market family heirlooms and rare treasures, according to investigation of some clever buyers. The business of dealing in imita tions has been so profitable that hun dreds of new "antique" stores have been opened, and representatives with choice lists of things "old families" have to part with are encountered at every turn. CROOK WARNED BY FRIENDS.1 "Dapper Dan" Collins Cannot be Located In Miaml Florida. Miami, Fla.. Feb. 11. "Dapper Ban" Collins wanted in New York in connection with the murder of John R. Reid, wealthy manufacturer, and in Loe Angeles by authorities lnvesti gaCnc the killing of William Des mond Taylor, came to Miami this week, "but fled before authorities could arreest him, according to the Miami Herald. The newspaper says that former as sociates of Collins have been located in Miami and that they believe Collins was scared off. Jnfi THEN BBy(arlpJ3ma L? About 200 persons attended the re ception at Boswell hall, Washburn college, given by the Topeka Art Guild and the Fine Arts department of Washburn college, to the Washburn faculty and members of the Wash burn art classes and friends of the To peka Art Guild members. Prof. Pierre Zampierre,. of Wash burn college, who lived in Rome for several years and who had a close hand knowledge of Pope Benedict XV, gave a most interesting and instruc tive talk on. the latter as an artist and a patron of the fine arts. He in formed the audience that Benedict XV had painted several pictures of high artistic merit, and that during ;f .ABian.A n V. 1 ti-i I, tl.Ufe .J t V- 1 (..io -1 the thousands of art treasures there in were revamped, restored, and placed in positions where they could be readily seen and appreciated by the thousands of prlgrims and visitors to that great group of palaces form ing the home of the popes. Mrs. Charles F. Spencer also gave, by request, an interesting account of a great exhibition of the works of Spanish painters, both medieval and modern, which it was her privilege to see last spring or summer, while she was living in London. The exhibition was held at Burling ton House on Picadilly, at which place the exhibitions of the Royal Academy are held. She spoke of the numerous excellent examples of Velasquez and Murillo displayed in this exhibition. Mrs. Spencer said further, that it is her opinion, that after making a thoro study of the work being turned out by the artists of England continental Europe, and then comparing it with the work being done at present in America, America has artists with talent second to none in the world. Concerning the exhibition of paint ings now being shown at Boswell hall, Washburn college, Richard F. Bach, extension secretary, American Feder ation of Arts has to say: This collection includes an Arthur B. Davles, a Bellows, a Hawthorne, a Du Mond, a Carlson, a Betts, among others, and should contain scope for the exercises of the most varied ta3tes and allow a fair view of the output of some of the prominent contem porary American painters. While there are, fortunate-, no dis tinct schools in America, uor is it possible to pigeon hole any of these painters, one could note the many forms of expression included here. There are the painters who excel in the depiction of a realism of appear ance, such as Bellows and Henri, among the figure painters, and among the landscape painters are Carlson's vigorous nbtes on the outdoors and Jonas Lie's strong reports; also Kroll and Ben Foster. Then those who con trol another kind of realism of ap pearances, those who press it into a decorative arrangement giving an other pattern of truths, are repre sented by Hassam, Eaton and Frieseke. Then there are those who seek Xo pro duce forms purely creative, such as Arthur B. Davies, Frank Vincent Du mond and Ernest Lawson. It is evi dent indeed that those who selected this collection expressed a wide and all-inclusive choice as to viewpoint and technique. This exhibition is one of fifty-eight circulated from coast to coast by the American Federation of 'Arts in its na tional work in favor of American art appreciation. These exhibitions cover a long list of subjects from oil paint ings and landscape gardening to tap estry, brocades and wall paper. The Christian Science Monitor for January, 1922 gives an extract from an article entitled "Abbott H. Thayer," by H. B. M., which tells of a method of working pursued by this great American artist who recently passed away, which is so interesting and novel that it is rquoted here. "It may perhaps not be amiss to speak here of the rather unusual method of working which Mr. Thayer has of late years followed. It is a method which seems soundly logical as a means of avoiding the painter's great danger that of losing the vir tues already secured in an attempt to carry them further; as often the harder he tries to get back to the point at wHich he had secured some merit in his picture, the farther "wrong he goes. "Mr. Thayer will begin a picture, and as soon as he feels it has become a valuable thing he will get an as sistant to make him a copy of it. On this he goes forward again, lighted by the measureless comfort of the original's safety, while it directs his handling of the replica, which under his hand soon outstrips the first. He will then take up the first picture, oc begin a third. The hindermost, so to speak, of the three learns from the superiorities of the others which of these virtues to appropriate, and thereby become the best of all. Thus he works with the assurance that he cannot lose anything already secured. It may be that the second picture will be the one which in the end he will feel is the best, or it may be the third, or the first. "It is interesting, in view of the many pictures which M) Thayer has painted of winged figures, to know of the deep love he has had for the sea gulls. His intense interest in pre serving these birds and the help which he gave toward this end are worthy of note. He made repeated pleas that some effort be made to prevent their being exterminated by egg and plum age hunters along our Atlantic coast, and by his eloquent appeals helped to raise funds to finance the work of saving the gulls and other birds whose existence was endangered." A collection of fifty etchings, the work of Joseph Pennell, the world's greatest modern etcher, is on exhibi tion at the Kansas State Normal School, Emporia, at the present time. This exhibition will continue until the 26th of this month. One" hundred and thirty mounted photographs, the work of the leading pictorial photographers of the United States are also being exhibited at the State Normal. These photographs were assembled by the "Pictorial Photographers of America," and show the extent to which photography has been developed as a fine art during the last few years. Frederick Gowen, a native of Mar ion. Kansas, is the designer of the Colvin Memorial shortly to be erected In New York city. Part of the design of this memorial is 48 sculptured female figures each representing one of the states of the L'nion. In order to obtain perfect models for this sculpture, a prize con test has been inaugurated by Mr. Gowan. The competition is opep io women and girls between the ages of 15 and SO years, thruout the United States. The contest has been divided into two groups, Class A and Class B. Those selected for Class A are to pose in the nude and those for vlass B are to pose -draped. A contestant may select the class to which she will aspire. Successful contestants in Class A are to receive each a prize of 2,000. Those of Class B $1,000; each. Photographs and full descriptions of all contestants are required, also a knowledge of the contestant's char acter and ideals. Said Mr. Gowen, "The beauty for which I am seeking expression in my work, is not superficial beauty alone, but the beauty of the intellectual face and of the noble and idealistc person ality in which is expressed in the liv ing form, the spirits of American idealism." Up to the present time but one mnilol Ytnm Twen selected. She is Miss Rae Lucile Morton, of Doniphan coun- ty, Kansas. 'Miss Morton was chosen for the statue of Wisconsin to be executed by the sculptor Burrton of Chicago. The National Gallery of Canada has lately acquired a number of notable and valuable paintings and other works of art. Among the paintings acquired is ".Portrait of a Man" by Tintoretto. This picture is the sim ple portrait of a bearded man at tired in a black gown edged with fur, but it is said to be a thing of beauty which one can gaze upon again and again and always find fresh qualities to enjoy. Altho it was painted while Elizabeth was queen of England, it is as modern in spirit and execution as tho painted within the last two or three months, also the pigment is still as fresh and brill:a-t as a modern work. The big broad brush handling of the robe and the dragging of the light across the contours of the face and the way the gray hair is made to stand out from the man's forehead, all make it hard to realize that the master who painted the picture as well as prpon who sat for it has been dead for more than three hundred years. Another picture obtained by the Canadian National Gallery is Rem brandt's "Christ Presented to the People." Among the new prints ac quired is Durer's "Knight, Death and the Devil." LESS POLITICS IN BUSINESS. But More Business in Politics Is Pica of Chicago" Bankcrr. Cleveland. O., Feb. 11. More busi ness in politics and less politics in business is what the world needs to day, H. G. P. Deans, vice president of the Merchants' Loan Trust com pany of Chicago, said today in address ig the first annual convention of the Bankers' Association for Foreign Trade. Reluctance on the part of the United States to attend any interna tional conference that has for its aim a full discussion of trade difficulties would seem, Mr. Deans said, to involve "a confession of incapacity on our part, or a failure properly to grasp conditions." Better conditions will not come to this country, the bankers were told, "until European demand for our products improves." If as great an improvement is made within the next three years as has been made in the pt;t three years, Mr. Deans said, "we have good reason for believing that better days are on the way."

6 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1922 I'i ASHBURtl III II. Y. Clul) Is Largest in Any City Outside Topeka. DEATH ok TEDDY Eighth Annual Luncheon "Was Held Founders' Day. EO AFTER PIPER SPEAXIN3 Former Ichabods Carried Out Chop House Custm. Homer A. Dunn, Fresident, Tells of Early Days. rrew Tork, Feb. 11. The eighth annual luncheon of the New York "Washburn club this week was a glow ing success despite torrents of rain and an influenza, epidemic. Twenty three former Washburn students two of them dating back forty years In the school'i! history attended the celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the college. The luncheon was held at Keen's Chop House, a quaint old Knglish din ing room that has been the scene of many famous gatherings for a century. Xnlike most such affairs, there was no after dinner speaking. Homer A. Dunn, president, talked informally after the "business of eating"' about early days in Kansas, his watching the building of the Santa Fe railroad, the story of how Valley Falls got its name, reminiscences of Buffalo Bill, and Washburn in the late seventies, when old Rice Hall was the only building on the campus. Mr. Ounn is a. member of the firm of Haskins Sells, public accountants. Among the most interesting of Mr. Dunn's recollections was that Valley Falls was first known as Sawtrell Fails. This name, given before To peka was born, was soon abridged to "Sowtail Falls." Unable to stand such an indignity, the inhabitants changed the town's name to Grasshopper Falls. Two years later came the great scourge, and the name was converted to Valley Falls because everybody wanted to forget about the grasshop pers as soon as possible. Members of Club. The New York Washburn club has nearly ninety members, the largest body of former Washburnites in any ity outside Topeka. Here are the members, wilh their names, addresses and even telephone numbers (added for the special convenience of To. pekans planning to come east) iHK.S, Mrs. Josephine Hell. 17 West Eighth St.. ,Htu.vvenant 717.

MUST PAY IN ADVANCE State and Cement Companies Will Put Up $500 With Court, Both the state and cement com panies will pay $500 into the supreme court to be used as expenses of the commissioner now taking testimony in the ouster suit. An order compelling payment of the expense fund has been issued by the supreme court. The attorney general or some other individual must make payment for the state. After a receipt is secured from the supreme court clerk, a voucher can then be issued by the state auditor. The cement ouster suits have been pending nearly three years. Z. T.

In a letter to the sporting editor of The State Journal, Leonard E. Top, principal of Jennings high school, re futes the claims of Goodland high school for the basketball champion ship of northeast Kansas. "The beat ing of such a team as Jennings does not mean that they are more than contenders," says Top. Jennings has a two-year high school in connection with the grades, making ten grades in all, he states. "There are only six teen pupils enrolled in the high school department and one half are boys," says Top. "The average age is 16 years and the average weight is 138 pounds. There are only six available players. We have won five out of nine games played and all competitors nave been four-year high schools. Four have been county high schools and the rest have been city high schools. We are mighty proud of the showing the team has made against its much heavier and older opponents but I do not hesitate to state that in a tournament, with only six men available we could not stand the con tinuous grind. We have won from Decatur county, Rawlins county, and Clayton high school. The Decatur team was weakened by the loss of its center and captain, who were suffer ing from blood poison at that time. In my mind Decatur has the strongest team in this section of the state and is capable of defeating Goodland by a safe margin. However, Goodland has failed to schedule a game with Ober lin." The Wheaton, Kan., high school team is leading in the race for the championship of Pottawatomie coun ty, having won eight games and re ceived no defeats. It has scored 392 points to its -opponents' 110. The teams It has defeated and. the scores of the games are as follows: West moreland, 26 to 13 and 49 to 4: Gar rison, 37 to 23 and 30 to 18; Havens ville. 82 to 12 and 36 to 8: Onaga. 69 to 3: St. George, 63 to 29. The three high point men on the team are: Lester Griffith, 201 points: Chester Bushby. 66 points and Robert Griffith, E8 points. The Crawford county All-Star bas ketball team of Croweburg. Kan., de feated the Haskell institute quintet bv a score of 41 to 26. in a game played at Croweburg recently. The All-Stars is one of the strongest teams in that part of the state and apparently is willing to play all comers. Altho the basketball team of Atchi son high school has had an unsucess ful season to date, having lost every game played in the Northeast Kansas league, the team Is still receiving strong support from the students of the school and inhabitants of the city. The size of the crowd attending the games are the largest in history. The three basketball teams of Marion high school made a novel rec ord recently. Each team defeated its opponents in games played on the same evening. The teams are: high schools bovs. hierh srhooin clrla Bnt junior team. The Buffalo, Kan., American Legion team was defeated by the Coffeyville American Legion by a score of 35 to 25. in a game played this week on the Coffeyville court This defeat was a death blow to the Buffalo team's claims for the American Legion cham pionship of southern Kansas, as it was the second defeat received from Cof feyville this season. IN TIE FOB FIRST PLAGE Southwestern and Fairmount Have 1.000 Per Cent Showing. The next week probably will tell whether Southwestern college will maintain its position at the top of the Kansas Intercollegiate conference in the chase for the basketball pennant. Southwestern and Fairmount are the only teams in the conference with a 1000 per cent showing and it Is possible that the two games between these two teams, one Monday at Win field, the other at Wichita on the fol lowing Wednesday, will determine the championship. At any rate it appears likely that the two games will elimi nate one of t!ie present leaders. Southwestern thus far. however, has been playing what are considered the weaker teams of the conference. The ensuing week will be the most strenu ous of the season. Tonight the Moundbuilders will meet the Ottawa university five on the home court. Ot tawa now stands fourth on the conference-list and: has shown excellent form in a number of the games this season. Following the two Fairmount games next week. Southwestern will meet the two strong Emporia teams. College of Emporia on February 20, and the Kansas State Normal school on the twenty-third and on the home court again will meet the Emporia Normals on the twenty-fifth. Washburn plays Pittsburg Normal on the local court Tuesday and plays Ottawa at Ottawa on Friday. Wash burn should win from Pittsburg with out much difficulty but will probably be defeated by Ottawa.

The Newton high school basketball team forced its way into first place in the Arkansas Valley high school league by defeating Wichita by a score of 39 to 24 in a game played Friday night on the Newton court. Nickerson forced itself into a tie with Wichita for second place by de feating Hutchinson by a score of 23 to 22 in a game played Friday night at Nickerson. Arkansas City fought its way Into a tie with Kingman for fifth place by defeating Kingman by a score of 47 to 28 in a game played Friday night on the Arkansas City court. The results of the first two games put an entirely new angle on the pen nant race. Altho Newton is in the lead- and has a strong aggregation, it has a hard schedule facing it for the remainder of the season, and will pro bably be forced to win all its games to retain its lead and clinch the pen nant. Nickerson is playing a high brand of basketball but has been er ratic at times, and its real ability is not known. Wichita faces an easy schedule for the remainder of the season and is ready to jump back into first place in case of a Newton defeat. Arkansas Valley Standings. Won. Lost. Tct.

Sallee of the Bank Savings Life Insurance Com pany of Topeka, on their characteristic, fine statement to their 8.000 Kansas policyholders of the company as of December 31. This company is run as a life insurance company ought to be run. Its history in figures proves this affirmation. From this history we learn that during every year com mencing' in 1909 the company has made appreciable gains all along the line of endeavor. For example, dur-" ing the past year its admitted assets have grown from $l,5SfO,418 to 2, 000,827. During that period its net surplus has been augmented $25,825, its reserves for the protection iof its policyholders have been increased $363,546, its insurance in force, which shows a gain of $2,473,956, is now the substantial amount of $17,542,346.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1922 PEN HOT SO BAD Interests of Prisoners Safe guarded at Lansfng. harden Amrine jfolds Cleanli ness Above All Else. CONSTRUCT KEV CELL HOUSE e Wall Lighting System Also Prevents Escape. Shawnee County Liherally Rep resented Among Prisoners. BY WALT WARKIy. The Kansas state penitentiary has undergone radical changes since the ilays when the striped uniform and ilie lo'-k stop were in vogue. More over, it hns undergone changes sinee Warden M. K. Anirine tooK up his of ficial duties there. No longer a iftace n punishment merely, the -state's pen al i nstltutton hashecnme one of edu cation calculated to turn the prisoner free a better man. if possible, than when he entered its iron pates. Shawnee county is liberally repre sented amonK the 1.121 men in the prison. One has but to wonder about (or an hour inr.ide the walls to real ize this fact. However, the hoard of control has adopted a no-publicity potlry end n data relative to the names and present status of the pris oners can he obtained. A request for such a list was politely but firmly refused by Warden Amrine. No Information About VHmhmts. "We have two grounds for this," said ho. "First, there are certain criminals who jjlory in publicity and like nothing- better than to set their names hefore thepublic as safe crack ers u nd highway robbers. Unusual :;.s this may seem, it is true. But the second and best reason for withhoM ing publicity is ihe fact that it harms the convict when he eventually be comes free, People often forget and if there Is no publicity the man has a better chance to start over in the world and make something of him self." Two outstanding features greatly impress the v in tor. The first is the a hsolut e elea nlijiess a nd sanitation of 1 ho entire institution the second is the optimistic manner in which mot of the inmates apparently regard their lot. One might expect that a.mu-n 1 sentenced for life, or even for a term of ten to twenty-one years, would find little in the situation to joke about. Kiit they make the best of it and miss lio opportunity to crack a joke. Nevertheless they all want out. and pome of the long termers want out so badly that they will take a big risk to gain t heir f reedom. Examples of this are Kddie Adams, notorious bandit who later met death in a pistol duej with officers at Wichita: Jimmie Jones, who drew ten to fifty years for robbing the bank at St. Marys last spring, and another man who was shot and killed while attempting to stale the wall with him. Jimmie was hit. too, a nd recaptured. But after these breaks for liberty, the board in stalled a system of electric lights over the walls that make the territory both inside and outside as bright as day during the entire night. It is problematical how anyone ex cept a human fly, can scale the stone Avails. They are" twenty feet high at intervals a re towers where guards, armed with rifles or shotguns, are constantly i duty. The new lighting system greatly reduces the- already siim chances for escape. Utiilri New t oll House. One of the great improvements now in progress is the new cell houue with a capacity of 280 men. Inside i he big building the long rows of cells face each side, and there are five decks of them. These cells are en tirely open on one side, having neither bars nor doors to confine the prison ers. They are equipped with run ning water and in the lot) by ou the first flwor will be a reading room and tables where the men may pass their spare time studying, reading. 'or play ing games. In fact, so much greater will be the liberty of the men in this cell house that only those who are credited with mtritorius conduct will be permitted to occupy it. Warden Amrine points out that from 1Q to 15 per cent of the i nm.it es are usually eligible to be regarded in the light of trusties and it'sjs these men who will cocupy the new building. Such a plan, Amrine believes, will act as an inducement lor every prisoner to put forth the best in his character in or 'der to be transferred to these .new quarters. Th building is being constructed f nt irely by convict la nor, even the bricks being made at the prison, and would cost, if the contract were let to outside parties, about $ii00.000. Un der the circumstances it will cost the state about $30,000. The total number of 1,126 men now i?i the prison is 314 more than when the legisla tu re made the a p propria -tion for its maintainance during the year. January, moreover, was a rec ord month at thi institution. There were 7-0 tons more of coal produced during that month than during anv previous January during the last fif teen years. There were 12,000 pounds more of twine made than during any previous single month. The installa tion of a heating system in the brick plant enabled that institution to open in January this year, two months earlier than any previous season. Requisitions for brick this season will run 3.000.000 brick above what will be used at the prison itself, where the construction of the new cell house and other improvements will require 1,000,000 brick. Good Mace to Sleep. "Were the mines removed from Lan sing, the lot of the prisoners would not be half had. That is the worst work in the institution. But the men have good places to sleep, comfortable beds and plenty or good, wholesome food. Altho the old cell houses are bv no means modern, thev are kept scrupulously clean by constant scrub bing and scouring. Even in the crimJ inally insane ward, where cleanliness would be the last thing expected there is not even an odor and the floors and cells are as clean as in dustrious scrubbing will make them. In the twine mills, the tailor shops, the barber shop, the shoe shop, the laundry, the bakeries and the kitchens the lot of the mon .is apparently no harder thr i that of any others en gaged in similar pursuits outside the walls. In most cases the men now work about eight hours a day. Later, when the days become longer, nine hours will consitute the average day s work. About 30 per cent of the in mates of the prison are negroes, 7 per cent Mexicans and 1 per cent In dians. Relatives of the prisoners may GO TO CHURCH TOMORROW SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12.

8 THE TOPEF A DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11,-1922 THE REVENUE ACT Bureau Explains New Law as It Affects Farmers. Returns Must Be Filed by Single Persons With $1,000. 1921 TAX RATES UNCHANGED Bate Is 4 Per Cent on First $1,000 of Set. All Seeessary Expenses of the Farmers Are Deductible Items. Hundreds of questions relative to the revenue act of 1321 as it affects farmers have been received by the bureau of internal revenue. The pur pose of this article, which has been approved by the bureau, is to answer those most frequently presented. The new act requires that returns shall be filed by every single person the term including- widows, widowers f and persons not living with husband or wife whose net income for the year 1921 was $1,000 or more, or whose gross income was $5,000 or more and by every married person living with husband or wife whose f net income was $2,000 or more, or whose gross income was $5,000 or more". 'Nt income" is gross income, less certain specified deductions, which are more iberal than were provided by the revenue act of 1918. In gross income, the farmer is required to in clude "ail gains, profits and income derived from the sale or exchange of farm products, whether produced on the farm or purchased and resold." The requirement to file a return of gross income, regardless of the amount of net income, is a new pro vision of law. "Whether or net gross income equalled or exceeded $5,000, returns munt be filed by single per sons if the net income equalled or ex ceeded 1 ,000, and by married per sons if the net inenrne equalled or ex ceeded $2,000. In computing the net income of married persons, the earn ings or other income, of dependent minor children must be included. The Exemptions. The exemptions are $1,000 for single persons. $2,500 for married persons and heads of families whose net in come for 1921 was $5,000 or less and $2,000 for married persons and heads of families whose income was in ex cess of $5,000. Under the revenue act of 1918. the exemption allowed such persons was $2,000. regardless of the amount of net income. A person who supports in one household one or more relatives (other than wife or husband) is the head of family. The tax rates for 1921 are un changed 4 per cent on the first $4, 000 of net income above the exemp tion and 8 per cent on the remaining net income. The exemption for de pendentsa person dependent upon the taxpayer for chief support who is lander 18 years of age or mentally or physically incapacitated is increased from $200 to $400. Thus, a married man with three children under 18 years of age whose income for 1621 was $4,000, is entitled to an exemption of $3,700. The exemption allowed such a man for the year 1920 was $2,600. IX'ductlons Allowed Farmer. All necessary expenses incurred during the year 1921 in the operaticn of a farm as a business enterprise, are deductible items. These include har vesting and marketing of crops and tne cost of seed and fertilizer used. Amounts expended for the cost of feed for live stock may be claimed, but the value of a farmer's own products used for such purposes is not a deductible item. The farmer may deduct the cost of farm tools used up tn the course of a year, wages paid to employes (other than domestic servants) and rent paid for farm lands and buildings (other than the dwelling), cost of repairs to fence's and to wagons and machinery, also bills paid for horseshoeing, stock powders, rock salt, veterinary service, insurance (except on the dwelling) gasoline for operating power and sun dry minor -expenses. Machinery Xorf, Ucductllilc. The cost of farm 'machinery of a permanent character, such as a threshing machine or tractor and ex tensive repairs to farm buildings, such as placing a new roof on the barn, are not deductible expenses- These are regarded as capital investments, made for the purpose of improving the property and enhancing its value. Amounts expended in the develop ment of farms, orchards and ranches prior to the time when the productive state was reached, may be regarded as investments of capital, also amounts expended for the purchase of breeding or dairy animals. The purchase price of an automobile, even when wholly Used in carrying on farming opera tions, is not deductible, but is regarded as an investment of capital. The cost of gasoline, repairs and upkeep of an automobile, if used wholly in the busi ness of farming, is deductible as an ex pense, if nsed partly for business pur poses and partly for the pleasure or convenience of the taxpayer or his family, such cost may be apportioned according to the extent of such use. CJnly the proportion of cost attribut able to business is deductible as a nec essary expense. The farmer who keeps his accounts "on the receipts and disbursements basis'' which means a record of the amount actually received and the amount actually paid for expenses must file his income tax return for the year 1921 on that basis. Another method of keeping accounts of income and expenses is the "accrual basis." For those keeping their accounts on the accrual basis, inventories are nec essary at the beginning and end of each taxable year. The gross profits are obtained by adding to the inventory value of livestock "and farm products on hand at the end of the "year, amounts received from the sale of the stock and products and other miscel laneous receipts during the year, and deducting from this sum the inventory value of stock on hand at the begin ning of the year, plus the cost of stock and produce purchased during the year. As an illustration of the difference between the receipts and disbursements basis and the accrual basis, let us take a cash purchase on December 1, 1921 of 5 tons of hay and 1,000 bushels of corn and oats; by the receipts and disbursements basis, the cost would be deducted from gross in come for the year 1921, and by the accrual method, the cost of only the amount used in December would be charged to that year, and the balance carried by inventory into the year 1922, to be a charge against gross income of that year. Losses Incurred in the operation of a farm as a business enterprise are deductible from gross income. If, however, farm products are held for favorable markets, no deduction is al- Fabled Fountain of Youth Has Been Found in Kansas U. S. Census Figures Show Fifty Persons 100 Years Old or Over Were Living in Sun flower State on January 1, 1920 Total of 34,393 Persons Older Than 75 Years. If Ponce de Leon had traveled to Kansas' he might have found the fabled fountain of youth. At least this state appears to be notable for the longevity of its inhabitants. Exactly fifty persons 100 years old or over were living in Kansas on Jan uary 1, 1920. according to federal census figures just received here. Of this number twenty-three were men and twenty-seven were women. In Nebraska, an adjoining state with a population approximately 70 per cent that of Kansas, the number of cen tenarians is fourteen. Comparative figures are not available here for other states in this section. Kansas had 34,393 persons older than 75 years at the last census, di- vided by age groups as follows: Men Women 75 to 70 yenrs. 0 to K4 years.. STi to M years. M to yenrs.. .11.820- i.:!H2 4,827 4.414 1M l,tW7 ..3-"- 43ft W) 7fi 23 27 to If., years. jou yeara and over. In 1920, 22.4 per cent of the state's population was 45 years old and over as compared with 20.3 per cent in 1910. The percentage of those past the 45-year mark was 20.4 in Ne braska and 18 in South Dakota. The percentage of persons under 5 years lowed on account of shrinkage in weight or value, for the reason that when such products are sold, the shrinkage will be reflected in the sell ing price. The total loss by frost, storm, flood or fire of a prospective crop is not deductible. The reason is that unless the crop reaches maturity and is harvested and sold, its value never reached gross income, and therefore an arbitrary deduction of such loss cannot be allowed. The loss of a growing crop simply means that the farmer has so much less gross in come to report and therefore would pay a reduced tax, if any tax at all. A loss in the value of animals raised on the farm is not deductible, except as such loss is reflected in an inven- j tory, if used. However, if livestock was purchased for any purpose and afterwards died from disease, exposure or injury, or was killed by order of the authorities of the state or the United States, the actual purchase price less any depreciation which may have been previously sustained with respect to such stock, and any insur ance or indemnity recovered may be deducted as a loss. Deductions of family or living ex penses such as rent for a dwelling, re pairs to a dwelling, cost of food and clothing for the family, education of children, servants' wages and similar items are expressly prohibited by the revenue act of 1921. General deduc tions, such as for taxes, interest on personal indebtedness, losses sustained in transactions entered into for profit aide from the farmer's regular busi ness, losses sustained by fire;-storm, or other casualties, bad debts and con tributions, are explained in instruc tions on the form for filing returns. The farmer must include in his return of gross income not only the profits of his farm, but all other income -such as interest on bank deposits and prof- its received from the sale or rent of 1 farm lands. The farmer who lets out I a farm on a crop-share baste must in elude in his income tax return for the year the cash when received. A farm j er who lets out a farm on a cash rental basis and is paid in crops must report i the exact cash rental agreed upon whether or not the crops are dis posed of. Special Form for Farmers. The bureau of internal revenue has had prepared for farmers a special form 1040 K for recording sales of livestock, produce and miscellaneous receipts. All farm income from any source whatever must be reported in this schedule, which must be attached to the form for making individual returns. Forms 1040 A for income of $5,000 or less and 1040 for individual in comes in excess of $5,000, may be ob tained in the offices of collectors of internal revenue and branch offices. These former will be mailed to per sontw'ho filed similar returns of in come for the year 1920. Failure to receive the form, however, does not relieve the person from filing his re turn and paying the tax within the time prescribed by law. The return must be filed on or before March 15, 1922. The tax this year, as last, may m our j insta. mt,Mm v,pfoVf? Marrh 15. June 15, September 15 and December 15. Heavy penalties are provided by the revenue act for failure or wilful refusal to file a return, and pay the tax on time. Revenue officers are visiting every county in the United States to assist taxpayers in the preparation of their income tax returns for the year 1921. The date of their arrival and the loca tion of thier offices will be announced thru the press, or may be obtained on inquiry at offices of collectors of in ternal revenue and branch offices. This advisory service is without cost to tho taxpayer. Before seeking such assistance, however, taxpayers should read caefuliy the instructions on the forms. 25 'YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From the column of THE TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL February 11, 1S97.

Gunther in the insurance business in Masnville, Ten a. old In Kansas decreased in the last decade from 11.3 to 10.6. Dr Ixrrigo Gives Causes. The increased proportion of older Kansans may be due to any or all of the following causes, according to Dr. Charles 'I. Lerrigo, chief of the divi sion of vital statistics of the state board of health: 1. State itself is growing old and. with it. the pioneers. (Kansas was admitted to statehood sixty-one years ago.) 2. A lower birth rate, resulting in a decreased proportion of those in the lower age groups. 3. A climate and surroundings in Kansas conducive to health and long life. Age Groups in Kansas. The 1920 census figures divide' the population of Kansas into the fol lowing age groups; Under 5 years 187,262 Under 1 year (36,294) 5 to 9 years 185,270 10 to 14 years 179,311 15 to 19 years 162.691 20 to 44 years 655,321 45 years and over 396.665 Age unknown 2,737 All ages 1,769,257 More than 100 Kansas American Le gion posts have received citations from state headquarters as a reward for re enrolling for 1922 75 per cent or more of their membership at the time of the last state convention. Florence, with an increase of 294.1 per cent, heads the list in proportion ate gains, followed by Buffalo, 268.8 per cent Parsons, 259.1 per cent, and Sterling, 202.2 per cent. Nearly fifty posts rate better than 100 per cent. Posts equalling their 1921 member ship by March 1 will receive a second form of citation, while new posts will receive citations when the member ship reaches thirty. When ex-service men are released from a Wichita hospital, they will not become dependents on charity, if they are not able to work. H,. H. Schops, w ho is connected with the Monarch Printing company at Wichita, has of fered to take several disabled veterans. who have no homes and are without means of support, as members of his family until they are sutncientiy re covered to be able to support them selves. Schops said; "1 was too old to go into the service, but I am willing to do all I can for any ex-service man. Needless to say it will be an easy mat ter to supply him with as many men he wishes to take into his home. The offer was made to Mrs. Grace I. Jackson, chairman of the welfare committee of the American Legion auxiliary in Wichita. In a recent communication to state headquarters. she reported that men in hospitals often approached her with the re quest for some light form of work that they might do when they were released. Many of the men have no money and work is the first thing for which they ask. Schops's offer is considered one of the finest things that could be done for the men who, when released from hospitals, are not totally recovered yet find it necessary to work that they may live. Compiling vital facts about the five million ex-service men in the United SUtes is a job the American Legion is now undertaking in its national "service and compensation" drive, re cently approved by the legion's con ference in Indianapolis. The drive is taking the form of a census, w;th each state department determining its own dates for. carrying out the work. The Kansas census will be taken in March. To lay a foundation for the pro posed "rotating fund," to be raised by the legion for the benefit of ex-soldiers in acute circumstances, is a prime purpose of the census. Each veteran will be asked to specify whether he favors the establishment of such a fund and whether he would be willing to contribute his compen sation allotment, if he did not need it, with the passage of bonus legislation. The money thus raised would be loan ed to 'needy service men at a low rate of interest and with no security. A further aim of the census is to record war disability cases. If a vet eran was wounded or gassed, or was sick, or suffered any injury in the service, if he has an ailment that can be traced to service, he will register the facts on the questionnaire and assistance will be provided by the legion in filing compensation claims. Every man will be urged to carry gov ernment insurance. The census takers will also acquaint each man interviewed with the five provisions of the pending adjusted compensation bill and will ask him to name his choice. In this way an accurate forecast of the administra tion of the bill will be secured. Non legion men will be asked to become members, the aim of the organiza tion being to eventually have every ex-soldier enrolled. 1,095 BLIND IN KANSAS Kansas Ranks Twelfth Among States of Union, Report Snows. Kansas ranks twelfth among the states of the Union in the number of niina persons to each 100,000 of pop ulation, according to statistics com piled by the bureau of census There are 1,095 blind persons in Kansas, or 61.9 to each 100,000 population. Only ejeven otner states have a larger per centage of blind than this. mere were 5 2.616 blind persons enumerated in tne United States tne census ot ISZO. This gives an average of one blind person to every 2,000 population in the nation. The number of blind men predominate over women, about three to two. Blindness is most common amone In j dians, with about 200 blind to every iuu.uuu population. There Is also a comparatively large amount of blind ness among negroes, with 60 blind per iuu,uu. xne ratio among white per sons is 4S.3 and among Chinese and Japanese, 23.2. Comparing the states. New-Mexico has the greatest amount of blindness, averaging 15 a t Hi. f-0 population.

H. McKanna, of Stockton, has; the honor of being the oldest con tinuous settler in Rooks county. He went there in -December, 1871, and has staid there ever since. He "sauatted" on a homestead, on the South Solomon river late in the af. ternoon, and aouth of where WooJ ston is built. The foMowinfe day he and Thos. McNulty continued' their journey farther up the river to Elm Creek, stopping at the place where McN'ulty homesteaded early in March. 1871, and only two miles southeast where Stockton, the county seat, is located. A townsite was laid out on the government land, in September. 1871. Several other homesteaders from Marysville, Clyde, Washington, Beloit, and other places also put in an early appearance. McNulty is now dead, but McKanna is living, has good health, and is 64 years old. Since the death of McNulty the honor goes to McKanna as being the oldest pioneer settler in continuous years living in Rooks county. He .has witnessed the settlement and', development of the county from the start. Since his resi dence in the 'county he helped to slaughter the buffalo and antelope. He witnessed the building of hundreds of sod houses, for these kinds of shel ter had to be the habitation of many of the pioneers who went there with scant means. In later years he saw them disappear to make room for the modern homes. He saw every build ing erected in Stockton, and he watched the destruction of most of them to make room for the substan tial brick and stone blocks. He has seen the two Or more old. court house shacks give way to a $200,000 modern one now. being erected which is said will outshine all other county buildings in the Sixth district. Your correspondent is glad to number Mc Kanna :With his loyal friends. Northwest Kansas is rapidly taking a front rank in the Hereford stock in dustry. Frank and Madison Turner, brothers of State Auditor N. A. Tur ner, are pioneer settlers of Atwood and Rawlins county. They own two of the best bred Hereford herds in the state. They have for many years followed the livestock game out in that section, and the records will show they have shipped more cattle and hogs than all the other dealers com bined. From a small beginning with a few head they have increased their number, now having a number of re peated prize winners, at the fairs among their herds. The Turners are also successful farmers, and own sev eral hundred acres in Rawlins county. Every week's issue of the Norcatur Dispatch has several verses from the Bible quoted in the columns. The editor tries to make all his friends happy. In one of his pleasant para graphs he says: "If given our choice among all the beautiful, intellectual and fascinating women of the country, we'd unhesitatingly choose our own wife." In another item he says: "We wouia ratner near the bark of a dog, j or the grunt of a pig, than to hear some fellows open their mouth and vomit forth a mass of grouchy, foul matter that doesn't set well on their own stomachs." There are two mounds In Rooks county Known as Twin Mounds and Sugar Loaf mound. Two townships in ttlP Pnimlu w.ra vi 1 m.llCU CLUCl Hie mounds. Twin Mound and Sugar Loaf. j.ne oiuest settler now living in the county, P. H, McKanna, believes they were named by the government sur veyors years before there was a set tler in the county. He can't recall to mum ui ever nearing anyone men tioning, or suggesting these names, he says. These mounds were always a guide for the early pioneer settlers, from the summit of which the early hompsfpadpr mnlH n. the country. Twin Mounds are a dou- u-ic une, itiiu covers aoout'su acres. Their heght is from 200 to 400 feet. The rock on these mounds is hard and rough, and scattered on top and around the edges. McKanna visited these mounds in 1872, and found them sodded over with buffalo grass. A branch of Elm creek heads on one side of them, and this furnished the water to the early pioneers in Rooks county. Crossing the country from Stockton toPlainville Twin Mounds was always in view to the. east. It was the pleasure of your correspon dent to visit the summit of these two mounds on his first visit to Plain ville for the Atchison Champion, near ly half a century ago, and years .be fore Rooks county had a railroad. One of the incidents of that trip if the driver and his companion had had v .miiu ,n iv ik y) enough empty whisky and beer bottles to have filled the wagon box. Times have changed since then, and about all one sees now is some empty pat ent medicine bottles, Peruna, Hostet ters, lemon extract oi- something of the sort. The other mound so named Sugar Loaf because of its peculiar formation, is in the northwest part cf Rooks county. It is a tract of land covering about 20 acres. The stone is of a rough sand rock, and the sur rounding country is rough and sandy. Its elevation is higher than Twin Mound. In pioneer days there wasn't any vegetation noticeable, but there was some bunch grass. The soil was Poor. It is safe to say these mounds were a source of delight to the cara vans of prairie schooners who were seeking homesteads in that section in the early seventies. From their summits the country could be seen for miles in all directions, J. W. Deeter. editor and publisher of the Norcatur Dispattjh, on the county line road of Norton-Decatur counties, refuses to be a candidate for legis lative honors of Decatur county. He has buHt up a fine, newsy paper, and his business don't Justify him neglect ing it for a $3.00 a day job for fifty days work. He springs J. S. Rule, of Clayton, for the position. He says if he will take.it that he-will represent all portions of the county in its en tirety. T-he writer of these notes has known him for years as a good citizen and successful -business man. 1 Such a man in the legislature -will be of value not only to Decatur county but the state. A representative Republican from the Sixth district who attended the Kansas Day banquet, nor is he a can didate for any office, is of the opin ion that Congressman White is too slow in regard to his appointing pow er. There are a lot of hungry Repub licans who are entitled to the post offices in that district more so than he Democrats now holding them. This 1 lepublican said there may be about half a dozen changes so far, but they don't come fast enough to, suit us, he said. In many counties in northwest Kan sas the wheat condition is said to be good. I Decatur county it is claimed the chances f or a crop are good if moisture comes in March, and-April. The Oakley Graphic, printed in Logan county, and on the edge of Gove and Thomas counties, says: "In spite of the unusually dry winter the farmers, of Logan, Gove and Thomas counties report the wheat still in good condi tion. The surface is dry, but the wheat is in good growing condition, and with spring moisture will make a good crop. This section is in far bet ter condition than the counties east of us." T. H. McCall of Beloit, was a To peka visitor several days, on official business. He is county clerk of Mitchell county, and Is serving his fifth term. He breaks the 'record as the longest in office in that county for the same position. Besides he has made good in the work in his office. The Democrats try to beat him, but his political pole has always been the longest, and his victory over that party has been easy. He has many friends in Topeka who are al ways glad to see him. The' motor truck line between St. Francis and, Denver has already proved a business success to Insure the addition of another daily motor. In one day the new truck line hauled over 6,500 pounds of freight and ex press, besides the passengers. The new bank building in St. Fran cis was thrown open to visitors, .it is said more than a thousand persons attended the opening-. Cajhier Sawhill passed around more than 500 cigars, besides gave to the ladies many dozens of carnations and. each one an apple. A fine orchestra was present to en liven the occasion. The St. Francis people are always doing good things, and on account of this the town has always been known for its progression. The town now has three of as mod ern bank buildings as one will run across in northwest Kansas. The Oakley Graphic has the fol lowing to say of the gubernatorial situation. That paper might have said that the Sixth district, while already furnishing three of the state officers who are candidates for renomination, hasn't any candidate for governer: "It is to be regretted that the big storm at the national capital could r.ot have occurred at Topeka, and snowed under a few of the guberna torialsprouts who put in an appear ance on Kansas Day." -A successful business man always wants to be making more money. This is what J. H. Egan, of St. Francis, is doing. Since the first of the new year he has bought and shipped more than 5,000 raw hides. Of these 4.600 were skunk hides, the balance being wolf. They command a good price this year, he says, double of what they did a year ago. This same man Egan wasn't afraid to mix some poli tics in. his business success last year, and ran for the primary nomination for congress in the Sixth district on the Democratic ticket. He received a, fine vote, which showed his popular ity.. John O. Boyle, a former Rock Island engineer, who pulled the first train into Goodland, is now located in Wyoming doing an insurance business. He represented Sherman county in the state legislature, during Gov. Hoch's second administration. He was one of the most popular men of the town, and in his legislative work he stood up for Goodland and Sherman coun ty. He is missed by his many friends, who wish him well in his new homei Albert Reed, of Sherman county, one of the early homesteaders and farmers of his county, afterwards a Rock Island employe, and later sher iff of the county two terms, also an extensive business man of Goodland, is now water commissioner and city marshal.- He also took a prominent part in the county seat fight between Eustis and Goodland in the early ex citing strife- for "honors" between those towns, which contest was set tled without spilling a drop of blood. MAY BUILDMORE BOARDS Merchants' Association Believes In Outdoor Advertising1. Sentiment is strong 'for the erection of an additional 100 "booster' bill boards by the Topeka Merchants as sociation. It will be stronger when the simpli fied spelling used by some of the painters who worked on the present boards has been corrected, officials of the association believe. "Those painters apparently did their snellinKr entirely bv ear." Milton Ta- bor, association secretary, says. "And their hearuig must have been poor at times." For the most part the boards have been found satisfactory. "They have been inspected and barring a few words that even the board of direc tors would have to look up in tho dictionary all are good boards," Ta bor says. A large increase in business has been noted by firms using boards on all the main roads leading into To peka. One firm leasing five boards, says that its business in December set a new high record. The manager be lieves that outdoor advertising, sup plementing its newspaper space, is re sponsible. The association directors will deter mine if there is sufficient demand to warrant putting on a selling campaign j for more boards. The local sign firms will be, given first chance at the busi j ness. It is hoped that arrangements i can be made whereby some local con- cern will erect and maintain the hoards.

Measure Will Go to .Vote of Citizens of State. WAR CHEST BEING COLLECTED Provides for Payment of $1 for Each Day in.Seryice. Speakers' Bureau lYill Be Mo- bilized for Much Work. A thoroly organized campaign, un xler'the direction of a full-time man ager, will be waged by the American Legion for the state bonus measure to be submitted to aTeferendum of Kan sas voters next November. The state executive committee hopes to employ the manager some time this month. The campaign will be under the general supervision of Brig. Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf. state commander, and Frank E. Samuel, state adjutant. A special compensa tion committee may be formed to act in an advisory capacity ia conjunc tion with the executive Committee. A "war chest" is now being col lected. The last state convention in creased the department dues for 1922 from fifty cents to one dollar, the in creased Revenue to be used to defray expenses of the state-wide compensa tion campaign and to render more efficient serv.ee to members. The state bonus measure, passed by the 1921 legislature with scarcely a dissenting vote, provides for payment of $1 for each day of military service rendered by Kansans in the World war. The money is to be obtained thru a bond issue. Under the state conrtitution bond issues of more than one million dollars must be submitted to the electorate. 21 Million Required. Estimating 70,000 ex-service men In the state entitled to adjusted com pensation, with an average of 300 days .in the service, about 21 million dol lars would be required to' pay the bonus. "In every state where a bonus meas ure has been put to popular vote it has passed by overwhelming ma jorities," said Adjutant Samuel. "We do not anticipate any material op position in Kansas. However the Amarican Legion will be organized on a basis practically to assure success of the measure." The bulwark of the campaign, ac cording to early plans, will be in ef forts put forth by the rank and file of the legion, assisted by the women's auxiliary. This means a force of at least 35,000. Each post would be re sponsible for success of the measure in its territory. The present news service and pub licity bureau of the state department will be enlarged so as to-furnish ade quate advance information, about the bonus measure to Kansas newspapers. Legion advertising experts will be drafted for consultation. The speakers bureau will be mobil ized for the campal&n $o 1 that trained corps of speakers, supplied with full data and. arguments, ymay stump the state. -fv The Penwell Undertaking Company Mrs. Tl.

Union I'lK'U'if Miisazlno T.'lls of His Association With 'flint lioail. The Linc oln birthday number of the Vmnn Pacific magazine, the new pub lication of the L'nion Tucific Systehi, tells of Abraham Lincoln's association n-ith the railroad, (in July 1. 1862, he signed theact authorizing ilseon Mruction. The ohject of the road was to effect a Pacific l'nion, which name reversed is the title of the railroad. President Lincoln fixed the eastern terminus of the road at Council Bluffs. p.efore his connection with .the Union Pncitic. Lincoln was attorney for the Illinois Central and Hock Is land Lines. In the belief that he would be opposed to government own ership of railroads, the editor of the l'nion Pacific magazine Ivisvcom nosed a paraphrase of the tlettyslmrg ad dress entitled "If Lincoln Were Alive Tui'tny:". "Four score and ten years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a. new industry, conceived by private invention and dedicated to the quasi IHiblic purpose of moving persons and lAoperty from place to place. Now -we are engaged in a great economic war. testing whether that industry or any industry so conceived and so dedi cated can long endure. We have reached a crisis in that war. We have come to the point where we must de cide whether our great steel highways, built and operated as private com panies; and supervised by the govern ment, can continue in their present form, and be allowed to earn a reason ab'.e return on the fair value of the property devoted to the public service, or whether that business, encompassed by reeulatinns impossible of fulfill ment, shell be made unprofitable and then be taken over by the government. "It is cltogether fitting and proper that we. should discuss this. But in ft large sense, we should discuss it only with full realization of its' economic effect, without bias, and with careful deliberation upon complete survey of the facts. The brave men living and dead who struggled to perfect the sci ence of vailroading have dedicated to f-oeicty a transportation machino that commands tfte admiration and respect of a.11 m."-Ti'Hnd. The world will little note ror'long remember what we say, but it can never forget what they did. It is for us. who remain, to dedicate ourselves to the great task remaining before us. that we here highly resolve that their, efforts shall not have been in vain, that this industry, under God. shall have a new birth of freedom, and that private enterprise under public direction shall not perish from our land." L. O. Leonard, historian of the Union'Pacif. says that it war only on Union Pacific documents that the president signed his full name. "Abra ham Lincoln:" on all other documents he signed, "A. Lincoln." The records ares rich with mention of President Lincoln's association -with the railroad, fhnwine that he took a great Interest In its development. CUT SUMMER TOURIST RATES l'nion Pacific Announces 20 Pfr Cent Rttlurtion to Mountain Point. According to a bulletin sent out this week bv the passenger- department of the Union i'acific. summer tourist rates to the Rocky mountain regions will be 2t rer' cent lower this year than last. The following roundtrtp fares from Topeka are announced: To Denver and Colorado Springs. S26.30; Estes Park, $36.80: Salt Lake Ogden nnd Yellowstone Park. $65. The tentative dates are from May 15 to September 30. inclusive. CIT SUMMER TOURIST RATKS Rock Island Announces Reduction to Rocky Mountain Region. C. E. Bascom. city passenger agent for the Rock Island, received a mes sage Friday stating that there, would be a material reduction In this year's summer tourist rates to Colorado and other mid-western points. The raw from points west of the Missouri river and return will be one and one-fourth of the regular one way fare, and the round trip- rate from points east of the Missouri river will be one and one-tenth of the regular one wy fare. The summer tourists rates will go on sale May 15 China with a population of 300, 000. 000 has only 6.800 miles of rail ways, or approximately 4,000 less than is included ih the Santa Fe system alone. Railroads between New York and Chicago have reduced the passenger fare $2, which with the elimination of the war tax reduces the fare $4.5S per person. The receiver for the Missouri North Arkansas is planning to finance the system in order to place it in operation again after a shut down for the past six months. The Railway Journal says: If rail way officials were allowed to devote their entire time to railway operation instead of pleading for exisTence at i Washington, the country would get better service. From i-punrts received, the largest mileage of automatrc signals installed i bv any railroad in 1921, was on the iMlfeSOUn, IVaiil- OC ICArtn, VfllllJl service 153.7 5 miles of sihgle track. using 253 signals.

Passenger traf fic was less than for any year since 19l5, and about 20 per cent less than in 1SI20. The Rock Island is now engaged in moving fifteen special trains of thirty j cars each in transporting shipments of I motor cars from the Iurant Motor company, Long Island City, N. Y., to California. Two of the trains have already gone thru Topeka and the others will follow at Intervals of about ten days for the next four op five months. Missouri Pacific officials have hot yet determined the family connections of Frank Kaster. an extra gang la borer, who was killed near Glen Eider last week when a-trailer attached to a motor car upset .on the Central Branch track. Kastsr was 40 years old. His body is being held at Downs. He had $700 on deposit in a Kansas City bank. The Burlington, which recently an nounced that it had placed orders for 7,300 new freight cars, now reports that contracts have been let for 127 cars for passenger train service, in cluding twelve dining cars, fifty-three baggage and mail cars and sixty-two passenger coaches. All of the passen ger cars are to be ready for service in the summer, it is said. Atchison Globe: Business Is pick ing up rapidly along the Central Branch. Night before last a hundred cars of cattle, collected at various points along tho division, passed thru Atchison on their way to the Kansas City market. The name crew later took a htindred emntv rrain cars out on the branch from Atchison, for dis- i inouuon 10 snipping points lor wheat movement. Car purchases made by the four railroads running thru Topeka were small during the year 1921. The Santa Fe led with orders for 2.500 refrigerator cars and 1,300 gondolas. The Hock Island purchased 200 gon dolas and the Union Pacific fourteen new dining cars. Ho far as known no cars were contracted for by the Mis souri Pacific. This year the Union Pacific has already placed orders for 4,500 new box cars. AVIXD DAMAGE IS IN" DOUBT But lCi'iMirtK Reaching the Santa Fe Show Wheat Needs Rain. According to reports reaching J. rt. Knontz, assistant freight traffic man ager of the Santa Fe, the result of this week's h;gh winds on the wheat crop in central and western Kansas is very much in doubt. The reports show that any damage, indicted to the wheat is at least spotted and that the final outcome will not be known until there is enough moisture to make It evident. Only in fields where the soil was very loose is the damage notice able at the present tinte. many of the reports stated. The wheat everywhere In the state in needing rain badly. Ksoiaen opine Nation's First Transcontinental Railroad a: Scene following the driving of the Golden May 10, 1869, was memorable date in the early railroad history of the western half of the American continent. For years the east had prospered by a system of railways which then connected all of the more important cities but not until about the lime of the Civil war did any one commence to figure seriously on connecting the east and the Mississip pi valley section with the Pacific coast. To any one who had conceived the idet the Rocky mountains stood as a gigantic bar to railroad opera LET CONTRACT NEXT WEEK Santa Fe Not Worried About Getting Authority to Build Sutanla Line. Announcement is made that the Santa Fe will receive bids next week for the construction of the Satanta ex tension and that work on tHe line will be started as quickly as possible. Con- iraciors. ana engineers nave ing over the proposed route of the new brazen during the .past two weeks and notices required by the interstate commerce commission have been pub- lished in the official papers official papers of Has i Stanton couties, the which the lirfe will be i Has kell, Grant and counties thru built, Altho there appears to be some de lay in getting permission to build the line from the interstate commerce commission, Santa Fe officials say there is no doubt but that the nec essary authority will come in time to prevent any delay in the construction schedule. That there should be any delay at all, however, in getting action from the commission, has been a sur- prise in Santa Fe circles as well as in the territory which the proppsed line will serve. In a telegram which Clyde M. Reed, then in Washington, sent- to the Santa Fe legal department early this- week, the chairman of the Kansas utilities commission stated that while he was not opposed to the Santa Fe's exten- sion he desired "uniform treatment of other railroad projects in Kansas." Iteea s telegram came i repiy iu a reauest that he join wiTh tiovernor Allen in pressing the commission for a favorable decision immediately. Reed had been before the commission and presented his views, the message saiu The' governor had previously wired the commission that the project was a worthy one anfi asked that authority to build the line be granted at once without the usual formality of a hear ing. He made the request after re ceiving the usual query from the com mission in regard to such matters and after looking over the petitions which the railroad company filed with the utilities commission. The petitions are lengthy and form a unanimous-expression from the citifns of Grant and Stanton counties in favor of the road being built. t Questioned upon fiis return from Washington concerning his wire to the Santa Fe's legal department. Reed again stated that he was not opposed to the Santa Fe's extension but that he and the interstate commerce com mission at Washington were in accord on insisting that every proposition of this kind must be considered on its own merits, and that there were many different matters to oc entered Into before authority Could be granted by elther -ihe state utilities or the inter state commerce commission. "There are four of these projects ih western Kansas at the present time," said Reed. "In addition to the Sajita Fe's proposed Satanta branch, there is the Golden Belt which wrould consist of a line from Hays south to Great Bend, and the two Byers pro jects, one from Liberal to Hugoton and "on west, and the other from Yaugh north to Lacrosse. What we propose to recommend in these cases has not been decided but I have dis cussed them with the interstate com merce commission and we must insist that every proposition of .this kind. under the present conditions, must be considered on its merits.

George Godfrey Moore ot Topeka today snatched at the honor of being the first Kansan to buy aircraft prop erry damage insurance.

If any part or occupant of an aircraft falls upon his honie and damages a shingle, chimney or even goes, on thru to the basement and damages any portion or valuable therein, Moore calls up the insurance .office and collects on his policy. -'"It may sound rather unnecessary at this time," Holmes Meade of the Trapp Meade Insurance service said today, "but there is a time coming, we believe, when such a risk will be classed with fire, tornado, burglar and other policies.

FIGHTS FOR HOME1 i WomStn Says Husband and Father-in-Law Conspire. Try to Eject Her From Ijouse at 1134 West Street. Averting that her husband had in vited her to commit suicide and that he is now in conspiracy with his aged father- to eject her from her htme, Mrs. Lillian Warnick, 1134 West street, today appealed to-the district court for protection; She asks for separate maintenance -in -the sum-of $100 a month, together with the eus todav of their two children, Holland, 14, and Robert; 12j and J25 a month for their support. She names as de fendants in the suit her husband, Rob ert S. Warnick, jr.,' fend his fathef, Robert S. Warnick, sr This is the second time Mrs. War nick has brought court .action against her husbahd. Her first petition was filed afar 25, "1921; and dismissed by her July 23. Would Prefer Death. Mr; Warnick said she had expressed a desire to die rather than live with Warnick under the circumstances. He then invited her to go for an auto rdie, she saysy and when they arrived at the west end of Gage park he pro duced a revolvtr and handed it to her, stating that "she had expressed a de sire to die and now her time had come." He urged her to shoot him and then kill herself, she asserts. Mrs. Warnick says that in 1915 they purchased the -property at 1134 West street arid entered into .a contract whereby the elder .Warnick was to live with them -and that the property was to be shared equally by Mr. and Mrs. Warnick at the time of his death. But either Warnick or his father, the wife declares, later destroyed the con tract.

T heard trie Victor records at the Quild Music store and there are some exceptionally good ones. "June Moon," played by the Benson orchestra is a wonderful foxtrot not only a listening, but a dancing tune very good melody and orchestration. On the other side, another, foxtrot. "No One's Fool," and he must have written it himself for it is quite ail right. Record, fans are familiar with Paul Whiteman's orchestra which has given us so many good records. ThW month's Victor release includes two of them; "Gypsy Blues" is a draggy, dreamy, jazzy tune tHat is bound to be very popular. On the other side is "When Buddha -Smiles"' also a foxtrot, but a good contrast to the other one. The time is quicker, ahd full of new stSps for the -trieky trotter. The other Whiteman records both sides of which are typically "Eastern Melodies" tempered by ihe American influence includes, "Just a Little Love Song" and "Ty-Tee," both topping foxtrots If yoji haven't heard "The Shiek" and "Everybody Step," you'll want to, and can at Guild's.

I saw many attractive new Spring dresses yester day at The W. W. Mills Company Store. The taffeta frocks are all charming. Most of them have tight bodices and ruffly bouffant skirts. One that I liked especially was made of an excellent quality of black taffeta with a round lace-trimmed neck, short sleeves and flaring hips trimmed with a succession of rosettes. In the more tailored styles there is at Mills an exceedingly smart dress of dark blue Poiret twill in straight lines with a narrow belt at the hips; two narrow panels hang from the"-shoulders at the back and lap under the hem of the skirt. The sleeves and patch pockets are effec tively braided in gold thread and orange cord. v tSport dresses for street wear are very good, so the authentic stylists say, and you'll agree that they should be when you see the god looking one of brown Romaine crepe at The W. W. Mills Store. The fullness of the blouse is gathered in at the hip line, and the collar, sleeves and straight side panels are braided tnv black silk. Besides the street dresses, the Mills Store is showing stunning new dinner dresses. A very handsome one and in case the size interests you; it is a forty) is made of black canton crepe with sleeves and over draperies of black silk Spanish lace. The skirt it self is draped and has a straigHt girdle beaded in silver metal effect. It is withal a very graceful and charming frock and would be especially be coming to a full figure.

Byers MARRIED Mr. and Mrs. D. M. It is a very rare occasion when a couple, celebrate their sixtieth wed ding anniversary, but such a distinc tion has come to Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Muth, of Republic. Kan., who were married at Carrollton, Ind., February 2, 1862. A few months after their marriage the groom felt it his duty to respond to his country's call for volunteers, and he and his brother, A. W. Muth. went to Indianapolis, where, on the 9th day of August. 1862. they enlisted in Co. B of the 79th Indiana Volun teer Infantry. On the 27th day of the same month they left for the fronl with that regiment of brave Hoosier bovs who saw almost constant service until the close of the war. Of the 11 officers and men who enlisted 'n Co. B only thirteen officers and thirty two privates remained4 when the com pany was mustered out at Nashville, Tenn.. the latter part of July. 1865. After Mr. Muth's return from the war Mr. and Mrs. Muth made their home in Indiana until September. 1868. when they moved to Jasper county.

Here, with their fellow pioneers, they braved and endured the hardships and privations of those who crossed the plains to drive the Indian and buffalo from their native haunts, suffered during the long hard winter of early days, and watched the grass hoppers ea' everything they had but their children, livestock and sod house. Yet they bore all this without getting discouraged, and have been rewarded by knowing that they did their part In making the wilderness blossom like the rose, and have shared in the joy of seeing Republic county grow Into one of the wealthiest and test counties in the state. In the summer of 1882 they moved to Re public, where they have since resided.

Hines, former director general of railroads under government administration, testifying before the interstate commerce commission, told the commission that, in his opinion, .the railroads should spend a billion dollars a year for five years to en able them to keep pace with the busi ness progress of the county. Were the roads to carry out the program out lined by Mr. Hines they would start the greatest substantial boom this country ever saw. The Santa Fe is doing its part along the lines Indi cated by the witness. It has begun the building of more than 100 miles of track in territory hitherto unoccu pied and will 'erect many new build ings at points where they are needed. The proposed merger of the rail and miner unions Hhould cause those engaged in a drive against unionism to do some serious thinking. If the unions are nagged beyond endurance, and for self-protection are forced to consolidate, there will be a power in this country that can paralyze the na tion overnight. Sioux City Tribune. But suppose this power should de cide to "paralyze the nation over night," who would be the greatest sufferers? Would it not be the par alyzers and their families? The em ployers also can play the paralyzing game, as they have proven in a small way on previous occasions. It was a threat to paralyzo the transportation business that led a weak-kneed con gress to pass the damson law. That action laid the foundation for the bulk of subsequent industrial disturbance. If congress had refused tO surrender the country might have been saved many vexations. THE HON US OVTUMDK There are many indications that tlio soldier bonus legislation will oe nacted this in spite of the solemn warning of the secretary of the treas ury pointing out the disaster to na tional finance and personal stabilily which is likely to follow. Soldiers' bonus legislation has been endorsed In principle by President Harding, by a large group of United States senators and representatives, by a majority of the 4,000,000 Ameri can World war veterans, by, innum erable civilian organizations, and, probably by a majority of American citizens. j Secretary Mellon is being plated in .the light of an opponent of the meas are. altho. his position seems to be merely that the government cannot pay a bonus calling for $1, 000,000,000 within two years out of any funds now In hand and is in no position to get new funds. It Is being pointed out by friends of the measure, that the government finds the money for anything else it wants to do, even the feeding of Eu rope. While the bonus proposal appears to be generally endorsed by the public the press is by no means -unanimous In Its support. The Philadelphia Pub lic Ledger says: ITvf pvhniltf would like the Koldim-K to have a bonus if there were a stir- plus. The jihlebodied ones, however, re mostly young enough to wait a few years, while the condition of the country v ill not wait. Which would a. healthy ex-soldier rather have: a few dollars and no job or a regular job at good wages? By taking this hean of money out of the pockets of the people at this particular time he wnxiid prevent the reduction of tax ation, and therefore prevent the ex pansion of business: and without the expansion of business unemployment will increase. Hard times hit the poor as well as the rich. The bonus proposal, in whatever form it is made, comes at a time when there is no j:fH'ey and when the government has hoav- dobts to meet, and that is a sit UR'ii'ti that calls not for lighter but for heavier taxation. As to the bonus, the president in- lsts that it shall carry its own financ ing scheme. He has expressed no ob jection to the sales tax method of rais- j fug; the necessary money, but prob-1 ably holds to the belief that when the senate finance committee gets right down to the Job of providing for the payment of the bonus It will find it self up against a pretty hard proposi tion. By that time the attention of the reople of the country will be fo cused upon the fact that they will be expected to go into their pockets and prodi-oe at least $3,000,000,000, which would mean something like $30 a piece for each man, woman and child in the country. This, on top of all other taxation, comments the New Tork Commercial, would be a serious proposition, for few of the women, and none of the children would pay their share, and a great many men would also be elim inated as taxpayers. Hence it would fall heavily upon the business inter ests of the country.

ABRAHAM riXCOLX. So much has been said of,Abraham Lincoln that it seems crowding the columns to print anything more. Yet the compliment of a paragraph voic ing a thought of him is not out of place. Sunday, February 12, will mark 113' years since Lincoln's birth. In the fifty-seven years since his death a generation has come and gone to whom he? was but a name. Today the small boy is told of him in hia first months at school. He reads of him. in his first reader. He coiru?s to link him with the heroes of his boyhood and think of him as one apart. But there has been no one who was more thoro ly human than Abraham Lincoln. There are in th'.s country today mil lions who lived wKen he was working, out his visions of what he wanted the world to be. The man whose sim plicity was so great as to become grandeur was r-ared in a school of hardship, privation and toil. In the. receptive years of his childhood his mother so directed and moulded his mind and tastes that her impress never left him and in his manhocd her influence guided and sustained him. Plain, straightforward, with a di rectness born oS intense purpose, Lin coln could not be other than-he was. His speeches and writings are simple and understandable, and well illus trate his homely nobility. The Lin coln of half a century ago belonged to the United States. The Lincoln of to day belongs to the world. From his birth in the log cabin to his death as president is a leng stretch, but it well illustrates the power of the mam He was a real representative of"Trie democracy of America, and as such will be known to history. The following story of Lincoln's start on the road to the presidency is told in Leslie's Weekly: Once there was a mid-western "circuit-riding" lawyer who resolved to provide tor his eld-est son something that circumstances had denied the fa ther. It was a good school and col lege education. At 1 6 the boy was sent to a school in the east for prepa ration to enter Harvard. That was in 1853. Early in the following year the fa ther greatly desired to visit the boy. But he hesitated on account of the expense of the trip, for the father's means were not large. Then there came to the country lawyer an offer of a fee of $200 to make one speech in a iyceum course conducted by a Brooklyn. N. Y.. church. He readily accepted, for it meant full expenses for the visit to the son at school. On second thought the lyceum managers decided that the country lawyer out of the west wouldn't draw sufficiently in the blase city of the east to make the venture a safe one for them. A political club in New York City took over the contract. The speech was staged at Cooper Lmon. It attracted national atten tion and proved to be a great political and historical event. It caused the country lawyer to be asked to speak at other places on the way to and from the school in New Hampshire, where he visited his son. And thus crystallized a movement which car ried the country lawyer to the White House to serve as president during the most critical era in the country's history. The laWyer was Abraham Lincoln. T he son, Robert Todd Lincoln, is 4aid to be the last survivor in the male line of the family from which Abraham Lincoln sprang. One by one. the various methods for raising money for the soldier bonus are being cast aside by the sub committee of the house ways and' means committee which has the mat ter under consideration. It looks as tho congress may yet be forced to ac cept the sales tax or resort to an issue of bonds. The proposed tax on bank checks has gone by the board ;xalso the suggested increase in letter post age. The Springfield Republican is led to remark that "the good old par lor game bf find the thimble is noth ing compared with congress' new diversion of finding the money for the soldiers' bonus." Senator Moses points out that the 'farm bloc" in the senate is composed of 20 lawyers, one editor and a well digger. But if that is the sort of bloc that suits the farmers, of what concern is it to Senator Moses? The senator himself belongs to the manu facturers Jbloe, altho not himself a manufacturer. The right of a senator to choose the interest that he desires to serve, or seem to serve, is not de nied him by the constitution. If Sen ator Moses had been elected by an agricultural constituency possibly he would have been a member of the farm bloc. The framers of the fed eral constitution had-it in mind that tho senators should represent the in terests, w'lile the house should repre sent the masses. As a rule" the sen ators continue to carry out this idea rejrurdiess of the effort to alter that tei dency thru making their election suoject to a popular vote. TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL Information Bureau FREDERIC 3. HASKJN', Director, Washington, D. C. THE YACHT OF THE PRESIDENTS Washington, D. O, Feb. 9. The president's yacht is one of the most attractive of his possessions, yet very little has been written about it. The president's pets, his hobbies, his daily program, his home, and taste in dress are familiar topics to the people of the United States. The Mayflower is known simply as the presidential yacht, tho because ot its history and its associate- with four presidents it is one of the most interesting ships in the navy. The U. S. S. Mayflower is a yacht of which any potentate of Europe might be proud. Altho it is a quarter of a century old it is still known as one of the largest yachts afloat, and while it is no longer a strictly modern vessel of its type, its beautiful furnish ings and appointments and its picked crew make it a comfortable little pal ate. The ship's rooms are mainly done in blue and green now Mrs. Harding's selections. In December, just after Mr. Harding's election, the Mayflower caught fire and was seriously dam aged. Mr. Wilson was not using the yacht and, as it is called for very little during the winter anyway, the ques tion of redecorating the rooms was left to the ineoming president and his wife. Mrs. Harding planned a new color scheme for the ship. Before, rose had been the favored color for the bedrooms- and salons. Mrs. Harding had the bedrooms done in a soft shade of blue. With blue silk covers on the polished wood of the beds, and with pink roses on the chests and dressing tables, the staterooms of the yacht are one of the most generally admired feature's of the ship when it is shown to guests. The music room chairs and sofas are covered with effective cretonne in black with a pattern of marine ani mals and plants "in bright colors. The prevailing color here and in the white paneled dining room is green. Marble Baths Aboard Ship. The baths of the Mayflower are of solid marble, very luxurious in ap pearance, but according to one offi cer, a trifle chilly. There is a story that one of the Roosevelt" boys once brought his pet alligator aboard the Mavflower on a family cruise, and de posited it in one of these marble tubs. By accident the water run into the tub was too hot even for a tropical reptile and the alligator was discovered later in a parboiled condition, to the great sorrow of the boys. Fireplaces in which wood or coal may be burned are an unusual feature boasted by the presidential yacht. It is a roomy, comfortable ship, with cosy corners where tete-a-tetes of importance to the nation's destiny are rumored to have taken place at various times. One little nook between two passage wavs has been outfitted as a study. A desk and a glass case filled with reference books makes it possible for the president to work aboard ship if he wishes to do so. The study is not used to any great extent, however. When the president travels on busi ness or when affairs of state are pressing he rarely orders out the of ficial vaeht. Presidential cruises on the Mayflower are mainly guest parties and short pleasure trips Weekend sails to Newport News, Long Island, or on the Potomac. At such times, the weary executive may sign a few papers or dictate important let ters, b"ut he tries to rest. Tea at Sea. Mrs. Harding entertained frequently aboard the Mayflower in the after noons .last summer. At such times the yacht is a festive place. Prompt ly at the hour set Mrs. Harding comes aboard with a group of representa tives of the official family. Mrs. Coolidge is there, perhaps several cab inet ladies, a sprinkling of senator's wives, and Miss Harlan, secretary to Mrs. Harding;. I After informal greetings' to the guests of the afternoon, Mrs. Harding may pose for the camera men. Then she gives orders and the yacht sails out of the navy yard for an hour or two down the river. The Mayflower orchestra plays 1n a corner of the deck, and' the guests dance with the ship's officers, or sit about in groups. If they have never been aboard, officers show them the interesting parts of the ship. Mrs.. Harding moves about among her guests, talking with the different groups. Later, she leads the way to the dining room for rta. Filipino boys, mess attendants of the Mayflower, move about swiftly serving tea, sand wiches, and cake to the guests who sit or stand around the room. There are about twelve of these mess attendants. The Mayflower, being a naval ves sel, requires a much larger crew than would a privately-owned yacht. The owner of a pleasure boat may dis charge most, of the crew when the ship is not in use and hire men again when they are needed. The May flower has a crew of 160 which is kept at all times and is governed in every detail by naval regulations. Serving in the president's yacht is an honor prized by some navy men. Others find it monotonous to be sta tioned in Washington practically all the time. They prefer a battleship in foreign waters to the domesticated Mayflower. In 1904, It Is true, the Mayflower went with a Equadron of the Atlantic fleet trj Europe. But for the most part it rarely 'goes farther from its base than the West Indies. Tradition and business make most chief execu tives stay at home. Has Interesting History. Before it was detailed to" serve the president, the Mayflower had an ad venturous history. It was built in Glasgow in 1896 for Ogden Goelet, New York millionaire. Mr. Goelet spent $1,250,000 on his yacht, and it was pronounced a masterpiece of lux-, ury and elegance. It was reported, as a suggestion of the elaborate de tail ot the fittings, that oriental rugs were used for the floors, and that Mrs. Goelet's suite of rooms had five different kinds of bath tubs. The Mayflower sailed proudly off on her maiden voyage, but it came back sadly, for the owner was stricken and died while cruising in the Mediter ranean. Then, when the war with Spain broke out, the government bought the Mayflower at a bargain, paying but $500,000 for it. and turned it into an armed scout ship. The Mayflower followed an adventurous career in the Spanish war and then lay idle. But the need for a presidential yacht was being agitated. While the presi dent could always have a naval ves sel in which to travel, still it was argued that there should be a ship of sufficient size and elegance ready for the executive's use. So the Mayflower was renovated again, stripped of her gray war paint. and refinished inside. In twe years of war duty the mahogany fittings and the wall surfaces had been badly dam aged. In the summer of 1902 the yacht steamed into Oyster Bay, where President Roosevelt was stay ing, and entered upon its present work of serving the presidents. Helen Hunter's Husband BY JANE PHELPS HELEN ENTERTAINS Chapter 18. The dull gray haze of domestic an noyances interfered with Jack Hun ter's work. Try as he would he could not put them entirely from his mind. It is an extraordinary fact that one can weather all sorts of emotional do mestic storms if one is ballasted by a little cash a nest egg, a preparation for a rainy day. Denied that, the pin pricks of home expenses hold the mind engrossed, preventing further earning. Wo new prospects appeared, and ow- int, to the evening spent at the Lay ton's his work as accountant was not ready for delivery. .He was in any thing but a happy frame of mind as the day of the party Helen was to give drew near. He had begged her to "go slow" with the refreshments, but by the set of her lips, her determined eyes, he knew his warning futile. She would be sure to want to outshine the Lay ton's, and he groaned audibly as he thought of the cost. r "Oh, everything has gone off jut lovely!" she told him on "the night of the party. He had. come home early as he had promised. "Now you get your old accounts put out of sight, then ,;et ready. We'll just have a snack on the kitchen table. Supper will be served at 11, so we won't need much. "You must tell me what to do to help you, I'm not much of a waiter," Jack returned. He was in for it, and might as well make up his mind to make the best of it. "Oh, I have two girls coming to serve. Girls from a tea room. Na talie always has them when she has the club. They serve very nicely." "How much?" Jack; asked laconi cally. "Only $2 apiece and, of course, their supper. Dirt cheap I call it, and they give tone to an affair. What are you looking so serious about? Surely you don't think they charge too much?" "No, not from their point of view, but I wish you had let me help you, and not hired them. Everyone knows we do not keep a servant, and friends would have enjoyed it just as much if we had made the whole affair very informal. Then, too, we would have saved $1 and two suppers." "How dreadfully stingy you are! Poor mother never begrudged a din ner or supper to anyone, and she al ways hired extra, help when she gave me a birthday party. Pity you can't do as much for me as she did, and you a man!" That had been her constant cry because he was a man he should do much more for her. "I'm not sting, Helen, but only care ful. I often wonder what would be come of you if I should pass out; or worse still be ill for a long time! What would you do?" "You only say such things to hurt me. You know how I love you, and Lthat I couldn't live if anything hap pened to you!" As was her way Helen punctuated her remarks with kisses. "I'm ready! You are sure there is nothing I can do?" Jack had returned her kisses, -but without fervor. "No, unless you want to raise the windows a little and air the rooms; they seem close and hot." "You're excited! The rooms aren't hot," Jack remarked as he did as he was asked. "Why shouldn't I be excited? We've been married over a year and have done hardly a bit of entertaining. If things don't go right tonight I shall be heartbroken. For heaven's sake, don't look so serious. Jack! Even if you are selfish, and begrudge me my party, you might be game enough to keep it to yourself. You look as if you were at a funeral." "AH right, dear, "I'll perk u5," and Jack determinedly put from his mind all thought of expense, of debt, of worry. Tomorrow would come soon enough, and Helen's party must not be spoiled for her even if he did disap prove, and could not understand her extravagance. The guests came on time, and the evening began auspiciously. They played cards, they danced, then sup per was served. They would dance again afterward as they had at Mrs. Layton's. Prepared as he had been in a way, Jack Hunter was absolutely nonpluss ed by the supper Helen served. It was far more elaborate than Mrs. Layton's had been, and more expensive. Aside from the salads, colds meats and other tempting dishes that form the sub stantial part of such repasts, Helen had provided all sorts of side dishes olives, celery, salted nuts, rich chocolates, and for desert fancy ices and cakes, then coffee. Jack could not eat for computing the cost; altho he heard fulsome com pliments from all sides, backed up by undoubted appreciation of the food, if its disappearanoe was a criterion.

'Lost and Found. Nuthing. Evening Story Great Expectations. BY MARTHA M'C. WILLIAMS. All the west was a cqlor-riot masses of flame, and crimson, and purple pennons of burnished gold streamed almost to the zenith, chang ing shape momentarily as ruffling TOinrtn tossed them about. Rain had fallen a mile southerly the smell of it came fresh and sweet across tne sweet-briar hedge. Mrrna rejoiced in the wind's touch it hroueht something of coolness to hen flushed face, her aching head. Tf onlv she could lie prone on the deep grass and let it lull her to sleep! But that was out of the question. tn twenty minutes at the outside she must be tack, the center and pivot of hurlv-buriv. She was glad of the train blockade that had made the house party late in arriving. They were due around 5 o'clock--so she had two hours more for the press of work, and now JJiis blessed interval of sheer idleness. &ne Triad not dared hope for it as she hustled up her masses of bright hair with no more than a glance in tne mirror. Aunt Jane had done her work thoroly In making her niece free of such sins as vanity ana seit-conse quence. She had impressed upon her all the five years since she came to live at Lone Elm ner supreme unim portance in the scheme of things, also how imperative it was that she should rejoice to serve as foil for Jean, her brilliant and Deautiiui cousin jvior- na had no blood claim upon Mrs. Bur ton she was niece to her first hus band, poor young Stanley, who had died when Jean was a baby. Money had come with the Burton nam by way of a stern and tyrannical coal magnate, who in place of dying in a year-or so, as nis new wire ana his doctor reasonably expected, lived on and on, prisoner to a wheel chair. clutching his money bags with a miser grip a matter of fifteen years. He accounted logically for much that was unpleasant in his wife. Hope deferred makes the temper sick no lesa than the heart. Freedom came near to going to her head. Luckily Miss Jean had a stronger will and way, so kept her mother off the rocks ot a third and impossible marriage. In reward the mother was per mitted, indeed all but forced, to take her ease, revel in luxury and the sweetness of doing nothing, also in the consequence of possessing great riches. For it Could be said of the late unlamented Burton: "Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it." All his wealth came to his wife in fee. "To give her a whip-hand over that minx, her daughter," lie had explained to his lawyer. The money had been put into a flexible sort of trust all the income could De spent and so much of the principal as his legal advisers thought- need' ful. Mrs. Burton could will the for tune exactly as Ehe chose failing to will it. it reverted to, charity. Jean laughed her 'airiest over that provision. "As if I'd let such-a thing happen," she said impertinently to her mother. "I've made you do a I pleased almost ever since I was born how else did you scrape for the money I needed with Old King Coal? No: I don't want a settlement now. It makes the men so much nicer to both of us to feel they have two to please if. they get anything. Then nobody can say when my true love comes he's marrying me for my mon ey. ''Suppose he does not come?" Aunt Jane had protested, half angrily. Jean had looked at her as tho doubting her sanity. "You re a nice one -to overlook the pull of great expecta tions," she laughed. A friendly pair. Jane and Jean. They remained so notwithstanding Janes lapse into sentimentality. Al beit they nearly quarreled over this handsome, titled fortune hunter, after it, they ran in couple beautifully, hunting each in her own line, yet with due regard to the other s inclinations. Some daring spirits tried to veer from mother to daughter, and vice versa. These afforded sport to the pair of charmers m their moments of conf dence. Morna they minded no more than a chair or a dressing table. the girl who Q.:ivered spiritually like a hound in i3-ish, wondered 'f ever there would rise a day that would see her recognized as human. Hope of such a thing had grown fairt and dim. Nobody was over-rude to her, but there was Insult i;i the easy ignoring of her on every hand She was simply part of th; back ground, for her kinfolk, spending tier hot youth in their service for bread and a loof. If there is patience fate may shuffle the cards. Morna was to prove it. As she stood facing the sort-scented wind a voice behind her said deferentially: "Will you kindly make it possible for me to speak privately with Mrs. Bur ton? It is rather important and I am pressed for time." Turning. Morna faced a tall man lean and sunburned, with merry ex perienced eyes, and a look of poise that was compelling. After a mur mured sentence she Ted him to the small snuggery off the library, where very shortly Mrs. Burton confronted him. majestic in costly simplicity, de spite her wondering eyes. The wonder changed to dismay as she listened to the strangers story. He was Edward Burton, grandson and namesake of her husband, who had died knowing not of hi existence. Proof was incontestable birth, mar riage and death certificates also f copy of the will, wh-ea said: "In de fault of heirs of my two blood I con stitute my wife, Jane, sole heir to all of which I die seized and possessed." Also a legal opinion of highest au thority that a will so manifestly made in ignorance was void. Midway of that Edwaid Burton looked up to say-: "That seems to rue unfair. I nrr, not exactly a pauper, my coming is more to claim my pedigree than my inheri tance. There are things I should like to have, my father told me of them out in the bush. He went to Austra lia, you know, after a quarrel with his father. I was born there, but dad never let me forget. Can't we agree not to tight over anything? There must be quite a plenty for both of us." "I am sure there is." Aunt Jane said heartily, her mind leaping ahead to Jean.' Here was the proper mate for her girl it would fit so well all around. Nobody could twit her longer with being an interloper if her grand children were likewise of her ord hus band's blood. So she was graciousness itself to the newcomer; made him the lion of the house party, herself telling his story to all the other guests. It w.is a fairy tale come true, she said; Ehe knew how her husband had longed for a grandson to keep up the nan e. So Edward's health was drank in bumpers over and over. Jean ogled him openly, to the searing grief of Tommy Sexton, the newest of her detriments. But before she went up stairs Tommy had five minutes alone with her. She ran away from him almost blushing, but Tommy, like a kwarrior triumphant, went away kiss ing A I lit 1 f -i V Edward was -inscrutable. Aunt Jane herself said so. Jean, it was plain, fascinated, also puzzled him. At least her mother thought so. If Jean her self was wiser she kept the wisdom close. Unaccountably she bgan to put Morna a little forward; made, her take pains with her hair, her dress; even sing she had a bird s voice; when there were no critics within hearing. Morna. undeniably puzzled, was yet blissfully happy. She felt really alive for the first tim-i since sue had come to Lone Elm. What had revived her did not matter; she would joy in therght while the sun shone. Then came the explosion. Jean married her Tommy out of hand and marched up to Edward, asking: "What are you and Mammy Jane go ing to oo about it "Give and ask a blessing," Edward laughed. "You see, we need it Mor na and my humble self for we shall follow "your tine example within a month." (.Copyright, 1922. by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Dorothy Dix Talks BY DOROTHY DIX WhWi Hlshea Fata Wwnaa IMkt, The Male Flirt 2. Between the soup and the fish he confides in you that you are the ideal for whom he has been searching thru all these weary years, and before you get to the entrees you are assured that you have inspired a deathless passion. This is too sudden. Still, there are women vain enough to believe any thing. The man who tells you that he has never loved before is rather dying out, and now he tells that fairy tale only to debutantes. He is aware that older women know better, and besides, few women care for amateur love-making anyway. Then there is the masculine flirt whose strong suit is his sins.' He talks darkly and romantically of a 'desperate past. He never had a mother or sis. ter. but if he only had your angel in. fluence he feels that he could lead the higher life. Heaven alone knows why, but the idea of making a reformatory of her self is irresistibly alluring to a woman and this kind of man is fatally fasci nating to pious girls. They send him good books, and embroider texts for his room, and sometimes it hurts their innocent little heart when they find -out that forty-seven other girls are also acting as mother confessor to Mm. The cleverest masculine flirt is the Platonic flirt. He is an artist where other men are bunglers. After having virtually served notice on you that his attentions are without intention, it leaves him free to be as sentimental as he pleases, and he generally pushes hia privileges. He talks of souls instead of hearts, but it comes to the same thing. He tells you that he relies on your judg ment and is guided by your intelli gence, and-that you alone comprehend his aspirations and ambitions. Noth ing flatters a woman like being thought capable of an exalted friend ship, but if she is wise she passes up tne Platonic brand. The married flirt always has a se cret sorrow that he confides to you the second time you meet him. His wife never understands him. She is a chill and prosaic creature, while he is all soul, and then he looks tenderly into your eyes and says dreamily. "What a heaven life would have been if I had only met you in time!" The married flirt is only dangerous to young and sympathetic girls. The woman of experience has met him and heard the tale before. And so the merry little game of flir tation goes gayly on. Sometimes peo ple are hurt? Oh, perhaps. Not often. There's nothing else quite so elastic as tne Human neart.

(Copyright, 1U22, by iklgar A. Guest.) ON SECOND THOUGHT BY JAY E. HOUSE (From Philadelphia Public Ledger.) Side Talks on Great Issues The Poor Farmer. As one who formerly wrested an in consequential living from the soil, we feel entirely competent to discuss the woes of the poor farmer and assume the liberty of so doing. We expect to be" skinned alive for doing it, but somebody ought to say it, and since those to whom the farmer naturally looks for authorization and guidance are all working the other side of the street, the column offers itself as the sacrificial neck and bends to the block. As a preliminary, we formulate these propositions: The carefully built-up propaganda to the effect that the farmer trembles on the verge of bankruptcy and is face to face with wanOandwoe is fic tion, i The farmers have their troubles, but so has everybody else. The tears that are being shed for the farmer, in Washington and else where, are glycerin tears. They are exuded by gentlemen who have glycerin to sell. The remedies proposed are "dope." They have no medicinal value whatso ever and are designed to lull the poor iarmer to sleep for the next two or three years. From the standpoint of those who are engeged in writing it, the prescrip tion has two values. One is that of lulliivf.the farmer to rest. The other is that of tying the farmer vote ir revocably to the attending physicians. All of the physicians want to stay in Washington some of them want to run for president. For the purposes of this screed. farmers may be divided into two classes: Those who cluifg to conserva tive methods and those who plunged at the top of the market. The latter class is pretty well wined out. It is in condition precisely simi lar to the srock gambler who plunges at tne top ot tne market. No act of legislation can restore the paper profits of this class or satisfy its creditors. And there is no reason for an attempt to do so by legislative enactment. When the owner of a grocery store. a coal yard, an industrial plant or a naoeraasnery rails in business con gress isf.not asked or expected to pass legislation designed to recoup his losses. The conservative farmer is suffering from two ailments. Deflation the re standardizing of farm values has wiped out his paper profits. Deflation always begins at the root of production it hits the farmer first. Kis overhead still is too high. He has not been able to reduce the cost of production to a point at which it meets the prices at which he sells his stuff. In other words, while the wages of his help and the costs of his machin ery, tools, clothing and food are drop ping, they have not reached the pre war level. His own products have sagged back to about where they were in 1914. A good deal of the livestock which the farmer bought at the top notch of boom prices is now being marketed at the 1914 level. The $100-an-acre land which he purchased for $300 an acre during the real estate drunk or on which he placed a valuation of $300 at that time isn't paying interest on $300 and it never will. We go so far as to say that no act of congress can change any or tnese things. The land "drunk" in which the farmer engaged around 1918 and 1919 is responsible for much of his trouble. The most serious drunk in which a community or a nation may engage Is the emotional drunk. But the land drunk is more serious and more to be dreaded than the one induced by in toxicating liquor. As a general farming proposition, there is very little land in this country which will bring satisfactory returns on an investment of more than $150 an acre. There may be, here and there, a little $200 land, but it is very scarce. A good deal of the land dedicated to general farming purposes won't yield adequate returns on a valuation of $100 an acre. There is an Immense acreage regularly farmed which wouel be dear at $50 an acre. The intensive farmer who devotes himself to crop specialties is the only man who can show a return on land valued at $300 or more. And his acreage must, on necessity, be small. The country went on a "land" drunk. Hundreds of thousands of acres of farm lands changed hands at from $250 to $400 an acre. Some of it sold for $500. j Most of those who purchased dur tlusick Cash 15 For a Splendid New ELBURN or $25 A Safe Tested Piano-vFulIy The Finest Value in the Piano World Today Call or Write Today 833 Kansas Arc Phone 4208. s "The House That (Guarantees All It"s I'lanoV' ing the "drunk" are mortgaged up to the handle. The banks carrying them. The qnasi-owners will lose their land and ,knf pYoeesa. They plunged St the peak ot the market and lost. We doubt tl?at congress can do any thing about it, or that it should be ex pected to do anything. We happen to know of an instanca in point which is sufficiently illumi native to disclose the entire situation. The instance in point is the tragedy of a former governor of a certain western state a loud, raucous-voiced professional friend of the people. 4 He was considered a shrewd busi ness man of unusual perspicuity' of large means and financially impreg nable. And he was when the esti- At the tor. of the farm boom fie plunged in lands and cattle, and kept on plunging. He strained his cred:t everywhere to play the game. He thought it was going on forever but it stopped. A cashier whV5 said his tiank ha 1 charged off a loss of $50,000 told Vis last fall that the wreck might yield 20 per cent of its indebtedness. The former governor is out sellir.? glycerin. He wants to be elected governor again in order, presumably, that he may help the farmer. A little more than a year ago we talked to the president of a little bank in a small middle-western town. We knew him very well, and we knew most of his customers. 'The trouble is," he said, "thnt they won't sell on a falling market and we can't carry them any longer. You know them all they're perfectly good. But they won't take their losses: they're holding on in the hope that prices may take a turn upward. "Meanwhile, they want to renew their paper. Under ordinary circum stances we'd be glad to accommodate them. But this bank must have soiu money with which to' do business. It can't get it until somebody sells some thing." The farmer has his troubles. He isn't worth as much as he thought he was. But he still is very cumfort-, able. He has plenty to eat, plenty to' wear and gas sufficient for his car. The motion-picture theaters --in his market town still are doing a good business. Meanwhile, certain gentlemen in Washington are writing prescriptions, and the prescription; call for "dope." Practically every physician in at tendance is a panacea-chaser. Go back into his history and you will find that he has indorsed every "cure-all" per petrated in the name of politics in the twenty years last past. You will Be unable to find that his name has ever been prominently associated with any constructive measure of importance. He is a pill-peddler, a glycerin ven der. He wants to stay in Washington. More than likely he wants to run for president. Questions Answers Q. What was the I ml inn piipn'niinn .f North America when Columbus uis-overel it? A.. R. V. A.

WHAT BILL PROVIDES Here are figures showing at a glance what the former service man would get for varying periods under the proposed soldier bonus act. The figures show what he would get on the cash basis or un der the four options, which include insurance, vocational training, farm or home aid and land settlement. Most an overseas soldier could Eet Cash, $353.25; other options, 1,342.25. Most: a home service soldier could get Cash, $755; other op tions, $1,057. A soldier -who served one full yar oversea would get Cash, $39$. 25; other options. $554.74. A soldier who served one full year at home could get Cash, $305; other options. $427. A soldier who served six months overseas would pt Cash, $175; other options, $245. A soldier who served six montks at home would gH Cash, $123; other options, $178.20. Washington. Feb. 1 1. To tho "Tank" who got into the war' early and stayed late the soldier bonus Mil, which now seems certain to pass the senate speedily, would mean a sum sufficient to set him up in business in a small way and to secure his fu ture independence if the invests it ju diciously. If he served overseas the full period of war he could draw a maximum. In cash, of $958.25. If he served at home he could draw a maximum of $755. This is figured on the full period from April 6, 1'J17, to June 30, 1919, in clusive, the. maximum period for which a soldier will be able to draw adjusted compensation if the bill is passed. If he served overseas be would get $1.25 a day less the $60 bonus already paid, and if he served at home he would $1 a day less the same 60. But there are features to the pro posed bill by which he could draw nearly half as much more if he doesn"t take it in cash. He could even get this additional amount in cash if he uses it to pay his way thru school Five different plans of compensa tion are provided. The four, in addi tion to the cash plan, are the "ad justed service certificate" or paid-up endowment insurance plan; the "vo cational training aid" plan, the "farm or home aid" pian and the "land sec-tleiA.-nt aid' plan. j Insurance Plan Explained. The "adjusted service certificate." or insurance plan, is in the nature of a twenty-year insurance policy. At the end of twenty years the veteran would receive in cash 140 per cent of what he would receive if he took a cash payment at once, plus -i-a per cent interest. That means if he served overseas the maximum period of the war hs would draw at the end of the twenty years $1,342.25 in cash, plus 4 per cent compounded semi-annually. If he pervert at home for the msii- "tThum period he would draw $1,057 plus the same interest. If he died before twenty years his estate would receive the full amount that would be due, ordinarily, at the end of twenty years. Tf he wished to borrow on this cer tificate he could get, in the hird year, 30 per cent of his adjusted serv ice pay at 4 V per cent interest. As t H -rfw..". "lt wstuirf be enabled to borrow continually in creasing1 amounts. Vocational Training Optional. Tf the veteran chose the vocational training plan he would also receive 140 per cent of what he would ordi narily receive in cash. He would re ceive this monthly at the rate of $1.75 a day for the period of training. As in the insurance plan this would mean the overseas man could receive a max imum of- $1,342.25 and the home serv ice man could get a maximum of $1, 057. The "farm or home aid plan' would j authorize the veteran to receive from the government the adjusted service pay plus an additional 40 per cent if he applied the money toward the pur chase of a farm or home. As in the insurance and the training plana the maximum amounts would be $1,342.23 and S1.U57 for the two classes of vet erans. The "land settlement aid" plan would give the veteran the preference riffht to take lands on the opening of to file on such lands as early as sixty days prior to their opening for gen eral public entry. In addition, under this plan, the veteran would be en titled to his adjusted compensation plus 4- per cent, but would have to apply it entirely in making payments 'in connection with the lands" on which he has made entry. Majority Not Get Maximum. Of course, the majority of former service men would not receive the maximum amount due for either home or overseas service. The latter group would include soldiers and sailors who were on- foreign service at the out break of the war. mostly regulars. The "full period" home service men would be very considerable and would include, in addition to the regular armv and naw men who were in the service at the time the war broke out, many national guardsmen who had not yet been mustered out after Mex ican border duty and many who "jumped into the game" when it seamed that war waa imminent. However, even the veteran who served only one year or six months would receive amounts of tidy pro portions. If he served one year overseas he could draw $335.25 cash, or $554.74 on any of the other fouc plans- If he served one year at horae he could draw $30 in cash or $427 on one of the oUier four plans. If he served six months overseas he could draw $173 cash or $245 on any of the other four plans. If he served six months at home he could draw $12S in cash or $178.20 on one of the other four plans.

Spoke From Own Office to Deal ers Convention. The announcement of the recent cut in prices in Fordson tractors was first made thru the radio-phone installation of Henry Ford at Dearborn, Mich. Henry Ford himself speaking to a group of Fordson dealers at Cleveland, O., made the first official announce ment of the reduction, by means of the wireless telephone. The Cleveland district dealers were assembled at an industrial show in that city. A radio-phone receiver was installed, and Ford, sitting in his office at Dearborn, Mich., made the follow ing address to them: Address by Kadio-phone. "It is certainly wonderful to sit here in my office and say a few words of greeting to you dealers of the Cleve land territory. The radio is an out standing -tribute to man's inventive genius. They say there is nothing new under the sun, but we are constantly inventing new things, every day bring ing some big improvements over the previous day's methods. "Manufacturing operations have un dergone some wonderful revolutionary changes during the past few years. We are all familiar with the big improve ments in transportation methods, but the oldest industry has been the most backward in the, acceptance or adop tion of the new and up-to-date' meth ods of doing things, and that is the farming industry. Being a farmer, I am vitally interested in all farm im provements, and with this in mind, i I have spent years of time and millions in money in the development of the Fordson tractor, which I really think is one of the biggest possible helps to profitable farming. Farmer Faces Big Task. "As a general thing, the farmers have bettered their financial condition during the past eighteen months, but the production, costs of farm products are still too cfose to selling prices to allow fair margins of profit. What the farmer must do to put his business on a paying basis is to lower the cost of pianting.cultivating, and harvesting of his crops. This alone will increase his profits, and with this thought in mind it has been our constant aim to lower the price of the Fordson so that every farmer in the land could afford to own one. It is a pleasure, there fore, to announce thru you Ford deal era that we have today decided that the tractor price should again be re duced, and in considering a reduction, naturally my thought has been to make it possible for the largest num ber of farmers to share in the benefits to be derived thru the use of our trac tor, and consequently effective tomor row, January 27, 1922, the new price of the Fordson tractor will be $335 f. o. b- Detroit. This is a cut of $230 off the present price, and while -in making this big reduction we have taken upon ourselves a gigantic task in the reduction of manufacturin g costs, still that task, in my opinion, is not larger than the farmer's prob lem of today, and I am glad to do my part in bringing about a period of in creased prosperity for the farmer. Tour part is to carry this message to the farmer, thereby enabling him to produce more with less cost and shorter hours. "I am glad to have had this oppor tunity of talking with you and you have my best wishes." HE BEATS HIS SHADOW Captain Cawkcr of Tot Fire 4epartnMnt Is Fastest Fireman in Captivity.

The blossoms of the Chicory are a very pretty pink or blue flower, some what like the dandelion, its petals somewhat looser. The Chicory is very common in New England, and is naturalized from Europe. It is the common adulterant of coffee. The plentiful rays of the flower make it almost' inevitable that it should have become the subject of a sun legend, and we find it in Rou mania, where Florilor, "the lady of the flowers" a name she enjoyed in virtue of her gentleness and surpass ing beauty attracted first the notice, then the admiration of the sun god, who discended. from the skies to make love to her.

Takes Steps to Preyent Disaster in Buildings. The Knickerbocker theater disaster in Washinaon, following the collapse of the partly constructed Masonic temple at Salina, Kan., several months ago, emphasizes the need for state licensing' of engineers, in the opinion of II. W. Watson, state highway engi neer. The Kansas Engineering- society and the Kansas division of the American Socfety of Civil Engineers will push a measure in the next legislature re quiring all engineers to pass an exam ination and obtain a license before practicing. Such a measure waa de feated at the 1921 sessions' "Very properly we require that a man prove his qualifications before he is allowed to pull a tootij or act as the family physician, but we are seem ingly willing. to entrust the Uvea of hundreds of people and valuable prop erty to the hands of so-called engi neers who may or may not be quali fied for the work," said "Watson. Due to Faulty Construction. "The reports of consulting engineers show conclusively that the collapse of the Knickerbocker theater and of the Masonic tempi frame work at Salina were due to faulty design and con struction. If the Salina temple had been completed, it would undoubtedly have collapsed sooner or later, per haps when crowded with people, caus ing a tragedy far worse than the one at Washington. As itt was. the property loss at Salina was estimated at $200,000. "Under present conditions any one may put out his shingle as an archi tect or as an engineer and the general public has no way of knowing whether hey are qualified or not. Bridges may betmilt only to fall with a little extra strain, or sewer systems may be constructed so faultily as to endanger the health, of the entire community. "There can be no valid objection to a licensing law since the fees would easily pay the expenses of the examin ing board." SEVEN SENTENCE SEBMONS.

Native-born Kansans now predom inate for th first time in the history of the stated The percentage of native-born inhabitants increased from 48. 7 in 1910 to 54. in 1920, according to figures received here -from the cen sus bureau at Washington. Of the 1.769,257 Inhabitants of Kan sas on January 1, 1920, 987, 83S, or 54.7 per cent, were natives of this state: 690.452, or 39 per cent, were natives of other states or of the out lying possessions; and 110,967, or 6.3 per cent, were born in foreign coun tries.

The percentage of Mis sourians in Kansas increased from 8.3 1910 to 8.9 in 1920. and of Okla- homans from 1.1 to 2. in the decade, while the representation of virtually all other states decreased. Only a trace of the old New Eng land stock, which came to Kansas in the days of squatter-snvereignty and played such a dramatic rofce in the struggle to mak.e this a free-state, now remains. Native New Englanders are so few that they are siny listed. with "other states" after the first eighteen. The percentage of native Americans in the total population of the state increased from 92 in 1910 to 93.7 In 1920 and the percentage of foreign bom decreased from 8 to 6.3. The percentage born in other states and the outlying possessions decreased from 43.3 to 39. The Kansas negro population of 60.351 is 55.2 per cent native-born.

14 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1922 In State Politics WILL IT GET OVER? Taxpayers' League Uprising a Mysterious Force Here. State Meeting xt Month in Topeka Has Strength. DEMOCRATS ALSO IN TROUBLE Henderson Martin and Leigh Hunt To Be Given Air. Hodges Followers Seem To Haie Gone to Martin. BY A. L. SHIXTZ. Something has gone wrong with the will of the pee-pul. 'The boys to home." as Ironjaw Brown puts it, aden't behaving just right. A strange note of -discord and discontent has come from the short grass country. I'le-king up a few stray germs of the strange malady some of the forward looking communities are beginning to cast alley apples in the direction of Republican leaders. Tt is a sort of wave of unrest one of many the state has known in gladsome years of free thought and action which promises no amusement for the gods and proph ets in high public position. It is ten long, lonesome, dreary and more or less meaningless years since the state has had an uprising, It is fifteen years since Kansas kicked off the bonds and shackles of the conven tion and everyone did his own free and independent guessing on everyone from road overseer to president. It is thirty years since the Farmers' Alli ance and the Pops took the state by storm. Those were great days in Kan sas. Now that the war is over and evcrvthing a fellow has to sell is back to pre-war rates, history is coming back. too. Cute, clever little idea this new hair raising bit of agitation that is putting tho state on edge. The Tax payers' league is the name of the little rnelodrammy" company. All of the plavers are registered in the big book tn the countv treasurer's office. The purpose of the barnstorming tour is to kick a whole flock of forward look ing people into the back alley. Ac cording to the lines ot the play the forward looking measures were deliv ered by the forward looking parties by delayed freight and under a high protective tariff with surcharges and other special charges payable largely in advance. Right ct this time- rehearsals are being held in some seventy-five coun ties for the first big opening of the attraction in Topeka March 9. That is the time when the state convention of the Taxpayers' league will revive pleasant memories of what happened in '92 anil several more recent occa sions. There will be 700 members of that cast. Some ot the big speaking rarts are going to league actors in Douglas, Wyandotte, Franklin, Lyon, Harvey, Reno. Sedgwick, Clay and similar counties. Tho'-. were th choice places trom which tho voice of the people came during the Stubbs regime. Those were some of the early seats of upris ing wirni the Farmers' Alliance and Populists started. There was where the Bft.s Kusler move first took root. Home of these counties were singing "We want Teddy" long after the 1916 convention adjourned and Hughes had journeyed out to enthuse the west. They have been marching single file and six abreast for reform for forty years. Democrats Are With Vs, Also. Then there are the Democrats. Their joy over the chafirin and embarrass ment of the Republicans is not the finished product as genuine Joy is com monly known and accepted. It so hap pens that the Democrats have some trouble of their own this year. Ry a sort of common consent it looks as tho almost everyone who had a half suspicion that he might sneak into the governorship race when the side curtains were down, has aban doned the idea. This particular deci sion seems to have been reached in a fine patriotic party desire to give Hen derson Martin and Lcigl Hunt as much air and space as possible and see who would live longest out of water. .Just at this moment it would seem as tho Martin and Hunt will have the whole ring when the Democrats hold their state convention and discuss the gubernatorial situation. At this time there is quite a bit of feeling in the matter. Martin's fol lowers have rounded up the old Hodges faction and have made quite a showing. The other night Grant Harrington, former private secretary to Governor Hodges, induced Martin to come into Wyandotte, the home county of Hunt. Since that time Bour bon factional relations are not a smooth and serene as they might be. There is a rather lurking suspicion that the Sam Aniidon and W. H. Thompson crowd will likely lift "a few nuts and boits from the Martin machine in an effort to balance books for similar favors extended Thomp son by the Hodges faction some years ago. Quite in line with the same plan of operation J. U. Billard. former, mayor of Topeka, has some old books regarding Hodges' interference in the mayoralty matter while Hodges was governor and Martin was chairman of his public utilities commission. This man Hunt is a new party in state politics. But he is picking up a considerable amount of moral sup port. Kansas Day troubles offered nothing more Interesting than the sit uation which will confront tho 1.100 delegates to the Democrat state con vent'on February 21-22.
