Considerable In-' terest has been aroused by Viscount Grey's allusion. In his address at -Bradford last night, to France having been let down "by her allies since the world war. Viscount Grey was Brit ish foreign secretary at the outbreak of the war. retiring soon after the formation of the Lloyd George min istry in 1916. "Before we criticize France's ac tion." he said, "let us realize the facts. When peace was concluded France 1 had two agreements, one with Great 1 Britain and one With the United States, that she would have the full support of Britain and America, if at tacked in the future by Germany. "These were not Included in the treaty of Versailles, but they were as much a part of the peace as was the treaty of Versailles. They made an enormous difference to France. They are gone. I admit it was not the fau't of Lloyd George's government that they went, but it does not make it rny better for France, whose fault it was. "The great deal of trouble there has been with France since has been due to the fact that the whole peace must have worn a different aspect In her eyes, when these two great safeguards where on she must have so greatly re lied, disappeared. If these agree ments still existed they would secure France now and for a deceftniura hence." FOBECAST FOB KANSAS. Fair tonight and Thursday.

All Mnst Co-operate. "Co-operation teaches us how men can put their business projects across in a big way, and yet live up to the Golden Rule," Talbot said.

Startup, 29, farmer living three-quarters of a mile south of Kingsville, was injured, perhaps fa tally, about 9 o'clock this morning when his automobile was struck by Union Pacific passenger train No. 106 at the Kingsville crossing, just north ot the depot. The train stopped and Startup was brought to Topeka, where he was taken in an ambulance to Stormont hospital. Startup sustained a com pound fracture of the left arm, a broken lower jaw, severe lacerations of the left arm and upper lip and the left side of his face was badly bruised and skinned. He was also bleeding at the nose and mouth when taken to the hospital. Physicians expressed some fear ot a fractured skull, but appeared optimistic concerning his re covery. Startup had been to Kingsville this morning and borrowed his uncle's Overland car, with the intention ot bringing some chickens to Topeka, it was said. He was returning home when the train struck his car at the crossing. Apparently his front wheels htd barely run upon the track when the crash occurred. Startup had been going south and the train was east bound. The automobile was tossed clear of the track on the north side, and totally, demolished. One of the tires, however, was thrown a distance of nearly 100 feet onto the Golden Belt road, which runs along the south side of the railroad right-of-way. Startup was married and has two children. His father. J. C. Startup, and three brothers live near Ross ville. Another brother, Walter, lives in eouioern Kansas. VICTIMS CRIED FOR MERCY Story of Widow in Double Murder Case Is Corroborated. New Brunswick, N. J., Oct. 25. The story of Mrs. Jane Gibson, mys terious woman eye witness of the murder of Doctor Edward W. Hall, rector of the Church of St. John, the Evangelist, and the choir singer, Mrs. James Mills, was corroborated today by Mrs. Martin Sulitz, wife of the caretaker of the Phillips farm, where the bodies were found September 16. Both witnesses fixed the time of the shooting at between 9:30 and 10 o'clock on the night of Thursday, September 14. xne stones tally as to the agon ized cries of one of the two women on the scene, who begged for mercy and uttered the name of a man as the shooting besan. The double stories told by these two women may force Deputy Attor ney General Wilbur A. Mott to make an early arrest of a man and a woman, both of whom have been pre viously mentioned in conneotion with the case. HODGINS FUNERAL FRIDAY Dr. A. E.

NEAR ATT'Y GENERAL'S HOME But Hopkins' Interest Is in In dustrial Centers. lIt Is Appalling," Says Miss Alice K. McFarland. Child labor conditions more deplor able than in any community in Kan sas have been uncovered by Miss Alice K. McFarland, head of the welfare division of the Industrial court. The new labor situation affecting large numhers of boys and girls is in the Finney county sugar beet district. The new child labor trouble discovered by Miss McFarland is in the home county of Richard J. Hopkins, attorney gen eral, and had apparently continued for several years without state atten tion. Efforts are now being made by Miss McFarland to work out a method of meeting the new trouble. Scares of I boys and girls between the ages of 6 nd 14 years are compelled to work in the sugar beet fields and many of them have never enjoyed sohool op- portunities. It seems that while the state officials were securing many columns of free newspaper space re garding their crusades in Topeka, Wichita, Kansas City and other towns that the sugar beet district was en tirely ignored.- The fact that the par- ticular community has for years been the home of the present attorney gen eral gave state house interest to Miss McFarlands rather startling revela tions. Easy to Violate Law. "It is appalling," Miss McFarland said today. "There are conditions out i in the Finney county sugar beet coun- try that we never dreamed of before. I met one man out there a Russian 1 who formerly worked in the Santa Fe shops in Topeka who had sent all of his five little boys and girls out I into the beet fields to work. It was a I common thing to see little tots with long, sharp knives cutting tops from I beets. It seems that every spirit of I the law is violated and it is not easy to get relief. "Why do you know that In one I school district alone 100 boys and girls had been taken away from their studies to work in the beet fields? j Conditions on the farms are much t worse than in the beet factory. It is not an unusual thing to see a 6, 7 or 8 I year old child put working in the fields. law Lax' on Farm. Tt isn't just an easy task that the children perform, either. In many cases they work from 6 o'clock or daylight in the morning until nearly dark with only a short stop for a bite of lunch at noon. Somehow it seems that the child labor act, which applies so strongly to industrial conditions, is a bit lax in the matter of child labor on the farm." J Now information is being gathered j which indicates that the child labor j situation has been a menace in the attorney general's home county for a number of years almost since estab- r.shment of the big Garden City re i finery. In spite of this situation it seems that Attorney General Hopkins has neither directed prosecutions cov ering the cases nor In any of hie j voluminous recommendations to the legislature asked for laws that would give him additional and more ade quate authority. iTOOK BODY FROM TRAIN CREW Chicago Liquor Runners Also Saved j Part of Wet Goods From Wreck. J Chicago, Oct. 25. Six alleged liquor runners, with the body of a confed erate killed by a train at Broadview, I 111., were sought by city and county I officials today. 1 The unidentified rum runner was driving a truck loaded with whisky towards Chicago when he was killed I by an Indiana Horbor belt line freight train at the Broadview crossing, t As the train crew stood around the body waiting for Joseph Huzzah, Broadview police chief, to arrive and take charge of the situation, six armed men dashed up in an automo bile. While two of them covered the j train crew with pistols the other four 1 picked up the body of their compan I ion, salvaged three kegs of liquor from the wreckage, and sped toward Chicago. I I Witnesses estimated the truck had 1 a cargo of twenty barrels of liquor. It also carried two. crates of live 1 chickens. BLIMP HAS NARROW ESCAPE Quick Action Saves C-14 From Fate of Her Sister, C-2. Newport News, Oct. 25. Destruc tion of the army dirigible C-14 was j prevented today in the opinion of of ficers at Langley field, by the pres- ence of mind of a member of the crew when a hole was torn in the blimp's gas bag as it was being taken from its hangar. When hydrogen began to hiss from the bag those nearby scurried for safety, except one man who pulled the rip cord releasing the gas. Officers who witnes-ed the accident said if this had not been done the dirigible probably would have met a fate simi'ar to that of ,its sister ship, j the C-2, at San Antonio recently. I WOMEN PLAN IN POLITICS. National Party to Demand Equal Rights Amendment to Constitution. t Washington. Oct. 25. The execu tive council of the National Wo ma as party met here today to consider sev eral questions regarded as vital to progress of women in politics and to lay plans for a national conference of the party's officers here Novem- ber 11. Among the subjects to be taken up was that of the immediate introduc tion in congress of a national equal rights amendment to the federal con stitution. Leaders in .the council also propose at the meeting to draft a "193 woman a charter of rights as supplemental to woman's charter of 1843." NOW IS THE TIME! While Topeka Is aglow with Im provement and construction work there Is one sadly needed betterment that must not be overlooked the new grandstand at the Free Fair grounds. For the last four or five years this improvement has been vitally Impor tant to the success of the exposition. Each year the fair's advisers and the city's bankers have pleaded for a post ponement. "It isn't time to build un til next year" has been the advice. The .1922 fair removed without a doubt all advisability of delay. The I loss of revenue thru the lack of grand stand accommodations was a blow to the fair management. In fact the loss of revenue due to the old stand In the last five years was enough to take care of high cots of construction and the Interest on the indebtedness. It must be remembered that the grandstand is practically the only revenue producer of the Free Fair. Everything else on the grounds is free to the public This means that de spite the Kansas crowds that flock to the grounds the fair can pay its way and enlarge only from the funds col lected at the grandstand gates. Take the 1922 fair as an example. Never were the grounds so crowded and jammed. Yet If this crowd was doubled there would be no additional revenue. i The grandstand plans call for the first unit of a re-enforced concrete structure. This cannot be financed and built next summer. It must be done NOW! Action must be taken at once. Topeka is getting her long wished for hotel. The theater is on the way. The Free Fair grandstand Is next. PROMOTION FOR STRICKLER, Former P. V.

J.O.MARSHALL IS KILLED BY A POSSE AT HOYT Was "Wanted for Murder of Two Farmers. Four Shots Fired When He Appeared on Street. ON WAY TOliOT BANKER 3fo Witnesses to Killing of Grif fith and Ireland. Worry Oyer Financial Matters Glien as Cause for Act. Holton, Kan., Oct. 25. James O. Marshall, 45, a farmer, was shot and instantly killed about 9 o'clock this morning on the main street of Hoyt by a posse of armed citizens who had been organized by Sheriff Charles O. Frazey. Marshall, who lived on farm about eleven miles west of Mayetta. was accused of being the man who. about 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, shot and killed Bert Griffith, SO, and Floyd Ireland, 2S, farmers, on th road about six miles west of Hoyt. It is believed his mind was affected by worry over his heavy financial losses. The Hoyt State bank had foreclosed a mortgage on Marshall's stock and had hired Griffith and Ireland to drivo the cattle to Hoyt. Was on Way to Bank. Marshall was killed this morning when he appeared In Hoyt, rifle In hand, walking down the street toward the Hoyt State bank. It Is believed he was going to the bank with the In tention of killing Orien Williams. cashier of the bank, and possibly Ar thur Colbron, a stockholder, both or whom Marshall had threatened, it was said. Special deputies whom Sheriff Frazey had appointed in the emer gency closed in about Marshall as he walked toward the bank. He was or dered to put up his hands but refused to do so, asserting that he "would die first." As he raised his rifle four shots were fired ana he fell with four bullet wounds In his chest, dying al most inrtantly. So far as is known, no one witnessed the killing of Griffith and Ireland. Jess Laswell, of Holton, was ac costed by Marshall near the scene of the crime, following the shooting, while driving to Hoyt with his daugh ter. Marshall asked for a rids but was refused. He uttered an oath and Insisted -on accompanying Laswell. Las well's daughter fainted and Mar shall went on his way. Returned To Hoyt In Evening. Some time after the shooting Mar shall appeared in Hoyt, put up his team, entered a restaurant and or dered supper. He ate with his rifle lying across his knees. He had prac tically finished his meal when news of the double murdfer began to spread In the little town, and a crowd soon gathered. However, Marshall walked out the front door of the restaurant and in plain sight of probably 109 men, left the town unmolested. Sheriff Frazey was in the north eastern corner of the county when he was called. He arrived In Hoyt about thrity minutes later after a ter rific drive and immediately organized a posse of citizens, who searched for the man without avail until after It o'clock. Marshall was not seen again until this morning when he was ob served walking down the street toward the bank. After he was killed he was found to be carrying on his per son, beside the .44 caliber Vlnchester rifle, a dirk knife, a hatchet and a revolver. Griffith is survived by his widow and a son, Lonnle. He lived four miles west of Hoyt. Ireland was mar ried and lived on a farm about twelve miles west of Holton. Worried Over Financial Troubles. Marshall was married and had lived! in JacHson oounty about three years. according to Sheriff Frazey, cominit here from Colorado. His disposition lately was said to havs been surly and disagreeable. Wo-ry over his finan cial troubles are thought to have un balanced his mind. The Hoyt State bank held a mort gage on the cattle which they fore closed. After the sherifTs sale had been advertised- for thirty days, ac cording to law, the stock was sold Tuesday. The bink bid it In and hired Griffith and Ireland to drivo the animals to Hoyt. Marshall Is said to have been in Holton when the cat tle were taken from his farm, and to have started out in pursuit as soon as he heard of it. Four Shots Were Fired. Sheriff Frazey said It was not known Just who fired the shots which, killed Marshall, as four shots were fired and there was a large crowd ot armed men around at the time. Mar shall Is said to have threatened tho sheriff with desfh when he went to his home to collect soma taxes a few months ago. The lives of Orion Williams, cashier of the bank, and Arthur G. Colbron, a stockholder, were probably saved aa a result of attending the reunion of the Scottish Rite bodies of th valley of Topeka Tuesday afternoon. After the crime was committed Marshall Is said to have gone to great effort to locate the bankers. A party of tea Hoyt men, members of tho rite, con ferred the seventh degree at the re union Tuesday afternoon. The women folk of the Community were alarmed for the safety of tho men at Topeka and telephoned to them at the Masonic temple Tuesday night and to'd them not to return home. Wli lams is said to havs re turned home, however, and was in tho bank this mornins when Maraha'l was sen going in that direction and was killed. AS OTTAWA DAILY GIVES CP.

FEED YARD TO JIAEi'SVatE Grand Island Will Make Change From Hanover, Report Says. Marysville, Kan., Oct. 25. Accord inn to railway information received at Oivision headquarters here, from Han over, the 8t. Joseph Grand Island railway "is removing its large feed yards from Hanover to Marysville. The company has for years main tained yards at Hanover with a capacity of fifty carloads of stock, and used them almost daily for what ever stock had to be fed in transit or account of the time limit being up before it could be hauled to its desti nation. It is understood the yard pens and feed racks had to be renewed and the railway decided it would be better to locate an entirely new yard at Marys ville, which is the division headquar ters and more centrally located. This means loss to Hanover, 'as the yards not only employ several men, but it meant good, steady sales of supplies to the railway by feed and hay dealers, which will now swine: to Marysville.

No stone is being left unturned In acquainting every voter in Kansas with the merits of the proposed ad justed compensation bill. Donald H. Maclvor, executive secretary of the Kansas compensation committee of the American Legion, declared in a. statement issued here today. "Ag gressive steps for the success of the measure are being taken by legion posts, auxiliaries and civic bodies in every community of the state," Mac Ivor said.

OPEN WAR ON 'BARNSTORMING1 Major leagues May Keep Players Off the "Coal Oil Circuits." New York, Oct. 25. The business of barnstorming, over -which. Babe Ruth and Judge Landis went to the mat at catch weights no later than last fall, in likely to be ruled right out of baseball when the major leagues convene in December. The privilege is being abused in a manner hardly favorable to the best interests of baseball. Ball players from nearly every major league outfit have identified themselves with all" manner of fly by night enterprises and are making their way around the coal oil circuits, according to information received in official circles here. It is alsjo hinted that not a few of the stars are giving the sunrise quite a play.. In consequence, some of the base ball played by them has not savored of major league standard and In gen eral a base-impression, is gained in the territory involved. A determined war on the rule, therefore, ts promised at the Decem ber meeting here. SPENDS NEARLY TWO MILLION. Salaries at K, S.. A. C. Duiiitg Last Year Amounted to $09,488.45.

Plan Would Cause Overproduc tion and S orpins. "McPherson, Kan., Oct. 25. Gov ernmental fixing of price on farm products is impracticable, Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agriculture, de clared in an address here today in which he reviewed efforts of the pres ent national administration to im prove agricultural conditions. "Government cannot successfully fix prices on farm crops," Secretary Wallace said, "unless government at the same time exercises arbitrary con trol over production and is prepared to take care of surplus crops grown. "Government can see to it that the farmer has the credit facilities he needs. Government can see to it that the markets are open and that the farmer gets fair treatment Govern ment can coireet and pass on the farmers' information aa to crop pro duction, probable demand, foreign competition, and the various things whtrh influence prices. That is about as far as government can safely go." Prices Are Too Low. Wheat growers of the northwest and southwest, the secretary said, are suffering severely now because of low prices, and especially because wheat is their one big cash crop. Declaring that wheat growers In general are not getting the cost of production. Secretary Wallace contin ued: 'Suppose congress should pass a law fixing the price of wheat at a point which would cover the cost of production and give the farmer just a fair profit. How would the govern ment enforce that price? Either it would have to buy the wheat at thai price fixed, or would have to let the farmer keep the surplus wheat on his own farm and loan him practically as much as the price fixed. Sehemo Would Break Down. "Now, if production the following year were not controlled, farmers would be greatly encouraged by the profitable prire fixed and would sow more wheat, thus piling another Dig? crop on top of the surplus. Mwiv than this, the price would encourage farmers in sections where wheat is not now being grown to grow wheat, because the price would be higher rel atively than the prce of corn and oats. That would result in a very iarge winter wheat crop in most of the corn belt states, which would add still further to the surplus. In the end the whole scheme would break down of its own weight and the farmers would- be worse off than they were before. The one crop wtieat farmers would be especially hard hit." IS FIELD- FOR AUTO BANDITS. Car Thefts Numerous In Winfield and Cowley County. Winfield, Kan Oct. 25. Car thefts" are increasing at an "alarming: rate in this vicinity, according to officers. No less than a dozen machines disap peared in Cowley county in the past few weeks and tire and accessory thefts are nightly occurrences, they say. Another indication that auto thieves find this part of the state a fertile field is the fact that Chief of Police Hoover, of Winfield. has cards from officials of surrounding towns reporting hundreds of cars stolen. The chief has indexed these- cards as to brands of the machines and a recent tabulation shows 28 varieties reported missing. PLAN CAMP FOR BOYS. Coffeyvillo Rotary Club Buys 100 Acres of Land for That Purpose. Coffeyville, Kan., Oct 2B.

CASTOR I A For Infants and Children tn-Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature at COOPER, EDITOR CHAMPION Topekan Wins Tblrd Tournament and the State Cap. Sallna, Kan., Oct. 25. Fred B. Cooper of Topeka won permanent pos session' of the championship cup of the State Editorial Golf association when he came thru the finals a win ner in the third consecutive tourna ment. Cooper won in the Zola. Law rence and Salina tourneys. Wilfrid Cavaness of Chanute won the presi dent's cup. Cooper defended his claim as asso ciation champion when he defeated Griffith Bonner of Topeka 3-2. Coop er turned in a 44 and a 8S for a total of 82. Bonner's score was 86. In the president's flight Cavaness de feated Harry E. Montgomery of Junc tion City 3-2. Cavaness shot an 88 and Montgomery registered In second with a 90 for the 18 holes. In the semi-finals for the cham pionship flight Cooper won over A. Q. Miller pf Belleville up and 6 to gq. Bonner defeated Roy Bailey of Salina. In the semi-finals for the president's flight Cavaness set back H. L. Harris of Herington 7 up and S to go. Mont gomery defeated Alfred G. Hili of Lawrence 5-4. John Gilmore of Fredonia won the consolation cup when he defeated H. W. Albright of Wichita 5 up and 4 to go. Special prizes offered by Salina merchants ad by the news men's golf association resulted in giving of an award to practically all of the men who participated in the fourth semi annual tournament. The spring 192S meeting)-will be in Topeka. News hound golfers were unani mous in their desire to come, to To peka. Following the Iola, Lawrence and Salina tournaments there was a desire to have another tryout on the courses here nnd Topeka may be made an annual meeting place by mu tual consent with, the second meet elsewhere. Harry E. Montgomery of the Junc tion City Union extended an invitation trr his town, but withdrew it In favor of Topeka. He probably will take home the fall 1923 session. Salina merchants were largely re sponsible for safeguarding the as sociation against an overdraft. They posted more special prizes than have been given at any meet and almost all of the players carried home trophies. Additional courtesies by the Country club. Pro Bonebrake and he Salina newspaper provided a decidedly full measure of hospitality. Of course the news men mixed shop talk and politics with the putts and drives. It was an overwhelmingly Republican meet, tho. Only one Democrat ublisher played in tha tour nament. When a straw vote was taken on the governorship, tho, the crowd kidded Roy Bailey. Republican publicity director, by voting over whelmingly for Davis. Then they re considered and voted solidly for Mor- gan. -The editorial golf tournament is developing a lot of state-wide inter est in the sweet stick enterprise.- Man ager of a large mid western sporting goods house was reported as stating that the organinzation had done more to advance the game in Kansas than any. one factor. Incidentally, tho or ganization is developing some brassie and mashie artists among its'; own membership. Jt Witness some of the Salina-Law-rence scores. Last spring the news men were dubbing their approaches and rimming their putts. This year they were pushing right for the cup. A half dozen birdies on a strange course the -first day and more re peaters the second day isn't a bad record for an association that plays catch aa catch can golf. Nearly a dozen members who couldn't be present sent messages. Most of the letters jwere accompanied by checks. There are probably fifty members of the association and few of them have shown a tendency to drbp out. In 'View of increasing interest in the game the membership may be boosted 58 or 60 per cent before the Topeka meet. Charles F. Scott, publisher of the Iola, Register, one of the founders of tha association and its first president, is recovering from effects of an opera tion performed last spring. He was not in the Salina tournament, but the Iola paper had a worthy representa tive in Angelo Scott, the publisher's son, who qualified with a 92. Bert Harris, one of the publishers of the Herington Times and the new association president, has been com ing up on his game in great style and looks like a cup contender next time. He is one of the examples of the fel lows who go from cow pasture to near pro style. Herbert Cavaness of the Chanute Tribune and first secretary of the as sociation, haa been in California the last year because of Mrs. Cavaness' health. Hie brother. Wilfrid Cavaness. played In the Salina tournament and there wasn't a bit of reason for tbs Tribune feeling embarrassed by his score, No. hole is a wicked water hazard. After the e'ditors had put enough balls in the lake to pay for a rebuilt linotype, they sat back and laughed aa they watched the heme (own fellows pave the bottom of the pond and add to the nervousness- of the fishes. John Gilmore of the Wilson County Citizen, Fredonia, was an example of the poor and downtrodden country editors present. He drove to the meet in a high-powered motor car and ex plained that because of the roads he wasnt able to make better than 70 miles an hour anywheres on the trip. Will Townsley of the. Great Bend Tribune hasn't missed a meeting of the association. He has been a big factor In putting the game on the western Kansas map. HANGS FOR TRIPLE MURDER.

Wichita, Kan., Oct. 25. Declaring that the "UWted States is very sick," William G. McAdoo, son-in-law of ex President Woodrow Wilson, told five thousand persons here last night "the voters wrote the wrong prescription, in November. 1920." He said the na tion could not expect a new prescrip tion until November, 1924. but it can give an antidote by sending Demo crats to congress. McAdoo spoke here in the interest of Jonathan M. Davis, Democratic candidate for gov ernor, and W. A. Ayres, Democratic candidate for comjress from this dis trict. Henry C. Wallace, secretary of ag riculture, will speak here in the inter est of the Republicans tonight. He is the first cabinet member who has vis ited southern Kansas in many years.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Wall St., New York, Oct. 25. STOCKS Prices were Irregular at the opening of the stock market. Shares of eastern railroads. Mexican oil compaaiea and a number of specialtiea were in good demand, but some of the steel, equipment and motor shares were under pressure. Reading and West ern Maryland second preferred, each estab lished new peakpricea for the vear, the former at 85, up 1. Other strong spots in the rail group were Western Maryland common. Jersey Central. Great Northern preierreu and New lork Central, up to l points. Mexican Petroleum sold 2 points above last night's closes in the first few minutes of trading.

United fitatea Steel com mon, sold off of a point and Republic Steel 1. Studebaker wag under professional-pressure, yielding 1 points. Stan dard Oil of California, Houston Oil and American Car also were heavy. Continuation of record coal shipments found expression in the brisk demand for shares r.f coal carrying railroads, most of which registered substantial gains. Some of the other raila improved in sympathy, gains of a point or more being recorded by New York Central, which was back to par, pelaware and Hudson, Baltimore and Ohio, Southern Railway preferred. Wheel ing and Lake Erie preferred and New Or leans, Texas and Pacific. Elsewhere in the list, however, bearish sentiment was predominant, being based on the further weaanesa lu loreiKU exchange and bon prices, and the apparent exhaustion of the demand built up in connection with the recent advance stocks resulting from the declaration of stock dividends and rumors of tlie same. Industrial pools made little effort to'push up their favorites and tho whole list sagged as a result. Davison Chemical .lumped 6 points to 30, a new low for the vear. and losses of 2 to 3 points were registered by Studebaker. Baldwin, Associated Oil, Marine preferred.

Thin week will see fifteen of the Kansas conference teams in action, fourteen of them in actual conference games, the fifteenth outside the con lerence. St. Mary's will meet Hays Normal on the St. Mary's field, the second t ftame of the season at home for the K Mt. Mary's eleven. It is the third game for St. Mary's, the first one be ing with Kansas State normal, which was lost 7 to 0. The second game played was with Ottawa university, and was won by the Catholics, 13 to 0. The dope in this ganft favora St. Mary's, since Hays was able to win from Ottawa IS .j 13. and St. Mary's won over the Baptists, 13 to 0. How ever, that was with aeveial of the Baptist men out on account of In juries, so it should be a close game. Oi course St. Mary's has the advan tage of playing on its home field. That is an advantage to any team, and especially is this true of St. Mary's, because of the unusually good sup port given the Catholics by the fans. It is bound to have a psychological ef fect. Hays has lost to McPherson by two points. With two losses checked up against It. the Pittsburgers enter the Bethany game at Pittsburg Friday In second place. Pittsburg lost to Baker U. and to College of Kmportu, the first by a 6 to 0 score, and tho second 14 to 0. llethany has won over fairmount and Ster.ing and lost to Friends. The Weed aggregation may be strength ened some since the Baker and Col lect) of Kmporla games. It is not likely that Kansas State normal will win by as large a score over Southwestern on the Wlnfield f.eld, as it did last year at Gmnoria. when the final whistle showed a 61 to 0 rlefeat for the Southwesterners, but Kansas normal is easily the favorite, and should win. Kansas State nor ma; defeated Fairmount 27 to 3, after roumwestern had tiec with the Wich ita school. This would give the Em piirians a 25-point win over South western, figuring it from the dope. However, dope does not run true to form. Figures i:e on the football field. College of Emporia is the favorite ngainht Ottawa university Friday at Ottawa. There is not much dope on this game, but strength of the teams would show the Presbyterians the favorites. Ottawa will be stronger than against St. Mary's, when It lost, 13 to 0. The dope would show McPherson and Kansas Wesleyan evenly matched in the Friday contest on the Salina field. Hays went down to defeat, 14 to 18, by McPherson, while the best Hays could do to the Salina Meth odists was win by a field goal. The McPherson crew is a strong team, and it will be a good game, we believe. Haekell should win from Fairmount by a comfortable margin. Fairmount has lost to Bethany and Kansas State Normal and won from McPherson and Kansas Wesleyan, besides getting a goose-egg tie with Southwestern. Haskell has won from Pittsburg, Ot tawa and Friends. Friends is the favorite In the St rling contest, having a win over Bethany, which won from Sterling, 10 to 0. The Friends-Bethany score was 18 to 7. The evenest game in the conference Tnis week should be the Baker-Washburn contest at Topeka. The score In the Baker-Washburn game last year was 16 to 17. favoring the Topeka school. Both teams are fairly strong this year, with the dope about even. There are no actual figures on which to make a decision. Baker is coming to Topeka with the intention of taking the long end of the score to make up for previous de feats. Washburn has won six games out of eleven, while Baker took five. Baker will try to make it six ail Sat urday. Disapproval of the action of Wash burn men who painted the Kansas university stadium continue to come to the attention of this column. A number of business men have spoken disapprovingly of the stunt, and of similar methods of trying to Instill a little patriotism Into the students. All of them are not in favor of this kind of patriotism. They believe It hurts the school, and It does. Approval of the action taken by this column In denouncing such acts or vandalism have been received. Among those speaking favorably were a num ber of Washburn college football play ers, who said that Just such things as that is what hurts the game, and collegiate- athletics. "We as a group of football players are opposed to such action," one of them said. Statements from members of the coaching staff, and others disapprov ing of the plan, follow: Dwight T. Ream, director of ath letics at Washburn college, does not approve of such acts of vandalism a was shown in the painting of the Kan sas university stadium. He made this formal statement-today: "We have no sympathy whatever for that kind of school patriotism. It doesn't help win football games, and probably is the work of men who haven't the nerve to come out and really help a football team by wear ing a suit and trying for the team. WASHBURN- football men are not in sympathy with that kind of support." Professor Morgan, of the Washburn college psychology department, said such things as that are what hurts college athletics. "It is just such acta of vandalism as that that undermine our athletics. It hurts the purpose of college athletics. Unless such things are discouraged, our whole athletic system will suffer," he said. Howard Myers, president of the Washburn college student council, made this statement relative to the painting of the stadium: "Such work as that hasn't any sanc tion of any of the school authorities. It is small school stuff, and is not such conduct that should be shown and is expected of college students. I believe Washburn has about out grown that class of stuff. Consider able of that has been done in the past which has caused trouble between Kansas and Washburn, but the time is coming fast when such things will bo considered disloyalty to the school. It is poor sportsmanship, and I feel sure that the entire student body of Wash burn college is not in favor of any such conduct. The act probably was done by a few students who always fly off a tangent and do not do it in the spirit of patriotism, but because they think it is smart." These Chickens Feed at Night. Wichita, Kan.. Oct. 25. C. O. Han cock of this city, has a flock of chick ens that get up at midnight to dine. At this hour one night recently, Han cock reports, his flock made a ter rible commotion in the hen house. Upon investigating, he found the fowls greedily devouring a can of feed from which the lid had been knocked. He attributes the unusual incident to an unusually bright moon. 25 YEARS AGO IN TOPEKA From th columns of THE TOPKA STATE JOURNAL October Sff, 1897. Many Topeka people Are laboring1 under the impression that Eddie Foy is the lead ing comt-dinn of the "In Gay New York" company at the Grand tonight. While Foy has a prominent place to display his talents. Lee Harrison is the bead of the company. His breezy and nonchalant bunco man is one of the best played parts In that merry burlesque. Dana MacVicar will be truarduatefl In law from the State university at Lawrence next spring. He attended Columbia law school in New York city last year. A. Leslie McCanne, a cousin ot Mr. Earle Williams of Topeka, arrived today from Mansfield. La. Mr. McCanne bas taken THE value of Tanlao as a family medicine is again very forcibly demonstrated in the home of Mrs. Josephine Deckret, 1912 Bank St.. Baltimore. After putting this splendid tonic to the test with herself and three children, Mrs. Deckret says: "Tanlac has been such a great bless ing to myself and three children that it has won my lifelong praise. My health had been so wretched for two or three months that I was just drag ging around. I could neither eat nor sleep to do much good and had a world of trouble with indigestion. I have just finished my third bottle of Tanlac and am almost a well woman already, "John Frank, aged six, and Caro lina, who is four, both complained of headaches, pains in the stomach and were very restless at night. They had no appetites, were thin and pale, and took no interest in play or anything else. "And Joseph Paul, two years old, was in just about the same fix. I could not get him to eat, he was fret ful day and night, and was very thin and pale. They have taken about two bottles of Tanlac each now, and healthier, happier children could not be found. John Frank has gained six pounds, Carolina eight and little Jo seph is as fat as a butterball and playful as a kitten. I certainly have good reasons for praising Tanlac."

Women of Middle Age THE critical stage of a woman's life usually comes between the years of 45 and 55, and is often beset with annnoying symptoms such as nervousness irrita bility, melancholia, heat flashes which producehead ache and dizziness, and a sense of suffocation. Guard your health carefully, for if this period be passed over safely, many years of perfect health may be enjoyed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is especially adapted to help women through this crisis. It exercises a restorative in fluence, tones and strengthens the system, and assists nature in the long weeks and months covering this period. It is prepared from medicinal roots and herbs, and contains no harmful drugs or narcotics. Its value is proven by many such letters as these Denver, Colo. -"I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I can not tell you the good it has done me. It is good for young and old and I always keep a bottle of it in the house, for "I am at that time of life when it calls for it. My husband saw your ad. in the papers and said, TTou have taken everything you can think of, now I want yon to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound!' So I let him get it, and I soon felt better. 'I took about six bottles.' I keep house and do all my own work and work out by the day and feel fine now. I tell everyone about the Vegetable Compound, for so many of my friends thought I would not get well." Mrs. R. J. Lxktox, 1850 West 33rd Ave., Denver, Colo. Metropolis, HI. "I hare taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it is all it claims to be and has benefited me wonderfully. I had been sick for eight months with a trouble which confined me to my bed and waa only able to be up part of the time, when I was advised by a friend, Mrs. Smith, to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound" and ILiver Pills. I was so much benefited by the use of these, medi cines that I was able to be tip and about in two weeks.

Results of the secretary's campaign eagerly are awaited. At present cured ham Is being retailed In Topeka, res taurants and cafeterias approximate ly at the rata of $4 a pound. Uemocrat women of Missouri have organized a league having for Its pur pose the defeat of Senator Jim Reed. The prospectus says: "Ha bolted the national Democratic) platform, the national Democratic administration and the Missouri Democratic 'platform and the Missouri state ticket and the national Democratic ticket in 1920. Hence, we exercise the same right of individual judgment and will refuse to support James A. Reed for sena tor. His party record gives him no claims to party support." A record like that should commend the senator to all dissatisfied Republican voters in the State If there be any such.

"No form of merchandise advertis ing is equal o, or a substitute for. newspaper advertising; it not only helps sell the goods but incidentally helps build good-will," was the ad vice's given to 2,000 members of the American Gas association by John F. Weedon, superintendent of advertis ing of the People's Gas, Light Coke company of Chicago, at a meeting jiem mis ween. .-Newspaper space should be used continuously thruout the year," Mr. Weedon said. "Spas modic advertising activities produce only spasmodic results. Keeping ever lastingly at it emphasizes a faith in your institution, your service, and your goods that is eventually trans ferred to the public thru the insistence and persistence of your announce ments." William G. McAdoo is reported to have charged the Republicans with strangling prosperity. If the party be guilty as charged it has made a very bungling Job of it. Just now pros perity is about the liveliest corpse ever seen. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, who in times past has aspired to become his party's candidate for the presidency and has failed, now urges the forma tion of a new party to be called the Democratic-Republican party. It is doubtful that the elephant could be brought to affiliate with the donkey, besides, the country has experimented once with a college president in the White House and probably will be in no hurry to try it again. The legislatures of forty-three states will meet during the coming year and the automobllists of the country are preparing to swoop down on them in the- interest of what car owners regard as needed legislation. Officers of highway commissions In the forty-three states are busy pre paring drafts of new, or amendments to old legislation for submission to legislative bodies when they convene. These drafts are expected to contain suggestions with reference to the bringing cf state laws In line with the federal aid law, the question of thett prevention, motor car registration, legislation controlling headlights, auto. matlc signals, and having to do "with taxes and fees in the operation of mo tor vehicles. Still otner subjects to be given consideration will concern the question of declaring motor ve hicle to bo common carriers, uniform traffic laws, elimination of grade crossings, highway enforcement leg islation, snow removal, in addition to dosens of other pertinent and impor tant related matters. The car owners are becoming a power in the land. The) cables carry an announcement that the Turka are preparing to de mand the restoration of Mesopotamia. But when they undertake to make England give up anything on which she has obtained a grip they will find that they are dealing with a. proposi tion wholly different from any to which they have been accustomed. TAXES. A discussion of the matter of taxes is a feature of every political cam paign. The campaign now in prog ress has been no exception to the rule. Because the mounting costs of gov ernment in this country are reflected not only in the national budget, but also in state and city budgets, because the -reasons for the Increase in these costs are the same in each instance, and because the total of these costs is borne by all the people, it seems proper to reprint what was said on the subject by former United States Senator Ellhu Root, at the New York state Republican convention. "The most important question in the coming New York state election,"' he declared, "will be whether the great, busy, orderly, good natured ma jority are going to attend seriously to their part of the business of govern ment. It is a question of the amount of interest taken by the men and wo men who haven't any axes to grind, who are not trying to get anything out of government except the ends of government that affect everybody alike order and liberty, efficient prqr tection to life and property, prompt and impartial justice, good sanitation, good roads, good schools, economy in public expenditure, efficiency in pub lic service, moderation and fair distri bution In taxation. Will the men and women who want these things. and seek no special privileges or profits from government for themselves real ize their duty?" Mr. Root proceeded as follows: For a period which began before the great war there has been a steady increase in the activities and the cost of state government. Expenses, ap propriations, payrolls, tax levies, all have steadily mounted up higher and higher. We have all been talking about it, the newspapers have printed countless articles about it; years ago It became apparent that the process must be checked or government would run into bankruptcy or be saved from, ounKruptcy oniy Dy imposing upon the people of the state burdens of taxation which would destroy prosperity. Yet no one appearedLto be able to stop the process vof Inflation. ine continual increase was occa sioned partly by the increase of popu lation; partly Dy necessary and proper extensions of governmental activity to meet new conditions of living; partly by the pressure of organized minori ties and special groups, who sought special expenditures from government and whose power to punish politically made resistance to their demands dif ficult; partly by the increased desire to share in the distribution of public funds created by observing freedom of distribution; partly by the inevita ble looseness of expenditure incident to a government whose organization formed under simple conditions had never been adapted to more compli cated conditions; and partly by that universal weakness of human nature which makes it easier to spend other people's money than to make political or personal enemies by refusal. The process which I have described was reinforced by the demoralizing influence of the great war; the habit of indifference to cost under the necessities of war; the habit of loose and profligate expenditures which is associated with every great war; the widespread appetite for public plun der cultivated by getting easy money from public treasuries. Under this In- fluence the process of state extrava gance was accelerated at the very time when we were all demanding that it be checked. Our state government did not stand alone in this process The same thing went on with the fed eral government; the same thing went on to an even worse degree under the government of the city of New York. But that makes the situation rather worse than better. Overtaxation by the federal government is hardly remedy for overtaxation by the state government. Our present business is with the government of the state, which we have seen for years running wild in extravagance with nobody seeming able to stop it. I am not charging criminality upon anyone. I am stating facts which plainly result from having the govern ment controlled by the weakness of hurnan nature rather than by the strength. What the speaker says of New York lis true of every state in the Union to a great extent. For these conditions no political party Is directly respon sible. The Montreal "Gazette" thinks that by the time the validity of the Daugh erty liquor ruling has -been deter mined by a judgment from our su preme court the fate of the ship sub sidy bill wUl be known, "In which event an adverse decision from the supreme court would doubtless be re ceived philosophically by the admin istration." The paper continues: "One of the motives back of the Daugherty ruling is said to be a de sire to propitiate the prohibitionist vote In congress and thereby strength en the chances of the ship subsidy bill. The prohibitionists will not vote to subsidize a wet fleet and the ship ping board have protested that a dry fleet cannot compete with wet rivals. An order whose effect would be to make state-owned vessels and their competitors also, dry, would satisfy the prohibitionists and the shipping board."

SADIES YOVH EARS, PLEASE! Washington, D. C Oct. 23. Ears are to be featured this winter, accord ing to the best fashion prophets. This pronouncement may i very nine 10 w.e "h" t.Ti a to I "Jt'.C wear ears as usual regardless of fash- ion. But mlnine America is sup posed to be somewhat agog over the prospect of ears. Just as there were knees and knees, so it is to be supposed there are ears and ears. Women who have ears of the dainty, shell like variety are Joyful over a chance to reveal them. On the other hand those whose ungainly ears have been fine only to pad out ear puffs are wondering whether de fiance of the new fashion will arouse the voice pf gossip. The damsel who clung to ankle length skirts when knees were in style was set down as probably bowlegged. When ears come Into full swing the woman who re fuses to show hers will be in serious danger of having it rumored that she has ears like sugar bowl handles. So far the appearance of the fem inine ear has been chiefly a matter of gossip and prediction. Irene Castle, who is supposed to be responsible for the bobbed hair epidemic, has ap peared wearing her ears prominently displayed, and the deduction is that the fashion followers of the country will not let Irene's ears be lonesome very long. Meanwhile earrings are being worn in all circles, and the tip of the ear is thus brought into the spotllgnt. Everything from platinum and dia monds to Chinese currency is being worn as an ear decoration. Earrings are one of the fashions that come and go in cycles, their popu larity depending partly on styles of hairdressing and partly on chance. When hair Is -Worn very low over the ears, rings, even of the swinging va riety, are not apt to be popular. As ears come into sight 6rnaments for them become more interesting. In the remote past Persians, Greeks and Israelites, both men and women, wore earrings as choice ornaments. It was from her ear, we are told, that Cleopatra took the famous pearl which she dissolved In wine for Anthony's enjoyment. When Greeks Fell for Earring. How the Greeks, who were such connoisseurs of physical perfection, came to approve of piercing the ears is told entertainingly by Miriam Ellis, a student of the ear. She says: "The Greeks, who of all nations must have most fully understood the beauty of the unpierced ear, fell a prey to this aggravating custom whan they were already well advanced in civilization. The reason given is that they misunderstood an oracle of Apol lo, that declared 'if they wished to have good citizens, they were to put what they held most precious into the ears of their children." Greek avarice prevailed over Greek philosophy, and Instead of putting words of wisdom in to their children's ears, they put lit eralgold and jewels into the lobes." When the thrilling possibilities of the earring are exhausted in their present reign of favor we may expect the next sensation, the ear itself. By that time some one will probably find out that ears are shockingly immoral. Some vagary of hair dressing will show up ears in all their terrible im modesty and at once capable censors will be organized to fight the new menace to the public welfare. If the prophecy that ears are to be impor tant, fashionably speaking, is fulfilled they may prove almost as good a sub ject for warfare as knees have been. Seriously speaking, however, the re turn to popularity of the ear will un doubtedly meet with the approval or many people. Women's ears have been hidden so long that standards of beau ty for the ear have been practically forgotten. Yet beautiful the ear cer tainly is, according to the verdict of artists of every age. Sculptors may perhaps be said to concern themselves with the ear more than painters. A study of any collec tion of famous paintings shows com paratively few in which women's ears are clearly depicted. Generally they are shadowed and partly or altogether hidden by the line of the hair. In sculpture, on the other hand, where a faithful portrayal of anatomy is Intended, and where an ambiguous line is impossible, the ears appear In more detail. The human ear to the sculptor is an interesting problem. From the time of the Egyptians and the Greeks, statues of women have worn ears partly or entirely revealed, Beanty Depends Upon Size. Henry K. Bush-Brown, noted sculp tor, says that artists have always con sidered the ear an ornament to the head. Its beauty, however, is some times enhanced when it is partially concealed, he explains. He points out that the Greek sculptors often ob tained a beautiful effect by portraying the lower part of the ear snowing be low a graceful hair line. "The beauty of the ear," Mr. Bush- Brown says, "depends somewhat on its size. It should not be too large. nor yet too small. For symmetry It should be about the length or the nose, and graceful in line and modeling. The ears should, of course, be set j close to the head." Many of us would say off-hand that the ears are not a particularly distinguishing feature. This sculptor says that there is probably more vari ance in ears than in any other fea ture. A seventeenth century soholar of Venice who attempted to classify ears found no lees than thirty-six gen eral types. Miss Ellis has pointed out that this number can be multiplied by three because of three sizes of ears. large, medium and small, and also again by four, because ears are long, short, square and round in shape. This makes 4S2 general classes of ear. Some physiognomists have at tempted to prove that character can be read in the ear that certain pro portions, lines and angles of an ear indicate certain qualities in the posses sor. This is an extension of such popular beliefs as the one that a long ear signifies long life. Aged people often do have long ears, it is true. But close observers have declared that the ear -becomes slightly enlarged in old age. In other words, a person has not reached old age because he has long ears: his ears appear long because of his age. Aside from this change, most students of the ear agree that the ears do not alter after they attain their full size. It is also generally agreed that ears are more useful as earrina; hold ers than as indexes to character.

A Stenographer's Romance BY JANE PHELPS NATURE HELPS HEAL NELLIE'S SORROW Chapter 87. Even tho Nellie felt she had done rights she was saddened, and often wept over her lost romance; always at night so that Mrs. Roberts would not be worried, would not think her un grateful. The big, rambling country house, the lawn, the old trees, the flowers all delighted her. She never had left New York since the day so long ago when she arrived with Miss Carter's old straw suit case. It was almost like a new world and In spite of her heartache she enjoyed herself. For her heart did ache. It nan not been easy to give up the man she loved; whom she looked up to; who typified all that was fine and good to her. Never had it been his money or his social position that held her. Those had formed the stumbling block in her way one that had grown so huge she felt she never could get over it And because she was honest, wished for his happiness as well as her own, she had unselfishly put him out of her life. "Maybe he'll marry Miss Dorothy now," she would say when at night she would grieve. "She's his kind." So grateful Was sne to Mrs. Rob erts that she would not show any sor row durintc the day. She devoted herself to the old lady, and they took long rides along the country roads, Nellie driving a gentle old Tiorse, while Mrs. Roberts talked to her of her own girlhood. She not only loved but thoroly ad mired Nellie, her force of character. She had been exposed to many temp tations that. Mrs. Roberta Knew and had kept herself clean and good. Her beauty, her high spirits made her attractive to everyone who knew her; but they were also a lure for those who cared nothing but for the pass ing moment. That she had kept her self the same -innocent girl she had been when she left Hudson Corners to make her own way in the world Mrs. Roberts was sure. Her motherly heart yearned over the girl, who iever had known a mother's care. As long as I live she shall have -a friend," she said to herself. The weeks fairly flew. Nellie had regained her color, and grieved less at night. Seeing the good it was doing her Mrs. Roberts, prolonged their stay another two weeks. Six weeks in this heavenly place!" Nellie exclaimed when told. ','Oh, how wonderful! Shall I ever be' able to settle down and work again?" You'll work all the better for a lit tle play spell," Mrs. Roberts returned. Nellie had said nothing of her plans. what she intended to do, ana Mrs. Roberts had asked no questions. But now she said: Have you anything in view. Nellie?" 'No, I think perhaps I shall go with Cora. I hate to be in the same build ing again," she flushed hotly, "but beggers can't be choosers, you know. 'How would you like to nave a pri vate place, more private than Is a down town office. I have a rnena who is at the head of a charitable or ganization. I have written her and she needs a secretary. The pay isn't quite as much as ytu have been get ting but the surroundings are nice and refined. What do you say?" I say I take it!" Nellie threw her arms impulsively about Mrs. Roberts' neck. "I have been wondering If I could go back where I would see him. It would be hard at first. Maybe he would feel embarrassed too." Then I'll write that you will take the position." Please, If you think I can do the work satisfactorily." "I know you can, and the office isn't so far from the house. You can walk back and forth. That will be a sav ing as well as good for your health." "I hope some day I can do some thing for you; something to repay you show you how I love you." Nellie returned, her eyes filling. She would not have to ask for reference from Mr. George, so Mrs. Roberts assured her. She would be saved all. embar rassment, have a nice situation and be able to remain in the house with Mrs. Roberts. Her clothes were all in or der, the best she ever had had. "It's a good thing I didn't buy a white dress and all the fixings," she said rather ruefully to herself. "They wouldn't be any use to me and all I did get are plain enough to wear."

Friend Dodd -1 got your letter a while back- I guess it must have been In July because it was the day before We threshed and I was on my way over to Jim Tinkham's to borrow a w. copper kettle, and right at the foot of the hill before I got to the mail box I met Med Sears, and he Was a-telling me about how us farmers was being ground down by Wall Street and 1 happened to think I had not been to the mail box for two or three days and there was something in it and it was your letter. For a while 1 couldn't think who it was from. But I put it in my pocket and went on over to Tinkham's after the kettle and the next day we threshed, but Thursday, it was either Thursday or Friday, we was going to Aunt Polly Nunnelly's funeral and when I was changing my clothes I happened to put my hand in my pocket and there was your letter. Well after we got back from the fun eral I set down and read it, and I was glad to hear from you, altho I wasn't sure whether it was from you or your brother. Then Luella remembered that you went East and your brother went West and we decided it was from you. There is not much news in this neighborhood. I reckon you heard Aunt Mealy Ticknor died two years ago this fall. She overdone putting up fruit and kind of went into a de cline. I am all right except that my leg bothers me at times. It never has been right since that time the sorrel mares run off with me and you. When the topgue of the buggy come down it throwed you clear over the hedge fence into the corn field, but you didn't seem to be much hurt and helped me up to the house and they sent for the doctor. But along about 8 o'clock that night you come out of it and said, "Where am I? What are we all a doing here?" Luella says it wasn't you that was with me when the sorrel mares run off; that it was your brother, but it seems to me it was you. I have got a granddaughter of that off sorrel mare that looks as much like her as two peas. ,Gib Toland passed away last summer. I don't know what they will do. There is eight children and the oldest is only twelve years old and not much help. They are painting the school house again. I remember the last time it w-as painted you had come over to borrow an apple corer and we slipped down and stole some of the paint. I guess it was you. It may have been Mitch Bartley. It was one of you. They haven't fixed the hole in the floor yet. The school has dwindled down till there is not more than twenty scholars and they don't want to spend too much money on it the way times is. I expect you remember that hole. It was right back of the stove when you went to school, but the stove don't stand where it did. Ed Perriman died this summer. H had run thru with about everything;. They say he owed the bank a good deal of money, three or four hundred dollars. Bryan was here a year ago last summer and spoke at Grigsby Citv. but I didn't gO and hear him. I don't go around much. I was down to the soldiers' reunion at Parsons last fall. I met a fellow there that knowed jour brother, I forget his name. Seems iike It was Si mm 3 .or Simmons, or something like that- He was running a cane rack and seemed to be doing well, i He was no relation to the Bill Simmons that used to live on Yankee Ridge. -I don't suppose you had heard that he was dead. He went down into Texas, but they brought his body back. Some said he got into trouble down there. Ted Bayard has bought the old Mitchell place and fixed it up. They have a phonograph and they say he paid twelve hundred dollars for his car. Everybody is wondering where he got the money. I don't suppose you remember him. He is a new comer. They moved into the neigh borhood in 1898 or '98.- Or maybe it was before that. Luella says it was the year we grubbed out the peach orchard and that was the year before Conkrights built their new house. The Conkrlghts built the year Grandfather Allen died. Bill Gabriel's oldest boy had a good Job with a cement gang in Missouri, but he come home last week. The Gabriels won't stick to anything. Bill was township assessor for three years. He got three dollars a day when he worked, but he didn't save anything. Fash Stuckey is dead. They say he got hold of a bottle of carbolic acid, but they hushed it up and nobody ever knowed anything for certain. Doo Settle was in it some way and that meant nobody could find out anything. I suppose you have a good time In the city Just working your ten hours a day and not having anything much to do after you get home in the even ing. It's an easy life, but I don't be lieve I'd like it. I went to St. Louis on an excursion train once, and that was enough of the city for me. I was tired of it before the day was over. We Jeft Grlgsby City about S o'clock in tne morning and didn't get to St. Louis till nearly noon. I hadn't taken no lunch with me and the fellow at the lunch stand wanted to charge me ten cents for a sandwich and ten cents for a cup of coffee, but I wouldn't stand it to be robbed. I tried to buy some bananas, but they was ten cents apiece, too, and I asked the fellow if he thought I was from the country. Well, ,we fooled around most of the afternoon and finally the train started back about 8 o'clock in the evening and we didn't get to Grigsby City until after sunup the next morn ing. I remember it because it was the day Jake Adson died. We had to go over to the Adson's that evening and I didn't get to bed until after 8 o'clock. Luella says it wasn't the day Jake died. She says it was Mart Sturges. Anyway. I got all the city life I wanted that day. I used to think I'd let up a little and buy a house in Grigsby City and move to town, but after that day in St, Louis I made up my mind that the farm was good enough for me. I hope you'are doing well, but your expenses must be pretty high, and' I don't suppose you are putting much away. Jim Haley told me when he was here to his father's funeral that he can't hardly save a cent out of his salary, and he gets 1150 a month. Jim lives in Kansas City and they say he is in with a pretty fast set. I expect you would have been better off if you'd stayed right here on the farm. Luella is pretty well, only her back bothers her some. She is not a young woman any more. She'll be 41 her next birthday. Well, no more at pres ent. Your friend, WILLIAM DYE. The widow of a field marshal of the Evening Story Lovers' Knote. N BY ROSE MEREDITH "The house is finished at last," said Leonard proudly, as he unlocked the front door and ushered the brown- eyed girl into the home that was to be theirs. He bent to kiss her before they passed into the living room. "Isn't it cozy?" he asked, just as if he hadn't had her opinion about everything from the topmost brick or the chimney to the cement on the cellar floor. "It is perfect." she breathed softly, as they went from room to room, hand in hand. Still, there was a shadow in the brown eyes that did not depart when thex locked the door upon the home-that-was-to-be-theirs In the au tumn. "What is it. Mildred?" hs Asked. suddenly. "I thought you Would be so nappy about it now, we can go ahead and buy the furniture the money is ready, unless he hesitated and saw that her cheeks were pink and her eyes distressed, "unless you would rather wait a few months for the fur niture and I will buy the ring you wanted." She put out her hand her left hand, where the third finger wore a curious ring of twisted gold and sil ver. "I feel so conspicuous with this, Leonard all the girls wear solitaires and they seemed so amused when I explained that I preferred to wear this because it meant just as much to us as a more costly one but I don't explain any more." Her lips drooped. "You would rather have the dia mond?" he asked with assumed care lessness, "it is only a matter of a few months more I am sorry you are marrying such a poor fellow but a home to go into is something to start on." "I know it. Leonard I am very foolish," she faltered. "Never mind, dear I know how you feel," he said, "suppose we go around to Burtls now and choose the ring." The next day the little gold and silver lovers' knot was gone from Mil- area s ringer and in its place was a glittering diamond that called forth all the admiration she had craved from her friends at the office and elsewhere. "You are a lucky girl," sighed Jen nie Jones, one of the bookkeepers. "You are going to marry a man who has built a house, furnished it com pletely, and given you a beautiful ring, too! Think of poor me when I mar ried Will he gave me a gorgeous ring and we bought a thousand dollars worth of furniture on the installment plan and leased an apartment- That was two years ago we lost all the furniture, the ring was pawned to pay the doctor's bill when I was so sick last winter, and we are doing light housekeeping in two tiny rooms! I am back at my job and we are both saving every cent we can for a home so we can start right the next time." "You are a lucky girl," the words rang in Mildred's ears for many a day after that, as she wore the beautiful ring, that sealed her engagement to Leonard. She did not earn a large salary, and it was only by scrimping that she could save a little each week after all her expenses were paid. She was all Alone in the world and there was no near relative to advise her about the management of her affairs. But experience was teaching her something and all that long, hot sum mer, when she met Leonard, she could see that he was practising small econ omies. "Perhaps he Is saving for the furni ture," she thought with a blush, and Bhe would turn the diamond around so that she could not see its mocking glitter. One day she overheard two of her office associates talking to gether. "Married?" sniffed one man. "Can't afford it, my boy. Girls expect too much nowadays first one has to bust loose with a diamond that's worth twice as much as the other fellows are buying lease an expensive apart ment Mildred hastened away with burn ing cheeka It was all true. Bhe had been most unhappy ever since she had worn the diamond ring. She wanted that money to furnish their home and as the time went by she realized that the home meant more to her than all the diamond rings in the world. She thought of the little brown shingled house, empty and waiting be cause there was nothing to furnish it with. One evening she walked over there alone and found a light burning behind' drawn window shades. Foot steps were echoing in the bare rooms. Perhaps it was Leonard she pulled out her key and softly entered the house. The light from the dining room chandelier shone into the living room and showed the walls had been pa pered in soft brown even the ceiling had been done in ivory. In the dining room was a slap-slap as Leonard ap plied the paste to lengths of paper spread on a roughly constructed table. Leonard was papering the rooms himself. Leonard who worked so hard all day long that he was weary at night who had gone without a vaca tion so that he might work in the house he was making ready for her for the most selfish girl in the world, she told herself angrily. "Leonard," she said softly. "Dearest," he answered, coming to embrace her, while a paste brush waved uncertainly over her head, "what are you doing here? I was go ing to surprise you by finishing it be fore Sunday." "I came to ask you for something." she whispered, her face against his old coat where a dab of wet paste clung; "I want the little lovers knot ring back again please." "But the diamond have you lost it?" he asked. "No but I want you to sell It and let us buy the furniture and be happy, and I feel more engaged with the lit tle ring you gave me at first." He laughed and kissed her, holding her tight to his heart. Then he allowed her to pull the little ring out of his pocket and slip it on her third finger, while the diamond found its way into his pocket to be converted into fur niture. "Now I am happy," sighed Mildred, and the paste brush wobbled dripplng ly over their blissful heads. (Copyright, 1922, by McClure News paper Syndicate.) LITTLE BENNY'S NOTE BOOX BY tXB PATE.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young; married woman and love my husband i very dearly. We see a great deal ctp""" "on another married couple and the girl is my dearest friend. My husband likes her husband very much, too. Everything: would be all right, only her husband drinks and when he is drunk he seoms possessed to make love. His wife says that he will make love to any woman no matter who she is or how ugly. She says that sne has never had a girl friend that he has not insulted and of course this makes her feel very badly. Very often he comes over to our house when he has had too much to drink and at such times he usually comes without his wife. Until lately he has not paid any attention to me, but the last time he came he made such charming speeches that I was embarrassed. My husband said that he was not himself and as long as he went no further I should ignore what he says. The thing that worries me is that he has started in this way, because at first he was very respect ful. What would you advise me to do in this matter? RUTH MARIE. Take the flattering remarks seri ously and with dignity. If the man goes too far, reprove him, of course. I think, however, that you will find It enough to keep your dignity and not respond in any way. How humiliated the poor wife must be to have her husband act in such a cheap way! Doubtless she has suf fered more than any of her friends know. JUST FOLKS BT EDGAR A. GUEST. WHEN REDSKINS BIT THE DVST. Do you remember the days that were.

Women and Weddings i. -art,., mitihuri always anxious to have thier daughters marry, and loath thoir Mm marrr? t. There's never any trouois aing to ten waiun ily, and which tba bridegroom's, mo veriest stranger could pick out which is which without the slightest chance of making a mistake. The bride's mother is wreathed in smiles, and wears the triumphant air of the cat that- has just eaten the canary, while the bridegroom's mother has the de pressed and done-for expression of the late deceased bird. From ithe time a girl baby Is born her mother begins to plan for her wedding. She holds marriaaa up be fore the girl as the chief aid and end of a woman's life. While daughter is still in her pigtails, she begins culti vating callow kids with a weather eye to their being possible future son -Inlaws when they grow up-- And when the girl finally makes her debut, mother rolls up her sleeves and gets on the husband hunting Job in earnest and never. ests until she sits back with. a sigh of contentment in the front row In church, and listens to the wedding march, tnat to ner is a paean of victory, for it marks her triumph in getting Mamie, or Sadie Trl ti TtH At? j,-ar otherwise does a woman feel of it as long as she can. She doesn't encourage vounsr erirls to come around I the house unless they ars so homely i and hopeless she knows son couldn't be hired to show them any attention. She picks a thousand flaws in every In anlte of all mother ran do to pre vent it, son gets married, the wedding be'.ls ring dirges in her heart.' Of" course mother will deny these statements, bflt they are true, never theless. Else why does the man s mother always weeo at a wedding. while the girl's mother wears the grin that won't come off? Yet one would think the reverse of this would be the case. One would think that every woman who had. herself, known wifehood, and mother hood, with ell that they inevitably bring of risk, and suffering, and sor row, and anxiety to a woman would hold her little daughter back from the altar almost as she would hold her back from death itself. If she could. For in marriage it is women who take their lives and their hap piness in their hands, and chance it all on having got the right man In stead of a rounder for a husband. They do not know, as a man knows, what they are marrying. And their mothers are so anxious to get them married they do not look the gift horse in the mouth, or even ask for his pedigree and record of past per formances. Strange and Incredible that a mother should be particular about the character of the girl her son marries, and utterly indifferent as to the character of the man her daughter marries! A mother also knows how com pletely a woman's life is in her hus band's hands, and how easily hs may break her heart, and make her miser able.. Hs need not be a bad man to do it. He may be as moral as the Ten Commndments, yet wreck his wife's happiness by stinginess, by temper, by surliness, by utter lack of tender ness, and understanding. No man with a mean wife, is in as hard luck as the woman with .4 mean husband, becadse the man has his career, his outside' interests! he can get away from, his wife, but the woman is bound to her home, and its interest, and she must find her con tent with life there or else miss it entirely. Knowing, then, how much greater risks her daughter runs in marriage than her ton, why does a woman drive her girls to marry, and her boys to stay single? The old answer used to be that mat rimony was a matter of money so far as girls were concerned. Parents wished to shift their expense on hu t- "T'U,""""'""'" 'i".
