How to Save Wisely.

1t takes a wiser man to save money
than to earn it. The man of moderate
income who saves wisely is better off
at the time of life when savings are

tial Savings bank, where it will be Sc

you can't lay by a definite amount each
week or month get one of those little

drop your money in as you can, taking
it to the bank to be emptied as you see

from the date it is banked. It's well
worth investigating. The bank is open

Sistant attorney general, to be in readi-
ness to testify before Examiner Ferris
either today or tomorrow in the gov
ernments suit, seeking to dissolve the
New Jersey corporation, under the
Sherman antitrust law, has been re-
ceived with interest.
The appearance of Mr.. Rockefeller as
a witness, will mark the initial appear
ance of any member of the Rockefeller
family on the witness stand in this
city since the taking of testimony be-
gan in the federal building. He will be
asked to explain why and to whom
more than 1920, 100000 was lent by the
Standard Oil company of New York
last year, over and above money loaned
or transferred to Standard Oil inter-
estS. n
Mr. Rockefeller in addition to being
assistant treasurer of the New Jersey
corporation, is treasurer of the Stand
ard Oil company of New York and Mr..
Kellogg thinks that he should be able
to explain the entire transaction with
out trouble.
While William G. Rockefeller has not
a share of stock in the Standard of
New Jersey under his own name, he
has for many years been actively in
terested in the affairs of the company.
During the first two weeks of hearings
before Examiner Ferris Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter visited the court room every day and
listened attentively to the testimony.
Lately he has remained away.
1t is likely that no other member of
the Rockefeller family will be called as
a witness by Mr.. Kellogg, for he decid

the case unless absolutely obliged to-

SHE LIKES THE Stage.

Miss Evelyn Vaughan. who plays
the opposite part to Ralph Stuart, the
star of s-Strongheart'' which was pro-
duced at the Grand last night and
which will be presented there again
tonight, is quite as attractive and
fascinating off the stage as she is on
it.
Maybe there's a reason for this in
the fact that Miss Vaughan is almost
product of Kansas All good things
seem to grow here and Miss Vaughan
promises to be one of the best of them
of the theatrical output.
She has only been on the stage for
six short years and during that time
has met with success and failures, the
latter to- which she confesses and the
former to which she is difident about
saying a word. But her failures have
been few and no one would know of
them unless she proffered the infor-

That is possibly another attribute
of her Kansas rearing for the failures
of Kansas folks are so few, when COM
pared with their successes that the are
not worth mentioning except in most
personal way.
Miss Vaughan is a daughter of Mrs.
Georgia Brown, who was a teacher OF
dramatic. art at the K. U. university for
who is now a teacher of dramatic art in
Kansas City, Mo-. where she has a big
school The Browns settled in Law
