The Colorinq Matter.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, the govern
ment's famous food expert, was talk
ing about the adulteration of wines.

salesman discussing a new price list
with his father The father was going
to buy some wines. He turned page
after page of the list, ticking off his
selections with a pencil.
Look here, son. he said. how is it
that your red wines are all dearer
than your whites?'
Why said the son Indignantly,
do you think that crimson lake costs
rnothing?'"

" milestone in her career which is
marked by the frightening of
her frocks and the turning up of her
braids she is SO deeply concerned
about the fashion of doing her hair
as any debutante is over the question
of puffs or no puffs. Candidly, the
subject of hairdressing means more
to the girl who wears her braids up
for the first time than it does to her
older sister, declares a writer in the
New York Herald. She has nothing to
guide her in the way of former ex-
perience, and she does not always get
that sympathetic help older sisters
might render if they remembered how
important the couture is to the school
girl
Because it is an arrangement new to
her and to her friends she can learn
what becomes her only by trying the
various styles which are approved by
fashion. She must devote a good deal
of study to her head and her face.
She must consider carefully the poise
and shape of her neck; then after she
has studied herself due thought should
be given to the styles of hairdressing
themselves, and she must choose just
that one out of the many, ranging
from the jaunty to the classic, which
becomes her best. And, above all,
it should always be remembered that
simplicity is the keynote of girlish
hairdressing. Elaborate and imposing
effects are not only bad taste, but they
make a young girl look ridiculous in
stead of sweet and charming and
simple.
Doing the hair up does not mean
that the hair is actually arranged on
the top of the head. The '-up" is
used comparatively in contrast to the
hanging braids or curls worn by girls
under Ia. In general way the young
girls couture is following in the lead
Of the one adopted by fashionable
women. 1t suggests ever so slightly a
Grecian effect by reason of it's full
ness at the back of the head. Wheth-
9r the hair is done in one or two coils
Or is braided and then pinned up,
prominence is given to it at point
midway between the crown of the
head and the nape of the neck. This
slight change distinguishes it from the
low coil which was worn last season,
and it also makes it more difficult to
wear becomingly. A well-shaped head
is required to set it off advantageous
ly and give it a smartness that is not
characterized by a lumplike arrange
ment at the back of the head.
simple way to manage this style
of dressing is to roll the sides of the
hair back from the face, either from
a middle part or straight back from
the forehead, and twist it all together
in a double loop, pinning the coils
across the head in a horizontal line
instead of having them follow verti-
cal axis. With a hat this dressing
looks particularly well. Girls will find
it little trying at other times, how
ever, on account of the sudden projec-
ton it makes just under the crown of
| the head. When this is not becoming
| it can be made by leaving the hair
fluffy over the top of the head and
! with a softness again in the arrange
ment of the hair low in the neck.

The Best Broom Corn.

The best broom corn raised for
whisk brooms is that which is pro-
duced in Rice and Reno counties. 1t
is the dwarf corn and brings as high
as $125 per ton, says the Wichita Star.
This is the highest price paid for
whisk broom corn. 1t is not an I'M
common thing for Sterling brush to
bring twice the price offered for any
other brush raised. 1t is said that all
of the brush used for whisk brooms
in the United States is raised in Kan
SaS.

PIowed Corn in a Dress Suit.

Historical item from the Atchison
Globe: "The first dress suit that ever
came to Kansas came with the aid
from Boston during the dry summer
of 1860. Some rich man in the east
contributed it. having outgrown it, and
a farmer named PaswelI, in Kapioma

in it all summer"

A New Crop Killer.

in that section. 1t is stated that dur

Western Kansas the atmos phere was
so charged with electricity that the
wheat and other vegetation was burnt
so that it was nearly destroyed. Most
of it is dark and dead looking and

Latest Kansas Events.


Some of the students and members
of the faculty of the Kansas Agri-
cultural college are not satisfied with
the present name of the school and
they wish to change it. The Stu
dents Herald, the paper printed by the
students, has come out with the word
AGRICULTURAL omitted from the head
ings. The paper contained a long edi-
torial saying that the use of the word
was a mistake. It is the contention
that the word agricultural is a mSs-
homer when applied to the school. The
Herald wishes to have the college
called either the Kansas State college
or the Kansas Technical school. When
the school was organized it was to-
teach agriculture, and the government
has given the college much land in
Kansas on the condition that agricul-
ture should be taught there and that
it should be an agricultural college.
1t will be remembered that, several
years ago, one of the professors who
taught agricultural subjects objected
to being labeled a professor of agri-
culture and demanded that he be
called professor of agronomy, which
means the same thing but sounds
better.

A Kansas Campaign Story.

Congressman Ed MandiSon tells d

ought to make even the old goddess, Of

fact that back in 1924, and for Two
years after, corn sold in Kansas for 10
cents Il hushcl. In other words a man
had to- raise a bIshel Of corn for the
price of 4 shave. Today corn is selling
at 20 cents busilel.

The Banks That Failed.

interesting information regarding the
final outcome with reference to the 10
New York financial concerns that

these three were national banks. eight
were state banks and four trust COM

600 depositors the immense sum Of

company closed its doors october %.
with s49.OOO,000 due the depositors.
other banks closed at various times
subsequently and there was a great
deal of worry and uneaSineSS and a
great many people were positively
certain that they were going to lose
all their money. The leaders of busl-
ness in the metropolis took counsel
with the secretary of the treasury and
the state superintendent of banking,
There were troublous times. it is true,
but as it turned out none of the de-
positors have lost anything but per-
haps little sleep. A statement is
made on what appears to be good au-

cial institutions which failed within
year in New York city has paid up
every dollar due the GepOSitOrS and
they are going along doing business

Bryan on Panics.

Philadelphia Public Ledger
When Mr.. Bryan speaks on pan!cs he
is on dangerous ground There are two
kinds of panicS one is due TO bad
crops, tn" inability of the farmers and
producers to secure adequate prices for
their produce and wares, and. in Il
word, to a balance on the wrong side
Of the great and nlultilarious business
of nation. That is real hard times
There is another sort of panic. IT or
igilatcS in fear.
Mr.. BRYAN need not labor to prove
that we have recently had, and are now
suffering from. d touch of hard times
1t is hard times due to a long period
OF agitation and fear that legislatures
ana people had gone mad. and to a
f"rcboding that there would, or might,
be an cXultation of the spirit of Bryan
ism.
Tho panic of 1893 to which Mr. Bryan
alludeS was oCcaSicncd directly by the
Immediate danger of free silver, repu-
diation and confusion due to the silver
purchase practice of the United States
treasury a like danger and like fear
would have been present if the tariff
had been high, low or moderate. The
danger to the country that has aWak-
enci uneHsincSS and alarm to business
during cur recent history has been due
TO the danger of fiat money under one
form OF another whether free silver or
GrccnbackiSm. Mr. Bryan was an cf-
fectivc agent in bringing the alarm to
Il crisis, because under his banner were
grouped not only all those men affected
by fiat money delusionS, but that
mighty army nf rainbow chasers who
think that the government is the one
human agency from which they may
expect ana demand the Immediate re
lization of Il perfect world with hui

qualities

In a letter written to the editor of
the United Mine Workers Journal,
John Mitchell, former president of the
United Mine Workers, makes it plain
that he has not. as certain persons
have claimed. taken part in this
campaign in the interests Of any
Presidential candidate. He says:
"As l understand the policy of the
American labor movement and the ac-
ton OF the United Mine Workers of
America. it is that the organizations
of labor are not committed to any
political party
This should be a sufficient answer
to those who have been guilty of
falsely attributing to Mr.. Mitchell
views which he has never entertained
or expressed.
