They object to the name of lobbyists"
and say that they are not to be In the
law-making halls for lobbying, but
for the task of seeking legislation

One of the measures will take shape
in a bill of their own, drafted during
the committees session. and to be
presented probably through the House
Committee on Education. It is that
providing for an advisory committee
of women TO cooperate with the
Boards of Trustees of the schools of

At first the matter of the represen-

RATES TO BE LOWER.
Statement That Water Charges Would
Be Higher Incorrect.

For the benefit of the heavy consum-
ers of water in the city who have
claimed for some time that The rates
which they were required to pay for
their water supply were exorbitant the
city water commission has asked the
council to sanction a change in the
schedule. For the fourth 5000 cubic
feet of water a charge of 16 cents per
900 gallons instead of 20 is proposed;
for the fifth 5000 feet II cents. instead
of IS; and for the next 5000 and up 8
cents instead of 10 cents. The matter
is in the hands of the ways and means
committee. The following is the pro-
posed schedule:
For first 1000 feet 45c per 1000 gals
For second 1000 feet 40c per 1000 gals.
For third 1000 feet 32c per 1000 gals.
For fourth 1000 feet 26c per 1000 gals.
For fifth 1000 feet 24c per 1000 gals.
For second 5000 feet &c per 900 gals.
For third 5000 feet 21c per 1000 gals.
For fourth 5000 feet 16c per 1000 gals.
For fifth 5000 feet lie per 1000 gals.
For next 5000 and up &c per 1000 gals
III gallons to one cubic foot.
1t has been enormously reported that
1t was proposed to increase the rates.

that he has tried all kinds of hay for

comes more insistent and from remote
and unexpected quarters, but the sup
the market exchanges did not list al
falfa as an article of commerce, but
after conditions forced it's recognition
it's product has ranged higher in the
DALI quotations than has any other
hay The use of it on the farms whsre
grown is constantly increasing as well.
Congenial Conditions Exist Here.
THAT Kansans appreciate this situa-
ton is shown by the increased areas
devoted to alfalfa, as revealed by the
statistics annually compiled by tho
state board of agriculture. Alfalfa
seems to find in Kansas the conditions
congeniaI to it's best growth and de-
velopment. Realizing this Kansans are
taking advantage of their opportuni-
ties, and doing more and more their
part to supply the worlds wants. The
state early acquired the lead in alfalfa
growing, and from the latest available
statistics it appears that she has nearly
twice as much land in this crop as it's
closest competitor. According to the
