HEARS THEIR TROUBLE.
Frank Bohr, a Kansan, Is Consular
Assistant at Berlin.

Berlin, June, 9-(By MaiD.-Most
Americans who .'go broke" while visit
ing In Berlin, or have disagreements
with their landlord, or who for any one
OF half hundred other reasons seek
soiace or advice at the American con-
sulate, tell their troubles to a Kansas
man. The Kansan is Frank Bohr of
Troy. Doniphan county. who holds the
position of consular assistant.
Bohr was sent to Berlin year ago
last January and now has a prominent
place in the life of the American colony
of the German capital. Hundreds Of
the casual visitors from the United
States meet him.
Born in Kansas.
Bohr was born in northeastern Kan
sas and attended the schools OF Troy
until he was old enough to enter the
State Normal school at EmpOria- He
alternated years of teaching with the
four years Of that course. graduating
in 1903. After that he went to the Uni
versity of Michigan. receiving his
diploma there in 1907 He took the gov
ernment's consular examination in
April. 1908, and passed with a good
grade. The appointment to Berlin was
greatly to his liking, for he is OF Ger
man extraction.
Rohr found, however, on reaching
Berlin that German, as spoken by the
natives and German 'as she is some
times taught in America, are very diff
ferent.
1T made many mistakes in my speech
when 1 came here" he said the other
day, ''but it was not long till | could
converse with anybody"
May Get Into Trouble.
The American consular assistant in
an important foreign capital is literally
a diplomatist-to a more literal extent
than many persons imagine. The aver
age American hears of few of the cases,
but the number of his eountrymen who
t'gets into trouble" abroad is not small.
Whatever the nature of the case 1T IS
almost certain to come to the attention
of the consul's office sooner or later.
The diplomacy of the consular assist
ant must be exercised in ironing out
the wrinkles to the satisfaction OF the
suffering American. if possible.
So Bohr of Kansas tells Americans
when they are in the wrong, but, un-
less the case is fragrant, does it in such
a way as to make them think they are
half right. His aggrieved countrymen
leave the office vowing that the Ameri-
can consular system is wonderful in
stitution Incidentally, Bohr spares his
chief the consul general. a vast
amount of worry and vexation.

WAGSTAFF IN MCPHERSON
Well Received in One of Stubs
StronghoIds.

Mcpherson, June 22.-Tueday was
Wagstaff day in Mcpherson county
Last evening Mr.. Wagstaff addressed a
large and enthusiastic gathering #
voters at this place. He was handi-
capped in his speech owing to the con-
dition of his voice, having caught A
severe cold at Florence Saturday night,
but notwithstanding his condition he
waded right into the issues of the cam
paign and gave the voters a heart TO
heart talk on the tax issue and the ex-
travagance of the present administra
ton.
Mr.. Wagstaff also touched upon the
inheritance tax law, stating that he
was absolutely opposed to a law that
placed a special tax upon the widows
and the orphans of the state. His
speech was well received and his friends
say many voters who were for Mr..
Stubs two years ago came forward
after the meeting and stated to Mr..
Wagstaff that they had voted for Mr..
Stubs because he had promised to cut
out useless expenditure of state money
and to give them a business admin
istration, but that they were now SAT
isfied that he had utterly failed to keep
his promise and they would work just
as hard this year for Mr.. WagStam IS
they had two years ago for Mr..
Stubs.
During the afternoon Mr.. Wagstaf
visited Lindsborg on a handshakinG
trip and made many friends. Two
years ago Governor Stubs carried this
county by over a thousand majority
but now even his friends admit that he
will not be able to carry it by half
that majority if he carries it at all.
Many of the men who were leaders FOR
him two years ago are now working
for Wagstaff, say the regular leaders.

waiting to receive General Wright but
Miss Ethel drove to the station in

er after luncheon and remained away

TWO YEAR COURSE.
Chicago High Schools Will Inaugurate
One september 4.

Chicago. June 22.-For the first
time in the history of the Chicago pub
lie schools, two years course is TO
be offered in the high schools, begin
ming September 1.
Announcement of the innovation will
be made by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young,
superintendent of schools. IN a bulletin
to all principals and to pupils who
will graduate from the elementary
schools this month
The purpose of the abbreviated
course is to check the tendency of
school children to leave school upon
graduating from the elementary
schools, or eighth grade. Less than
one per cent of Chicago's school chill
dren graduate from the high schools,
the chief reason assigned being finan-
ciaI inability to complete the four
years course.
Mrs Young investigated the subject
for several months and then recon-
mended the establishment of a short
course. The recommendation has been
approved by the board of education.

Dear Sir-Replying to your inquiry of
June ID, would state that the Victoria
seeds have been practically a failure
with us this year, and everyone whom
we have heard from has had poor sue

in the weather last summer which has
caused the seeds to be immature.
Thanking you for your inquiry, we
are.

Austin Has Ideas
Economy and Uniformity in Printing
County Records Are His Hobby.

w. c. Austin, of Cottonwood Falls,
was here yesterday and filed his nomi
nation papers for State Printer. Mr..
Austin was in the contest two years
ago and made remarkable race and
it was thought for time he had won
over Tom McNeaI. He is putting up a
strong contest this year, and feels GER
tain of the nomination.
Mr.. Austin is advocating two bust
ness propositions which he SAYS will
effect the saving of over $50.000.00 per
year, to the counties of the state. He
says that all County Records should be
uniform and that they should be made
at the State Printing Plant.
The Legislature authorized the State
Tax Commission to adopt a uniform
system of tax records and other rec
ords which account for public money.
This commission has recently adopted
the Cation system which is long step
in the right direction. All other coun-
the blank books used in keeping these
records should be made at the State
Printing Plant. Mr.. Austin said:
The counties of Kansas are paying
each year over $100,00000 for blank
books. If county records were uniform
and they were printed at the State
Printing Plant they could be furnished
to the counties at less than half their
present cost.
mot only would this effect a saving
each year, on the blank books used by
the counties, but much benefit would
come to the counties on account of the
uniformity of records. While a few
counties have very fair systems of rec
ords, most of the counties have poor
systems, and many counties run along
without any system whatever. By
having q uniform system, the best
could be taken from each county and
thus every county would have an i'm
proved system.
AT present if an accountant were to
undertake to examine the county rec
ords in the various county offices, he
would be compelled to learn a new
form of bookkeeping for each county,
while if all county records were uni
form. it would be an. easy matter for
the State Accountant to check up the
various counties.
Since the state owns one of the best
equipped printing plants in the coun-
try, and since that plant is supported by
the taxes Of the people, is there any rea-
son why the people should be compelled
to pay the Blank Book Trust 100 per
cent more for their county records,
than they can make them for at their
own printing plant.

FOUND A FOUR
LEAF CLOVER

T.. j. Altswager, Candidate for State
Treasurer, Made a Lucky Find.
Mr.. F. J. Altswager, who is a candi-
date for state treasurer, was in Topeka
recently to file his nomination papers.
The Hutchinson Daily News, in speak
ing of his return home, said that while
Mr.. Altswager was walking through
the state house grounds preparatory to
filing his nomination papers he found a
four leaf clover, and he believes it is a
good omen and that Mr.. Altswager will
be the next state treasurer
Perhaps Mr.. Altswager would stand
just as good a show being elected. if he
had not found the four leaf clover, as
he is one of the best and most able
men who have announced for that Of
flee. But inasmuch as most people be-
lieve in luck let it be so.
