A GIRL IS EDITOR.
Washburn ''Suffragettes'' Elect Mazda
Gardner to Head Review.

The suffragette movement has ex-
tended to Washburn college. At a lively
meeting of the students this morning
Mazda Gardner, a girl in the junior
class, was elected editor of the Wash
burn Review, the weekly college news
paper.
This is the first time in a number of
years that a coed has been given this
position. The work of managing the
makeup of the paper, writing the edi-
torials and chronicling the college
events has always been left to the men
of the college.
Miss Gardner was elected without
opposition.
The election of associate editor was
real college contest. When the votes
were counted it was found that Henry
O'Brien and Ben Franklin each had
rs votes There was an extra vote
credited to O'Henry. 1t has been dis
covered that this vote was cast by one
of the professors who didn't know
O'Brfen's name, despite the fact he
was member of one of his classes.
This probably will be given to O'Brien.
1t means that he will be the associate
editor for the coming school year.
Ray Yarnell was elected local edi-
tor and Chester Davis business mana
ger. The staff elected today will choose
the reporters and under editors.
One feature of the election was the
manner in which the students drowned
an amendment to the constitution
which was suggested by the instructor
of journalism in the college. This
professor proposed a clause allowing
all members of journalism classes re-
ceiving a grade of "B" or over to be
eligible to place on the Review.
The students believed that a mem
Der of the Review staff should earn his
place by writing for the paper as has
been the custom in the past and they
voted down the amendment with an
overwhelming vote.
The election was free from the
usual fraternity and barb politics.
Not an issue came up in the campaign.
1t was an election on merit alone.

RICH WIDOW ASKS SHARE.
Mrs. Amos Babcock Demands Million
From Syndicate.

Chicago, May 1s.-Troubles involv-
ing the construction in 1885 of the
Texas state capitol at Austin by a
syndicate, members of which were for
mer United States Senator Charles B.
FarwelI of Illinois; John V. Farwell.
forme r Congressman Abner Taylor and
Colonel Amos C. Babcock, deceased,
Chicagoans, have appeared again in
the circuit court here.
The widow of Amos Babcock is the
plaintiff The defendants are John ".
Farwell, jr., and other heirs of the two
Farwell families.
The suit involved a claim running
from S1OO0,OOO to an amount which
may reach twice that sum. AS bonus
for building the Texas capitol, the
Farwell syndicate was granted three
million acres of Texas land. It is
claimed, there has been a heavy profit
from land and cattle sales and under
the contract with the Farwell interests
it is alleged that Mrs. Babcock and
other stockholders have not yet re-
ceived their just share.
It is said about 100000 head of
cattle are on the ranch at the present
time.

COMPLAIN TO STUBS.
Farmers Union Wants a Better Deal
on Binding Irvine.

The troubles between the farmers
unions and the binding Irvine plant at
the state penitentiary have been
checked up to Governor Stubs, and
his excellency will act in the matter
as soon as he has investigated the
facts of the case.
The unions complain that the Irvine
from the state plant is sold to the re-
tail dealer one cent cheaper than to
the farmers direct. They want the
wholesale price.
The prison management take the
stand that only one-eighth of the out
put of the plant is sold to the farmers
direct and that a large part of the
product would be left on hand if a
lower price was not made to the
merchants, as they will not handle the
Irvine without profit. AS it is now
the penitentiary Irvine is sold at six
and one-half cents to the merchants
and seven and one-half cents retail to
the farmers. The trust Irvine costs the
farmer over eight cents. Farmers
ordering Irvine in carload lots can get
it at the wholesale price.
The idea that the farmer cannot buy
the Irvine at all from the prison is a
mistake. He can buy it at the retail
price

TRUSKETT APPEAL FILED
Montgomery County Murder Case
Is, Reaches Supreme Court.

The appeal papers in the case of the
state against A. A. Truskett, convicted
in the Montgomery county court of the
murder of ]. D. S. Medley, We're filed
in the supreme court today by Chas.
D. WEIGH, attorney for the defendant.
Truskett was found guilty of second
degree murder and sentenced TO
prison for life. The plea of the de-
tense is that Truskett killed Medley in
self defense and also that his mind
was affected by what he believed to
be his wrongs at the hands of Neeley.
The murder occurred in Caney, and
on account of the prominence of the
principals attracted the attention of
southeast Kansas to the case during
the two weeks of the trial in the
Montgomery county court.
Medley was the president of the
Wichita Gas company and wealthy
oil man of Lima, Ohio. Truskett had
just launched into the oil business in
Oklahoma and lived at Caney, Kan.

A Few 'Cascarets'
Cure Constipation
Pleasant, Gentle, Though the Most Eff
fective Remedy in the World for
Sluggish Bowels or "A Lazy Liver.

In the old days physic was dreadful
-calomel, castor oil, salts or cathar-
tics. And they were worse than they
seemed for they irritated the stomach
and bowels. They acted much as pep
per acts on the nostrils. They flooded
the bowels with fluids. But those
fluids were digestive juices. And a
waste today means a lack tomorrow.
You secured relief, but you were act
ually worse off than without 1t.
It's different with Cascarets. Their
effect is the same as that of laxative
foods, or of exercise They stimulate
the bowels to natural action. No grip
ing. They act as a bowel tonic.
The old way, too. was to take large
doses of physic. People waited until
the bowels were clogged. The new
way is to take one Cascaret when
you need it. Carry the box in your
pocket or purse. Ward off the trou-
bles instantly. The modern plan is to
keep at your best. The old way vast
ed too many good hours. Get a 10 cent
box of Carcarets now.

President Cooper in his annual ad-

Southern Exhibit in Washington.

ii
The Southern Commercial Congress
is preparing to open in Washington,
on October 1, a permanent exhibit
of Southern products, manufactures
and resources. A floor space of $500
square feet, in one great room, will
be used in the new Southern Build
ing. It will be accessible from 18th
street and also from the corridors of
the building, and will be made one OF
the points of interest to be seen by
all visitors to Washington.
The mural decorations will be used
to emphasize the points Of resource
in which the south leads the nation:
coast line, navigable streams, water
powers, rainfall, wet lands, soils,
growing hours, forests, minerals. The
sixteen columns Of the great room
will each be used to emphasize the
important features of one of the
sixteen states embraced in the work
of the Southern Commercial Con-
gress.
The exhibit will be so arranged as
to impress every casual visitor with
the main features of the south's COM
ing greatness, while detailed inform
alton will be ready for those who
wish to study the subject more deep

ganizations working for community
development have unanimously hailed

Commercial Congress nearer to the
realization Of its slogan For a

Sweet Potatoes.

This crop has not heretofore had
the recognition that it deserves at
the hands of Louisiana farmers. This
has probably been due, in part, to
the ease with which the crop is
grown, to the limited market, and
to an oVer-emphasis of certain So
called money crops. Now, however,
the Louisiana Experiment Stations
have shown that the sweet potato
is. one Of the most profitab bile crops
for the production of hogs, and more
attention and a larger acreage will
probably be devoted to it. Also, the
demand for canned potatoes is rap
idly increasing and the general mar
ket is expanding. We may, therefore,
look for a largely increased produc-
ton of potatoes in Louisiana during
the next few years.
The sandy soils are best adapted
to growing potatoes. The variety
planted should be determined by the
use to which the crop is to be put
For that part of the crop to be used
on the table the different varieties
of yams should be planted; but If
the crop is to be hogged-off, the
Southern Queen or some other of,
the larger varieties should be grown.
Sweet potatoes may be planted at
any time from frost time to the mid
die Of July. It is, therefore, not
too late to increase the potato acre
age in Louisiana
Grazing experiments made at the
Experiment Stations showed that
750 pounds OF pork can be produced
net per acre of potatoes by feeding
to hogs on such pasture suitable
concentrated feed Such concentrate
should be rich in protein, because
potatoes are carbohydrate or fat
forming food The protein concen-s
trate balances the feed by supplying
the necessary blood, flesh and fiber
forming material Among such con
centrated protein feeds are rice pol
ish, wheat shorts, eottonseed meal,
peas and peanuts Cottonseed meal
should be fed sparing1y and for not
morer than two weeks at a
time. Some other ration should
then be- fed for a week.
when the coftonseed meal may again
he fed for two weeks. The other
concentrated feeds are free from
danger. a. good plan is to plant pea
nuts and sweet potatoes in the SINE
field, and hog them off at the saEae
time. The animals then balance their
rations themselves, without the use
of any other feeds.
This plan Of supplying pasture
crops in balanced form to hogs may
also be accomplished by setting aside
for theE1 a. field Of corn and coWpeaS.
The corn supplies the energy and
fat-forming material, and the peas
supply the necessary protein. In
either case, the farmer is saved the
trouble and expense of harvesting
the crops.
