SOCIALIST MAYOR MAY RESIGN
Two other Commissioners lenor,
Him, So He Cannot Have
His Way.

Girard, Kansas.-Mayor HoughtoI
is a Socialist, and being one of the
militant members of that party he
desires very much to carry out its
policies. But Mayor Houghton's
hands are tied. He cannot govern
Girard as the Socialists desire for the
very good reason that the two re
naming members of the city commits
sion do not believe in Socialism. One
is a Democrat and the other a Re
publican.
Because these two commissioners
wholly ignore Mayor Houghton it is
being rumored that he will be asked
to resign The Socialist local here
will do the asking. The mayors resig'
nation, properly made out and bear
ing his signature, so those who are
in a position to know declare, is al
this time held in escrow by the So
cialists local.

WILL SOON START CAPITOL
Find Ready SaIe-None at
Less Than Par.

Jefferson City, Mo.-The building
of a new state capitol for Missouri
probably will prove to be the largest
piece of public work ever undertaken
in Missouri, and as soon as the secre-
tary of state casts up the final re-
turns from the counties that work
will begin.
The act providing for the bonds
says they shall be issued by the state
board of fund commissioners and
shall be in denominations of $500 OF
$1,000 each, as the commissioners may
direct. The rate of interest must not
be more than 81 per cent and the
bonds must be redeemed 10 years af'
ter their issue. The state reserves
the right to redeem any or all of them
after eight years. They are to be sold
as the state officers may direct, but
none shall be sold for less than par.
1t is expected they will find ready
sale.

Battling the Mosquito.

Last summer we were pestered with
the awful nuisance, mosquitoes, night
after night, and on one occasion
killed between thirty and forty in our
bedroom, at midnight. The following
day took a wooden cloth, put little
kerosene oil on 1t, and rubbed both
sides of the wire mesh of the screens
with 1t. That night one lonely mos
quito disturbed our rest. Two or
three times each week 1 rubbed the
screens in like manner, and we en-
joyed peace the rest of the summer
The odor from the oil remains only g
few minutes, and the oil itself pre-
serves the screens and keeps away
fiies.-Good Housekeeping Magazine.

important to Mother,
Ended Cats sojourn.

Felix Smith of Easton, Pa, bought
cat the other day. He paid SIS for
her. Why did Felix pay five bucks
for the cat? Answer-Because she
was guaranteed to be a good ratter
Did Felix have rats? We should say
he did-the house was full Of emf
And the cat cleaned 'em out! No;
that's the curious part of it. After the
cat had been on the job a week the
rats were as plentiful as ever. Feliz
couldn't understand 1t until one eve
ming he concealed himself in the base
ment to watch the cat. About p. M
as the cat sat with her eye on rat
hole, Felix says that rat after rat came
out of the hole, walked up to the ole
cat, kissed her goodnight and then
returned to the hole. After that FeliS
kicked the cat out Of the house.-Bos

TELEPOST BUBBLE EXPLODED
QUICK TELEGRAPH SERVICE
COMPANY CLOSES OFFICES.
Were to RevoIutionize Telegraph
Business and Sold Much
stock.

Kansas City, Missouri.-The Kan.
sas City office of the Telepost COM
pany at SIS Delaware street is closed.
The doors are locked and Rudolph
Mueller, the manager is gone.
The closing of the office in Kansas
City, which was followed by the clos
ing of offices in Sedalia, Mo-, st. Louis,
Chicago and Boston, means the burst
ing Of another large stock selling
bubble. The company was promoted
by the Sterling Debenture company
of New York, which flooded the coun'
try with literature describing a new
system for the rapid transmission OF
kilograms and lettergrams.
The literature said the company
operated device that sent messages
very much faster than the system
used by the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies. The Telepost
reduced the price and sent so words
for the same price charged for ten
words by the two established tele-
graph companies. 1t had capacity
for a limited amount of service and
when the business went beyond its
capacity, it paid the Postal the regu'
lar prices to take care Of the excess.
The company operated at loss to
keep up the service while the stock
statesmen were busy gathering the
harvest.

A NEW CAPITOL FOR MISSOURI
Proposition to Build State House al
Jefferson City Carried-onIy
Two Counties Vote Against 1t.

Kansas City, Missouri.-The voters
of Missouri have authorized bond
issue of $3,50O,OO0 for the rebuilding
of the state capitol at Jefferson City
destroyed by fire little more than
six months ago.
There was no organized opposition
to the bonds. The sentiment was in
their, favor, and the industrious and
active campaign conducted by Jeffer'
son City bore fruit.
Twenty-three counties gave for the
capitol bond proposition 1922 and
against it 5,541. But two counties re-
turned majorities against the PROPOSE
tion They are Pettis and Benton.
Sedalia, the county seat of Pettis,
once wanted to be the capital
