which affects the community at large,
but denying having entered into a
conspiracy in restraint Of trade. The
plan of the attorney general is to fix
the minimum price at which lumber
is to be sold or the margin of profit
over wholesale price. This would
have a general effect with the excep.
tion of one state lumber corporation,
which has a mill at Hugo and enjoys
intrastate freight rate sc less than the
interstate Arkansas rate. If the action
of the district court, is to declare that
the lumber business is of public con-
sequence and that the rates should
be fixed by the corporation commits
sion, it is probable that the custer
suits and the collection of the fine
will not be prosecuted against the
three Kansas corporations.
The original action in the custer
suit was started by the attorney gen.
eral on a complaint of the Farmers
Lumber and Supply Company, a To-
cal concern, all of the stock Of which
Ia held by farmers living near this
place. The Farmers company COM
planned that since they started into
business three old yards had lowered
the price of lumber to such an extent
that it was impossible for them to
sell at a profit.
The final outcome of the suit is
watched with great interest, as prior
to statehood the lumber companies
were supposed to have the best work
ing organization of any line of busi-
ness. There have been several inef-
fectual attempts at regulation ana
breaking up the alleged lumber trust,
but the custer suit filed here has been
the only real opportunity to test the
antitrust laws with respect to lum-
Der companies.

A DAUGHTERS SACRIFICE.
Russian Girl Chooses Deportation TO
Be With Father.

Houston, Texas, April 14.-Prefer-
ing to sacrifice a comfortable home
and an education in the United States
in order that she may be near and
care for her father in his declining
years, a pretty Russian girl of II
years took passage on German
steamer classed among the deported.
The young girl and her father were
passengers in the steerage when it
arrived in port a week before Two
brothers of the girl had preceded her
and her father to America and had
prepared a comfortable home for
them. The father and little sister
were sent for and the brothers were
on the pier to meet them.
1t developed. however, the father
was n sufferer from trachoma, which
under the immigration laws debars
officers made It known through inter
prefers that the girl could enter, but
the father must be deported on the
first steamer out of port for Germany.
When the little girl learned that they
were to be separated she threw her
arms around her father and cried, re-
fusing TO be comforted.
She protested to the officers, de
claring she would care for her father.
but the inspectors were firm and said
he must return. 1t was then that
the little miss dried her tears, set her
little foot down and in fluent Rus
sian told the officers they would not
be separated, that If her father could
not land she would not and that she
would return TO Russia with him. Her
father protested and implored her to
stay accepting his fate and agreeing
to return. But she refused and board
ed the steamer with him.
Standing by the rail OF the big
steamer she waved a farewell to her
brothers and her dreams of a new
life, while behind her, his eyes swim
ming in tears, stood the parent for
whom the sacrifice was made.

Mothers nowadays are teaching
their daughters to look out for the
fellow with the money"
Il want n home. All the girls I
know are society girls and have no
ideas along that line"
THE old story. The one I want
can get.
"Since girls have begun TO monop-
ollie positions in the telephone office
and as stenographers they have come
TO think there is nothing in life but
pleasure"
The use Of false hair has tended
TO make girls deceitful want TO
know what I am getting"

"Girls expect too much, and that has
scared me off"

there was another copy on the libra

that the agent had left it and
