as jelly-fish, worms, sponges. corals,

KANSAS MAYORESS
AGAINST A SNAG IN
HUNNEWEiL TOWN
Council of Male Gender
Shows Silent Contempt
to Her.

HUNNEWELL. Kan, April B.-Corn
may grow tall in Kansas and women
may get elected to the office of mayor
in Kansas, but after they get elected
they have their troubles, just like other
politicians do-in Kansas, the land Of
."vic" Murdock and William Allen
White, whose admonition to raise less
of a certain article and more corn has
not been followed to the letter.
All of which has been discovered by
s'Herroner'' Mrs. Ella Wilson. who Is
HunneweHs new mayoress. Mrs. Will
son is discovering that politics is poll
tics and that as such its essence is a
quid pro quo and much compromising.
Mayoress Wilson is learning all these
things gradually, after defeating a mas
culine candidate for the office Of chief
executive of this town, and following
her declaration of principles. This
declaration showed Mrs. Wilson to be
ambitious to do great things for Hun
newell and included bond issue Tor a
CITY hall, a woman chief of police, a
new, pure water supply (she also de-
clares there shall be no intoxlcants sol9
here) and a city physician to compel
proper ventilation of buildings.
But the Men Caucus.
Mrs. Wilson came pretty near being
counted out, but when she was finally
presented with the certificate Of cleo
tion. she announced that she would
appoint Mrs. Rose Osborn, defeated for
The place of police court judge, chief OF
police.
The male members of the council said
nothing. but held caucuses behind closed
doors. Then she said she would name
Mrs. Hilton city treasurer. More eau
cuses followed. Then she declared she
would make Hunnewel the model city
of Kansas. She outlined plan to pro-
vide amusements for the young and atm
letics for the girls. She also made some
remarks that were. UNDERSTOOD 10 pe

Members of the council were willing to
have pure water, no intoXicants, plenty
of amusement and athletic girls IN
'bloomers, but they felt hurt in the re-
gion of the pocketbook by the bond is
sue, and demurred.
Mayoress Is Determined.
Now there is grave question whether
Mrs. wilson's plans for general re-
form will be carried out. The city coun-
ell has indicated that it will not con-
firm any of "Herrroner's" appointments
unless they be men, and have vetoed
the bond issue plan. But the mayoress
has not lost heart, and declares she
will continue her efforts to make Hun
newell a model city.

NEW YORK, Feb. "a mat
trimonial ENHANCEMENT worthy
of the drama is revealed in the
voluntary effort of Wallace Miller
of Newburg to get a divorce, with
the purpose of permitting his wife
to marry another-the man of her
first love.
Ever since the days of her
childhood Mrs. Miller has retained
fervid memories of the "other
man." who Is said to be Charles
Smith of Newburg. Before she
married Miller she had girl and
boy love affair with Smith, but
owing to her youth her parents
refused to permit her to wed
Smith.
Disheartened, the young sutton
went west to seek his fortune, and
a short time afterward, when she
was yet young, the marriage to
Miller took place. For some
years Smith wrote regularly to his
sweetheart, but suddenly the cor
respondence was cut short. Then
came report that Smith was
dead.
On the day of the ceremony, as
the bridal party was coming from

TO AID "0THER' MAN

the church, the bride suddenly
stopped, with a bewildered cry, as
she saw a man standing in front
of the church. 1t was Charles
Smith, the former sutton, whom
she had believed was dead.
The temperance of Smith re-
awakened in his former sweet
heart the love of her youth. And
yet she had just become bound
by law and duty to another. For
a long time she kept her thoughts
secret. But, when Smith left
NewIburg for the west three years
ago Mrs. Miller went to her hus-
band and confessed that she was
still in love with the man who had
first won her heart.
The husband bore the blow
bravely and generously. He even
consented to permit her to go
west and meet Smith there. 1t
is said he sold the furniture of the
broken home and gave ner the
proceeds with which to make the
trip. In a few weeks Mrs. Miller
returned to Newburg, but soon de-
parted again. She Is now IN the
west and Mr.. Miller has brought
divorce proceedings to give her
freedom.

CHINA'S OPIUM CRUSADE A JOKE
Acres TO Each
Alone While Men and Women Smoke Hop by

| PEKIN, China, Feb. 27.-When
the Chinese government recognized
the death grip the opium habit had
on the people, 1t issued an edict
prohibiting the further growing of
the opium poppy. 1t gave the
people time to plant their fields
with other crops: and the govern
ment officials who smoked the
drug time to break the habit. That
was the official announcement to
other nations.
But China is really making but
little effort to stamp out the bust
ness. Travelling westward from
lSianfu, along the plain bounded
on the south by the lofty Tsinlins
mountains and on the north by the
Wei river, is the road to Huhsien.
For 3 miles out from the capital
poppy is being cultivated in places
hidden from the road by other
vegetation, a pretence made poss-
ible by the undulating character
of the country.
From Huhsien there is no at.

Exception of the low-lying parts oil

Huhsien to Meihsien by the road
is 20 miles, while the width OF
the plain varies from five to ten
miles, giving a superficial area OF

two=thirds of this space is occupied
by poppy, representing some 200,
