Decree of Federal Court Puts an End
to Combinations to Control
Output or Prices.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-For the purpose OF
destroying the alleged substantial
monopoly of the aluminium trust, an
agreed decree was entered in the
United States district court here
against the Aluminium Company OF
America. The decree abrogates al
legged unlawful contracts and the COM
pany is forbidden to participate in any
combination or agreement to control
the output or prices of aluminium.
The decree may be modified upon
the production of evidence that it is
working an injustice. Application for
modification, however, cannot be
made oftener than once in every three
years.

TO SUE FOR THEIR DIPLOMAS
TOPEKA BOYS REFUSED TO
WEAR CAP AND GOWN.
Washburn College Withheld Parch-
ment Because of This, and
Seniors Resort to Law.

Topeka, Kansas-Suit to compel
the faculty of the law department or
Washburn college to deliver diplomas
to Waldo Morris and o. E. Waggoner,
both of Topeka, seniors in the law
school, will be filed in the Shawnee
county district court. The students
allege they are entitled to the dlplo'
mas and that because they refused 10
wear the cap and gown" at the com
mencement exercises, the diplomas
were denied them.
The petition will cite that Wagon
err and Morris were successful IN
passing the regulation examinations
which entitled them to diplomas from
the law department. When the plans
for the commencement exercises were
made known, Morris and Waggoner
announced they would not wear the
cap and gown
The faculty members thereupon de-
cided that the recalcitrant seniors
should not receive diplomas. This
stand was upheld by the board OF
tru stees of the college at a special
session.
The announcement of the boards
action resulted in the plans for
mandamus suit.
Both Morris and Waggoner are
from prominent Topeka families. Re-
ligious scruples held by their par
ents against the commencement dress
regulations is the reason they assign
for their refusal to don the "cap and
gown"

An elder while baptizing converts at

whether there was any reason why
the ordinance of baptism should not

powerful-looking man who was look

Elder, I don't want to interfere in

any good; you'll have to anchor him
out in deep water over night. Life.

Maps by Daylight.

thousands OF women are lar too
busy ever to think of taking a nap
in the daytime. They would laugh
at the suggestion were it made to
them. When one tells these busy
women that they are nervous and
in need Of repoSe, and that they
may preserve their youth, strength
charm by taking regular rest by
daylight, they shake their heads
and smile with pity on the foolish
advisers. If a woman's occupation
is that of a cashier, clerk or stenog-
rapher she has no choice except to
devote herself TO the task in hand
and ignore the fact that she is
weary until the allotted time of
work is over. If she is a mother
with little children making all sorts
OF demands. she knows very well
that her attempt at daytime sleep
will probably prove a failure. There
are great many IFS" that present
themselves as obstacles of an in
Superable nature when tired and
busy women try to secure rest in
the morning or afternoon. Yet it
is true that where there's a will
there's a way" Five minutes or
ten minutes level rest on a sofa
will work wonders when one is
weary, if only there is perfect re-
taxation from tension.
The best choice for a daytime
nap varies with the individual.
Sometimes it is we'll to select a half
hour before luncheon. Food is
more easily digested and aSsimilat-
ed when the body has had a period
of rest than when one comes to the
table with depleted brain tissue. If
the nervous energy has been very
strongly taxed md is nearly ex-
hausted before eating, dyspepsia
may be the resulting consequence.
To lie down Immediately after a
meal is not so good a plan as to
delay doing so until an hour or
more may have passed.
Those who have the care of little
children ought to insist on their
having time to sleep by daylight.
The mother of child not much
over two told a friend that she did
not allow her little daughter to take
nap through the day, because she
wanted to put her to bed at six
o'clock and be sure that she would
sleep all night. The child was high
strung and fretful, thin and pallid
and though she slept all night as her
mother wished, she was neither
rosy nor plump, nor yet good hum
ored during the day. The rapidly
developing brain was not receiving
its proper amount of repose. Until
a child is seven or eight years old
the wise mother will encourage the
habit of lying down for a while
every day in the dark, with eyes
shut, whether sleep comes or stays
away.-The Christian Herald.

Silos.

The farmers of this part of Mis-
souri, are getting wise to the advan-
tages of the silo, especially in the
territory contiguous to Monroe
City. Three years ago the Robey-
Robinson Lumber Co., sold several
silos to farmers in this immediate
neighborhood which have proved so
great a success that at the close of
the present season there will be
over 70 silos in the territory ada
cent to Monroe City.
The firm of Conway & Proctor
have sold % this season, two of
which are of the tile and concrete
pattern. Robey.Robinson Lumber
Co., have sold number of silos
during the spring, while Alex Grit
fifth and other local agents have
made a number of sales. Ofcourse
the season for buying silos is about
over but from present indications is
not unreasonable to say there will
be nearly 80 Yilos filled in this i'm
mediate vicinity.
The advantages of silage is be-
yond dispute, in fact it is not alto
gether new idea. Its use is rap.
idly becoming imperative in view
of the fact that it is becoming
known and realized that this is one
of the favored spots of the earth
and in consequence the price of
farm land is rapidly advancing so
that the methods of farming must
change to meet the advance. When
land was worth only 500 per acre
the farmer could waste 40 to so per
cent of the crop produced and then
make fair living. But now in view
of the high price of clothing and
the general equipment for farming
methods must change to suit exist
ing conditions.
The day is not far away when the
farmer will be censured for trying
to winter his cattle on lot dry corn
fodder and rotten hay principally
composed of water grass and rag
weeds. We shall endeavor to pub
fish the experience. in the neal
future, of some of those who own
silos in this neighborhood.
