anced in outline, or whose hairdress-
ers know how to conceal any defect
in that regard
The pretty hair-dress pictured here
is SO easy of arrangement that any
one may undertake it. The chignon
at the back, of puffs and curls. is
pinned to a coil of hair twisted firmly
and fastened close to the head to
serve as a support. No attempt at
regularity in placing the puffs or
curls is apparent.
The front hair is loosely waved.
parted in the middle and rolled back
at the sides. The ears In this, as in
all the fashionable coiffures. are con-
cealed. 1t is the softness of the hair
about the face and the charm Of curls
at the back that make this style al
ways admired and never passe.
A coronet of filigree silver is worr
in this particular instance. For thii
style only coronets or bands are II
strict keeping. They add immensel!
to the finished effect.

COOPERATION REALLY PAYS
Farmers Of Central Kansas Form Or
aanIzation for Purpose OF Buying
and Selling Crops

Ten cars of seed wheat, sold at
long advance over Kansas City prices.
were shipped by the Lost Springs
(Kansas) farmers union this year. In
addition a large quantity OF seed was
sold in smaller lots. This extensive
marketing of high priced seed wheat
was made possible by cooperative
growing and selling.
Lost Springs is a small town IN Gen.
trail Kansas. It is in a rich farming
region. The farmers grow good crops
and they determined to get the best
prices for them. So they organized
A union and now they do their own
buying and selling in large lots. When
the union was organized the number
of its members could easily have been
counted on the fingers of two hands.
Cooperation might be good thing
but most of the farmers in the coun'
try near Lost Springs desired to be
shown before they Joined. They soon
were converted, writes Floyd B. Mich
OILS. in the Orange Judd Farmer. Now
the membership has increased to oveI
so. Almost all of the farmers within
ten miles OF Lost Springs belong to the
union.
So far this year the union hal
shipped 81 cars of wheat to be solt
for milling purposes. The whea
that was shipped to the central mar
kets brought an average Of five cent?
a bushel, after the freight and othe
expenses were paid, more than tn
local buyers offered. They hav
shipped q cars of corn and MIN
cars of oats, which we're sold at tw'
to six cents advance over the price
offered by the local buyers.
The union also has handled 60
bushels of kafir corn, 500 bushels can
seed. 225 gallons of kerosene and 4
gallons of gasoline so far this year:
Thus, by the system Of Distribute
which the Lost Springs farmers hav
worked out the middleman Is elm
mated. The producer and consume
can divide his profits.
Seed wheat Is one Of the specia
ties of the members Of this associ'
ton. Every farmer grows pure Kharl
of wheat-wheat that was reporte
as excellent by a representative

sas agricultural college last Jun

Richest Indian Tribe to Name

a eighteen months away, the Usage
citizens are beginning to discuss the
natter Of q successor to Governor
Harry Kopay, a full-blood. who holds
the once by the good graces OF the
Asecretary of the interior.
That Kopay expects to be candi-
date seems to be a foregone conciu-
sion, and that he will inject into the
eampaign much Of the white mans
strategy and ginger is probable.
Being q graduate Of Carlisle. kopay
las the advantage Of many other men
Il the tribe in political ability:
Kopay has been on the pay roll OF
the United States government as an
8 smploye In q clerical capacity IN the
once of the Indian agent at Pawhuska
for several years.
When the last biennial election was
held last June. Kopay was selected as
secretary Of the council. Bacon Rind'
one Of the sage men OF the Osages'
was elected governor.
His alleged activities in the inter
ests Of the Uncle Sam Oil company
caused his removal by the secretary
Of the interior, and Kopay was ap-
pointed acting governor to I'LL the un-
expired term.
Bacon Rind succeeded ALI Brown, q
part-blood Usage, who was one OF the
wisest men that has filed the execu-
tive chair In the history OF the ma
ton.
The Osages are divided, to some
extent, by q line that marks the west.
srn boundary of the 100000 acres OF
land held under lease by the Indian
Territory Illuminating OIL and Gai
company.
~ Bacon Rind was accused Of hobnob
bing with an oil company In their ef
fort to get lease on the western nal
Of the nation.
The most important Of these Is
law that will permit the Indian u
transfer with his title full title u
the mineral value Of the land. Unde
present laws, an Usage. under certain
conditions, may sell his land, but tn
title to the oil and gas resources i
held in the government, and tn
royalties derived from the sale o
these products are credited to fun
regularly distributed among the IL
dams.
Il Is held by those demanding ne'
lDw that the development OF the couI
~ Is being retarded because of thi
Ntriction. The lands are held to b
worth, on an average. SIS an acre fc

Another demand Is for a law tns
vfll protect the streams Of the Osae
nation from the pollution that nece
sarily arises from the hundreds OF

The waters of many streams al

of such inquiries indicate that the
Legislative mind is running largely to-
ward legislation for workmen compen-

for the protection of the laboring man,
the other to protect the investor from
financial wild cat plans. The compen-
sation act which appears to have the
greatest amount et consideration given
it is one based somewhat on the
Washington act which is a compulsory
one, and not optional on the part of
either the employer or the employee.
Outside these two leading ideas, next

toward a state warden system rather
than the present county plan of ward

also getting ready to push their ideas
of state aid for rural schools, and their
demand for more extended normal
facilities and with that Formal train

R. R.. COMMISSION
Some Suggestions to Be Made
to the Legislature

Pierre, Dec. 26.-The board of rail
way commissioners has submitted a re-
port to the governor and among the
Legislative recommendations they ask
that the legislature provide them with
a ~"traffic man." one who will be able
TO meet the testimony of traffic officials
of the railways who are the ones put to
the front in all suits on rates against
the companies, to provide for appeals
direct from the railway commission to
jhe supreme court, to expedite matters
in rate orders which the commission
may make. Requiring the consent of
he commission before competing tele
phone systems are placed to cover the
same town or territory. Requiring
public corporations, including rail
ways, telephone and express conipan-
les to secure consent of the commits
sion before any issue of stock. bonds
or other securities can be made. An.
thorizing the commission to secure
physical valuation of telephone lines in
the state for the purpose of rate max
ing. And requiring railway, express
and telephone companies doing bust
ness in the state to make station re-
ports, for use in suits in which inter
state Questions are raised.
The report is a long detailed ore
covering the work of the board for
the past year. but the Legislative re
Communications appear to be the live
propositions they put forth in the
document.
