For over so years 1 have lived IN
Shawnee county and for more than 20
years. 1 have been connected with To-
peka newspapers, eighteen of them
with the State Journal 1 have vol
UNFAIRLY resigned my position to enter
the race and expect to devote the next
month to the campaign.
The constitution of Kansas provides
that a sheriff should not be eligible
for more than two successive terms
and 1 hereby subscribe to that pro-
vision and pledge myself that neither
directly nor by subterfuge shall L ever
ask for third term.
NV record on the question of law
enforcement speaks for itself but for
fear that an effort may be made to
prejudice the voters, l wish to state
that 1 am familiar with the duties of
a sheriff and 1 would not ask for the
Office if I did not feel confident that
1 can perform those duties. I am I'M
equivocaily in favor of the law en-
forcement and I believe that public
officer who attempts to subvert or
nullify the laws he is.sworn to execute
should be ousted from office at once.
The duties of q sheriff are necessar-
lily varied and in the event of my cleo
ton 1 shall not give my attention
wholly to the clerical duties connect
ed with the office but shall go where
duty calls me.
1 shall make no personal promises
concerning the administration of the
affairs of the sheriff's office, but IL
1 am elected shall select as NV depu-
ties the most competent men 1 can
find who have clean records.
There should be readJustment OF
the fee and salary laws as applied to
county officers and I favor such re-
vision of the law as will give all Off
GERS a fair remuneration for their ser
vices and no more.
The custom has grown up OF spend
ing large sums in the campaign for
offices. I can not do this and
would not do so if L could. If 1t is
necessary to buy an office in shawnee
1 do not want it.
If 1 am elected 1 shall use my best
efforts to give the people of Shaw
zee county an honest, clean and rear
ess administration of the sheriff's |
office. 1t is one of the most impor- |
.ant offices in the county and the peo-
pie are entitled to an administration !
r harmony with the highest stand !

Miss Eva Hancock.

Atlanta, Ga, July Gillian Russell,
expert in all things pertaining to fem
mime loneliness, says that Miss Eva
Hancock is the prettiest working girl
in Atlanta. Miss Russell acted as judge
in recent contest in which many
working girls of this city, including
Miss Hancock, were competitors.
While deciding in favor of Miss Han
Geek, the fair Lillian incidentally threw
a bouquet into the lap of all southern
women.
Il have taken some time to make my
decision writes Miss Russell, because
1 could not arrive at a definite eonc1u-
sion at once. There were pictures of 50
many pretty girls. 1 think, however,
that Miss Hancock is entitled to the
distinction, She is indeed a most at
tractive girl, of a distinctly southern
type; and I have always been the ad-
mirer of the southern GIRL
Miss Russell, although on the eve Of
her marriage, the lucky man being
Alexander w. Moore, took time to go
over the many photographs submitted
to her ting taste. She recog-
nized the Importance of settling this
n1onentous question to the satisfaction
of the people of Atlanta, which city
has long been renowned for the beauty
Of it's working women.

START FUR RANCH
Kansan TO Cross Native Sheep
With Asiatic Breed.

duced i'm Kansas.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, July ca
sheep farm. which will be the first of
its kind in this part of the country,
which will produce a new hybrid ami
mai, by crossing American ewes with
karakule rams brought from Central
asia, has just been started on the L.
M. Crawford ranch in this county.
Inc karakule sheep, which are native
OF Asia, are valuable for the excellent
Ier they produce which is here called
Persian lamb and AEtrakhan fur, and
the object in crossing the Karakules
with native sheep is to produce a
hybrid which will thrive in this coun-
try and at the same time yield the
valuable fur of the Asiatic variety.
The new hybrid is the result of ex-
periments of D. c. c. Young who, for
several years, has carried on expert
ments on his ranch at Ell Paso, Tex.
and in connection with the government
experimental station.
In order to obtain the first Karakuie
rams Doctor Young made a trip to
Tibet and it was only after much diff
hculty and expense that several rams
were obtained and brought to this
country where the first hybrid was pro-
duced. 1t is the belief of both Doctor
Young and Mr.. Crawford. on whose
ranch here the new enterprise will be
tried out, that the sheep may be raised
successfully on western ranches in this
country and the fur production greatly
increased.
, Doctor Young says at present the
United States is sending annually near
ly Is millions dollars for these furs and
that if western ranchmen can raise
these sheep it viii doubtless become an
important industry.
In the shipments which have already
been received on the Crawford ranch
are 81 Karakule rams, Is of which
were brought from Asia. Besides
these there were also a number of
Karakule lambs which will be used for
breeding purposes next year. TO mate
with these more than 1000 ewes have
been brought from idaho, from Cover
nor Frank Goodness ranch. These ewes
are said to be of a breed which produce
the longest and silkiest wool of any
variety in this country and for this
reason will be the most desirable to
cross with the Karakules.

Hancock was engaged to make her first
matrimonial venture just one week
after Miss Russell had made her fourth.
Another bond between them. although
Miss Russell could not have known this
from the photograph is that both are
of the same striking blonde type.
Miss Hancock has a mass IF bronze
gold hair, which she wears always
piled up into a very stylish couture.
She has brown eyes, which sparkle
through long and plentiful lashes, and
her complexion is all her very own.
There is no paint or makeup on her
rounded face. and she confesses that
the powder she uses costs only twenty
five cents a BOX. She is five feet three
inches tall, and weighs 1877 pounds She
does not plead to any Ke1lerman exer-
cises or to any of the sports that those
in search of beauty sometimes adopt.
The man to whom Miss Hancock was
engaged at the time of the contest and
whom she has since married, is Roth

Miss Hancock used the money she
won in the contest to complete her
