HOPE FOR WOMEN or FIFTY
Time When She Should Ee Philo.
sophlcal and Prepared for Wise
Old Age.

There are people today asking with
all appearance Of sincerity what q

observers. Is done. A common sugges-
tion Is that they be utilized in poll
ties. This suggestion has It's comical
side. Miss Tarbell declares. A per-
son who has nothing to do after fifty
years of life IN business as many
sided and demanding as that OF a
woman can hardly be expected to be
worth much in a business as COM
plicated and uncertain as politics and
for which she had had no training.
The notion that the woman's business
is ended at fifty or sixty is fantastic
In the extreme. 1t only ends there II
she has been blind to the meaning Of
her own experiences; If she has never
gone below the surface of her task
never seen In 1t anything but physical
duties; has sensed none OF its irti-
mate relations to the community, none
Of its obligations toward those who
have left her, none OF those toward
the oncoming generations. II It ends
there she has failed to realize, too,
the tremendous Importance to all
those who belong In her circle or who
touch 1t of what she makes of herself,
or her personal achievement.
A woman OF fifty or sixty who has
succeeded has come to point of

New Use Of tho Banana.

There are now in Jamaica six fac
tories manufacturing banana figs
chips, meal and -four" said James
McC. Harris OF Boston, who recently
returned from Jamaica. During the
seasons at which the fruit is cheapest
all Of these plants are run at their
maximum capacity. The methods OF
drying the fruit are different n.dif.
ferent plants, though ali resort, be.
lieve, to hot air process. 1t takes
about 400 to 500 pounds OF the fruit
to manufacture 100 pounds of meal.
The banana fig is as palatable as
the natural fig and resembles 1t close
ly In color. 1t has replaced the nat.
ural fig in many markets In which it
has been introduced The chips are
sold primarily for breakfast foods,
being made into a porridge. Several
Of the manufacturers, who deal in the
European markets, ship the chips to
their mills In those European cities
and have 1t ground into meal there.
Grist mills, the same kind used for
manufacturing meal from corn, are
"aad."

An Echo of Old Japan.

The suicide OF General count
Nogi, an old story now, just as his
act itself was an echo of old Japan.
Nogi himself was peculiar combi-
nation Of the lid and the new. A
member of the samural and educated
in their stoical school, he was mod
ern enough in his generalship to
defeat China and Russia and to be
wholly devoted to his emperor, who
led Japan to the new order Yet
most Of this modernism was on the
exterior, AT heart he was samura,
still.
To what extent was Nogi typical
of Japan? From the approval given
his act by the entire nation it would
appear that inwardly it is as much
attached to the old order as was he
1t has taken up western customs and
weapons because these are necessary
to its ambition--aye, to it's very ex-
istence-but its affections are with
its own modes and traditions of a
thousand years. Facing the alter
native Of being wiped out by the oc-
cidental powers or of learning their
lessons and Of leading the orient
into new paths, 1t resolutely chose
the progressive course, the while its
love was with the graves of its an.
cestors. In other words, it's con-
version to modernism was of the
head and not Of the heart.
Even so, it can never turn back
Its choice was the only one possible
and the very logic of events will
hurry it forward in the new ways
I'M time its heart must be weaned
from the old order, just as that OF
Europe was from the age of chivalry
II may be that the death of Nogi was
symbolical of that Of the old order
1t was the last great tribute to the
spirit OF the past Having rendered

the old Japan and faces the morning
\ AS the Kingdom of the Rising Sun

KANSAS TOPICS
Two Cream Men Caught.

Manhattan, Kan.-Two cream buy
ers in western Kansas were prosecut-
ed last week by William F. Droge,
deputy dairy commissioner at the Kan
sas Agricultural college, for tinkering
with cream tests. Each buyer had
his own system of violating the law.
To one of these buyers, a farmer
brought 40 per cent cream and re-
ceived a test of 80 per cent. Just to
test the Cream buyer the farmer
brought skim milk the next time and
received the same test. The other
buyer had the habit of giving a high
er test than the cream would stand
in order to get the business, as he re-
ceived so much a pound for all he
bought. For example, on the cream
received from two farmers the actual
amount of cream received was lS
.pounds, while the amount paid for by
the creamery company was 25 6
pounds, shortage of about % per
cent. With cream at 26 cents a
pound, this loss was $1.97 to the
creamery.

dead here when officers broke into
their bed room at their rooming house.

The underwear in which she was clad
was soaked with blood. The hmmer
which had been used lay beside her.
On the opposite side of the bed lay
Parks body, his throat cut A pearl
handled knife with the large blade
open lay close to his hand. All the
doors and windows of the room were
fastened. A roomer could not wake

lived at Canton, Kan, where he was
engaged in the hardware business un-
til recently. He has an invalid wife

Sweet clover Most Promising Crop.

Hutchinson, Kan.-Two years ago
osweet clover" was a weed, regarded
as a nuisance and pest, and western
Kansas farmers were striving to stamp
It out. Today sweet clover is one OF
the most important and promising feed
crops in the shortgrass country and
proving better as forage and sllage
crop than alfalfa. One Finney coun-
ty ranchman, Ed Finnup, who mad III
eighty acres of the sweet clover this
season has harvested about 1000 bush
els of seed worth $S,000 having mar
keted it for SO per bushel. Three years
ago an Iowa man, disgusted because
the supposed pest was taking his land,
and unable to stamp it, out sold his
eighty acres in Finney county for al
most nothing to Mr. Finnup. That
"pest" is now valuable crop.

More Books for Kansans.

Manhattan, Kan.-Every little town
in Kansas and every little crossroads
community might have books to READ
if the state could be induced to do its
duty In the opinion of the librarians
who assembled in Manhattan recently
this duty consists in urging the legis-
lature to create a travelling Libraries
commission. The commission should
have authority to employ library
visitor or organizer and the legislature
should make an appropriation of 81
900 a year to pay for his services. The
librarians, constituting the Kansas Ii
bray Association, adopted a resolution
embodying those suggestions and or
dered that every member of the leg
islature have a copy. The resolutions
ask, also, for the cooperation OF the
Kansas Federation of Womens Clubs,
the Kansas Teachers Association, the
Kansas Pupils Reading Circle Board,
the Kansas State Board of Education,
the University of Kansas, the state
normal schools and all Kansas institu-
tions and persons interested in public
education and social welfare. TO bring
about the condition desired the legis-
lature will be asked to amend Section
9.O29 of the General Statutes of 1909.

SESSION TO Be CALLED
WOODROW WILSON MAKES FOR
NAL ANNOUNCEMENT
Will Take up Tariff Revision lmme-
diateIy After Inauguration, Not
Later Than April IS.

New York, N. Y.-Gov. Woodrow
WilSon has just announced that i'm
mediately after his Inauguration as
president of the United States he
would call an extraordinary session of
congress, to convene not later than
April Is, for the purpose of revising
the tariff.
The president-elect will sail for
Bermuda for a vacation and will re-
turn December 16. To set at rest in
the meantime speculation as to what
he would do with regard to tariff re-
vision, he issued the following state
ment:
Il shall call congress together in ex-
traordinary session not later than
April Is. | shall do this not only be-
cause l think that the pledges of the
party ought to be redeemed as
promptly as possible, but also because
| know it to be in the interest of
business that all uncertainty as to
what the particular items of tariff re-
vision are to be should be removed as
soon as possible"
Beyond that brief announcement
the governor said he had nothing
further to say. Most Of the opinions
he had received from public men
seemed to be in favor of an extra ses-
sion, he declared.
The governor did not intend to ex-
press himself about an extra session
so soon after his election. Although
he had favored the idea of an extra
session because the present arrange
ment would not bring the new con-
gress into session until IS months af-
ter its election, he had expected to
spend more time in ascertaining pub
lie. opinion.
With the time to be consumed in
discussion the governor felt that If
an extra session were not called, the
benefits of tariff revision would be
postponed for practically two years.
