MARKET SUMMARY.
Stocks Affected by Uncertainties OF
the Currency Legislation.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The course of
prices this week continued to reflect
the unfavorable construction placed
upon present market factors by the
trading element. The downward move
ment of the last few weeks was con-
tinued, and new low prices were made
all through the list. In some cases
quotations were carried back to the
low points reached in the June slump.
The general situation was little
changed by the developments of the
week. Uncertainty as to the effect of
tariff changes and currency legislation
were considerations uppermost in the
minds of traders. Recent events in
Mexico again brought to the fore the
situation there as a disturbing infiu-
ence.
The low prices of stocks failed to
attract investors and there was no
considerab Bile demand. Rallies which
occurred from time to time apparently
were due principally to short covering.
Conditions in foreign money markets
were not encouraging and there was
some selling of stocks here for foreign
account.
A further advance in the rate of the
Bank of England was regarded by in
ternational bankers here as not i'm
probable. The local money market
tended toward greater ease, owing
largely to the comparatively small de-
mands for stock market purposes and
to the deposit of government funds
banks of the west and south for crop
moving purposes.

The PRICE OF MILK
Some of the Reasons for Ad-
vance From sc to 1Oc.
Cost of Feed and Cows and
Help Have Doubled.

Why is the price of milk going up?
The answer is just about the same
as the answer to why the price OF al
most everything else is climbing or
has elm bed in the last two or three
years.
Three years ago milk was being re-
tailed in Topeka as cheap as five cents
a quart, although the prevailing price
was a little higher. Now practically
none is sold for less than eight cents
a quart. Most of it brings about nine
Gems. A good deal brings as much as
ten cents and at least two milkmen
get twelve cents quart.
DR.. George F. Babb, city milk in
spector, furnishes the answer for the
advance in the prices of milk. To
begin with, he says, pasturage which
is excellent now, does not cut great
figure in the feed of dairy cows. Some
dairymen depend upon dry feed the
year around, and all must dc some
dry feeding practically twelve months
in the year, and all must resort en-
tirely to dry feed for the winter
months at least.
cost more than they did two or three
years ago. Three years ago alfalfa
hay could be purchased for from Sc
to So per ton. 1t is now SIS per ton.
dairymen about IS cents a hundred
pounds. 1t now costs them $1.20 a
hundred pounds.
Good dairy help could be secured
to $25 per month and board. 1t now
costs from $35 to $40 per month and
board, and the board costs the dairy
man more than it did.
The price of cows has also adj
vanced. There has been a bigger adj
vance in common scrub cows than in
good profitable dairy animals. but
dairy cows which two or three years
ago were worth only $55 or $50, are
now worth from $S5 to $12O, an in
crease in the cost of dairy stock of
about 100 per cent.
When the increase in the cost of
producing milk is taken into consid- |
Grafton, the increase in the retail price |
is not strange.
In the last month there has been
four or five persons or companies |
EN- bark in the business of retailing |
milk. There is plenty of competition
among the milkmen, but twelve quart |
tickets for one dollar is just about as !
cheap as milk can be purchased at
retail, and some dairymen are whole |
sailing at that price.

Although Powers gives no reasons
for his determination not to run for
congress again, it is pointed out by
those who know him that he has
grown weary of being ignored by the
Democratic members of the Kentucky
delegation.
Fresh from the prison cells where
he had spent six years with sentences
of death or life Imprisonment hang
ing over him. Powers made his race
for congress in 1908 on a martyr
platform. In this rock-ribbed Re
publican stronghold, the plea of Pow
ers that he, a poor mountain boy, had
been sacrificed on the altar of partt-
san politics, found ready listeners and
he was elected by a big majority.
When Powers went to Washington
he did not realize what the Ken
lucky Democrats, embittered by the
presence of the man whom they con-
sidered responsible, in part at least,
for the death of Goebel, could do.
There was no demonstration, but
when Powers took his seat all the
Democratic congressman from Ken
lucky left the house. They ignored
Powers as though he was utterly I'M
known to them. They refused to
had nothing whatever to do with
him.
AS a rule, at least nine of the
eleven congressman from Kentucky
are Democrats. John w. Langley,
who represents the Tenth Kentucky
district, was the only one of Powers
associates who noticed him. Powers
stood this constant ostracism for
three terms

MRS. THOMPSON DENIES

statement that I did not know that
Kansas had complete woman suf-

have known that such statements are

sented this question to the president.
On this occasion each suffrage state
was represented by only one lady and

Kansas.

FINDS HER CHILDREN,
Last Woman to Leave the Volturno
Believed Them Lost.

New York, Oct. 18.-The arrival to-
day of eleven women saved from the
burning Volturno by the freighter
Rappahannock was the signal for the
widest scene of joy and Thanksgiving
witnessed here since the rescuing fleet
began to bring in their cargoes of sur
vivors. The women were transferred
at Halifax from the Rappahannock
to the liner Florizel, which locked in
Brooklyn. Ten of them were young
girls. The eleventh was Mrs. Peia
Pollock and the scene at the dock as
she met her three children whom she
had given up for lost, brought tears
to the eyes of the immigrant officers.
Mrs. Pollock was the last woman to
leave the Volturno. She was lowered
into one of the Rappahannock's boats
believing that her children already
were there. When the boat put off
from the blazing ship and she found
that the little ones were left behind.

NEGLECT THE CARE OF YOUR SCALP
AND YOUR HAIR WILL BECOME A DISGRACE

The hair is more exposed and hence
more liable to accumulate dust and
dirt than any other portion of the
body.
In spite of this the hair receives, as
a rule, the least attention and no real
effort is made to keep it healthy.
If the dandruff germ is allowed to
work unmolested and the scalp be-
comes crusted with dirt accommodations
one may expect the hair to die and fall
out. There is no cause for surprise in
this phenomenon; it is natural and
happens in every instance where the
looked.

the loss of hair and permits healthy

Some Kansas State Automobile
Association Plans.
Clarence Jordan Will Start
Work as Secretary Monday.

Clarence Jordan, paying teller of the
Merchants National bank, who has
been chosen to succeed d. E. WATKINS
as secretary of the Kansas State Auto
mobile association, will be ION the job
next Monday. Mr.. Jordan, who will
have an assistant to handle the cor
respondence of the association from
the office in the New England build

his time in organizing and good roads

In speaking of his work Mr.. Jordan
said today: I'VE expect to handle the
association on strictly business basis.
giving the members value received
There is now an estimated member
ship in the association of 5000 motor
lists. Through the former secretary
seventy-nine counties were organized
in eighteen months. It was impossible
for Secretary Watkins to spend a great
deal of time in any one county and
consequently there is an opportunity
to strengthen many of the county or
CARNATIONS to a marked degree. 1t is
for this reason that Mr.. Jordan has de-
cided to spend the greater part of his
time in the field. 1t is his hope to add
hundreds of new members to the as
ISOLATION lists in the next twelve
months.
Will Hold Many Meetings.
Already calls have been received by
Mr.. Jordan from ten or fifteen Kansas
towns which desire him to conduct
meetings in the interests of the re-
spective organizati of the towns
and good roads.
Since its organization the Kansas
State Automobile associa ton has been
a strong factor in the building Of bet
ter roads in Kansas. A sentiment for
the improvement of the highways of
the state has been aroused that never
before existed. Indirectly through the
influence of the association hundreds
of miles of roads have been dragged in
the last year. The members of the as
ISOLATION are in favor of q state high
way department and no doubt the as
ISOLATION will have much weight with
the next legislature when this PROPOSE
ton comes up for considera ton.

HIS HEAD ON A POLE.
An Ancient Custom Is Revived by
YaquiS in Sinaloa.

Douglas, Oct 1S.-The ancient Gus
tom of heralding victory by making
public demonstrations with the heads
of the conquered was revived at Fuer-

according to stories told today by
travellers who reached here. Following
the invasion of F'uerte, the story runs.
Yaqui Indians pursued the retreating
federal army and captured among 9TH
ers, Prefecto Torres, a federal COM
mander. The Indians put him to death
and returned with his head, parading
it about the streets ON a pole.
Torres. it is reported, had threatened
to execute any constitutionalists who
fell into his hands.
