LOAN BILL Is
TABLED

Norman K. Lyman's pet measure
which would permit homesteaders to
borrow money from the territory for
improvements on their lands, limit
Ing the loan to so per cent of the va,
lue OF their holdings, has probably
been effectually throttled in the house.
ln its adverse report last Thursday
the public lands committee, after ex-
planning at length why it does not
think law of this nature would be
advisable, introduced a substitute bill
for the organization OF farmers CO.
operative societies, which it says
should cover the situation.
The subject of loans is of vital in
terest to homesteaders, and the CON-
mitteess report is therefore given in
full below:

Military Drills Forbidden the ".::.

A further move to eliminate mill
tarism from the Boy Scouts of Ameri-
ca was taken at the third annual
meeting. An order was issued to
scoutmasters directing them to elm
mate military methods and ideas and
to keep Only such drills as are needed
to teach the boys to move promptly
and in an orderly manner from one
place to another. The slaves should
not be used in any way as dummy
muskets. The leaders of the Boy

glacier is large lake surrounded by
mountains perhaps two thousand feet
high, their sides being so steep that
climbing them was out of the qnes-
ton. In the lake were icebergs as
big as large-sized houses. Back be-
yond the glacier were high peaks
looking in the distance like some OF
the old German castles. Most bril-
liant flowers grew right up at the
edge of the ice and the snow.

this have to do with missionary

these bad boys have been cast aside
as hopeless. On an excursion like
this, boys begin to ask questions. and
you will be surprised to find that be-
hind each so-caiied bad boy there is
a good-sized doubt. You have a
chance to explain, and he is now bet

church; what was, or might have
been, the bad boys class becomes
the missionary's best helper.
AS a result two OF our scouts, not

A SMALL DOCKET.
Atchison's Method Tends to Clean Up
Court Business.

The criminal docket for the April
term of the district court will be diff
ferent in some respects from any for
1ner docket since the active work of en-
forcing the prohibitory law began. 1t
will be different in that there will be
very few liquor cases to go on the
docket that have been carried over
from the January term.
Heretofore very few liquor cases be-
gun in one term We're tried in the same
term. They went into the records, and
were put on for trial in the following
term docket. Not so next term. County
Attorney William f. Atchison has in
sisted that such cases go to trial almost
Immediately. and thus has secured ac-
ton on most of the cases pending. He
does not believe in permitting violators
to go on bond and be given a chance
again to violate the law while cases are
pending against them.
The result has been a genuine scare
among the violators that is believed
may have the effect of reducing viola
tons At least Atchison hopes this
may be the case. So most of the

When you want a man to look
after your business you always
hire man of experience, who
has made good in similar po
sition. AS councilman, and as
mayor of Topeka, Mr.. Hughes
made an enviable record. He
guarantees to give the same
faithful service to the manage
ment of the city's affairs, should
the citizens of Topeka again
honor him with the office of
mayor.
MIR. Hughes stands for clean
streets and clean alleys, clean
men and morals. A strict en-
forcement of all laws. A dol
lars value for every dollar ex-
pended. A light at every street
crossing.
Such a platform should meet
with the general approval of all
citizens.
If you want to nominate a
good government" man for
mayor, who can be elected,
Hughes should receive your vote
at the primary.

sore, He tried all the common

healed it up to stay healed with

This salve is one of the oldest

it has been known as the only
salve powerful enough to cure
chronic ulcers and old sores of
long standing.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve acts by
drawing out the poison an d

it heals new cuts and sores in
