Shoe manufacturers who talk OF
making changes in the numbering OF
women's shoes, so no woman can find
out just how big her foot is, are likely
to be joined by hat manufacturers who
may change the size Of mems hats, so
no man can tell just how big his head
Is.
More and more l notice a disin-
clination among men to acknowledge
that they wear unusually large hats,
said clerk In a hat store. There
was a time when head that required
a hat of prodigious size was posses
sion to be proud OF, but Of late years
big heads are unpopular, and the men
who have to ask for rather large-sized
hats seem ashamed of themselves.
"Of course, men will require the
same sizes in hats no matter how the
numbers run, but 1t will let them down
easy to think that they are able to lop
of an eighth of an inch in the cir
conference of their headgear."

NO OLD MAIDS IN SIAM
When Girls Reach Certain Age With
out Getting Married the King Pro-
cures Spouse.

Kings Of Siam apparently do not be-
lieve in the wisdom of allowing single
women to drift unattached about the
country In certain districts after q
girl has reached an age where her Sc
curing for herself a husband is con-
sidered doubtful she becomes a
daughter of the king" That Is. the
king takes upon himself the task OF
settling her suitably In life.
His process Is quite simple and to
the point. He proceeds to the Siam
ese penitentiary and looks over the
various prisoners. There Is law In
Siam that any prisoner can obtain his
release by marrying one Of this class
of girls, and, naturally enough, any
prisoner whom the king picks out Is
not likely to be backward about con-
senting to the ceremony. Nor does 1t
make any difference II he is married.
for the men of that country are not
restricted to one wife.
AS far as can be learned, there Is
no allowance made for the inclination
Of the girl In question. She has failed
in her mission in life as far as she
herself Is concerned. and she must
abide by the decision Of the king.

MAN MUST DECLARE REASON
Writer Asserts That When Husband
Tires of Wife He Should De-
mand Separation.

When, in the course Of human
events, 1t becomes necessary for one
man to dissolve the domestic bands
which have connected him with
woman, and to assume among his
peers Of the earth the separate and
equal station to which the laws of Ma
ture and of Natures God entitle him.
decent respect for the opinions of
mankind requires that he should de-
clare the causes which impel him to
the separation
All husbands we're created equal;
their inequality comes from the diff
ference in the respective abilities of
their wives. A Just regard, therefore,
for the feeling Of mankind requires
that they should be permitted to love
something. And If it is no longer In
teresting and expedient for them to
love their wives, then we hold that
they are entitled to break loose in
manner hereinafter to be determined.
All those in favor please say aye;
contrary. no. The ayes have it and
we will now proceed to the business
in hand-I.ife

LOST A VALUABLE MULE.

Lawrence Schrepel had the misfor-
tune to have a very fine young mare
mule taken with the CHAMBERS few
weeks ago, and had to kill it last
Monday.
DR.. Zecha, who was treating it,
pronounced the trouble glanders and
reported the case to the State Agri.
cultural College for an examination
and confirmation of his diagnosis.
They also pronounced it CHAMBERS and
last Saturday Sam Graybill, state
livestock commissioner, came here
from Topeka and ordered the animal
killed and buried.
Monday morning Sheriff Brown
and Deputy Ed Brown and Commits
sioner Murphy came down from the
county seat, and Joe Sprinkler, act
ing for Commissioner Graybill went
out to Schrepel's and after apprais'
ing the mule, shot and burned her
The mule was appraised at 1925, the
half of which amount the state will
pay Mr.. Schrepel, and the other loss
he will have to stand himself.

sion will soon settle the stock yands
case In a manner satisfactory to all
parties. It has investigated the quail
ity Of gas furnished by the Gas Com
paQies IN southern Kansas, and will
render a decision In that matter very
soon.
The question Of train service and
especially passenger train service is
quite a large one and it has been
the habit Of the railroad companies IN
Kansas to Withdraw from service, pas
senger trains that we've operating
over lines or branches that seemed
not to be producing sufficient reve-
nue. to suit the officers of the rail
road company. As a result of numer-
Gus complaints that have been filed
with the Commission, an order was
recently issued to the Missouri Pa
cfic and also in the last few days
to the Rock Island railway company
to at once put certain trains back
into service. 1t Is quite likely that
this order will result in trying out
the question Of the authority Of the
Public Utilities Commission in that
direction. It is expected that the
railroad companies will refuse to com
ply with the orders, raising the ques-
tion that the Utilities Law does not
give sufficient power to the Commits
sion to enforce such rulings. In the
event of their refusal to restore the
trains, It is more than likely thai
mandamus proceeding will be insti-
tuted, and the question will theT
have an opportunity of being triet
out before the courts and that par
Of the utilities law be tested.
These are only a few of a grea
many questions pending before tha
body, and the people Of Kansas anC
Governor Hodges are to be congrat
uIated on having as able a body o
. men composing the Utilities Commits
sion as compose that for the stat,

Barton County democrat., 1913-12-26

. The Public Utilities Commission is
perhaps the busiest department of
the state government and deals with
more and larger questions affecting
the interests Of the people Of the en-
tire state than any other single de-
partment. This commission is con-
Stantly safeguarding the interests Of
the people Of the state. For exam
pie, it receitly resisted the applica'
ton off carriers for an advance ol
rates ON lumber to Kansas points
with the result that the increased
rate was denied by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. It is nov
making a strong effort to keep ths
rates on flour to California points
from being advanced. It Is also us
ing its best efforts to keep the rate
on wheat to Arizona and New Mex
leo points from being raised, as vel
Is th9rates on eggs and dairy pro.
ducts to Pacific Coast points.

SPECIAL Correspondence.

The work that is being done FOR
the farmers and stockmen Of Kansas
By the Live Stock Sanitary Depart
meak under the direction Df Commis-

e0mmendatiOa. For the year ending
MarOh LIST, 1913, the report show
that Gao. 900 hogs Of the yasue Of $4'
$4,000 died Of the cholera. The re-
ports so far for the present year IN
dicate that there is less hog cholera
IN the state than there has been for
the past four years and that this
years losses will not aggregate more
than haK as much as the losses last
year from the same cause.
The Department has immunized
800 900 hogs with a loss OF less than
four per cent.
This Department is making a great
effort to rid the state Of tubercular
cattle. 1t has tested more than IL
900 head and has killed 300, NINETY
one Of which came into the state
in violation of law between Decem-
6er 31st, 1912, and May lst, 1913, un'
=, der the administration Of the former
Live Stock Sanitary Commissioner.
Mr.. Graybill is also trying to rid
the state of glanders and has re-es
tabHshed the rule requiring tests Il
be made before horses are imported
into the state. At the recent meet
ing Of the cattlemen in Topeka, Mr.
GraybiH received a great deal o
commendation from those in attend
