IRON OTHER EENS
CRIMES FOR MONEY.


Right-tnlnkIng men Will cordially
commend the decision and remarks of
Judge Aough, OF the federal district
court, in dealing with a man who con-
fessed to having shipped to this city
Tor use as food what IS known as bob
veal, and who pleaded in extenuation
that he was mercy acting under the
orders of his employer, who supplied
him with money tor the paying OF fines.
Judge Hough did not fine him, TUT sent
him to Jail for a few days and served
warning on all whom 1t might concern
that such would be his policy hereafter.
some persons may be inclined to
sympathize with man VINO thus
breaks law under orders. He is de-
pendent upon his salary or wages for
support, and it will be suggested that
in order to hold his job and continue
his income he must do what his en-
ployer directs. But at what point in
the process is he to stoy? Suppose
that his employer orders him to COM
NIT arson or larceny or sends him out
to kill a man-is he to obey in order to
keep his place and pay? OF course not.
Yet the difference between murder and
the sale of bob veal is one of degree
rather than of kind. The man who will
commit one crime for pay and under
promise of protection might commit an
other and more serious one if there
We're a commensurate increase of pay.
While, however, the plea of orders from
an employer cannot be admitted as ex-
culpating the w-breaking agent, there
ought to be no ignoring or minimizing
of the Statutory principle that he who
does thing through an agent does it
himself. The farmland who ships bob"
veal to the city under orders and prom
Use of immunity deserves to be sent
to jail, as Judge Hough sent this one.
But the employer who gave the orders
and promised the immunity should not
go unpublished. There ought to be a
sure way of putting him into the adj

BONDS FOR IRRIGATION.
!, If the state legislature does what
western Kansas people are urging in
irrigation legislation this winter, three
shortgras counties may engage extern
sively in well drilling next spring, at
public expense. Scott, Wichita and
Greeley counties want authority TO
drilling apparatus and then they want
further authority to issue bonds for
installation and equipment of irriga-
ton plants. Iif this section of Kan
sas gets authority to proceed and
develop irrigation projects at public
expense, it will mean a great develop
ment of that section. A petition will
be sent to the legislature this winter
for authority to spend county mnney
in pushing irrigation rejects. Repre-
sentative land owners and farmers of
those three counties named have
formed an organization, the West
Central Kansas Irrigation congress, to
promote the irrigation development of
that standardization County Re-

REDUCING THE DOUBLE CHIN
Simple Methods, Persevered In, viii
Speedily Do Away With Objec-
tonabIe Feature.

One of the most Objectionable fea-
lures is the double chin. This can be
remedied in one month by the follow
ing exercise: First soap the under
part Of the chin with pure soap, and
plenty of it. Then throw the head
back till the face locks up to the cell
ing Then press firmly the under chin
with the thumbs while at the same
time make the lower chin move back
and forth against the thumbs. It will
take some practice, but you will soon
find the way to cause the movement
of the fat part of the chin. This will
strengthen all the muscles and at the
same time it will eliminate the fatty
cells. The soap aids in this by cutting
the fat from the skin.
The exercise can be endured and
even enjoyed if you have graphic
phone and take the exercise by the
music. l set my graphophone out in
the rear garden and take my physical
culture out in the open air. Besides
the exercises | had in the college class
es [ have discovered many new ones.
Wherever there is excess fat just
keep on till you find motion that
will cause a movement of that fat
tnen work.-Health.

Sam Kirkpatrick of the Sixth Iowa

Almost all of his life Sam has

expected that when the money bags

case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands Of 100000 new peo-

be built to take care of the country
and capital had not made sufficient

But the crop of 1918 will restore

IS A MOVING PICTURE FIEND
Senator Ciapp of Minnesota Goes the
Route Every Evening, So 1t
Is Claimed.

II you happen to be doing the NOV
ing picture circuit in upper 14th street
or the Rue de Quartorze, as French
men call it-any night, and happen to
see a large, dignified body wearing a
senatorial toga somewhere in the
offing, set it down at once for the form
of Senator Clapp Of Minnesota, who
has been investigating campaign ex-
penses for long time.
Senator Clapp is the moving picture
fiend of the United States senate. He
goes the route every evening, so it Is
claimed, and takes special delight in
those theaters where brandnew pro-
auctions are advertised nightly He
is the five-cent melodrama marathon
champion Of the United States. He
loves to see the hero hop into hired
automobile and chase the william
across the plains; he loves to see the
Irish tragedians who take the part OF
the noble red men of the west; he
loves to see the funny man who falls
into a barrel of flour; he loves to
watch the trick pictures and the Mutt
and Jeff stuff that makes the populace
rock and howl with laughter. He likes
the plain form of amusements. He
takes his pleasures simply, cheaply
and quickly.

Red-Heeled Slippers.

It was only natural that the incom-
ing of effective little frocks should
have brought with them the high-heel-
ed slippers Of the Louis XVI. period,
with their immense buckles in front
and their slashes of red behind. There
is a new kind of heel, too, which is
used on these black slippers, and it
makes the foot look about three
inches shorter than it is.
One would say that it was impossi-
bic to walk in them if one had not
witnessed the ability of women to get
along in yard-wide skirts and Spanish
heels that put them on stills. We
have learned during the last three
years that there are few limitations
to what women can do in the name
of fashion; if ever these Louis heels
are adopted by the majority Of Amer
lean shoemakers, women will wear
them, and not only turkey trot in
them, which is all very we'll, but they
will go shopping in them, which is all
very wrong.

American Business Hustle.

Here is an instance of the thorough
ness with which England's CONNER
cial rivals do business. A leading
municipality in the far east is order
ing a large quantity Of electrical ma
terial, and the head of the department
concerned was authorized to visit Ger
many, Great Britain and the United
States to inspect plants. He crossed
to America first and found that the
American agent from the city from
which he came had notified every
manufacturer of his visit and his mis-
sion, with the result that when he
landed he received sheaf of letters
Of invitation from manufacturers, and
of offers of hospitality. AS a result,
he saw everything he wanted under
exceptionally favorable conditions,
and every courtesy was shown to him.
The German representative is doing
precisely the same, but nothing what
ever has been done by or on behalf
Of the British manufacturer. If the
representative wants to see anything
in this country he has to dig it out for
himself, for nobody seems to care for
the business and nobody knows of 1t.
