Boys CORN CONTESTS.

The boys of Kansas have been do
ing a lot Of good farming in the last
few years and have shown their eld-
ers some things. One boy from Doni-
phan county produced over one hun
dred bushels of corn from one acre,
and another boy away up in Decatur
county got a yield of over seventy
eight bushels. Another boy up in
Cheyenne county, the extreme north
western corner county, grew one hun
dred and three bushels of potatoes
from one-third Of an acre.
Now this year the Agricultural Col.
lege is making great plans for the
biggest series of contests ever known
in Kansas. Mr.. C. D. Steiner, the
Boys Club man, wants to get twenty
thousand boys lined up in these con-
tests for growing corn, Kafir, pota-
toes, etc. He must have local men
who will help. He must depend on
Farmers Institute officers, county
superintendent, commercial clubs,
bankers, preachers, and lot Of PEG!
pie to help In this good work.
Along with these contests for boys
there are suggested contests for the
girls in bread, cakes, canned fruit
and vegetables, and sewing. Mr..
Steiner is going to look to some Of
the above people and to public spir-
tied women to help. He hopes these
good folks will not wait too long. All
preparations should be made in Feb
ruary and prizes announced. It is re-
commended that in each community
one or more prizes be given in the
form Of "trip to the State lnsti-
tute" at Manhattan next winter with
all expenses paid. Mr.. Steiner
wants to get thousand letters from
a thousand people. The little pam
phlet describing these contests will
be ready for mailing about the mid
die Of February. Address, Exten-
sion Division, Manhattan.

cessary to remove the scalp from the

A City DIRECTORATE"
! A complete revolution in the pres
eDt form Of city government is pro-
vided for in bill introduced by o.
S. Gibson of Cowley county. 1t is not
probable that the bill will be passed
because of the newness Of the idea.
But Mr.. Gibson thinks it is only a
matter of time until the Kansas cit
les and towns will come to it.
A railroad company has board of
, directors and the directors chose ex-
perts for the executive offices. The
stockholders elect the directors. The
management of the road and its bus
mess is up to the directors so far as
the stockholders are concerned.
That is the way Mr.. Gibson looks
at the city government problem. His
bill provides that the voters, the
stockholders, shall elect a board Of
directors, a directorate, and that the
directorate shall name the heads OF
the executive offices. The directors
Of the city are to receive no pay but
they are to be permitted to pay liber-
al salaries to experts to run the exc
cutive offices. ,-,
The directors are authorized to 90
anywhere to find an expert in the
mayor line. II they can't find one in
their own town they may know Of
one in another town, II not, perhaps
in another state. The same would
be true Of the other city officials.
They would be hired for their partic-
ular qualifications. The passage OF
the Gibson bill would probably lead
70 the establishment Of schools spe-
clalizlLg in city government.
Freak Bills.
All sorts Of freak bills are intro
ducad in ne legislature. Some Of
them get past the committees be-
cause the members who introduces
them happen to be friendly with the
members Of the committee. But most
Of them are killed in the committee.
The house judiciary committee has
Just natbel one introduced by Miles
Mulroy, speaker pro TEN from Ellis
county.
Under this bill 1t would have been
possible to send a man to the peni-
Tertiary for three years because he
had taken on too many drinks. 1t
provided that any person who, after
having been arrested, evaded the Of
ficers and got away, or who escaped
Jail, might be sem to the peniten-
tiary for a term Of three years. In
other words a man might be arrested
for a crime of which he was not
guilty and II he broke away from the
officer he could be sent to the peni
Tertiary for three years.

zurAvERN AND BIBLE.
Great Bend Legislator Opposes Its
Being Read In the Public Schools.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 11.-Representa'
tive Zutavern of Barton county and a
Democrat would legislate against the
reading of the Bible, the singing Of
religious songs, the saying of prayer
and teaching of the existence of a
Diety in all public school rooms in
Kansas. His bill to that effect was
introduced in the house today and tbs
house member from Great Bend de-
clared he will make fight for the
passage of his bill.
That Zutavern's measure will stir
up more opposition than has been
created by any bill offered in the
present legislative session is conceded
by the house members. But Zuta-
varn is in earnest. He will endeavOr
to block any effort to have his bill
smOthered in the committee room anC
will insist that members Of the legis-
hture go on record either for or
against the bill.
This is Politics.
Holbrook of Wyandotte county, to-
day offered bill in the house recog-
nizing the existence in Kansas of the
new national Progressive party. His
bill provides that the new third party

for the securing of petitions for pri-
mary nomination.
Under the Holbrook bill, the per
centage of petitioners required by any
person seeking nomination as a can
didate on the Progressive ticket shall
be based on the vote cast for Henry
j. Allen as Progressive candidate for
presidential elector in the recent
election. The new bill will be crowd
ed as an emergency to effect local
municipal elections.
The Old Soldier Bill.
By a vote of 70 to "a, the house to-
day passed on third reading the Car
roll bill, providing that the votes of
inmates of the soldiers home at Fort
Leavenworth, shall be counted only in
the counties of which the inmate is
an actual and bonafide resident. This
eliminates the soldier vote from af-
fecting local affairs in Leavenworth
county.
The house today by vote Of 81 to
IA passed the Frey bill providing that
IS per cent Of the wages of any per,
son shall be subject to punishment.
This bill created a big fight in the
committee Of the whole last week,
but on the third reading today was
passed with but little opposition.

intended to quit business. The first
step taken pointing to the ultimate
adjournment was the offering of a
concurrent resolution in the house by
Speaker W. l.. Brown regarding the
introduction of bills. Under this reso.
luton the introduction of bills, except
committee bills and appropriation
bills will cease February 10 at noon,
That is next Saturday.
The house will probably adopt a
resolution today and it is said that
the senate will adopt it without ques.
ton as soon as it reaches that body.
No doubt both houses will be flooded
with bills the remainder of this week
in order that members may get into
the hopper everything they brought
! to Topeka with them.
After the fifteenth appropriation
bills may be introduced and the COM
mittees of the house and senate may
introduce measures. There are now
nearly seven hundred bills in the
house and about five hundred in the
senate. Probably two hundred more
will be introduced in each house.
Even at that there will be fewer bills
than during the previous sessions.
But also, even at that, neither house
is going to be able to dispose of the
work it has before it in the fifty day
limit.
| The PeddIer Gill
The peddler bill has been introduc-
ed again and that means that every
patent medicine factory doing bust
ness in Kansas will have representa-
tives around the legislature again
this season. The bill has been intro
duced In the house by A. A. Doerr Of
Pawnee county. A similar bill was
before both bodies two years ago but
was defeated.
The measure provides that all per-
sons who peddle, who have no estab-
lished place Of business, shall pay
license. 1t was pointed out to mem
bers two years ago that many per
Sons who could work only part Of
the time peddled proprietary medi
cines over the country, that they
were poor people and that to charge
them a license would work a great
hardship upon them. For that and
other reasons the bill was defeated
There was a well organized lobby on
the ground from the time the bill
was introduced until it was killed.

Barnabas chapel to the seashore, upon
invitation of Charles King, though
it was postponed, Thursday, on ac-
count of poor weather, was made, Fri

circumstances. The children to the
number of about 125, in charge of
Rev. Brian G. Roberts, rector of st.
Marks. boarded the steamer Islander
in the early morning, and it is seldom
that happier crowd has assembled
on similar occasion. The trip down
the river was beautiful one, and
when the youngsters got view of
the Atlantic ocean, to many of whom
it was the first, their enthusiasm
knew no bounds. On the arrival If
the steamer at Ocean Point the party
trooped ashore, and the members were
soon served with a lunch, the ma
terials for which had been taken along
on the steamer and which included
sandwiches, doughnuts, ice cream ano
cake, and lemonade to wash it dowr
with. About three hours were passed
at the Point, during which the chill
| dren enjoyed themselves in various
| WAYS, and 1t was almost with regfel
that they boarded the Islander fol
home. The party arrived at Augustf
in season for supper. all happy from

EASY WAY TO GET
RID OF PIMPLES
Resinol Really Does What Cosmetics
Are Supposed To Do.

1t is so easy to get rid of pimples
and blackheads with Resinol, and it
costs so little, too, that anyone whose
face is disfigured by these pests is fool
ish to keep on with useless creams,
washes or complicated ''beauty treat
ments." Here's the way to do it:
Battle your face for several minutes
with Resinol Soap and hot water, then
apply little Resinol Ointment very
gently. Let this stay on ten minutes,
and wash off with Resinol Soap and
more hotwater, finishing with dash of
cold water to close the pores. Do this
every morning and evening, and you
will be surprised to see how quickly the
healing, antiseptic Resinol balsams
soothe and cleanse every pore, leaving
the complexion clear and velvety.
Resinol stops itching instantly and
speedily heals eczema, and other skin
humors, dandruff, sores, burns and piles.

ment, so cts. and $500, Resinol Soap,
