HICKS HAS PLAN.
TOpekan Would Send Eggs by Parcel
Post.

That the parcel post will do much to
reduce the cost of living is the opinion
OF Reese ". Hicks of Topeka, president
or the American Poultry association.
L am working out a plan on my farm
near Topeka" said Mr.. Hicks in speaking
at Convention hall in Kansas City Wednes-
day evening, that will lower the cost of
poultry and eggs a fourth to the con-
sumner 1t IN simply taking advantage of
the parcel post in a scientific way.
Fresh eggs will be mailed to conSum-
ers every day The crates will be mailed
back for two cents and used again. Thus
the crate cost will be removed Eggs are
now selling for twenty cents dozen in
the country. The housewives should get
them for that price with postage added"

TO PLAY GOLF IN U. S.
Ray and Vardon Are Coming After
More LaurelS.

New York, Jan. 16.-Harry Vardon,
five times the open golf champion of
Great Britain and Edward Ray, the
present title holder, will visit the
United States to compete in the Ameri-
can open championship at Brookline,
Massac husetts, provided the date is
changed from June and to some
time in August. Robert C. Watson,
president of the United States Golf
association, received a cablegram to
this effect yesterday. Watson 1mme-
diately sent a letter to each member of
the executive committee, asking their
pleasure.
1t is said that the change may be
made Last year, it will be recalled,
the date of the Amateur event was
shifted to permit Hilton and Hunter, of
England to compete.
In case the tournament were post
poned to August, it would make certain
that Jack McDermott, the American
champion would enter to defend his
title He is now wavering because the
June dates conflict with his plans Of
competing in the English champion

New York, Jan. 1e.-Yes. they have
had a real love affair-Helen Gould
and Finley G. Shepard. Miss Gould
with a fortune estimated at from fiji
teen to forty millions, cultured, re-
fined, good looking, might have an
nexed a husband years ago. She might
even have found a count or a prince
who would gladly have taken her
and her millions. She probably could
find sue ha one today. But Miss Gould
from her young womanhood has been
haunted with the fear of being wooed
and won for her cash alone. So she
early turned her interest from society
and matrimony to philanthropy and
business. She felt that she'd rather
be an old maid than marry a man
who cared more for her money than
he did for her.
1t is safe to say that up to March,
1911, Miss Gould never had been in
love- 1t was in March that she met
Shepard, and the Railway Y. M. G. A.

covered that they had many things in

poverty, and this fact, instead of
causing Miss Gould to lose interest in
him, increased her admiration for the
man. She became convinced that he
was not of the sort who would marry
for money. And then she fell in love.
Shepard had already succumbed to
