RIVER ROSE 6 INCHES.
Cooler Nights Blamed for Unexpected
Gift Here.

The Kansas river rose six inches at
the city pumping station yesterday IN
spite of the fact that not drop OF
water had fallen either here or at the
headwaters of the river. The fact is
puzzling the city officials somewhat
1t is almost uncanny.
The only reasonable explanation is
that the cooler nIgnts have decreased
the evaporation, and thus water that
heretofore has been taken into the air
is running down the river. Several
times during the summer seemingly
without the slightest provocation, the
river has raised slightly.

POULTRY NOTES..
Advice of Poultry Press Is Often
Disregarsled.

Much good advice is given the begin
ner in poultry from time to time in
| the poultry press, but from the appear

keepers the advice is either forgotten or
i not needed.
Do not forget the green food these
August days. Poultry will not do as
well if this important feed is neglected.
1t pays to purchase cabbage or beets,
if no grass is obtainable.

The Poultry Item exhibit on the
Million Dollar Pier is attracting much
attention. The leading breeders of the
country have placed birds on exhibition,
and while not in competition for
prizes, they are of a high order and
cannot help being admired by all who
see them.
Poultry and eggs are commanding a

Drawing the Color L line.

Following precedent of many
years standing, President Wilson
nominated a negro to be register Of
the United States treasury at Wash
ington, an office with $4,000 yearly
salary. The appointee was Adam e.
Patterson of Oklahoma. who is &C
credited with considerable political
activity in behalf of the Democratic
party in that state, and was a use
full attache of the Democratic ma
tional headquarters il the last cam
paign. The selection aroused much
opposition, particularly among sena-
tors from the southern states, sew
eral OF whom declared their purpose
to oppose confirmation. Patterson
thereupon declined the appointment
in order to relieve the adrninistra-
ton from embarra ssment, and the
president substituted Gabe 3. Park
er, also of Oklahoma, and ChoctaW
Indian. who is supported by both
the Oklahoma senator's and will
doubtless be confirmed without OBJ
lection. It was question OF color
apparently, and red won over black.
