WHY MEN GET DROWsY
LISTENING TO SERMONS

Do you know why sermons make
you sleepy? Because you hypno'
tie yourself, says a German profes.
sor.
Have you ever wondered why Il
is that you do get SO sleepy IN
church that you sometimes think you
are going straight off into Rip
Van Wrinkle slumber
It is because you are too atten-
tive. It isn't because the afr is bad,
the sermon stupid. or anything OF
the kind. The more faithful and
jealous you are the sleeper you can
get.
The reason is that you gaze too
hard at the preacher and hypnotic
yourself. You are so attentive that
you get yourself in an unnatural
state and then suddenly you find
that you are hopelessly sleepy and
cannot remember what you have
heard.
IN the early part OF the serv-
ice," the professor says. there is
variety, singing, reading and SO
forth-but the sermon itself is ut
terly unbroken. Your head and body
are in one position, your eyes are
fastened on one point, all conditions
perfectly favorable for self-hypno-
tism."
Apparently from the trend of the
professors remarks, the only con-
clusion we can draw is that, as the
more attentive one is the less he
hears, 1t would really pay one to
give less attention and learn more.
The comfort of 1t all is that the
professor proves that 1t is really not
our fault If we cannot remember
the text.-Chicago Tribune.

AS TO LEGAL HOLIDAYS.
paste This I'm Your Hat--Kansas
Has But Six

Decoration day is one OF the ST.
legal holidays In Kansas. Paste tina
! in the clock for future reference
other days are often observed Al
holidays but as a matter of fact
only six days in the year have beer
made holidays by legal enactment In
Kansas. They are:
Lincoln's birthday, February IL.
Washington's birthday, Feb. 20.
Decoration day, May 80.
Independence day, July 4.
Labor Day, September 1.
Columbus day, October H.
Not even Christmas and New
Years are legal holidays in Kansas.
This probably gave rise to the be-
lief on the part OF many that Kansas
has no legal holidays. As a matter
Of fact nearly all the states have
made New Years legal holiday and
Kansas is the only state in which
Christmas is not legal holiday.
There are no national holidays,
although some days, like the Fourth
of July and Thanksgiving day, are
so considered. No national
legislation has made them legal hol-
idays hence they can not be so CON
sidered though they are generally
observed as such.

KANSAS NEEDS $4,000 MEN.
z. G. Hopkins Has Sent Out Notices
on Wheat Crop.

Topeka, June az. G.. Hopkins,
director of the free employment bu-
reau, sent out a notice to prospec-
tive harvest hands not to be fright
ened at the reports of the entire
Kansas wheat crop being ruined by
dry weather.
'The wheat has been damaged in
spots, and it is in a critical stage in
other sections of the state" said
the director. at is not all ruined,
and much of the wheat has not been
hurt lit. We will need the usual
number Of harvest hands this year
at the least, and it is probable we
will need hundreds more"
Kansas has had to import in the
neighborhood of 10000 men each
year to harvest the crop. Early in
the season the prospects were that
the state would need over 10000
men for the wheat, but the damage
by dry weather may cut down the
crop so, that not 50 many win be
required. The employment bureau
sent out blanks for supplemental re-
ports on crop conditions and the
number Of men needed to handle the
harvest. These supplemental reports

NEWS OF LAWMAKERS AT OLYMPIA
r;ef Resume Of the Peoples Representatives
at the State Capital Bills introduced Passed. Rejected ETC.
DRYs WILL CONTINUE FIGHT
Plan to Invoke Initiative On Pro-
hibitiOn Measure.

Olympia - When the "drys' OF the
Washington legislature discovered
that the public morals committee OF
both houses had successfully bottled
up all liquor bills, the forces were
mustered and plans laid to "smoke
out" the issue of statewide prohlbl-
ton.
The first step in the plan was taken
when a bill was introduced by Senator
Davis, of Pierce county, leader OF the
"drys,'' asking the legislature to
place the question up to the people.
If this plan fails for any reason, the
"drys'' announce that they will pro-
coed under the initiative to give the
issue place on the ballot at the next
election. They declare they will force
the proposition in the legislature I'M
der the provisions of rule of senate
and house of representatives requiring
committees to report on bills within
ten days. After getting the measure
out of the committee the workers will
attempt to force it to a vote.

LEGISLATION AT HIGH SPEED
Both Houses Become Exceedingly
Industrious.

Olympia-Both houses ran on high
gear during the past week. In four
days the senate passed 129 senate. bills
and three engrossed house bills and
the house passed 10 house bills and
two senate bills. The senate killed
two senate bills and no house bills and
the house killed two house bills and no
senate bills. Altogether five bills
were sent up for the approval or re-
lection of Governor Lister.
Of the number the most important
was the measure introduced in the
house by the committee on roads and
bridges providing for an increase of
the state highway fund from one-half
of one mill to J mills, or from $780,
600 to $1,000, 900. The bill passed
the house by overwhelming vote early
in the week. Friday it was passed by
the senate with only five dissenting
votes.
The bill has been passed up to Gov
ernor Lister, who probably will sign
it. With this measure out of the way
the senate will take up consideration
of the bill passed this week by the
house providing for an increase from
81, 900, 900 to So, 5000 a year of the
permanent highway fund tax levy. It
is believed that lively fight is to be
made on this bill in The senate.

SENATE ATTACKS TAFT VETO
Bull M0Osers Rise to Defend Hit
crate Immigrant Bill.

Olympia-The senate Monday had a
lively clash over the question Of pass
ing a memorial drafted by Bull Moos-
ers, directing the Washington delega-
ton in congress to vote against the
veto of President Taft of the immi-
grant illiteracy bill.
After a heated battle with the
Progressives on one side and the Re-
publicans on the other, the Democrats
dived between the two and the meas
ure finally was throttled
1t was brought up by Senator
Hutchinson, of Spokane, leader of the
Moosers, who declared that the action
of President Taft was an insult to the
working classes of the country. "The
idea Of opening the gates of this coun-
try to the fotsam and jetsam of the
world is all wrong" he said.
Republicans, headed by Rosenhaupt
and Nichols, rushed to the rescue of
the action of the president and stirred
up debate on the merits of the illit-
eracy test idea in immigrant regula-
ton. 1t developed that the majority
of the senators did not know exactly
what the provisions of the measure
were.

HOLDING CONCERNS RAPED
Stanley Calls Them Burglar Tools
of legitimate Business.

Washington, D. C.-Representative
Stanley, of Kentucky, urged the house
judiciary committee to recommend the
passage of his bill to prohibit holding
companies from engaging in interstate
commerce.
"The Sherman law" said Mr.. Stan
ley, els easily eluded and does not pre-
vent monopoly. Reorganization of the
Standard Oil and American Tobacco
companies was just as Ubiquitous as
the original trusts. To enforce the
Sherman law it must be proved that
there has been a combination in re-
straint of trade. There is no law to
prevent coal mine or factory from
owning a railroad, but there is law
to prevent the railroad from owning
the industrial corporation.
Holding companies are the burglar
tools of legitimate business. They
exist solely as subterfuges to escape
the penalty of the law, and should be
abolished. -

than to serve his country and who
wishes to re-establish peace in the
country and to insure the safety OF
the interests of it's sons and of the
foreigners.
He requested Ambassador Wilson to
notify President Taft and the diplo-
matte representatives of all that had
occurred and to give notification to the

WATER WASTE IS DEPLORED
Cooperation Needed Between State
and Federal Government.

Washington, D. C.-Extravagance
in the present system OF improving
waterways and the need of closer CO.
operation between states and Federal
government were emphasized in the
senate in fight over certain provls-
ions of the annual rivers and harbors
appropriation bill.
Senator Nelson, chairman of the
senate commerce committee, said bet
ter results could be secured in water
way improvement if congress would
appropriate lump sum and leave the
details of river improvement to COM
mission of army engineers.
Both branches of congress struggled
with appropriation measures through
out the day, the house devoting Its
time to further debate over the $ll3,-
600, 900 sundry civil bill. Many feat
ures of the measure were the subject
of extended debate.
The senate again took up the hight
over Federal waterpower control In
debate on the rivers and harbors bill.
An amendment providing for 30-foot
dam near Minneapolis by which water
power would be developed, was adopt
ed after friends of Federal control
had renewed the fight that centered
about the Connecticut river dam bill
last week.
Final action was not taken on the
bill. Senator Mclean, of Connecticut,
will offer the Connecticut river dam
bill, over which the senate passed q
week of debate, as an amendment te
the rivers and harbors bill.
The senate passed without debate
the annual diplomatic and consular ap
preparation bill authorizing So, 700, 0O(
for the support of the government
foreign service. The measure will
have to be perfected in conference
committee.
The senate committee on public
buildings and ground completed the
