Whiskers are coming back into
style.
This remarkable discovery has just
been made when the casual observer
notices the many feeble growths OF
boards that are starting upon the lips
of Topeka business men. Men who
have been smooth faced for years have
decided to enter the new fall and win
ter whiskers brigade with the result
dealers have had to order large guam
titles of curling irons for those who
are developing the droopy foliage.
Those who have been derided for ten
years for wearing muStacheS, now feel
that their perseverance has been fruit
full when they notice that their neigh
bors are cultivating the whisker and
beard habit.
The young men of Topeka have
been growing the small barely per-
ceptible French mustache and do not
put on an array as the older men do.
The stylish young Topekans apply
themselves diligently for the purpose
of having the faint French style of
hair on their upper lip \ year ago
it took a youth of iron nerve to wear
one of that variety but now the times
are changed.
Men of middle age appear to favor
the ''Ironisw Brown" style of q mus
tache, the kind that droops down to
enable the wearer to tie a knot with
both ends. This style is not widely
known in Paris but in Topeka and
other cities of Kansas, the ''snaky''
droop is not unusual. Railroad of
ficialS who formerly clipped their
mustaches short. now are giving them
less care SO that the result is that
whiSlSerS begin to traverse all of the
lower parts of the face. The only
style of facial luXuriance that has not
risen in popular approval is the old
Populist design of foot long boards.
which are novelty at the present
time. The time may come, however
when the Pop beard may be common
y worn by Kansas youths if an edict
to that eject is sent over the wires
from London OF Paris.
Women are the strongest DIRECTORS to
the new system of identifying the face
but many men acquired their whiskers
while the families enjoyed their vaca-
lions The men hold that they success
fully courted their sweethearts now
wives when whiskers were in style and
that pe=haps love might warm in tire
hearts of the ''wifeYs if smooth faces
take a back step. Some men say that
they are more DISTINGUISHED looking with
boards on; others admit that noses and
other parts of the face look better when

The present trial, which is being
watched with great interest through
out the state, probably will form tho
concluding chapter of one of the most
puzzling mysteries which the author
tiles and courts of Oklahoma have
ever faced. Although two men were
found guilty of the murder, the real
motive and inside history of the crima
never have become publicly known.
Charles T. Reuter- was mysteriously
murdered in his bedroom on the night
of May >, 1912. and robbed of a large
sum Of money and diamonds. Sus-
picion pointed to Mackenzie, for years
a friend of the family, the theory be-
ing that he wanted Reuter- out of the
way that he might pay court to tho
wife. On the strength of evidence
tending to show that his attentions
were welcomed by Mrs. Reuter- she
was also accused. The theory was
that Baker was a hired assassin and
that Reuter- was an accomplice to
the extent of driving the murder car
in which Baker escaped from the
scene of his crime.
Mackenzie, on the states theory
passed the night in Skiatook,
neighboring town, to establish an
alibi. Mrs. Reuter- was to remain
quiet in her room until after the fatal
shot was fired and the murderer had
awaken the neighborhood in order
to divert suspicion from herself. The
reward of the murderer was to be the
money and valuables of his victim and
5000 additional. with eminent legal
counsel to defend him should he be
apprehended.
The states theory of the crime, so
far as it related to Mrs. Reuter- on
that night, was broken down at the
trial of the two men. 1t was shown
she began to scream soon as the
murderer's presence in the house was
known, and she almost caused his
capture.
Mrs. Reuter- is confident of her ac-
Quitta1- Public opinion seems to be
in her favor, and it is believed by
her numerous friends that she wilt
be able clearly to establish her inno-
cence of any actual or implied share
in the alleged conspiracy which led
to the murder of her husband

MONEY WASTED ON BIG ROAD
Don't Neglect Local Roads for Great
Trunk Highways, Is Warming.

That much of the road money spent
in counties and townships is wasted
through ineffective methods is recog-
nized as ''notoriously true" by the ma
tional grange monthly, which strongly
advises the local oranges not to neg
lect the roads near at home while
taking an active interest in accom-
plishing great trunk highways for
state and nation" 1t is set forth that
these local roads form a part of the
general scheme of highways and
should receive their fair share of at
tention, though this is not a matter
of national concern, but it does believe
that more careful attention to local
roads and road expenditures is impera-
tive. 1t also believes that every
grange everywhere should be interest
ed in and responsive to the large
grange policy as a whole, for good
roads everywhere, state and national"
1.-The roads of a country naturally
resolve themselves into four classes;
local or township, county, state and
national, and in their construction and
maintenance the township, county,
state and nation each carries it's spe-
cial responsibility and should be en-
dowed with it's special function" as
serts Chairman George c. Diehl of the
A. A. A. national good roads board.
1.-THE local roads are of sole interest
to the communities, and their cost
should not be passed on to the nation
al government. Some local roads in
every community DecOIne county TCduS
in their uses, and some county roads
become state roads by virtue of the
traffic they carry. When these changes
in travel occur then should also come
the change in responsibility and ad
ministration. Likewise, some state
roads become national in scope and
importance.
They reach from great center to
great center of population, and assume
predominant commercial Importance.
While accOmm Odating the travel from
the farms to the market places along
their routes, they also provide for the
through travel. 1t must be remem
bered that road traffic of today is not
limited to that from farm to maket
place, but extends from village to vii
lage, from county to county, from city
to city, from state to state.
Motor trucks must be reckoned
with as factors in transportation. Their
economic advantage in short hauls is
causing their adoption by hundreds
where the roads have been improved,
and the vast extension of their use
