by vegetable parasites, the result of an

Shampoo is a scientific formula that
directly attacks these parasites. A

CHINA CLAYs IN KANSAS?
wichita Commercial Club Believes IL
Has Made "Eind.''

Lawrence, Kan. Feb. 1S.-Kansas
may become the rival of Ohio and
Pennsylvania in the production and
manufacture of fine chinaware. The
Wichita Commercial club has sent
specimens of some of the clays of
Sedgwick county to Professor Erasmus
Haworth, director of the state geologi-
cal survey, for an analysis to deter
mine the commercial value of the
product. The Wichita club believes
that the clays. when properly worked
out, will produce a high grade of china
similar to the Haviland ware.
Professor Haworth has employed
Paul Teetor of Pittsburg, Pa, an ex-
pert in ceramic, to assist in the test
of the c1ays. Teetor is a graduate of
the University of Illinois and a pupil
under Doctor Bleininger, the most
widely known authority on clays in the
United States.

Larned, Kan, Feb. 1S.-There is a
rick" of corn which contains fifteen
thousand bushels on w. G. Wilson S
farm, four miles southeast of Garfield.

granaries and cribs in which to store
the grain, but piled it up on the
ground in a temporary granary. Last
year was one of the most prosperous
years in the history of Pawnee coun-
ty, Kansas.

SLAYER is AGAIN ARRESTED.
=. A. White Feared by Dodge Cit,
Men.

Dodge City, Kan, Feb. 1S.-Fay A.
White, who killed Gus KuhImann, last
December, was arrested here by the
city authorities on the charge of dis
charging firearms within the city linn
its.
The charge is based on Whites ac-
ton at the time of shooting Kuhlmann
with shotgun. The real reason for
the arrest is the complaint of a livery
man and others that White had shad-
owed them.
White confessed to killing Kuhl-
mann and pleaded the unwritten law.
However, at the trial he repudiated
his confession and alleged that his
victim had first attacked him with an
iron bar. He was cleared by the jury
and left town, but returned several
DAYS ago.
