MAY Ask FOR FEDERAL PROBE
OF COLD STORAGE AFFAIRS

Chicago clubwomen, who have
been making an unsuccessful as
sault upon the high price of eggs by
means of the boycott, today threat
ened to ask for a federal investiga-
ton of the cold storage situation in
Chicago, g.. s... IT,,

president of the league of Cook
county women's clubs. Eggs should
be down to 80 cents, whereas they
are selling for 45 to so cents today"
James E. Wetz, whose associates
call him the "egg king, f" because he
is expected to clear over 100000 out
of his corner" in eggs, responded
to Mrs Belts threat with declara-

nE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA

A dear old lady who was very sot
In her prejudices was asked just why
abe didn't like certain man. She had
no particular reason that she could
think of at the instant, but she had been
10 emphatic in her expression of dis
like that she knew she would have to
ind some excuse-at once. Just at that
moment she happened to glance out of
the window and saw him passing by
He carried neatly rolled umbrella
though it hardly threatened rain
Quick as a flash she answered her
questioner, He carries an umbrella
whether it's raining or not-he is a
'softie'''
But" said her friend, also looking
out Of the window, here comes your
son William, and he is carrying an UNI
brella"
that's another matter-I don't line him
anyhow-and besides, it all depends on
who carries the umbrella" she replied
triumphantly.
That is the position some people have
taken regarding that wholesome and
refreshing beverage Coca-Cola- They
have said good many unkind things
about it and in each instance have had
1t proved to them that their tales were
not true.
Finally they seized upon the fact that
Coca-Cola gets much of its refreshing
righteousness from the small DIT OF car
feline that it contains. They looked upon
that as splendid argument against 1t.
Then, like the old lady who was remind
ed of son William. they were reminded
that it is the caffeine in their favorite
beverages, tea and coffee, (even more
than in Coca-Cola) that gives them
their refreshing and sustaining quail
ties
But does that stop their criticism of
Coca-Co1a for containing caffeine? No
their answer is similar to the old
lady's-they say But that's another
matter'-what they mean is Being
prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik-
ing tea or coffee, 1t all depends on
what carries the caffeine"
We think the joke is on them-for
caffeine is caffeine, and If it is not
harmful in one it can't be harmful in
another. We all know that it is not
harmful in tea or coffee-that it is
really helpful in whatever it is-this
is bound to include Coca-Cola.
OF course, the truth is, that having
started an attack on false premises and
having had what they thought were
good reasons for criticism proved to
be no reasons at all, they are grasping
at an excuse which does not exist, to
explain a prejudice. So you see, after
all, it all depends on who carries the
umbrella to people who are determined
| to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.

Paralysis Mild This Year.

That the infantile paralysis prevar
lent in certain sections of the state.
was only mild form of the disease
is the conclusion of DR.. ]. j. Sippey.
acting secretary OF the state board of
health, who finished recently his re-
port on the disease for July and Au-
gust. There have been five fatalities
reported from the twenty-eight cases
in the state, death rate of Is per
cent, as against the usual death rate
of rs per cent. OF the twenty three
survivors. nine are reported to have
shown marked improvement, which
means that they probably will not sui.
fer paralysis from the disease. This
is also a higher percentage of recov-
cries than usual.
The deaths reported were one each
from Doniphan. Labette. Edwards,
Jackson and Norton counties. The
number of cases since July 81, when
the first reports came in from Par
sons, were, by counties: Anderson 1.
Crawford 1, Doniphan 2, Edwards 4.
Ellsworth 2, Jackson 2, Labette 10,
Neosho 1, Norton 1, Sedgwick 1. Sum-
ner and Wilson /; an unofficial re-
port of a case in Lincoln county also
has come to the board of health, but
has not been confirmed.
There really was no epidemic of
the disease declared DR.. Sippey.
even in Parsons, where there were
ten cases. In every case Investigated
the disease could be traced directly
to unsanitary conditions. In Parsons
an unsanitary groceryman probably
was responsible for three cases. His
store and its conditions are now be-
ing investigated by an inspector from
the board of health, and if he does
not clean up he probably will have
to go out of business.
"One noticeable fact in connection
with the disease is that while Sc per
cent of the cases were of children
under school age, 60 per cent of
the deaths were of persons older than
school age There were five cases
among persons older than 10 years;
three of these were fatal. OF the
twenty-three cases under 10 years two
were fatal. The one case in Norton
county, where there was a bad cpl
demic several years ago, resulted IA
tally; the victim was a young man FL
years old, the only PRISON of age who
had the disease this year.

Luxury.

The late Robert L. MacCameroa,
the noted artist, used to tell a story
in illustration of the almost incred--
ible luxury of the multi-millionaire
class.
"A Fifth avenue 1ady''-so he would
begin-was shopping with her maid
in the Rue de la Paix. The lady en-
tered a lingerie Enlistment, and
there she purchased a great deal of
cobwebby, handmade lingerie
Finally the attendant, displaying
delicate continuance of lace and rib
bon and embroidery, said:
:. Would you like to have this hand
some nightgown case, madam
No. said the lady smiling No,
it would be of no use TO me-
..She smiled again and her maid ex-
planned to the attendant.
My mistress, you see. has new
nightie every night.

KANSAS HAPPENINGS
LATE ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM
ALL PARTS OF THE SUN
FLOWER STATE.
MADE MONEY ON HIS APPLES
Farmer Near Troy Got $500 for Five
Acres of Jonathans-Case Shows
Value of Intelligent Care
of the Trees.

George Foster Kent win clear over
$500 this year from five acres of
Jonathan apples, or $50 trees. About
three years ago he bought a neglect
ed and rundown orchard that adj
Joined Troy on the north. Neighbors
believed he had made bad deal, but
he set about learning the orchard
business, and trimmed, sprayed and
intelligently cared for his orchard.
Kent sold his Jonathans to GridIey-
Maxon & Co. of Chicago for 1925 a
barrel They furnish the barrels and
do the packing and he pays for the
picking and hauling. There will be
about seven hundred barrels from the
$50 trees, not counting the Gull apples
which are expected to pay for the
picking and hauling.
Mr. Kent also has about 1900 Ben
Davis apple trees He sold his Ben
Davis apples Tuesday to Stacey Broth
ers of Lincoln for 1925 a barrel, and
they furnish the barrels and pack the
apples.
Orchardists who did not spray will
make little or nothing, although apple
prices are about double what they
were last year. Other orchards tell
the same story, but the Kent orchard
illustrates and shows what may be
done with a Kansas orchard under
proper handling. In 1910 the orchard
produced 500 barrels of bulk apples
In 1911 there was good bloom, but
the orchard was not sprayed and the
crop was so poor that it was given to
man for picking it, except for about
$50 worth that was marketed. In 1912
the orchard was sprayed for the first
time, being given five sprayings, and
that year the orchard yielded 1900
barrels that were marketed for near
ly $4,000. In addition other apples
were picked up from the ground and
marketed for forty cents hundred.
