BRETHREN CONFERENCE.
VIII Be Held in Lawrence From July
IS to %.

Lawrence, Kan, July 15.-The
United Brethren summer conference
arranged for at the annual conference
at Concordia last fall, will be held at
Lawrence July 1927. The conference
is composed of the Christian Endeavor
societies, Sunday schools, brother
hoods, woman's missionary aSsocia-
tions and the two ministerial associa-
tions of the north Kansas conference.
Bishops w. NJ. Weekley of Kansas
City, c. J. Kephart of Dayton, Ohio,
w. NJ. Bell of Los Angeles, Cal, and A.
T. Howard of Japan, besides other
strong talent will be on the ground to
aid in making this gathering one of
the best that has ever been held in the
state. There is every indication that
the attendance will be large, and that
people outside the north Kansas ter
ritory will be in attendance.
Woodlawn park is an ideal place for
just such a gathering, and is provided
with electric lights and every con-
Venience that one could desire. This
meeting means much to the United
Brethren of north Kansas conference.
The management hopes that every To-
cal church in the conference will send
delegates.

DAIRY EXAMINATIONS.
State Commissioner Makes Trip for
Individual Buyers.

Manhattan, Kan, July 15.-Exam1-
nations are being held by George S.
Hines the state dairy commissioner,
for the benefit of persons who are buy
ing cream. All who are working I'M
der a temporary permit, or who wish
permit to begin the business, are re-
quired to take this examination and
convince the state commissioner that
they are competent.
The examinations were started in
Seneca last week and will continue I'M
til every county has been visited. The
trip of the commissioner and his depu-
ties will be completed September 9, the
last examination being held at Column
bus.
All persons buying milk and cream
on a butterfat basis, are required by
law to obtain a permit. This require
ment makes it possible to limit the
business to individuals competent to
sample and test, insures familiarity with
the sanitary laws governing this par
ticular field and protects the producer
by enabling him to get the proper re-
turns for his milk and cream.
All temporary permits will be null
and void after the date of the last ex-
animation given in the locality in
which the possessor of said permit re-
sides. Persons holding temporary per-
mits will appear at the nearest exam
ination point to take the final eXami-
nation. Persons now holding temper
airy permits or expired final permits
are not eligible to future temporary
examinations.
All applicants will meet at the court
house at $50 a.. M, where a representa-
tive of the dairy commissioner will be
found The examination will consist
of a lecture and general discussion
from 10 a. m. until noon. Important
matters will be discussed, among which
will be the commercial grading of
cream. The official written examina-
ton will be held at 1 p. m.
Places and of examinations are as
follows:

EXPERIMENTAL WHEAT BETTER
Will Yield Six Bushels More Than
Other in Ellis County

Hays, July 15.-The state expert
ment station at Hays, in Ellis county,
is just concluding the harvest of $50
acres of winter wheat. The yield will
average not less than six bushels more
per acre than the yield obtained in
the county, and considerably more
than grain produced in other western
wheat counties. Some fields at the
experiment station will return as
much as % bushels per acre, while
others will yield around 16 bushels.
1t is now known that the locality in
general produced yields of 10 to IA
bushels only, while the average will
not be more than eight bushels.

HOPPERs DON'T MOVE.
Not Migratory, Says Professor-Kin
Them in Spring.

Lawrence, Kan, July 15.-That the
grasshoppers that are devastating
Ford and other western Kansas coun-
ties are not migratory, but live and
die on the same farms, is the claim
of DR.. S. j. Hunter, entomologist at
the State university. The best way
to rid the farm of the grasshopperS,
he says, is to go over it with a disc
harrow in the spring. Then those that
escape this unkind treatment should
be poisoned.
"By united action he declares,
''the farmers could keep down the
hoppers until they could do no
HARM" So it would seem that the
way to deal with the grasshoppers,
like other farmers troubles, is by CO.
operation.

Cutting Down
the Cost

S44S WV
You hear more or less
principally more = these
July days about the high
cost Of living.
ooh, dear, this is SO high
and that is so high"
Such phrases are COM
mon; but in some instances
they are superflous, or
would be if advertising
were given keener, more
thoughtful attention.
The dry goods dealer,
butcher, baker or grocer
who advertises materially
aids in reducing the high
cost of living.
He tells YOU where you
can buy to best advantage.
He shows you how, when
and where to save.
That naturally helps cut
down your living expenses.
He reduces his selling ex-
pense by increasing his vol
ume of business.
His advertisements are
seasonable, your needs are
seasonable. Harmony and

You should become thor
oughly acquainted with the

NAL.

SUITABLE AND PRETTY eIFTsL FATIGUE A FOE TO BEAU
Woman Who Would Retain Charm
Should Avoid Allowing Herself
to Be Victim of overwork.

Over-fatigue is q foe to beauty.
Even II there were no lasting effects
from 1t, which there are, a wearied
look IN woman's face adds nothing
to her charm. Rather, it Is as the ap.
pearance OF a faded flower compared
with that of fresh one. The muscles
and muscular tissues become grad
ually weak and show themselves with
particular perversity IN ugly rings and
bags about the eyes, In q lengthening
of the lines between the nose and
the mouth, and general sagging.
Fatigue, too, has direct effect upon
the stomach muscles, causing them to
sag also, and become unable to work
properly, and this, in turn. reflects
upon the complexion, rendering it sal
low and eventually blotched. So. I
say, avoid fatigue.
Rest whenever you can. Whatever
the routine OF your day may be, it is
possible for you to snatch q moment,
or, at least, a second or two, here and
there, of complete relaxation. Take

PATRIOTIC SACRIFICES.

An event OF historical interest oc-
CURED a few days ago, when Miss
Eleanor Wilson unveiled the monu-
ment at Valley Forge commemorat-
ing the sufferings of Washington's
half naked and i'll fed army in the
winter OF 1873. To many people an
occasion like this suggests the
thought that modern times are on a
much lower plane. There seems
little counterpart for all this pa
triotic devotion today
Yet during that same episode. Gen.
Washington ordered that fair levies
be made on the farmers for his
impoverished troops. Many OF them
defended their grain from this order
with their rifles, and burnt the barns
rather than give up. Meanwhile
Congress was quarreling over the
division of army promotions. There
was so little patriotic feeling that
often it would have an attendance
OF but ten or twelve.
If the present age does not reach
some of the old heights of historic
splendor, it never descends to the
mire of that coarser period.
That the capacity for self sacrifice
still exists will be believed by any
one who in 1898 saw the soldier
boys come home from Santiago. The
pitiable yellow of their jaundiced
skin, their tottering steps and fever
ed faces, would make perfect COM
panion piece even to Valley Forge.
Teaching patriotic devotion is, a
very subtitle thing. Flags on the
school house, patriotic songs, respect
to the national anthem-all are ex-
cellent as far as they go. But these
are matters OF good manners, while
love and devotion are different.
No country can command the
most loyal patriotism unless it dis
penses justice, opens free opportuni-
ties, and .embodies human sympathy
The modern patriot has no Valley
Forge OF physical suffering But
he at least must get out on some
very weary nights to vote at the
caucus, for men of high civic ideals
