TO SAVE GLOVES IS AN ART
Never buy cheap gloves. Good
gloves will clean over and over again,
they won't split, and in their last days
they will still look well. Don't buy
too small gloves. Quite apart from
the usual split, a hand which is pal
pably bursting from it's glove is most
inelegant. The pressure on the veins,
too, brings two other evils-face PIN
pies and a permanently enlarged
hand.
Trim and file the nails regularly,
and place in the ends Of the glove
fingers tiny pieces of fine wool. This
saves the tips wonderfully. If your
hands are moist always dust them
with fine starch or powder before
putting them on. If you are clever
at buttonhole work make, in the
palm, two little holes. Don't cut them,
but punch them with a stflletto.
These will ventilate the palm, keep
your hand cool, and, of course, it
saves the glove as well.
A torn place should be mended with
the buttonhole stitch once or twice
closely around the edges, and then
the latter should be joined together.
Use fine cotton, instead of silk, for
mending gloves.
Always fasten the first button of
a glove last. When gloves are taken
off they should not be rolled in ball
and thrown anywhere. Gloves should
be gently pulled into shape and laid,
right side out, in a proper box, or
sachet. When you have put on new
gloves don't close the fingers for 10
minutes at least. This gives the glove
a chance to "set" to your hand.
Always save old glove buttons.
They may come in nicely to replace
buttons on gloves in use. Long
party gloves should be laid in the
folds of a damp towel for an hour
or so before they are needed.

The estrangement grew up many
years ago. It was emphasized by di-
vergent political views and public ac-
tfvity promised on those opposed
principles. The father in turn, con-
gresham and state assemblyman,
has always been a Republican. The
son espouses and champions the
new Progressive cause-that which
made him governor.
In the political arena they set
themselves versus son-hke
adamant. In private they passed
each other without a word. The
home of each was closed against the
other.
The climax was reached when, in
the overthrow of the old standpat
regime by Hiram Johnson, his aging
father went down to a bitter defeat
for the state assembly where he had
so long been a shrewd leader.
He ascribed that defeat largely to
the activities of his boy" who felt it

Subsequently the wound was deep
ened. There were important meet

Grove L. Johnson is a prominent
member and to which the governor,
also an attorney, was not invited.
The father likewise remained away
from those functions where the son
shone.
But now the old man is getting
along in years. His boy, too, at the
close of his term as governor, is

REAL RURAL BANKS.

In the current issue of Farm and

pnblished at Springfield, Ohio, is an
article entitled, Real Rural Banks.
nv James B. Norman, who has been
in the employ of the department of
agriculture at Washington. Mr.
Norman gives a complete account of
the various European systems for ex-
tending credit to bankers. Recently
there has been wide discussion of this
matter in our own country. The i'm
portance of the subject of agricultural
credit and cooperation in the United
States led to the appointing of a COM
mission to visit European countries to
study the various systems in opera
ton. This commission has studied
these various systems of the different
European countries and is shortly to
report to congress on the matter. The
following is an extract from the ar
ticle:
Governments are slowly recogn1z-
ing that agriculture is the only uni
versal industry, and that its encour-
agement is justified by the results
which accrue to the whole nation. For
my part I can see little difference in

mote rural credit on easy terms to

FOR wife DESERTION.
Gov. Hodges Grants Requisition fof
II. S. Gilmore of Stafford

Governor Hodges today ended a
long fight over the Kansas wife deser-
ton law when he honored an apph-
cation for a requisition on the gov
ernor of Texas for the return of Rob-
ert E. Gilmore to Stafford county.
Gilmore left his happy home in STAFF

passed-and now ne objects to COM

The hearing before the governor to-
day was by no means the first chap

After the wife desertion act was
passed by the Kansas legislature in
1911, Mrs. Gilmore deemed it fit and
proper that her once loving and duti-
full companion should come back TO
Kansas and provide for her. So Gill

the arguments of counsel for both
sides, found that the contentious of
the defendant against the granting of
the reQuisition were without merit,
and granted the same.
This case is of more than ordinary
interest. All the parties concerned
live, or have lived in the city of st.

new warrant issued for the defend

MISSED THE MARK.
Are Nine Million Flies in 40 Gallons
Guess Was Six Million.


Topeka school boys and girls went
wide OF the mark sins their. gHesses as
to the number of flies contained in 140
liquid gallons. This is proved by the
fact that the nearest guess received
in the contest concluded at noon today
by Sanitary Sergeant ]. A. Ramsey,
was more than 3,00O,0 900 wide.
The first prize was won by Hazel
Euler, 459 Poplar street, who guessed
there were an even 100000 flies in the
40 gallons. The correct answer, OBJ
tanned by counting the flies in one
quart and multiplying by $50, the num-
Der of quarts in 140 gallons, is 9,449, 440,
there having been 1854 flies in the
quart counted.
The other answers were farther away
yet. The second prize was won by
Willie Mitchell, 466 Freeman avenue,
and the third prize went to lima Grant,
219 Polk street. The others missed the
correct number far indeed.
At the time the fly swatting season
closed Sergeant Ramsey estimated
roughly that the Topeka children had
killed 100000 flies. He had no idea
that he had three times that many
flies.
If you will multiply the number of
flies killed this year by sundry billions,
said to be propagated in a year from
a single pair, you can estimate how
many flies less there will be in To-
peka next summer as a result of the
fly swattng contest carried on by the
sanitary department this summer.
