at the beginning there was great ri

division managers for a short time
did business as it had been done for
years In the harvesting and machin-
cry lines. Those methods of compe'

played the game without limit or con

But these conditions were MOI

international Harvester company in

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
A DIVORCE CURE
KANSAS BELIEVES THAT WIVES
SHOULD KNOW HOW TO DO
HOUSEHOLD WORK

Topeka, Kas., Nov. 5-Domestic
science is a cure for the divorce
courts, in Kansas at least, and this
state is extending its domestic science
work as rapidly as possible and even
into the country district schools.
Kansas was rather slow taking up
domestic science as a regular part of
its school work, and it is only within
the last year or two that really effec-
tive work has been done. And it is
only recently that Kansas has found
that the knowledge on the part Of
wives Of how to COOK good meals and
get them cheaply in times of high
prices, and knowing how 10 sew lit
tie and keep house in good shape. had
any effect on the divorces.
The big Kansas schools have the
figures to prove the assertion that do
nestle science is a divorce cure, and
Kansas is after the divorces.
Almost four thousand girls have
completed the work in domestic
science at the Kansas Agricultural col
lege, and according to the best avail
able records about 1900 Of those girls
nave married At the state university
about 1000 girls have taken the do
nestle science work and 1900 are
married. At the normal school and
ts various branches 1000 girls have
aiken the work and about 600 are
married.
Not a single girl who took the COM
Dlete domestic science course at any
The state schools has ever sought a
and as far as the information
can be secured not single one has
from her husband.
For three years domestic science
has been made part Of the work in
the high schools Of the state. The
state itself believes so much in the
value Of this study that it pays each
high school 5000 a year as an induce
ment for the school board to establish
domestic science. This money goes
toward the payment Of the salary Of
the domestic science teacher Now
the state proposes to aid the rural
schools which will teach domestic
science to the country boys and girls
by requiring every country school
teacher to take a SIX months course
in that work before she is eligible to
teach, ana the state will furnish the
necessary supplies to each school dis
trict for carrying on the study in the
country schools

less than mile through a constant
hail of bricks One strikebreaker was

-Four other strikebreakers and a

Conditions became so dangerous for
the strike breakers that they lay
down on the floor Of the car and, after
a few minutes, as sign of surrender,
threw the controller and all their arms
into the street. They we're then
taken in charge by strikers and po-

TROUBADOURS To
BE IN VEGAS
TONIGHT
THE BYRON TROUPE is BETTER
THAN EVER, WHICH is A
STRONG STATEMENT

Tonight at the Elks' club will occur
ar entertainment which is expected
to be one Of the best Of the fall and
winter season Byrons Troubadors,
the company which pleased an i'm
mense audience at the Duncan opera
house last fall, will be the attraction.
This company is made up of young
men who are thorough musicians.
They sing and play music of the best
character. Last year they brought
to Las Vegas several new musical
selections which are still fayorites
here. Their program this time will
contain many new songs, as well as
some of the old fayorites. There is
every indication that large crowd
will greet the Troubadours this even
ing. Tickets are on sale at 81. They
can be purchased at Murpheys drug
store or at the Elks club this even
| ing.
In organizing this company the
management has exercised special
care in the selection of its members,
both as to ability and morals. Each
member in his own particular spe-
cialty has had the advantage of
years of training with American and
European masters. The galaxy Of art
lists comprising this company places
! it in class By itself, the GREATEST
constellation of stars in the firlha-
ment Of concert companies ever be-
fore the American and European pub
lie.
In the native songs and chants of
the tropics, to the more finished cdm-
positions Of modern composers, their
voices blend in harmony, rarely equal
ed and never excelled, always pleas
ing the most fastidious audiences
The programs presented are in
structive, amusing, and always con
tain something to please every one.
This company has gained a broad idea
of the public's taste fot clean and
wholesome entertainment through
their experience in touring America
and the countries Of Europe,
The great variety Of instruments
played by the Troubadolrs, eacht art
list being a thorough master com
bined with their harmonious songs,
gives an evening ol pleasure long to
be remembered.
Throughout the Program they in
troduce several oriainal compositions
by members Of the cmpany, Alsc
