WATERS IS NAMED
President Of X. s. A. C. for Po-
sitiOn on Federal Board.
Senator Thompson Says Kansas
DELEGATION Is for Educator.

William II. Thompson, United States
senator, in Topeka today stated that
in all probability Kansas shortly would
be awarded another big federal ap-
pointment in tn naming of Henry J.
Waters, president of the Kansas Ag-
riculturai college, as a member Of the
federal trade commission.
The Kansa delegation is boosting
Waters, Senator Thompson said. and
they were reasonably sure of his ap-
p0intment by President Wilson.
The commission is to be composed Of
five members and the position pays
0,0OO a year. President Waters was
at one time a candidate for the appoint
ment of secretary of agriculture.
This appointment will, l believe, be
second in Importance only to appoint
ment to the supreme BENCH" said Sen
ator Thompson. 1T will be one of the
big gifts at the hands Of the president.
and Mr.. Waters has been made the
subject Of the most careful considera-
ton by Mr.. Wilson. The delegation has
done everything in its power to further
his nomination for the commission and
now expect it to be made public from
the White House at any time. Mr..
Waters is recognized at Washington as
one of the big men Of the country and
has recently acquitted himself ad-
mirably in his special investigation and
report on educational and other condi-
tiOnS III the FHlllpplues, where ne went
az q special commissioner"
Under the act of congress creating the
trade commission. the bureau of corpo-
rations will cease to exist and all the
Investigations now in the hands Of that
body will be continued by the trade
commission. That body will have great
powers for the collection of evidence
bearing on trade conditions and BUSH
ness abuses throughout the United
States. The commission will have au-
thority over all businesses organized as
corporations and not partnerships. ex-
cept banks and railroads. 1t will re-
port its Investigations to the attorney
general.
The trade commission act does not
replace or vitiate the Sherman anti
trust act. under which criminal prosecu-
lions are now made of business GRIM
1nals.
Members of the trade commission will
receive salaries of $4,000 a year. There
are to be five members, the original ap-
pointments being for three, four. five.
six and seven years. Subsequent APP
pointments will be for seven years. The
commission win be non-partisan.

COOP FOR THE YOUNG DUCKS
Fowls Must Have Proper Shelter Dur

Rain ls Often Fatal.

The young ducks must have a coop
convenient to drive them In when a
storm threatens. They soon learn
what that coop is for. and after a
storm or two learn to scuttle out fer
it at the first dash of rain. A hard,
drenching rain will prove fatal to
young ducks. They are easily run into
a coop, and don't try to get away and
hide from you, as young chickens do;
the very smallest duck setting out
after the large ones. eager to find a
place of safety. After storm, II you
