EUery Day Brings NelO LOuOer
Priced Suits

men at Si450 to $4,000 and for young women at
s14.5O $500.
Unlike nearly all suits sold at low prices these
were made specially with deliberate purpose to
provide low-priced suits of a new and different
kind not to be found anywhere else
They were made over the models used in the
making of the highest priced ready-to-wear suits.
They show all the new fashion features of
hgh-priced suits including tunic and tier skirts,
Russian tunics. and general Frenchy lines
The fabrics are pure wool and of finer grade
than those used in any suits sold at the same low
We think that these straight facts should
weight on the who wants the best that her
money can buy in new, low-priced Spring Suits.

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAR
First Used in Franco-Prussian Con-
fiict, and Their Value Has Since
Been Recognized.

The first war in which pigeons we're
used as messengers was the Franco
Prussian, and the birds carried news
into and out Of besieged Paris a post
was established at Tours, and right
through the siege regular mails were
carried between Paris and Tours by
pigeons.
It is not generally known that all
the armies and navies of the world
can fall back on official pigeons, if
necessary. and that the birds belong
ing to the British navy have their
official standing and numbers just as
the handymen have.
During the Boer war the British
army had its carrier-pigeon system.
The birds brought messages from all
the towns beleaguered by the Boer in
vaders, and when Sir George Whites
force was cooped up in Ladysmith
winged messengers carried several dis
patches from that gallant officer to the
men who were slowly fighting their
way to his relief.

LOSS OF WAR EXAGGERATED
Real Facts as to Mortality and Prop
erty Destruction in Six
Months Conflict.

The destruction of war is not nearly
as great as it seems, Engineering Maya
zine states. If people do not produce
neither do they consume, and the man
who may have been making and spend
ing SO day comes down to the 81
or even to the ten-cent level without
particular detriment to himself or to
his similarly-placed neighbors. The
total wealth of Germany is $500, 000,-
600 and even If the actual war wastes
were 100000 day this in a whole
year would amount to less than 1 pei
cent of the accumulated wealth of the
fatherland. The average death rate in
Germany is probably twenty per thou
sand, or 100000 a year. Kill 1,000,-
600 soldiers and you have only doubled
for one year the normal outflow. In
four years, if the normal rate were
iessened from 20 to Is per cent, the
loss would be numerically made up.
The loss of life, the loss of time, the
loss Of property in a six-months' war
is, after all, insignificant compared to
the great enduring life Of the nation.

STUDYING BY MAIL
Kansas Township Trustees
Take Correspondence Course
In Road Building.
IS ENROLLED WITH K.s.A.C.
eraI Hundred Will Enter Before
Term Ends.

The Kansas Agricultural College has
thirty-fve students in the correspond
ence course in road building, accord
ing to the report received recently by
the state board of administration. Last
spring the board announced that the
college was going to establish a CORE
spondence course in road working for
the benefit of the township trustees
and road oyerseers Of the state who
could not go to the college to study
road making
The course has been open only a
month and thirty-flve township trus-
tees, who are the active heads of the
road work in each of the 1892 town
ships in the state, have already en-
rolled and it is expected that the total
enrolment will be several hundred be-
fore the winter ends, as there have
been a large number of inquiries
about the course.
Kansas is the only state providing a
correspondence course in building
roads. The course was prepared by
the highway engineers at the college
to fit Kansas conditions, where dirt
ent time. The course takes up the
building Of dirt roads in practically all
the different kinds of soils the state
has. Road building conditions vary
greatly over the state and sometimes
there are three or four different kinds
of soil in the same township, each re-
quiring a different method of treat
ment to make good dirt roads.
The course of study comprises a
large number of printed lectures and
many photographs of good, bad and
Indifferent road building and repair
ing.
A large number of road overseers
and township trustees attend the high
way building demonstrations conduct
ed by the college as a part of its reg
ular work and in the farmers insti-
tutes With thirty-five road builders
enrolled in the correspondence course
in the first month it is offered indi-
Gates that road builders of the state
are taking a more active interest in
road construction in Kansas than ever
before

companied by terrific lightning and
hail, but little rain fell.
Four members Of the family OF John

mile from the site Of his home; Mrs.
John Derfelt, skull crushed and body
blown fifty yards; Derfelt infant, Is

easterly course several farm buildings

War and Football.

Ya1e's Bowl, the fell cirque" or

battle with Harvard will be played
this fall, viii be the objective of %
trainloads from New York alone on
the day of the game. The whole
structure will seat 81 600 people, and
it is announced that every seat in
the Bowl is a good seat"-that is, it
has an unobstructed view of the play
ing field. Despite Cleveland H. Dodge's
protest against holding these annual
mimic battles" during wartime, the
Yale Alumni Weekly says they should
go on. If the contest in Europe has
any direct reaction on American col
lege football it would seem to lie in
the direction of eliminating the brutal
factors of the game.
