ANT|-P|LL DAY.
Professor McKeever Would Have
Kansas Observe February Z.

Prof. w. A. McKeever of the de-
partment of child welfare of Kansas
university. has launched a movement
for the observance Of February Z. as
Cigarette Day. In urging war
fare on the cigarette he says:
THE cigarette situation in Kansas
will admit Of no halfway decision.
unanimous one way or the other. In
certain southern states, they are con-
Stunning more in cigarettes than they
are in bread. Kansas will do likewise
unless we act and act aggressively.
Not one-tenth of the boys who be-
come victims are able to turn back
even if they try. The enemy Of the
boy and his mother is sneering at our
laws while he continues to flood the
the needs of all the new as well as
all the old victims.
I'm view of the foregoing facts I
recommend that all the towns and
communities Of Kansas begin an ac-
tive crusade against the cigarette and
in favor Of the strict enforcement Of
the state antf-cigarette law. This
radical measure should be reprinted in
all the local papers and hung up in
form Of placards. I recommend also
that Sunday, February Z, be regarded
ministers and Sunday school workers
take some kind of active interest ap-
propriate to the occasion. In some in
stances q union meeting Of the
churches Sunday evening will prove
effective in arousing public sentiment.
Mere talk and abuse Of the cigar
cite will do little good. Specific plan
ming for the local campaign is what
will count as first STEP"

MANY BAD MISTAKES
Franklin County Teachers Criticise the
States New School Books.

Ottawa, Kan, Feb. 1.-The new
Little Kansan's Primer" for begin
ners is not satisfactory, at least to
divers of the teachers OF Franklin
county 1t is declared to contain so
many errors as to make it ridiculous
as text book.
1.-The book is a juvenile companion
fof Bill Nye's History of America"
said one of a number of teachers who
were discussing it the other day. 1T
is absolutely absurd to ask us to cor
textbook containing so many errors.
There are errors and many of them
in grammar, punctuation, quotations,
etc, throughout the book. 1 have
noted faults in these respects on more
than sixty pages; things that just pop
ped up in a hasty running over of the
pages-wrong indentation, careless
ness in quotation marks and the like
but many of them are chargeRble to
the author and inefficient proofread-
ing.
quoted; verses from the Bible, the
poets and modern writer's, for in
stance. Think Of crediting the Bible
with the words little baby as is done
on page IS. The words are not in the
book. Other Biblical excerpts are mis-
quoted. Even Eugene Fields classic
Little Boy Blue is garbIed. Words
are inserted that the author did not
use and other words Of his are
changed.
LAS a sample of the careless gram
the book find the line on page So:
Come Ruth. come quick Any eighth
grade pupil should know that final
word should be 'Quickly.'"

WORD FROM W. W. PEET
Relative of Topelxan Who Heads Mis-
sion in Turkey Writes OF War.

New York, Feb. Nv. w. Peet.
treasurer Of the Turkish missions Of
the American board in Constantine
pie. in letter received by the board,
tells of conditions in Turkey since the
outbreak Of the war in hat region.
Mr.. Peets letter confirms the re-
ports which come by way Of Petro-
grad and London papers to the effect
that Russia is in command OF the
Black sea. While rumors were afloat
in Constantinople that Van and Err
rom, in High Armenia, had fallen in
to the hands of the Russians, Mr.. Peet
did not believe this was yet true, as
he was still able to get kilograms from
the Americans in those cities, and OF
course, if they had fallen, communities
ton would be completely cut off.
Within a week the American board
ha.- received letters from tWo-thirds
Of its stations in Turkey. The 209
men and women who are working
under this board in the forty odd sta
tons and outstaticns Of Turkey and
the Balkans were fairly well. Secre-
tary Barton has issued q bulletin,

"HIeH JINkS" REVIEW.

High Jinks'' is a pleasing produc-
ton Its presentation at the Grand
Saturday matinee and night left an
array OF Topeka theater goers to talk
it over without sarcasm and malice.
To Masie Gay belonged the credit
for most of the comedy of the play. A
Coincidence of irresistible personality,
she was a pronounced success in her
part as Adelaide Fontaine. Madel-
aine Nash had the leading singing role
and her high soprano voice won favor.
High Jinks'' had more principles
than any other musical show here
this year. The performance went
with snap and vigor. The chorus was
large and we'll drilled. Many pretty
musical hits were introduced.
The audience was with the COM
pany at both performances Saturday
and that helped a lot to make High
links" one Of those productions which
will be pleasantly remembered. S.

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid Of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this. get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all of your dandruff will
be gone. and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy, every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff won may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once. and your hair will be fluffy,
Iustrous, glossy. silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store It ID inexpensive and new
er fails to do the Work-Adv.

MAKE IT PERSONAL.
Legislative Measures Increase Liza
bility Concern In Kansas.


Personal and municipal liability
promise to be extended to consid-
cradle extent if proposed measures
pending before the Kansas legislature
are enacted into law. A bill making
the owner Of property where fires &C.
Cured liable for damages to adjacent
property in case it is shown that the
fire in the first place was due to
carelessness, negligence or violation of
the order of any legal authority, is
one method.
Another bill proposes to make cities
liable for damages caused by drunk
ards and still another makes owners
of property liable for damages by
drunken persons. Yet another makes
cities responsible for damages caused
by reckless driving of automobiles or
motorcycles. 1t does not take the
liability away from the driver or own
er of the car, but merely adds the
city.
The idea is to prevent drunkenness
and make city officers enforce the law
to prevent fires and make owners
keep their premises clean and free
from hazards, and to prevent automo-
bile accidents by compelling cities to
make and enforce speed regulations.
AS it now is it is claimed that there is
too much laxness in the enforcement
of many of these preventive measures.

FIRE AT COUNCIL GROVE.
A Girl Suspected of Trying to Burn
Sheriff's Residence.

Council Grove. Kan, Feb. IA fire
of peculiar origin occurred here Satur-
day in the sheriff's residence which re-
suited in considerable loss, largely due
to water.
Sheriff r. A. Woods had just finished
his supper and had gone down town on
an errand when he was informed that
his residence was on fire. He hurried
back home and found the beds in two
of the bedrooms afire and the building
filled with smoke.
Suspicion points strongly to a 16-year-
old girl employed by the sheriff to do
the housework, az she was the last per-
son upstairs, which WAS but a few
minutes before the fire was discovered,
and she is being held for investigation.
The sheriff's residence and the Jail
are under the same roof and adjoining
the court house, but no prisoners were
in the Jail.

ALL IT IS WORTH
Kansas Farmers Get Fair
Prices for Their Wheat.
Report of Department of Agri-
culture Now Before Congress.

washin1ton Feb. because OF
trenuous complaint of Kansas farmers
that wheat in the state was selling FOR
20 to 25 cents q bushel less than the
market price would justify. congress
last summer ordered an investigation
to be made into the matter by the de-
partment Of agriculture. The report OF
the Investigation concluded last month,
now before congress, appears to moi
cate that the farmers Of Kansas. as
q general rule. are obtaining all their
wheat is WORTH
part Of the summary of the report
says:
in Kansas are based largely upon the
prices in Kansas City. Mo-. and at the
Gulf ports for export. From these basic
prices must be substracted the freight
rate shippers profit. and other in
cidental charges and the margin taken
out by the country elevator to determine
the price which is paid to the farmer.
"Since the margins of profit taken by
the grain dealers in the larger markets
are very small-averaging about 1 cent
q bushels-it appears that the farmers
Of Kansas, as q general rule, are OBJ
tanning all their wheat is WORTH
Country Buyers Profits.
In referring to the profits of the coun-
try buyers, the report says:
Country buyers work on margin
Of from 21a to cents per bushel.
Hence, the country price on a given
day would be the price for which the
buyer can sell his grain on track at
the elevator, less his margin. For ex-
ample, on last September %, an ele-
vator which allows a margin of
cents per bushel on all wheat purchased
received several track bids averaging
90A cents per bushel, basis No. hard,
which is the contract grade in Kansas.
The quotation to farmers on this day
was the 'on-track price quoted the ele-
vator less its margin of cents, in this
case making the price to the farmers
S6% cents per bushel.
When the local buyer does his ship
ping on a commission basis he will take
the spot price at Kansas City, substract
the freight and other charges incident
to selling in Kansas City. and deduct
his margin. If the market quotation at
Kansas City on spots Is 81 cents, the
freight to Kansas City cents. commits
sion and other charges IN cents. and
the elevator margin cents, the local
market price would be 81 cents minus
81 cents, or S7x cents.
