FRIENDLY VISITORS
Organization to Help the Needy Holds
Meeting.

Families that need a friend will be
furnished a good one this winter ac-
cording to the plans made by the
Friendly Visitors who met at the
Provident association Thursday after
noon. Many families are on the point
of dissolution on account of inability
to solve their own problems, says Mrs.
E. J. Callahan, and should a friend be
at hand that would help them out, the
rough bumps could be smoothed and
the family be kept intact, the ultimate
aim of any charity.
The Friendly Visitors are an unor-
ganized club with an unlimited mem
bership. Those present at the meet
ing Thursday were: Mrs. Fred Close,
Mrs. c. w. Seely, Miss Thora Spauld-
ing, Miss Maude Spaulding, Mrs ]. G.
Rowland, Mrs. J. G.. Mitchell, Mrs. S.

AVOID The FADS
Farmers Are the Best Teachers
in the World.
President Waters Gives Advice
to High School Workers.

1.-The high school teacher of agricul-
ture in Kansas must be brought to
the realization that he must help solve
the agricultural problems of Kansas -
said H. J. Waters, president of the
State Agricultural college, before the
agricultural round table at the State
Teachers convention this afternoon.
By using the high school laboratory
for practical experiments and leaving
alone the fads of agriculture, Presi-
dent Waters showed how the high
school could better fulfill it's purpose.
Also the instructor should become ac-
quainted with the farmers OF the COM
munity and work oct their problems.
THE farmers are the best teachers in
the world said Professor Waters.
We cooperate with them at Manhat-
nigh school shouldn't. This will give
the farmer confidence and interest in
the agricultural schools.
The Agricultural college president
called the attention to the low corn
production in Kansas. This is an
excellent experiment for the high
schools to work out. We should pro-
duce eighty bushels more per acre
third of the proper number of stalks
to the acre or that only one-third
bear ears? This kind of question the
high school should work out.
Il cannot emphasize too strongly
the benefit of the agricultural story in
teaching this subject. Stories with
good point to them along agricultural
lines are valuable and should be used

Professor Waters closed by showing
now the teacher could help improve
the sanitary conditions of farming and
increase the respect for the calling of
the farmer

The Flat on the Top Floor.
Braine crawled from his uncomfo9t-
able hiding place. His clothes were
soiled and damp, his hat gone. BY
q hairs breadth he had escaped the
clever trap laid for him. Hargreave
was alive, herhad escaped: Braine was
as certain of this fact as he was Of
his own breathing. He now knew
how to account for the fiickering light
in the upper story of the warehouse.
His ancient enemy had been watch
ing him all the time. More than this.
Hargreave and the meddling reporter
were in collision. In the flare Of
lights at the end Of the gun-play he
had caught the profile Of the reporter.
Here was dangerous man. who must
be watched with the utmost care.
He. Braine. had been lured to COM
NIT an overt act, and by the rarest
good luck had escaped with nothing
more serious than cold chill and .
CALLING disappointment.
He crawled along the top Of the
pier, listening, sending his dark-accus-
toned glance hither and thither. The
sky in the east was growing paler and
paler. In and out among the bales
of wool, bags of coffee and lemon
crates he slowly and cautiously
wormed his way. A Waterman pa
trolled the Office side of the ware
house. and Braine found It possible
to creep around the other way, thence
into the street. After that he straight
ened up, sought secondhand shop
and purchased soft hat. which he
pulled down over his eyes.
He had half dozen rooms which
he always kept in readiness for such
adventures as this. He rented them
furnished In small hotels which never
asked questions OF their patrons. To
one OF these he went as fast as his
weary legs could carry him. He al
ways carried the key. Once in his
room he donned fresh wearing ap
parel, linen, shoes, and shaved. Then
he proceeded downstairs. the second
hand hat shading his eyes and the
upper part of his face.
At half past twelve Norton entered
the Knickerbocker cafe-restaurant.
and the first person he noticed was
Braine, reading the mornings paper,
propped up against the water carafe.
Evidently he had just ordered. for

But Norton reached the captain first
Other reporters had besieged him, but
they had succeeded in gathering the
vaguest kind Of information. They had
no description of Hargreave, while
Norton had. Before going down to the
boat, however. he had delved into the
past of the Princess Olga Perigoff. It
cost him q pocketful of money, but the
end justified the means. The princess
had no past worth mentioning. BY
piecing this and that together he be-
came assured that she had told the
simple truth regarding the relationship
to Florence's mother. A cablegram
had given him all the facts In her his
tory; there were no gaps or discrep-
ancies. It read clear and frank. Trust
Russian secret agent to know what
he was talking about.
So Norton's suspicions-and he had
entertained some-were completely
lulled to sleep. And he wouldn't have
doubted her at all except for the fact
that Braine had been with her when
he had introduced Hargreave. Har-
greaye had feared Braine: that much
the reporter had elected from the but

evidence. Braine had been In New
