AT TRADE SCHOOL
Manual Training Work Will be
Shown Friday - Excellent
Results from instruction.

The annual public exhibition oi
manual training work, as conducted
in the local schools, will be held
Friday in the manual training build
ing, Barracks and New streets, in
the rear of the grammar school.
Work in the various branches, In
cluding drawing, elementary hand

and woodwork. Will be placed on
display. The exhibit will be espec-
tally interesting this year, and the

tation to everyone to visit the man
ual training school on this occasion.
The exhibit will be held both day
and night Friday, the hours being
from a. m. to $3.50 p. m, and from
a to 9 p. m. The object of the ex-
hibition is to give local people an
opportunity to see the work that has
been accomplished during the past
term, and parents of the pupils
should be especially interested Many
people in this city, as well as other
communities throughout the country,
are disposed to look upon the intro
duetion of manual training work as
fad" little realizing that results
have proved conclusively that this
branch of education, fitting the
scholars in certain lines of practical
work while pursuing their regular
lines of study, Is a great factor in
raising the standard of Americas
public schools by turning out schol-
ars who have been equipped in such
a manner that they may adapt them
selves efficiently to any occasion that
may arise ia the future. 1t is to
show the work that the local schools
have accomplished along this line
that this exhibit has been planned,
and the Board of Education hopes
to have many people take advantage
of it. The men, especially, should
be interested in the woodwork ex-
hibit, while the sewing will natural
ly attract the attention of the wom-
en-. One of the features of the sew
ing exhibit will be the dis
play of the dresses of the graduation
class, made by the girls themselves.
These dresses, which were made un-
der the supervision of Miss Helen
Seaman, instructor of sewing, cost
the modest sum of three dollars

neighborhood were unfit for eating

power TO bring about an improve

Startling as was the withdrawal Of
Mr.. Bryan from the administration. 1t
WAS the effect OF his action upon the
immediate crisis between the United
States and Germany over which Wash
ington officials were chiefly concerned.
One sentence IN Mr. Bryan's letter
Of resignation to the president was
puZzling. This sentence read:
"Obedient to your sense of duty and
actuated by the highest motives. you
have prepared for transmission to the
German government note i'll which
cannot join without violating what
deem to be an obligation to my coun-
try and the issue involved Is of such
moment that to remain a member of the
cabinet would be as unfair to you as
1t would be to the cause which is near
est my heart-namely, the prevention
OF war"
In some quarters this sentence was
construed as a plain irtimation that
Secretary Bryan feared one OF the pos
sibilities of the note which President
Wilson had ordered forwarded to Ger
many Is war. The other construction
was that Secretary Bryan feared that
his aequiesence in the presidents re-
fusal to discuss the Lusitania facts
with the Berlin government would be
Il deathblow to the principles for which
Mr. Bryan has contended and which
h.. L., y
treaties with foreign governments
VIII Work For Peace.
While the correspondence between
the president and Mr.. Bryan is marked
with the utmost cordiality ON the pres
idents part in fact with manilesta-
tioDs of deep regret and sorrow, there
was one sentence in Secretary Bryan's
letter which indicates that he will not
hesitate to use all means at his com
mand to prevent a rupture with Ger
many. The Inference seems to be
that Mr.. Bryan would throw the weight
Of his personal power against such
contingency.
On the other hand President Wilson
makes it plain that he has accepted
Secretary Bryans resignation only be-
cause Mr. Bryan has insisted and that
he expects the cooperation of Mr.
Bryan in accomplishing not only this
governments present object with Ger
many. but the other policies of the
administration. These are the presl.
dents exact words:
We shall continue to work for the
same causes even when we do not
work in the same way"
The most serious phase of the Bryan
resignation so far as 1t affects the
German situation seems to be the pos
sibility of dividing the country in re-
gard to President Wilson's policy. Up
to this time the president has enjoye
practically tue unanimous support Of
the country, aud he has found great
encouragement and consola ton in this
fact

The grape industry is not the only
thing ruined by prohibition in Kansas,
In fact, prohibition has killed about
every industry in Kansas, except the
raising of wheat and corn, and alfalfa,
and fruit and live stock, and potatoes
and peas and cabbage and garden sass
and chickens and ducks and geese and
horses and mules and blooded cattle.
1t busted up quite all of our fourishing
saloons and beer gardens and paral-
yzed many of our most prominent
gamblers. 1t has absolutely killed the
bartenders' union. Where once the
thriving saloon sent the clamorous
odor of it's prosperity out upon the
sidewalks and clear across the street
we find nothing but shoe stores, dry
goods stores, meat markets, clothing
stores, grocery stores, and other sordid
activities of an unhappy people. Where
once you saw long strings Of men on
Saturday night, going joyfully into the
rooms where doors were closed secure
ly, where there was sawdust on the
floor and merry crowd at the ma
hogany bar, treating all around, and
man could get his salary check cashed
and spend it all there on his boon COM
panions and go enthusiastically home
and break up the furniture and give
his wife black eye; instead of all
these manifestations Of a prosperous
and thrifty citizenship, as in our saloon
days, we see men go quietly into the
butcher shops and grocery stores and
then go Juggling home great bundles of
supplies for their wives and children
beefsteak for supper, Sunday dinner,
etc. All, what a sad result Of the BAN
ishment Of saloons. Prohibition has
left little of Kansas, except her fields
and factories and schools and stores
and pens Of fat cattle and her sober
and happy and prosperous people!

VICTORY FOR AMERICAN
PRINCIPLES.

Secretary of State Lansing officially
following conference with
Count Won Bernstorff, that the German
government had decided to accept in
principle the American position on
warfare against merchant
vessels.
In compliance with the request Of
Secretary Lansing, the German ambas-
sador reduced to writing his converse
ton, and sent by special messenger
the following letter to the State De-
partment:
with reference to our conversation
Of this morning, | beg to inform you
that my instructions concerning our
answer to your last Lusitania note
contains the following passage:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and with
out safety of lives of noncombatants,
provided that liners do not try Ito
escape or offer resistance
Although / know that you do not
wish to discuss the Lusitania question
till the Arabic incident has been def.
nitely and satisfactorily settled, de.
sire to inform you of above because
this policy of my government was de.
cided on before the Arabic incident
occurred.
Il have no objection to your making
any use you may please of above
information.
After studying the communication
Secretary Lansing authorized this
statement:
'In view of the clearness of youl
statement of to-day, 1t seems needless
to make comment in regard to it, othel
than to say it appears to be recogni
ton of the fundamental principles fol
which we have commended"

plants free from the wilt or black root
disease. AS wilted plants mature their
cotton earlier than healthy plants
special care must be taken In the first
picking. Seed from plant that shows
any sign of wilt should not be saved.
8. The cotton seed should come from
prolific and well-shaped plants.
4. Seed should not be saved from
bolls that show any signs of rot. 1t il
not believed that it is possible to en-
tirely eliminate boil rot by seed selec-
ton, but it can be reduced.
The method for seed selection should
be about as follows: When the cotton
is ready for the first picking, a man
able to recognize the cotton wilt and
other diseases and who can be depend.
ed upon to pick the cotton from only
early prolific plants, should pick over
the field in advance of the rest OF the
pickers. The cotton that he picks
should be ginned separately and the
seed saved for planting.-C. w. Edger-
