TONS OF AUTO TAGS.
License Department Is Working %
Clerks and Stenographers.

More than a ton of steel tags are
being mailed every day to Kansas
autotomobile owners by Curtis Myers,
in charge of the automobile depart
ment in the secretary of states office.
Two big mail wagons are commission
ed each night to haul the $500 tags
addressed and prepared for shipment
by the state department and an extra
force of mail clerks IS required to
handle the states business.
In the automobile department at
the state house, p clerks and steno-
graphers are required to handle the
daily business during the rush season.
1t will be two months, perhaps, be-
fore the state department will be able
to overcome the daily demand for Ii
cense tags.
Orders for new license tags have
been filled only since July 1. In that
time the work of the department has
been organized and $4,000 tags have
been mailed to motor car owners and
dealers. A total of $500 tags will
have been mailed to owners and 400
to dealers when the office closes this
evening.
To handle this work the depart
ment today made its second $1,000
stamp purchase since the first of the
month. About $6,00S worth of stamps
will be required to mail the tags to au-
tom z owners. In addition to mail
ing tags, the state sends a license
to es,Ln of 10000 motor car owners
That means an extra postage expense
of $1,400.

UP 500 PER CENT
Park Superintendent Asks for
Big Appropriation.
Estimates Department Needs
at $1O5,4O5.

Fifteen thousand dollars for a zoo
building in Gage park, is what E. F.
A. Reinisch, city superintendent of
parks, includes in his estimate of
things needed in his department, the
information being for the use of his
chief, w. L. Porter, city commissioner
of parks, in preparing an estimate. All
told Reinisch thinks $105,405 is need
ed for Topeka's parks next year. The
budget for the park department last
year was only $4,000.
Possibly Reinisch. in asking for such
large increase, is going on the be-
lief that it is we'll to ask for a-plenty
in anticipation of having many items
cut out when the budget ordinance is
passed by the city commissioner.
But to ask for better quarters for
the animals in Gage park will prob
ably meet with popular approval, and
may even prevent the city from hav-
ing to answer to charges of cruelty to
animals. KilmaurS King of the Fos-
ter Humane society, has for some time
been considering taking action against
the city in behalf of the animals i'm
prisOned there.
Instead of being valuable lessons

mails at Gage park for the most part
are merely object lessons of mans in

William E. Connelley, secretary of

has Just received some of the original

WOMAN NOT BLAMELESS
Government Will Prosecute Both
Parties in White Slave Case.

Whether or not Fred Robertson,
United States district attorney, is sue
ceSSful in his prosecution of Mrs. ElVa
Knowles, bound over at Kansas City
recently, by a special commissioner on
a charge of conspiring to violate the
white slave law, is a question which
will have much bearing on the prose-
cution of women under the Mann act
in Kansas. Mrs. Knowles is the first
woman in Kansas to be held for the
charge.
The Knowles woman was arrested
with her husband at Wichita Knowles
is being prosecuted under the Mann
act The woman faces a charge of
conSpiring to violate the law.
1T seems that the popular idea
throughout the country is that the
Mann act leaves a loophole which
makes it impossible to prosecute wom-
en- and gives them an advantage over
men. In this case the woman has ad-
mitted that she was not forced into
the life" said Robertson today in sum-
ming up the case
Then again if we are successful it
will have much bearing on the ques-
ton of women who blackmail men.
There is no little of this in Kansas.
However, this business will not be so
common, if we are successful in max

will attempt to show in the Knowles

Whisky Out of Hospitals.
Although forty years ago the Dill

largest items on the yearly budget or
the leading hospitals of the world, the

H kellogg, of Battle Creek, Mich:
Whereas alcohol was formerly relied
upon as the mainstay in the treatment
of typhoid fever, pneumonia, anc
other grave disorders, the attitude or
the leaders of the medical profession
in this regard was now precisely the
reverse of what it was generation

Labor Not to Suffer by Abolition
of Booze Traffic.
ECONOMIST RAPS FAKE ISSUE
Charles StelzIe Says to Close
Saloons VIII Hurt None.
Money Now Paid for Drink VIII
Buy Food and Clothes.

Atlantic City, y. J.. July 9.-"Will
the Workingman Lose His Job and His
Personal Liberty If the Saloons Are
Closed ?'' was the subject discussed by
Charles Stelzle, sociologist and author,
of New York, before the convention OF
the Anti-Saloon League of America
today.
.',The workingman fears being out
of work more than he does going to
hell he said. He knows that IL
means to walk the streets looking for
a job. The liquor interests have cap
italized upon this fear, and by pre-
Senting a staggering array of figures
which seem to prove that a calanllty
will follow the abolition OF the nquor
traffic they have persuaded large
numbers of working men who never
enter a saloon to vote for its reten-
ton.
But the argument that the work
ingman will lose his job if the lquor
traffic is abolished is based upon the
absurd proposition that if the liquor
dealer fails to get the money now
spent for beer and whisky nobody else
will get it.
TT is assumed that the farmer who
sells his grain and grapes, his APP
pies and cherries to the liquor inter
ests will be compelled to destroy
them: when the fact is that figures
furnished by the United states gov
eminent clearly indicate that the abll-
itv of the American farmer to raise
enough gram 10 adequately supply
this country is gradually decreasing.
Neither will the railroad man sur
fer. Only about per cent OF ms
freight business is furnished by the
liquor industry. He will get as much
business. and as much money for the
transfer of a given amount of grain,
whether that grain is shipped TO a
brewer or bakery As for the trans
portation of the furnished product as
we'll as the raw materials which the
liuuor industry now furnishes, there
is no doubt that other industries will
benefit from the transfer of trade
from liquor to some other commodity

Extension Department of
A. & M. College.

The Extension Department Of
the various state agricultural
colleges, comparatively new in its
inception, came as popular demand
from the people that these in
stitutions render direct service
to the people at large, giving
every farmer and householder an
avenue for information and edu-
cation. So corps Of we'll trained
men and women, under the direct
local supervision Of this college, as
limited funds would allow, has
been provided by the College for
this actice field of work. This
work is being appreciated more and
more by the people as they under
stand it's aim and usefulness, and
at present the demand is greater
than can be supplied.
This is q field force of teachers
and practical demonstrators whose
whole time and energy belong to
the people. Every industrial de-
partment or branch at the College
lis to have its extension workers,
thus carrying college influence out
into the hedges and by ways.
Our own experiment stations
and those Of other states and
nations together with Investigators
and scientists, have much actual
definite and practical information
along all lines Of husbandry,. not
theories but facts. Those who do
not receive and apply such informa-
ton will not be able long to compete
successfully with those who do.
The great majority Of Mississippi
farmers are becoming keenly alive
to this fact. The Extension De-
partment is their college and their
servant.
No bill passed by the congress
just expired will have more far
reaching effect than the Lever Ex-
tension Bill, which is to provide
eash state with q part of the funds
for this internal developement
work. No large sum Is immediate
'ly available but it increases IN
amolnt from year to year, provid-
ed state and county give q like
sum. The final aim is to have q
practical and trained man and
woman in every county to carry to
every home the product Of modern
progressive thought and develop
ment. These local county demon
strators will be the connecting link
with various other sources of in
formation and with the general
field corps Of extension workers.
More detailed information from
time to time will be given in regard
to this Extension Department Of
the college so that people can avail
themselves of any service it may
be in q position to give them. At
present the force is small and cam
not meet the demands for communi-
ty and special service, but will do its
best if you will address any in
quiries to the Director Of Extension
Department, Agricultural College,
