indianapolis, Jan. Following the
announcement that Indianapolis
would be taken up next by the federal
grand jury in it's investigation of al
legged political corruption in Indiana,
there was speculation today whether

some termed the ''Taggart-C raw-

The Former Best For Most Sections o.
Kansas.
"In all Of Kansas except the eastern
one-fourth hard wheat should be pre-
ferred to soft wheat" says L. E. Call.
professor of agronomy in the Kansas
State Agricultural college. Because Of
the favorable yields made by the soft
wheat this year many farmers in DIFF
ferent parts Of the state have written
to the college concerning the advisable
ity Of planting soft wheat in place Of
hard wheat this year.
THE reason that the soft wheat turn

Call, us because Of the rainy weather
encountered. Soft wheat has a strong

as does hard wheat. Upon the bottom

makes a much better -four than does
the soft wheat. and the reputation Of
the state as producer Of wheat rests
upon the hard wheat crop. II soft
wheat is grown 1t is apt to become
mixed with the hard wheat at the ele-
vators. so that the prices at the termi-
nal will be reduced and both the soft
wheat and the hard wheat farmers will
lose money.
Although soft wheat has an advan-
tage in a wet season. it has many dis
advantages. During the past eight
years in the experiments on the college
farm practically all Of the varieties Of
the soft wheat have winter killed each
year. while but in one year did the

A BABY SAVED is
A CITIZEN GAINED

We hear much in these progressive
days about the conservation of our
national resources. Our minerals. our
forests and water power have long
been the subjects of grave consider.
alton, but only lately have we awxk-
ened to the truth that a nations chiee
resource is her loyal, vigorous citt
zens.
That a proper conservation of citA
zens must begin with the infant b
evident to anyone who will read tho
statistics of infant mortality in our
country. Babies are born to live, yoe
the vital statistician of the censuo
bureau estimates that 100000 babies
die annually in the United States uu-
der the age of one year.
We cheerfully give our means to
improve our grains, our fruits, our
domestic animals, yet we give little
heed to the improvements of our b.
bies.
Aside from the sorrow and suffer-
ing brought into the world by the
loss of so many children, the eco.
nomic loss entailed by the removal q
100000 citizens each year is worthy
Of consideration.
The Theodore Home, in King coun-
ty, near Seattle, was founded by tho
Volunteers Of America to aid in this
work Of child conservation in the nat
ural way by giving needy mothers .
home where they are enabled to prop
erly care for their babies during the
trying first year or longer if neces-
sary. The object of our work is to
avoid the separation of the child from
the mother. We take care of the
children during the day while the
mother is employed, and she comes
home at night to room she can cali
her own and the privilege of putting
her own baby to bed.
The Home encourages maternal
nursing-the great requisite for .
strong, healthy citizen. The found.
ers of the Home, believing that tho
mother is the greatest benefactor OF
the nation, and that she is helpless
alone, take this means of appealing
to the generous people of the state
for aid in this work.
The Home is neither sectarian nor
sectional, mothers of all creeds and
from all parts TO the state are cared
for and receive all the benefits of the
Home.
Donations of money are most valu-
able to the Home, but provisions such
as hams, fowls, fruits, vegetables and
clothing will be gladly and thank
fully received. We feel sure that our
patrons and benefactors will be happy
in the knowledge that anything they
donate will help some little one in
fair start on the way to a better
citizenship, a nobler manhood or wo.

Second.-A good storage place is es-

would increase the returns from the
