TO REINSTATE CHIEF.
Strike May Follow Return of Former
Wichita Police Head.

Wichita, Kan, July 29.-New de-
velopments at the city hall indicate
that former Police Chief Stewart is
about to be reinstated. Mayor Bent
ley has nothing to say about the mat
ter but Stewart seems sure that he
will regain the position. Chief Hay is
still on the job and the police depart
ment is divided into three sections.
One set IS for the mayor. Another is
in favor of peace either way and does
not take sides in the matter. The
third faction is for Chief Hay and it is
probable if he is forced to resign that
about ten policemen will give up their
stars at the same time.
When Jack Hay was appointed it
was announced that the police force
would be reorganiZed. Nine patrol
men were dismissed, apparently in
opposition to the wishes of the may
or. According to the Beacon there
is talk of deals that were made dur
ing the campaign that were disturbed
by Chief Days reorganization.

Don't Wash Your
Hair With Soap

When you wash your hair, don't use
soa. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which is
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats soap or anything else
all to pieces. You can get this at any
drug store, and a few ounces will last
the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft fresh looking, bright, fluffy
wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff.-Adv.

KILL INSECTS IN MILLS.
Methods Described by Professor Fftz
of Agricultural College.

Manhattan, Kan, July 29.-Now is
a good time to destroy insects in mills
and other places where grain products
are stored. Under the direction of L.
A. F'itz. professor of milling industry
in the Kansas State Agricultural col
lege, the mill of the institution is be
ing treated with heat, which is a most
effective means of destroying insects.
y temperature of 12O degrees con-
tinuing for eight hours is sufficient.
In order to raise the temperature to
that point in obscure creVices, how
ever. it is sometimes necessary to get
a heat of 135 degrees in the mill at
large. If a mill can be heated to 10
degrees in winter the same equipment
will make possible the needed tenn
perature in summer.
In cases where heat cannot be used,
fumigation with hydrocyanic acid gas
is a possibility. though this is eXpen-
sive and somewhat dangerous to the
operator.
On the farm, grain and grain pro-

HUNT FOR BOUNDARY.
Kansas Historical Society After South
eastern Corner Mound.

Efforts are being made by William
E. Connelley, secretary of the Kansas
State Historical Society. to obtain some
of the rocks which recently formed
the mound which marked the south
eastern corner of Kansas.
The mound, constructed at the time
of the Missouri Compromise, marked
the boundary between the territory
of the Osages and the CherokeeS. Lat
er it marked the southeast corner of
Kansas and the northeastern corner
of the Indian Territory and since has
been observed as the boundary marker
between Kansas, Missouri and Okla
homa.
When the United States surveyors
were sent into the territory in 1861,
after Kansas had been admitted to
the union, they were directed to make
the permanent boundary of the state
lat a point where the thirty-seventh

Instead, however, the story goes,
the surveyor began with the rock
mound, which the Indians told him
was the boundary line, and as the re-

the former home of an exclusive club
of Germans. The club was closed by
an mbitiouS county attorney.
The building was deserted until a
business man took it over as ware

trucks and busy hustle about the place
instead of merriment from behind
drawn blinds or sometimes brilliantly
lighted windows. The stock stored in
the building by the EmahiZer-Spiel-

style and workmanship. 1t will hold

OIL NEAR LAWRENCE?
Company Being Organized to Prospect
Kaw Valley There.

Lawrence. Kan, July 29.-The con-
fidence of men experienced in the oil
business that there is a supply to be
tapped in the neighborhood of Law
renee is shown by negotiations which
have been in progress to get leases on
the land lying east of Lawrence pc
tween the Kaw and Wakarusa rivers
for the purpose of drilling test wells
ana developing any supply that may be
found. An experienced oil man from
Oklahoma has been working among
the farmers east of town for number
of weeks and has secured leases on
nearly all the land lying between the
two rivers.
1t is understood that the plan is
to organize a local company for the
purpose of going after the oil which IS
believed to underlie this land.
