beginning to be recognized. For this
reason the demand for sweet clover
seed has been in excess of the supply.
During the spring sweet clover seed
sold for S12 per bushel. The price
is only little below that figure now.
The demand will be greater when the
season for planting comes.
Sweet clover produces from four to
ten bushels of seed per acre. There
are approximately four acres in a city
square. One ordinary city lot is APP
proximately one-eighth of an acre. If
there is good stand" of the clover
on the lot there should be more than
a bushel of the seed. Add the value
of the hay to that of the seed and
one sees the possibility of persons
finding 1t profitable to NOW Topeka's
vacant lots.
Finney county farmers are finding
the cultivation of sweet clover profit
able. They are getting two crops of
hay and one crop of seed each year.
The seed yield there is from bush
els to 10 bushels per acre, and the tom
mage of hay per acre Is about the
same as that of alfalfa and commands
almost the same price in the market.
When sweet clover, especially the yell
low variety, is cut early and baled, it
is difficult to distinguish it from baled
alfalfa and sweet clover is being sold
in the markets as alfalfa. The Fin
ney county farmers have found it I'M
necessary to re-seed their sweet Glow
er fields. BY letting the last crop ma
ture enough of the seed skaters to
replant the field, with or 10 BUSH
els of seed per acre remaining to be
threShed and sold.

BEAUTY CHORUS
RIGHT HERE, Sir!
Little Old Topeka Can Furnish
Prettiest Girls Alive.
Kodak Films Reveal Shocking
Sunday Excursions.
TAKEN IN MANY POSES
Annette KelIerman Put to
Shame by Photos.
Developing Man Sees Uncen-
sOred Pictures Daily.

Kansas has a rigid censorship Of the
movies and is proud. But did you
ever see the Monday morning offering
of the Topeka camera bugs? OOooh,
My! 1t is to blush.
Once man wrote a plaintive little
melody about the thrills of the ice
man. That was before the men who
develop the Sunday offering of kodak
rolls came into their own That was
before Topeka grace and beauty was
snapped in stunning pose and the snap
shot stories of Sunday excursions to
the country hidden from inquiring eyes
and censors and inspectors. Those
pictures are taken to local developers
each Monday morning-thousands of
views covering hundreds of subjects
and they tell stories that never find
their way to the news columns of the
daily press and are unknown to the
welfare workers ana the social sur
veyors.
Just suppose, though, that the men
who develop these pictures would talk.
Just suppose. Goodness raciouS.
There would be whole weeks of shock
ing scandal in Topeka's polite society.
Those men who develop the pictures
could offer testimony that would stand
the town on its ear and keep local goS-
sips supplied with conversation
through the entire heated season.
Pretty, So Why Not?
Hundreds of Topeka girls are pretty
beautiful in fact. Some of these
same ATTRACTIVE women KNOW II. MAI
urally, not a few of them are proud of
it. Why shouldn't they be? In the
age when Photographic art is making
it's grandeSt showing, why shouldn't
they take advantage of the opportun-
ity to appear in their most striking
pose? Striking is a good word. Be
sides-it is thrilling and exciting
real exciting-real devilish, in fact.

City's NOxiOus Weed Problem in
Way of Solution.
Meek and LOwly Sweet Glover
Does the Business.
DRIVES OTHER PLANTS OUT
It Saves Expenses and Pays a
Nice Profit.
Almost as Valuable a Crop as
Is Alfalfa.

The city Of Topeka has just adopt
ed city ordinance the object of which
is to keep noxious weeks from grow
ing on vacant city lots. When prop
erty owners fail to cut the weeds, the
city will do the work and the expense
will be certified to the county clerk
and assessed as taxes against the
property. Keeping vacant lots free of
weeds is an annoyance to both the
city officials and to property owners.
Relief from an unexpected source is
promised. One variety of the weeds"
may prove to be a blessing in dis
guise, and there is a possibility that
what has been an expense may be-
come a source of revenue: The city
bidding against one another and pay
ing for the opportunity to cut the
weeds"
Sweet clover, both the yellow and
the white varieties, is the weed"
which promises to do the trick.
Sweet clover was an unlimited guest
when it came to Topeka. Being un-
invited, it naturally was looked upon
with suspicion. Sweet clover keeps
vate premises which are used and car
ed for. 1t thrives only in neglected
places. Well kept lawns are never
invaded by it. Neither does it thrive
on land which is pastured. But a va
cant city lot offers ideal conditions for
the plant, and it has spread over the
entire city. There is scarcely a va
unmowed more than one year, that
is not now covered with sweet Glove.

weeds are choked out.
Demand Exceeds Supply.

mamma would not approve of them.
Do you really mean to say that there
are no longer any real cowboys in the
west and that the movie ones are
simply actors from the Great White
Way made up to look like cattle per-
sons? 1 thought Jess Willard was a
real cowboy? Does he ride bucking
bronchos down this great wide street?
Well" she added with a little sigh of
regret as she nestled close to an occu-
pant of the car, Il guess that there is
no longer any romance left for us poor
girls. Think how delightful it would
be to elope with a real cowboy. Are
you COWBOY"
Truth Was Painful.
This question, fired point-blank at a
Topeka man, caused him considera BILE
embarrassment and it was with re-
greet that he answered in the negative.
There were tears in his voice when he
had to speak thus truthfully and he
could scarcely keep back a sob as he
caught a glimpse of the court house.
Miss Boltz then continued:
The western men are different
from our eastern men. They are so
robust and healthy looking and so
bold. 1 wouldn't mind bit living in
the west" she added, IF can find
somebody to like me-
The newspaper man edged up to-
ward a beautiful girl standing off to
one side BY her badge he discovered
New Haven, selected by William How
ard Taft and Ella Wheeler Wilcox as
Conneticut's prettiest girl. There are
those who warmly criticize Mr.. Tafts
political stand, but he is an excellent
judge of pretty girls. Indeed, the re-
porter thought as he glanced at her.
if there are any prettier girls than
this one, they are not in captivity.
Mr.. Taft is such a dear and my
father voted for Roosevelt, too" said
Miss Beardsley with a cute little lisp.
"Of course L am not the prettiest girl
in Connecticut, but it was just my
luck. l have always been lucky be-
cause the Lord didn't give me any
brains and l had to have something
to carry me across. If had any
brains I'd be a writer like Ella Wheel
er Wilcox and would be voting to
send some other girl on the trip. But
1 guess it is better to be just good than
to be either pretty or clever. 1 am
only Is and 1 have never had what is
vulgarly called a fellow because L
guess nobody cares for me- and she
laugher roguishly. The State Journal
reporter did not believe that.
The beauties are now in California.
In that state today is the dashing
brunette from Maryland with spark
ling black eyes and olive-tinted
cheeks, the stately college girl with a
mouth like Cupid's bow and milk
corn belt, with health radiating from
her clear sky-blue eyes, plump,
charming little girl from the pineries
of Michigan, and probably the best of

peka raved about her. But Topeka
hadn't seen her own daughter in
bathing suits. She hadn't seen the
things the camera saw. So Topeka
blindly accepted Annette Kellerman.
But the picture developers, who know
art when they see it, waited patiently
for the Monday morning crop of local
films.
Topekans have seen the Gertrude
Hoffman poses. They have viewed
Kitty Gordon's back two feet below
the neck line. They have seen the
art exhibits and been shocked by the
naughty, naughty music show girls
never opened their dressers and treas
ure boxes to the world. No, stree.
Never.
Why Men Leave Home.
In those hiding places are the pic
lures that solve the problem of why
men leave home. Only the home
grown beauties who posed, the men
who snapped the views and the close
mouthed young men who developed
the views know the secrets
Every Sunday when the sun shines,
several hundred young men and young
women go for a day in the woods.
They go in automobiles and never for
get the faithful camera. The stories
of these outings are told in the views
developed in the drug stores, supply
shops and photo galleries.
Usually the men bring the picture
rolls to be developed. Hundreds of
them are nice, formal views that at
tract attention in any well established
library. From that point they vary
vary straight down.
What a Sensation.
Goodness.
What sensation some of these pic

| lures might make if dumped right in
the middle of a rousing breach of
promise suit from staid, stiff backed,
| formal old society row.
What burning tears of repentance
would flow. What shock proud
| mothers would receive if they only
saw those pictures of dear daughter
! jusc she was when the camera
winked!
S-s-s-h! Listen!
, Honestly, this is a real secret. That's
right, get up close. The picture man
course he wouldn't. The first rule in
his lodge is secrecy-cross the heart
and hope to turn stone-and besides
he is in the picture developing bust
irons for anything. Honest, you won't
tell now, will you?
The picture was confidential. 1t
was Monday morning and SO or 60
rolls of films had just been developed.
Whew.
The scandaIous things that must
have happened during the hour of
Sunday morning services. The picture
1t was an 8 karat beauty in-oh well.
it is pretty hard to tell just by glanc-
ing at a film the sort of clothes a
subject wears. But there was a smile
artistic lines-as far as lines of rath-
er uncertain film go-lines that make
poets rave and drive sculptors to dis
traction.
There she stood. Shapely ankles
and arms and-and-
Right Into His Eyes.
The picture man f1shed around in
the water some more. Some one must
have missed Sundays ball game to
snap that one. A born American
beauty had entwined a pair of arms
around a mere mans neck. She was
just slipping him the most tender and
1t L.
looking right into the beautiful sun
light when some one pulled the trig
ger.
There were more of them. Many
more. Yes indeed.
But the picture man preferred only
to tell about them. Surely the Kan
sas legislature in its search for a new
subject of reform had overlooked the
kodak artist.
"Oh. we get some peaches here"
said the enthusiastic chap who devel-
oped the pictures. Real home girls
in bathing suits, sometimes. And
then" this time the picture man
himself sqnandered a blush-"some-
times they're not in bathing suits.
Afraid of the Law.
Those altogether pictures cause
us the most trouble he said. There
is a mighty strict federal law on the
subject and several times we have de-
stroyed films which were not exactly
within the intent of the law"
Would the picture man give some
names that the newspaper man might
chase a few festive pictures? Would
he? Certainly. he would not. The
picture man was indignant. He would
do nothing of the sort.
But say said the picture man, cit
wasn't necessary for those beauty ex-
perts to go east to look for real class.
We have it right here in Topeka. Bet
your life. / know"
Then the picture man smiled and
winked.

Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, March 26.-Rushes to
sell gave a decided downward swing
today to the wheat market here. In
definite rumors that an early ending
of the war might be looked for ap-
peared to have most to do with the
prevailing bearish sentiment. Sup
port was so poor that little attention
was given to the steadiness of quota
lions at Liverpool. After opening un-
changed to &c lower prices dropped
to as much as l &c under last night
before a reaction set in.
Corn tumbled with wheat. Longs
unloaded and there was considerable
short selling. The opening. which
varied from 1s0M 10 re down. was
followed by a material further set
back.
Weakness was fully as pronounced
in oats as in other grain. On the
break, however, representatives of
seaboard houses took to the buying
side.
Demand for lard strengthened the
provision list as a whole. At first
though prices seemed to be tending
downward with hogs and grain.
