make them more durable. The big

this is one reason why the tractor is

THE LAST LAUGH"
An article under the above caption
has been going the rounds of the
press. II assails William Alien
Whites story, Whats the Matter
With Kansas?" published some time
since in the Saturday Evening Post.
Mr. White" 1t said, boosted about
the big crops OF Kansas, the per cap
tia wealth OF Kansas, the number OF
automobiles in Kansas, and almost
succeeded in making everyone believe
that Kansas was wholly rich as well
as richly holy. But he overdid 1t.
And his home town, Emporia, is the
goat For years the College of EN-.
poria has been largely supported by
means of donations from wealthy
Fasteners, who imagined they were
assisting a poor little college on the
wind-swept prairies.' When these
rich patrons read Mr.. Whites clever
but misleading article they withdrew
their subscriptions. This year the
college must look to home for tine an
nual donation of 100000, which used
to come out of the East"
The National w. G. T. U. Bureau OF
Publicity forwarded the article to Mr..
White and in reply he says:
II have received, should say,
dozen or fifteen clippings from all
over the United States exactly like
the one you sent. The clippings was
sent out by the liquor interests
through the National Clipping bureau,
and there Is no truth whatever in the
statement. 1t Is pure fiction"
Mr.. White sends also the following
statement written for the public by
the president OF the college:
ITO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:

interests are circulating story that
the College of Emporia has lost dona
tons and subscriptions In the East,

Evening Post on the prohibition situa
ton in Kansas. written by William
Allen White. wish to say there lie
absolutely no foundation for this

 "When your trial treatment was received l was getting better on an- other treatment, so l deferred taking your medicine until an unusually se- were attack of la grippe came upon me.

HOW TO PACK POULTRY
Specialists Recommend Methods of Handling Poultry Under Adverse Weather Conditions.

Poultry packers are urged by the specialists of the department to give unusual attention to preparing and packing their birds for shipment, par ticularly if the mild weather, which has been widely prevalent this autumn continues. The poultry specialists say that the weather conditions in many sections have been very similar to those which prevailed in the autumn of 1913 and which as poultry shippers will remember, proved disastrous to all packers who did not dress, chill, and pack properly,
 The specialists, therefore, recom- mend the particular observance of the following methods of handling dressed poultry, which are essential to a per feet product at any time and are of vital importance whenever weather conditions are unfavorable.
 Methods Of Handling Dressed Poultry.
 l. Keep the holding batteries for your incoming stock clean, well aired and free from vermin, and see that the chickens have plenty of fresh wat CT and plenty to eat.
 2. Don't kill a chicken when the crop is full of feed. Give the chicken only water for 24 hours before it is killed. Food in the crop or in the in testines of 9 dressed chicken causes loss of flavor and hastens decay, which more than offsets any gain from extra weight.
 3. Good bleeding is absolutely es sential to a good appearance on the market and retards decay. Circular 61, Bureau of Chemistry, Department of Agriculture explains the best meth ods of bleeding and loosening the fea- ther muscles for dry picking.
 1. Hang the chicken by both feet while picking. Hanging by one leg spells the shape of the bird. Picking on the lap gets the skin dirty and hastens decay.
 5. Dry pick if possible. Scalding is particularly undesirable because it hastens decay.
 Chill every dressed bird until the body temperature is below 35 degrees F. Never pack or ship an imperfect ly chilled bird. More decay is due to imperfect chilling than to any other ok, if possible. Chickens cooled in water lose flavor, decay sooner, will not cold-store as satisfactorily as dry chilled, and are in every way more undesirable on the market. Refri- gerator cars will carry well-chilled goods in good condition, but they can not chill warm goods to a sufficiently low temperature.
 '. Pack in boxes or small kegs whenever possible. A large barrel makes an undesirable package, because where poultry is packed in large mass es the weight of the upper layers crushes the birds at the bolton.
 8. Line all packages with parch- ment paper and cover the top of the poultry before the lid is put on.
 9. Wrap every head in suitable paper so that blood from one bird will not mar the appearance of an- other.
 10. Use only good refrigerator cars and see that they are in good order. Ice and salt the car 24 hours before loading. The car, at the end of 24 hours, should show tempera- ture below 40 degrees F. at a point of

 General Suggestions.
 Never handle chickens roughly, either before or after killing. Rough handling causes bruises, broken bones, scared skins, and soft places in the flesh. Undue haste on the part of the killers and pickers results in lowered keeping quality and poor appearance of the product.
 Piecework, which leads to quantity rather than quality, makes for lower prices on the market. Those who pay by the piece should remember that they sell by the quality of the piece.
 These directions will apply with equal force to turkeys intended for the holiday market,

DAINTY MARGUERITE CLARK
IN NEW SCREEN TRIUMPH

The dainty, magnetic little star, Mar
guerite Clark, surpasses all her form
er screen successes in The Pretty

play by Frances Hodgson Burnett, and

This fye-part screen drama is the lat,

gram, and the current feature attrac-
ton at the Alcazar Theatre Thurs

The title role of this subject has
been so constructed as to exhibit to
tie fullest extent Miss Clarks many
capabilities. 1t is that of a peasant
girl, full of life and buoyance, instinct
with naughty Spanish pride and throb-
bling with the power of love, who comes
fol the first time to live amid the
splendors and delights of Madrid. She
has see2 her mothers wifely devotion
scorned byea cruel husband, and she
has resolved that her heart shall never
own lord. But there is Sebastiano,
the matador, hero of the arena, whom
all the women of Madrid love with an
~ dor unknown to Pepita. She wit
hesses the sad fate of one, Sarita who
dies because of her hopeless alteration
ST him, ard Pepita's fear of love, al
rtady strong, is intensified her heart
| But Sebastiano, who has never before
really loved, and who has been all

in love with her, Then begins the
struggle. Pepita loves him In return.

re lies between life and eternity that
Pcpita is conquered, and with her dec
laration of love calls him back to life,
1t is not necessary to say that Miss
Clark can portray this complex and be
Witching web of emotion as no one else
on the screen. She is admirable in her
scenes with Sarita, dying for urreouit-
ed love for Sebastiano, and full Of
tenderest and awe-struck horror at the
sight of the fatal result of Sarita's love
She is even more admirable when she
hrst confronts the matador, and with
shoulders thrown back and head aloft

These are the moments of her highest
art, moments that will always linger
