TWO GOOD ROADS DAYS
Governor Capper Will Make An
nouncement When He Returns.

When Governor Capper returns
from the expositions he is expected
to designate two days for the working
of the roads in all of Kansas. The
dates probably will be late in August
or in the first part of September. The
information was given out by Charles
Sessions, the governors private secre-
tary.
the unusual amount of rain will reach
large figures, probably running into
millions. Floods in the Kaw valley
DAMAGED the roads in that district
alone to the extent of 100000.
The naming of two days when every
ablebodied farmer in the state is eX-
pected to work on the roads seems
30 be a good thing for the state. The
length of time ought to be sufficient if
the people will take an interest in the

At The THEATERS.
Hip Review.

Three Weeks was well received
at the Hip theater last night. Elinor
Glynn's play was very creditably pre-
scented by the Besse Dainty Players.
Miss Dainty herself was not in the
cast, but her place as leading woman
was commercially filled by Miss Grace
Hunter. who effectively played the
part of Sardalia's queen.
The large audience at the Hip last
night did not appear visibly shock ed
at Three Weeks" despite the fact
that it was considered a trifle toe
strong" by the board of movie CEN
sorship. The women in the house
held their breath at the actions of the
king. That part called for a lot of
unfettered meanness and unethical
ambition and was played fairly well by
Jack Dalroy.
Lawrence Arnsman was especially
good in his Interpretation of Paul YER
dayne. He played opposite Miss
Hunter and lent an air of individual
fty to the character. In quiet way
Macdonald, the servant, won the
respect of his audience. Other parts
well taken included Lyman White, as
Captain Grisby; Jack Sanderson, as
Sir Charles Verdayne; Joseph Hears
ley, as Vasili; Barry Corners as the
French waiter: Nat Burns. as Petri-
vich; Ida Courtney, as Lady Henrietta
Verdayne, and Marie OdeI, as Anna

Some crack infantrymen of the Thir-
teenth Spanish regiment and queen
presenting Academy of Infantry
with standard she made herself.
Now Spain is busy with many sorts
of plans for war. Many people think
she is preparing to join with the side
that will profit her the most toward
the close of hostilities; some say she
has an eye on Portugal and Gibraltar.
Spanish leaders refute insinuations
of selfish designs and declare that
the only object is preparedness, just
the same sort of preparedness that is
being urged in the United States.
They say Spain merely wants to be
ready for eventualities.
But certain it is that drilling goes
on everywhere and patriotic demon
strations are the order of the day.
At the annual ceremonies OF the
Academy of Infantry, just held at
Toledo, Queen Victoria presented the
academy with a new standard, the
design of which she had worked her
self, and at the same time delivered
patriotic address.

When You Wash Your
Hair Don't Use Soap

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious. it dries the scalp ana
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 soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get this
