SOCKS PULLED UP!
Farmer Is Wear
ing Carriers Nowadays.
AID Man Tells Publicity Dele
gates to Get Wise.

Chicago, June 23.-Farmers are diff
ferent than they were twenty years
ago. They are wearing garters now,
E. T. Meredith of Des Moines,, Ia,
publisher of a farm journal, told dele
gates attending the convention of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World today.
Some of you advertisers act as if
you did not think the farmers wore
coats or Shoes Mr.. Meredith said.
why, do you know that fifty per cent
of the farmers wear garters? It's the
truth. 1t has been proven by inves-
tigation. You men have not realized
what the farmer can buy, that he pays
from SIS to $45 for a suit of clothes.
and that he purchases motor cars
ranging in price from $500 to $4,000.
1.-THE advertising agencies should
study the rural towns, should know
the farmer of today. You're not pre-
pared. You think the farmers nova
days are the same as twenty years

CaleXico, Cal, June 23.-One child
badly hurt by falling debris was the
only injury to human life in this city
during last nights earthquake, SO far
as is known today
The widest rumorS are in c1rcula-
ton. One story was that twelve loot
ers had been shot down at MeXicaH
Mexico, and another was that fifty
persons had been killed in a riot there
following the earthquake. No con-
frmation has been received, however.
The loss of life, if any, probably is
ley but it is impossible to get vertical
ton of any loss of life from this sec
ton.
The earthquake at Ell Centre, Cali
fornia, referred to in the press dis
patches given above, is of especial con-
Germ and interest to Topeka people
because a number of former Topekans
are located at that place. Among
them are:
Galen Nichols, formerly county at
torney of Shawnee county, who is now
county attorney of Imperial county,
California, of which El Centre is the
county seat. Mr.. Nichols has resided
there for several years.
Judge E. r. Simon, recently county
attorney here, went to Ell Centric last
November and is now assistant county

Board of Health StatiStician
Will Start a Crusade.
Will Put Man on Trail of DeIin-
quent Physicians.
BIRTHS ARE NOT REPORTED
Not More Than SIS Per Cent Are
Turned In.
At Least $500 New Arrivals Are
Overlooked Yearly.

The vital statistics department in
tends to camp on the trail of the doc
tors who fail to certify birth and death
records to the state board of health
This summer a special inspector will
be placed in the field and his chief
mission will be that of sorrow maker
for the physician who has failed to
observe provisions of the vital sta
tistics act.
At this time Kansas is getting a
very fair record of many things, but
births are not one of them, according
to ]. V. d. Deacon, statistician for the
board of health. Under the state law,
a physician who does not promptly
and properly report births and deaths
is subject to a heavy fine. The re-
ports are made to the local county,
district or city clerk and at the end
of each month, the report finds its
way to Topeka and the vital statistics
department. Occasionally, when
physician is busy, he fails to make
reports. and the official count of new
babies and of deaths is not so thor
ough as it should be.
81 believe we get a record of vir-
tually all deaths in the state,' said
Deacon. but the birth record is bad
ly in need of improvement. Honestly,
/ doubt if we get a record of more
than 80 to So per cent of the births in
the state. But now we are going aft
err these reports in the proper manner.
The department will place an inspect
or in the field this summer and he
will be permanently employed to look
after cases of physicians who forget
the provisions of the state law"
Assuming that Deacon's estimate on
births is true, the failure of physi-
clans to report means failure to ac-
count for some $500 babies born each
year. 1t is to enforce the provisions
of the law and secure a perfect vital
statistics record that the state will en-
pIoy a baby and funeral "spotter."
In a number of instances the state
department has occasioned the arrest
of physicians who failed or wantonly
refused to make reports. AS a result
of this crusade the record has been
improved, tut Deacon is yet Of the
opinion that several thousand babies
are born each year for which no credit
is given in the reu0rtS

BRIDGE LOSS HEAVY.
Flood Damage i'm Kansas Estimated
at $1,000 900.

Bridge losses in Kansas counties, as
reported to the governors office, have
exceeded a million dollars Several
counties have urged the calling of
special session of the legislature to
provide funds to meet flood losses.
Governor Capper, however. has stated
that no special session will be called.
In many districts, streams have re-
Gently cut new channels and ruined
thousands of acres of valuable farm
land. No effort has been made as yet
to definitely calculate the loss to crops
and land. In counties where the
heavy bridge losses have been report
ed. special pond elections proba bly,
will be called to provide money for
rebuilding. Several counties are al
ready near the maximum appropria-
ton for bridge purposes and the only
method of increasing the levy is
through a special bond election.
Estimates given in reports received
by the governors office show county
bridge losses as follows: Cloud, $780,
900; Republic, 100000; Clay. $3.50
900: Geary, $125,OOO; Riley. $4,000;

and concentrated attacks on the part
of the Teutonic allies. Their success
will have l. far reaching political ef-
feet, as the driving out of the Rus-
slams from Galicia is counted upon In
Berlin to help maintain the status quo
in the Balkans.
The Door to Galicia-
The capture of Lemberg was one
OF the earliest important successes OF
the Russians. Following it they
pushed onward rapidly through Ga
licia. The high water mark of the
invasion found almost all the prov
ince in their hands. They approached
within striking distance of CracoW, at
the western end of the province close
to the German frontier; stormed the
heights and passes of the Carpath1an
mountains, which separate Gal1c1a
from Hungary; and to the east swept
down through the crownland of Buko-
wilma to the Rumanian frontier.
All this has been changed by the
steady succession of AuStro-German
victories of the last few weeks. The
change began with the launching of
the great drive from Cracow eastward.
Great numbers of German troops were
sent in to assist the AuStrianS, as well
as a vast amount of field artillery.
The use of artillery by the .Teutonic
allies has been described by CORE
spondents as on a scale never before
undertaken. Its effectiveness was
relatively increased by the shortage of
shells on the part of the Russians,
which is believed to have contributed
largely to the weakening of their re-
sistance.
From PrzemysI to Lemberg.
The Austro-German armies pushed
forward westward through Galicia, re-
captured Przemysl June 8, and then,
without pause, struck at Lemberg
from the south and west. AT no point
were Russians able to Withstand the
terrific bomba-dment directed against
their positions, and even the line of
defenses near Grodek. sixteen miles
west of Lemberg, which is of great
able.
With Lemberg now in her hands,
Austria has reclaimed virtually the
whole province of Galicia- The fight
ing in this campaign has been of I'M
usual intensity, with heavy losses. The
figures of killed, wounded and cap
tured. as given in Austrian, German
into the hundreds of thousands.
Russia Planned to Stay.
Russia had made plans for perma-
in officials to set up civil administra-
ton in the territory as fast as it was
taken. Lemberg was rechristened
Lvov, the old Russian-Polish name.
The city has population of about
100000 and was an important Aus
trian military station. Although
founded in the thirteenth century, it is
for its imposing buildings. The city
is protected by outlying forts, although
its defenses are much inferior to those
of Przemysl
