To Use Lighter Weight Paper.

Washington.-The department oil
agriculture issued circular recon-
mending the use of lighter weight pal
pers to relieve the present stringencH
in paper making materials. Many pub
fishers and many users Of wrapping
papers have adopted this plan, 1t is
said. The weights of printing, writing,
ledger and wrapping papers in many
instances, the department suggests
can be materially and profltably re,
duced. In single year the governs
ment, through this plan, effected a
saving of $4,000.

RAIN IN KANSAS

Why, even now, after all these
prosperous years, when the loss of an
occasional corn crop is more than
made up by the oat and wheat crops,
and we have no cause for money
anxieties-even now, sometimes
when we waken in the night and hear
the first patter of raindrops on the
roof, l unconsciously send up a
prayer Of thanksgiving and cry,
THANK God! it's raining"
We knew what it meant to us, that
soft, healing touch of the rain, like
food of soothing tears after long,
deep grief. The rain whose coming
would rouse the dry, parched,
cracked, starving earth to placid
fecundity once more; that could turn
brown, dead grass soft and green
again-what blessing 1t was! We
can never have too much rain, we
who lived through those first years in
Kansas. We would rouse in the hot
nights when we heard those first pat
tering drops on the roof and make a
quick sortie into the night to bring
in the coops of young chickens to the
dry safety of the kitchen. The rains
were like the droughts, intense and
concentrated. The wind would roar,
thunder would boom about our heads,
and the lightning would fizz and
crackle ominously.
Going to be regular gulley-
washer" we would say to one an
other, and go to sleep again, resting
in pleasant sense of calm security
all our worries and anxieties washed
away by the rain. For, somehow the
rain generally did come-just in
time. Nearly always in time. Some
times 1t didn't. Just often enough
to make the fear that it wouldn't
mark in few lines and wrinkles that
no amount of massage or cold cream
can rub out now,
We don't worry much about the
weather now that we have rotation of
crops and suffrage and motor cars in
Kansas. If it gets too hot in the
summer, we motor out to Colorado;
and in the fall we vote and make up
our club programs for the winter
and in the winter we go to Kansas
City to have our gowns made and to
see and hear the latest plays and
music-Elizabeth Sears in Harper
Magazine.

THE NATIONS LEADER

Woodrow Wilson has been the ma

years of its history.
He has been the spokesman for
humanity throughout the world at a
time of international upheaval
How great has been the restraint

of their knowledge of the force be-
hind the American president, prob
ably never can be accurately esti-
mated, 1t is certain, however, that
had 1t not been for the moral leader
ship of Woodrow Wilson, there
would have been no restraint at all
upon the belligerents.
Under the leadership of President
Wilson, the united states has given
evidence of reserve power which has
made all European nations, after
each new move, await the verdict OF
America.
There has been no egotism, nc
noise and buster, no attacks upon
honest business men from the White
House in the past three years. There
has been no junketing or excessive
speech making. President Wilson
has handled the world power that
destiny bestowed upon the United
States at the present crucial period
with faithfulness, discretion and the

Helpful
Health Hints

1t is better to be up and doing than to be
down and done.
Breathe freely and fully. The more you
expand your chest the less you will con-
tract cold.
Normal health may be defined as that con-
dition Of the body in which the digestive
tract is able to respond to every need arising,
from tissue consumed, thru mental or phys
ical activity.
The superiority of osteopathy in the domain
of rational therapy, during recent years,
points overwhelmingly to the efficacy of
natural methods. And clinical experience
in all parts of the world has been more IA
vorable to osteopathy than any other Their
apeutic agent known.

COOPERATION WITH
MEXICO IS DESIRE

Washington, April 2S.-One the eve
Of the conference at Juarez between
Gen. Obregon and Gen. Scott and
Gen. Funston, representing the Unit
ed States, it became known here to-
night that the American officers have
been instructed to attempt to work
out in detail military plans for the
cooperation of the Mexican and
American troops in the dispensing of
bandit bands, including division of
Northern Mexico into spheres Of act
ivity for the two forces.
Generally speaking, the Gins of the
genrals, Scott and Funston, will be to
obtain the consent Of Gen. Obregon to
the employment OF American troops
in the territory Immediately south Of
the border, and to the organizations
Of Mexican forces along definite lines,
in order that all of Northern Mexico
may be secured thoroughly for Villa
and other outlaws.
Ask Cooperation.
He will be told that the sooner the
Mexican troops give complete cooper
alton, the sooner the troops will ac-
compish this object.
The Mexican question including the
instructions to Generals Scott and
Funston were gone over fully at to-
days cabinet meeting, the first held
since it was determined to send Gen
Scott to the border to see Gen. Obre-
gon.
Officials here have noted the state
ment in border dispatches that Gen.
Obregon would assert that $4,000 Ca.'-
rama troops now were employed in
policing the territory south of the
border, thus insuring protection Of
American border towns from Mexican
raiders. .a. ",'
1t is generally understood however,
that this will not be regarded as the
convincing demonstration desired by
the WASHINGTON government.
Funston to Act.
The presence Of Gen. Funston at
the conference insures a full under
standing by Gen. Obregon and Gen.
Scott of what has been accomplished
by the American exposition, and what
further steps are contemplated. The
pursuit of Villa is going on according
to most recent reports from the
American advance base.
All of these matters can be cleared
up at the conference by Gen. Funston
himself, if he deems it eXpedient.
Mexican advices generally were
meagre today, and reported no i'm
portant changes in conditions in any
section.

Stormy Debate Breaks Out Over
Nomination in Commit.

FILIBUSTER CHARGED
FlLIBUSTER CHARGED
BY SUTHERLAND

Washington, April 2S.-A stormy
debate over the nomination tt Louis
D. Brandeis for the supreme court
broke in the senate late today and
before it was over predictions were
made by two members of the judici-
ary committee, one of them a demo-
crat, that an unfavorable report tn
the appointment would follow when
the committee reached vote.
Discussion was precipitated when
Senator Sutherland, Il republican
member Of the committee, read to the
senate an interview published yester-
day, quoting Senator Ashurst as
charging that republican members of
the judiciary ctmmittee were fill
clustering in order to delay vote OH
the nomination until after the nation
al political convention.
Senator Ashurst stood steadfastly
by the quoted statement during the
heated argument that followed, unii
assured by fellow democrats in the
committee that there was no such
tilibuser. He Withdrew the charge at
the suggestion of Senator Brandegee,
after he had announced executive ses-
sions and had charged the republi-
cans were angered over the nonlina-
ton of Mr. Brandeis, as he was a
champion Of the masses. 4ztsa
Tonight it was generally believed
that he debate would serve to bring
the committee to vote on the NOM
ination within a few days. All the
senators who took part in the discus
sion were members of the committee.
