MELONS GROW IN KANSAS.
Climate Is All Right-Sandy Loan Is
Best Soil.

Manhattan, Kan, April 13.-The
climate of Kansas is adapted to sue
cessfuI melon culture and wherever
the soil is suited to the requirements
of these crops, they may be profitably
grown, either for home use or on a
commercial scale, declares F. S. Mer
rill. assistant in horticulture in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
Melons attain the highest quality
on a sandy loan, or light soil contain
ing plenty of humus, free from weeds
and well drained" says Mr.. Merrill.
"a soil of this type with a clay sub
soil gives the ideal condition, especially
in cases where the rainfall is likely to
be deficient. soil that is very rich
in nitrogen should not be selected, for
although the vine growth is increased
and larger fruit result, the quality is
usually decreased. Such fruit is soft
and rather insipid and does not keep
or ship well.
For home planting, the heavier soils
may be fitted for melons by work
ing we'll rotted manure into the hills.
Such soils often produce good fruits.
For commercial growing, melons can
be more cheaply produced on the
lighter soils to which they are best
adapted"

SURVEY CITY SCHOOLS.
Topeka Official Takes Part in Investi-
CATION That Covers State.

Lawrence, Kan, April ia COM
plete survey of all city schools in Kan
sas has been started by committee
appointed by the Kansas SchoolmaS-
ters' club in an effort to make the
school reports in every city of the
state uniform so that comparisons can
be made, Dean F. ]. Kelley of the
school of education at the University
of Kansas, has announced. Superin-
tendents of city schools have been
asked to make out uniform report
of school conditions in their COM
munity. Heretofore these reports
have been made out in an individual
way and there was no basis OF COM
parison, it was pointed out, and the
school men think that much good
could be derived if one school could
compare its condition with another
on an equal basis. Looking toward
this Dean Kelley has sent out uniform
blanks to all city superintendents in
the state. A few of the points covered
are:
How successful are the ScnoolS IN
holding the pupils?
Are the children in grades in which
they normally should belong?
What preparation and experience
have the teachers had? Are their
salaries adequate?
What proportion of the city budget
is spent for schools? What is the
cost per pupil of instruction, super
vision. fuel, janitors and buildings?
What is the percentage of failures
made by the pupils?

ADMISSIONS HELP
Germany COnfesses Sinking
Three Merchant Ships.
Q. S. Prepares Reply While
Awaiting Official Text.

Washington, April 13. = While
awaiting the official text of Germany's
note on the Sussex and other cases,
which was expected momentarily to-
day administration officials were care
fully examining statements in the un-
official text received from Berlin and
comparing them with evidence already
at hand.
Germany's admissions that her sub
marine recently torpedoed three mer-
chant ships carrying Americans and
that one of them attacked a vessel
near the point where the Sussex met
disaster, simplifies the work of the
state department in preparing for the
next step of this country'S policy in
the submarine controversy.
Officials make it plain that this step
rests on the accumulation of evidence
that American lives are constantly in
danger in violation of their rights.
The United States will continue to
compile evidence indicating that Ger
man submarines are operating in vio-
lation of the rules of international
law.
Instructions to Ambassador Gerard
designed as the final word of this gov
ernment on the subject will soon be
sent to Berlin, it is said.

nature"
Mr.. Clark came right back with
the following and is anxiously await

Should we arrange privately and
be successful in capturing Villa or any
of his followers, will the army con-
sent to the captors accepting our re-
ward for the delivery to us of uni

Should you agree to this then we will

To End Dandruff

stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when

scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sim
gle sign and trace OF it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in

lustrous, glossy, silky and soft and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any

BIG NAVY WASTE
First Glass Expenditures With
Fourth Glass Results.
Lack of General staff Is Cause,
Says ROden.

Washington, April 13.-To the lack
of a general naval staff was attributed
the unpreparedness of the American
navy and its want of battle efficiency
by E K. Roden, of Scranton, Pa, in
an address at today's session of the
Navy League of the United States. The
speaker was discussing the subject,
why We Need a Navy General Staff.
Mr. Roden declared that with an
appropriation not larger than that eX-
pended by the United States, Germany
has built up a navy 80 per cent greater
in combined units and as a whole,
more modern n construction and this
he attributed to the fact that the Ger
man navy is headed "by a tried-out
efficient general staff" He asserted
that although, during the past fifteen
years congress has appropriated more
than a billion and a half dollars for
the navy, a sum greatly IN excess OF
that by any other power except Great
Britain yet at the present time our
navy is rated as a fourth class power"
