Five Hundred BARRIERS Beg Hughes and
Fairbanks to Shave EN- Of.
st. Louis, June 14.--F'ive hundred st
Louis BARRIERS have adopted q resolu-
tion urging the presidential and vice
presidential nominees Of the republican
party to shave off their whiskers. The
resolution reads:
Whereas, the presidential and vice
presidential nominees Of the republic
can party are guilty. and have been
guilty for some time of wearing long,
unshorn whiskers; therefore be it
Resolved, that this organization go
on record as Directing to these whis-
kers. claiming that the whiskers are a
detriment to the BARRIERS of ST. Louis
and the United States in the example
they set. 1t Is therefore, desired by tbs
BARRIERS Of 81. Louis and vicinity that
these whiskers be Immediately re-
moved"
Members of the BARRIERS union ex-
planned that while Hughes and Fair
banks probably sought the services OF
BARRIERS more frequently than the
smooth shaven Wilson, there were
many staunch republicans and demo-
Gratis who nightly gladly avail them
selves of the opportunity Of not shaw
ing. and probably would go during the
entire length of the administration
without visiting a barber shop.

Retailers in the United States, de-
clare local furniture men, are facing
a condition similar to that existing in
Europe and the buying public will
soon feel the result of war prices in
their purchases of everyday needs.
The following from the Grand Rapids
Furniture Record is of special inter-
est: THE organized furniture manu-
facturers of England have declared
further advance upon all cabinet and
upholstered goods, making total in
crease of 80 per cent on pre-war prices.
Retailers are wondering when the
limit of rising prices will be reached,
for apart from the above named ad-
vance the retailer has to face a further
(third) advance in the linoleum trade
as we'll as in taffetaS, cretOnnes, linens,
etc. Some anxiety is also caused by
special clause which, now appears in
many contracts to the effect that ow-
ing to exceptional difficulties of man
ufactured orders which cannot be de-
livered within three months of the
date of order may be cancelled at the
option of the buyer or delivered at the
prices current on the day of dispatch"

GOPHERS BEGIN WORK
Time to Guard Crops With Traps and
POisonS, Says Dice.

Manhattan, Kan, March 2S.-Goph-
ers are just beginning their early
spring work of burrow extension and
determination at once before the in
crease of young which takes place in
late March or April, advises DR.. Lee
r. Dice, in charge of injurious mann
NAL investigation in the Kansas eX-
pertinent station.
Poisoning is the cheaper method
where the gophers are numerous, but
it is not quite so efficient as trap
ping" says DR.. Dice. when one is
trapping, he may always be sure OF
Just what results are obtained. The
ordinary steel trap may be used or,
what is somewhat better, those traps
designed especially for this animal:
The principle of these traps is that or
the spring rat trap. The gopher
thrusts his head into the trap when
bringing dirt to the surface
Poisoning is the most effective nc
easily applied method of Kidding d
badly infested farm. Some years age
the experiment station at the Kansas
State Agricultural college began the
manufacture of a poi-on which mas
proved effective. Openings into the
burrows are made with a sharp iron
or stick and the corn as treated IS IN
troduced into the runways. Sulphate
of strychnine crystals may be pur-
chased also and inserted into ralSlnS,
prunes or pieces of sweet potatoes by
means of a slit made with sharp
knife, and then introduced into the
gopher runways in the same manner

BUILD BIG SCHOOL HOUSE.
Stafford Voted Bonds for $4,000
Building: Utilize Old School

Stafford, Kan, March 2S.-Stafford
school district has voted bonds IN the
sum of $4,000 for the purpose OF
erecting a new high school building
The election was carried by a major
ity of 365, the vote for the bonds be-
ing nearly five to one. Stafford en-
joys the distinction of having the
largest high school of any third class
CITY in Kansas, and the election just
held displays the usual spirit of prog
ress which has characterized the town
in the past.
The new buildings will replace the
towns present grade building, a
structure which has done service for
many years and which is in bad
state of repair. The present high
school will be converted into a grade
building and the new house will be a
strictly modern and up-to-date hlgh
school building. The district now has
a gymnasium fund, started two years
ago with the intention of erecting a
separate building for this purpose.
The gym will now be Incorporated IN
the new structure and the fund used
in that way.

hours. Phil Billiard skidded off the
east end of the Sixth street viaduct,
struck telegraph pole and broke it.
Another time Phil Billiard tore a
wheel off his Stutz when he ran it
into the curbing at Seventh and West
ern rather than hit a man.
In 1910 he turned his 1910 Speed
well clear over when he missed a Gull
vert. Not a hair of his head was
touched. Again he tore a wheel off
on the bridge of Shunganunga creek
when he turned aside to avoid a jay
driver.
But it was the Ford that caused Phil
Billiard his only painful accident He
won't talk much about that Ford. One
time he drove the car down into south
ern Kansas and came home on
crutches, minus the Ford The Ford
has never been seen in Topeka since
