PEASANT GIRL Rider
Swiss Beauty Dainty Equestrfenne
With Barnum & Bailey.

She was born in a beautiful little
hillside bungalow in faraway Switzer-
land in the month of July, exactly
twenty-six summers ago and she has
risen from humble dancing girl and
object holder" in a little European
one ring circus to the enviable position
of premier lady bareback rider of the
world.
Such is the brief life history of Miss
Flora Bender, the dainty little eques-
trienne whose picture accompanies
this story and who will appear in per-
son in Topeka, August 8, when the
Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth comes to town for two perform
ances.
She began to practice during the
hours when the show was not exhib-
lting. Receiving encouragement from
the management she developed her
talent rapidly and when she was 10
years old she made her first appear
ance as a principal bareback rider at
the Circus Schumann, in Frankfort,
Germany. After a finishing course of
year in the small European circuses.
an agent of the Barnum & Bailey show
discovered her in Paris and offered
her a trial engagement in America.
Her success in this country was almost
instantaneous and she is now the fea-
ture rider of the Barnum & Bailey cir
Gus. Miss Bender'S grace and beauty
have contributed no small part toward
her success on this side of the ocean
and she has made a host of friends in
every city that the Barnum & Bailey
show visits. The horse in the accom-
panying picture is Thunder Cloud" a
full-blooded Arabian stallion, and Miss
Bender's favorite ring partner.

7. R. WILL SPEAK
Colonel Headliner on Hughes
Acceptance Program.
He May Make COuntry-Wi
Tour in the Campaign.

Oyster Bay n. Y, July 29.-Colonel
Roosevelt has accepted the invitation
of the national Republican, committee
to speak at the notification ceremonies
of Charles E. Hughes at Carnegie hall
Monday night and his address on that
occasion is expected to be one of the
strongest documents of the campaign
From the present indications, both
Roosevelt and Hughes will direct their
heavy fire at the Mexican policy of the
administration. Both are charged TO
the muzzle with information regarding
the present conditions in that section
of the country, including that part
the militia is playing on the border at
the present time.
Senator Albert B. Fall. of New Mex
leo, who went over the Mexican situa-
ton with Hughes, in New Y ork Thurs
day afternoon, left the Republican can
didate and came direct to Oyster Bay,
where he and the colonel talked for
several hours.
A Country Wide Tour.
While the colonel Is still maintain
ing that he is out of politics and will
not participate in the campaign ex-
cept for several speeches in different
parts of the country, there is reason to
believe that when the fight begins to
warm up the colonel will jump in and
in all proba bility make q countrywide
tour. Friends who have talked with
the former president recently, believe
he is getting restless and that when
the first smoke of the battle gets in
his nostrils he will lose no time get
ting to the firing line.
The colonel refused to comment on
the action of Progressive State chair
man J. A. H. Hopkins of New Jersey
in saying the colonel uttered a false
hood when he said he (Hopkins) told
the colonel during a conversation tha
he would have supported Hughes had
he in tod no inc
tice early in the game. The colonel
and Hopkins are now even, the colonel
having passed the Progressive chair
man the short and uglier word in de-
Eying that he ever told Hopkins that
Hughes might turn out to be another
geld brick"

1t Is Up to City Commissioners

Danger. in the form of excessive

the city health offices today following
completion of meteorological tests II
ice cream sold by Topeka fac
tories. The tests were made by Miss
Annetta NicolI, city bacteriologist, I'M
der the direction of DR.. Leslie Rowles'
head of the milk department
That some of the cream is danger
Gus to health because of the high
bacteria rate was agreed upon by Or
Rowles and Dr. II. L. Clark. city
health officer. In one test the rate
of bacteria per cubic centimeter was
69e million.
The condition was described by
Doctor Rowles as rotten and py
Doctor Clark as dangerous"
Milk Fat Good.
The per cent of milk fat in the
cream, the report showed, is good.
That rate IS regulated by city ordl-
nance The bacteria rate is not. De
sor RowIes and Doctor Clark both ad-
raitfed an ordinance governing the
bacteria rate is needed
7 am not going to ask the city
commissioners for such an ordinance,
Doctor Rowles said. However, l ex-
they can take any action they sea III;
If they give US an ordinance We VIII
enforce it with pleasure"
THE putrefactive or colon group OF
bacteria in the cream is dangerous,
Doctor Clark said. THE Tactic acid
bacilli are not dangerous.
Evidence of Carelessness.
81 would say some of the high bac-
terra rate in the cream is caused by
some of the manufacturers being care
less with the milk they use. The bac-
terra is also multiplied when the cream
is not properly packed.
81 also understand some of the
plants here are not so sanitary as they
might be. Doctor Rowles has report
ed some of them to the state dairy
commissioner. He can take action IN
the matter more effectively than we
can"
Doctor Rowles said another bac-
teriological test of cream samples
from all plants would begin as soon as
possible after August l.
Il understand" Doctor Clark said
today, that many cities limit by ord
nance, the bacteria rate in ice cream
to the same amount that is allowed
in milk. Our milk limit here is 300.-
600. Many other cities let the limit
be placed higher than that, however"
Only four of the tests made were
under the 500. 900 mark.

CONGRESSMAN TURNS FARMER TO TEST FREE SEEDS
 FOR HIS CONSTITUENTS
Special to Gateway by United Press)

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 WASHINGTON, April 28. - To make sure he is not deceiving his constituents, and that he is not being deceived by the Agricultural Depart ment, as well as to experiment in the production of first class vegetable seed, Congressman Jesse Davenport of Oklahoma today donned a pair of blue overalIs and hied away across the river from Washington to cuIti- vate a seven-acre farm and practiceo on the governments seed crop
 Associated with him in cultivation of the festive soy bean and the gam boiling cow pea is J. s. Cofmca, an old time employee of the government printing office, who owns the farm.
 Possessed with the idea that those numerous packages of seeds which the government sends out at the re- quest of "your Congressman" maybe grow turnips instead of Early Spring radishes, cauGAower instead of frost proof ccb5ages, and spinach instead of Golden Head lettuce, Congressman Davenport has started this practical test within the shadows of the capitol.
 It might be tat they are good vote getters and again, a constituent ex- pecting to raise crop of rutabages surely would be irtita,od to find pars- nips instead.
