SHE 'FESSES UP!
Washburn Girl Finally Tells How
She Won Story Prize.

She was not at all literary, made
no claims of being so, but it is well
known that a certain Topeka woman
while in Washburn received a grade
of 100 for writing a composition of a
given length within certain limited
time. For years she kept her source
of inspiration q secret, as well as the
nature of her prize winning effort,
and in the meantime has never tried
another literary offering.
However, this afternoon she told a
party of friends how she won the
prize.
The professor of English, when 1
attended Washburn, asked us to write
a composition of 500 words within a
certain time limit, and offered a prize
for the best composition The subject
and form was left to US. We could
write a short story, an exposition or
anything.

establishment of a national road sys-

Yields France into complete nation,
and, except for incidental government
al convenience. obliterates the divid
ing lines among its several depart
ments which are similar to our states.
If we had forty-eight states, each
one possessing relatively the same
area, population. and resources as the
others, then it would be a reasonable
conclusion that state from its own
resources should build its avenues of
communication as it provides other
things in the public utility class. This
also might be said of the county sub
divisions of a state.
But a state is not divided into equal
parts, nor is tho nation divided into
equal states. The inevitable necessity
in the building of that which serves
a general good is to extend the area
of taxation that the nation as n
whole will contribute and cooperate
with the several states in such a way
as to encourage them toward a graz
ual amalgamating of the largest COM
mercial zones and, finally, the parts
of which these zones are made up.
Briefly, this explains why the ma
tional government must now include
roads as one of the important things
which have to do with national pros
perity. OF course, the self-propelIed
vehicle, time saving and distance-cov-
ering, is responsible for the growing
cohesiveness of the country as a

of transportation for every thirty
people. The present figure is over
two million and a half vehicles and
another million is being produced and
sold in the present year.

Millions of bushels of wheat can be
saved from the ravages of the Hes
sian fly if farmers follow the method
of fighting this pest now being advo-
Gated by advanced agricultural scien-
lists and practical farmers, is the
opinion of the Soil Improvement
Committee of the National Fertilizer
Association, which in session at Hot
Springs, Va, voted to wage a great
campaign to combat the pest.
The key to the situation is know
ing the f1y's life history. This brings
better understanding of the simple
method used to fight it, and mini
mics the chances of your fields be-
ing ravaged. Literally it is a YAM
plre sucking the life-blood from your
wheat
There are two broods of the fly
the fall and spring broods. With the
fall brood the flies come out of the
pupa or "fax-seed" stage. They live
about two weeks and then die, or
most Of them are killed By the first
frost. But during their lifetime they
migrate extensively, going to other
fields from where they Matched. Here
they lay their eggs and the maggots
soon hatch 10 begin work in the
stems at the base of the plant.
When thus affected the plant soon
does not "tiller" or stool" and the
early winter finds it dead.

HAS BAD-BOY EPIDEMIC
And War Is Blamed for That. Too;
Juvenile Courts Crowded

London, July 22.-England is being
swept by an epidemic of bad boys.
Ever since war began thousands of
homes have been left in charge of
mothers who had depended on their
men to discipline the youngsters. Un-
restrained, now that their fathers are
at the front, the fatherless generation
is running the gamut of mischief and
petty crime.
American mothers left in the same
predicament at the beginning of the
Spanish-American war will under
stand how sorely tried are the Eng
lishwomen in attempting to keep their
sons In, the paths of righteousness
The situation is aggravated because the
war has given rise to impetuous ac-
tons and words on the part of the
youngsters, who daily read and hear
of carnage and passion in the war
zones.
Don't Like Feminine Rule
In appealing for funds for a home
for boys today the Bishop of Man
chester declared that anyone who
has seen mother trying to manage
boy between the ages of IA and 16
knows she has her hands full Her
control is an appeal to the boys af-
to enforce the needed appeal to the
boys sense of duty"
Hundreds of boys have been arrest
ed for petty offenses who are too
young to join the colors and too old
to put up with feminine discipline.
Juvenile homes are rapidly filling
up with boys who have been declared
fncorrisible after numerous appear
ances in court. The London papers
carry advertisements offering counsel
and help to mothers whose sons have
become unruly. The private services
of men who have wide experience in
handling boys are offered. Records
show that the majority of these bad
boys come from war widows homes.

Think of the Cattle That Could
Be Fed With 1t.
A WAY OUT IS At HAND
Government Experts Tell How
1t Can Be Utilized.
Straw and Slower Mixed With
Concentrated Feed.

A vast quantity of feed available for
cattle is now either wasted absolute
ly or put to some less profitable use,
says a recent report which the depart
ment of agriculture has just published
as part w of a comprehensive survey
of the entire meat situation in the
United States. Failure to utilize the
full value of this material has in
creased unnecessarily the cost of pro-
ducing meat, has diminished the prof
it's from cattle feeding, and has dis
Outraged many farmers from engaging
in an industry essential to their per-
manent prosperity.
According to the report already
mentioned, the loss in grain straw and
corn slower amounts to more than
S1oo,o00,0O0 annually. Both of these
products are disposed OF most eco
nomically when fed to cattle in con-
nection with some form of concen-
trated feed. Straw is especially val
liable in carrying the breeding herd
through the winter, in wintering
stockers. and as supplementary reeo
for wintering cattle. especially mature
breeding cows Nevertheless, in many
sections of the country where these
products IRE abundant, little attempt
is made to take advantage of their
value for these purposes.
Grain Straw Production.
OF an annual straw crop OF approx
imately 120,00O,000 tons. it is esti-
mated that only two-thirds is put to
its best use-live stock production.
Of the remainder a little more than
one-half is sold or turned under and
the rest-15 per cent of the total crop
is burned. Burning is practically
an absolute waste and although plow-
ing under does contribute something
to soil fertility, the benefit to the
LAID is less than that which would be
derived from the use of the straw to
produce manure. "Of all systems of
obtaining permanent soil fertility
says the report, none is SO practical
or as easily available as that of feed
ing live stock
The average value of all kinds of
straw is placed at about So ton. In
many sections, of course, no such
price can be realized for it, and as a
matter of fact only about per cent
of the crop actually is sold. The
figure mentioned, however, may be
taken as representing the NGlue to the
farmer of straw if he will use it prop
erly in his farming operations as feed
for bedding. In order to illustrate
how this may be done The report
gives three sample rations for winter
ing a breeding herd of beef cattle Oh

corn, and cottonseed or linseed meal.

PROHIBITION CANDIDATE
 TRAVELLED 2ooC0 MILES
J. Frank Hanly Has Visited 34 States
 Since Sept. 8.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Nov. Sold home trails were hit again today by J. Frank Hanly, the prohibition presiden- tial candidate. when the dry party special train came back to Indiana after visiting 34 states and travelling almost 10000 miles since Sept 8.
 Hanly again turned a broad range of fire onN state and national demo- cratic and republican candidates for their silence on the dry issues. In- diana's two vice presidential candi- dates came in for particularly vigorous attacks. Fairbanks, he insisted, aided in packing the republican national convention with liquor men so his party would appeal to the liberal vote." Of Vice President Marshall he said that Ira Landrith, the dry vice presidential candidate, would, if elect ed, lift the office to which he aspired from it's present 'pitifully low estate to the proud position the fathers in- tended it should occupy"
 Unusual optimism over the prohibi- tionists' prospects marked Hanly' speeches.
 "On this long journey" he said, Eve have found response to our plans fol the cause such IS no other man ever heard. Over this country we have laid broad and deep the foundation fol victory.
 Give us 5o,oO0 votes in Ii, diana and one million in the nation tai.s year and we will force one of the cid parties te adopt dry platform at it's next con- Vention, or we will lead a victorious fight for a dry nation with another | party"

Indiana and Illinois. Investigation ha4 developed the fact that a number of the negroes have registered in viola tion of the laws of the states to which they have gone, and have expressed the intention of voting in those states.
 Trickery Resorted To.
 Some information has been deveI- oped indicating plans in different states to violate the federal statutes with reference to election in other ways, such as registration of non naturalized citizens, false registration by padding the registration lists with fictitious names with the intention of having persons falsely represent them selves to be the persons whose names appear on the list and vote under those names, what are commonly known as repeaters, false counts and returns by election boards, entering on the poll books as having voted fictitious per- sons or persons who have failed to vote, intimidation in various forms, including that by employers of their employees through threats which tend to coerce the will of the employees.
 Facts in the possession of the de- partment show in one city the pad ding of registration lists with f1ctf- tious names to an extent which, in the light of accurate information already obtained, indicates that the number of such false names probably reached into the thousands"

THREE PASSENGER SHOT
 BY THE VILLA BANDITS
When They Fired Into Train-One
 Was a Woman.

Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 3.-Passengers arriving from Chihuahua City on the delayed passenger train late last night brought additional details of the rob- bery of the Mexican Central passenger train which left Juarez Monday. They said three passengers were shot by the Villa bandits when they fired into the passenger train, one being Mexi- can woman. It was not known wheth- CT they were killed. The conductor who was shot through the hip, was the son of an American, they said.
 Three passengers reported that the Carranza guards fought the Villa ban- dits and that eight of the guards es- capped, the remaining nine, including Captain Guzman, being shot. The passengers stated. however, that there was report in Chihuahua City that a number of Carranza guards had joined the bandits.
 The passengers confirmed the re- port that passengers, both men and women, were robbed of their clothing. Icing obliged to weNr blankets and even newspapers into Chihuahua City.
