BERATEs GAS REcEIvERsHIP
Governor capper Calls it Outrageous,
Dishonorabie and Direct Az
front to the People.

The most outrageous and dishon-
orable incident in the history of Kan
sas, were the terms used by Gov
ernor Capper recently in discussing
the Kansas Natural Gas Company re-
ceivership- The governor promised
he would do everything possible to Sc
cure from the legislature law that
would stop the practice of mulcting
utilities which get into legal difficult
ties The governor said.
1T is difficult to speak temperately
of the Kansas gas receivership.

dishonorable in Kansas history.

ance of the Kansas people under four
years of gas law.

ent phase of the matter through as
best we may and the forthcoming ses-
sion of the legislature, l am conf
dent, will forever make the repetition
of such outrages impossible.
: 81 shall urge the next legislature to
put an end to this judicial graft and
legal skulduggery. We must enact a
law limiting receivership fees and
costs and making it impossible to al
low more than the service is actually
worth. Kansas can do no finer SER
vice for the country than to inaugu-
rate this reform 1 favor making the
utilities commission directly respon-
sible for all public utility receiver
ships. The business of the bankrupt
concern should be under the super
vision of the commission and operated
by receiver employed by the COM
mission in the same manner that an
insolvent bank is now handled by
receiver appointed by the bank COM
missioner. 1 shall urge the next leg
islature to enact such law, not only
because it will eliminate the receiver
ship graft, but because it is the prac-
tical, economical and businesslike way
to handle such business"

HIGH GRADE BUTTER PRICES
Producers of First-cIass Articles Are
Realizing Nice Margin Over
Inferior Product

Ffrst-grade butter is still in big de-
mand in this country and the pro-
ducers of good butter are realizing a
nice margin in price over the producers
of second grade butter. Because of
foreign competition with our second
grade butter the difference in price be-
tween frst-grade and second-grade is
wide. Foreign competition has not
materially increased the supply of
frst-grades, while the supply of Sec
onds has been increased tremendously.

to restlessness, irritability and lack OF
concentration, the child's fatigued con-
dition may sometimes show itself in
uneasy sleep, or in lack of appetite, or
in general languor.
When any of these symptoms show
themselves it is well to increase the
amount of sleep adding an afternoon
nap where possible. The attention of
an adult who can help to hold the
child's interest in some continuous oc-
cupation and the removal as far as
possible of all distractions would be
helpful.

BETTER QUALITY OF BUTTER
Article Sells on Its Merits as to Flavor,
Taste and Color Control
Flavors and Odors.

Butter is used primarily to iupzuwe
the palatability of foods for human
consumption. 1t sells on its merits as
to taste, flavor and color, though some
are Influenced by its texture. Color
may be produced artificial1y in way
to please the most particular person
and it therefore becomes of secondary
Importance to the producer; it does not
imply quality, but oftimes rich color
will compensate for a lack OF other
qualities.
Flayors and odors in butter may be
controlled to a certain extent by care
In feeding and handling cows. The
volatile fats in milk are quick to abb
sorb odors, either from feeds during
the process of digestion and assimila-
ton in the COW or from strong odors
coming in contact with the milk after
1t has been drawn. The latter may be
obviated by keeping the stable and
utensils sweet and clean, free from
dust and all Objectionable odors. When
disinfectants are used about the sta
bles care must be exercised to air the
stables thoroughly, for the milk will
absorb the odor of disfnfectants in
remarkably brief time. The most ef-
fective plan is to disinfect as soon as
the cows are turned out, then air the
stables well for at least three or four
hours.
