The safety first" movement is or

AN ENocH ARDEN IN KANSAS
Woman Claims to Be Daughter Of
Hutchinson Man Believed by
Relatives to Be Single

This is the story of a modern Enoch
Arden, who happened to be bache-
Tor, at least everybody, including his
own family. thought he was.
Two years ago when Josiah W.
Wright, a Hutchinson business man,
died, it was generally supposed he was
an '-old bachelor" Recently when his
brothers were about to divide up his
estate, a young woman, Mrs Kate
Probowsco. of Arkansas City, showed
up in probate court, claiming to be a
daughter of the deceased
The story she related is about as
thrilling as the original Enoch Arden
tale, with the additional merit that it
is true, providing, of course, she sub
stimulates the tale in probate court.
Anyhow, here's her story:
Thirty-one years ago her mother,
now Mrs. Oberman, of Arkansas City,
and Josiah Wright, were married at
Halstead, unknown to his folks. They
lived together for several years, and
Katie, now % years of age, was born
After a time there was domestic trou-
bic, and they separated
One day Mrs. Wright received a
telegram, purporting to be from the
mother of her husband, which an
nounced that he was dead. In time
she remarked. Then one day Josiah
Wright dropped into Arkansas City to
visit his wife and daughter. He found
she was the wife of another.
1t was a shock, for he had deter
mined to turn over a new leaf, return
to his wife and daughter, and re-unite
his home. Now he found another in
his place. To protect his wife and
daughter from the shame there would
be should they learn of his being alive
he quietly left and not until his death
two years ago did his wife learn the
truth.
In the meantime Josiah Wright had
kept his lips sealed and never let any
of the members of his family know
of his marriage, or that he had a
daughter living. When he died, il was
| supposed he was without relatives ex-
cepting his brothers. They laid him
at rest in a mausoleum and later
gathered to divide his estate

MAKING More Wood Flour.

One of the new industries increased
by the European war is the manufac-
ture of wood flour in the United
States Last month over 10000 tons
valued at 100000 was manufactured
chiefly in small mills which are scat
tered over the country from Maine
to California. The flour is used in
the manufacture of Iinoleums as a
substitute for the cork imported from
Spain before the war, and also enters
largely into the composition of some
of the heavier and handsomer wall
papers. Wood -four is made from
sawdust and other waste lumber
which until a few years ago was
