 Immediate passage of the bill to reg ulate the expenditure of money in cleo tions may seem to be less necessary than the immediate enactment of the other measures to which l refer be- cause at least two years will clapSe before another election in which fed eral offices are to be filled but IL would greatly relieve the public mind if this important matter were dealt with while the circumstances and the dan gers to the public morals Of the pres ent method of obtaining and spending campaign funds stand clear under re cent observation and the methods of expenditure can be frankly studied in the light of present experience; and q delay would have the further very Sc rfous disadvantage of postponing ac- ton until another election was at hand and some special object connected with 1t might be thought 10 be in the mind of those who urged it.

According to the story told by

LOSES Her RING
Engaged Girl Calls the Police
to Her Aid.
Beams With Happiness When
SparkIer Is Restored.

Because she doesn't want her fiance
to find out that she lost the engage

hour, the girls name is going to re-
main a secret But she lives down
Wakarusa way, she's going 10 be mar
ried in a few days and she came to
Topeka Wednesday to buy ner we'd
ding finery.
Among other stores she visited was
that of w. NJ. Crosby compan.'. She
wore on the third finger of the
proper hand diamond ring 1t SPELL
ed her engagement She was proud
of it but unaccustomed to it. When
she went into the toilet room at the
W. NJ. Crosby store to wash her hands
and face she hesitated about allowing
the new diamond to get wet so she
removed the ring and laid it in the
lavatory.
That's all she remembered about
the ring when she reported the loss at
the police station. She left il on the
IaVatory and went out into the store
Twenty minutes later she remembered
and hurried back, but the ring was
gone.
Robert Miller, detective, and Off
Ger Woodward, were sent to the store
to make an investigation. The girl
hoVered around in the vicinity of the
men, glancing anxiously at the bare
third finger of her left hand. EN-
ployes of the store gave the informa-
ton that II least one other woman
had visited the wash room after the
girl left, and they described her.
Miller and Woodward looked
through the store and found no one
fitting the description. Out on the
street, less than a block away, they
found the woman. She was dressed
| just as the store girls had described
her. The woman was highly indig-
nant when the officers quietly lowed
her to place more private than the
street.

demanded that she return the ring

The Wakarusa girl was little in

''She says she doesn't have the ring"
said the girl, and l don't believe she

The officers paid no more attention
to the protests of the girl than to
those of the woman. Miller took the
woman out of the presence of the girl
and demanded the ring without any
| further argument.
Come here out of sight and I'll
give you the ring" she said finally,
but I'll not give it to you in the
presence of that girl
The ring was produced and the
woman was allowed to go. Her name
and address, were secured. She doesn't

The Wakarusa girl was astonished

ring in the palm and asked her if it

THE
HESSIAN FLY
Methods Of Successful Mich
igan Farmers.

At this time, when the fight on the
Hessian Fly is becoming so wide
spread, and every implement of war
fare is being used, any word or meth
cd of control is eagerly sought. To the
"pestered" wheat growers nothing is
more .acce) table than news of the
success of other practical farmers,
and because of this the experience of
Mr.. P. |. 5imons of Calhoun County,
Mich. is worthy of note. 1t is not a
one years test, but observations
from three crops that the conclusion
is based Upon.
As Mr. Simons tells it: "The wheat
field was severely attacked by the
Hessian fly, and the average yield
that year was to bushels per acre.
Right across the fence from my wheat
field was another on the same kind
Of ground that had been prepared in
practically the same way.
"The difference was that I used
200 pounds of a complete fertilizer
per acre The application was made
with a fertilizer attachment to the
grain drill at the time of sowing. AT
four different places across the field
strips were untreated and the entire
field was seeded to clover
Cup to June 10th the fly had not
attacked my fortified wheat, but had
attacked the unfertilized wheat in the
same 1ield to such an extent that the
drill rows where no fertilizer was
used appeared as wagon roads across
the field At this time the field across
the fence from mine had practically
been destroyed, yielding only 3 bush
els pc acre. My wheat threshed out
p bushels per acre. The fertilizer
that year meant an increase of at
least Is bushels per acre to me.
"Now, when it came to the seeding
where no fertilizer was applied l fail
fortified portion of the field l had
the pest clover in the neighborhood"
= It should not be taken that fertili-
ger will kill the fly. 1t isn't an in
secticide, but it fulfllls its mission
when the increased health and vigor
of the plants results, and thus the
fly turns to the weaker, sicklier plants
to carry on the destruction. Sowing
late will help avoid the fall brood,
but no recourse other than having
good strong healthy plants can be
turned to so that the spring brood
will not have the chance of profit
taking.

producers going to one door in the
shipping station called the Grade

ducers bringing their milk to another
part of the building, called the Grade B

1.-THE stimulus of the bacterial tests
and the bonus acted with such force
on these producers that in short time
all of them graduated into the Grade

ner the reduction of bacteria from
many millions under the old methods
down to a thousand and even less than
a thousand as a result Of the adoption
of new methods"

Beware Of open coolers. Cool nights

Beware of wooden paddles or stir
