wearer moves down the avenue.
The light dresses are of blue moon

street dress is of black taffeta.
The arrival of the large hat has
been advertised, foretold, threatened
and hoped forget it did not come.
Now it is here, so let us be satisfied.
Some of the canotiers are as big as
cart wheels, exceeding in size anything
before seen on the civilized human
head. But the proper street hat, it
seems, is not to be so atrociously
large, but big enough to shade the
face and outwit the Notwithstanding
sun.

foolish little apron of fig leaves, has
known many changes. The evolution
of women's apparel has reached its
height, and is appearing to be "evo-
luting" backwards. When Mrs. Eve
left the ole home estate, after eating
an apple-an act instigated for the
purpose of worrying husband with
the little game of "one 1 love, two 1
love- played with apple seeds-the
apron was at the height of style. The
next step in al fresco fabrics was
toward the wearing of furs- That
style has continued to be good, and is
especially popular-or was last year
in midsummer. Then Eve drew in her
apron string a few reeves and started
the small waist craze. The next gar
ment she donned was a shawl, and
from that time on, capes have had
their regular innings. So that is how
it all comes about. So be it. We
don't care.

in NORTH Topeka
Russians Are Sending Little
Money to Their Old Homes.
Farmers Are Holding Their
Wheat for Higher Prices.

A large decrease is noted in the
writing of money orders which are
sent to foreign countries. The Rus
slams in the eastern part of town have
sent through their interpreter, Chas-
Gerteisen, large amounts of money to
relatives in Russia for their transport
tation to this country, but on account
of the mail which they send having to
be censored and a charge of Is cents
made to insure safe arrival, together
with the fact that the port through
which all of the mail sent, was cap
tured by the kaiser, it has been al
most impossible to send or receive any
news from relatives
Port Libau was taken by the Ger
mans, and now all mail is sent to
Archangel, and passage has just been
opened at that port recently, after
long, cold winter, which made land
ing impossible. A few orders are sent
by the Mexican and Italian residents
of North Topeka, but the large de-
crease is noted where they were sent,
by the banks and postoff1ce, from
Russians.
Farmers Holding Their Wheat.
Not much Kansas wheat is shipped
to Topeka over the Santa Fe. The
reason for the shortage is that the
farmers are holding their wheat for
higher prices. and the market is low
at present. A premium is paid for
Santa Fe shipments by millers on ac-
count of the scarcity. Nearly all of
the wheat shipped on this line is sent
to Galveston and southern points.
b. d. Mize Is Improving.
The condition of B. d. Mize, whose
| leg was amputated at the knee, is re-
ported a little improved today. 1t was
| feared that blood poison might cause
his death, but his condition this morn
ing was very satisfactory.

Mrs. H. Drellinger, formerly a resi-
dent of North Topeka, but recently of

\ NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN
FOR BETTER RURAL SCHOOLS,

From the day DR.. p. p. ClaXton as
sumed his duties as United States
Commissioner of Education, a ma
ton wide campaign has been waged
for better rural schools. Commls-
sioner ClaXton is now in his fifth
year of service and every year dur
ing his administration he has insis-
ted on advanced steps being taken
by the bureau itself for rural school
progress, as well as to urge upon
administrative school officers, teach
ers and patrons throughout the ma
ton the imperative necessity for i'm
proving the rural schools.
Secretary Lane of the Department
of the Interior in his annual report
for 1915 to the president of the Uni
ted States sounds a clarion call for
a nationwide campaign for better
rural schools He urges upon con-
gress the appropriation of 100000
for two or three years, with which
to wage this campaign. For a cabinet
officer to take such a bold stand for
the long neglected rural school gives
new hope to the friends of rural edu-
cation throughout the country
In educational opportunity the city
boy and girl have privileges far su.
\ 70 Of fn Il
farm girl. In funds, In length of
term, in equipment, in buildings, in
administration and supervision, in
courses of study, in efficiency of the
teaching force, and in salaries paid,
the superiority of the city schools is
so far above that of the rural schools
as to make the situation in many sec
tions of the country deplorable. 1t
has been so desperate in many in
stances during the past % years,
when contrasted with the splendid
opportunities of the city school, that
it is given more times than any other
reason by fathers and mothers for
moving from the farm to the city.
For, as Secretary Lane declares: "An
ambitious people will go where edu-
cation can be had for their children.
There is no sense in talking of the
charms of country life and the inde-
pendence and dignity of producing
from the soil if the school at com
mand is no more modern than a
wooden plow."
Therefore, let every agency of
state and nation be organized and put
in motion for the purpose of giving
the rural schools a square deal.

ber in the work last year. The
music faculty has been increased one
third on account of the large number
of women who wish to take indivi-
dual lessons in piano and voice, for
which no tuition charge is made.
Last years enrolment reached All,
an increase of "a per cent. over that
of the year before. Actual attend
ance showed an increase of II per
cent over that of last year, and 176
per cent. over that of two years ago.
Forty-nine counties We're represented
in the student body, and five states
besides Oklahoma.
Preparations are being made to ac-
comodate. the largest enrolment in
the history of the school when the
winter term opens, on September s..
Oklahoma educators attribute the
great popularity of the Chickasha
school to two things. First, its sole
purpose is to furnish the ideal edu-
cation for the young women of Okla
homa, and it bends all its energies in
that direction; and second, living eX-
penses are very low, board and room
in the state dormitories being furn-
ished at $15 a calendar month, con
siderably cheaper than the CONNER
cial price.

FEDERAL AID
RURAL ROADS
RECENT LEGISLATION PROVIDES
FOR SYSTEM OF IMPROVED
HIGHWAYS-HOW STATES MAY
SECURE FUNDS.

Washington, July 15.-The sum of
SS5 100000 of federal funds is made
available for the construction of ru-
raj roads, by the passage of the fed
law on July II, 1916. OF this sum.
$4,000, 900 is to be expended for the
construction of rural post roads under
cooperative arrangements with the
highway departments of the various
states. and 100000 is to be ex-
pended for roads and trails within or
partly within the national forests.
The act limits the federal govern
ments share in road work in CO.
operation with the states 20 sc per
cent of the estimated cost of con-
struction. Federal aid may he eX-
tended to the construction of any
rural post road, excluding all streets
or roads in towns having a population
of $500 or more except the portions
of such streets or roads on which
the houses are, on an average, more
than 200 feet apart.
Five million dollars is made avail
able for expenditure during the fis.
cal year ending June 80. 1917, and
thereafter the appropriation is in
creased at the rate of twenty five
millions, making total of seventy
five millions. In addition, an appropri
alton of one million dollars year
for ten years, a total of ten million
dollars, is made available for the de-
velopment of roads and trails wholly
or partly within the national forests.
The class of roads to be built and
the method of construction are to be
mutually agreed upon by the secre-
tary of agriculture and the state high
way departments.
Apportionment Among States.
The act provides that after making
necessary deductions for administer
ing its provisions-not to exceed 3
per cent of the appropriation for any
one fiscal year,-the secretary of ag-
riculture shall apportion the remain
der of each years appropriation in
the following manner:
One-third in the ration which the
area of each state bears to the total
area of all the states;
One-third in the ratio which the
population of each state bears to the
total population of all the states;
One-third in the ratio which the
mileage of rural delivery routes and
star routes in each state bears to

routes and star routes in all the
