WATER POWER BILL UP
Has Passed the Senate-Also to Reach
Vote on Election Expense Law.

Washington, July 13-The house
today took up the water power leas-
ing bill with the intention of complet-
ing it's consideration in time to take
up and complete also, if possible be-
fore adjournment, the Rucker corrupt
practices bill. An agreement has been
reached to vote on both measures Fri
day.
The water power bill has passed the
senate. The Rucker corrupt practices
bill in many respects is similar to the
Owen bill pending in the senate. Both
measures propose to restrict aggregate
expenditures of the candidates for the
United States senate to $1,000 each
and for the house to half that amount.
They prescribe that presidential and
vice presidential candidate shall ex-
pend not more than $4,000 and $685.

San Antonio, Tex, July IA trip
through Texas on a military troop
train proves conclusively that the peo-
pie of the Lone Star state want to get
into immediate action with Mexico at
the earliest possible moment. Every
trainload of soldiers from Kansas,
Missouri, Iowa and the other states
has been treated royalty by the Tex

Kansas Girls Remembered.
The northern rah rahs of Kansas
and neighbOring states are strong for
the Lone Star beauties. The girls
from the Oklahoma line to the bOr-
Ger are possessed with char1n ana
grace that is very pleasing to the SOL
der boy away from home. However,
as one Topeka lad put it, the average
Kansas girl has all the charms of all
the others tied up in one neat bundle
of lovellness.
While the situation on the border
seems to have relaxed its tension
somewhat, there is a universal feeling
in Texas and the national guardsmen
will remain on the line for six months
at least.

to be taking place.

the 18th of the present month, at
which time a meeting of the directors
will be held at Kansas City.
While there is no intimation as to
who will succeed Albert H. Dickinson

CAPONIZE OLD COCKERELS.
Sell Young Birds Early-Hold Capons
Professor Advises

Manhattan, July 13.-Caponizing
late cockerels on the farm. because of
increased profits and the saving of
eggs, is advocated by N. L. Harris, su-
perintendent of poultry at the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
From a financial standpoint the
earliest cockerels should be sold as
broilers, says Mr.. Harris. 1.-The price
early in the season is such as to make
it more profitable to dispose of them.
After the price goes below 20
cents the cockerels can be profitably
caponiZed and held for Thanksgiving
and Christmas trade. AT this time
birds of the American breeds should
weigh eight pounds. The meat of the
capon is superior to that of the male
bird or the hen.
1.-THE average loss in caponizing is
from 2 to per cent. This is usually
due to abnormalities of the birds. A
chick dying on the operating table is
perfectly good for table use.''

DYER'S RED TRAIL
Kansas Candidate Adopts Novel
Campaign Scheme.
Streamers on an Auto Burning
Through the West.

Smith Center July 13.-With regu-
lar circus streamers and burning a red
trail through western Kansas, Dan B.
Over of Smith Center will spend the
remainder of his campaign in an au-
tomobile trip through the Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh districts. Big red lettereo
pennants bearing vote for Dyer" ana
Dyer for State Auditor" inscriptions
will cover the Smith county mans car
and he expects to visit most OF the
counties in the western Secuon OF tne
state before the primaries.
Overs plan is novel in Kansas poll
tics Scores of candidates FOR o1ICe
have Travelled through the state IN au-
tomobiles. But usually the candidate
himself when he arrives in a town and
much time is lost in looking up &C
uuaintanceS and meeting the voters.
Dyer's campaign PLAN though, calls
for schedules. When he arrives IN
town, every man, woman and child
who reads knows the candidate Is on
the job and looking for votes
Maybe Dyer will get beyond the Dor
ders of the western counties in the
closing weeks of the campaign. In that
event he may fill some visiting dates
by rail. But in the main Dyer Will
stay with his big red steamer plan
Towns which the Smith county man
has visited have taken kindly to the
novel advertising scheme and Dyer
has found that he can meet the voters,
scatter literature and be on his way
to the next point in half the time re-
quired by the average campaign art
list. The big pennant covered car has
attracted attention both in towns and
in the rural districts, and Dyer's cam
paign is identified with his clever
advertising plan that has seemingly
left a real impression in the minds of
the voters.
People want to know about can
didate and they are tired of the old
card passing campaign system, said
Dyer. 81 want to win this office. To
do it 1 must cover as much territory
as possible, and 1 must leave an i'm

Dyer was elected a member of the
state irrigation board in 1914. After
the expense of a primary and election
campaign, his office was abolished by
the legislature. Now he seeks the
state authorship as recompense for
the office he won two years ago and
lost through an act of the legislature.
