SIXTH FOR C. 0. P.
Northwestern Counties Lining

Voters Intend to Go Right on

BIG CROWDS HEARING CAPPER
Plenty of Enthusiasm in Sup

Party Organization and a Lean

Hill City, Kan, Oct. 12.-Southern
Sixth district counties are lining up
for the Republican ticket this year.
Thru the southern tier of northwest
district counties the Republican senti-
ment indicates that the voters intend
to go right on down the line. Party

ham-even Democratic Ellis county
are giving out bullish reports for
the Republican ticket in the Novem-
Der elections.
Two years ago the Sixth district
counties scattered: Twenty-one of the
! twenty-five counties in the district
gave pluralities for Congressman John
| R. Connolly, Democrat. Russell was
the one Sixth district county which
kicked in with plurality for John
B. Dykes, Republican nominee. This
year, tho, the sentiment is changing
at least in counties which Governor
Capper has visited on his Sixth dis
trict invasion.
! Superior party organizations and a
general leaning toward Hughes seems
to be responsible for the condition. All
thru the counties in the Sixth district,
crowds have been record breakers.
With it all has been an evidence of
! interest in issues which indicates
something more than passing con-
Germ or curiosity to hear a governor.

BIC Event, WAIT!
Trading Opportunities for Out
of Town Shoppers.
Extensive Displays, Price Re-
auctions and Travel Rebates.

The three suburban shopping days
planned by the merchants of Topeka
for next Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, October IS, 10 and 20 promises
to be the greatest event ever gotten
up in Topeka in the interest of out
of-town shoppers.
The cooperation between the mer-
chants is better than it has ever been.
1t is a determined effort on the part
of both large and small dealers in all
lines to demonstrate more convincing
ly than ever that Topeka is a trading
point worth while to those who live
within a radius of $50 miles as well
as those who reside within it's corpo-
rate limits.
On these days competition between
the stores will be very keen-values
of the unusual sort will be found in
nearly all the stores. Then again, the
new styles in mems and women's wear,
in furniture and other home furnish
ings will be on display. There could
be no better time for out-of-town
shoppers to visit Topeka
For these three days only the cost
of ones coming to Topeka by train,
automobile or other vehicle will be re-
funded on cooperative basis by
many of the merchants, thru the Com
mercial club. This refunding of trans
portation cost to be computed accord
ing to purchases, but in no case is il
to exceed 5 per cent

TOURING 9TH DISTRICT
Connolly Expects Success of Demo.
cratic Party in Coming Election.

Cove, Kan, Oct. 12.-Congressman
John r. Connolly and State Senator
James Malone are touring the Sixth
district and the Thirty-ninth sena-
torial district in the interest of their
reelection They have met with en-
thusiastic receptions and good audi
ences where they have held meetings.
The two candidates visited Cove
county and spoke to good crowds in
Grinnell, Quinter and Cove City. The
Grinnen meeting was early in the
morning and the hall was well filled
with crowd that gave the closest at
tention. The high school was dis
missed so the pupils could hear the
speakers.
At Quinter more than 400 persons
gathered to hear them. The band
played and accompanied Connolly and
Malone to Cove where they addressed
a rousing night meeting. More than a
thousand people in this county heard
them and the two candidates are salts
fled with the outlook here.
Senator Malone was elected in 1912
on a platform of I'm for western
Kansas" He is running this year on
the same platform. His home is in
Rawlins county and he operates a
flour mill in Herndon.
Congressman Connolly was late in
returning to his Kansas home in Colby.
He stayed on duty until the adjourn
ment of congress. Connolly will visit
every county in his district before the
election. He is well pleased with the
outlook for his reelection and for the
success of the Democratic party.

MEET IN WASHINGTON
Strong Announces Program of State
UniyersitX Annual Convention.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. 12-Discus-
sions of a revolutionary nature are
promised at the time of the meeting
OF the National Association of State
Universities at Washington, D. c., on
November 13 and a. The program
for the meeting was announced by
Chancellor Frank Strong of the Uni
versity of Kansas, who is president of
the association.
How many hours a week should be
required of teachers in universities?
Is it advisable to demand a detailed
account? Has university extension
work justified itself? Should moral
as well as scholastic standards be re-
CURED of graduation?
These are few of the questions
which chancellors of the state univer-
sites will attempt to answer in their
discussions
Among the other subjects which
Chancellor Strong has placed on the
program concern influences of outside
nature on university life, supervision
of younger teachers at universities,
| how to determine fitness for advance
ment of instructors salaries, intercol-
iegiate athletics, fraternities, and the
question whether the quality of schol-
arship should figure in reducing the
number of hours credit required for
an A. B. degree. This last point will
be discussed by DIR. A. Ross Hill of
the University of Missouri.
The membership Of the National
Association of State Universities in
cludes one hundred of the country's
leading educators.

Strengthening out of former Repub-
lican difficulties in the district is an
apparent general tendency to bury the
Ratchet and forget old scores.
This tendency was much in evidence
when Governor Capper visited Mitchell
county. In that county Max Ander-
son of Beloit, is out working for Otis
L. Benton for congress In the re-
cent primaries Benton defeated An
derson for the congressional nominal
ton But Anderson was not jolted so
far as his party loyalty was concerned.
He took off his coat and went to work
for the man who defeated him in one
of the most bitter political campaigns
the district has seen in years.
Out in Sherman county Mrs. Eva
Morley Murphy, Progressive candidate
for congress in 1914, is supporting
Benton. Nearly all of the Progressives
seems to point to stronger party or
ganization than in any fight in recent
camps ignS.
Using paper arithmetic, based on an
analysis of the vote of two years ago,
Benton has the fight of his life. But
looking at the situation as it actually
exists today, the Oberlin man is COM
ing strong. If you use paper arith-
metic in figuring results, Benton must
hold the Dykes votes and "a per cent
of the Murphy vote of 1914. If you
look at things as they now seem, Ben
ton should do better than that. He
will add to the vote strong Repub-
lican following which deserted Dykes
in the last election and voted for Con-
nelly.
Here is an example In Osborne
county Dykes polled 1883 votes to l.
$50 for Connolly and 457 for Mrs.
Murphy. This year Republicans claim
Osborne for Benton by 500 to 500. One
enthusiast put it as high as 1900 to
1900. With ample allowance for en-
ISi1 I1a o-ts Of he
lasts, Benton should seemingly carry
the county by 400 to 500 Then
Mitchell county which gave Connolly
nearly 500 plurality. is swinging in
line. Even Democratic Ellis county is
promising a big break in the German
vote for Hughes and a few enthusiasts
have offered to bet real money that
Benton comes out of Ellis with a ma
jority.
Rocks county gave Connolly a small
county leaders claim the county by a
solid majority for the entire ticket.
Lincoln and Ellsworth counties also
promise to get in line and Graham
county is in excellent condition on the
face of conditions as found in a hasty
trip thru the county.
Simpson, Glen Elder and Cawker
City, all in Mitchell county, turned out
big crowds to hear the governor. In
Glen Elder, a crowd equal to twice
the capacity of the big, roomy town
hall, wanted to hear the state execu-
tive. Cawker City tied up traffic on
the main street while the governor
talked.
Chairman Lockridge and the Os-
borne county leaders gave Governor
Capper two tremendous night meet
ings. Twenty cars escorted the gov
ernor from Cawker City to Downs,
where the governor spoke to a crowd
that could not find standing room in
the local theater and delayed their
supper hour to hear Republican Cos
pei. Osborne had rented a picture

house for the meeting. Thirty min
utes before the governor arrived the
hall was packed. So arrangements
were made for meeting in the local
theater, which was too small for the
crowd A stock company delayed It's
performance an hour while the gov
ernor talked state and national poll
tics.
In Stockton, the crowd could not
be accommodated in the town hall
altho Governor Capper talked to a
crowd of 500. Another big Rocks
county meeting was held shortly be-
fore the noon hour when Governor
Capper spoke in Plainville. Schools
were dismissed for both meetings
The flivver business is prosperous in
the Sixth district. One Osborne deal
err has jurisdiction over four town
ships. He was the only unhappy man
in Osborne. He stood in front of the
local opera house and complained bit
terly because he could not fill an order
for eighty cars.

REBUILT OLD LANDMARK.
Koerchner Barn Made of Lumber
From Famous Dodge City Rink.

Wright, Kan, Oct. 12.-The NAM
moth Koerchner barn, three miles
southeast of Wright. built of timber
from the famous old Dodge City skat-
ing rink, was dedicated with a box
supper and dance which was attended
by a large crowd. The proceeds of the
boxes. more than 5000. will go to pur-
chase a piano for the Wright school
After the sale. the evening was given
over to old-gashioned dancing.
The old skating rink which NJ
Koerchner purchased and moved to
his farm a few months ago, was the
scene of many stirring happenings in
the old days, having been used for
every imaginable purpose for more
than thirty years, and before the barn
was finished, he had invited the whole
countryside to attend the celebration
of the reconstructed landmark.

No toilet table is complete without
a small package of delatone. for with
it hair or fuzz can be quickly banished
from the skin. To remove hairs you
merely mix into a paste enough of the
powder and water to cover the objec-

the skin about minutes, then rubbed
off and the skin washed, when it viii

ESCAPE FROM NORTON JAIL.

Norton, Kan, Oct. 12.-When Sher-
iff Payton brought breakfast to the
four suspects in the county Jail he
found the cage empty. George Cres-
Ter and Frank Mack, who were await
ing trial for the robbery of the Bank
of Clayton; Tex Kelly, charged with
the attempt to murder R. E. Williams,
and j. L. Kennedy, who was charged
with grand larceny, had escaped dur
ing the night and failed to leave an
address.
The job has all the appearance of
having been managed from the out
side. BY cutting thru the screen door
it was easy to saw thru the paddock
to the outer door and gain entrance
to the corridor. It would appear that
the rivets in the transom were cut
from the inside, as the prisoners could
have stood upon a chair and reached
them, which would have been difficult
to do from the corridor

Begin at Two to Keep

her siXteen-year- old daughter dressed
with becoming modesty her own rec
ord has been fourteen years faulty.
She should have started her campaign
of dress reform when the daughter at
tanned the age of two years.
This was the note of the State Con-
vention of the Illinois Congress of
Mothers and Parent Teachers Asso-
c:ation here. 1t was struck by Mrs.
r. f. Langworthy, of River Forest,
president of the organization. Mrs.
Laneworthy who said she had never
seen an immodest girl, but had seen
thousands immodestly dressed, placed
all the blame on the mothers.

I only that Frances is much more so
/ than / am"
We'll, perhaps, but nevertheless. I'm
glad you are going to marry Jack. l
think he needs someone to take care
of him."
Anne was silent a moment, and look
ed at Helen out of her big eyes for a
/ few moments without speaking. Then
she said suddenly:
Helen, are you very conventionalF'
Helen was surprised, but not for a
moment would she have dreamed of
allowing Anne to suspect such a thing,
particularly when she saw that Anne
was perfectly serious.
We'll, dear most people think I am.
/ but have a suspicion that 1 really am
not at all"
'.I wanted to ask your advice about
something, and I wondered IL you
would understand"
Try me and see"
Well. Jack and l have been work.
ing at his place of late. We are do
ing some work together, and I have
been there at night sometimes"
"Well?" said Helen eXpectantly.
Nothing, only we just work and
never think OF it as being unconven-
tional. Jack is such a dear that way"
You mean that you want my ad-
vice."
The World Is Always Here
Anne hesitated, Well yes, in way"
she said finally. Il really wanted to
see Just how YOU felt about it,"
II really think that for you and
Jack it's all right" said Helen de-
cidedly. but 1t is not the thing to
do as far as the speech of people
goes"
But I don't care what people say
as long as l really know
81 know you don't, Anne. but we
are living in a world where the speech
of people has a great deal to do with
our lives and ourselves. l know that
you are doing this unconventional thing
innocently and without thinking of
what people Will say. But II just can't
be reckoned that way in New York
city. We are judged by what we seem
to do rather than by what we do. It's
hard, dear, but we really must be care
full"
You mean that you really think
am doing wrong?
Again Helen hesitated. She person
ally did not think il at all wrong for
Anne and Jack to work together but
she hardly knew just what to advise
the girl.
Does your mother know that you
do it?" she said finally. You see dear,
q long as you have asked me about ii,
want to tell you what l really think
Just say yes or no." said Anne a
little willfully.
AL right. Personally, 1 don't think
that for you and Jack it is a bit out of
the way. But in case an outsider
should find out about it and make un-
kind comments, I shall say that l
don't think you ought to do It,"
That's what my mother said" Anne
confessed frankly. And I suppose you
are both right. But l don't see that
when / haven't a wrong thought in my
heart and Jack hasn't either, why I
should not go ahead and do as I think
want to do. It's a hard world IL
every one is to be judged by the same
standards of right and wrong"
And Helen silently agreed with her.
(Another incident of this fascinating
series will appear here soon.)

Girl Long a Prisoner
Is Recovering Mind

Elkton, Md. - Miss Grace Marshall
the Talbot county girl, VINO was kept
a prisoner in her room for years, be-
cause she became infatuated with a
young man, and who was later taken
to the Phipps Clinic of Johns Hop
kins Hospital, Baltimore. for treat
ment. has given some faint signs of
mental improvement. The change
from her former mental blank is very
slight, doctors say, but it is enough
to indicate that the treatment is
stimulating her mind. She can now
say a few words, and seems to have
a few coherent thoughts that she tries
to express.
From a condition of emaciation
she has now become almost normal
physically. She has gained about
thirty pounds in weight and eats and
sleeps regularly. 1t is believed that
years of treatment will be necessary
to restore her mind. Her father and
stepmother, who were arrested for ILL
treating the child, will be tried this
month at Easton.
