Banners in Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 5.-When members of
the Hughes women campaign party,
which is touring the country on a spe-
cial train stepped off their train here
today they were unexpectedly con-
fronted by representatives of the
Working Womer's Independent Will
son league who having pushed them
selves in front Of the line unfurled
large banners directly across the path
of the Hughes campaigners. The ban
ners, lifted high above the heads of
the crowd bore inscriptions antagonis-
tic to the visitors candidate. One ban
ner said:

read:

the Republican PLATFORM
Wilson voted for suffrage, Hughes

moment, read the banners, smiled and
passed on to waiting automobiles. The
campaigners were greeted with cheers
as they were driven thru the streets to
hotel, where a luncheon was served
The women will remain in Chicago I'M

Montgomery county. The duties of
the inspector would be to inspect the
milk sold at Independence, CotfeyV1lle
and Cherryvale.
The idea is along the lines of the
community plan so popular in the east
in the last few years. If the state
board of health wins out in its fight
for a milk inspector in Montgomery
county and the plan prove a success,
like inspectors will be appointed in
other parts of the state, if local auth
critics can be induced to back the
proposition
The infant mortality of Montgomery
county has ranged recently from to
9 per cent, greatly in excess of other
counties.
In February, 1915, when the annual
test of milk was made by the state
board of health, for various cities in
the state it was discovered that 25 per
cent of the milk sold in the city linn
its of Independence was illegal or
unSanitary.

HE TOOK NO CHANGE
Police Character Drinks Whisky
When Police Aren't Looking.

Based upon tip to the effect that
a whole automobile load of liquor was
brought in from Kansas City Tuesday
night and left at the home of Laura
Parker on lower Quincy street, raid
was made on the place by the sheriffs
force today. Two market baskets full
of quart bottles of beer were found
in the basement and confiscated.
When the officers reached the place
they found the blinds down and the
house locked. Ike Kicker, a police
character, was in the back yard pol
ishing stoves. Mrs. Parker was gone
and he said all her relatives were wor-
ried about hel absence. The officers
know where she is.
A quart bottle containing perhaps
a ounce of whisky was found in Kick
ers coat pocket. He objected so
strenuously to having it removed that
he was allowed to keep it. But he
took no chances and the moment the
officers turned their backs he drained
the bottle.
1t was necessary to break paddock
off the cellar door to get into the base
ment where the beer was found. No
effort was made to enter the locked
doors of the house, altho the officers
had a search warrant.

SCHOOL FIGHT ON.
1t Has Reached the Supreme
Court of the State.
Rights of Germans to Separate
l. Schools Is Contested.

German Americans are arrayed
against numerous Kansas school
boards in the supreme court today in
the trial of case that is statewide
in it's Importance. A decision in
case, appealed by the county attorney
of Harvey county, will decide whether
Germans can take their children out
of school after attending the public
schools for part of Il school year and
place them in German schools 1t also
will decide whether school houses may
be used as German schools for certain
months of the year.
John viii, n German farmer living
in District No. ID, Harvey county, took
his child out of the public school be-
fore the school year was ended and
placed the child in a German school
At the request of the school board, L.

The importation of Canadian wheat
for seed purpose is being seriously
discussed and agricultural experts are
canVassing the question whether or
not the Canadian wheat will be found
adapted TO United States cultivation.

northwestern farmers are practically
all adhering to the decision not to sell
wheat at less than 81 a bushel while
the receipts of grain from other prl-
mary shipping points are extremely

not be blamed on speculation. They
said that were it not for open trading
