DIG IN OLD CRAVE.
Railroad Gang Finds Monu-
ment of Early Kansan.
Was Slain by Indians-A. & N.
to- Preserve Spot.

Pratt, Kan. Jan. 1.-THE grading
gang on the Anthony & Northern
railway were digging near the edge of
the right of way when they struck a
rock They unearthed the rock and
found that it was a small tombstone.
Upon its face was inscribed the name
and the date of the death of one or
the earliest roamers of Kansas.
The name was badly blurred, but
the date read as follows: KILLED IN
1912 by and then came an arrow
head. signifying that the Indians had
committed the deed The workmen
say that the monument was of red
sandstone, such as can be found near
where the burial took place. The rock
was about eighteen inches below the
surface of the soil. showing the chang
ing conditions of the surface soil since
that time.
The find was reported to President
Byers. who ordered that the stone be
preserved and that the spot be
marked. A large stone will be shipped
to Ealy, near where the find was
made, and the same inscription placed
the smaller one. In the meantime the
name of the unfortunate man will be
deciphered. The grave will also be
protected by a fence and President
Byers will always preserve the spot as
a historical one.
The large stone to be placed at the
head of the pioneers grave will mark
the spot in picturesque way. 1t will
face the track so that all passengers
can view the ground where the In
dams held their massacre.

revision of oil inspection enactments
by the 1913 legislature, inspectors
have drawn salaries of $1,000 year
The new law will probably increase
the salaries SO per cent. allowing each
inspector $1,000 a year and expenses.
The state inspectors salary will prob
ably be increased from. 800 to $4,000
or $500 a year.
1t is urged by friends of the bill that
since the courts will not permit suf-
ficient inspection fee to warrant a
revenue to the state, that the money
might as we'll go to inspection pur-
poses. 1t is pointed out that follow
ing the decision of the supreme court
in the oil inspection case that the price
of crude oil slumped thirty cents a
barrel in few weeks and the price of
gasoline advancedsthree cents a gallon.
Maybe this has something to do with
the matter. Maybe it doesn't. But
the important provision is that the
state does not at this time see its way
clear to inspect the oil and gasoline
with six inspectors. Development of
the Kansas field and building of new
refineries is the cause for the increase,
it is asserted.
Then the high cost of living is to
be considered. Where deputy in
spectors formerly laid away a compe-
tence from their 500 a month pay
checks, they are now confronted with
overdrafts. Hence the necessity of
increasing salaries fifty per cent. The
increase, tho, applies only to the oil
inspection department. Reports in
state house circles today were to the
effect that the new inspection bill will
go to the legislature in few days. 1t
is to be offered as an administration

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully.
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use.
II One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroly. Simply
smoisten the hair with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily
removing every particle of dust, dirt
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap. and
few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for inonths.-Adver-
tisement.

RETAIL BOOK DEALERS
Permanent Kansas Organization Is
Formed in Topeka.

The retail book dealers of Kansas
formed permanent organization
Wednesday in Topeka, with 100 of the
dealers as charter members. The or
ganization is known as the Kansas
Book Dealers association. Edward
Dorsey of Ottawa was elected presi-
dent; Mason McCarty of Emporia, vice
president; o. Scott Morgan of Bald
win. secretary-tresaurer. Governor
Capper was one of the speakers at the
meeting.
The association decided, immediate
ly after organization, that it would
support the plan of the Kansas text
book commission on the distribution
of text books. and that it would af-
filiate with other similar organiza-
tons.
A campaign is to be inaugurated to
secure a larger membership for the
association There are approximately
500 dealers in the state, and all will
be invited to join the new organiza-
uon.
i A preliminary meeting was held by
a number of book dealers in Ottawa
early in December. when plans were
made for the present meeting Wednes-
day. A convention will be held on the
second Monday in January of 1918, at
either Wichita or Hutchinson.

Is quite probable that the legislature
will create more jobs than it Will aooI-
ish. With the governors message Just

today, which is to go to the legislature
as an administration measure Inc
bill will triple the number OF state OIL
inspectors and increase salaries 80 per

, With the old oil inspection fee an
1ulled under a decision of the supreme
court, state officials will this winter
Seek to provide for more jobs and tat
ter salaries, since the court has held
that the inspection fee cannot be made
a revenue measure. The money which
went into the state treasury before the
supreme court decision, will now be
diverted to other channels. 1t will go
into the pockets of faithful patriots
with much party loyalty and an unde-
veloped desire for heavy work.
The new oil inspection bill will make
many changes in the old law and will
be most comprehensive in defining the
authority of inspectors and rights of
oil companies. Among the provisions
in the new bill will be compulsory
gravity statements by gasoline mer-
chants. The new bill will compel ev-

Bill in House Giving Kansas
Towns the Rights.
Manufacture and Sell Product
as Water, Electricity.
PROFITS HAVE BEEN LARGE
Most Manufacturing Plants
Have Made Money.
Bill Proposes to Reduce Con-
tract Rate of Interest.

Owners of ice plants in Kansas
towns should come to Topeka to adj
just their affairs with the state legis-
lature. A bill in the house by T. c.
Wilson of Pawnee county provides that
Kansas towns may manufacture and
sell ice just as they manufacture and
sell electricity or water.
Then that the gloom of the day
might not rest too heavily on the poor
downtrodden ice makers. Wilson di-
rected to the reading desk a little bill
that will give Kansas bankers apo
plexy. Wilson proposes to reduce the
contract rate of interest from 10 per
cent to per cent
Manufacture and sale of ice is well
within the province of all cities and
towns in the state, according to the
Pawnee county representative. He ar.
CUES that since ice is a by-product of
water the manufacture and sale of
ice is just as much within the power
and rights of cities as sale of water.
To make the matter perfectly legal,
Wilson wants the legislature to pass
a law directly and specifically setting
forth the cities rights. Then. there
shall be no confusion as to the con-
stitution, the general statutes or the
intent and spirit of the legislature.
Have Made Big Profits.
Ice manufacturers have been max
ing large profits. In a number of To-
calities in the state, the plants have
been unable to supply demands. AS a
result the prices have in many local
tiles been exorbitant. Now Wilson pro-
poses that the ice makers shall pay the
fiddler for the long profits extracted
during the hot summer months.
Looking further into the affairs of
state, Wilson is convinced the banks
have placed the contract rate of inter-
est d trifle too high. The present con-
tract rate is ten per cent and the bank
ers are happy. By the latter part of
the week, tho, number of prominent
bankers may find a sudden need of
visiting the state house to renew the
acquaintance of old time friends In
efdentally, Mr.. Wilson's bill will re-
ceive a baptism of fire-trom the
bankers.
The present contract rate of ten
per cent is exorbitant,' Wilson declar-
ed today in discussing his bill Il be-
fieve that eight per cent is sufficient"
But the bankers do not see the mat
ter in the same light. And with his
fight with the bankers and a row with
the ice makers, Mr.. Wilson's first term
in the Kansas legislature will at least
be active and interesting.
