Handsome and blushing young
clergymen have always been regarded
as eligibles by matchmaking NAM
mas from the days OF Jane Austen
until now. That is why speculation
has been rife about two brothers, both
young clergymen of our own city and
many are the possible brides that
thost interested have assigned them.
Some OF our contemporaries among
the public prints even went so far as
to mention them publicly. Now.
however, one-half of the speculation
has been brought to sudden termina-
ton by the marriage OF one of the
young men,

SPRING in FASHION i'm A FOOD APPEAL
Resolutions and PrOclamatiOns
Popular in Kansas Now.
State Prepares for Any Eventu-
atty Account War.

Resolutions, proclamations and ap-
peals to the people of the state have
been issued recently in an effort to
increase and conserve the food supply
of Kansas. State officials are doing
all in their power to put Kansas in a
state of preparedness for any event
uality that may come out of the dec
laration of a state of war between the
United States and Germany.
Governor Capper has appealed to
all citizens on the ground of patriotic
duty to increase the production of
foodstuffs. A plan to organize all the
boys in the state under military age
for the production of crops has been
suggested by ]. C. Mohler, secretary
of the state board of agriculture; l..
A. Congdon, state hotel commissioner,
has urged the restaurants and hotels
to eliminate waste and be economical
in their kitchens; and L. T. Hussey,
state fire marshal, has sounded a
warning against fire, which he de-
clared to be a menace to food crops
that must be looked after.
In addition to the efforts of state
officials, city administrations in many
parts of the state have worked out
home gardening campaigns and have
done much to foster an increased in
dustry in raising crops. All possible
is being done to mobilize the citizens
into an army of crop raisers.

IN LONE BOYCOTT
One Man in Topeka VIII Not
Eat Potatoes Now.
And He Does Not Have to Fay
for Them, Either.

One man in Topeka has refused 10
permit the city to buy him any pota-
toes, altho the city is feeding him ard
his family while the head of the fam
lily has the smallpox. This lone boy
cotter admits he enjoys eating pota-
toes about as well as anyone. But
" hen he was quarantined for small
pox by DIR. H. L. Clark, city health
officer, he announced that the city
could send his family anything to eat,
excepting potatoes.
Potatoes have gone so high In price
that poor people can't afford to buy
them any more" he told DR.. Clark.
IF everyone would stop eating pota-
toes until the price dropped to some
thing in reason, the price would drop
in a hurry. L wish everybody would
quit eating them. Let-the men who
are holding potatoes for such out
rageous prices keep them. I'd like
to see their potatoes ret on their
hands Don't send me any potatoes.
Il know, jhst because my family
boycotts potatoes won't make the price
come down. But if every family
would do the same thing you would
sec a lot of these fellows trying aw-
fully hard to sell their potatoes"
Some quarantined families who have
to be fed by the city ask for all the
delicacies of the season. Consequent
ly, DR.. Clark was quite surprised by
the request to send no potatoes. The
family took, instead, corn meal, oat-
meal, rice and parsnips, the latter sell
ing for about half the price of pota-
toes

NEED WOMAN'S HELP
Edward III. Parkinson of Washington
Comments on Suffrage Rights.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
We recently read the following in
teresting lines in your editorial for the
27th ult: Three states, Ohio, In
diana and Arkansas, recently granted
to women the right to vote for presi-
dent. If the use of their franchise in
this limited way proves satisfactory
perhaps later they will be permitted
seer" The irony in that statement is
well directed and ought not to be
without good returns. The fact is
equal suffrage is becoming less and
less an experiment for there has been
trial enough to prove its helpfulness.
The nation ought now to be eager to
obtain the advantage following the
grant of justice to women and such IA
grant ought not to be regarded in any
other light than the free exercise of a
right long withheld. The great crisis
now upon this country proves con-
c1usively mans need of woman's
help at the ballot box. The right ad-
justment of international affairs waits
upon the dealing out of justice to all
irrespective of sex, race or conditions
And it is interesting to note the part
equal suffrage is acting in the political
revolutions of Europe. Woman there
is simply coming into her own and
we are ready to aver that such a re-
form will have a good following OF
other momentous measures. 1t only
remains that every announcement be
offered for it's advancement Yours

INJURY IS LIMITED
Florida Fruit Conditions Not So Bad
as Pictured, Says Booster.

When George Stansfield returned
from a trip to Florida a few weeks
ago he was quoted in an interview as
saying that orange and lemon trees
in Florida had been killed by cola
weather, which also damaged grow
ing vegetables. The State journal,
containing the interview, reached L. A.
Biggers, managing secretary of the
West Plains Beach Board of Trade.
Mr.. Biggers has written : protest,
which follows:
To the Editor of the State Journal:
Relative to news item appearing
IN your paper of March 16, George
Stansfield Back we beg to advise that
the statement about orange and lemon
trees in Florida being killed is erron-
eous,, and we desire to protest against
this statement applying to the entire
state. The northern and central por-
tons of the state were severely in
iured in the recent cold period, but the
orange grove in Palm Beach county
and the lower east coast were not in
jured at all and we have an abundance
of fruit in our groves. Frost affected
the fruit and vegetables in the north
western part, but we are shipping
vegetables in carload lots every day
from all stations along the lower east
coast If you do not believe this
statement, have one of your grocery
men write to any packer in Delray
Boynton. Deerfield, Pompano or other
communities asking about conditions
or to send him some produce.
I'VE feel that your article does us
an injustice and that you are willing
to correct this injustice if you have
the facts. We do not doubt Mr..
Stansfield's statements, but feel that
they should not apply to all sections of
the state when all sections are not
affected as he indicates"

Washington, April 1.-THE ire

navy is beginning to show results.
During the first twelve days of April
a net gain of 4,S71 men for the regu-
lar service was recorded.
The total enlisted strength now is
approaching the 10000 mark. Presi-

recruitment to $1,000, the maximum
allowed by law, and pending legisla-

$4,000. including the coast defense
reserve, the only present volunteer
element.
When the $1,000 figure has been
reached it is possible that subsequent
enlistments will be permitted for the
duration of the war;
