NOTHING LIKE 1T.

A local newspaper is absolutely
necessary to any community. 1t il
the home paper that keeps the peo-
pie OF the community in touch with
each other by giving them all the
news of their own neighLo- hood and
county. For that alone thy are OF
value and worth far more than the
small subscription price. They keep
the local pride and progressive spirit
around and on various ways are
worth far more to a communi y than
q community ever spends on them.
The daily paper, with it's large
news service and quicker facilities
may, in some instances overshadow
the weekly, but the weekly Home
paper fills a place in the hearts of
the people that a daily cannot fill.
1t comes to your home as an old
and tried friend while the daily

The question is raised as to VIII,
flour, amongst other foods, SHOULD
be advanced in price at this season
The assertion being made that thu
elevator and mill men bought up al
the wheat cheaply last Fall and are
now arbitrarily advancing the price
OF flour beyond the natural expense
q. carrying the wheat
We believe that a review of the
crop year may not bear out this as
sertion and perhaps a ''look-back'
may clear the minds of any who
might be under a misapprehension
If one recalls that during last Au-
gust and September ii was general y
believed that flour would be higher
and consumers did buy heavily at
that time. On the other hand, farm
ers expected wheat to advance and
they held Off selling. 1t is DOUBTLESS
tue therefore, that early PURCHASES
of wheat were used up in the early
Fall trade
AS early as the fore part of Nov
ember wheat was on basis a. $3.50
per hundred pounds and, since, then,
with the Eastern demand, has been
going out of the country or used up,
about as fast as purchased. Wheat
is now bringing over three dollars
per hundred pounds all thru the
West
1t is therefore reasonable to con-
clude that, considering all circun-
stances, the farmer has sold his
wheat TO good advantage this year,
and that the consumer has bought
the flour at no more than the ac-
tual advance in the cost al the
wheat.

RECIPES FOR KILLING FLIES

e he United States GoEeram Il
makes the following suggestion 10
: the destruction of house tlits: Fol
: maldehyde and sodium salicylate ar
8 the two best fly poisons. Both ar
superior to arsenic. They have thsf
. advantages for house hold use. The.
are not poison to children; tn E.,

tions are simple and they attrac

! Preparation of Solutions.
A formaldehyde solution o. approx

made by adding 3 teaspoonfuls of
the concentrated tornado h. de srlu-
ton. commercially known as formalin
to pint of water. Sim laIly, the
proper concentration of sodium sal
cylate may be oh aimed by dissolv-
ing teaspoon uls Of the pure chemi-
cal "a powder) to a pint of water.
Containers for Solutions.

venient for automatically keeping the

small plate, in which is placed a.
piece Of WHITE blotting paper cut
the size of the dish, is put bottom
up over the glass. The whole is then
quickly inverted, a match placed
under the edge of the glass, and
the container is ready for use. AS
the solution dries out of the saucer
the liquid seal at the edge OF the
glass is broken and more liquid !
flows into the lower receptacle. Thus
the paper is always kept moist.
other Simple Prevsntives.
Any odor pleasing to man is of EN-
sive to the fly and vice versa, and
will drive them away.
Take five cents worth o. oil of
lavender, mix it with the same guam
Iity of water, put it in a common
glass atomizer and spray it around
me rooms where flies are. In the
Inning room spray it layishly even
IN the table linen. The odor is very
lisagreeable to flies but refreshing
o most people.
Geranium, mignonette, heliotrope,

While the American people are cor
stantly being reminded of the necess
t, OF increasing the production o.
tood, the importance of economy and
the proper care OF food should not
be overlooked. There is no ques
ton but what the extreme high price
viii bring this about to certain
extent, but many housewives have
away many articles OF food from the
table which might have been util ze d
to good advantage. A lock into the
garbage can at the back door will
reveal many articles of waste that
cQqld haXe been sgoide dry Il :.d 4
cold potatoes, scraps OF meat and
many other articles of food that If
properly prepared often make 4
very palatable dish.
There is often a big waste in par
ing apples and potatoes. This may
seem a small item to men ion. but
We will venture to say that in many
instances, ten per cent waste has
been sustained in this manner. You
have often heard the remark, that a
woman could throw out OF the back
door faster with a spoon than man
could shovel in the front door with
scoop shovel. 1t is the small items
that count up in saving.
Besides extravaganza and waste,
there are millions of dollars lost in
articles OF food that spoil from care
less handling, and storing in the
home, potatoes freezing or rotting
in the cellar or pits, perishable food
spoiled by keeping in too warm a |
pAee, surplus beans, tomatoes and
other vegetable products in the
home garden allowed to spoil on
the vines. or rot on the ground. 1t
is equally essential to take care of
products as 1t is to produce them.
Every producer. or family, rich or
poor should take heed alike. for
money will not buy food if there

TOO MUCH PROFESSIONALISM.

In all western states probably NOR
school laws were passed than 10
any other one subject.
In Idaho nearly thirty new educa
tional measures We're put through
and the same will be found true o
Other states.
These laws do not originate wi
the people who pay the taxes and
buy school books and send their chill
dren to school.
In some of these states nearly
hal the total appropriations were
for what is termed higher education
and professions
The time is coming when the tax
limit will be reached and the o.
pie will rebel against too much pro-
fassional education.
There is no sound argument for
over-crowding the profess ons with
too many persons educated at public
expense.
The learned prose ssicns do not
become producers but most of them
must be provided wi h salaried-pQ
tions.
II that were all it might be en-
dured but investigation will show
that most of the new laws increas-
ing taxes originate there.
The state educational machines are
Husy creating positions, new de-
Dartments and institutions, and rails
ng salaries.
In place Of serving the people they
expand the functions and emoluments |
y the machine and increase taxa
ion
Western states need more produc-
RS and less professionals in
Iustrial education and less free
privileges.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 25.-The
Kansas City naval recruiting office is
making a strong effort 10 obtain 1872
men for the naval flying corps but to
date only seventy have been enlisted

Mechanicians are sought, men with
some experience as carpenters, wood
workers, machinists, coppersmiths,
blacksmiths, fabric workers, riggers.
acetylene welders, gas engine men
and instrument makers. These mem
bers of the flying corps will be en-

IN BIG CELEBRATION
Knights Templar of City Observe Birth
of Christ Today.

At IL o'clock this morning the
knights Templar of Topeka, COM
mandery No. 5. observed their usual
celebration of the birth of Christ The
custom dates back to the time when
the original chapter of the Knights
Templar was founded during the
Crusades at the temple of Jerusalem.
This year the celebration was truly an
occasion for Thanksgiving. for in this
year for the first time since the days
of the great Mohammedan chieftain,
Saladin, the city of Jerusalem and the
temple there are in the hands of a
Christian conqueror. And from the
shadows and events of the past century
it is safe to say that where the Eng
lish lion sets his armored paw there
will the hosts of Christendom be found
for generations to come.
The first Temple Knights were Eng
lish crusaders battling with the
heather for the glory of Christ. and
finally some six centuries after the
first English warrior set foot on the
holy ground of Jerusalem the halls of
the great temple this morning echoed
once again to the armed tread of a
Christian conquering host. The
Knights Templar surely had true
cause for a celebration on this Christ
mas of all ChristmaSes.

.FURLOUGH TO RECRUITS
But Pay for New Jackies Begins With

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 25-An men
being enlisted at the naval recruiting
office here are being given indefinite
furloughs of from three to six weeks.
They are sent to their homes in the
district at government expense and
when called into active service are
given transportation to their training
stations, and on arrival there receive
pay from the date of enlistment
THE furloughs are due primarily
to the crowded conditions at the naval
training stations" said Lieut.. Ralph B.
Campbell, aid to Commodore J. NJ
Orchard, in charge of the station
Then, too, we consider it almost a
necessity for the men to go home to
say goodbye to their folks. They feel
much better about it when they leave
for active service from their homes
than when they leave from a recruit
ing office where no one seems to care
much about the sacrifice they are
making

NEW OIL WELLS HERE
Two Hundred Holes VIII Be Drilled in
Franklin and Miami Counties,

New. York, Dec. 25.-The Black
Diamond Oil company, which now
controls over 1000 acres of oil lands
in various states, announced today
that they have just signed contracts
for the output of 200 wells in Frank
lin and Miami counties, Kansas 1t is

duce 200, 100000 cubic feet of wet"
gas day. The company is now build
ing a refinery to handle 100000. 900
cubic feet of gas a day, and by the
Mettler process, they will manufacture

feet of wet gas in this district. The
refinery is being built in five sections
and will be in operation on January il.
By April 1, the company expects to
have a sufficient plant to handle the
entire output, 2OO,00O.OOO cubic feet,
of gas a day.
In the McAlester, Okla, field, the
