POLL TAX COLLECTOR
WATSON Designated To
Do New Work in Topeka

Commissioner w. H. WATSON today
was designated by the city commits
sioners as the proper city official to
collect poll taxes from all male resi-
dents of Topeka between the ages of
81 and so years of age. At the same
time the commissioners gave Com
missioner WATSON power to employ
any help necessary to carry out the
work.
Notices must be received by all resi-
dents not later than August 1. law
enacted by the last legislature made
provision that poll tax should be col
lected from all residents of all cities
of the first class in Kansas, except
ing Kansas City, Kan. The poll tax
is So in cash, or two days work on
roads designated by the city at $3.50
a day, or one days work with team
valued by the state at So a day.
'I'Il begin work at once" said Com
missioner WATSON today. The only
method of ascertaining the residents
between those ages is from the regis
tration book in the city clerks office"

North Side NeWs

The people living in Garfield Place
are raising fine looking potatoes
Stanley Medlicott has seventeen acres
in potatoes, from which he expects to
get 100 bushels to the acre. The po-
tatoes are uniformly large, and each
hill yields from ten to a dozen.
Thru the Kaw valley the yield will
be about three-fourths of a crop, it is
estimated. The potatoes won't grow
any more, experts assert, and the
raisers will have to sell them, because
they won't keep. The drouth threat
ened to reduce the crop by half, but
the opportune rain brought it up al
most to the normal yield.
The dry weather is spelling the crop
of beans in the gardens north of
town, and according to present indi-
cations, there will be scarcely any
for canning. The Kaw Valley Canning
company has been unable to begin
operations from the shortage in beans,
tho a good rain, it is said, would
greatly help the crop.
The funeral of Moses Danley, of 80

SUSPECT ALIEN PLOTS
Three Bombs Damage Cleveland
Plants Working on War Contracts.

Cleveland, O., July 19.-Investiga-
tons were under way today in an at
tempt to ascertain whether three
dynamite explosions coming rapidly
last night resulted from labor trou-
BILE only or were the work of agents
of the German government.
The explosions came at 9:45, $50
and at 10 o'clock. Comparatively lit
tie damage was done.
The first damaged the Lincoln Fire
proof Storage company building; the
second damaged the Forest City
Foundry & Manufacturing company.
This concern is working on important
government contracts, and the third
broke three hundred windows in and
about the Taylor & Boggis company,
which is handling government con-
tracts.
Altho these plants have had labor
troubles, alien plots are suspected.

Whadaya think, girls, group of
Kartsas City women are wearing
kniqkers instead of skirts for golf cos
tunes Three of the women at the
EIillcrest Country club have already
adopted the new style of golf outfit,
and twenty more have promised to do
so, and are getting the outfits made
by their tailors. The clothes are palm
beach stuff. Thus these perfectly con-
venient garments that have been con-
sidered the exclusive property of the
men golfers have been Communicated
by lovely woman. Those who are
wearing them find that they give
much more freedom of action and be-
sides, they are cooler. The idea seems
to be a new one, tho women in the
east have sometimes played in riding
habit.
I have it from a woman who has
just been in Kansas City and saw the
costumes, which she thinks just the
thing. Maybe it won't be long until
