The usual divorce petition story OF

Monday afternoon in the petition for
divorce filed in the district court by
Walter E. King against Catherine L.
King. The couple was married only
short time ago, November 10, 1916,
to be exact.
Among other things King chargeh
his wife with having an uncontrolla BILE
temper. She urged and abused him.
the petition states, and King sets
forth more reasons why he should be

despite the fact he gave her his entire
salary every month to spend on her
self. She also refused to keep house
and insisted on living at a rooming
and boarding house. the defendant

Neither is that all. She ran to shows
day and night, the defendant says, and
sometimes stayed out as late as IL
o'clock. once when she wanted to go
somewhere and he didn't she pulled
his hat from his head and went alone,
taking the headgear along with her. so
says the petition. which winds up by
charging abandonment on the part of
the defendant.

Judge c L. Foley in Washington on
L. c. c Business This Week.

Judge C. f. Foley of the Kansas
public utilities commission is today
attending a hearing before the inter
state commerce commission in Wash
ington concerning car lot rates on ce-
ment in Kansas. The cement rate
troubles have been before the state
and interstate commissions for sew
eral months and today's hearing may
establish a new rating for hauls from
Kansas points.
Commissioners from Illinois, Wis
consin, Minnesota. Iowa, Missouri, Ne
braska, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Kansas are in attendance or rep
resented at the hearing. 1t is prob
able the case will be before the fed
eral commission several days and may
be extended into next week.
There have already been two hear
ings on cement rate cases in an effort
to definitely settle on a fixed rate
Both of these were held at Chicago,
one on May 25 of last year and the
other September is. Nothing was
done which brought the matter direct
ly to head and conditions were al
lowed to lag until the present con-
ference at Washington was called.
Certain cement companies of vari-
Gus states had their statisticians fix
what they thought would be a fair
rate. The interstate commerce COM
mission statistician also made out
what he believed to be a rate Just to
the railroads and cement companies
Such wide discrepancies existed be-

FAITH IN WELL
Gasoline Found i'm Lincoln

Five chemical analyses taken of the
gasoline found in the well owned by
Topeka men near Lincoln, Kansas,

nouncement made today by Charles
Gau1t. in whose name $500 acres of
Lincoln county oil land is leased. In
reality, equal shares in the oil, or
rather gasoline leases, are held by c.
s. Elliott, John Abrahams, Ed Arnold,
son & Beck. and c. B. Merriam.
Today, Mr.. Gault, Mr.. Elliott and
three men holding about as many
leases in Lincoln county as the Topeka
men met at the Chamber of Commerce
TO discuss plans for financing eX-
haustive drilling for gasoline in that
vicinity. The plans are yet in their
infancy and will not be made known
at present.
The money and the faith in the
gasoline possibilities in the county are
ready and the formation of a COM
pany for exhaustive drilling is immi-
nent, according to Mr.. Gault, L. Her
ron, w. T. NimmonS and L. W. Grubbs,
all of Lincoln county, are the three
lease holders comforting today with
the Topeka men holding leases in the
same neighborhood.
Gasoline wells are a rarity, not only
in this section but in the world. When
announcement was first made to Gault
that gasoline had been found in a well
on land leased for oil prospecting he
was skeptical and prone to believe the
well had been 'doctored" for specu-
lative purposes A number of alleged
gasoline wells have proven to be fakes
perpetrated for speculative purposes.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to judge of woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one OF the few
who try to make the most of your
hair, remember that it is not advisable
to wash the hair with any cleaner
made for all purposes, but always use
some good preparation made express
ly for shampooing. You can enjoy the
very best by getting some canthrox
from your druggist, dissolve a tea
spoonful in n cup of hct water. This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is easy to apply it to all
the hair instead of just the top of
the head Dandruff. excess oil. and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. Your hair will be so fluffy
that it will look much heavier than it
is. Its lustre and softness will also
delight you. while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair

Today the central west is engaged

One Test of Christianity.

I have observed this, that the most
corrupt people, the coolest rational
lists. the atheists and agnostics, always
elect to live in Christian communities.
Our shortcomings and hypocrisies do
not produce these unfortunate and
deformed spirits. but they seek the
light of our illusions. the foolishness
of our faith, as an antidote for their
own darkened wisdom. Nobody ever
heard of a community composed only
of these elements holding together,
because such people cannot bear one
another, not for half the life length
of one little village church.-From A
