MAY NOT ADVERTISE
City Commissioners Fear Law Prohib-
its Publishing Accomplishments.

Legal obstacles may prevent the
plan of the city commissioners of To-
peka advertising the achievements and
work of their departments during the
past year.
IF we don't print those advertise
ments, it will be because we struck
legal Snag, and not on account of any
contumacious remarks which have
been made about the commission,
said Mayor House this morning. The
city attorney has been instructed to
investigate the possibility of putting
the advertisements into the newspa-
perS.
At a recent meeting of the legisla-
tive committee of the League of Kan
Sas Municipalities. of which Commits
sioner w. L. Porter is a member let
ter was received from commissioner
of Wichita, asking the committee to
work for laws permitting cities of
the first. second and third classes to
appropriate money for such advertise
ments. At that meeting the mayor of
Kansas City, Kan, insisted that under
the present laws the paying for adver-
tisements would be illegal AS the
Topeka commissioners had Just an
nounced their advertising campaign,
they took the matter to heart. Be-
cause Kansas City, Kan, has just had
a hard municipal fight for the estab-
lishment of certain municipal indus
tries, the Topeka commissioners be-
lieVe that he knows what he is talking
about.

WAS COLD DRY MONTH
Low Temperature Record for Kansas
Broken in December.

Wheat was unfavorably affected by
the continued dry weather during the
month of December according TO the
monthly weather bulletin issued today
by the weather bureau here. Reports
generally indicate. however, that it is
still healthy and will develop if it re-
ceives sufficient moisture. The re-
port follows:
This was the sixth successive
month with deficient precipitation
over the middle third of Kansas and
the fourth dry month in the western
third, according to the reports of 12O
stations of the weather bureau that
cover conditions in almost every
county. The snowfall was COMPARE
lively heavy but it failed to yield
enough moisture even for present
needs Low December temperature
records in the eastern two-thirds of
the state were broken on the 21St,
when % degrees below zero was re-
corded in Jewell county, but the first
week of the month was warm and
pleasant with a maximum of rs de-
grees at two western stations, which
gives total temperature range of 100
degrees for the month. Tempera-
lures were below zero in almost every
county on the 5th and 21st and in the
northern counties on several other
DAYS during the last three weeks, while
the monthly means were below nor

WILL AID ARMENIANS
Topeka School Follows Appeal of
Bagdasar h. Baghdigian.

A tale of a nation which has had one
of the most Brilliant histories ever
read; nation which is now composed
of homeless, harried wanderers; a ma
ton claiming the distinction of being
the oldest Christian nation in the
world, now at the mercy of Moham-
medans who believe that Paradise is
to be attained thru the persecution of
Christians. was told at the Topeka In
dustrial and Educational institute for
colored students by Bagdasar K.
Baghdigian, an Armenian and a grad
uate of the State Agricultural college,
now devoting a large part of his time
to the lecture platform. He spoke of
the horrors which are being practiced
now. and which have been practiced
thruout the present war and before, on
the Armenians.
Following his address. it was decid-
cd that certain funds in the treasury
of the school should be donated to the
Armenian relief work, thru the Ar
menians and Syrian relief committee in
New York.

Ell PAS0 is BOOMING
Wealthy Mexicans, Soldiers and Tour
lists Make Texas Town Live One.

Altho smaller than Topeka, Ell Paso,
Texas. has finer hotels, finer stores,
and generally a more wealthy air.
That's because Ell Paso entertains
many wealthy Mexicans, and just at
present is the home of some 10000
national guardsmen.
'El Paso certainly knows how to en-
terrain tourists, and with the soldiers
there, the city is getting rich said P.
W. johnson. travelling passenger agent
for the Rock Island this morning. He
recently visited the Texas city. The
Rock Island is making a strong draw
ing card of the military encampment
at Ell Paso, in its campaign for tour
lists. Pictures of the camp appear on
the folders and the road is sending out
large photographs of scenes there, as
advertising matter.
The guardsmen encamped on the
border are good spenders as far as
their money will take them, and with
the experience the FL Paso people
have had with other tourists, they are
expert in ''takin' it away from EN-
according to Johnson. Ell Paso was
in the past very popular with the
wealthy Mexicans from the northern
states of Mexico, and at present there
are many of the well-to-do who find
it inconvenient to reside at home, and
who are spending time and money in
the border city.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkaIi. which is very
Injurious, as it dries the scalp an
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces:
You can get this at any drug store, and
a few ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months.
SinnIv rnoisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright. fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dand-
uff.-Advertisement.
