X. S. N. HAS new HALL
Albert Taylor Memorial Redetiicated
With Veteran Educator Present.

Emporia, May 21.-A feature of
commencement week at the Normal
was the rededication of Albert Taylor
hall at 10 o'clock Monday. DR.. Albert
j.. Taylor, in honor of whom the hall
was named, was present and respond
ed to the dedicatory address. Ex-
Governor Hoch delivered the dedi-
catory address.
Doctor Taylor. who is now president
Of James .Millikin university, was
president of the Normal from 1882 to
1901. He left the Normal to accept
the position he now holds. AS an edu-
Gator and a lecturer on educational
subjects, he holds a national reputa-
ton.
President Taylor came to the
Normal when it was just emerging
from the crisis brought on by the
withdrawal of state aid in 1876 and
the fire of 1878. In this crisis the at
tendance had fallen as low as ninety
students and in 1882 the attendance
was only about 400. President Taylor
proved a capable organizer and a re-
bound from the days of adversely fol-
lowed. Under his administration the
Normal rapidly grew, until in 1900 the
attendance was 1000. He instituted
many valuable measures and handed
to his successor a truly great normal
school.
When the old auditorium was built
in 1895 it was dedicated to President
Taylor. who had been largely instru-
mental in obtaining the building. The
new auditorium bears his name as an
added tribute to the great services he
rendered the school and the state.

HE PRAISES VILLAGES
Population Now Flowing to Them
From Cities, Says-Speaker.

Kansas City, Mo, May 21.-"No
longer is the country village the cen-
ter of cracker-box philosophy, nor the
village store a hang-out for village
idlers," said DR.. Paul L. Vogt, head of
the department of rural work of the
board of home missions of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, speaking today
before the division of the local COM
munity at the National Conference of
Social Work here.
THE movement toward the elimi-
nation of the saloon has been largely
a rural movement" said Doctor Vogt,
land the villages have had their share
in influencing public opinion in the
control and elimination of the liquor
traffic"
The novel fact that village families
are growing smaller and that increase
in village population is coming from
the large cities was vouched for by
Doctor Vogt. The ancestry of our
city population in fifty years will be
made up Of those Immigrants who
have come in recent years from south
ern Europe, he said.
The social and religious life of the
villages is thus being vitality changed.
in the opinion of Doctor Vogt
THE village is becoming the center
Of agricultural social progress and
thus is the key to the advancement Of
the social welfare over half the
American population" he said

ARMY TO HANDLE MAIL
a. e. r. Matter Taken Over from
Postoffice Department Now.

Washington, May 21.-Delivery of
mail to and it's collection from the
American expeditionary forces has
been taken over by the war depart
ment.
Postmaster General Burleson, in
making this announcement, said the
postoff1ce department had insisted on
the army conducting it's own mail
service in France because of the re-
fusal of the military authorities
charged with the conduct of opera
lions to disclose to the postal authori-
ties the location and movement of
troops.
Mail for the troops overseas will be
delivered by the postoff1ce department
to army authorities at the ports of
embarkation in the United States and
that from the soldiers abroad will be
received by the postoffice department
at a port in France for its dispatch to
America.

GAVE PARK PAGEANT
High School Girls Gave Unique Per
Torrance Monday Afternoon.

Central park was crowded with the
spectators for the pageant given by
the girls of the high school late Mon
day afternoon 1t was estimated that
more than two thousand persons were
present to enjoy the allegorical spec
tacle presented. The party was given
in honor of the mothers of the girls,
and pictured the transition of the girls
of peace times. whose principal OBJ
ject in life is to look nice. to the girl
of war times, who continues to look
nice, but adds to the look an atmos-
phere of capability for service.
Miss Marian S1uires was queen of
the pageant and her attendants were
Misses Althea Wiede, Thelma Hus-
ton, Helen Hawkes. and Ruth Wilson.
The pageant is an annual affair with
the high school gi-ls. under the direc-
ton of Miss Ewing, girls principal.

generally accepted as the final Off
cial prediction on the states crop
yield in advance of the June harvest.
While estimates have been made by
number of independent observers and
by the.government, Secretary Mohler
has not offered a guess as to the total
yield for this year
In his April report Mohler showed
that of a total of nine and half mil
lion acres sown to wheat in Kansas
last fall, approximately one-third has
been abandoned. The real shock came
when Mohler showed that the heavy
losses were III the big wheat growing
counties
In Cove county "a per cent Of the
total acreage was reported a failure
in April, while Gray reported S3 per
cent lost and Graham 81. Reno coun-
ty, however, lost but per cent of its
243.74s acres. On the other hand
Lincoln county was compelled to
abandon Sc per cent of its 143,s67
acres sown to wheat. Rocks county,
with 2O4.S96 acres. reported 81 per
cent failure and Russell with 192,943
reported AZ per cent failure.
Favorable Weather.
1t is believed that the more favor
able weather conditions of the last
month have improved conditions in
number of the important wheat coun-
ties. In spite of the poor April show
ing in the western counties, Mohler
showed an unusual acreage in the
eastern half of the state and a condi-
ton far above normal. With the re-
cent rains, it is probable the eastern
counties may produce a crop Suffi-
cient to offset in a large measure the
short yield in the west. The Mohler
report this week will be compiled from
more than 1900 reports from every
wheat growing county in the state.
Coming at the time when wheat is
vital factor in winning the war for de-
mocracy. Mothers report will be of

leadership some sad thoughts during

Improvement Over April.
In Eastern Counties Big Show
ing Is Looked For.

The first state estimate of the new
Kansas wheat crop will be made pub
lie this week in report by ]. G.
Mohler, secretary of the state board
of agriculture. Mohler will give
bushel estimate of the 1918 wheat
yield. The growing acreage in the
state, according to the April report,
was 6,309,563.
Since the first monthly crop re-
port was issued from the agricultural
department in April, conditions in the
state have greatly improved. Timely
rains have revived crops in localities
where there was slight hope for a
normal yield. or where conditions
pointed to an almost total failure. The
acreage in the eastern counties is alb
normally heavy and conditions are
good. In the extreme western coun-
ties. however, dry weather and heavy
winds have destroyed a large acre

.Cocoanut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub il in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.
