while Chalmers smoked. She studied
him covertly at every opportunity as
they chatted and talked. but she had
persistentiy refused to, give him any
knowledge of herself other than the
first name of Mary. which he had
guessed. She watched hin. curiously
as he took a charred stick and marked
a mystic sign on the smooth skin Of
her arm.
What is it2" she asked looking
lowed by a dash.
I've put my brand on you." he
smiled into her eyes. Tive a ranch in
California, the Circle Bar-and that's
my brand"
"Oh," she murmured. rubbing the
mark off with her hand, at the same
time realizing regretfully that 1t was
time for her to go. So she gathered up
her clothes andt went back into the
trees to put them on.
Sadly wrinkled, but nice and dry"
she laughed, as she climbed into her
canoe a few moments later.
Then silently they padded along side
by side, till she halted, saying: You
must not go any further"
The canoes floated together. and he
leaned over and held them thus.
Am I going to see you again,
Nary" he asked earnestly.
Perhaps I'll come this way again"
she smiled, as she dipped her paddle
and swept on down the river and out
of sight.
That night Chalmers took the
puncher's outfit that hung as a deco
ration on the wall of his shack and
dressed himself for the costume ball
that was to be held several miles be-
low at the famous Windermere Inn,
one of the most interesting resorts in
the Maine woods. When he arrived
the ball was in full swing in the great
log balconied room, made a thousand
times more attractive by the colorful
costumes of the chattering groups
and the music.
In the center OF one group stood a
delightful Spanish dancer who turned
gaily to speak to some one passing and
revealed to Chalmers a round bare
shoulder. on which had been printed
with black eyebrow pencil the brand
of the Circle Bar.
Instantly he stood before the group
and swept his high-crowned hat.which
bore the same insigne. a deep Span.

MAY. GUST LANG!
Probable Wilson VIII Take Ac-
ton Against Sylvia Banker.
Claim Reno County Capitalist
"Knocked" Liberty Bond.

It is probable that Walter E. Will
son. state bank commissioner, will is
sue an order late today removing F. z.
Lang as cashier of the Citizens State
Bank of Sylvia. Reno county. Lang
is under arrest by the federal gov
eminent on a charge of obstructfng
the sale of liberty bonds.
For several weeks the state bank
ing department has been seeking an
interview with Lang regarding his ac-
ton in failing to support the war ac-
tivities. Commissioner Wilson had
notified the banker to come to Topeka
today for a conference. Under a COM
plant issued Saturday by Fred Rob-
ertson, United States district attorney,
Lang was placed under arrest by the
government Wilson will discuss the
case with Robertson this afternoon
and 1t is believed an order will i'm
mediately follow asking the board of
directors of the Reno county bank to
remove Lang as CASHIER
Reports received by Wilson have
been to the effect that Lang advised
patrons of his bank not to invest in
liberty bonds. Following the custom
established in several similar cases, 1t
Is believed Lang's removal from off,
cial connection with the bank will be
ordered.

A SALES CARNIVAL
Plans Out for Suburban Har.
vest" Here August 1917.
Four Band Concerts Each Day
in Special Stand ON Avenue.

Dollar day i'll Topeka last May was
such a huge success that the business
men Of the city have decided on an
other big sale of like character-evi-
IDENTIFY working on the basis that If
some is good. more is better. and a
little more is best. The "best" part of
the adage is what applies. for the sale
planned is to take up two whole days,
August 1911.
According to advance plans an
nounced today. the Suburban Harvest
Sale" as the August event will be ad-
vertised is to be the biggest sales ef-
fort ever put on in Topeka. In fact
the plans Indicate that it is not going
to be just "a sale" but that it Is 60
ing to take on all the glory of a Rus
sian or an Italian sales carnival.
Bands Will Play.
The plans indicate that a big band
stand is to be erected probably at
Eighth and Kansas avenue where con-
certs will be played three or four
times each of the two days. 1t Is also
planned to have the bands parade up
and down Kansas avenue at least twice
Ia day and probably four times. Ar
rangements will be made to mark off
parking space on streets running east
from Kansas avenue where the cars
OF visitors may be left and where ii
the parking lines are used as guide
posts there will be no difficulty in ex-
Treating ones car from the 'angle
The committees in charge of the ar
Irangements for the Suburban Harvest
sale are sparing no effort to make the
Suburban Harvest resemble nothing sc
much as the biggest two days carni-
val Topeka will ever have on record

When Napoleon was conquering one
country after another in Europe IN
most capitals he found thrones al
ready set up, which he proceeded to
fill with his kin and his field mar
shals There were no dukes and
princes available for his purpose at
the time In pursuance of his efforts
to ape the Corsican, the kaiser has be-
gun to erect thrones in the conquered
Russian provinces and fill them with
members of the German autocracy.
His start in this direction has been
made in Finland, where he has caused
a delegation of Firms to offer the
Finnish crown. of which nobody ever
heard before, to German duke end 1t
has been accepted. Probably a imi-
lar course will DO pursued in Poi@nd.
Lithuania. Esthonia and Ukrania. BY
this method he hopes SO firmly to
fasten his hold on the conquered ter
ritory that it cannot be broken. While
the remainder of the world is engaged
in an effort - do away with auto
cratic forms of government, this per-
son who considers himself a second
Napoleon is trying to establish new
kingdoms and principalities of which
he plans to become the supreme ruler.
In the end the thrones which he builds
will crumble just as did the rule cstab-
lished by the emperor of the French.

RADIO co. into II
Sutherland Death Indicates To-
pekans Are In Offensive.
Company of Is Men From This
City in Battalion.

News of the death of Kenneth
Sutherland in service in France is to-
day accepted by state military Off
Gals as evidence of the fact that the
entire radio corps from Kansas NAV
be in the midst of the allied counter
offensive. Seventy-five men-prac-
tically all Topekans-were in Radio
Co. A of the national guards, under
command of Capt. Elmer G. Stahl of
Topeka.
More than 225 Kansans are in the
radio battalion under command of
Maj. Milton r. Mclean, a wellington
banker. The battalion includes wire
less Co. A, Topeka; wire Co. B, lola,
and outpost Co. C. Wichita.
Men IN the radio service went to
Fort Sill in August last year with the
Kansas national guard units. They
were taken overseas with the Seven
tieth Infantry brigade under command
OF General Charles I. Martin. former
adjutant general of the state. With the
practical certainty that the radio or
ganizations from this state are in the
counter drive, there is also prospect
that the commands under General
Martin have also been sent to the
front. The units include the 13sth
infantry-the All-Kansas organization
the 10th regiment Of Missourians
and the 138th regiment of mbina ton
units from the two states.
No news concerning the activities of
the former guardsmen has been re-
ceived in Topeka. The death of Suth-
erland. however, is generally regarded
as evidence that at least a portion of
the units of former national guards
men are now in the fighting.

THE NEW TAX BILL.

Everybody is or should be interest
ed in the new revenue bill which is
being formulated by the ways and
means committee of the house Tax
alton is the vital question of the day.
1t affects the entire population. The
administration Is confronted with the
necessity of obtaining the great vol
ume of taxes necessary to the sue
cessful conduct Of the war with az lit
tie disturbance to economic condi-
tions as possible. We hear much
about taxing the profiteer so heavily
that he will be compelled to give back
the government.
Would it not be far better, says the
WoIlman Review, to strike at the
source, and prevent profiteering in
stead of taxing #? Certainly the adj
ministration should not consider the
comparatively small number who are
making unjust profits from the war In
opposition to the millions who are
daily paying excessive prices for ne
ceSsities.
Unfortunately, many people are OBJ
sessed with the idea that they will do
as little as possible unless they re-
ceive constantly increasing wages.
Every essential business should be en-
couraged. To do this, it is evident
that fair profits must be made posi-
BILE in all industries. The man who is
doing as little IS he can for the nigh
est wages he has ever received is real
'ly worse than the profiteer.
The people of the United STATES are
fighting today to make peace secure
for future generations. It seems
wholly just that posterity should bear
a full share of this burden, yet no one
objects to paying just portion of
his income for war taxes.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS
Canning and Preserving.

Red Raspberry MarmaIade-Use one
quart of red raspberries, one quart of
peaches, six cups of sugar, one-half
pound<of English walnut meats. Peel
peaches and cut in cubes, mix with
berries. Put sugar on top of mixture.
boil till thickens. Let cool. then add
nuts.
To Preserve Peaches for Pies in
Winter-Take five pounds OF sugar
to fifteen pounds of peaches, boil fif-
teen minutes, then add one and one
half pints of white vinegar and boil
fifteen minutes. Put in jars and seal.
Peaches With Cider-To three pints
of seeded peaches put one pint of
cider and four tablespoons of white
sugar. Cook until silver fork will
enter without breaking the fruit. This
quantity usually fills a one-quart can.
Pare only enough for four cans. Put
your cider in kettle, add sugar. then
peaches. Do not use any water. AL
ways use pure cane sugar in canning,
as beet sugar cakes and spoils fruit.
String Beans-CSok them in salt
water the came as for table use. Put
them in tin cans and cover with the
juice. Then set can on stove until it
boils, put the lid on and seal.
The secret in canning beans this
way is that when they come to- a
boil it takes the gas out of the beans
and they keep fine.

until she becomes perfect. This takes.
as a rule, anywhere from three to ten
days, during which time she works on
old material of little value. Buffalo
factory is now training about thirty
men and women a day in its ''vesti-
bule'' school,
Every manufacturer you meet these
days has his own ideas about the en-
ployment of women. Some assert that
there is very little difference between
the sexes, while others are apt to ex-
aggerate their contrasting character
istics. One employer recently declared
that the contentment of a woman en-
ploye depended one-third on JtAe
amount of her wage; one-third on her
living conditions, and one-third on
her opportunities for amusement
Amusement facilities, he believes, are
one of the chief factors in solving the
problem of a labor turnover. Women
will stay where they can have d good
time outside their hours of work,
and you can't make them leave, even
for higher wages.
Thus, such amuSementS as bowling,
tennis and dancing should be stimu-
lated in factory towns, this manufac-
turer believes; card clubs should be
encouraged among the women, and
moving pictures provided. Care must
be taken not to NEEDLE with the class
IdIScu Tic WOlliCu va
to supervise their amusements in any
way. Neither must they be offered as
a charity. Women like 70 pay for
what they get, like to be independent.
and hate to be disturbed inlthe forma-
ton of their own cliques or social sets.
Another manufacturer believes that
attractive living accommodations will
hold women with a greater surety
than anything else. Give women COM
forta Bile, clean homes, with day nur-
series in the case of married women
with children, and opportunities for
securing good food. and you need not
worry about them dew looping the wan
derlust.
One other problem that still re-
mains to be settled in employing wom-
en- in the places of men is that of her
suitability to the task. Are women
suited to run street cars, to work in
railroad yards. to lift heavy pieces OF
machinery and to dure night work ?
Miss V-.n Vleeck and Miss Anderson
answer these questions with the coun-
ter questions: Are these occupations
altogether desirable for men either.
and could they not be made suitable
and desirable for both?'
