According to Schedule.

Shippers and consumers in Topeka,

was asserted today by E. II. Hogue-
land, commerce counsel for the To-
peka Traffic association.
Hogueland asserts that the petitions
to be signed by as many persons at
fected as possible, will be sent to Kan
sas senators and representatives in
congress. The petition will ask that
baby line" railroads not be ''di-
vorced" from government control, but
be included along with the larger lines.
There is bill now pending before
congress" said Hogueland, ito fix the
compensation of railroads for the Pc
Rod of federal control. In our petit
ticn we will ask our representatives in
congress to attach an amendment that
will include the baby lines, of which
there are about 500 in the country.

'Such action would save the Leav-
enworth & Topeka, or at least put its
destiny up to the director general

L. S. Cass, receiver for the Kansas
City Northwestern, told a delegation
of shippers Wednesday evening that

answer to the shippers delegation
leaves Judge Pollock in the federal

RELIABLE METHOD OF HAIR CARE

Hair is by far the most conspicu-
Gus thing about Us and is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. If we are very
careful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An espe-
cially fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair, that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandruff, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at
trifling expense by simply dissolving
tesspoonful of Canthrox (Which you
can get at any druggfst's), in a cup
of hot water. This makes a full cup
of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply to all the hair instead of Just
the top of the head. This chemically
dissolves all impurities and creates a
soothing, cooling lather Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and plant, while the hair takes on the
glossy richness of natural color, also
fluffiness~which makes it seem much
heavier than it is. After Canthrox
shampoo, arranging the hair is
plea sure.-Advertisem

Two tobacco stores, the Tromp Annex

Each dealer admitted he had seen
these notices. One declared no profit
could be made at all in selling the
packages for cents. Another one
told reporter for the State Journal
who purchased tobacco this morning
that the wholesale price has been
boosted from 4S cents per dozen pack

you will find that irritations. pimples,

WHEAT CROP REPORT
Condition Little Improved in Big Kan

Kansas wheat was practically DOR
mant during January and at the close
of the month its condition was gen.
orally the same as at the beginning
poor to fair in most plaoes-according
to a summary of crop conditions in
the state issued here today by S. d.
Flora, meteorologist, at the section
center of the weather bureau.
In some places where the snow was
not blown from the fields. or where
it drifted to considerable depth,
wheat greened up a little, tho the
growing crop still is in need of mois-
ture. Moisture, however, is not need
ed as badly as in the early part of
the winter. the report declares.
Corn was frozen up all thru the
month, according to the summary, but
much of it was still soft in the eastern
portion and liable to spoil with the
advent of warm weather

the weight of the package down a

way for the local dealer to meet the
