1 think 1t would be all right to give

Dear MSs. Thompson: have
son Is years old and 1 cannot make
him take my advice any longer He is

He says he is in love with her and is

can 1 do to make him give UP the
girl? MOTHER.
You cannot make your son eive mp
the girl. Let him go with her and tire
of her. There is very little chance
that his love will endure until ne is of
age. Interference from parents In
love affairs very often intensifies the
love.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I'm hot

A wash alone will not cure the
trouble. Dusting the feet every morn

When this fails the following is said
to be a sure cure: Boric acid. eighty

MIR. MORGAN AND TOPEKA.

Topeka and her trade district have
a responsibility in Tuesdays Republi-
can primaries. An organized effort
has been made to give w. Y. Morgan
OF Hutchinson 4 big vote in this sec
tributary to Topeka. That effort has
been made in spite of Mr.. Morgan's
open and known hostility to the To-
peka fair and to appropriations for her
institutions. The effort for Morgan Is
made in the face of the practice by
Morgan and his associates of Ilfair
legislative tactics which denied to To
peka just and fair treatment.
Every trick OF politics has been
used in the last two weeks in an effort
to nominate Morgan. False and mis-
leading statements, anonymous circu-
lars and advertisements have been
used in an effort to give Morgan a
big vote. An organized effort is being
made in several circles to give him a
big vote here. That effort is being
made in spite of the fact that every
vote for Morgan in Topeka or her
trade district is attested treason to
port.
Morgan is the one man who has
even a remote, outside chance to de-
feat Henry J. Allen in tomorrow's pri-
maries. James A. Troutman of To-
peka or S. NJ. Brewster of Troy would
no doubt make excellent governors
But on the face of conditions in Kan
sas today there is no chance for their
nomination. In Parsons, it is report
ed, Pete Foley and his organization
are throwing Brewster and going to
Morgan. That is just an instance. A
few votes might decide the nominal
ton. 1t is apparent that neither
Troutman nor Brewster can win. t.
peka should put her votes where sthey
count-after the name of Henry ].
Allen.

DIXIE AND THE WAR.

The south, which went thru many
long, lean years of Republican party
rule when she could rarely obtain a
place at the public crib. is now getting
even on her whole existence. Time
was when the expenditure Of the
enormous sums of government funds
now being showered on Dixie would
have brought forth the cry that the
rebel brigadiers are in the saddle"
All these changes are brought about
by the war and the fact that politics
has been adjourned for the duration
thereof.
Aggressive development work in all
parts of the south is now under way.
Great steel and munition plants are
springing UP everywhere. The United
States government has already under
way the expenditure of 100000, 900
for the building of nitrate and powder
plants, in addition to those now being
constructed at Muscle Shoals, Ala, one
of the greatest undertakings IL the
history Of the United States. The huge
power dam is expected to develop
more power than the total amount OBJ

The government is building near
Nashville a powder plant which will
ultimately cost in the neighborhood OF
a hundred million dollars and employ
10000 men. Another plant Of the
same magnitude is being built liz West
Virginia. and an armor-plate plant to
cost s20.000.O00 is being built at

There are eleven Georgetowns in the
International Encyclopedia. The one
located in the District of Columbia is
described briefly in the above-men-
toned volume of knowledge as FORM
erlys a town in the District of Column
bia but now included within the limits
of the city of Washington That,
however, is not all there Is to George
town, D. c.
In the first place, Georgetown was
not named after George Washington
as many people think-it was named
after George III OF England. George
Washington used to enjoy riding over
Georgetown's cobble-paved streets
when he was just an apple-cheeked
boy. Georgetown was a thriving town
before the Revolution, and the cus-
toms house of Georgetown was an
especially notable institution long be-
fore it was decided to locate the cap
ital city at Washington.
Attempts have been made to change
Georgetown's name to West Washing
ton, but in vain. Georgetown lives on
- a discreetly slow and proudly an
cient community slightly shabby at
the elbows and shiny on the seams but
supporting many charming old homes.
Visitors of the rubber-neck variety
touring Georgetown always enthuse
beautifully over Oak Hill cemetery
