The Public Utilities Commission to
day handed down an opinion in case
of two years standing in which the
Bell Telephone Company asked per-
mission to increase its rates at Well
ington. The commission went into the
case very thoroughly in order to fix
the cost of telephone service. The
Bell Company is charging 81 a month
for business phones in Wellington,
residence lines, SLIPS a month and
farm lines $1.25 month, party lines
for residences, $1.25. The commission
permitted the company to increase its
rates on individual residence phones
to $3.50 a month, all other rates to
stand. By making this change the
commission found the net income to
the Bell Company would amount to
8.95 per cent on it's investment. The
finding of the commission in the Well
ington case will be used hereafter as
a basis for fixing telephone rates in
the state, as the commission has been
able to fix the cost of service. Rates
in every city will be based upon the
cost and character Of service.

The Hern Mill and Elevator Com
pany of Hutchinson has been ordered
to quit business by the enforcement
division of the United States food ad-
ministration, it was announced re-
Gently. Several complaints were for
warded to Walter p Innes, United
States food administrator for Kansas
by volunteer secret service men, re-
garding that mill. These reports were
referred to the grain and milling di-
vision for action and the department
of enforcement decided to close the
mill on the charge of failure to obtain
license. Recently the mill owners ap-
piled for a license, but were refused
because they had failed to get Ii
cense earlier. According to ]. T. Par
ker, special attorney in the depart
ment of enforcement, the owner Of
the mill was very obstreperous" when
asked to observe the food rules and
help win the war. This is the first
mill in Kansas to be closed for viola
tion of the food rules.

GIVE UP PLATINUM!
Women of Nation Are Asked to
Make Sacrifice.
Precious Metal So Badly Needed by
the Government Will Not Be Used
for Personal Adornment by
the True Patriot.
BY A5RIE FARWELL BROWN Of tFre
Viullantes.

BY A4BlE FARWELL BROWN OF tho
Vlgllantes.
Who would have thought that ,
small thing as bit Of jewelry might
show ones unpatriotism? And yet 1t
is so! Every woman who wears bit
Of platinum jewelry is defrauding the
government Of Just so much power for
war. Every man who buys platinum
setting for his dear lady's ring is put
ting the badge of his carelessness upon
her. Every jeweler who persuades a
buyer that platinum Is more chic than
the gold Of other days, is setting con-
trary to the NATIONS interests.
Platinum is exceedingly important
in the steel and iron works and in the
manufacture Of munitions. From 1t is
produced sulphuric acid, used in maxi
ing high explosives. 1t is one of the
big assets Of power; but platinum Is
scarce, growing scarcer every day.
The situation Is so serious as to Grip
pie both the university laboratories,
whose patriotic chemists aye working
on war problems, and the chemical in
dustries which have developed here
since war began, to replace German
productions.
Our country contains no platinum
mines, and the supply from the Ural
mountains Is almost unobtatnable now,
In the Russian crisis. Our other great
platinum soi1rce, Colombia, has also
apparently failed us at this juncture.
The shortage is such that the metal
now costs $9S an ounce! But for that
very reason-because 1t Is doublX
precious-some unthinking persons de-
sire 1t all the more to adorn them
selves. Think of it! To adorn ones
silly self, at the expense OF ones coun-
try's safety! Surely there is no Amer
lean woman so selfish, VIXEN once she
knows the truth. Surely no one. de-
sires to be more beautiful at the cost
of blood.
Jewelry set in platinum is undenia-
bly, rich. But one is not, hope, think
ing about rich effects in dress nova
days. It is no time to court admira-
tion with jewelry. Patriotism is the
only bright, particular jewel worth dis
playing.
So keen is the anxiety of the chem
lists over the high cost Of platinum
that one world-famous scientist has
sacrificed a beautiful platinum dish
presented to him in recognition Of his
distinguished service to science. This
patriot sold his precious keepsake, the
reward of years Of faithful research
for mankind, in order that the metal
It contained might be fashioned into
chemists supplies for the further aid
of his country. Such o memorial was
worth more than jewels.
Cannot all the women of Americl be
as self-sacri6cing as this great man Of
science?

WATCH 'NON-pARTISAN LEAGUE
Governor Capper Seeking Data on
Work of Organization In Kansas
for the Government.

At the suggestion of government Of
ficials, Governor Capper has asked
various county councils of defense to
investigate the activities of the Non
Partisan League. The object is to
find out wehther or not the league is
war. The governors letter to the
county councils is in part as follows:
81 have just received request from
an official of the federal government
TO make an investigation of the activi-
ties of the organization known as the
'Non-Partisan League This official
informs me there are rumors that
workers of this organization are trav-
cling through Kansas and Oklahoma
spreading the widest sort of anti-goV-
ernment propaganda. AS promptly as
possible will you be kind enough to
make thorough investigation
through the officers and members of
your council to ascertain the facts.
up to this time no information of
such activities of the Non-Partisan
League has come to this office. And
know of no state SO free from any
evidence Of disloyalty as Kansas. But
we must take no chances. 1t was not
force of arms but insidious enemy
propaganda, swarms of spies and
widespread bribery that laid Russia,
Rumania and Serbia low, and that al
most defeated Italy"

That there is commercial value In
unconsidered trifles is shown by q
writer, who says:
"The scales Of fish, which are Of util-
ity to the owner during its sojourn in
the vastly deep. are ignored after cap
ture as good only for the refuse heap.
But 1t was not ever thus" says an ex-
change. "In days gone by fish scales
possessed real value. notably those
of roach, bleak, dace and whitehall.
colder writer's tell us how the scales
Of these fishes were collected and used
in the manufacture of necklaces, ear
rings and such like ornament. Thames
fishermen used to catch fish, take Off
the scales and throw the body back
Into the river. A pigment was obtain
ed by treating the scales in certain
fashion, whitehall being the most pop
ular fish used for the purpose. So
great formerly was the demand at
times that the price Of a quart Of
fish scales varied from one to five
guineas.
"This treatment Of Ash scales for
making small personal adornments Is
attributed to the French"

group of public-spirited citizens in Hol-

tributing members and by the sale Of
tickets, which cost 30 and rs cents
each, were employed in remodeling an

ences that gather here show by their
representative character that this is
