Anthony Urges Continuation of
Roads Operations.
Junking 1t Would Leave Towns
Without Service.

Washington, D. G., Jan. 24.-At
conference at the headquarters of the
government railroad administration
between Judge Payne, legal adviser of
the director-general of railroads,
Judge A. E. Helm, commerce counsel
of the public utilities commission of
Kansas, and Congressman D. r. An
thony, Jr.. who was present at the
request of many of his constituents
interested in the matter, the whole
situation with reference to the pres
ent status of the Leavenworth & To-
peka railroad was thoroly gone over.
Helm Submits Data.
Judge Helm submitted data giving
a brief history of the road. the man
ner in which it had for years been
jointly operated by the Santa Fe and
the Union Pacific, and giving a sum-
mary of the financial phase of it's
operation from the time it was built
but intended particularly to show
Judge Payne that it had been purpose
ly operated at a financial loss by the
Santa Fe and Union Pacific with a
view to greatly reducing if not entire
ly destroying its competitive character.
Congressman Anthony dwelt upon
the more recent efforts which have
been made by the present owner to
junk the road, laying particular stress
upon the advisability of its continued
operation at this time when the gov
nate the operation of the railroads of
the country to facilitate the movement
of traffic and relieve the serious con-
gestion of freight in many of the
great freight terminals of the country.
Leave Towns Without Service.
Anthony pointed out that the con-
gestion in the freight terminals at
Kansas City could be greatly relieved
by d1verting to the l.. & T. at Leaven-
worth all freight coming into Leaven-
worth from the north over the Mis-
souri, Pacific, Rock Island and Chicago
Great Western, and consigned to To-
peka and points south. Anthony also
pointed out that the junking of the
road would leave several towns along
It's line entirely without railroad
facilities, and that carloads of wheat
under government shipping orders
were even now standing on the side
tracks at these towns being seriously
delayed on account of the greatly cur
tailed train service. The Kansas rep
reSentative urged that as a war meas
ure, If for no other reason, the gov
eminent should order the continued
operation of the road.

CLOSE SCHOOL MAY |
That Is the Plan Suggested by X. o.
War Council.

Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 24.-Closing
of the University of Kansas May !
and the holding of classes six days
each week instead of five is proposed
by the university war council as the
best step the university authorities can
take to help in the war this spring
The proposition was introduced at the
meeting Of the council today, and the
university senate will be asked to vote
on the resolution early next week.
The purpose of the plan is to re-
lease regular students and faculty
members for farm work and to turn
the facilities of the university, includ-
ing the school of engineering over to
the war department for the training
of five hundred army mechanics from
May l to October 1.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-
but really new hair-growing all over
the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
Gou bles the beauty of your hair No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it thru
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time The effect is Advantageous
hair will be light. fluffy and wavy,
and have an appearance of album
dance; an Incompatible lustre, soft
ness and luXuriance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any
drug store or toilet counter, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft as
any--that it has been neglected or in
1ured by careless treatment-that's
all--you surely can have beautiful
hair and lots of it if you will just try
a little Observation-Disclosures.

Merchants Will Make the Fuel
Conservation Sacrifice.
Even Tho 1t May Do Little
Good, Accept UItimatum.
CAREY IN UNTIMELY SPEECH
Told Topeka Business Men To
"Wake Up and Be Patriotic"
This Despite Their Leadership
in War Work in State.

Topeka merchants went to the coal
meeting at the Chamber of Commerce
with an olive branch in their hands
and words of patriotism and offers of
support on their lips They were
heartily behind any reasonable, prac-
teal and sensible regulation of bust
ness activities which saved fuel. After
their offers of support, Emerson Carey
of Hutchinson, state fuel adminiStra-
tor, apparently ignorant of all the
capital city had done in war work
way, told the merchants Topeka
didn't know the war had broken out
and ought to be more patriotic.
At the end of two hours and half
of speech making the merchants were
just where they started. No amend
ments were made to the original or
der. No amendments were proffered.
Carey told the merchants to ''be good
fellows and get little more patri-
otto" But Carey did not offer to put
Topeka on a footing with his home
tor, told the big crowd of nearly 400
people he had did the best 1
could" He pleaded for support He
had been down in the valley and the
shadow and criticism cut him sorely.
The ban would be lifted, he said, as
soon as fuel conditions warranted.
1t was = genuinely loyal and patri-
otto spirit which the Topeka mer-
chants showed in the meeting. Every
speaker declared he was behind any
reasona BILE and logical fuel cOnserva-
ton order He was willing to bow to
any decree. Yet he asked that thought
and judgment be exercised in orders
which affected every commercial in
dustry in the city.
More Drastic Here.
In the course of the meeting Will
lam Green read orders affecting three
Kansas towns-kansas City. Hutch
inson and Salina. Topeka's order was
far the most drastic. Kansas City,
which Carey told the Topeka mer-
chants is entirely without coal and
has been forced to borrow from the
railroads, opens its stores at in the
morning and closes at in the even
ing, with a o'clock Saturday night
program.
Hutchinson, the state admins
traitors home town. has similar
order. In spite of the fact that Carey
told the Topeka merchants they
didn't seem to know the war had
order that would put Topeka an
equality with his home town. Salina
was shown by Green to have a clos
ing order similar to Kansas City and
Hutchinson except that stores were
compelled to close at $3.50 Saturday
nights.
Carey Rubbed in His Salt.
Every industry in town affected by
the fuel order offered to obey a rea-
sonable rule, but asked only that
judgment and an understanding of
conditions be applied A supplemental
order was asked. But after rubbing

UNION STORE BIG SUCCESS.
Farmers Increase Capital Stock of
Beileville Business to $4,000.

Bellevilie, Kan, Jan. 24-The di-
rectors of the Farmers Union store
held their annual meet here and
unanimously decided to increase the
capital stock from $4,000 to $4,000.
The past year has been one of the
most prosperous years the store has
known, doing As per cent more bust
ness than any previous year.
Each Stockhold received s per
cent OF the capital stock. Besides
having a general stock of dry goods
and groceries, the store is buying
cream and handling farm machinery.
The stockholders have branch
store at Wayne. The farmers are well
organized in this county and are plan
ming better organization in the future.
