chicago Jan. 7.-CORN-Storns which
hampered railway traffic gave a little firm
ness today to the corn market Demand
however, was slow. as traders inclined to
the view that delay to an increased crop
movement from the country would not be
long delayed Besides, a refusal of the
board of trade directors to disturb the
present maximum price limit future de-
hverfes tended to discourage bulls. Opening
prices, which ranged from unchanged fig
ureS to u higher. with January 81 .211s
and May st.259s to S1.25A were followed by
something of a reaction and then fresh
upturn.

Issue Bonds as Needed.
Should the legislature provide
$500, 1000 emergency bond issue and the
state be able to meet all war time
expenses with 100000, the state
would be saved the additional $780,
900 and these bonds would not be is
sued Should the legislature make a
direct appropriation of 100000, how
ever, the tax payers would be COM
PEELED to raise the entire sum in their
1919 tax levy. The bond plan was
offered both with a view of keeping
as we'll as providing executive discre-
ton as to expenditures and if neces-
sary distributing the extra expense
over period of several years
At present the state does not have
a dollar bonded debt. AS a result of
this condition, Kansas banks would
greedily seize the emergency bonds at
a nominal interest rate. Money need
ed by state institutions and depart
ments would be available as soon as
the bonds were issued.
When the fiscal year ended June
80, 1917, the state penitentiary was
carrying a deficit of $4,000 and sew
eral other institutions and depart
ments were unable to pay bills from
their appropriations. Expenses of
department during the last six months
have been greater than their proper
Tomato appropriations, indicating gen
eral deficits next June.
Due to the III. C. of l..
The conditions are not due to poor
business management, but to an I'M
precedented increase in cost of all
commodities. Many of the large
wholesale houses which have sold sup
plies to the state in former years, have
recently refused to bid for contracts.
! Their refusal has been based on the
inability of some of the institutions to
pay their bills when due.
Increased cost of living is another
problem. Some of the departments
have recently encountered salary trou-
bles- Because of the existing salary
schedules, the state civil service COM
mission was recently able to interest
but seven persons in their examina-
| tons for stenographers. A year ago
more than sixty persons sought the
stGte jobs.
At present the home guard work of
the state is being handled without a
dollar of state money available. A
very limited amount is being used
from the funds of the adjutant gem
erals office. Until the legislature
makes some provision, however, there
is no state aid for the 10 home guard
organizations in Kansas.

sizes and then ALTERED to fit. "
Outside the moving of a but
ton or a buckle and the slight
stretching of a part that may
bind, the shoe is fitted for the
size and shape foot it is to
adorn before it leaves the fac
tory.
Under the name shoes,
boots, sandals, ETC., footwear
was made and worn centuries
before civilization reached
these shores. Probably the
use of leather as the principle
material used for footwear be-
gan with prehistoric man. who
made use of the skins of ami
mails he killed, placing the soft
fur side next the sole of his
foot with the tough leather
on the outside and held in
place with strips of leather
thongs, affording a rough pro-
lection against the rocks and
briarS which Strewed his path.
Like all other articles of ap-
parel, shoes have passed
through stages where the de-
mandS of style called for ex-
aggerations TO the point of the
ridiculous. In ancient times
the tendency turned to toes so
long that they curled up to an
extent where it was neceS-
sary to fasten them With a
chain to a bandl at the knee,
and it was necessary to enact
laws forbidding the wearing
of such footwear before it was
possible to abolish such styles.
Today we are more practical
in our dress and the most
stylish footwear is designed
along lines that are as conf
Portable as correct" (accord-
ing 10 the style mandates of
the hour). However, We
escaped from the tortuouS
toe of needle-like sharpness
only a decade or so ago, and
