A REFORM BACKWARD.

There is a movement on foot in
Kansas to substitute annual for bien-
NAL legislative sessions. If a change
were desirable, it is net improbable
that the average citizen would prefer
to have the sessions made quadrennial
rather than annual.
The sentiment is general that there
is entirely too much tinkering with the
statutes and that many of the new
laws enacted at each session are un-
necessary, uncalled for and i'll advised.
That this is true may be due in some
measure to the fact that there is
little attempt at legislation until the
session is nearing its end, and then
it is rushed thru without due con-
sideration.
sessions would improve this long es-
tablished method of procedure.
The legislature of Kansas could
not do a better service to the state
than to devote one entire session to
the repeal of useless and in some cases
wholly Objectionable laws with which
the statute books are encountered.
Public sentiment regarding the leg
islature is plainly manifested every
time there appears a movement for
extending the length of the session or
for calling it together between the
biennial periods. There has not been
an extra session for many years. From
the time our lawmakers convene,
until they adjourn, a feeling of I'M
easiness pervades the state because
nobody can guess what they will do
next. The people always are glad when
the members go home. There has
been no public demand for annual
sessions OF. the legislature and until
such demand shall appear the exist
ing agitation should be dropped

the retailer unless he was doing a
business of hundred thousand dol
loras a year, and few retailers have so
large business. But the law ex-
pressiy provided a penalty for profit
eering, and it was under this profiteer-
ing clause that the food administra-
ton finally found its power. Then
fair price boards were esta blished by
the administration in all communities.
These boards are made up of repre-
sentatives from the three groups in
terested-one to represent the whole
salers, two or three to represent the
retailers an two or three to repre-
sent the consuming public. The lat
ter are usually housewives, labor lead
ers and professional men. The whole
saler reports the prices the retailer
must pay for his staples, and the
profit determined fair by the food
administrator.
Margins of prefit were fixed by a
government commission only after a
careful investigation of business costs.
In every case they have been approved
not only by consumers committees.
but by committees of merchants and
by banking experts.
The food administration is enthusi-
astic in its praise of the spirit in which
both wholesalers and retailers have
cooperated with it, in following these
specified margins of profit. There
have been number of cases, OF
course, where merchants have had to
be deprived of their licenses, but these
have usually been amicably adjusti-
Gated by the merchants contribution

Red Cross and his promise to follow

HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
BIZ MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: / am very
much in love with a man eight years
my senior. I and twenty-four years
old. My family has always consid-
cred me tickle because / would go
with one boy after another, liking
each one in his turn but firing OF him
after a few weeks acquaintance.
1 have gone with this one man fer
eight months and in that time we
have been together a great deal. We
live in the same neighborhood and
walk to and from work together, al
tho we do not work at the same
place. We have also been together
from three to four evenings week.
( love this man because we enjoy so
many things together. Many things
have come up to test his character
and he has always stood the test.
Christmas eve he proposed to me
and I accepted him. The next day
when he told my father. father. and
mother disapproved of our marriage
so much that he promised to wait a
year before even becoming engaged,
He told me that we would be just as
close friends as ever. but he would
!let me have freedom to go with any
one pleased during that time. Then
if still loved him he would marry
me at the end of that time.
It-seems to me he can't love me
very much or he would not be SO
willing to give me up. What do yfu
thing of the case? TROUBLE0
The plan is good since up to this
time you have proved tickle. Con-
geniality is the big test of love and
SO probably you will care just as
much or more at the end of the year.
Marriage is such a serious matter that
your parents and your fiance all want
you to be sure of yourself before you
are TIED by an engagement.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am four
teen years of age and haven't any
mother. 1 like the boys awfully well
and would like to GO with them all.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I received a

What shall do? SORRY
The boy should have known that

Following the close of the war the
people Of this country are called upon
to face new conditions. We shall
need strength to do it. We shall have
an enormous national debt and a
heavy interest charge to meet. We
must face intense competition in the
worlds markets, and we must meet it
successfully. A new economic order
must be worked out that will more
equitably distribute profits The prime
factor in meeting the future is man
power. This must be augmented and
brought to the maximum in value and
efficiency. AS never before, Uncle Sam
will need family of trained and
sturdy workers to help him on his feet.
In the new order there will be no
room for the weak and inefficient. We
must go on or go under. Among the
men called for physical examination

percentage were found with some
minor ailment, of which the Individual
knew nothing, and which could read

An Italian newspaper is quoted as
saying that Italy entered the war with
the same ideals as those of the United
States. Why then, is Italy making a
row about the territory across the

than did, the Central Powers. The

taking sides under the circumstances

overlook possibilities of future adj
