A. E. F. and Women Must Be
Considered by Politicians.
Many Candidates Jockeying for
Advantage at Present Time.
ALL MEN CANDIDATE LIST?
There's One for All Political
Plums in County.
Contests for Sheriff, Attorney,
Clerk and Other Offices.

With one absolutely new factor and
one comparatively fresh element en-
tering into county politics Jockeying
among politicians for first advantage
in the coming primary fight is early
this year. Already numerous candi-
dates have announced themselves as
willing to sacrifice themselves for the
public welfare and accept a county Of
flee II the voters will cast sufficient
ballots in their favor.
The new factor this year is the A.
E. F. vote. Just how far the soldier
vote will carry a candidate and the
extent of the unity among discharged
soldiers is a mystery The fact that
two A. E. F. men have jumped into
the race early and a third Is looked
upon as ready to take the plunge indi-
Gates there is considerable faith in the
power of a war record to seat a man
in a swivel chair in the court house
for two years.
Don't Forget Women.
The amount of representation in
county offices that women will de-
mand is another proposition to be con-
sidered in Shawnee county politics.
Mrs. Mary Chaplin, clerk of the dis
trict court, was the first woman to be
elected to a county office. Thruou,
| Kansas it seems to be generally ac-
cepted that either the office of clerk
| of the district court or register OF
| deeds goes to the petticoated voters oi
| today and each election finds addition
al feminine names in the roster oi
clerks of the district court and register
| of deeds.
Despite this fact there is every indi.
cation that men intend to demand ev.
cry office in the court house at tht
coming primary. William Anderson
| former stenographer for the county
attorney and recently discharged from
| the judge advocates department a.
Newport News, is known to be covet
ing this office. Mrs. Chaplin has helt
the office twice and while she has no
announced her intention to run for g
third term, her candidacy is looked
| upon as a possibility.
Big Fight for Clerk.
! During her tenure of office Mrs
Chaplin has with one exception en-
ployed women exclusively as clerks II
| the office. AS to whether the womer
voters will be content to vote and
| fight for men candidates in all offices
is problematical. Oran Layton, reg
| lister of deeds, Is enjoying his frs
term and it is not considered probable
an attempt will be made by eithel
men or women to fight him for q
second term. So IL the women intend
to make a fight for representation ir
| county offices the battle promises tt
| be for Mrs. Chapin's office.
Several attorneys have asked Mrs
Chaplin to he a candidate again.
The war hero and the man too ole
! to go to war are engaged in lively

A DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANEEIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
uun process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to scmi-Hqmd form.
In 1855 Horlick at Racine, Wis, dis
covered how to reduce milk to dry
po1rder form with extract of matted
grains, zrithont cane sugar.
This product HoRLlck named
Matted MILK. (Name since copied
by others Its nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.

AUTO THIEVES ACTIVE
They Have Gotten 100000 Worth OF
Cars in Thirty Days.

Cars in Thirty Days.
Within the past thirty days over
100000 worth of automobiles have
been stolen in the state of Kansas
alone and of these only a very small
percentage have been recovered. OF
this loss to the public, AZ per cent Is
confined to the smaller towns and the
rural districts and 5s per cent to the
cities.
These facts are furnished by the in
surance companies to the Anti-Auto-
mobile Thief Association of America
and they have been made public in
connection with the announcement OF
two of the insurance companies no.
tifying the public that auto theft. in
surance would no longer be written
by them. One of the insurance COM
panies announces that its losses have
amounted to over $3S,0O0 and 1t issues
public appeal for assistance.
The gangs of organized thieves
which are invading the rural districts
and the smaller towns are likely to be
augmented during the harvest time
and in the weeks following. Many
cars will be spotted" for theft dur
ing the coming fortnight, but may not
be taken until several weeks later, the
police say.
Organizations to prevent auto
theft are being formed in many coun-
ties and meeting with great success.

Proper Thing Now Is to
Peel OFF Soiled Skin

streaked complications should religiousiy
avoid creams. powders and rouges during
the heated days. There's no need for
them, anyway, since the virtues of merco-
lized wax have become known. No amount
of Precipitation will produce any evidence
that you've been using the wax. AS it is
applied at bedtime and washed off in the
morning, the complexion never looks like
a makeup. Mercolized wax gradually

none of the disadvantages of cosmetics

Blight Danger Is About Over,
r. B. Cummings Says.
Crops Around Topeka Were
Hit the Hardest.

Large 1t Is Said.
Sunshine Was the Savior OF
Many Growers.

r. B. Cunningham, division freight
agent of the Santa Fe railway. today
completed an inspection of the potato
fields in the Kaw valley and reports
that the blight. which threatened to
demolish the crop of spuds this year,
has run its course without inflicting
great damage.
Only a few fields. comparatively.
were hit, altho the blight would have
been more serious If the wet weather
had continued a few weeks longer
The hardest hit area was within a
radius of a few miles of Topeka. The
blight attacked very early paintings.
Pugh Farm Suffered.
The farm of B. H. Pugh. four miles
east of Topeka, suffered the most. He
has 1S0 acres in potatoes, and the
blight attacked one forty-acre patch.
The bright sunshine has knocked the
sails out of the blight on Pugh's place.
A few acres, Pugh declares. will be
damaged twenty-five per cent but
even his forty acre field. where the
blight got in its work. will produce
from 1875 to $50 bushels to the acre.
Despite the blight. which was un-
able to get in its evil work thoroly be-
cause of Old Sol, the crop in the Kaw
valley this year will be one of the
most abundant in history. Many of
the rich patches along the river will
produce from $50 to 800 bushels OF
potatoes to the acre. The valley. long
famed for its potato crop, will outdo
itself this year. Figures obtained by
Cunningham, and other railroad, Off
cials, show that in the majority OF
places the spud yield will be excep-
tional.
