REMOVING TRADE RESTRAINT.

That trade which had been restrict ed as the result of the war is bound to be revived is not to be questioned. It has already begun tugging at the ropes and 1t can be expected that it will bound forth now that the supreme economic council at Paris has abol- ished the blacklists, the licensing sys- tenn and the rati0ning system in trade between allied and neutral countries.
 It was not with the idea of working harm upon the neutrals that they placed the restrictions. It was neces- sary as a matter of self protection since the enemy was getting the bene- fit of allied goods which were being sent through neutral ports. Thus in order to block the enemy it became necessary to impose restrictions which would keep such trade within bounds. The time has not yet arrived when all such bars can be let down. It will come in time but meanwhile it is pos- sible to lower a certain number of them and this will permit of a re- sumption of the unobstructed S cem-

VIRGINIA'S MANY SUIT0RS

r There's somethingeI should like 10 ask said the father of Virginia, and that is, what virtues doeS- the modern girl demand in the man she marries'"
 The mother of Virginia laid down her magazine and stared.
 Why, dear, are you trying, to fix up match between our daughter and some nice son Of an oli friend of yours, Or something? l don't mind saying that I think you will find our daughter not very ameable ito such parental interference"
 Nothing of the kind" returned the father of Virginia. T was only thinking of Virgie's comments at. the dinner table tonight. You remember we were talking about young Blythe, that tall person she's been going about with so much lately Quite an accomplished pianist in an amateur way, from what I hear from tired fathers who are being &llept awake nightly by his. musical endeavors wherever the crowd happens to have gathered for the evening. Tonight Virgie was saying, T think Harry piano so we'll Just as if an emotional rendering of Smiles were the acme of masculine achievement"
 The father of Virginia warmed to his subject vt
 q wonder" he continued, if you remember by any chance, one Tom, of two summers ago? The one with the gaudy hatbands? I'm so proud of Tom, Virgie would say, He plays such a good game of tennis"
 Then last winter there was that young Jack Barnes. Jack is per fectly fine fellow, he's such good dancer.' was' our daughters high praise of this suitor.
 And last summer there were in numerable perfect specimens of man. hood hanging about cur hammock swung front porch at the cottage we rented so that we could be peaceful and alone during my vacation. i'm certainly going to like Mir Forrest, daughter Virginia would say; he is such wonderful swimmer. He is teaching me. and to think that I used to be so afraid Of the Water!'
 And later on it was that tortoise shell trimmed college professor. Vir- ginia was just sdre they were going to be great friends. They had SC many literary tastes in common.

PROTECTING THE CHILDREN.

Commencing today the new revenue tax on the products of child labor goes into effect. How much revenue the country will receive from this source will depend upon the willing ness of industries which are employ ing children to submit to it. As matter of fact the law was not pass ed for the purpose of enriching the federal treasury off of the labor of children. It is intended rather to bring about reduction of child la Dor through federal law in states which have refused to give the proper protection to their children.
 When it was declared by the United States supreme court that the federal child labor law was unconstitutional it was realized that the same ends could be obtained by other legislation and the taxation of industries which insist upon employing children was decided upon with the belief that the exaction of ten per cent. tax on the net profits of any concern employing children under the specified ages of f6 in mines or quarries. and If in mills, eanneries, workshops and fac tories will fall so heavily upon such employers that they will be unwilling to meet it and will consequently ex- clude such children from their em- ploy.
 In most of the states, there are laws at the present time which prevent such employment but there are others whege nothing stands in the way of aIaxr portunity is denied children and where there is little promise of an early change, Such conditions are decidedly unjust and 1t is unfortunate that they have been allowed to exist as long as they have. For that reason the fed eral taxation of the products of such labor is move that promises to ac- complish the long needed reform.

Potatoes require d we'll prepared. rich soil, and it pays to us commercial fertilizer. well mixed with the soil of the hills or the rows. The seed should be cut two eyes to each piece. with plenty of po- tato attached. One piece should be planted in each hill and covered to a depth of about three and one half or four inches. The rows should be at least Ihirty inches apart and the hills

Early Irish potatoes may be planted little before or about the time the last spring frost occurs. This will give them an opportunity to make a start and reach the surface of the ground by warm weather. Irish potatoes require frequent cultivation and should be gradually hilled up to for a bed. Large quantities of manure should not be used. Great care should be taken to avoid seed affected by scab disease, as this disease develops rapidly and greatly injures tine quality.

PARTICIPATING A GOOD THING.


 the Victory loan should be getting such a favorable reception throughout the country. It is quite evident that the people are determined to see the thing through. The desire was for victory and victory has been secured. It is now the duty of the country to see that the expenses incurred in the huge undertaking are met and the eX- cellent start which has been given this fifth loan makes, it evident that there is interest therein not solely for .patri- otic reasons but because of the gilt edged investment that is offered Here is an opportunity to place funds for an advantageous return, or to purchase on the instalment plan what will not only maintain a high market value but what will provide an interest rate which, considering the security that is back of it. is certain ly attractive. The notes are, not to run for long period and therefore they should appeal more strongly to those of small means who might not desire to tie up their funds for long period of time. while the tax eXemp- tion feature is one that is of decided importance looking at it from any an- gle.
 That these things are all being , taken into consideration is disclosed by the way in which the subscriptions are pouring in. This makes it evi- l dent that the people know q good 1 thing when they see it, and inasmucil as there is te be no oversubscriptions accepted it is being appreciated that | the early requirement of the notes is necessary to insure the possession of such valuable government security. l The fact that this is the last time that the government plans to appeal in this manner to the people for funds emphasizes the need of seeing that as great a success is made of this issue of notes as has characterized the bond | sales in the past

 It will still be necessary to main tain certain embargoes on goods reaching Germany and bolshevik Rus sia, and exports to neutrals bordering thereon will have to go through asso- citations which will guarantee that the goods will not finally land by round about course just where they are. not expected to go. As soon as peace is declared the lifting of the German blockade will get more serious atten- tion that it may receive raw material necessary for it's industrial activity, and in time there will be solution of the Russian situation. but it is not necessary to hold up the trade with neutrals until that time comes. It is time it was resumed and the removal of the restraint is all that is neces- sary to bring it about.

All Topeka owes Ralph Baer a trib
ute. All Kansas will pay it today.
Baer's war record is a thing to be
proud of. From first TO last he has
beqn one of Topeka's most untiring
war workers
When part of the national guard
troops of Kansas were mobili2ing in
Topeka preparatory to entrainment for
Camp Doniphan, Baer was one of the
most active men in the city in provid-
ing entertainment and added comforts
for the men of the commands.
And after the guardsmen had left
for their cantonment and the season
for successive war drives was on in
full force, Baer was made captain of
the solicitation team which canvassed
the North Topeka district. In this
work Baer and his team made Won

ing sent to the treasures of the United
States government, the Red Cross, the
Y. M. c. A, the salvation Army, and
a dozen other organizations thru his
efforts.

And then the first drafted men were
sent from Topeka to the big army
cantonment at Funston 1t was Baer
who took the initiative in giving these
men proper send-off. He organized
parades and entertainments. Dinners
and lunches were served the men.
They were sent away with the feeling
that Topeka really cared, that their
donning of the uniform really meant
something to someone besides their
immediate families.
And these men went overseas, and
fought their battles.
Now the Thirty y-fifth division men
are home from overseas and their
hours of hardship and great trial in
the Argonne wood are over. When
they came Baer was on hand to well
come them. He organized parades

DYNAMITE UNDER SCHOOL
Yeggs Pick "Safe'' Hiding Place at
ElDorado.

El Dorado, May 3O.-Four sticks of
dynamite, a box of caps, several fuses
and other immediate accessories to
create destruction, were found under
the front entrance of the old Lincoln
school building here today. The ar
ticles were all wrapped in a red ban
dana handkerchief, and were found
by a pupil that attends the school.
In connection with the finding of
the dynamite, the announcement was
made public today, that two attempts
were made Sunday evening to crack
the safe in a grocery store in the city.
Both shots failed, however. and the
thieves failed to obtain anything in It,
1t is presumed by the authorities here
that the robbers who attempted to
blow open the safe, hid the dynamite
under the school house, believing that
this was as good a location as any to
place it. The police and sheriff's
forces are cooperating on the Job.
