 Trial at Wichita

Wichita, Kas., Sept. Exchanged with cons piracy against the United States in an indictment which also contains a moral indictment of the governing officials and all members of the l. w. w. as "conspiring during the period of war to overthrow the government of the United States" cases against 38 members of the or 'ganization were called in federal court before Judge John c. Pollock here to- day. The case, originated in 1918 and twice continued, is said by Fred Robertson, of Kansas City, Kas., dis trict attorney, to be the first federal case charging "the I. w. w., through it's secretary, William D. Haywood and other officials and members, un- der so broad a moral indictment, with revolution and anarchism."

WOman's Dress in England Going Up
 That Is, in Price

London, Sept. 22-The trappings which the fashionable Englishwoman must have are becoming more luxu- rious almost every week, the latest instance being the dictum that um- brella and handbag must match.
 Tortoise-shell and ivory fittings are the favorite choice for silk umbrellas and bags, and with ivory, bottle green silk is liked for it's old-world effect.
 Both ivory and tortoise-shell are costly, which may account for their popularity, but ivory is the higher priced. An umbrella fitted with a solid stick, surmounted by ball, will cost $50 and a bag as much more Both umbrella and bag are, as rule finished with the owners initials, at an additional cost of $7.50.
 In the country and at the seaside cretonne covered sunshades, with handbag to match, are popular. The sunshades are domeshaped, and are patterned with Chinese garden, pa goda, large bird and flower effects Bags, commodious enough to carry a stockinette bathing suit, needlework knitting or crochet, and even light luncheon, accompany the sunshade the wearer slipping the composition bracelet handle over her wrist.

Dandruff Soon
 Ruins The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruf, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't.
 It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it&out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re- tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruf will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails,

Gen. FOch Stirred British by Appeal
 To Old Prejudice

Paris, Sept. 23.--(Correspondence
 of The Associated Press)-An appeal to the British soldiers dictated by the
 then General Foch asking them to
 remember their forefathers' victory over Napoleon inspired them to at tack the Germans and recover the
 ground they had lost before the gas : wave at the second battle of Ypres,
 writes Colonel Feyler in the Journal . De Geneve.
 Before the asphyxiating gas both
 British and French had been obliged to give ground. The then General Foch intended to recover the former
 positions at all costs, according to Colonel Feyler. He asked General Sir John French to cooperate with
 him. Impossible" replied French. ''my men are ready to hold here but
 I do not feel that I can demand of them in their present condition fur ther sacrifices in attacking"
 Foch expressed surprise: "rhelr morale is low," he said, "why don't you launch a proclamation Some thing like this: British soldiers for ward. You who have vanquished the great Napoleon, shall it come to pass that you will permit the lowly Ger man to drive you from your positions
 and retain them *'"
 "How is that?" asked French great ly interested. "Please repeat it." And
 at the dictation of Foch, French wrote out the proclamation which was given out to the troops the next day. The next morning the British sol l diers hit the line and recovered all i the lost ground.

Decide on What is
 Intoxicating Drink

San Juan, P. R., Sept. 22-The final test regarding the sale of alcoholic drinks in Porto Rico will be as to their intoxicating qualities and not as to the percentage of alcohol contain ed, according to decision just hand ed down by Judge Hamilton in the Federal Court here.
 The decision was in the case brought by the United States District Attorney against the Porto Rico Brewing company for the sale of a quantity of beer admitted to contain 2h per cent alcohol as authorized by the legislature following the prohibit ton vote in 1917.
 Judge Hamilton ruled that the Dis trict Attorney must prove that the drink is intoxicating. Many tests of the beer have reported to have been made by the local authorities to as- certain whether it intoxicates.

Bolsheviki Agents
 No Longer Efficient

London, Aug. 27-(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press)--The international agents who are watch ing the Bolshevik leaders believe they have now so isolated them from the world that they are no longer efficient in the spread of their dangerous propaganda.
 Direct communication betweeen the Bolsheviki and their agents abroad is being rendered increasingly difficult. Four months have elapsed since the last direct communication from the Bolshevik leaders in Russia reached their fellows here.
 A Swede brought $30,000 here re- gently for Bolshevik purposes. Five minutes after he delivered the money to an agent in London he was in cus- tody. A Scotland Yard man was close to him during the whole of his journey to England.

Dock Congestion is
 One Cause of H. C. l..

London, Sept. 22-One cause for the high price of living, against which all London is complaining, is given as the congestion at the docks where whole cargoes of food and other sup plies are being held up because it is impossible to unload and distribute them to points where they are need- ed. Government occupancy of ware houses is given as the principal rea- son for the congestion.
 The western granary which should be filled with provisions for London is filled with uniforms for the Austral- ian army, and other instances equal ly irritating to the average Londoner are being cited.

words:

There were no war savings stamps in Lin

indicated by the foregoing.
War savings stamps have simplifed saving

we are doing more than lending money to the
government We are letting the Illinois boys

not with mere ag-waving and loud words, but
with money.
Proper application of the principle behind
the savings stamp will make Illinois as
great leader in this movement as it was in
emancipation.

Had he been working for a private en-
ployer the state liability law would have pro-
tected his family. But counties do not come
under the terms of this act and they have no
liability funds.
No other sheriff in this county had been
killed in the line of duty and the risk the Office
carried was popularity supposed to be almost
negligible. Yet before he had been sheriff

the hazard the Office carries.
During period of years the sheriff's COM

the risk. Wigers, however, had not drawn

least as much for them as Moline.

Manufacturers of road making material,
meaning chiefly the cement makers, do not pro-
pose to lose anything through Illinois hard
roads enterprise. This much already has been
made clear at Springfield, where state highway
engineers have been endeavoring to get quo
tations on supplies with view of early
beginning of the 1000 miles of road. to build
which bonds will be issued.
Manufacturers approached are coy. They
remind the inquirers that labor is costly and
freight rates are high and they really don't
see how they can turn out their goods for less
than the prevailing wartime prices.
1t Is perfectly clear that il the state is held
up for cement and other material at prevailing
figures the $50, 000,000 that will be available
will fall SO far short of providing the mileage
of roads that was planned that it will not be
practicable to undertake the work.
There are two courses open. One is to
postpone the enterprise till the manufacturers
are more favorably disposed. The other is for
the state to go into the manufacturing business
Naturally everybody is anxious to begin OPP
erations soon possible to give work for
idle men, and the plan to lay the highway pro-
gram over for year does not meet with ap-

hard roads and get them now it is believed the
people would rather money lost making

profits to uoauufa cturers

German Folly.

Germany being Germany still, it will not be
surprising if things happen which force the
United States and it's allies to be more severe
in their final settlement than they had expected
to be. It isn't likely that the banishing of the
kaiser and others of the ruling class did away
with all Observation-Disclosures beyond the Rhine
There have been too many evidences of political
Incompetence to attribute all of them to the
ruling faction.
The worst bIunder the Germans are making
is in believing their erstwhile leaders who told
them they were not whipped. They have got
to realize it sooner or later and the sooner the
better for them. If they do not get rid of their
arrogance it will be taken out of them. The
United States may hesitate over the operation,
