a caprice of the extremists; it is no longer a sensational bit of gravado. The war has instated 1t as a strong fashion. Women with gray hair wear bobbed to the nape of the neck or cprled under to appear as though It were cut. Girls with every shade of hair wear it. Matrons with half grown children adopt it. So the mill liners, after frantic wringing of the hands, have decided that they must meet this new demand. There must be large and cre1uve impulse for hats that will go with this Florentine ooiffure.

at Franklin, Mass. The goats of this
breed are small and are imported
from Switzerland.
Finding that the goats milk was
preferred by his family to-that Of his

Topekans Take Part in Big Oil Boost

Harrington, Kan, Sept. 2O.-If there
is as much oil in the field around
Herington as there was enthusiasm
in the meeting held here last night the
fields of Elbing, Peabody and FL
dorado will look like dirty deuce In
a muchly talcumed deck. The meet
ing was held ostensibly as a get ac-
quainted meeting-for the older bust
ness men to get acquainted with the
new men who have opened various
business houses here and with the
men who are here devoting their time
and their money to the prospecting
for oil. 1t was also a farewell for the
retiring secretary.
The city of Harrington and the citi-
zens of the town have imbibed a new
spirit since the oil men came. The
Herington Business Mems club has
taken a new lease on life. The former
secretary has been called away and
the new secretary. VIM. J. Scott. an
attorney, is organizing a big campaign
to advertise the merits of the town.
Several Topeka citizens were on the
program. The w. o. Anderson Com
mission house recently has established
branch here. Mr.. Anderson in
tended being here but business called
him elsewhere. However, his local
manager responded for him and made
a talk which was filled with solid
facts and good wholesome advice. The
people of Harrington like Jack Rear
don-like him we'll enough that for
two years he has carried away orders
from the town that eventually landed
the branch house here.
Earl Akers was another Topekan
who took part in the program,
making a decided hit. Akers brought
with him another Topeka banker,
Richard Lac, and between the two of
them it finally developed that they
had some four or five hundred acres
under lease here.
Another Topekan who entertained
the crowd with some good sound logic
was Charles Elliott. who spoke on
Home Building Plans" A movement

Elliott has examined the plans and
openly pronounced them as being a
step in the right direction.
D. z. Lamb closed the meeting and
took occasion to refer to the help this
community had been in the upbuild-
ing of Topeka. He called attention to
the fact that Harrington had produced
the following who are now citizens of
the capital city: Bill Billy, Frank

Central and some of the eastern states,
have gone into the breeding of milch
goats and tie enterprise is proving
highly successful.
California has several goat diaries
where the milk supplies the infant
trade exclusively. bringing 35 cents a
quart.
In other parts OF the United States
the price ranges from 10 cents to SO
cents per quart. The milk is very
rich, testing from 4 to Q per cent but

For children Of all ages and for In
valids, goat milk is to be preferred
as It is easily digested and highly nu-
tritious. Coats milk is recommended
by physicians in cases of Indigestion
and stomach trouble and is sometimes
used to the exclusion OF medicine.
The goat is immune TO tuberculosis
and the milk is in demand by hospitals
and sanitariums on account of its
health-giving qualities.
Use In Foreign Countries.
Travellers in foreign countries have
become accustomed to the goat as a
domestic animal. Egypt, Asia, India
and the European countries have for
centuries known Hhe value of goats as
domestic animals and goats milk has
from earliest times been an important
food for the inhabitants of these coun-
tries.
In eastern Europe. in Czecho-Slo-

tirely stripped OF its cattle during the
four years Of war. and now the goat,
formerly kept only by the very poor,

OBLIGATED TO EUROPE?
Henry Wise Wood Of New York Tells
of EngIishmnn's Visit

of Englishmnn's Visit.
Editor State Journal:
The following incident may throw
vocacy of the projected League of Ma
tons which is so pronounced in influ-
entail financial circles. I relate 1t pre-
cisely as it occurred:
Early last May there called upon
me at my office a Mr.. J. J. O'Neiu.
whose engraved card described him as
Guardian, of Manchester, England.
Mr.. O'Neill, who was a stranger to me.
Immediately introduced the subject of
the League OF Nations and took me to
task because of my opposition to that
project. Upon inquiring of him why
an Englishman should be in this coun-
try instructing an American in the lat
ter's national duty, and receiving no
clear answer. / asked him bluntly
what was the actual purpose of his
visit to the United States. He reulied
that he was here upon a mission con-
nected wit hthe INSTRUMENTATION of
the war debt. / asked him II he
meant me to understand hat~he was
here upon the business of inducing the
United States to guarantee the war
debt of the nations recently at war.

was. I told him that he would find
little sentiment in this country favor
able to such a project. This seemed
to surprise him; he said that was the
first American he had met who did
not favor II. then asked him whom
he had seen, and he replied that upon
the urevieus day he had seen Mr.. J.
p Morgan, and that Mr.. Morgan had
expressed himself as being in favor of
the plan.
Whether this hwas or was not a
correct statement of Mr.. Morgan's po-
sition I have no means Of knowing.
But ii might be valuable at this time
to inquire publicly what plans. II any,
are afoot to induce Europe's proposed
newS partner--the United States--to
assume the obligations of the finan-
cially hard-hit members of the pro-
jected partnership, who are about
to open the business OF pooling their
troubles under the title OF the League
OF Nations.

The camping ground at Gage park
proved a popular place to the tourists
that motored thru Topeka during the
summer months, according to Robert
d. McGiffert, city commissioner.
The list kept by f. F. A Reinisch,
park superintendent, indicates that
there were About ESQ persons camped
there at various times. This figure is
no doubt far below what actually oc-

parties from which no record was OBJ
tanned. During fair week no record
was kept at all, but in hat short
space of time there were more motor
parties camping at the park than
there were during all the rest of the
summer months,
The record indicates that there
were seventy:two parties composed of
from one to twelve persons. They
were from all parts of the United
States. from New York to California
and from the southern coast to the

The largest party had twelve mem
bers. They were two doctors from
Lowry, Mo-, and their families.
From Both Coasts.
Each coast, both east and west. had
representatives at the Gage camping
ground. There were Mr.. and Mrs. H.
II. Rice, of New York, and Mr.. and
Mrs. George Daley, of Long Beach,
Cal, which goes to show that it is
always where you are not that you
want to be. Coast people como in
land for vacations and inland people
want to go to the coast when their
turn comes.
To show how far many of these
parties were from home a list OF a
few of the cities farthest away is
given: Sioux Falls.-S. D.; Columbus,

Many of these parties liked IT SO

there a week. All were compliment

tractiveness and usefulness of the
park.
Aside from the camping parties
from other states there were many
parties of Topeka people who pitched
tents at the park. A large number of
families used it as a summer resort.
