SEPTEMBER A WARM MONTH
Temperatures Were Above Normal
for the First Fifteen Days, the
Weather Bureau reports.

The month just closed was one OF
the warmest SeptembeTs ever expert
enced in Kansas, with record break
ing rains in the north-central and
many western counties, but severe
drought all month iii the southern
tIal and southeastern portions of the
state.
Temperatures were above normal
almost continuously the first fifteen
days and there was very little ram
until after the middle :1f the month.
On the 9Th and 10th temperatures Of
100 degrees or higher were general,
the highest reported being los de-
grees at Norwich on the 9Th The cool
est weather occurred on the 23d, when
the thermometer fell to % degrees,
with a light freeze at BlakemaD,
though no particular damage was re-
ported. A few very light frosts oc-
currel that morning in other parts OF
the state
The average rainfall over the east
ern third of the state was 1.9S inches;
the middle third, 2.64 inches; the
western third, 3.57 inches; and for
the entire state, 2.64 inches, which is
0.28 inch below normal 1t was the
seventh driest September on record
in the eastern third and, with one
exception, the wettest September on
record in the western third. Great
downpours on the 18th and 18th in
the Solomon and Republican River
valleys, especially the former, start
ed disastrous floods. On the other
hand about twenty counties located
in the south-central portion and along
the Oklahoma border from Meade
County east had less than an inch
Of rain during the entire month and
several less than quarter of an inch.
The heaviest monthly amount report
ed was 9.02 inches at Burr Oak, in
Jewell County, and the least O13 inch
at Coldwater, in Comanche County
Corn and grain sorghums matured
rapidly in the eastern two-thirds of
the state the forepart of the month
and by its close most of the forage
crops were either in the shock or
silo, except in the extreme western
counties, where cutting was well I'm.

Sales Manager and Former OFFICER Of
Standard Four Tire Company
Leaves It Suddenly
Without Notice.
HE GIVES IT NO REASON
OFFICERS Of Company Say Action Is
Surprise to Them, as He Was
Recently Put on Execu-
tive Committee.

E. S. Phillips has resigned as sales
manager of the Standard -Four Tire
company.
4 His action was surprise to the
management, an officer Of ~ COM
lpany said today, and this Is corro-
borated by the fact that only day be-
fore yesterday he was appointed one
| Of an executive committee to guide
1.-THE company until a new general
manager to succeed C., j. Kirch could
! be secured.
1t was also stated that Mr.. Phillips
gave the company no reason for his
resignation, and that it has no know
ledge Of what he is going to do now.
He left the Standard Four company
on his own motion, 1t was announced
tat the company offices, as the COM
pany management was well satisfied
with the work he was doing in his
department.
| The executive committee appointed
by the directors at the meeting last
Tuesday was made to consist of
President J. B. Gabelfne, Edward A
French J. N. d. Dickinson, Mr., Phil
| lips and c. F. Mcfarland with Mr..
Mcfarland as chairman.
/ They Praise Him Highly.
"Mr Phillips was bard worker
and as full Of plans rs M egg is of
meat said c. F. McFar.an this
morning, land he has been 0f great
value to the company in It's torma-
tive period.
He is an enthusiast and an en-
thuser, and much of the. rapid filan-
cial growth of the company is due
to his work. Mr.. Phillips has not
told US of his plans for the future.
nor just what has caused him to
make this move at this time, but the
chances are that he felt that his
work here was, in a manner, done,
and that other things of greater in
terest to him than the ordinary
grind Of going concern were call
ing him.
'In view of this, and other recent
changes in the personnel of the man
agement forces at the factory, 1t is a
matter of congratulation that the
business is SO large and well organ
lied that even changes such as this
one do not affect it's steady and sue
cessful operation.
Company in Fine Shape.
':There are few companies in such
an excellent condition from a finan-
cial and business standpoint.
"The business is growing steadily
and the two months of January and
February which have been figured
up, have been. the most profitable
ones we have ever had.
plans are being pushed for an in
crease in the plant, and bids will be
asked soon on the addition to the
building"
This addition to the plant will
double its capacity and enable it to
make the thousand tires day which
it could sell now, If it could make
them.
| Nothing was given out as to the
successor to Mr.. Phillips as sales
manager, and the company officers
here seemed to be genuine surprised
at his action in resigning.

The Ideal Woman.

The great Napoleon once said: MY
ideal woman is not the beautiful
featured society bells. whose physl-
clan tries in vain to keep her in re-
pair, but the matron who reaches
middle age In complete preservation,
that woman is rendered beautiful
by perfect health" To attain such
health In middle life woman must
guard against those ills which drag
her down and produce nervousness,
hea dache, backaches, sleeplessness
and "the blues The standard
remedy for such conditions is Lydia
'E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
which for forty-flve years has been
restoring women to health and

REFERRED TO
CIVIC. LEAGUE
A Mere Man Who Has Lived Long in
keokuk Thinks Some Thoughts,
But Is Afraid Of the
Women,

"While you are mentioning the dis
,cussion about what kind of trees to
plant out Main street." said an old
resident of Keokuk this morning
you might say that citizen hopes
that after the trees are planted they
will be taken care of better than the
ones on the boulevard.
"They planted those trees along
.Belknap boulevard all right and then
left them to take care of themselves,
and everybody can see the result.
They need trimming right now.
Il hope the Civic league won't
merely have some trees planted in
upper Main street and leave them to
somebody else to take care of and
lose all interest in them, SO far as
work On them, is concerned.
But whatever you do, don't use
my name. There's no living in the
same town with bunch of women
if you find the least fault with any
thing they do, or suggest that they
may be mistaken, you know"
All the evidence is that the Civic
league will not only manage the
planting OF the colonnade of trees,
but take care of them in future
years, so that mere man seems to be
shooting at scarecrow of his own
manufacture. The city prepares the
grade before the trees are planted,
exactly as it gives the grade to
man who wants to build sidewalk;
but the planting and caring for the
trees will be in the capable hands of
the Civic league, as things stand
now.

The Old River Men Have It Figured

among the old river men, this is to

prediction. OF course, they say, If
there are unusually heavy rains in

They point to the fact that there
