When the sun shines and the streets become dusty, you wish it would rain; when it rains and the streets become muddy, you wish the sun would shine. Af- ter you are married you wish you were single, and if you get a new dress you wish you had a new hat to match it; if it is a boy you wish it was a girl-was human nature ever satisfied? Guess not and glad of it, for then there would be nothing to "kick" about.

There have been many war heroes. sOut there is certainly no more conSpic- -aously heroic figure than John Fl. Clifford, Bar tist minister in time of peace, but real fighter in time of war, who has been awarded the crOix de guerre for extraordinary herOism in action.
 John Clifford, as Y. M. c. A. worker, braved the red wrath of war. He has been in the firing zone as much as the hardest infantryman and was decorated for a most unusual eX- p1oit. He was one of three men who braved inceSSant enemy shell fire

There are two ways of spend- ing a dollar. You can spend it at home, gain an easy con- science, make another friend and perhaps get dollar back tomorrow or you send it away feel that you have sinned, of fend the home merchant and forever lose the dollar and the blessed influence for good to yourself and neighbor- and it should be remembered by the merchant that this rule works backward also. Many are the dollars which merchants send out of town that might much better be spent at home.

"The prosperity of a town is not guarded by the wealth of it's inhabitans, but by the uni formity with which they pull together when any important undertaking is to be accom- plished. A man with a thousand dollar at his command and a love for his town in his heart, can do more for the building up and improving of it than the man of large means who locks up his capital and snaps his fingers at home progress.

FASHION NOTES

There is such a charming va riety of suit styles for spring that every woman will be able to find expression of her ow'n individuality.
 Very smart and youthful are the short loose-hanging box models.
 Many of the suits are grace fully trimmed with braid, cor duroy or embroidery Others are button-trimmed and still others are more simple of out line and are worn with white or bright-colored vests or vest ees, making a most attractive contrast.

and care to the graceful lines of the tailor-made.
 While simplicity is the key note this simplicity finds it's expression in outline. One of the predominating features of these tailormade suits is a graceful, long rolling collar, so fashioned to display smart vestees or blouses, which are so becoming and fascinating.
 In coats, a new silhouette has made it's appearance. This sill houette finds it's expression in the Dolman coats and capes, which are built on loose-hang- ing, graceful lines, tapering slightly at the bottom. So smart and comfortable and be- coming are these new models that it is doubtful if you will find one we'll dressed woman who does not include a wrap of this type in her wardrobe.
 This does not mean that the smart street and utility coats will be abandoned, for never has there been a more attract i've display of this type of gar ment, combining the qualities of smartness and practicability.
 Many of these coats are mod lfications of the Dolman, with loose-hanging backs and belt ed fronts.

SOIL IN GOOD CONDITION
Rains Have Made Sections of Kan
s;ls Ideal for Flowing.

BY S. D. FLORA, METEOROLOGIST
Fine early fall weather prevailed
over. Kansas until the closing days of
this week, with general showers IN the
northeastern quarter and some heavy
rains in the north-central counties,
where they were least needed, but the
southeastern and south central por-
tions are still greatly in need of mois-
ture and the ground there so hard and
dry ii is Impossible to get a good seed
bed until soaking rains fall. Light
frost occurred in several localities the
fore part of he week, but no damage
was done.
The soil in the three northern tiers
of counties and also the western third
of the state IS now in fine condition
for plowing and seeding and from 10
to rs per cent of the wheat in those
to come up nicely. A few western
counties, however. report that seeding
is being delayed on account of grass
hoppers being too thick. Some wheat
is also being sown in the south-cen-
trail counties, but this work has not
started in the southeastern portion of
the state. Reports indicate that the
acreage soWn to wheat will be much
less this year than last in the eastern
half of the state. at least, many coun-
ties reporting that it will be so per
cent less.
NOT more IIidn D TO III per cent OF
wheat remains to be threshed in the
eastern half and 40 to so per cent of
this work, is not done in the north
western counties.
In the eastern two-thirds of the
state corn has generally turned brown
and about all that will be cut is now
in the shock er- silo. Grain sorghums
are a little later and from fourth
to half of them are not cut yet. IN
the western third cutting forage crops
is just getting under way
Broom corn pulling is practically
finished in the southwestern counties.
Cutting the last crop of alfalfa for
the season is in progress in many
parts.
Picking winterd apples is under way

Charges That Statement Was
Made Over Protest.
STENOGRAPHER TELLS STORY

Charges that Hamilton Hogan

Fisher, county attorney. over Hogan's
protest that he wanted his attorney
present, were made in court today in
the fourth day of the murder trial.
Hogan took the stand himself to tell
the jury that Fisher frightened him,
dictated the confession and had him
sign 1t. Hogan stated that he forgot
everything which appeared in the con-
fession.
Miss Mildred Rogers. stenographer
in the county attorneys office, admit

but declared Fisher told Hogan to
speak up II anything he dictated We're
wrong. This. Miss Rogers testified.
Hogan did several times and correc-
tions were made in accordance with
Hogan's request.
Bob Miller, undersheriff admitted
that at first Hogan demurred to MAX
ing a confession. the second in two
days, and that Fisher pointed TO plat
of the scene of the shooting and asked
Hogan questions which finally led to
the confession presented to the jury.
The first confession obtained by Sher-

clared he couldn't get conviction
from that confession and obtained the
second one.

WASH OUT RED TAPE
Topeka Labor Unions in New Emerg
ency Meeting Plan.


The recent disaster on the gulf
coast and the attendant appeal of the
stricken cities for immediate aid was
the final event which brought to a
head the plan, to make the Topeka
labor unions into a better oiled ma
chine.
The war drives were the first calls
which brought the matter of more
close organization between unions for
emergency operation before the To-
peka locals. And as Topeka unions
with one or two exceptions employ no
emergencies. the Topeka Industrial
council as a whole has worked out a
plan for the closer cooperation.
A resolution was introduced at a
recent meeting of the executive COM
mittees of more than forty Topeka To-
Gals in which it was planned that the
executive committee of each local be
empowered to call special meetings of
the locals whenever a sudden need
arose. The gulf coast disaster and the
appeal of the cities for aid was cited.
The gulf towns appealed for aid to
Topeka. The committee in charge of
the disaster fund in Topeka appealed
to the Industrial council to take the
matter up. The council gave a sum
of money Immediately, but because of
the ponderous machinery of the
unions and the red tape and long waits
some of the unions have still to con-
slider the matter.
The present plan, which 1t is ex-
pected will meet the approval of the
locals provides that in case of a sud-
den appeal special meeting of the
locals can be called to meet the emer-
gency.
