MYRA'S BILL IS IN
Measure Would Repeal City
Manager Law of 1917.
Provides Complete Abolition OF
the Plan in Kansas.
STATE FLAG IS RECOMMENDED
Albert I. Reid's Design APP
proved Over ID. A. r.. Proposal.
Utilities Committee Kills Free
mans Lockout and Strike Bill.

Kansas will say goodbye to the pet
reform of the 1917 legislative session
if the legislature passes a measure Of
fered in the house today by Repre-
sentative Noble of Labette county
Noble wants the city manager law re-
pealed His bill went to the house
hopper today and is due for one of
the warmest little rows of the year
Myra McHenry of Wichita came to
Topeka to fight the city manager law.
The response to her fight came today
when Noble offered the bill setting
aside the law of two years ago. Wich-
tia, 'ElDorado and several other KAN
sas cities have adopted the city m an
ager form of government. A petition
signed by 1900 persons in Wichita
has already been presented to the leg
islature. That petition protests against
the present law.
Under the Noble bill cities nov
operating under the law of two years
ago would return to either the COM
mission or council form of city gov
eminent. 1t would pay its imported
managers in full and send them back
TO Missouri or their former home
towns. Hegler of Wichita is chair
man of the house judiciary commit
tee. 1t is proba ole the Noble bill
will be referred to the judiciary COM
mittee. There is prospect for beau
tiful fight before the committee when
the bill is considered. If it is re-
ported for passage, number OF house
members are waiting patiently to ex-
press their opinions of the reform
law of the 1917 session.
Report New Flag Bill
The house committee on state af-
fairs is ready to make a report on the
state flag bill. 1t became known today
that the committee had sidetracked
the d. A. r. proposal for state BAN
ner and had substituted an Albert L,
Reid drawing as first choice, with an
other Reid drawing for third choice
The D. A. r. banner is second on the
list The Reid drawing approved by
the committee has a Kansas sunflowel
in a field of blue. The other Reid
offering has a sunflower in the corner
of blue field with white cross bars
Recently the house spent an hour
fighting over the proposed state ban
ner Another lengthy debate is in
prospect when the bill comes back fol
further consideration.
Representative Freeman's lockou
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1919-02-19

and strike bill-House bill No. .
has beens killed by the public utilities
committee The bill was bitterly OPP
posed by a number of representatives
of organized labor.
Under terms of the bill as intro
duced in the house. all strike and lock-
out questions were brought to the at
tention of the state public utilities
commission. The commission was Civ
en- authority to direct the men back
to work and to hold hearings and
compel the attendance CT witnesses.
State commission members might also
make findings as to the, responsibility
of strike and lockouts and to provide
for punishment of men who caused
strikes without justification or who
forced lockouts. The bill has been tied
up in the committee rooms since the
opening of the session. 1t is possible
that Freeman may make an effort to
have his bill placed on the calendar
for consideration on the floor.
Publicity Bill Presented.
The house committee on agriculture
today presented the bill urged by Rep
resentative Gorham of Finney county
proposing the creation of a state pub
licity department.. Under the bill as
prepared by the committee the secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture
would be made publicity agent. He
would serve without additional pay. A
fund of $4,000 for the work is made
available for the period up to and
including the close of the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1921.
1t would be the duty of the public
ity department to direct the location
of homeseekers, soldiers and sailors
on Kansas farms, to direct employ
ment work and to press agent and
advertise the agricultural, live stock
and mineral sources of the state A
fund of $1,000 would be provided fol-
the remainder of the present fiscal
year. $4,000 for 1920 and an equal
sum for 1921.
Appropriation Fight is On.
An effort to override the decision
of the house ways and means COM
| mittee- was made today by Frizell OF
Pawnee county, when the Iarned state
hospital appropriation bill was con
| sidered in the committee the whole
The house committee had considered
items in the bill carefully, Chairman
! Simpson declared, and voted agains
/ several of the big building items in the
| original bill. Frizell, though, started
a fight to provide more money fol
work and construction of buildings a
the new hospital. Brooks of Chau
| tauqua, who has already fought sew
eral appropriation bills, Joined Frizell
The fight was still under way wher
the house recessed for lunch.

Dandrufy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beauti-
full, glossy, silky hair, do by all means
get rid of dandruff, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to- try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips
By morning, most if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve 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 a hun
dred times better. You can get liquid
arvon at any drug store. 1t is mex
pensive and four ounces is all you will
need, no matter how much dandruff
you have. This simple remedy never
ails.-Advertisement.

OREGON CHURCHES PLAN
It,, TO INTEREST SOLDIERS

Covering the social, Industrial, re-
ligious and educational phases OF
life, the State Young Mems Christian
Association committee has undertak-
en- to render special services to re-
turning soldiers and other military
men thru Oregon and thus far has
met with marked success, according
to DR.. M. ]. Fenenga, Interstate de-
mobilization secretary for Oregon
and Idaho.
The final objective of the effort,
DR.. Fenenga states, is to have some
Influential man in every community
interested personally in each military
man who has done his country a SER
vice, and II is hoped this will result
in a helpful comradeship and ma
terially aid in all problems of read
justment.
This work, which has just been
launched after careful preparatory
plans has met with favor in every
community to which 1t has been ex-
tended" said DR.. Fenenga. "Our
program embraces the essentials so
urgently needed at this critical pc
riod and is being welcomed with
much enthusiasm everywhere.
A committee of from five to ten
leading citizens is organized in each
community to get back of the pro-
gram and make 1t realization. II
is the plan to stress the feature OF
special Importance in each communi-
ty and to render service in adjusting
conditions to normal peace basis.
The social side of life is empha-
sized wherever possible, 1t being the
plan to provide the returned military
men in every community with def
mite social life in the best homes
and the churches. Following the
suggestion OF the "Y" secretaries,
many towns and communities are or
ganizing regular weekly social gath
erings and 1t has been planned in
some instances that each church

CHERRY TREE DAY

encouraged and given intelligent d.
rection. 0rchardists are beginning
to understand trees and soil condi-
tions, according to Prof. Cate, and
are not blindly planting trees and
letting nature take care OF them.
In line with the cherry tree cele-
'bration Prof. Cate advocated plant
ing the three best commercial cher
ries, the Bing, Lambert and Royal
Ann, and cited many instances of
their great market value.
Prof. R. c. Reimer of the South
ern Oregon Experiment station, who
has devoted exhaustive experiments
on the soils of the Rogue River val
ley, told the cherry growers the con-
ditions Of the soils Of this immediate
vicinity and what is lacking to make
this a perfect fruit-growing section.
First and foremost, Prof. Reimer
claims, water is necessary, and laid
much emphasis on the Importance of
irrigation. He called attention to
the enormous deposits of potash in
this soil which requires nitrogen to
neutralize. This is afforded by
water which forms the proper humus
for fruit-growing soils. Ashland
soil has sufficient sulfur for fruit,
Prof. Reimer claims, but not suffi-
cicent for alfalfa. He discourages
the use of commercial fertilizer, but
advocates the use of stable manure
direct or nitrat of soda.
Following Prof. Reimer, N. S. Ben
nett, the Medford nursery man, clos
ed the meeting with few pertinent
remarks.

Special Quotations for
White Sale:
DEPOT HOTEL BRINGS
MUCH BUSINESS TO CITY

BY no means one of the least i'm
portant business enterprises of Ash
land is the Depot Hotel conducted in
the Southern Pacific station build
ing. This hostelry is under the ef-
ficient management of Proprietor J..
P. Wolf. who with his well trained
employees, has established a reputa-
tion for furnishing good meals tha.
reaches all along the S. P. from Sau
Francisco to Portland.
Few people, perhaps, realize the
benefit an institution like the Depot
Hotel brings to this city. In the
first place the location is such that
1t secures patronage that would
newer reach the central part of Ash
land. All trains stop at least twenty
minutes here, therefore large per-
centage of the passengers have time
to eat at the Depot Hotel who could
not possibly reach the eating houses
farther. up town. In this manner an
appreciable amount of money is
brought into circulation in Ashland
that would otherwise fail to be left
here.
This hotel Is noted far and wide
for its excellent chicken dinners.
The purchase Of the fowls which
have made this reputation Is made
entirely from the farmers and poul-
try raisers of this immediate COM
munity. All green groceries, fresh
meat, milk, butter, ice and vegetables
are procured from local producers
and in the aggregate amount a con-
siderable sum of money is left month
ly in the city.
Mr.. Wolf is also an extensive en-
ployer Of labor. His corps of help
ers include cooks, pastry women,
mattresses, restaurant clerks, dish
washers, porters and chambermaids,
all of whom reside in Ashland where
their income is put in circulation in
the city. There are many other ways
in which this hotel is of direct or in
direct benefit to Ashland, beside
earning deserved reputation of
furnishing the best meals outside of
the large cities in the northwest.

A SUGGESTION

/ would respectfully suggest to
the Executive Committee, who have
been particularly we'll chosen for the
laudable undertaking of providing a
suitable memorial in honor of our
soldier and sailor boys that some
thing of eminent practical usefulness
to the community at large should be
secured in appreciation of the splen-
did services of our boys "at home"
as well as "oyer there" in fighting
to a successful issue, the worlds bat
ties for right as against might.
Let every body in Ashland, and
out Of 1t, for that matter, contribute
something, even at personal sacri-
flee, for SO great and worthy a pur-
pose as that to be celebrated, in our
very midst, at time when our glo-
rious natal day will be brought into
brilliant remembrance.
Sincerely the committees friend,
