get after him about the way he does.
A WORRIED AND
TROUBLED WIFE.
Every man would like to have his
wife his sweetheart, but in many cases
something stands in the way. Usually
when there is trouble it is caused be-
cause the husband and wife have not
congeniai tastes Often it is because
the wife refuses to give the love which
he learns to find elsewhere, or else
she lavishes it at the wrong time.
believe you have forgotten to be
your husbands sweetheart and try too
hard to be his guardian. By all means
stop questioning him about his con-
duct away from home. If he lies he
has a conscience to reprimand him for
doing so, and he will feel more sorry
IL he finds you silent. He does not
dare to tell you the truth because he
thinks you will be critical and un-
sympathetic.
q How about your method of dress
ing? Do you give 1t a fair proportion
of your thought, or do you spend all
your time in keeping up the house and
the children? Have you made the
mistake most wives do of dressing too
old for your years? Or are you as
interested in your appearance as you
were before marriage. Don't be afraio
to look your very best If your hus-
band is ashamed to take you places,
as you suggest, 1t is because you do
not make a good appearance I am
sure that he would gladly pay for any
clothes he admires.
Do not stay at home so much. Go
somewhere once a week II you have
to slight work to do so. Your o1desl
child should be able to look after the
other children while you are away.
I think it would do you good to go 10
the picture show at night, too. Picture
shows do a lot of good pointing out
mistakes in domestic life. OF course
realize that harm is done, too, by
unwholesome pictures.
You have not lost your husband yet
and I don't believe you will If you
question him less, love him more and
court him as you would a sweetheart.

of ice cream and Of soda fountain
that fashionable fountain in Kansas
City had marked fountain drinks down
one-third, failed to rouse any enthu-
siasm among Topeka fountain men
and ice cream manufacturers.
Sugar has come down, of course.
But pre-war prices on fountain
drinks? 1t is to groan!
James E. Mcfarland, of Tully-Mc-
Farland. ratified off list of the things
that haven't come down, something
IKE this: Ice costs 90 cents a hum
dred pounds. used to be 10; nuts are
double what they used to be; milk
used to be cents a quart, now it's
Is; glasses used to cost AZ cents a doz-
en-. now they're $1.25; labor is double
what 1t used to be; ice cream used to
now it's s1.25: Coca Cola is double
what it was before the war; you know
what laundries have done; fruits and
syrups are still twice as high as they
used to be. Sugar? Huh."
Mcfarland hopes for better prices
In the spring. If sugar stays down,
fruits and syrups may come down, too
and then there may be a reduction in
the price of drinks.
Drinks Higher in Other Cities.
SIN IS per cent of the territory
around Topeka they have been paying
been getting for cents, anyhow"
said Mcfarland. Kansas City can
cut prices and still not get down to
the level in Topeka"
T. J. Rosser, of Rosser Brothers
was interested, but skeptical. There
has been no indication to Rosser
Brothers that the prices they have to
pay for milk, ice cream. syrups, labor,
or anything else. are going to come
down and cause a cut in soda fountain
prices.
And. funny as it may sound, the
bumper wheat crop in western Kansas
is going to help keep up the price of
your ice cream soda, or any other
drink that you buy that has ice cream
or milk in it. L. r. Manley, manager
of the Topeka Pure Milk company,
made that plain.
Dairy Business SIigHed.
When the farmers in the western
part of the state have good crops, they
are going to concentrate their efforts
on those crops and let the dairy bust
ness take care of itself. "Dairying is
no holiday job, and when the income
from the crops goes up. the average
farmer is not going to work for the in
come from his dairy work." said Man
leyA "a good wheat crop from Salina
west, means drop of SO per cent in
the production of milk and cream in
that territory
Production of milk and cream Is
now short of the demand. Labor is
high, and there is no cut in ice cream
prices visible to the naked eye. Ice
cream manufacturers are paying about
1915 per hundred pounds for pure
milk, which is making the butterfat
cost about 81 per pound, Manley says.
Even with sugar prices down. the wages
of labor are still up in this section
of the country. Spring may bring
slight increase in the production of
milk and cream. and a lower rate for
labor. So Manley also looks to the
spring to bring the price of fountain
drinks and ice cream down, if they
come down.

new COUP
Republican Leaders Elated at
New Campaign Move.
Can Now Show Solid Front to
the Leaguers.

New York, Oct. 15.-Republican ma
tional leaders were elated today over
what they considered one of the most
effective coups OF the campaign-the
statement of thirty-one prominent ad-
vocates of international cooperation
to promote peace" supporting Senator
Harding for the presidency.
The statement was signed by Elihu
Root. George wickersham. and other
prominent Republicans whose position
hitherto has been regarded as luke
warm toward Harding.
In the Democratic camp 1t was held
that the Republicans had published
the statement as a necessary offset
against recent declarations of other
prominent Republicans of their inten
ton to support Cox for the presidency.
Also 1t was regarded by tfem as a
further illustration of the difficulty of
understanding Hardings attitude on
the League of Nations. inasmuch as
Senators Borah and johnson are sup
porting him for reasons exactly op-
posite to these ascribed by the thirty
one"
Attributed to Root.
The statement, whose authorship is
attributed In some quarters to Elihu
Root. who hitherto has taken no part
in the Republican campaign, num-
bered among its other signers:
Lyman Abbott, Herbert HooveS
Paul Crayath. Charles E. Hughes. A.
Lawrence Lowell. president of Har-
ward university; Jacob G. Shurmann,
former president of Cornell univer-
sity; Henry w. Taft. brother of ex-
President Taft; Horny L. Stimson,
william Allen White, Ray Lyman Will
bur, president of Leland Stanford uni
versity: Oscar B. Strauss. and Charles
A. Richmond, president OF Union col
lege, Schenectady. N. Y.
1t was understood some signatures
were not attached until a message was
received from Senator Harding. that
he stood by his speech of August %.
Much emphasis was placed IN the
statement in this speech. particularly
the following paragraph:
is good and excise all that is bad from
both organizations fthe court and the
league). This statement is broad
enough to include the suggestion that
IL the league which has heretofore riy-
eted our considerations and apprehen-
sions has been SO entwined and inter
woven into the peace of Europe that
its good must be preserved in order to
sta bilize the peace of that continent,
then it can be amended or revised so
that we may still have a remnant OF
the worlds aspiration in 1918 builded
into the worlds highest conception of
helpful cooperation in the ultimate
realixation." 't

gagged in producing the latter necessi-
ties may be expected speedily to fol-
low the lead of the wheat growers.
With the Spectator eliminated there
Is no reason why the farmer should
not receive a fair price without rails
Ing the cost to the consumer.
The time is coming when the price
of wheat will be fixed in America and
not in Liverpool. Trade unions. fruit
growers, meat packers. potato raisers
and raisin packers have organizations
for fixing prices and expert statesmen
for marketing what they have to sell
and there seems to be no good reason
why producers of wheat. cotton and
livestock cannot do the same.

FARMERS TAKE THE OFFENSIVE.

Herbert Hoover says the farmers of
this country are being squeezed by a
buying monopoly. Doubtless Mr..
Hoover is right as he usually is. But
what avenue of escape is open to the
farmers? They are appealing to the
government and the federal reserve
board for relief. 1t is doubtful that
these agencies could aid them greatly
IL they desired to do so.
The farmers line of effective de-
fense lies in the direction of the or
ganization of a selling monopoly
formed on the plan of the fruit and
raisin growers of California, now in
successful operation. This course the
wheat growers already are preparing
to follow. and while two or three years
may be required in which to get it on a
firm basis, 1t is on the way.
The grain dealers and boards of
trade have heard OF what the farmers
are doing and already are busy with
efforts to arrest the movement. Its
success would mean an end to their
Business.
One trouble with the farmers bust
ness has been that he has attempted
to be both producer and salesman OF
his own product. He may know all
about raising wheat but little about
salesmanship. The plan being formed
contemplates turning the selling end
of the business over TO an expert in
that line who will set the price instead
of its being set by the buyer.
The world must have the farmers
wheat regardless of the price. There
is no reason why he should sell below
the cost of production and he will not
DO so much longer.

with people. Even His divine king
dom He made dependent upon human
faithfulness.
So He called His first disciples from
their nets on the lake He loved.
Happily, they were men with ears
to hear, and wisdom to put first things
first. Their days catch was less I'M
portant than being caught themselves
in the net of liberty. They left all
and found all. We are struck by the
truth that Jesus did not abolish >the
calling of His disciples: He elevated
it. Fishers of fish became fishers of
men.
That is the wise Masters way.
Teachers of knowledge in His disciple
ship become teachers of wisdom and
life. Writers become propagandists for
the Kingdom of Heaven. Merchants
become traffickers in brotherhood.
Farmers grow a harvest of life for the
heavenly garner. Mechanics became
builders of living temples for the wor-
ship of the Infinite Father. House
keepers become home-makers for the
entertainment and service of the Guest
of Bethany. Every calling and every
character is lifted up to a diviner level

A young woman was engaged to be
married to a splendid young fellow
who went to the war and did mans
part in 1t. He is back now and is
pressing her to marry him, which she
wants to do because they love each
other dearly and long to make real
the home of their dreams. But the
woman's sister has recently died, leav-
ing four children, and the girls family
tell her that it is her duty to give up
her own happiness and devote her life
to rearing these motherless little ones
A woman, well in the thirties. has
toiled like slave ever since she was
fifteen years old, to support a mother.
and sisters and brothers, and to give
the younger children the education
and advantages she never had. Altho
she earns a fine salary, she has never
been able to save a cent for her old
age, or even to indulge herself in any
Inquiries as she went along. because it
took all she could make to give the
others the things they thought they
were bound to have. The sisters and
brothers are now all grown and at
work, or married, but they refuse to
aid. in supporting their mother, and
still come home for the Cinderella
sister to support them when they are
out of a job, or want to take a vaca-
ton without paying board.
A woman who is a Heaven born
genius as a dressmaker, and who
could make her Thousands every year

where she works for a pittance. be-
cause her mother, whom she has to
support, will not leave her old home
and her old friends and go to q
strange place where she will have no
body with whom to gossip over the
back fence.

heroines of these domestic tragedies,

whether they shall sacrifice them
selves for their families or not.

out of ten sacrifice is not only made
in vain, but that it harms instead of
helps those whom 1t was destined to
aid.
Especially does the domestic sac
rifice breed selfishness and parasit-
ism, and turns its recipients into hu-
man ghouls who have neither COM
passion nor mercy upon the poor
martyr upon whose very life blood
they live.

which there is some one poor crea-
