APPLE PROSPECTS POOR
Kansas viii Raise Only Late Fall and
Winter Varieties.

Late fall and winter varieties are
about the only apples Kansas will
raise this year. according to the report
of Edward c. Paxton. field agent for
the United States bureau of crop esti-
mates. The commercial orchards on
June 1 promised Sc per cent of a crop.
as opposed to Al per cent in 1919 and
8 per cent in 1918.
The sudden drop in temperature
about Easter Sunday killed most of
the early varieties. The crop in Don
iphan county. which has 26 per cent
of the states commercial orchards. is
SO per cent of normal. promising a
third of the Kansas yield. Jonathans
are the best set in the Missouri sec
ton, with Grimes, Bens and Ganos
close seconds. Jonathans and Grimes
are showing tendency to drop, but
Bens and Ganos are hanging well.
Winesaps and Black Twigs are a light
set. Only those orchards lying on hill
land have any set along the Kaw.
Conditions in the Arkansas valley are
irregular. Conditions in this section
vary from 25 to IS per cent of normal
All fruit buds undoubtedly were in
jured more or less by the freezing
weather at blooming period and are
now beginning to show weakness al
the stem.

AUTO THIEF HAD HIS NERVE
Took New Car While Owner Was
Standing Only Few Feet Away

Newton, Kan, June Smother
automobile thief. caught with the
goods, will be landed in the Harvey
county Jail today unless plans slip.
This nervy youth performed one of
the most daring thefts ever heard of
in this section.
The young fellow, stranger, DELHI
erately climbed into a new Buick on
the crowded business street, backed
the car away from the curb and start
ed away. Col. Fred Graham, of Pea
body, owner of the car, stood within
few feet and saw the performance
Graham stepped to the car, and said:
You have my car. stranger"
ITO hell with you," was the reply,
this is my car
Graham then sprang upon the run
ming board and attempted to grapple
with the driver, who was shifting the
gear into high and stepping on the ac-
celerator. AS the car gathered speed,
the thief swerved the car to one side
suddenly, at the same time landing a
singing blow on Graham's jaw, and
the latter, yelling 'police," fell to the
pavement, while the thief sped away.
Within a few minutes several cars
were in persuit, but it remained for
the loES distance telephone to finally
land him. He drove the car east to
Peabody thence to Salina, and then
headed for Denver. A short distance
from Scott City. he ran out of gaso-
line and borrowed a supply from a
tourist, who had heard of the theft
The stolen car was minus the right
| front fender and headlight, and was
easily identified. The tourist tele-
| phoned to Scott City, and when the
thief drove into the city, officers were
| on the job to nab the outfit

LOWDEN STORY PERSISTS
Report Still Circulated Money Was
Spent in Kansas.

Spent in Kansas.
The story that Lowden money was
spent in Kansas and that Frank
Grimes of Topeka, a Lowden support
er, knew something of it. persists in
political circles, despite a denial made
by Grimes at Chicago recently.
The latest story appearing in news
papers reviews the history of the Low
den campaign in Kansas as follows:
Last January there was decided drive
to Lowden at the meeting of the Kansas
the state. Representatives for Lowden
from Illinois were in attendance, and they
had elaborate headquarters at the Ma
tional hotel at Topeka. Grimes was the
doorkeeper and field man. He walked
the Hobbies of the hotel and led visitors by
tn arm to the Lowden rooms, but there
Grimes has been writing letters to the
delegates and sounding them out and
giving out statements occasionally, that
the delegation was for Lowden, but no
one believed it. Kansas took the mem
bers of the delegation on faith, on the
open understanding, all round, that they
'Mulvane never announced he was a
Wood man, but insisted that he would
not a candidate for national committee
man. But Grimes put Mulvane into the
fight for national committeeman, and a
month ago declared that fourteen of the
twenty delegates were for him. Today
it developed that ten men on the delega-
ton had pledged themselves to Mulvane
but practically all of them declare that the
pledge for the national committee did not
include any promise to vote for Lowden.
1.-The delegates are insisting upon a solid
vote for wood. Only Mulvane and his per
sonal friends, perhaps four or five of them,
show any inclination to break way from
the agreement.
LAS soon as Mulvane had been elected
he came into the open for Lowden He
came to Chicago and associated with the
Lowden organization. He gave out an
interview predicting that Lowden had the
best chances to win.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE


Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually being
advertised for the purpose of making thin
people fleshy, developing arms, neck and
bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles
by the soft curved lines of health and beau
ty. there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keen1y feel their excessive
thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due to
starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-p phosphate. which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro- phos-
phate should produce a welcome transfer
nation in the appearance the increase in
weight frequently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with ii
a general improvement in the health.
| Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of en-
ergy, which nearly always accompany ex-
cessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull
| eyes brighten and pale cheeks glow with
| the bloom of perfect health.
| CAUTION - While Bitro- Phosphate Is
| unsurpassed for the relief of nervousness
general debility, etc. those taking it who
| do not desire to put on flesh should use
| extra care in avoiding fat-producing foods

Be Careful What You
Wash Your Hair With

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
Injurious. as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap and beats anything else all to
pieces. You can get this a any drug
store. and a few ounces will last the
whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about q teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an

Declares the Anti-Nonpartisan
Demonstration Unfortunate.
REFRAIN FROM VIOLENCE"
Posts Are Urged to Let Law
Take Its Course.
Should Notify District Attorney

A bulletin issued from the office of
Frank E. Samuel, adjutant of the
kansas department of the American
Legion, takes dig at the legion mem
bers who were implicated in the re-
cent demonstration against Nonpar-
tfsan leaguers at Ellinwood, Kan
The bulletin deplores the actions of
the American Legion men in taking
part in the rotten egging of the Nom
partisans, and dwells upon the legion
constitution as saying: For God and
country we associate ourselves to-
gether for the following purposes: To
uphold and defend the constitution of
the United States of America and the
constitution of the state of Kansas;
to maintain law and order" It
is the latter phrase especially to
which the bulletin calls the legion
members attention. The bulletin
continues:
Notify the Authorities.
''The following is paragraph from
the detailed instructions as sent out
to posts in organizing their vigilance
committees: The executive commit
tee deplores the fact that several
members of the American Legion in
various places have used force and
violence in attempting to stop actions
which they considered disioyal. We
| ask instead that all posts remember
that our constitution provides that we
our members should be informed that
any actions which they consider dis
loyal should be communicated to the
United States district attorney of Kan
sas, Fred Robertson, Kansas City,
Kan, and should let him take such
| action as he sees fit. All legion MEM
bers should hereafter refrain from
any and all acts of violence.
For the good of the American
Legion both locally and nationally, we
| again earnestly and sincerely urge
that none of our posts take part in
those things which SAVIOR of lawlessn ess
and disorder. 1t will be readily recog-
nized that further continuance in this
respect will materially weaken and
discount the great good which has

house to make complaints to the gov
