WHAT KANSAS CITY KNOWS


 Among the things which critics of the Anti Main Street school leave out of account, in the supposedly ob- jective statement of their case, are the many healthy little movements in towns of the gopher prairie sec ton toward making two blades of grass grow, so to speak. where none grew before. Do you know the things for which Milwaukee ought to be famous besides its time beer? They are worth looking up. Do you know Kansas City? It is one Of the pleasantest places to live .r these benfghted states" and it is so be- cause it's citizens have discovered that beauty pays.
 Probably beauty, like honesty. is nobler when achieved for it's own sake, yet 1t is something to achieve beauty even by the commercial route. And the Kansas City people have learned that parks. good streets agreeable rather than ugly buildings, actually increase general real estate values.
 They have coined a useful word in Kansas City-"uglies." They have an ordinance halfway through the city council--perhaps by this time 1t IS all the way through--protecting the pleasanter streets from billboardS gasoline filling stations, and 'uslies' in general. How this particular or dinance fares Is not particularly nm portant. The important thing is that the public knows what are 'uglles and is determined to do away with them.

DELIGHTFUL PLAY AT THE MAJESTIC
Tempest and Sunshine," By Maddocks-Park Play
 CTS, Is Offering

Another book play, Tempest and Sunshine" will be offered during the coming week by the Maddocks- Park Players, popular Birmingham stock company. This play is being offered at the reques. of hundreds of the Majestic patrons, and will be one of the most outstanding sue cesses of the company.
 The idea beneath the story of Tempest and Sunshine" is of two sisters who are totally different As the title implies, one of the girls has the nature of the sweeping tenn pest; tn other Is like a warm ray of sunshine. The things that come to people in life can hardly be called accidents; great philosophers have said that mans life is the result of his disposition or nature.
 Certain temperaments call forth certain results that show up in events called by many accidents" So in the story of Tempest and Sun shine" the fortunes of the two sis ters are plainly the outcome of their two natures. It is drama amusing at times and at times full of pathos, that tells the lives of these two interesting feminine characters.
 An excellent cast of palyers from the Maddocks-Park company will present this delightful play headed by the favorite little Mae Park, in tn erole that suits her, Sunshine. while the dashing Miss Myrtle Big den will be cast as Tempest. Other players will be seen to advantage.
 There only remain few more weeks of stock and the management Is anxious to give the patrons Just wha- they want while there is time, and it has been proven that the book plays are just the thing for the pa irons of this house.
 Mir. Park is putting forth every eff fort to make thls one of the big of ferings, and according to the sale of seats the Maddocks-Park Players will be greeted with large crowds during the week of Tempest and Sunshine"
 It is understood that "Thorns and Orange Blossoms" will follow, and also other well-known book bills.

intended TO help the schools Of the
state, the first by taking the selec-
tion OF the State Superintendent
out OF politics and the second by en-
abling the State Board of Education
to use a part of the state school levy
for the, purpose of supplementing
the county levy in counties which
are not able to pay the minimum
teachers salary from their own
revenues. The first amendment,
though having some merits, is
meeting with considerable opposi-
tion and will probably be defeated
because Of the ingrained disinclina-
tion of the people to relinquish the
right of selecting their officers and
place such power in the hands of
one or a few men. The second
has such merit that II
deserves to PASS as it will enable
the State Board to extend a helping
hand to the poorer and more back
ward counties. compelling the rich
er and more prosperous sections to
help bear the burdens of their less
fortunate fellow-citizens.

AMERICAN TRADERS
REACH NORTHERN SIBERIA

juneau, Alaska June 1O.-Points
more than 500 miles up the Kilyma

not been visited by traders for four
years. were reached last summer by a
party of American traders, headed by
Capt. S. X. Gudmundson, master of
the trader schooner Polar Bear, accord
ing to word received here.
The Bear left Nome. Alaska, June

coast and East Cape into the Arctic
and arrived at the mouth of the Koly-
ma August 4. The schooner was work.
ed up the river 120 miles and anchored
while the traders took small boat
800 miles farther up.
"We were still 400 miles from the
head of the river" Captain Gudmund-
son said in writing of his trip to a
Juneau friend. I'VE found trading very
good as no boat had visited that vicin-
ity in four years and we soon disposed
of our wares and loaded up with goods
