MADE RAG FIGURES POPULAR
Russian Princes instrumental In
Causing a Return to Pastlme
That Was in Favor Long Ago.

It was the fashion little time ago
to think scornfully of the woodwork
screens, the paper flowers or the wax
figures made by the women Of the
past, but now they are eagerly sought
and added to collections of articles
illustrating home life.
History repeats itself, and to this
busy athletic age has come a wave Of
the old fnger-wUrk fashion. Lately
II was pictures made with feathers.
now It is little figures made from
rags. These last were the idea Of
Nine. WOlkoff, nee Princess Trou.
betskoy, formerly OF the Russian i'm.
perial court, when at Petrograd.
where the little figures were sold for
the benfit of Russian soldiers. Since
Nine. WolkOff las been in England
she has modelled little statuettes Of
well-known people, all in character
lstic attitude and lifelike appearance.
Odd pieces of rag have been manlpu.
lated to make these charming little
figures, which vie with the paper mod.
cling and the wax groups Of the past.

Through an invention to SOW grain
by alrplane, aircraft may be listed as
agricultural implements. The new
flying grain sower," says the New
York Sun, will plant a strip of 36 feet
wide travelling at the rate of 40 miles
an hour. The seeds are expelled by
air pressure from perforated metal
tube with sufficient velocity to drive
them deep into the ground At the
end of each wing a thin stream Of
white lime or fertilizer is released to
outline the planted area. The plane Is
constructed to make a landing on
plOwed field without damage
Under normal conditions the flying
sower" has a capacity Of $40 acres in
about six hours. The same area plant
ed with an eight-fOOt drill travelling at
the rate Of three miles an hour would
take a man twenty-five and a half
days Of ten hours. 1t is estimated that
1000 acres could be covered In one
day by the air-sower.

Get new HEARING
z. {. c. Grants Rehearing in
Kansas Natural Proceedings.
Public Concern in Gas Supply
for Domestic Uses.

The public utilities commission to-
day granted a rehearing in the pro-
ceedings brought by the Kansas Nat
ural Gas company to compel enforce
western Gas company and the Gas
Pipe Line company to deliver gas from
the southern Kansas fields The court
of industrial relations had held it was
without jurisdiction in the case which
virtually involves enforcement of or
ders to limit use of gas far domestic
purposes.
Under it's contract with the South
western the Kansas Natural was to
receive 20,O00.000 cubic feet of gas a
day. When the producing company
failed to meet its contract, the Kan
sas Natural went before the court of
industrial relations. Judge George w.
Wark, who wrote the opinion, stated
that the contract was private docu-
ment and the issue must be settled in
the courts of record.
When the application for a rehear-
ing was presented to the public utili-
ties commission today that body held
that a public interest~Was involved and
that it could hear the issues. The dis
pute virtually involves the right of gas
consumers in the northern towns and
cities to receive gas for domestic pur-
poses as a priority over big industrial
plants in southern Kansas. The
Southwestern company is alleged to
have disposed of its supply to the in
dustrial firms and reduced its supply
to the Kansas Natural.
The original order was signed by
Judges Huggins and Wark. Judge
Reed did not approve the order. Now
Judge Higgins is on the industrial
court. Judge Wark is out of state serv-
ice and Judge Reed is on the public
utilities commission. The situation
today gave him opportunity TO reverse
decision of his former associates and
to revive memories of the row which
resulted in the industrial court split.
Under its decision today the com
mission virtually holds that rights of
the individual consumer in northern
Kansas is paramount to the demands
of industrial plants in Elk. Montgom-
cry and other counties. No date was
set for the rehearing. altho the COM
mission indicated that the case would
not be taken up until after June 5.

Unseasonably cool weather pre-
vailed all week in Kansas. with freez-
ing temperatures almost every night
in the northwest quarter and a heavy
frost on Tuesday, May 8, in the north
east counties and the Kaw valley,
which did considerable damage to po-
tatoes and other truck crops, accord
ing to the reports of more than 100
correspondents of the Weather Blu
reau. Light to moderately heavy rains
were general and the state as a whole
is well supplied with moisture. some
of the southeastern counties being too
wet for best effects on crops.
Wheat is making a fine growth in
the eastern section of the state and
the extreme western counties, but in
the central portion it still shows the
effects of prolonged dry weather
earlier in the season and the severe
freeze of April. A close examination
of the plant in several central counties
indicates a great deal of the crop in
that section is in such shape it may
not recover, even with favorable
weather from now on. Fifty per cent
of the wheat has jointed over the
southern half of the state and the
northeastern counties, including the
Kaw valley. 1t is from II to 8 inches
high in the south-central and south
eastern counties and to inches
high in the northcentra1 and north
eastern counties and well started IN
the northwest part of the state.
Corn and other spring crops are
backward and rather badly in need of
warmth and sunshine. About half of
the corn ground has been planted in
the southeast quarter and the south
central counties, and this work has be-
gun to some extent in all but the eX-
IRENE northwest counties, tho the
corn that has come up is making very
slow growth.
oats in the northern half are in
fair condition, in some places rated
as poor. Farther south, especially in
the southeast section, they are in
somewhat better shape. Barley in the
northwest counties is just getting
started after having been so badly
frozen a few weeks ago.
The first crop of alfalfa is in ex-
ceedfngly poor condition in the east
ern third due to freezing and later to
damage from the pea aphis, or green
bug which is still ravaging fields to
such an extent that farmers in that
section are not yet able to set date
when cutting alfalfa will Degin. In the
central counties this work will prob
ably start in two weeks and farther
west in three to four weeks.

Washington, May 5.-Packer control
legislation, the subject of sharp fight

Wallace.
Appearing before the house agri-
culture committee. Wallace declared
that the legislation would be 'desir-

against the packers are fully justi-
fled"
Must Consolidate Control.
Wallace suggested that packer regu-
lation be consolidated in one bureau
of the government instead OF beng
distributed between the department of
agriculture and the interstate COM
merce commission as provided in the
impending bill.
Il believe it would be better to
have the supervisory board under the
department of agriculture since that
department is close to agriculture, he
said. THE department already has
collected a large amount of informa-
ton on the packing industry"
Let Packers Retail.
Wallace said that if the distribution
Of meat products is to be cheapened
eventually, the government must al
low the Dig packers to return to the
retail field.
''Oi course, it must be seen that the
previous practices of Nthe packers of
driving the small business man out of
the market are not resumed"
Wallace also indicated he saw no
objection to the packers being al
lowed to deal in the so-called ''unre-
lated products" This was prohibited
by the consent decree obtained by
former Attorney General Palmer Such
business. Wallace said, should be I'M
