CENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER has loaned

never seen. none of them competent 10 make

out interest. and has never lost cent.
Every dollar was loaned to boys and every
dollar for the purchase of pure blood pigs.
There Is a Cappcr Pig Club in every county
in Kansas. and lucky Is the youngster who
gets in. They are financed and shown how
to rails" fine stock. They are shown how to
make money in the process. They are led
to an enthusiasm over the more intelligent
phases of farming. They are kept on the
farm. and this latter is the object back OF
Senator tappcr's scheme.
Now the senator is applying the same
idea to chicken clubs with girls as members
lie has loaned 500. 900 to the girls OF
Kansas for the purchase and development
OF pure bred hocks.
So. wherever in Kansas this thin, child.

In Washington, in America at large and

Member of the Associated Press
WHAT SHALL THE SENTENCE BE?

TNllE question to be considered at the hear
i ing on the Sterling school bill in the
City Hall this afternoon is whether the
present Board Of Public Education should
be continued.
The Sterling bill ubolishc> the present
board and provides for a new board to take
its place. Tho new board is to contain
seven members. who are tn serve six years
each. They are to be- elected at large on a
nonpartsan ticket Mt the regular municipal
election. An arrangement is made By which
three of the members To- be- chosen in No.
vembcr of this year. II the bill becomes
law, will serve six years. two for four years
and two for two years. The successors of
the short term members will be elected for
the full term Of six years. Continuity of
policy is thus assured. yet it will BE- possible
to change the complexion of the board at two
elections occurring two years apart.
If the present board were functouinG to
the satisfaction of the city the bill would
receive little attention. The fact that the
general opinion Of experts favorS Il small
board would not be- enough to induce the
people to demnp reduction Of the size of
the board from fifteen to seven if tho fifteen
men were managing thee schools rs they
should be managed. Sumc Of the SrvCrcSt
critics of the board are within that body.
They have been saving that in the choice of
q superintendent of Schoul> more thought
was given to how the influence and prestige
of a group Of men could be maintained than
to the selection Of the best possible super
intcndcnt When men on the inside make
such remarks about the methods of the board
conditions have reached Il d"plorubI" state.
Therefore. whi" it i Theoretically much
better to have Il board of seven than "A board
of fifteen, IN" reduction in the number Of
members is not the primary purpose Of the
bill. Its purpos" is really to wipe the slate

"PREssURE" FOR THE LEAGUE?

FN1IE Paris dispatch announcing that the
l. French foreign office was negotiating
with tho American State Department through
Ambassador Jusscrand "in an effort to in
ducc President Harding to favor acceptance
Of II modified League of Nations is unfor-
tunatcly worded.
What Is probably happening is not an
effort to induce the President to favor ac
cepting a modified league, but an effort TO
discover from the President and his secretary
Of state what notifications in the League
covenant they think should be made before
they will recommend it's ratification to the
Senate.
There is n vital difference between the two
things. II is not likely that either France
or Great Britain will urge the United States
to enter the league. Their statesmen know
too much about American ScnSitivencsS to
foreign pressure tn make such mistakc-a
mistake which would bc likely to defeat the
ends they seek. They desire us to enter the
league just as many American statesmen
think We should enter it, not only for our
own good but for the good of tho world.
But they know that there Is right and n
wrong way to approach the matter.
France and Great Britain are interested
in an agreement among the nations to dis
courage war and to bring about the settle
mcnt of disputes in an international court.
The United States is interested in the same
things There Is room. then for discussion
among them of the best way to bring about
the ends which they all desire. There ought
to be such discussion. entered into with
open minds and with determination to fac"
the accomplished facts. When the matter
has been thoroughly considered then this
government will decide upon its own policy.
not through pressure from abroad. but
through the exercise of its own enlightened
judgment.
To what conclusion that Judgment should
lead it this newspaper has Indicated many
times. The logic of the situation points to
ratification of the league covenant with such
notifications as seem necessary to prevent
the Cntanglcmrnt of the United States in
matters with which it cannot possibly have
tho rrmntrSt concern.

Where Dickens Got His Names

From the Chicago Journal
1t seems surprising that the names OF
Dickens characters, odd though they were,
should be found in real life, for it was from
life that many of them were taken. Some,
as is known, were copied from the names on
signs over business places, but that was not
the nOveiSt's only source of selection. John
Forster, his biographer, found among NJ !.S
papcrs carefully drawn list of names, with
the sources from which he obtained them. ~,
Some of the names are too extravagant i9f
anything but reality: Jolly Stick, Bill Mari,
gold, George Muzzle, William Why, KoOer'
Gospel, Robin Scrubban, Sarah GoldSacss'
Catherine Two, Sophia Doomsday, hoSe'''
