and was abandoned In 1S45. 1t is
now being restored in fac-simile for a
state park. Lincoln arrived there in
1881, "a stranger, friendless, unedu-
Gated, penniless boy" as he himself
put it. In 1887 no left to practice
law in Springfield. 1t was during
those six momentous years that he
earned his nickname of Honest
Abe;" that h0 studied grammar and
law! that he was clerk and storekeep-
or, deputy surveyor and postmaster;
that he served as captain in the Black
Hawk War; that no was defeated for
the Legislature and later elected;

When youth and sprlngtlme meet in
the mind of the designer of millinery
we nre presented with such ceneep-
lions as those In the group OF hats
shown above. One of the new shiny
fabrics makes the draped turban with
Its audGcious dropping bow at the right
side. Knife-plaitcd ribbon Is RESPONSE
BILE for the cheerful hat In rose color
that looks as IL 1t might be made OF
sea shells Mt the right. The odd and
dashing shape at the left has a satin
brim and fancy braid crown with a
cluster that comprises fruits, flowers
and foliage posed against It. The
wide-brimmed braid hat boasts of
lovely lines not interfered with by a
rosette and ends of satin ribbon posed
at the side. These are only four
among the myrlads OF hats made to
grace the heads of young women. but
from them may be gathered something
Of the vivacity and the general bright
ness Of new shapes and materials for

wv. C. A. Starts Campaign for
Pedal Improvements Here.
High Heeled Shoes Absolutely
Out of Question, Is Decree.
TO GIVE FREE CONSULTATIONS
Corrective Exercises Also To Be
Given at the Y. w. C. A.
Big Toe Troubles Found in
Visit to Shoe Dealers.

Better feet is the slogan of
campaign to be waged this fall and
winter by the Y. w. C. A. in Topeka
to educate girls and women to the i'm
portance of wearing proper shoes and
giving proper care to the feet.
The preliminary to the campaign
will be a free consultation for all
young women in Topeka suffering
from foot troubles. to be held at the
association building Saturday after
noon. Examination and advice will be
given free at the consultation at any
time Saturday afternoon by DR.. Lewis
P. Haight.
High heeled shoes for girls and
women for street or business wear
should be absolutely out of the Ques-
ton, according to the teachings of the
campaign outlined today by Miss Nell
Stringfellow, Y. w. c. A. physical di-
rector, who has charge of the move
ment High heels for dress wear are
not frowned upon, however
A course of special corrective eXer-
cises will be given this winter to re-
lieve girls suffering from foot
troubles and to prevent others having
similar trouble.
Visits Shoe Dealers.
II have visited every shoe dealer
in Topeka" Miss Stringfellow said.
And in no shop did 1 find the APP
proved straight last shoe for women
that will prevent bending of the big
toe. Such shoes are made by about
forty manufacturers. and we do not
advocate any one make but do stand
for the wearing of such shoes"
Fallen arches, bent toes, bunions
and other foot defects will be given
special attention if any one so af-
fected will apply to the Y. w. c. A.
at any time Saturday afternoon.
Miss Stringfeilow was assisted by
Mrs Kurtz Kellam and Mrs. Gertrude
Fritz in visiting the shoe shops today.
Later the w. C. A. will probably
interest a civic committee in the bet
ter feet" movement to make it of
penernl henefit

TO REDUCE RATES
Would Shave 8 Cents
Hundred on Grain.
Would. Affect Shipments From
Kansas to Gulf.

Wichita, Aug. 26.-The Frisco rail-
road is the first road to apply to the
interstate commerce commission for
permission to make a fifteen per cent
reduction in its grain rates from Mid
die Western points to Gulf Ports
Announcing of application was made
yesterday by F. e. Clark, division
freight and passenger agent for the
road here on receipt of notification
by A. Hilton, vice president in charge
of traffic.
According to Mr.. Clark this applica-
ton which it is believed will be grant
ed without hesitation, is an important
one to the middle west wheat farmers
He said that the proposed downward
revision of rates is assumed to include
this territory as well as that of Kan
sas City and St. Louis.
The Frisco move is made following
the reductions of grain rates from the
middle west to eastern ports.
Other roads are expected to follow
the frisco action.
A reduction of cents per hundred
will be made on wheat shipments
from Kansas to the gulf by all rail-
roads. if consent of the interstate COM
merce commission is obtained, j. r.
Koontz, assistant freight traffic man
ager of the Santa Fe, announced this
afternoon.
Koontz has just returned from Chi
cago. where a meeting of traffic Of
ficials was held Thursday. He says it
was decided at the meeting to imme-
diately file with the interstate COM
merce commission an application to
reduce the rates, effective within ten
days.
= THE report that the Frisco railroad
is the first to apply for a reduction of
rates on wheat shipments to the gulf
is incorrect" said Koontz, because all
OF the roads are combined in the
action The proposed reduction is
not Is per cent, but three cents per
hundred. The reduction may be even
more from localities where certain
combination rates can be effected, but
the reduction will be three cents per
hundred for the main wheat belt of
the state"
