Of 1t has passed the roasting ear stage
IN the southeast and eouth-centra1
counties Elsewhere it is mostly in
roasting ears, except in the northwest
counties, where it is taSSeling and
Skiing. Several extreme northwest
counties report that corn was never
better at this time of the year. The
southwest counties, however. have NOT
been SO fortunate, but those that re-
ceived rain this week will have their
corn crop greatly improved by it.
The week has been favorable for
threshing, as the rains held off until
the close. Shock threshing has gen.
orally been finished and stack .thresh-
ing is beginning. The third cutting of
alfalfa is under way in the central
third of the state and the southeast
counties and will start within a week
n the northeast counties. Cutting
prairie hay is in full swing.
S Grain sorghums are doing well.
Fifteen to 25 per cent of them are in
head in the southwest quarter and
the south-centra1 counties, where the
bulk of the crop is raised. Sugar
beets are doing nicely in the Garden
City district.
Soil conditions are favorable for fall
blowing, except in the sections that
are still dry. and this work Is making
better progress than usual.

Topeka Commandery No. 5, was a
proud occasion for Eminent Com
mander Chester A Buell., the member
ship present and the drill corps.
Every seat was taken early, and when
Sir Knight George w. Porter, in
command of the drill team marched
his men into the asylum in regular drill

the team and its captain that the
commander, his staff and the entire
Commandery was in hearty accord
and would support their ambition to
attend the next triennial conclave of
the Grand Encampment of the United
States. He announced that of every Pc
tition fee received up to the date of
the 1925 encampment SO would be
set aside for thu team fund.
Sir Knight w. A. S. Bird regretted
that he had outgrown his efficiency at
drills, and unable to do the active
work he would like to do, but offered
in lieu thereof, for the balance of his
life, to deposit to the credit of the
drill corps fund 500 for every first
prize won at national conclaves, $50

at all, and $25 for every first prize
won at state encampments. This

in Templarism in Topeka Command
cry than for a decade, and under the
captaincy of Sir Knight Porter the
Commandery has a drill corps that

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and is
better than anything else you can use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsi-
fled in a cup or glass with a little
warm water is sufficient to cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. 1t makes an abundance OF
rich creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt. dandruff ana excess oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright. lustrous. fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months. Be sure your druggist gives
you Mulsified.- Acknowledgement.

San Francisco, Aug. 9.-"The only
solution for this present series of ma

This was the declaration of Vice
President Calvin Coolidge in an in

dent is here to address the convention
of the American Bar association.
''There is buc one solution for in
dnstrial- differences when the interest
ed parties can't agree, and that is
arbitration. When that fails, as 1t
has in both coal and rail strikes and
the public generally is affected. then
1t Is a problem to be dealt with by
congress- the vice president declared.

all necessary steps to insure sufficient
production and distribution of coal

with the forthcoming coal short
age in mind, President Harding with
out trying to favor either the miners
sor operators. suggested that the min
sers return to work at their wartime
wages and that their differences be
placed before a commission composed
of representatives of the government,
sthe miners and the operators.
Z Both the miners and the operators
REJECTED this proposal, the operators
stating that if they were adequately
protected theyswould mine coal. The
president communicated with the gov
ernors of the various states and indi-
Gated that he was ready to assist them
IN maintaining order. That is the situa-
tion at the present time. Production
has been seriously hampered by the
railroad strike, working hardship on

The INDUSTRIAL COURT

Editor State Journal: Howat is in
Jail and William Allen White is out
on bond. Now if the court would re-
strain the attorney general from any
more decisions during his term of Of
flee, it would begin to look as tho the
court was trying to earn its money.
1t looks like White, in his enthusi-
asm, might have come to Aliens res
cue at the last minute by agreeing not
to talk for three months.
Do they believe they can fool the
people all of the time, or just long
enough for the strike to settle itself?
Why did White put up the signs :?
Why did he take them down? The
answer is. read between the lines, peo-
pie of Kansas, and stop, look and
listen. Have we not had about all
