TALK OF SESSIONS NOW
Politicians Pick Editor as Next POST
master in Topeka.

EOHClG1anS TICK Editor as Next Post
master in Topeka.
All indications today pointed to
Charles Sessions, managing editor of
the Topeka Daily Capital, as the next
postmaster of Topeka. If this isn't
true, then the political dopesters may
as well crawl under the porch and
Snore.
Early in the game Sessions was
looked upon as the most probable
choice. Richard Thomas, one of Sem
ator Capper'S warmest friends, was
regarded as a close opponent for the
Topeka newspaper man. Later it
looked as tho T. B. Boyd, now county
treasurer, might have a chance for the
place, and there is no doubt that BOYD
had strong backing. Major James
Going and Robert Caldwell, now as
sistant postmaster, were also spoken
of favorably.
But as the date for the appointment
draws nearer it all checks back to the
same manifestations. The appoint
ment will be made September Is.

PLANETARY BoBBED HAIR


I saw Venus shine
In the western sky fair
And said, Lovely Venus,
Have you girls with bobbed hair?"
She replied very softly
With q smile of good cheer,
We don't have them up here"
To Jupiter brilliant
Cold, white and afar
I said, do the girls
Bob their hair where you are?"
he looked at me coldly
(Hes away so far)
And said, I'VE don't know them:
They're down where you are"
And Mars to the eastward,
So lovely, so fair,
/ said, Tell me, Mars,
Do your girls bob their hair9"
sour girls are dear maidens,
Wen not have them robbed;
Their hair is their beauty,
They don't want it bobbed-
your earth has gone crazy
With Bridges and Fads,

Your lassies and lads.

But you will not learn,

And watch your Rome burn.

Mr.. McAdoo placed great emphasis
on his feat, while director general of
railroads, i'm moving 1880, 900 bush
els of grain to four Atlantic ports in
February and March, 1918. The ac-
complishment, according to Mr.. Nc
Adoo, "saved the war to America and
the allies" Now comes Mr.. Willard
before the same committee, and shows
that the roads under private manage
ment moved $4,000, 900 bushels to the
same ports in the same months of
1917. The private owners make a
showing three times as good as Mr..
McAdoo, and yet McAdoo says that
the roads were taken over by the gov
eminent because they had "broken

GUARDING AGAINST ANTHRAX

The order of the state board of
health prohibiting the importation in
to Montana of all shaving brushes
made from h~orsehair calls attention
again to one of the deadliest and most
difficult of all diseases, anthrax. The
purpose of the order is to combat the
increase of this disease, germs of
which are often carried by harsehair
shaving brushes.
Anthrax is caused by the bacillus
anthracis in animals, chiefly cattle,
sheep and horses. It may be con-
veyed to nearly all animals by inoc-
ulation of a wound or through the di-
g~estive organs. In sheep or cattle
generally the first indication of an
outbreak is the sudden death of one
or more of the herd or flock.
1t was not until about 1880 that a
strange and fatal disease among
healthy men working in wooden fac
tories in Englan was identified as an
thrax, commonly found in horses and
cattle. In humans, the infetcing agent
is usually incubation under some por-
ton of the skin, such as a slight
abrasion on the face. That is why
horsehair brushes have been prohibit
ed in Montana.
Recovery from anthrax is exceed
ingly rare. 1t strikes the afflicted
person in the midst of apparent
health and death follows very soon.
Treatment is of little avail and thus
far an effective serum has not been
discovered. Such form of prevention
as has been ordered by the Montana
state board of health is the only eff
fective method of avoiding the dis
ease. And, in passing, we may truth
fully say that the Montana state
board Of health reflects high credit
upon Governor Dixon's administra-
ton. This department is administered
with thorough efficiency and its work
will compare most favorably with any
state department of health in the
country.

100 PEI CENT BONDS

There is one thing noticeable about
the Harding administration-its full
fillment is always equal to if not
greater than it's promises. Mr.. Hard
ing did not promise to bring Liberty
bonds back to par. He promised to
try to do it, and held out the hope that
it might be accomplished after a con-
siderable lapse of time. Only a little
more than a year has passed since the
Republicans were given full control
of both the executive and legislative
departments of the government, and
bonds are selling in the market at
practically 100 cents on the dollar.
Some of them are selling at better
than par, while others are only slight
ly below par.

INTERESTING THE FARMER IN
ADVERTISING

The farmer being a business man
a seller of goods-he ought to adver-
tise just as all successful business
men advertise. He, too, will be sue
cessful in that little business matter
of winning back accounts when he ad-
vertises literally and intelligently.
But a first class way to find out
that advertising doesn't pay" is to
advertise unintelligently. One of our
justly noted farm magazines prints
two advertisements that illustrates
this point very clearly.
John Smith, having ten very fine
Holstein cows, and being nearly out
of feed, ran this lad" in his nearby
town paper:
FOR SALE-Ten cows. Price
reasonable. John Smith, Plod-
town.
Then John sat down and waited
There was nothing arousing, or inter.
esting, or attractive or appealing in
that lad" Moreover, it didn't tell
the facts that farmers wanting to buy
cows wanted to know. A few letters
came to John, every one of them ask
ing questions. Some even desired to
know what was the matter with the
cows that he vas trying to sell "rea-
sonably." John had to write back an
swers to all the questions and then a
few more letters came back asking
more questions. Meanwhile the feed
gave out and John had to sell in des-
peration for less than two-thirds the
value to a neighbor who knew his
predicament.
Our magazine editor says that Tom
Jones put the following ad in his
Home Town Paper:
FOR SALE-Ten heavy cows,
five years old. Price 500 each
Fresh in September. Forced to
sell on account of feed shortage.
Tom Jones, Peptown.
During the next three days Ton
got several acceptances of his offer
right off the bat-providing the cow
were as he represented, of course. TIL,
farmers who read his ad didn't hav'
to ask questions. The ad told all the.
wanted to know and they accepted
when the appeal was fresh in thei
minds.
Now Toms ad cost twice as much a
John's-probably 80 cents more. Blu
Tom got 500 for his cows, and Johl
only $65 for his.
Unintelligent advertising may no
pay, but intelligent advertising pay
always.
And there is nothing hard about it
