family. Kass came directly to To-
peka and has lived here since. The
war prevented Mrs. Kass and the chill
dren from coming to America until
last summer. Altho Henry did not
see any of she fighting in the grea!
war. he was near enough to hear the
bombardment~.
During the period of great food
shortage following the war, the Kass
family was provided with food and
clothing which Mr.. Kass sent from
Topeka. Henry has seen the distribu.
ton of the American relief food and
clothing supplies which were sent to
Russia but he never used them. Ac-
cording to Henry, the food and cloth
ing shortage in Russia is every bit
as bad as it is pictured by the relief
workers.
When he finishes school in Topeka,
Henry hopes to go to an art school.
He is the youngest member of the
Kass family and has three sisters and
one brother.

Ell Dorado, July 15.-County Farm
Agent H. S. Wise warns farmers and
gardeners TO wage war on two tomato
vine diseases, which he says threaten
to seriously curtail the crop These
diseases are commonly known as
wilt and blight The only remedy
for the former is to cut out the plant
affected before it has time to spread
the disease. Spraying is effective to
eradicate the blight malady.

SCHOOLS BOTH BUILDING
X. S. A. c. Starts Stadium-K. U.
Pofits by Ag. School Refund


Manhattan, Kan. July 15.-The
contract for the building of the first
section of the K. S. A. c. Memorial
stadium was let this morning for $45,-
900 to Walter Stingley, of Manhattan,
from a field of six other bidders.
The first third of the structure is to
be built for base price of 10 per cent
for the personal services of the con-
tractor and the use of all necessary
equipment, including tower and chute.
If the cost goes over $45, 900 the $4,-
500 to be paid the contractor will be
reduced to a minimum of $4,000. If
the cost goes below $4,000 the con-
tractor divides the saving with the
Stadium corporation.
Lawrence, Kan, July 15.-Work
was started on the new women's DOR
nitory at the university, the building
being located on old North College
hill, three blocks from the present
university campus. Old College was
the first building to be erected at the
university and stood in the center of
two blocks of land which made up the
original campus.
The new building is being built on
the southeast corner of the two blocks
and is just southeast of the site of the
old building. The university's share
of the dormitory fund, appropriated
by the last legislature, was about
$4,000, which is about $40, 900 more
than was originally intended for K. u.
The addition was made when Kansas
State Agricultural college forfeited its
share.

Old and Young.

Progress has brought 1t to standsl it is stuck and stuffed up. it with this isolated idea of inevitable change It amounts to no more than saying that youth is youth But it Is somehow confused with the idea that youth is truth possibly because the words often rhyme in the verses written in albums.
 Now the question of when youth is truth, and when not, and why and why not is a very interesting thing to think about, if it should to any of these people to think about it. So long they prefer talk about it, it is always talk about old if he had always been old about young people if they would always be young.

Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Department of Commerce.
 Speaking before the national gatherings of bus ness men called by the Chamber of Commerce of the U S. A., in Washington, Dr. Klein declared that supremacy in foreign trade as in domestic trade, ultimately upon the basis of superior indus trial organization. Back of all our efforts in over markets must have, first of all, the ability to produce goods of saleable quality than our rivals. Our industrial leadership has long been established in number of important commodities of international commerce, even though that leader ship has been generally appreciated.

 England owed her mastery in foreign trade to her superior productive capacity which grew out of her pioneering experiments with the factory system Similarly our present leadership in the worlds trade is based upon enormously stimulated productive capacity This explains very largely the fact that present export trade is considerably above that of the last normal pre-war year

The Tariff Bill.
Indianapolis News.)

It is an interesting fact that Senator McCumber Is particularly excited the pending tariff bill There is occasional protest by own Senator Watson over what he supposes to be fibuster, but it is a protest that does not to have much vigor be- hind it. He may be thinking of his most truthful that any tariff bill enacted under condi- tions practically the same those which now exist would become obsolete in six months. Republican Senators taking them whole, are singuary unvocal the subject.
 That opposition to the bill and the demand for postponement of tariff legislation swiftly gather ing strength must be clear to all The bill has been subjected fierce and very effective assaults, and, what is quite important, the arguments against it have not been met. Senator McCumber, when confronted the other day by editorials from Repub- lcan newspapers critcising the bill, had something to say about department sore' influence, but the successor the old British gold argument, and the department store has taken the place of the Golden Club.
 When the bill is criticised conferring the President very great and extraordinary, if not un- constitutional, power, namely to fix tariff rates. and protecting production but profits derived there from, the only is that those who make these arguments-which. if true, should be fatal to the ilibustering. It is not remarkable that Republican Senators should be uninterested It is highly probable that many of them wish the bill had been introduced that, having been intro duced it could now be dropped.

In considering what could be done for Alaska from which immediate results would be obtained why not give thought to advertising campaign of the food value of the Terrtory's seafood products? One of Alaska's greatest needs is market for her fish
 few years ago California rasen and other fruit growers could nearly the whole of their products That portion of the crop that dis lposed of at all sold prices which allowed of profit. The growers organized and expended $100,- 900 and upwards year in advertising throughout the country. In incredibly short time demand was produced that made a market for the entire product at price which has produced millions in profits and growth and prestige for California.
 That 1t would be better the health of Ameri- can people if they would fish is declared by those who have made study of such matters. It would be matter to compelling facts that would ready market for all the fish that Alaska could produce.
 Such advertising should not be confined to any particular species of fish It should be used as create a market all the varieties produced in the country salmon herring, habut, the different varieties of cod, redsnapper, sea and other species including shesh. In a very shor time there would be created demand that would take the Alaska fisheries of the seasonal vacations, be- most of the plants and equipment that are used for canning salmon could be used also for handling herring and other fish.

 The expansion of Alaskas fisheries offers prac- tically unlimited possibilities.

Experts declare that poten tiay Alaska has greater fish than Europe, and they have behind them the greatest potential market in the word-the greatest because the rich est with largest capacity to purchase.

 We would like to suggest few names for some of the vessels of our great Shiping Board that will be more in keeping with their present dampness.
 They should by all means have schooners named after A. J. Vol stead, Roy Haynes and Wayne B. Wheeler and windjammer after William J. Bryan Then just for a starter for their larger liners we'd like to suggest such names as: BrandywiRe.
 Champagne, Extra Dry.
 Lager Beer.
 Pussyfoot's Delight.
 The Lasker Frappe.
 Highball Special,
 John Barleycorn, and
 Yo. Ho! and Bottle of Rum! By the time they get these names painted on the bows and on the barroom floors we'll have names ready for the rest of the fleet.
