I feel that this is the psychological time for women to enter tire political field. Women are responsible for the Eighteenth amendment, they are fighting for it, today and where it is being enforced, -semen, individually and through their various clubs £nd organizations, are working zealously fee This particular enforcement. Women, such as Ruth Bryan Owen rnd Nellie Tayloe Ross have Wen standard bearers who have done 5auch toward making; politics better, liner, and more worth-while." Miss Claussn, who Is 41 years old. enters the political field as one ol the best known of Kansas Dcmo- the ac- i er will be held the first of July. All girls interested in the are asked to register at either the Maynard playground or the Union playground by Saturday.

Nine hundred anc lifty-four children played at the two playgrounds last week, in comparison to 1,054 whi played at the schools the week before. Last week was the second week that the grounds at the supervised play- two schools were open. The project is sponsored by the board of education. Instructors at Union are Humphrey Jones and Helen Stowe. Alfred Smith and neighborhood would go as far as Independence, Mo.

Bush," he said, "wns a native of New York, but later moved to Wisconsin. He came to Kansas in 1856 with 100 other young men and they all arrived in time to cast their vote for a free state. Not one of these men are now alive. Included in- the bunch were former Lyon county men. I recall only a few of them including William Richardson.

A tennis tournament for all girls by L. E. Bush, whose years of Uie in Emporia 18 years young- iii Lyon comity, gives him the right to tell of the early days. A small boy's mind does not retain all, but the wagon trains, and a few other incidents stand out in Mr. Bush's memory.

He remembers Emporia as a small settlement which his father visited hardly more frequently than the more distant points, Burlingame and Lawrence. When eight years old he remembers Emporia principally for one store at which his father traded. He remembers also the first Normal building and Soden's mill.

Mrs. Marku believes that an attractive flower garden is almost as important to a farm as rows of thriving vegetables and she has surrounded her house with thickets of perennials, shrubbery and vines, clustering along the fences and edging the wide, smooth, shaded lawn.

The garden is full of color now but it was no less gay in the spring when the iris was in bloom and a thick band ot sweet English violets that borders the walk was" a' solid mass of purple and blue. And it will continue to flourish untjl the late autumn frosts defeat it. Most of the familiar, old-fashioned flowers may be found in Mrs. Marks' garden and they are at their best during the long summer days. Here are snapdragons, larkspur, petunias, perennial sweetpeas, regal lilies, yellow daisies, calendulas, misty baby's breath, sweet rocket, roses, gaillardia, annual poppies, tall bloom-laden hollyhocks, gorgeous corn lilies, and pale yellow butter-and-eggs, crowding together in ail informal floral hedge.

The next few weeks will bring a dozen other flowers into tube roses, golden glow, perennial phlox, asters and ageratum. The white carnations have finished blooming but the gaudy zinnias are just beginning to burst their buds. Surounding a vine-covered house, sheltered by tall evergreens, the Marks garden blossoms as the rose, from violet time to the last brave chrysanthemum.

Sir: I have a wail that I would like to make known to all as I feel it is an injustice lo ev'eryone in Emporia. We have a beautiful pleasure spot south of town along the Cottonwood river, but if some action is not taken soon it will be worse than some big city's dump.

Oil and mineral matters such as alkali and soda ash, are being dumped directly into the Cottonwood about ijne-half mile above Soden's dam, by means of an open ditch. This stretch of water is an ideal place for canoeing, swimming and fishing, but in the last three weeks this large amount of refuse has made it impossible to enjoy these pleasures. If we arc not careful, our river will be like the Walnut at Winfield. There hasn't been a fish caught there in years, all because of the oil, and not only docs this oil and alkali poison the fish, but there is a hazard that some Em- porian may become poisoned through eating the fish. It seems to me that surely PS large a concern as the Santa Pe railroad, after spending so much money here in Emporia could make more adequate provisions for the disposal of their waste and refuse than by the pollution of the surrounding streams, especially when there arc strict state laws prohibiting such action.

Rcspacf.fully. John R. Smith. Santa Fe officials said today that one of the pipes leading to the company's oil dispensing trap broktf several weeks ago and a quantity of oil did flow into the Cottonwood river through a large water-drain. The condition, however, was temporary nnd the line was repaired quickly as possible.

It is not the intent of the railroad company to dump oil into the river and a large trap is located close to the oil-loading dock for this purpose, officials said, they do not believe that sludgo or potash from their treating plant had ever drained into the river. Discusses Electric Kates. To the Editor of The Gnnstte. Sir: According'to an article of June 1'J. found In the Kansas City the town of Chanutc will make no levy for municipal tax this your, the receipts from her public utilities being ample to meet all expenses.

The gas and electric departments will yield profit clos-j lo $100.000, nnd other receipts will yield $20,000 in profits. Gas rate.s in Chanute range from 35 to 50 cents, and electric rates from 3 lo fi and still make a profit to the city of SlOOiOOO. The maximum water rate in Chanutc is 25 cents a hundred cubic feet. We merely recite the abovj facts relative to Chanute. as a comparison to Uie new piecemeal ticket rate offered by the interest to the consumers of light and gas in According to income report returns, Mr.

Insull is one of the wealthiest men now in the United States. Tho chain light and gas plants owned by Mr. Insull furnish a steady m- come to him, because of the exorbitant rates exacted from the con- Miming public. A record -shoeing the valuation of all property owned in Lyon county by Mr. Insull for taxation purposes should be on file in Topeka with the public service commission or utilities commission a.s a basis for rates charged the consumers of light and gas.

and also a valuation as a basis for taxation. We would like to know the value of this property as a basis for taxation, and also the basis of valuation for rates charged the consumers of light and as. We would thank the editor The Gazette or the city commission to asceriditi if possible, and iniorni the public to the difference existing. Respectfully. Wesley Ta; Icr.

Machines vj. Men. 'o the editor of The Gazette. paragraphs relative to the number of men out pf Louder and. more adjoining paragraphs extol the virtues of electric power and devices, especially under "private ownership." Except for perhaps combustion engines and the machines made possible by their use, nothing you can think of has put more men out of work than electric power and its machines.

It is characteristic of the American 2-spat mind that the way put men to work is to have more of' the things that put men out of v.ork; the way to make the farmer more prosperous is to put him in more killing competition with more irrigated lands and more big mechanized farms! Great is the American Journalist! Respectfully, A. MacDonald. Wants Better Ball Field! To the Editor, of The Gazete, Sir: Emporia today has one of the best ball teams outside ol organized baseball. Not only a good team, but the players on and off the field are gentlemen, and the teams being brought, in. play clean ball and the Stm games are a credit.

But they are compelled to play on a town lot. so to speak. Two balls were lost in the high weeds back of first base Sunday. Gloves and balls arc lost in right and center field. A fan livinjr 15 miles away volunteered to bring in a mowing machine if the community had none.

No foul lines arc marked, no flags arc up. coaches' boxes if marked at all. generally are backwards. No batter's box and no 45-foot line are marked and home base and pitcher's box need working over. I am informed that the Legion has a lease en the park and is to keep it, in playing condition tor 10 per cent of the gate receipts.

A little money spent on the park will in iny judgment well repay the Lesion in increased receipts. People won't continue to patronize baseball in a town lot. I will give all the time necessary to put it in shape if the Legion will furnish the power. A good ball team, why not a goccl play ground? Sunday it was far from Emporia standards. Respectfully.

To the Editor of The Gazette, 1 Sir: According to press reports given by "The Kansas City Stnr" and other papers and magazines, the tariff bin ccntly enacted by congress after 14 months of discussion by that body i is admitted as not a perfect tariff.

expense ot running congress i one year amounts to about COO, while the agitation of the tar' Iff has been conducted to divert the UiinWns public mind. Merely (i great game of politics has taken place. A perfect tariff has never existed, us it is only a placed on producers, for the benefit of the captains of industry. Ths homes of the country are paying over $20,000.000.000 each year on aocount of tariff, while producers are selling their products in free' trade market. When Mr.

Hoover signs this new tariff bill, stocks and bonds on the slock exchange should commence to sell, and another bunch of suckers snared by the gamblers. The first tariff law was written by Hamilton in 1189. and was levied on 51 articles imported into the United States. The pur- pose of the tariff at thnt time was to encourage home mnnutacturics. and not to 'rob the people of the country of over 520,000.000.000 each under disguise of protecting labor.

The embargo placed on wheat by both Germany and i France will' protect the farmers of both of those countries, and a like embargo continued in force by the United States against meat from i Argentina will help stockmen from Lyon county. An embargo on all agricultural products raised in lor- eign soil, that we produce at home, would do more to stabilize our productions nnd markets, beiides we would then have time to read about, jnd study other thinss worth while. Respectfully. I J. Wesley Taylor.
