White goods will be the favorite. Palm beach will be absolutely out of style if shoe salesmen are to be believed, local dealers say. Imitation leather shoes are being PHt on the market even now but there is not enough difference in price to create a demand for them.

The percentage of increase in cost of good shoes is less than the cost of the cheaper brands, Chanute dealers assert. Shoes that sold for $7 and $8 a year ago are now selling for $9 and $10. Shoes that a year ago were sold for $5 are now selling for $7. That very little of the increase in price of shoes is due to the war is the assertion of local men. Speculators are responsible for it, they declare.

NOTABLES ATTENDED AN INDIAN TREATY Tribes Signed Articles of Peace Near Medicine Lodge. Medicine Lodge, Feb. 17. A commemoration of the treats signed by the Kiowas-, Comanches, Cheyennes and Arapahoes at the junction of Elm Creek and Medicine river in 1867, is under way here. General Sherman was here in behalf of the United States at that time.

The late Col. W. F. Cody was in command of the troops stationed here. The English explorer, Henry M.

Stanley, was present at the signing of the treaty as a press correspondent. Mtdicine Lodge was at one time the seat of the tepee of the Indian medicine man. In the treaty negotiated here in 1867, a great part of Oklahoma was ceded to the red men for their use in order to avoid further trouble with them. Public AXEL SHOE CO.

New Orleans Newspaper Recently Sought Answer to the Question, "What Is Love'" What is love? The New Orleans (La.) Times-Picayune recently asked that question and offered prizes for In three weeks 23,761 answers were in and the mail carriers were about ready to strike. From nearly every state in the United States and from nearly every individual post office in Mississippi and Louisiana came replies. Emotional actresses present love on the stage as a sort of choking sensation, which seems about to strangle them.

Some of the answers the Times-Picayune received were smothering in their sentiment, others were facetious and others seemed to have been based on experience and were more practical. Women turned in the best replies, according to the judges. Out of fourteen prize winners nine of them were women and the women took first, second and third places. This definition won first place: "Love is the doorway through which the human soul passes from selfishness into service, and from solitude into kinship with all humanity." Second place also was given to an answer which expresses a similar wholesome sentiment: "Love is a chisel that carves into soft! -outlines the granite block of stern reality." The winner of the first prize signed herself as unmarried. The second went to a married woman, as did the third: "Love is what makes red hair 'white hair and no hair a noble The fourth is: "Love is the gentle art of being very miserable in a perfectly happy fashion."

17. While leading representatives of transportation lines, manufacture and finance, admitted, thai the embargo on freight and the congestion a railroad terminals in the East and the Middle-West presented serious obstacles, they were optimistic today concerning developments of the near future. -The decision of the British admiralty to permit neutral vessels sailing from America for Europe to undergo examination at Halifax, instead of Kirkwall, was pointed to as likely to bring relief in a short time. Hale Holden, president of the Chicago, Burlington Quincy railroad, said: 1 "The present embargo, I believe, will be of short duration. With sufficient bottoms available, I believe the situation would adjust itself in thirty days.

"The car situation is serious, of course. Last month there were 00 western cars in the East. In addition, all terminal warehouses are bursting with freight stored to release cars. This method of relief is impossible in future. "I do not believe the situation will become serious enough to cause a financial depression." George M.

Reynolds, president of the Continental and Commercial National bank, said: "The embargo situation has brought a great deal of complaint from big shippers, manufacturers and -wholesalers and we have had several requests for information as to possible loans to carry big business men who are feeling the pressure. The situation will do no harm financially at least for the present. The only financial effect will be a healthy tightening of the money market." John P. Griffin, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, said he believed shipping conditions would show great improvement within the next forty-eight hours, especially in grain. "There may be some trouble in the distribution of grain for domestic use at eastern points," said Mr.

Griffin, "but grain should be moving freely in a short time, especially for export." EASY AND CHEAP WAY TO PREPARE HOTBED Valuable Adjunct to the Growing of egetables. Manhattan, Feb. 17. iA. hotbed of sufficient size for ordinary use may be simply and easily con structed without any great outlay of money, according to M.

F. Ahearn, associate professor of horticulture in the Kansas State Agricultural col lege. 1 i'V "As an adjunct to the growing of vegetables the hotbed is almost invaluable," said Professor Ahearn. "It enables gardener to grow crops that require a long season to mature, such as tomatoes, celery, peppers and eggplant. The hotbed also may be used to advantage in starting early cabbage, onion, cu cumber and muskmelon plants.

"Hotbeds may be constructed in a number of One of the most common and serviceable is the pit method. The hotbed should be placed on the south side of a building or other good windbreak. Care Should be taken that it has good drainage. Three feet by six feet is a convenient size for a sash and as many of them be used as desired. The frame should be twelve to fifteen inches high at the back and eight to ten inches in front.

The sash may be of glass but many persons prefer muslin. Muslin is much superior to the glass if the bed is used for sweet potato plants. "The heat for hotbeds is common ly supplied by the fermentation of horse manure. That from, highly fed horses is desirable, btraw to tne amount of from one-third to one-half of the mixture should be added as the manure will not heat if it is too solid. It should be piled in a long, narrow, square-topped pile, and if verv dry should be moistened.

"If the weather is cold and the manure does not ferment readily, add a little hen manure or warm water to one part of the pile. In order to Insure uniform fermentation the pile should -be turned occasionally and all lumps broken. When the pile ic steaming throughout, which is usually in from ten to twelve days, it is ready for use. "Dig a pit two to three feet deep.

If it is not to be used until the l2st of February two feet is enough. Hotbeds prepared after the first week in March should have an 18-inch pit.

"Upon the bottom of the pit place a layer of straw or leaves two or three inches deep. Next place a layer of the fermented manure eighteen to twenty inches thick. Above this put a layer of loam soil four to eight inches deep in which the plants are to be grown. J. A.

Garrett, merchant patrolman: "The below-zero weather the first of the month killed the peach and plum buds on the trees at my home. There were plenty of them before the cold weather, but the other day when I looked at the trees I could not find a bud that was not dead. The warm weather in January forced them along to where the below-zero weather got them," Justice of the Peace J. L. Cork-well: "There is one peculiarity of dry weather in this vicinity, and that is that wells do not go dry now as they used to when the country was first being settled.

It used to be hard to get well water in an early day, and real estate agents, when they wanted to sell a farm, would arrange to have the well on the land filled with water, hauled from wherever it could be obtained, before they took a buyer to see the land." Miss Opal Wishard, director of girls' physical training in the high school, does not think the proposed changes in the girls' basket ball game will be a good thing. "It will make it so that only the stronger girls can play," she says, "and I do not think this is right. Under the present rules teamwork and skill are developed, and I think that should be the purpose of games, not Principal W. J. Williams of the high school has received notice of the proposed change.

It provides that the floor shall be divided into two fields, giving the centers a chance to attack and try for baskets the same as forwards. The guards have to stay in their half of the floor, playing on the defense entirely at present, and the forwards stay in their half of the floor. The centers play all over the field, either attacking or defending, according to which half they are in. At present the floor is divided into three fields, each of which contains four players, who cannot go out of their particular territory. The changes? were worked out by Dr.

James Naismith, head of the department of physical training at the state university and originator of basket ball, and Miss Helen Pratt, instructor in physical training for women at the university. MONEY IX SUGAR. Companies of Hawaii Had Prosperous Year. Honolulu, T. Feb.

17. Twenty-three sugar companies of Hawaii, which include all that 'are listed on the Honolulu Stock and Bond Exchange, disbursed in cash dividends in 1916 a total of $19,259,600, according to figures just made public here. Based on the parvalue of shares, the average earnings of these twenty-three companies were 27.3 per cent on the capital invested. In most cases, however, the -capital stock consists chiefly of reinvested profits, and the percentage of earnings is in some instances more than 100 per cent on the actual original cash investment. Stock dividends are not included in the figures.

The largest earnings ia proportion to capital fell to the Onomea Sugar Company, which disbursed cash dividends aggregating 55 per cent of its capital stock. Pepeekeo Sugar Company came next, with 50 per cent. SAYS POTATOES WILL GO TO $1.00 A PECK Local Wholesale Man Makes Prediction on Raising Market. Irish potatoes, the kind you are now learning to do without, will be selling for $1 a peck at retail in Chanute stores inside of ten days. That is the prediction made today by a local produce man and he says the market is mounting rapidly.

The crop shortage, inability to get cars or have them moved on fast schedules is given as the reason for the hike. The present wholesale price is well over the $3 mark at the present-time. Onions grown in the United States are also going up. A salesman yesterday offered a car to local produce men at 10 cents per pound wholesale. He was turned down but local men say they will be forced to meet his prices soon.

A car is worth at that rate about $3,000. FASHIONS IN SHOES. Canvas Low-Cuts for Men, High-Tops for Women. Canvas low-cuts will be all the rage, in men's footwear this summer. Fiber sofes will replace leather to a large extent.

Women's dress shoes will be pf the high-top, fancy variety until the extreme hot weather sets "in. Fiber soles and fabric substitutes for leather uppers will be used only on women's street shoes! The imitation leather shoes and substitutes for leather will cost almost as much as the real leather article. These are some of the early announcements of summer styles-by local shoe dealers. While there will be only a slight difference in price between the all-leather shoes and leather shoes with fiber soles, fiber soles will be worn all over the country to conserve the leather supply. There will be a great difference between the price of canvas low-cuts and leather footwear, but not enough to warrant the purchase of the substitute were it not for the fact that the leather, supply must be conserved, the shoe dealers declare.

Women will continue to wear the genuine article costing from $8 to $14 until the weather becomes too hot for the high-tops. To a less extent than the men they will also be- I I LITTLE INTERVIEWS. i Some of those competing felt called upon to drop into verse to express the lofty sentiments called forth, as for example, this: "Love means this to Phyllis Maud: Vere de Vere 'I'm (a sigh); This to Mamie Hooley 'Gawd! Ain't it swell to hook a Here are two bits of sentiment, patterned on the same idea, but in their completed state varying widely. One was submitted by a woman, the other by a man. Which one the woman wrote should.be self-evident.

One reads: "Love is a perfume you can not pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself." And the other: "Love is an insane desire to squeeze peach juice out of a This "poem" evidently was inspired by experience: "Love begins on a joggling board. With silvery moonbeams overhead; But often ends with an ironing board, And a bunch of kids to put to bed." A young woman in Ocean Springs. has decided that "love is wha; makes a man appear blissfully happy when a woman is mussing up the wisp of hair across his bald spot," while a New Orleans woman says: "Love is what leads a girl to give up a $75 job to help a man live on $60." To offset this cynical view is a rhyme which was submitted by a miss of Hattiesburg, Miss. It is not necessary to read between the lines to realize that here is one who is yearning for the "great "What love is, I can not tell; Some say it's heaven; some it's hell. But there's one truth you needn't doubt it, It's purgatory to live without it." The Times-Picayune prints the young woman's name in a booklet it has issued giving five hundred of the answers.

It is safe to say that the postmaster at Hattiesburg will snow an increase in incoming mail on that route leading past a certain young woman's home. Who wouldn't rescue a fair maiden from purgatory?

A new method of preparing nursery beds for seeine evergreen trees to elimin ate the danger of "damping off" has been developed at the Kansas State Agricultural college by Charles A.

Scott, state forester. In the future it will be possible to grow ever- gren trees successfully at a small cost. The new method used by Professor Scott is a process of steam sterilization of the nursery bed before seed ing. Damping off is a fungus dis ease to which the young trees are susceptible until after three months of age, and it is estimated that barely 25 per cent of the young stock survives the first summer. The sterilization process kills all he fungus spores and weed seeds that are present in the soil.

Thus the seed beds are absolutely free from the deadly disease, is well as weed-less during: the first summer. Experiments have been tried on several beds, to ascertain the length of time necessary to steam the ground in order to kill the spores of damping off, and it has been found that forty-five minutes is sufficient to give the best results. In beds that were not treated the trees are puny and the stand is thin, while in the steamed beds the trees are healthy and vigorous and the stand is all that could be desired. In the beds that were treated for less than forty-five minutes the condition of the trees and the stand varies according to the length of treatment. The method of steaming the seed bed is simple.

First, the soil is loosened so that the steam may penetrate into the earth, and then a large sheet Iron pan is inverted into it and weighted so that the pressure of the steam will not lift the pan. The steam is then turned into the pan from an engine. When the plot has been steamed and the pan removed, the bed is ready to be seeded. "There are many reasons why the forestry department of the college sought for new methods of handling the nursery beds of evergreens," said Professor Scott. "The superiority of evergreen trees over the deciduous varieties for windbreaks is conceded by reason of their storm-resisting qualities, and because they are much hardier than the cottonwood or any other trees that are Kansas stand-bys by tradition." VALUE OF FEEDS.

Low When Fiber Content of Feed Is High. Manhattan, Feb. 17. By comparing the guaranty of any feed with the average analyses of similar feeds its relative quality may be determined, according to A. E.

Langworthy, feedingstuffs inspector, Kansas agricultural experiment Station. "Fiber is the least valuable constituent of feeds," said Mr. Lang-worthy. "Wlhen the fiber content of a feed is high, the value of the feed is correspondingly low. "In judging the quality of white shorts from guaranty special attention should be paid to the fiber content.

If the fiber content is high, it Indicates that a large percentage of the bran coatings are present. These make a darker and coarser product, more like standard shorts. "To find the amount of any constituent of a feed which $1 will buy at a given price divide the amount of that constituent present in 100 pounds of the feed expressed in pounds and hundredths or the percentage by the given price per hundred pounds. The sum of the amounts of all of the constituents equals, of course, the total amount of material $1 will buy at that price. "Many poultry feeds contain grit in some cases as much as 20 per cent and the kind of grit has not always been specified on the label as required by law.

Both percentage and kind must be designated. A small percentage of some kinds of grit may be beneficial to confined poultry which cannot obtain a sufficient amount from other sources. The presence of such grit as common river sand in excessive amounts, however, is to be condemned as fraudulent." Mr. and Mrs. W.

W. Kelly arrived from Colony yesterday afternoon to visit the former's mother, Mrs. Lily Kelly. A. D.
