Unnecessary expenses were cut, and family budgets were studied carefully with a view of eliminating waste. Even small savings, when multiplied on a national scale, amount in this way to enormous sums. If every man, woman and child in the United States should save 'only $10 a year, the total national saving would amount to a billion dollars.

But it is quite fair to say that the increased economy these days has exceeded that figure. It is probable that additional economies, Charles VanDyke has remodeled 1 uesday evening.

Although he had been in poor health for many years, Mr. Painter was never bedfast, and had left his bed and was putting on his clothes at 6:30 o'clock this morning when he suddenly collapsed, and expired a few seconds later. The end was peaceful, his heart merely ceasing to beat. Sunday afternoon he was able to get into a buggy and ride down town. For many years Mr.

Painter had suffered stomach trouble, and a few years ago his heart became weak, indicating hardening of the arteries. A year ago last fall he had severe heart attacks, but the following year was able to be at his shop most of the time.

He Is now visiting the Brad VLv- its man at iiean iaR.e. Mr. Essman expresses the sentiment that prevails among nearly all the persons who live along the lake. They believe it is destined to become one of the most popular and most congested summer resorts in the central west. Property along the shore has soared sky high and they say over there a desirable lot on the lake front will sell for as much as a lot on Commercial street in Atchison.

As a matter of fact no property is changing hands as the owners will not sell for love or money. Bean lake is the finest natural lake Ii Missouri. The water is clear and pure; it has a depth in rlaces of more than 25 feet; its fishing is improving and its bathing simply cannot be equalled without going to the northern lakes. Bean lake has the natural advantages and now that attractive and delightful resorts have been built along its banks it is sure to be a great drawing card. People, particularly these who live in the cities, are crazy to go places in the evenings and on Sundays and Bean lake's popularity a summer resort is sure to increase.

Mr. Esman's place is as example of progress being made in that locality. Five years ago he started with a capital of $23 and half of that was borrowed. Xow he has a big, handsome store; makes deliveries for miles around in an automobile; has modern dancing pavilion with an -I-vttk- piano as music, and has a Fed: fountain that is as good as those i und in the cities.

Mrs. Kate Winterringer, one of Atchison's pioneers, having come here in 1857, died at 8 o'clock yesterday morning at her home at 1515 South Sixth street, of cancer of the stomach. She was 65 years old in February, and practically her entire life had been spent in Atchison.

With the exception of a couple of years in Washington county, this state, Atchison had been her home since girlhood She had been in failing health a year, and had been bedfast fifteen weeks. Mrs. Winterringer was born In Pennsylvania, her maiden name having been Kate Covert. Her father was John Covert. She came with him to Kansas, and was married to George W.

Winterringer in Atchison in 1868. Mr. Winterringer survives her, as do four of seven children born to them. The living are all daughters, and are as follows: Mrs. A.

J. Coburn, Farmersville, Mrs. J. R. Coburn, Warnock, Mrs.

Leslie, Gra-vette. and Mrs. Herbert Neer-man. of Atchison. Mrs.

A. J. Coburn and Mrs. Neerman were with her when she died. Mr.

Winterringer is also here. The daughters in Kentucky and Arkansas have sickness In their families and were unable to come for the funeral, which was held this afternoon at 3 p. m. The services were at the Methodist and the burial in Mount Vernon cemetery. A.

Montgomery, who painted the corn picture for two Atchison Corn Carnival souvenirs, was in town yesterday. Montgomery is known as the "Farmer Painter," and has painted a corn picture, w-hich, he says, has been sold to a New York bank for $5,000. He has sold a hundred small corn paintings to an art dealer, and works on them wherever he goes. He was born in Illinois, on a farm, but was brought to Kansas by nis father when seven years old, and lived near Fort Scott. At ten, he began to draw, and has kept it up ever since, a period of nearly half a century.

For a time, he was a bound boy, but in 1886-7, taught school at Vermillion; two years later, he taught drawing in the Topeka schools. He Is now a Calia-fornia enthusiast, and owns land out there, near Honey lake, which he says is worth $363,000. One of his corn pictures brings him in a $100 a month, and was exhibited at the Paris exposition of 1900. You have probably seen several different states and her de-jsanta Fe street.

llirhtful cottages are being engaged months ahead. Fred Stein, of Atchison, Is contributing very materially to the attractiveness of Bean lake as a summer resrrt. However, his work has been delayed and he docs not expect to be entirely ready for business be-fi re June 1. Mr. Stein is investing a good many thousand dollars in his resort which is located on the historic Kirkpatrick island.

He wil! have "a large ar.d modern dr.r.ce hall, numerous cottages both running water and elec-trie Pghts a bathing beach, tennis ciurt, baseball grounds and many other thir.gs. The extensive improvements Mr. Stein is making will prove to be a wonderful advertisement for The Jewell Republican wants to know what the movie censors in Topeka propose to do with "Ten Nights in a Bar Room."

Beef was advanced another half cent by the packing houses to-day, making the price in Atchison 13 cents by the carcass or nearly as high as it ever was.

It has advanced half a cent a week now for three weeks. Miss Helen Moore and Fred Stein, who w-ill be married this month, are preparing for housekeeping at their cottage at Bean lake. Among other things they have a garden and they are laying it out in the shape of a heart. Mrs. John J.

Ingails entertained a few of the South Atchison neighbors of her early married life with an old-fashioned tea party this afternoon in compliment to one or them, Mrs. J. V. Bryning, who is visiting here from St. Louis.

Forrest Latensei1, of Kansas City, visited over Sunday with his wife, who is staying at the home of Mrs. Herman Latenser, of 1127 Kansas avenue. Their son, Raymond, has entered St. Louis college, to finish the term of school. Sent in: "There ought to be a law compelling automobile owners to either build private garages or keep their cars in public garages.

There are several North Atchison men who make garages out of the street in front of "their homes." On a hillside in the forest on the Intfen farm, near the orphans home, is a tree the base of which is entirely surrounded by a solid rock. The rock is about eight feet in diameter. The hole in its center is a foot in diameter through which the tree grows.

Mr.

and Mrs. Alfred Seeber acted as sponsers yesterday at the christening of the infant son of Mrs. Will Thomas, of Meridan, at the Trinity Lutheran church. The baby was mimed Alfred Madison. Mrs.

Thomas is a sister of. Ernest Peuker, who lives north of town. An Atchison grocer, who sells to some of the best families 'in town, says that one of the best tables set in Atchison is for the Western Union linemen in their car near the union depot. The meals are prepared by a man and his wife who are paid an excellent salary and all expenses. Walter Brackbill says the F.

W. Woolworth people, who have a store in Atchison and of which Mr. Brack-bill Is manager, now have 45 stores in the British Isles, having opened up 14 in 1914. Altogether, the Wool-worth people have 747 stores. There are two other companies.

with 231 stores between them. Mr. and Mrs. Forrest Warren were in Atchison last night enroute from Clovis. N.

to Vermillion. Forrest is making a good recovery from an operation for appendicitis, but isn't very strong yet. Those who saw Mrs. Warren are convinced Forrest picked off a prize when he married her. They were guests of Mr.

and Mrs. Joe McGee for supper. While enroute looking for work, W. C. Yost, of North "Thirteenth street, stopped in Kansas City and found his sister, Mrs.

B. B. Mullens, very ill with pneumonia. He returned to Atchison so his mother, Mrs. J.

B. Yost, could go to the bedside of her daughter. Mr. Yost went to work for Mangelsdorf this morning. He formerly worked for C.

W. Eick. Alphonso Lewis, whose recent marriage caused such a furore in Atchison's colored society circles, has opened a fashionable cafe at 112 South Fourth street. Alphonso left Atchison to become a Pullman porter out of New York. There he resigned his position to take up the study of the new dances and opened up a dancing academy.

He returned to Atchison as dancing master but now it is too warm for dancing he has decided there is a good opening here for a fashionable cafe. Henry Field, the seedman of Shenandoah, says it is easier to get a stand of alfalfa than clover and one of his recent monthly seed magazines showed a picture of his alfalfa field which came from May planting. It Jefferson county a farmer had a tract of land which was unprofitable because of its location. It had been ccrned to death. Two years ago the ground lay idle and a year ago last fall he had 40 acres of it plowed.

Last spring he sowed it to alfalfa and clover with no nurse crop and secured a splendid stand. Three young men who will receive degrees in June were members of the class of 1911 of the Atchison high school. They are Ralph Shelly, who will receive a degree in electrical engineering at the State Agricultural college" at Manhattan; Blair Hackney, who will get the A. B. degree at Kansas university; and DeLaskie Miller, who will be graduated from Pinceton university and receive the A.

B. degree. Ralph Shelly may go into the automobile business, Blair Hackney will either take up advertising or go into the Blair mill, and DeLaskie Miller intends to go into the insurance business. GEORGE II. PAINTER.

Brown, both of Atchison, and a sister, Mrs. James Heather, In Guildford, England. George H. Painter was a gentleman of the old school, which means that he was precise in his manners, polite and affable, and much devoted io his family and church. While he was set in his opinions, he was always calm and inoffensive in stating his views, and won many real friends.

He was a student of the Bible, loved to talk about his religion, and often remarked, half seriously, that he should have been a minister. Nothing him better than to attend Sunday school and be asked to untangle some intricate knot in the lesson. At the same time he was a' modest person, and never undertook to monopolize the time of any class, congregation or person. As a father he was very devoted. His wife having died many years ago, he tenderly reared his two daughter in the way that wag right, and did his utmost to give them the training their deceased mother would have administered.

His memory will long be cherished. George Henry Painter was born February IS, 1845, near Cranleighi, England. Receiving a common school education in England, he came to Toronto, Canada, when he was sixteen, and lived with an uncle for several years. There he learned the dry goods business. From Toronto he went to Chicago, where he learned the furniture business.

In Chicago he also was active in religious work, and became a personal friend of Dwight Moody, lived in the same house. About 1863 he entered the furniture business at Hillsdale, where he eventually became proprietor of a very large furniture stcre. However, the panic of 1873 rurned him, as it did thousands of other business men, and in 1880, he came to Atehison, to recuperate from his financial losses. Here he first established a furniture repair shop, and in the course of time extended the business to include awning and mattress manufacturing and upholstering. Considering his struggle for health, he did well here in a business way.

His factory is at 214 North Fifth street. tfis son-in-law, Elmer See, has been associated with him in business for a dozen or more years. Before the M. E. church (South) disbanded in Atchison Mr.

Painter was a stalwart pillar of that organization, and one of the great regrets of his life was the scattering of that congregation. During recent years he wor Everything Indicates that the Missouri Pacific will grant the Blair elevator a satisfactory lease, and insure for Atchison ancsther new concrete storage elevator. Representatives of the railroad will be here to-morrow to take up the matter of the lease with W. A. Blair.

The "man eating" horse that was exhibited at Lrnwrence the other day and ridden by cowboys from "101 Ranch" for a moving picture concern, is owned by William Ross, of Havana, an uncle of Tom Garvey, of 1044 Mound street. The horse recently bit off a finger of Ross' right hand. Benedict's church owns a piece of the true cross, and this is the date the true cross was discovered. Therefore those who attended the 8 o'clock mass at St. Benedict's church this morning were permitted to see it It is about inch and a half long, and is preserved in a case with a glats lid.

A. V. Pauls a Central Branch postal clerk, expects to go to Cheyerne, shortly to see if he can make a trade with Harold Bump, a formerly of Atchison man, who is also a postal cleric, running between Cheyenne and Pocatello. Idaho. They also expect to trade residences and furniture.

Bump is anxious to return to Atchison. Mrs. Arthur Mosc-s, who before her marriage was Miss Fay Chisham, of Melick family in St. Joe. Will French says that while soldiering under Fred Funston in the Philippines, when the bullets began to fly Funston always commanded the soldiers to get down, but never thought about himself.

Contractors says that ordinary carpenters are taking lots of their work away by figuring jobs themselves. The contractors are talking of organizing. They plan to refuse to hire carpenters who take contracts. Miss Gabrielle Evans, of Vogue, was the guest of Mrs. G.

L. Hooper, in St. Joe yesterday. Before her marriage Mrs. Hooper was Miss Zella Hill, of Atchison, and associated with Miss Evans in the millinery business.

John E. Remsburg, of Potter, says that Geniting apples are playing out in this section. Years ago they were a fine ea-ting apple but of late they are so full of imperfections and so small that they are practically worthless. There were special services at St. Benedict's church this morning, the occasion being the Feast of the Finding of the Holy Cross.

A piece of the actual cross was exhibited in the church and special blessing bestowed on the faithful. Little Marian Wralters, who has had so much trouble with one of her lower limbs, is in Omaha where a specialist is seeing what can be done for her. The child's mother, Mrs. Laura Walters is with her and both are visiting Mrs. Walters brother, Dick Seitz.

In some sort of a rumpus at Cu.n-mings j-esterday, Leslie Bilderback was. considerably beat up and claims his assailants were his cousins, Ed and Allan Bilderback. He talked this morning of getting out a warrant for their arrest but was advised to think it over another day. W. J.

Bailey, who lived on a farm many years, and is faithful to everything connected with a farm, does not like our home-grown potatoes; he thinks Northern grown potatoes are much better. On the other hand, Mart Miller says the home-grown potato is the best grown anywhere. Gail O'Neil, little daughter of Mrs. Laura O'Neil, of 1515 Commercial street, who has been having serious trouble with her eyes the past twelve weeks, has partially recovered sight in both eyes. For a time she was unable to see, and it was feared that blindness would result.

The trouble, however, responded to the efforts of an occullst. Mrs. John E. Remsburg, of Potter, Is one of the good, old-fashioned cooks who serves greens and can make a delightful dish from wild lettuce. She is remarkable in another respect as not a day passes in summer that she does not go fishing.

She is probably more than 60 years of age and recently climbed to the summit of Pike's Peak. A bride and groom boarded a train one night, and the groom said to the conductor: "Mister, we want the best accommodations on this here train for the night." "Looking for a berth, I suppose?" inquired the conductor. "A birth? Thunderation, no!" said the groom. "We've just married! What we want is a place to spend the night." Mrs. Alice Hubbard, who visited in Atchison last summer, sailed from New York last Saturday on the Lusi-tania, with her husband.

Elbert Hubbard. Before the ship sailed, several of the passengers, including Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard, received anonymous telegrams saying the ship would be blown up by a submarine, and warning them to stay at home. An Atchison man expects to see $2.50 wheat as a result of the European war.

Natural laws will likely prohibit such a high price. People would quit eating bread, just as they cut down on meat wljen the prices got too high. Reporters are not supposed to have any business sense, but this one believes we will have $1 wheat before we have $2 wheat. Little hope is held out for the recovery of M. J.

Cloyes. He Is suffering with an obstruction of the bcwels, and his condition is extremely critical. It was reported about noon to-day that he was dead, but the report was untrue. Physicians hope to keep hi'm alive at least until the arrival of his sons, Frank and Mark Cloyes, who will be here this evening from California. Mrs.

Mark Cloyes is with them. It is supposed that the best blue grass in the world grows in the Gene-seo valley, in New York state, and that the next best grows in Kentucky. But Governor Bailey says the hills around Atchison produce better blue grass than either of the sections nam- United States since last summer. This increased saving will undoubtedly go a long way, both in Europe and America, to repair the ravages of war. How far it will go is an open question.

Indeed, one well known authority, Theodore H. Price, rc ntly published an interesting speculation a3 to whether wrars really cost anything. He pointed out that the e3timo.ted cost of the present war for six months is six billion dollars, although this figure probably is low. Assuming the population of Europe to be 450,000,000, and the same average saving per Inhabitant $15 for the same period, the. cost of the war, he stated, had been paid by saving.

This, of course, is an extreme view and fails entirely to take into account the indirect waste caused by war, the stoppage of industry, the economic loss of the services many millions of men, the destruction of large portions of the world's credit system, and the like. Yet it is only fair to point out that in this country, at least, renewed habits of thrift and economy are rapidly atoning for the loss by the war and the resulting stringency have brought Upon us. Our credit system has been brought down to the soundest and most solid basis. There has been a wide liquidation of floating- debt, and the way funds are mounting up in the banks by the hundreds of millions of dollars means that when normal conditions are renewed all these dollars will be mobilized in a vast army of peace for the rejuvenation of our industry and for a period of such activity and prosperity as we perhaps never have known. Carlo Fischer, business manager of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, and former 'cello soloist, was in town yesterday, calling on old friends.

He has been out with the orchestra a few-days, and took advantage of the opportunity to visit Atchison, where he lived three years. While living here, he played the 'cello a good deal, at amateur concerts, but, after leaving Atchison, went abroad, studied hard, and became so much of an artist that he traveled with three of the best orchestras in this country. Mrs. Elizabeth Raterman was made happy by Carlo Fischer's visit. He lived at her home some of the time he was in Atchison, and Mrs.

Raterman thinks he is as fine a man as her sons, Charley and John Raterman. which is as high a compliment as she can pay any man. Fred Mueller is a neighbor of Barney Lyons and was given the key to the Lyons home when they left for California a month ago. Yesterday evening Mr. Mueller got on the train at Nortonville which 'brought the Lyons home and he told them about what a sorry sight their lawn and garden presented and how hard they would have to work digging dandelions.

They stopped down town for supper and when they arrived at home there was Mr. Mueller with the house opened and lighted up to receive them. This morning, when they looked out, there was their lawn in perfect condition with the grass cut and the dandelions dug out, the garden made and tended to in first class shape. It is wonderful what fine neighbors there are in Atchison. That Atchison should delay all needed paving until next spring in the interest of securing the reopening of Atchison's paving brick plant, or the establishment of a new one near the coal mine, is the opinion of James M.

Chisham, who has served several terms as a member of the Atchison city council, and who is a close observer of municipal matters. Mr. Chisham believes if the city will, during the coming summer and next fall and winter, lay out enough paving for the spring and sumer of 1916, it will be an easy matter to secure a brick plant. Mr. Chisham is undoubtedly right about it.

Several streets need repaving now, and their improvement cannot be delayed longer than next year. One of these streets is Commercial. E. W. Howe and his niece, Adelaide, leave on the 16th for a visit to B.

B. Brooks, in Wyoming. A long time ago, Mr. Howe hunted big game with Mr. Brooks; he made seven trips out there, but of late years both men have grown fat, and no longer engage in the rough exercise of hunting.

Instead, they will flsh for trout in the mountain streams which abound in the vicinity of the Brooks ranch. Since Mr. Howe hunted with Mr. Brooks, and invested in the sheep business with him, Mr. Brooks has been governor of Wyoming twice.

He has a wonderful place at the foot of the Rattlesnake range of the Rocky Mountains, and owns two automobiles, in addition to many head of cattle, horses and sheep On the evening of May 20 the Kanza Campfire Girls will give the play, "Poyylanna," under the direction of Miss Gladys Parker, at the high school auditorium. The part of Pollyanna will be played by Mildred Loren, who Is so winnlngly pretty as to be particularly adapted to the part. The others in the cast are: Gail Whitaker, Neva Shoemaker, Catherine Cain, Lorene Jacobs, Elizabeth Lake, Marie Hekelnkaemper, Miss Susie Gilman, Erwin Clausen, Anna Park, Virginia Fox, Blanche Busby, Marjorie Fox, Helen Mount. Eugenia Smith, Mary Ramsay, Kathryn Challiss, Russell Davis and Miss Katherine Bolman. the lake and will pave the way for still greater things in the summer resort line.

This article Is not an advertisement but was written by a reporter who visited Bean lake yesterday and who was amazed at the Improvements that have been made and are bing made. He has been affected himself by the contagion of enthusiasm, which Is so virulent at Bean lake, and believes that where scores visited it last summer hundreds will flock there this summer.

"Although only a fe experiments with clipping of lodged wheat have been performed at the Kansas station, the results of these few lead us to believe that it will be advisable not to mow the wheat at this time," says L. E.

Call, professor of agronomy. "We have mowed wheat two or three different times at this station. A small field of wheat which lodged in the spring of 1911 was clipped with a mowing machine on May 6. The weather then turned off dry so that the wheat was decidedly damaged where the mower was run. The clipped wheat yielded 31 bushels to the acre and ripened ten days later than the undipped portion of the field, which yielded 57 bushels to the acre."
