In parts of Switzerland shepard girls wear men's clothes.

In Siam, where old maids are unknown, as all girls marry, the recognized length of an engagement is one month. In Japan the fashions in women's clothes have remained practically unchanged for two thousand five hundred vears. A magnificent statue of Queen Victoria is soon to be erected in the capital city of British Columbia, which bears her name. Women employed as elevator operators in New York state are prohibited by law from working before 7 o'clock in the morning or after 10 o'clock at night. The Serbian laws respecting WOmen are unsurpassed anywhere in the world, the husband being responsible not only for his wife, but for his unmarried sisters.

the General Federation of Women's Then biennial council meeting of Clubs to be held in St. Louis in November will observe the first anniversary of the armistice with a great patriotic song service. Few hunters have done more to rid. the western range of stock-killing animals than Mrs. Ada Tingley, an Idaho huntress with a record of having killed and trapped 300 pedatory animals in 17 months.

It is a popular belief that, because of the celebration of Queen Alexandra's Rose Day, the rose is her Majesty's favorite flower. This is not so, however. Her favorite is the Malmaison carnation, which she was largely instrumental in making popular in England. The Serbian women rank among the most intelligent in the world. No Serbian girl would feel that she could hold up her head in society unless she could speak at least four languages; and there is scarcely a Serbian woman but can play some musical instrument.

While the late, Madame de la Rocha was pioneer of woman flyers she was not the first woman to as(end in a heavier-than-air machine. This distinction belongs to Madame Shereh Peltier, a French sculptress. who made an ascent at Turin in 1908, M. Delagrange being the pilot. The first woman to become honorary colonel of a regiment was Princess Charlotte of Prussia, who married Czar Nicholas and who on becoming a widow, asked her brother, then king of Prussia, to transfer 10 her the colonelcy of the Sixth Regiment of Prussian Cuirassiers.

He did so, and thus the fashion started. One of the most versatile of Britain's peeresses is Gertrude Lady Decies, who is now converting her country house into a hotel which she intends to manage herself. Lady Decies is a celebrated authority on cats, dogs, and birds, her breeds of cats and Pekingese dogs being worldfamous.

W. C.W. KUEHNER, The Jeweler "Talk to Me About was drilled 23 feet in the sand. The seventh and largest gusher is an offset to the Ward and Wilhoit on the Leydig in section 18-23-4 and is in the heart of the present defined limits of what is believed to be the greatest oil pool ever discovered in Butler county. When the tools were withdrawn the oil spouted a great stream that taxed all the tankage accessories that had been furnished in preparation for the coming in of the well.

At 8 o'clock the oil was pouring from a six-inch pipe at the rate of 150 barrels an hour. This is tne fourth gusher that the National Refining Co. has secured in this region. The others are the Eyestone Nos. 2 and 3 and 4 in section 8-23-4.

Oil men look for this to be another Eldorado pool. VETERANS OPPOSE PROPOSED LEAGUE ONLY ONE MAN CAST A VOTE IN FAVOR OF IT.

6 -The announcement of the Magnolia Oil Co. that a 3.000-foot test well will be sunk near the Pixlee test in southern Lyon county has revived the oil game in this section. Wagons are hauling material to the location near an old test which developed oil sand two years ago. Oil leasing has been active all summer and further developments are expected. May Curtail Work Eldorado, Sept.

There is a rumor current in Eldorado that several of the big oil companies will enter into an agreement not extend development work for a period of six months or until the cost of, materials in reduced. Every item of expense entering into development has increased tremendously during the past few months, it is said, but none more than the wages of the rig builders. The opening up of the Texas fields has made rig builders scarce, and it is reported that the companies have made the situation more difficult by bidding against each other for the builders' services. Consequently in the past year the wages paid these men for ten hours' work has jumped from $8 and $10 per day to $15, $18 and even $25 a day. Oil men say that rigs that once cost about $1,000 it now costs $2,500 to $3,000 to build.

One instance is reported where a gang of builders was paid $25 a day and the foreman $50 a day to go to Texas and erect a rig. The condition has also had the added effect of making all -other classes of labor in the field jealous of the high wages the rig builders are drawing, and of causing them to insist that their wages be hiked. The situation is reported to have reached such a stage that heroic measures will be taken. The cost of development is almost prohibitive and when a test is made in territory that is not proved, oil men cannot afford the additional expense on top of the gambler's chances they are already taking. As indicated, there may be definite action taken by the larger companies, cutting off the development work, while the prevailing conditions already have had the effect of, keeping the smaller companies from making progress.

Oil Well a Surprise Eldorado, -The biggest surprise that has been staged in the Butler county oil fields in a long time was announced today when the Niagara Oil Gas on the No. 2 Unger, in the northwest corner of ter 39-26-6, pulled the liner and the west, half of the southwest quardiscovered they had an oil well good for at least 125 barrels' settled production. Biggest Well in Peabody Peabody, Sept. 10-The biggest well yet hit in the Peabody-Elbing field was brought in yesterday by the Lataron farm, With the National Refining company, on the tocl3 still in the hole the well is flowing 3,009 barrels.

Counties Suffering Most are in Norte Central Part, Considered Kanner Corn Region- -Wheat Plowing is Difficult. Topeka, Sept. 10-The corn crop is following the route of the wheat yield through the "vale of disappointment" in Kansas, according to the monthly crop report for Septentber just issued by Edward C.

Paxton, federal crop statistician for Kansas. It reveals that the continned drouth during the month of August caused a slump of nearly 000.000 bushels, conditions on SepItember 1 reported front all parts of the state showing an estimated yield of 67,562,000 bushels as compared wath 81,421,000 bushels, estimated on conditions of August 1. Mr. Paxton figures that the average production will be 47 per cent of a normal crov. The corn yield is about twothirds of the average crop of the last five bushels.

Rain the latter part of August is improving the quality of the corn in some localities where it was still in a state of maturing, but Mr. Paxton says the tardy arrival of moisture will not increase the gross yield. Counties suffering worse in the corn slump are the north central, as rule the banner corn counties of the state. Jewell county which many times has carried off the laurels in corn production will get but per cent of a crop; Cloud county 18 per cent; Osborne 27; Republic 22; ant Washington 14. The extreme western and extreme eastern counties are making the best showing, with prospects running from 50 to 80 per cent.

Prospects for a big wheat acreage are not promising, according to Mr. Paxton's report. Instead of anything like the 11,500,090 acres of wheat Kansas put in last fall, the indications are that this year's plantling will be limited 7,000,000 in the or less. Because of grasshoppers western counties, farmers will not sow their wheat until very late in the season. Thus far, the soil ha; too dry throughout the state been, preparing the soil for wheat planting.

The hay crop is the best in three per years, acre wild as hay compared yielding with 1.15 .6 tons per acre last vear. The hay crop will reach 1,187,000 tons the report states. Kafir, milo and feterita have proven their power to withstand drouth, it being estimated they will yield a crop 79 per cent of bushels. The annual number of pilgrims to Mecca often exceeds 100,000.
