Appointed Postmaster at Wichita. Capt. John H. Shields, a poet and master at Wichita, was a member of the platform committee of the Democratic convention held in Wichita in 1901. He offered an institute for the tabulation of handwriting, enforcing the law. The statute was adopted by the committee, and it was presented that form to the convention and there adopted. That was the first group of the hope of the Democrat party which culminated in their success at the polls in 1912. Mr. Shields, coor that as his greatest achievement in his many years of service to the cause of Democracy in Kansas. Capt. Shields is known by perhaps as many people in Wichita as any other man and practically every one he is acquainted with is his friend. Republicans, Democrats and persons of every political affiliation counted him as a trail of great merit as many fine parts. It was still prudent and grateful to his friends, to himself and to Democrat everywhere that one so to a trial and able worker and self counsel in the party should have, in this the first Democrat administration for twenty years, been chosen for the important position of postmaster for the in troops of the state of Kansas. The volunteer be passing through this office in order.

Demonstrate everywhere are commending the national administration for its choice. If all its acts would be as good as this one it will go down in history as one of the great national administrations. If President Wilson continues throughout his administration to make as few mistakes in his appointments and in an administrative capacity he will be recognized as all as one of the really great members of this country. The Plaid Leader highly commended President Wilson for the appointment of Capt Shields and congratulated the people of Wichita and Capt Shields. They have our best wishes for the future. The appointment of Capt Shields is a credit to Senator Thompson, who recommended him and provided his appointment by President Wilson and the confirmation of the appointment to the Senate.

With an expenditure of half a dollar or even less and an hour's time a seed corn tester may be made at home that will answer every purpose. This simple device for selecting good seed ears is known as the "rag doll tester," probably because it resembles nothing more than a rag doll when it is rolled up and put to soak in a pit of water. Its advantage was proved in several years' test of it on the Iowa method of experiment station, will it stay that it will select good ears as satisfactorily as the best expensive manual testers. Buy a few yards of sheeting of good quality and tear it into strips eight inches wide and from three to five inches long. If it is planned to use the strips, a number of times from the edges, as otherwise the travellers sometimes disarrange the kernels in an rolling. Down the middle of each cloth strip lengthwise draw a line with a heavy penell. Then draw squares about three inches wide and number the squares. Wet one of the strips thoroughly and stretch it out in front of the ears to be tested. Take six kernels from car No 1 and place in square No 1; take six kernels from car No 2 and place in square No 2, and so on. When the cloth has been filled begin at either end and roll the cloth up. If the cloth is well moistened the kernels will not push out of place. When the cloth has been rolled the a string around each end rather loosely or, better still, use a rubber band. Number this roll No 1. Then proceed with No 2 in the same way. As many rolls may be used as are necessary to contain the corn which one has to test. From thirty to fifty ears can be tested in each roll, depending upon the length of the strip of cloth. After the rolls have been filled they should be placed in a bucket or cup of water where they may remain from two to eighton hours, depending upon the preference of the operator. At the end of this time pour off the water and turn the bucket or tub upside down over the rolls or use a common dry goods box for this purpose. A couple of small pieces of wood should be laid under the rolls and one edge of the pallet should be lifted from one half to one inch in order to give ventilation.

Your hair arranged in the latest style. Rev. Gco. McNeal, of Kansas City, was an agreeable visitor at The Plain-dealer office Tuesday. He was here to see Gov. Hodges in regard to securing a parole for one Alfred Black, who is confined in the state penitentiary. Miss Edith Jarrett was hostess at a jolly little party at her home, 1231 Memoir Tuesday evening. The young people enjoyed themselves throughout the evening at games and dancing and at a late hour a dainty lunch was served. All enjoyed themselves and agreed that they had been royally entertained. 0 Our time honored friend, Mr. J. H. B. Taylor, of the state house force, started in on his vacation the week. He remarked when asked by a reporter if he intened leaving the city about as follows: "Guess I'll stay at home. I did think once that I would surprise my old pal, Joe B. Bass by blowing in upon him out in Frisco, but this hot weather has took all of the run out of me." Backward, turn backward, oh time in your flight and give us a girl whose skirts are not tight. Give us a girl whose charms though a few are not exposed by too much peek-a-boo. Give us a girl no matter what age, who won't use the streets as a vaudeville stage. Give us a girl not, too sharply in view; dress her in skirts that the sun won't shine through.—Walt Mason. 0 Messrs Leon Simms and Andy Wallace, members of the printing fraternity, were inspecting the Negro end of the printing business in Kansas City a few days last week. They say that our former "cub," Mr. Arthur W. Harris owns and operates a fine job printing plant, and is turning out work according to the skillful training he received on The Plaindealer. We educated the boy in the printing business and feel proud of him. Prof. Prod. Roundtree, Hon. John M. Wright and Mrs. Cora M. Rav, delegates to the National Negro Business League which met in Philadelphia, Pa., last week have returned and report the session as being one of pleasure and profit. Going and coming, they spent the time visiting the places of interest and making notes of Negro business progress, and they declare that after all, none of those big Eastern cities haven't anything on Topeka. The Baptist churches of the city are busily engaged in making arrangements to have representatives at the National Baptist Convention and "Daily Years of Freedom" jubilee which will soon be in session in the city of Nashville, Tennessee 0 Mrs. J. R. Lallard and children, who spent several days in the city, guests of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Hubbard, 1019 Washington street, left Monday for their home at Kansas City. They report a very pleasant visit while here. 0 Miss Ada Upshaw very hospitably entertained a few of her friends with an all day outing yesterday, at her beautiful suburban home in Seabrook. At high noon the girls were given a repast of which Miss Upshaw alone is capable. After a day of revelry they departed for their respective homes hoping to be invited to this cozy home sometime in the close future Several of the ladies of the city visited Mrs. Martha Bell at the State Hospital this week and found her in splendid health, considering that she is nearing the century mark. Mrs Bell's home is at Emporia, but she is well known in Topeka. Some of the visitors calling this week she had not seen for ten years or more, but she recognized them and was very glad to see them and expressed a desire to see her friends oftener. Our townman, Mr. H. C. Wilson arrived one day this week from an extended trip through Canada, where he was the guest of his son, daughters and their husbands. He was accompanied home by his little grandson, Master LeRoy Wilson, Alexander, who will conduct things around the Wilson home and attend school this winter. Time prevents us giving Mr. Wilson's observations of life in the great Northwest, so our readers will have to wait until next week, when Mr. Wilson will tell all and we will endeavor to present same to you. Mr. J. F. Rickards, of Detroit, Michigan, Most Sovereign Grand Commander of Scottish Rite Masons, is officially visiting the Consistories of his jurisdiction, and made the Topeka Shiners a visit Wednesday. In company with Dr. Taylor, who drove him over the city in his handsome car, they made The Plaindealer an agreeable call. Mr. Rickard's itenary will include Omaha, Chicago, Kansas City, Wichita, Topeka, Denver, Salt Lake, Portland, Spokane, Winnepeg and Minneapolis. His visit to Kaw Valley Consistory in this city was one of pleasure and profit to all concerned. Dr. O A. Taylor is Commander in Chief. If you fail to see an article in The Plaindealer that you expected, just bear in mind that our machinery has been (is now) in the hospital, and we are forced to put the paper to press with whatever matter we have "up." This is only to remind you that articles that cannot keep in the cold storage, will appear in these columns and all that cannot, are before you now. Again, you should remember, that not a mechanic on The Plaindealer has enjoyed a days vacation during the entire hot siege and their prospect is very slim. Consider these things and be lament with the men who prepare the mechanical end of this paper, and bear in mind that you will see your stuff—but not this week.

They pay the highest prices for good hogs and cattle, and stockmen and farmers save food that they can sell their stock to this company with better advantage than by shipping to Kansas city or other places. The people of this city and Kansas should support one industry and have as their motto "STAND BY AND PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRIES." The men are manage to enter price are all made public spilled and are a way well go to contribute to any worth cause to help Populus and her people. The others are Mr. Charles W. L. and Mr. Charles Wolp. It is good and good man ing Mr. I. M. Lawson, servi- tary and the and Mr. Nubi. Mr. Lawyer is one of the busiest men in the sea. To be secretary and treasurer of an institution such as this one we keep a man, even of his ability and activity, especially engaged. It is in such an extreme executive role, one easy to approach, a person to talk with and deal with and a person to occupy in his attitude to affairs all. He ranks with the full men in the Army or Sales platoon in the ground business and the great options of industry at large in great business. It is to be one executive of all day of the larger institution of the same matter as the one we destiny he is so successfully direct and control. Among workers and all other business men of power and ability Mr. Lawrence is the leader and his counsel is being sought by them. The employees of the Wolf plant all like Mr Lawrence, as with them as in his meetings with all, and socially, he is pleasant and agreeable, being one of those busy men the press of business or the station in life does not cause him to take on a growth and feel and be important. Such men are a community's best business assets. The people of Topoka recognize his merit and good qualities and are indeed glad that the Wolf company has such a man as he at the head of its affairs. THE STATE REFORMALITY W HUTCHINSON, KANSAS. The manager of the Phanaderler recently visited in Hutchinson, Kansas, and while there visited the State Reformatory Hon. J. N. Heir, the Superintendent was appointed Aug. 1st by Gov. Holges, and is making a good executive officer. This is an important institution and one of the largest of its kind in the West. At the present time there are 225 inmates. Of these 101 are white, 61 Negroes, 3 Indians, and 1 Mexican; 134 are bell on regular committet, and 14 are transferred from the prisonity. Of these 190 M. 111111 were sent off the state were they commuted are offence for which they are detained. I do are from other states. We while here violate our law. The institution is 400 ft. in mile and has 50 acres planted in corn. On the 10 acres of irrigated land there was raised this season 100 bushes, potatoe, 50 bushels of onions, 100 bushels of wheat and a large quantity of vegetables, these with the 200 head of cattle and 200 head of roos, means that the institution will be practically self-supporting. The Board or Control is using its power when it can and desires to all. Major Brown recently said that any inmate with a good report for one year he could live with relatives or find a good job with a suitable employer would be paired. They have plenty of work at the institution and unless they have suitable relatives or find some worthy employer they will be kept at the institution. The present administration and the Board of Control are striving to place this fine institution up to such a high standard in all its departments so as to make it second to no other like institution in the entire country. The Governor and the Board of Control made no mistake in their selection of Mr. Here as superintendent and he promises to do his best to make the institution self-sustaining and will prove a good man to the place. Mr. Here has been a member of the Legislature for four years and was chairman of the Ways and Me. committee, serving his constituents well and faithfully. HIL. CONNEXIAL CREAMERY COMPANY.

With the greatest capacity for storage and manufacturing capacity and the plant taxed to its utmost capacity to meet the demands of it, with the hundreds of employees and about the establishment, the last correspondence to handle and the many people with whom they have to deal, the office of secretary and treasurer of this plant is to snap but the which requires a man who is an all round business man, a man of much executive ability, capable of handling details, a judge of human nature and a handler of men, and such a man is Mr Pettit. He is an all around good fellow, good attuned, easy to approach, unassuming and in every way an agreeable gentleman to meet, either socially or in a business-ness way. People's transacting business with him and the employees of the company all like him. Business men say he is one of the most agreeable men as well as one of the most competent business men they have occasion to meet or deal with in their business. Institutions of this kind and men like Mr. Perris are elements which play a large part in making a great city and establishing it as a commercial, manufacturing and financial center. MR. ANDY CHARLES, WINFIELD. While in W. field we visit Mr. Andy Charles, one of the prominent Negroes of that place. M. Charles is well aware and prosperous and is employed by the ceil'd coll'd stage company, where he has been employed for fourteen years as chief engineer, a responsible and good paying poster, and one which requires great ability in a mechanical and engineering capacity. He has just completed a new, modern residence, or new house. This property is located in the prominent part of the city, is moved in every detail and cost valuable. Mr. Crawford is own by most of one in Winfield, of his capital tattoos and his employees all a member of him in the best of terms. He is smokeless in a good cigarette, a notorious tattoo, and a fast fit as competent employee, a resident to his leave at the community in which he lives and an example of what a man can do, and the reputation are an establishment when he tries to make good. We carefully testify that Andy Charles has made great progress in that. HON. H. M. BARRELL County Clerk of Sedgwick County. To write was once the Wichita, a l while there visited the court house.

Previous to his appointment with these offices, he was with the Wichita Railway and Light company for several years in various capacities. He is the son of an old soldier and is a member of the Dews of Vettsons. Mr. Barrett's experience and his knowledge of the public business, together with his high standing in the community, made him the unanimous choice of the commissioners for the appointment as county clerk. He is a young man, very active and full of energy, thoroughly competent and honorable and in every way fitted for the place. In addition to his ability we find him now, as before, a agreeable man, easy to approach, and an all round good fellow. We are glad the board recognized these qualities when considering whom to appoint, and are sure they will find that they made to mistake, but put the right man in the right place at the right time. We predict he will receive, as he should, the nomination at the coming election. If there is any man entitled to this position he is THE RORABAUGH-WILEY DRY GOODS COMPANY. Of Hutcinson, Kansas, the Largest Store of the Kind in the State. He Rorabaugh-Wiley Dry Goods company is the place to trade in the city of Hutchinson. The development of Hutchinson and the entire southwest and the growth of the business of the famous Roxsbury-Wiley Dry Gds company have gone hand in hand and a look into this great store and an investigation of their methods, together with an acquaintance with the members of this firm is a great treat to every one. Here we find all that can be found in the great dry goods houses and department stores of the country, and find me who manage this business the equals of any engaged in a like enterprise any where. Some of the history of this institution from its creation until this time may be of interest to the people of Topka and the state at large, but this is more than a local corner, also the entire state at especially of the south-west. In 1991 they opened with $750 a rate test of floor space and eight employees. In 1994 they had sixty employees at 1 used 2250 square feet of floor space, an increase in three years of 52 employees and 18750 square feet of floor space. In this year, 1417 they have 150 employees at 1 use 1500 square feet of floor space at 1 ence to twelve years of the ex-state of 112 employees and 11251-rate feet of floor space, and even they have outgrown trusts and have to have rest and target quarters which they will occupy about the rest of next October. This growth is a furious and probably has not been equal in Kansas by any other mercante. The nine story structure which it the company will occupy after the first at October will be when it plated the finest of the kind between Kansas City and Denver.

There must be some secret to the wonderful growth of this business in so short a time and that secret is found in the management and employees of this store and the people of Kansas. Everything in connection with this manoth st re is operated along the best business methods, the shrewd management, competent buyers ability to discount their bills for cash, honest dealing with those from whom they buy and with those to whom they sell, every article and the price as represented, no junk but dependable merchandise, kind, courteous and business like treatment of all these and other things are what has made this business what it is and given to the Rorabaugh-Wiley Dry Goods Co.'s five name and splendid reputation throughout the country where its customers reside and in the markets of the world where it buys its goods. Then the people of Hatch- lson and the Southwest have been liberal in their patronage and loyal to this great enterprise. Mt. V. M. Riley has been the head of the institution every since it was established and it is mainly through his ability and unthing effort that the Coffeyville, Kansas business has had such a marvelous growth. He is a big whole souled fellow, a public spirited citizen who is always ready and willing to contribute and has contributed to make a bigger and better Hutchinson. It is because of such men as Mr. Wiley that Hutchinson is what it is. When that city has wanted anything or needed anything he has been in the harness, working tirelessly and generously for the people of that city and her surrounding territory. A look into this big store, and an inquiry among the citizens of Hutchinson can only make everyone wish to meet and become acquainted with Mr. Wiley. He is sociable and good natured and one whom everyone is glad to meet. NOTICE TO EXECUTIVE BOARD OF WESTERN BAPTIST CONVENTION.
