COUNTY PLANNING:While the city-'planning movement in still in its beginnings a very sensible extension of the community-plan-ning idea has begun. The Kansas’ Board of Administration inis named a county community placing beard to help counties and townships improve conditions in their own districts and develop a keener community inter < and spirit. • . The membership' of the board includes men who are experts in many lines; a professor of rural education from the State Normal school, a processor of horticulture, the state highway engineer and two men interest d in rural and community music. The purpose of the commission is to give genuine assistance in ev »ry phase _of county and township development from beautifying highway s •iud building homes for farmers to planning a community "sing.” T'rcommission will be ready tp offer advice and to do practical work in pl.injiiing rural schools as well as homes, in planting trees and shrubbery, and in every way raising standards of beauty and efficiency and co-operation. In the begining the commission -will have to organize the work and probably take the initiative in many improvements. But it does not iotend to usurp the place of the people who make up the community. A fast as they learn what they trait TO do and how to go about doing it. the commission will leave the work to their own co-operation and interest. And from the very b< ginning the co >- Mission plans as a matter of course to call upon the men and women of the normal schools and agricultural •university as well as experts outsiJ. ■ bf the schools for advice and actual help. There is great need for just this kind of planning and unifying of Interests in the rural districts. County- - planning should prove quite as valuable as support of the educational leaders in the state as well as of the residents of the individual communities. Election bets in Fort Wayne were paid off yesterday, the republicans admitting that the jig was up. It was hard to give up. but one side or the other eventually had to quit. Why not now?

tab a vacation, but will keep in lose touch with the republiiuu headquarters still open at New York. The purpose is not anuounced. lint they are probably planning for four years from now. We know of severnl building propositions which will culminate the first of the year and the outlook for 1917 is very bright indeed. We need a factory or two and we need a litH< more push on the part of every•bi*l.' and we will enjoy the greatest year in our history. Who will help to do It? The republican state chairman of California is out with a statement telling how it happened. It seems that all has not been lovely within the organization c .< ie n that state and the 200.000 umjirit - claimed there was just one of the campaign bluffs so common in tliPse days. Evidently for some cause or oth r they didn't get enough votes. W! y not let it go at that? MI *- — *- .... -J I DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR. Thursday. Ladies' Bible Club—Mrs. W. J.
