THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Historical Society State House WlCHITA OLUME XIV. Manager Griffin Interviews the Captains of Industry in the Gate City of the Southwest---The Peerless Princess a Whirlpool of Business. No city in the great West out banks Wichita in thrift, energy and enterprise. Located in the great Southwest upon a plain almost as level as a kitchen floor, she stands out boldly the gateway of commercial activity. "The Peerless Princess," with her numerous sky scrapers, blocks of wholesale houses, mills, factories, banks, packing plants, etc, has the bustle and stir of a city of 200,000. The business is here and the men behind the dollars are not afraid to invest them to get it. Truly, Wichita is a great place—a business center, and you can not impede her progress because the men behind the dollars will not permit her to lag. The colored people are doing nicely and are creditably represented in the way of doctors, lawyers, druggists and numerous other professions and trades. A glance at some of the wideawake business concerns: It is indeed glad tidings to the citizens of Wichita to learn that through the broad foresight, wisdom and fai- ness of the Mayor and Commissioners of Wichita, the telephone fight is nearing an end. Mr. Nims, Vice- President, F. I. Gilman, General Manager, and Fred Simpson, purchas- ing agent of the telephone com- pany were in a conference with the May and City Commissioners Thursday afternoon. This conference was called for the purpose of reaching a compromise with regard to the question involved in a suit brought by the city from keeping the telephone com- pany from raising its rates to the schedule row in effect. It is understood that the city cannot now are not averse to granting cost minor concessions in order to get a new plant and improved service for Wichita The telephone company is striving gave the best service possible to the patrons of Wichita to that end they are spending many thousand dollars, and are willing and eager to spend more in the way of enlarging their plant, building larger and more consoquers, and installing from time to time the latest at highest appliances for the good of the service in Wichita. Many corporations are subject to too much unjust criticism and hampered by much unjust legislation, municipal, state and national, simply because they are corporations. The Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company is an aggregation of enterprising men who have bound themselves together and invested their money for the purpose of operating telephone lines in the several states and they are entitled to the same rights and pity leges of a private citizen in the pursuit of its undertaking, no more no less. But it is indeed unjust and unwise for the people of any community to antagonize a corporation simply because it is a corporation. It will prove a backward step for Wichita to so hamper and impede the telephone company to the extent that the company would not feel justified in erecting the handsome five story building it has had in contemplation for sometime. 1 The Telephone Company is identified with Wichita, and as deeply interested in the City's prosperity as any private individual. The thing for Wichita to do is to be fair and respect the rights of all. The people of Wichita have implicit confidence in the integrity and business acumen of the company's local manager, Mr. C. C. Bayless. } It is chiefly due to such companies as the Missouri and Kansas Telephone Company that the telephone is no longer a luxury used only by the wealthy but has been brought within the reach of the most humble citizen. Wichita, in her onward march toward greatness., would do well to encourage instead of impeding such enterprising companies as the Missouri and Kansas Telephone Coompany. Mr. Albert M. Patten, General Superintendant of Topcha and Wichita Street Raiwa. Wichita has been very fortunate indeed, to have in charge of her street railway a man who does things, a practical street railway man with pluck, vim and ability, who knows how to give service and will do it. He is never satisfied with good service alone, but always strives to make it better. This man is Mr. Allott M. Patten whose successful management and perfection of the Popa Railway system, has made him a most valuable acquisition for Wichita. Mr. Patten has been in the railway business for many years and knows he business from a to z. He is in a class with Bernard Corrigan, of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company of Kansas City, Mo. The Illinois Traction Company has expended many thousands of dollars on the street railway in Wichita, and are endeavoring to give the best possible service. They contemplate many expensive improvements and if not hampered by foolish legislation, it will mean much to Wichita and other cities who are fortunate enough to have systems superintended by men of broad and progressive ideas like Mr. Patten. No city can or has prospered that refuses to join hands with concerns superintended by such men as Mr. Albert M. Patten. He is one of us—(the great common people), and were he a multi-millionaire, he would labor just as diligently to serve those who toil as he would a king. Wichita should be kind to Mr. Patten and his company, they have placed Topeka in the front rank of cities with street railway service, and will continue, if cranks are prevented from dictating the city's policy of dealing with those whose welfare, comfort and interest has been entrusted to them. --- It would not only be an injustice to the Kansas Gas and Electric Company, but to Wichita and its entertaining officers, should we fail to mention this most worthy of all concerns. Wichita should feel especially proud of this company, which is made it possible for wage earners and bankers to enjoy a comfort that could easily be kept from the reach of the former. While it is a necessity, it could be so arranged that only the "dilemach" would be permitted to enjoy the comforts therecomethosecomethosehas blessed Kansas with the abundance of gas, and it is fortunate and of that such progressive entertainment man has been placed at the head of an enterprise of this character in Wichita. 11 Kansas this and Electric Company is doing as much to unite Wichita's business activity and bring about prosperity to her people as any one in that ever traded city. To go on with this they have a pendent major sums of money even to extra expense and brought on the city that understood every phase of promoting an enterprise a thereby building a great city. Mr. H. S. Staden, formerly of the Portland General Electric Co. of Portland, Ore., has been installed as manager, which is a positive gain for that not only the Kansas class and Electric Company will be benefited on our behalf and our citizens. He is a born堡者 young active and a trained business man one who will use it every influence and power of welfare and advancement of the community in which he lives. This writer had the pleasure of resting in Portland when Mr. Staden was with the General Electric Company of that city and we also had a personal acquaintance with him. He has developed one of the finest concerns of its kind in the world. The people were proud of the company and generations in the way of franchise, etc., and now they point to it with finger of pride and praise Mr. Staden and those who point their money and energy in promoting it Personally, Mr Shaden is fun. It is one of those gentle, high-bird fowls, easy to approach and courteous kind and polite to all men—rich and poor, white or black alike—and if Wichita will treat him and his company kindly they will be envied by many of her less fortunate sisters. Mr. L. O. Ripley, vice president of the company, is a man of more than TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JAN. 19. 1912 ordinary ability. Thoroughly schooled in the world of business, he has made good and his every act indeed will stand as a proud and living monument to his thrift and enter prise. Dr. W. W. Minnick, Mayor of Wichita. It is indeed a pleasure to publish in this issue, a few lines concerning Dr. W. W. Minnick, mayor of Wichita, who delivered the address of welcome to the Inter-State Literary Association at the Forum at the opening session, December 27th. His address was masterly and conscientious, depicting the broadness, honesty and fairness for which he has been noted throughout his life. Among the public men of Kansas, none stand higher in the hearts of constituents than Dr. Minnick with implicit confidence in his integrity and business capacity, the citizens of Wichita elected him mayor a few months ago. Before his election he promised enforcement of JOHN H. HARRIS W. W. MINNICK. Mayor of Wichita, Kan the law and a strictly binding administration that he has carried out his pledges to the letter. He acknowledged by all fair minded citizens He believes in good citizenship and judges men by character and worth alone. He practiced medicine Wichita for more than twenty years, associated with his father,Dr. John Munrich, who was a greatly beloved publie servant for many years, and Mr. Mor Munrich has proven himself a worthy son of a noble sire. --- Jas. N. Miller, the poor commissioner has served in this county since February, 1911. He is a native of Pennsylvania and served three years in the 12th West Virginia Infantry. He is one of the few "old" that follow "old glory" in the day, that tried men's souls, and as good to have him with us. He is pleasant and kind hearted to the man in need and treats everybody alike. Mr. Miller is the right man in the right place, and he should be retained in his present position just as long as he care to serve. He served his country faithfully and well and the little position he holds is but a partial reward for his labor. Whale we have never been addicted to the use of patent medicines for do we sell our space to the fellow who has a "one-all" to offer the public, but when a thing stands every test we do not hesitate in saying so "Montholatum" is a preparation manufactured right here in Wichita and it has made good every claim made for it. There are a lot few homes in the county without a box of Montholatum, and it is prescribed by lead physicians throughout the land. Mr. A. A. Hyde, president of the Metropolitan Co., is one of the leaders in Wichita business life and enjoys the confidence and respect of all the people of the city. He is fair, square and honorable in all his dealings and willing to let go of his duties if it will in any way assist Wichita and her people. He is one of the leaders, Y. M. C. A men of the West, a liy hunted Christian gentleman, and through his efforts the moral as well as the business side of Wichita has been greatly benefited. From personal investigation the writer learned that Mr. Hyde was instrumental in the establishment of a "Y" for the colored boys, which is notophishing much good for the race Mrs. Maggie Bramlett, who has been visiting with her uncle, W. E. Whitted and family, has returned to her home in Chicago. The John Brown Literary held their meeting on Wednesday evening at the A. M. I. church. An interesting and entertaining program was rendered. The G. U. O. I. and H. H Ruth held their annual love feast on Wednesday evening at their hall. Hearty greetings were exchanged, a royal good time was had and a sumptuous repast was served and heartily enjoyed by all present. On Monday afternoon of last week one of the most brilliant social event of the season was the musicale given at the elegant Whitted residence, on North Water street, from 2 o'clock to 6 o'clock p.m. complimentary to Mrs. Bramlett of Chicago, who has been the guest of her uncle, Mr. W. H. Whitted and family. Shades were drawn and under the rays of electric lights with the beautiful decorations and the pretty gowned ladies presented a beautiful scene. From the dining table was served an elegant menu. The rendition of the musical selections were especially fine and highly enjoyed. --- The National Bank of Commerce has long been a permanent fixture in Wichita's growth and prosperity, and is now assisting materially in making the city the commercial center of the great Southwest. Mr. C. W. Carey, president, is a man thoroughly schooled in the management of finance and to his splendid foresight and careful management may be traced the growth and prosperity of this institution. He is a gentleman of high integrity and has a high regard for the great common people. Mr. Carey is regarded as one of the country's foremost financiers and his bank has an enviable place in the ranks of the leading financial institutions of the country. --- The Kansas National Bank is an institution that is bringing Wichita and Solwich count into the lineage as one of the foremost institutions of its kind in the country. Elsberry Martin, cashier, knows banks and business thoroughly. He has been with this institution for fourteen years and enjoys not only a nice acquaintance, but has the comfort of the people in general. Mr Martin is every inch a gentleman knack, courteous and polite and believes in putting his shoulder to the wheel and boosting anguish by enterprise. th. W. M. L. L.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Weiss and must confess that a finer man never lived. He takes --- pride in showing and explaining things, and each time in his presence you learn something. He is a good, substantial citizen, well liked and he loves in putting down his dollars to increase the hum of the wheels of industry. His word is as good as one of Uncle Sam's gold certificates, which is one of the secrets of the magnificent success he has made of the Otto Welsh Alfa'fa Stock F I Compan. --- 100N. J. H. ADAMS. the old Republican stalwart, has announced that he will make the race for Congress in the Fighth district against Victor Murook. He was born in Butler county March 25th, 1877, and has resided in the county all his life. He conducts a small bank in 13 Dorado and has always played a prominent part in Republican politics, having served three terms in the State Legislature. He is a strong public speaker—logical and convincing, and has made many warm friends during his service. He is one of the strongest men in Butler county and is highly spoken of throughout the district, and is strongly encouraged by many friends in different sections of the state who will watch his campaign with deep interest. Mr. Adams is opposed to public clamor, being a Republican of the old JOHN B. HARRIS HON. J. B. ADAMS, El Dorado, Kan. school, making the race in the interest of party harmony and the welfare of the district. He believes in time for the country to settle down sound business conditions. He says the country must be prosperous, more so than before, and that the only abundance is lack of confidence and the condition of unity and uncertainty that exists. Mr. Vanessa is developing good strong business among the farmers and business men, who want to set the country settled down to steady growth and again Business would go forward with some degree of activity and confidence and would feel better and prosper. Mr. Adam is one of the most wish awake, public, mated men in Kansas and tools or ready to work and contribute his money to things which tend to bring peace and happiness to all men rich and poor white and black alike. In the campaign he is going to prove a stubborn commitment, as may be stated by the law following he has mastered at the start, and we feel safe in avaging that when the ballots are counted Mr. Adams will be the next Congressman from the Eighth district. He is a good life, sound business man the hand to serve the people fideliest and best. LL DORADO is a beautiful little city peopled with about 300 good, warm-hearted, entertaining souls. Here we were the guest of our astonished friend, Mr. Thodor Jones. He is comfortably domesticated in a beautiful flat, enjoying life in style. Mr. Jones conducts a transfer business and has many Toupea friends will be pleased to learn that he is making things hum The Howard Milling Company's high grade "Dutless Princess Dior" I love it. It makes the best brand, rolls, cake and pies one ever tasted. It is the joy of all first-class clot and the pride of every housewife who gives it a trial.

Howard, president of the company, is one of the city's leading Frederick Douglass business men and a live wire, too. He is one of those energetic fellows who are not afraid to spend a few dollars to keep Wichita in the front park. Mr. C. R. Howard is also a live one, and he has assisted materially, not only in the building of a great mill, but in advancing Wichita. He is a high class gentleman and a valuable acquisition to the city. The W. S. Heaton Pharmacy is one of the best couped stores in the state. Everything is strictly first-class and the service the best to be obtained anywhere.

Please allow us from time to time space in your paper to publish these masterpieces of eloquence. In this week's issue we wish to present to the public "Hands Off!", which is a warning to all young ladies, and we hope those who red it may be benefited morally: HANDS OFF! Young ladies, while traveling this rugged road of life, Through this world of pleasure, pain and strife, Various kinds of temptations will confront you that are not right. But be ever ready to say with all your might, Hands off! Hands off! When a young man pays you a visit Plaindealer Seven any time or place, And the hour is coming for his departure to take place, And he wishes for you to bid him adieu by fondly kissing and doing things impure, Tell him firm and tell him true Hands off! Hands off! And if from home to church he escorts you On the pretense of hearing reverend preach, When your walk back home is near complete, You will hear his animal commence to speak: "Give me just one kiss that is sweet." Tell him kind, sweet and meek, Hands off! Hands off! It matters not where face to face you meet a man, And be commence to be familiar with hands, Speak as a lady should to a man. You cannot stand the fondling of man. And if to anger he resort for revenge, Tell him over and over again, Hand off! Hand off! Young ladies, when you are launched out into this world so vain, In search of glory and in search of fame, You are sure to meet Old Lampeter with descent and shame. But pass him by, for there is nothing to gain id just keep playing your same old saying, Hands off! Hands off! Old Tonger will promise everything on earth to be four! The costliest jewels and the prettiest cost of gowns. He will promise you love and promise defense. But don't be deceived for it's false pretense. Tell him with power and with sense, Hands off! Hands off! For if by Old Pampter you are deceived You are robbed of everything that a pure woman needs; You are robbed of your principle, character and name. You are disgraced for life, to sorrow and slime. By not speaking true and speaking same. Hands off! Hands off! Sometimes you see women who have paid Pampter his price. Wearing the jewels and dressed like a knight. But if you are a choicer you will detect from sight She is living in misery with all her rights For not saying what is just and right, hands off! Thank you! Sometimes you can see them trying to have Old Tempter's the But it has been a long time since you were then They try to Old Tempter, but it is all in vain. "Give back to me my virtue and name. And just let me speak those words so sure, Hands off! Hands off! Old Tempter's reply is "I would not You are stripped of everything that is pure and good." So then he can see her sad mistake, By taking hold of Old Tempter, but by not speaking true and straight, Hands off! Hands off! Then by others Old Tempter is admired nd called a hero in accomplishing his desires, While the poor, weak woman is hated and despised, When by all she would have been admired had she only continued to strive. All such women when they die won't have a friend to say good-bye. Their bodies will generate in foulness and crime. To the flesh that was of dust so fine; Back to Old Mother Earth, stocked with crime For not keeping good and pure time, Hands off! Hands off! That which was made for man's delight, When deceived by Tempter they are useless in life. They are worthless on earth and will be poisonous in death. By not saying true and saying their best, Hands off! Hands off! I hope to you all don't seem blind By condemning lost virtue, such heinous crime, And what I have said will prove wholesome and sane, And the words I have written will never prove vain, And by all young ladies may my subject ever remain And from this night on this will be their constant saying and praying, Hands off! Hands off! JERRY GRIDER'S LETTER TO THE BRETHREN. Let's think one time in life what we could do if we would unite our forces together once. One hundred and eighty-five thousand Negroes in the state of Missouri, and we have no place for our colored girls. Do you think once what we could do for everyone to put in 10 cents in the state of Missouri? We could build a home regardless of a reform school. Why do we colored people want to lean our heads on the white man and ask him to prepare a home for our best girls and also for our criminal girls? I don't think it is right. I think we should take the step ourselves first. Of course, I don't think any politician has anything to do booking after these girls. I think it ought to be taken up solely by the religious people. Of course I don't complain the directory of the state who we set aside by Governor Hadad we tell such institutions, but I also the charge to the pardon at large in place of helping to push they have helped to pull against the project.

There was one of the most elaborate dinners given in honor of Captain Charles Young, Ninth U. S. Cavalry, on Tuesday, June 16, at 8 p. m., at the residence of M. D. Aldridge. Mr. Aldridge and wife and daughter, assisted by Mrs. Charles Richardson and Miss Mathews, spared no pain to make the evening an evenful one. The dinner consisted of five courses of the most select food and dainties. During the dinner Miss Lucy Holmes, the celebrated blind composer, singer and piano player, rendered some of her best and sweetest musical selections, which added greatly to the evening's entertainment. After dinner the evening was spent in musical and literary entertainment, during which Captain Young, the distinguished army officer, gave a brief resume of his career. The guests present were Captain Charles Young, U. S. army; Miss Lucy Holmes, Mrs. Charles Richardson, Miss Mathews, Messrs. Jordan Murry, Horace Davis, Thomas E. Davis, L. H.

Negroes everywhere should unite with their bachelors in Georgia in rejoicing over the firmest and closest judicial decision, recently headed down continuing the equality of all men before the law. The decision was delivered by the Georgia Court of Appeals, a high tribunal, in behalf of a Negro who shot and dangerously wounded a white man, who was a member of a mob that was seeking to hire the Negro's home. The Negro, Will Rhoades, had been tried and convicted in the court of Greene county, Georgia, of assault with intent to kill. His attorneys allowed error and carried the case up to the Court of Appeals, which in the opinion of Powell, J., speaking for the entire court, held that: "If one whose premises are invaded by a victim-mob, who lay siege to his habitation and continue their notting, shoot into the mob and wounds one of its members, he does not commit the offense of assault with intent to murder, and this law is applicable irrespective of my racial differences between the parties." The verdict of the lower court was reversed and Rhoads set free. Georgia Negro citizens feel now that they can defend their homes from mobs and be upheld in their rights.—The American, Wagner, Okla. NEGROES OF PENNSYLVANIA Own Property Valued at Over Twenty Million Dollars Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 16.—Pittsburg is the second largest center of Negro population in Pennsylvania. The 25,000 persons of the colored race which it is estimated live within its limits own property worth over $2,500,000. The total value of the property owned by the Negroes of Pennsylvania is estimated at $20,000,000. These facts are set forth in a study of the Negro in Pennsylvania contained in the annual report of John L. Rockey, chief of the State Bureau of Industrial Statistics. He has been gathering data about colored folks for years and presents an article by Dr. R. R Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. The report represents months of work and correspondence with a res- ors in various cities and towns, and it is on record that in 89 cities and towns in Pennsylvania Negroes own property with a market value of $8,205,695, in 18 other properties worth $1,214,500, and in addition churches and usable property worth $7,100,200, making a total of $12,580,415. Accumulated Wealth. "If," concludes Dr. Wright in summing up his paper, "we consider the difficulty of obtaining data and scan carefully the list of places reported, we must conclude that the estimate is possibly 25 per cent under the real holdings of Negroes in the state I would estimate they own property the most conservative estimate of whose value is from $150,000 to $200,000." Data which may justly be regarded as being fair was obtained from a sessile, ministers and other professional men, business men and women, politicians and other classes of people who could be presumed to have some intimate knowledge of the subject. In centers of Negro population in the larger cities a house to house canvass was made In illustrating how a question of real estate has increased among the Negroes, Dr. Wright shows how the Negro population of the state itself has increased every decade, according to the federal censuses. In 1750 there were 10,271 Negroes in the state and in 1800, 16,515. The Negro percentage of the population of the state has varied little generally speaking being as follows, 1700, 21 per cent; 1800, 27; 1810, 29; 1820, 29; 1830, 26; 1840, 28; 1850, 27; 1860, 20; 1870, 19; 1880, 20; 1890, 21; 1900, 25. The number of slaves of Negroes under the gradual abolition net from 37.75 in 1750 to only 5 in 1850 and none at all in 1890.

A total of 89,429 Negroes of the state are listed as earning their living by being themselves in business or practicing some profession or as being employed and paid by someone. The different classes are as follows: Agricultural pursuits, 46 per cent; professional service, 69.4; trade and transportation, 11.6; manufacturing and mechanical pursuits, 129. Dr. Wright remarks that few Negroes receive great financial returns for their work, pointing out the big percentage in domestic and personal service, where the man get only from $6 to $12 a week and the women less. He says the majority of professional men are musicians and show people, but notes with gratification the rapidly increasing number of colored lawyers, physicians, dentists, teachers, etc. Dr. Wright then says: The great mass of Negroes who would purchase property must purchase on the small payment plan" Pennsylvania's activity as the center of the building and loan association work has helped immensely in this. Dr. Wright gives a table showing that there are now eleven building and loan associations owned and managed by Negroes. Naturally the stockholder is of the same race there are, of course, many Negro holdings in other associations, but data on this point cannot be obtained. NNS GOVERNOR 10 SAVE NEGRO DROW THE NOOSE Oklahoma City, Ok. Jan 13—Thomas S. Jones, former plantation owner in Virginia and possessor of many slaves and who had the distinction of being the youngest man ever to command a regiment in the Confederate army, is now beseeching Gov. Lee Crane of Oklahoma to aave a Negro murderer's neck by committing a death sentence to life imprisonment. The Negro is Governor Brown, a cotton farmer, who is under sentence to be hanged here on January 21 for killing Robert L. Butks, another Negro farmer, from ambush. Colonel Jones lost everything during the civil war and then located in western Kansas during the border-day period, and began the practice of law. He has defended twelve men charged with murder, and Brown is the only one ever convicted. Colonel Jones has lived in Guthrie since the opening of Oklahoma in 1889. His wife was Miss Mollie West, a Virginia belle, the great-granddaughter of that Thomas West who was twice Governor of the Virginia colonies. HON. GEORGE A.

His many friends hoped that he would be able to pull through and be himself again, but it developed that he finally succumbed to the inevitable and finished up his work upon earth at once, to take hold of that rest that endured forever. Bishop Gaines was next to the oldest bishop in the A. M. E. Church. Bishop Tutner, the senior, is the only living bishop whose tenure as an A. M. E. bishop is longer than that of Bishop Gaines. Bishop Gaines was a man of sterling qualities, whose services for the church and race will live long in the minds who were in position to know about his works. He did not pose as a great scholar, but for depths of thought and loftiness of ideas his equal were few in the race. As a minister of the gospel he reed in stands without a blamish.

STORED COPN SHRINKAGE. A 147 Day Test Shows Loss of 1,970 Pounds In 500 Bushels. To those engaged in the handling of grain the natural shrinkage of shelled corn while in storage and in transit is a matter of prime importance and often a source of dispute because of shortage reported at time of receipt at warehouse and a further loss at date of final sale. In order to determine the amount of shrinkage or loss of weight occurring in shelled corn containing various per centages of moisture while in storage in elevators or during its unit in cars the department of agriculture, in cooperation with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company and the Baltimore chamber of commerce, has conducted in experiment with 200 bushels of shelled corn, the test beginning Jan. 1910, and lasting 147 days. The container was then from regular car receipts and was left in the wooden hopper of a 50,000 pound scale at Elevator B of the Baltimore and Ohio system at Locust Point, Baltimore. At the time of storage the moisture content was 185 per cent and at close of the test 117 per cent, or a loss of 41 per cent. The weight per bushel had decreased from 517 pounds to 50 pounds, and the total loss of weight was 1,070 pounds, or slightly more than 7 per cent. ALWAYS USE PIECE GATE. Little More Trouble to Make, but It's Handy and It Lasts. Mr. C. A Thomas in the Homestead gives an idea for an up to date two piece gate that should be carefully studied by every enterprising farmer. It is made white enough to allow a hay rack to press through. The small section of the gate makes the handling easier when a person wishes to pass through, besides lessening the strain that would come on the gate were it made in one section. The larger section of the gate shuts against a short post, which is set in CHFAP BUT INFAIR CARLE GATE. the ground and sawed in such a manner as to leave a bark for the gate to shut against, as illustrated. The short 2 by 4 is held in place by strap iron clips and holds the gate rigid. In doing chores, when passing through it, the 2 by 4 is slipped back on the larger gate and the book used to keep the gate closed. WAY TO GET RICH QUICK. A farmer bought a sow and pight pigs over a year ago for $40. He wintered her mainly on alfalfa, and last spring she pro- duced eleven pigs. He sold the pigs, two litters, when fst for $114 40, which wasn't all profit, of course. The sow after a sum- mer on alfalfa and blue grass has twelve pigs now. Next! Let Children Make Money. Why not give the boys yes, and the girls, too-a little spending money patch? Let them have all they raise on it and you help them to dispose of their crop. This kind of treatment goes a long way toward content and happiness Live Stock Notes. Nine times out of ten "stobbering" is caused by reign or sharp edges of the teeth irritating the sides of the mouth. Many horses after reaching fifteen years are bothered by their teeth. An English remedy to prevent horses from gnawing mangoes and feed troughs is to give the wood a coat of tar, put on with an old brooch, while hot. It is claimed that this is a sure cure for an annoying and destructive habit. Boys and girls should be taught to milk the cows, stimulate the crane and churn. It is a great handship to children to teach them to use such necessaries with them in the home, but them have a care of the cows and teach them to treat the animals kindly. The mysteries actions of a horse which whirls and flies himself was agely are due and attributed to the presence of worms in intestinal numbers. The rubbing of the tail is another symptom. A wise course of treatment is to give a plot of two or four drains of blood in it. Moreover it has been reasoned to let give it irrigation. The milk house of milk should be scrubbed off at the skin, so it no longer from the nose will penetrate it. It need not be excessive that should be built so that it will be of sufficient than are not distended. It should be provided with plenty of water and also with some method of providing hot water or steam for cleaning the genitals. It should have smooth walls and ceilings, such as can easily be kept clean. The milk house should not be used as a general stroomer. v' . Farm and Garden HIMALAYA BEST BLACKBERRY Grows Anywhere, Is Coreless and Can Be Easily Shipped a Thousand Miles. The giant Himalayan berry, a far eastern branch of the blackberry genus, is coming into its own and achieving a great popularity after a setback of a downy yeast because of its slow propagation. It has a strong root system and differs from the ordinary blackberry in that it does not readily sucker, the new came growth starting at or near the root crown, generally from the main stalk or cune. These causes, if permitted, will often reach a length of fifty feet in a season. Fruit laterals from three to five feet long are sent out from these canes and are gracefully pedent on the outside @PECIMEN (ON 1183 BLACE DLBX. of properly trained vines. Rather late in the spring, after the frost is over, these latexes become a miss of delicate pink bloom, which later gives way to an immense crop of very sweet, almost coreless blackberries. The fruit ripens from July to November, and through hanging in clusters on the outside of the vine it is simply shaded from sunburn by leaves of a beautiful olive shade, rather silvery underneath. From three to five years are required for the Himalaya to reach perfection, so that growers should not be hasty in passing judgment. The vine should be considered a fruit tree and taken care of accordingly. It has always made good if given half a chance. The Himalaya is aditable to almost every variety of soil and climate, the former having more influence over proliferacy than the latter. The fact that it is succeeding in Florida, Alabama, New Mexico, California, New Jersey, New York, Michigan, Missouri, Montana and many other states speaks well for its future. It is a perennial to a marked degree, vines having passed through a winter 21 degrees below zero are protected. The fruit compares favorably in size with the best of commonly known blackberries and as a shipper far out classes any of them. Fresh berries have been shipped over a thousand miles the past season and brought good prices. FARM + SCIENCE=WEALTH. Dr. Hogkos, Illinois soil expert, has humored home the theory that you cannot keep taking everything out of the soil without putting something back. His diktum has been justified by recent experiments conducted by the University of Illinois, which show that with the use of phosphorus crops have been doubled. On the same farm the wheat yield where phosphorus was not used was twenty four bushels an acre, with the phosphorus the yield linked to an average of fifty bushels and a half bushels. Farming is long totally recognized to be a touch of a sad one as the most latitude in man of turpentine business. The saloon of farmer is the one who will make a torture where his an estates finish a late dying. Pheosphorus For Wheat. Experiments on oil treatment have been tried on the University of Illinois experiment plots on the N. Nole King farm in Mclean county, and by the use of phosphorus fertilizer the wheat yield was more than doubled. The water available on all plots which were not treated with phosphorus wastwent percent less more. The average yield on the fertilized plots was fifty percent and one-half bushel to acre. This is the first of the results that have been obtained on the experiment plot year after year and more than bears out the program of Dr. C.G. Hopkins, the university soil expert, who holds that crops may be doubled with intensive treatment. SunFinaera Useful.

Cuba Sign Left Handera The Chicago National League club management has already started in to rehabilit its pitching staff for 1912. It is understood that left handed twirlers will be in greater favor next season with the Cubs, and following up this idea Manager Chance recently purchased Walter Nagle, a big left hander, from the Newark Eastern League club. In addition to Nagle, who is the first southpaw signed since the banishment of Jack Pfeister, the Cubs have added Jake Northrop of the Reading Tristate club, a right hander, said to be one of the real mads of the year. All told, the pitching staff now assembled consists of fifteen men, and others may be signed before the team embarks next spring for the training camp. Conference Adopts One Year Rule. Representatives of the western college athletic conference held a meeting recently at Lake Forest to take action on a number of points of importance to the organization. Applications of other colleges for membership were considered but no definite action was taken because the representatives want to place the present organization on a firm basis before more members are admitted. The question of the migration of students from one college to another was considered, and it was decided to adopt the one year residence rule. The committee is anxious to enlarge its list of officials and wishes names and addresses of competent men. --- Titus to Row Agn n Constant S.

I have found calf meal to be an excellent substitute for milk and grain, as it takes the place of both. Above all things, do not overfeed the calf, as the calf stomach until it is two months old is very susceptible to all sorts of disarrangements from sudden change of diet or overfeeding. When the calf is about two weeks old keep his where it can nibble at it at leisure and the youngster will soon learn to eat it, and it will tend to keep the calf's stomach and digestive or gums in a healthy condition Do not be in too great time to turn the cut out to go for the sting unless it is only a day in in 11th P6 goes.

The constant all blagged in a house and is a nuisance in a crowd. The pure bird draft breeding mare will do as much work as a guide, and her colt will be worth more. Bulking is inevitable and is always the fault of the driver, not of the horse. It is the direct result of bad management. Clip the heavy carted horses now as the hair begins to loosen. Brush them thoroughly every day from head to heels and note the improvement in condition.

For the restless boy of girl who wants to go away from the farm and get out into the big world to do something, no better but of earnest reading can be found than this extract from the New York Independent. "The new farm children," it says, "live a third dispensation. The sciences begin to take hold of the land at least fifty years ago but there was an off clearing necessary. The transition period was protracted mainly because the land was already in possession of a race of farmers that must die off "The agricultural college applied the sciences to tillage and to crops and to animal life on the farm twenty five years ago. It was slow work, not only to awaken the farmer, but to investigate, discover, and then to apply. The age is now rapidly falling into the hands of men who are alive to the great fact that production has never yet approached its maximum. The orchard has all this while, thinks to moths and interpillars, become more and more an entomological laboratory. Gradually it has came about that not a thing can be grown on the land without a fight. This has not by any means been a permanent loss, but has wakened a spirit of scientific examination and determination to master conditions. The microscope and the crucible are as necessary today as the plow and the hoe. The farm boy is not without stimulus, nor is he without interesting conditions; rather it will now take the brighter toys to do the farming "The development of farm machinery and the application of new forces on the land have gone on at the same time. In every department of the home, in the house as well as in the barn machinery takes the place of men, and the help problem is now driving us to a still more complete age of mechanism. "There is no lot on earth so enviable today as that of an American farm boy or girl. They have room, fresh air, beautiful surroundings, while the arts and sciences are involved in their work, and isolation is absolutely abolished "Nothing can be gained any longer by quitting the farm. It stands for everything that is attractive, wholesome and profitable; but at the same time it stands for the new and the stimulating. Country life cannot be made dull, unless it wilfully revers itself from advantages that are freely offered." WILD MUSTARD GREAT PEST. Not Useful Like Its Eatable Cousine, but an Indefatigable Manace. About as troublesome a weed as the former the world over has to deal with is the charlock or wild mustard. It is prolific in the extreme and, unlike its black and white cousins, is not only worthless, but harmful. About the only way to control it is to use a spray STREET, FOOT FLOY WILD made up of cell a 21 percent solution of copper sulphate or a 15 percent solution of iron sulphate. The quantity needed is from addition to twenty gallons to the rate and amount given grower, of it with a sort of water. It is to be with our stones in wheat fields, not as the growing growth, but making the harvesting of the crop a matter of great difficulty. A whistle the tiller hooted that his creek, it dammed at a certain place would produce a six foot waterfall. He held a dam and put in a water wheel so that the wheel twisted twenty five horsepower over the water who he built a powerhouse in which he stood a dynamite for the water whistle to the catch. The catchtail was wired 170 feet out, four hundred yards. Then he tried to work in every position, but there is less. He had to work hard. He did the cooking and the washing and framing day. He was doing the house work and at the drive spends too much time and in many ways used the house with fans. Now with a vacuum truck the china he makes twenty rows, two at a time; drives the cream separator; churns pumps water into every room in the house; into the stall of each horse and cow; drives lathes and drills in a wort; drives a car; now to cut wood and drive a mending cutter.

At two yeare there is a trot in civilized work and will that act on real a procter and a slave his field and oppress bill in the value of his labor and at the same time be growing more valuable until four or five years old, at which age he will command the top of the market in his age class. ```markdown ``` Switchbes and Pompe... 50 Transformation... 1.50 Wine from 2.50 to 5.00 MRS M.

Oklahoma SAVED FROM A LIFE OF SLAVERY Story of a Russian Wife's Love and Devotion. In the Ural mountains between Rus- da and Siberia, it is the largest manu- factory of sheet iron in the world. It is owned and operated by the Rus- da government, and its workmen live and die within the limits of the factory. Once entered on the role of the com- pany an operative is 11310 goodbye forever to the world. Dmitri Nikatovich, a young Rus- stan, having been out of employment for a long while, saw his wife and children starving but re-hit "There is but one chance for our lives," he said to his wife "I must go to the iron works. There I shall receive regular wages, which I can send to you." In vain his wife protested. They might die together rather than that the husband and father should be dead to them forever. No, he and The winter was at hand and if they escaped starvation they would surely die to cold. Kissing his little ones who were too young to understand what he was about to do, and loving his swowing wife and them, he went to the iron works and entered himself as a work man. Four years passed. The wife and children of Nikahowah knew that he was still alive, for they received his wages regularly. He knew that they or some of them fired, for the money was not returned to him. One day a new walkman was entered at the factory. He was a young, delicate looking fellow and was given the lightest work that was to be done. One morning this workman, who was entered under the name of Nicholas Artemych, was standing beside Dmitri Nikanovich, both waiting to handle some sheet iron that had just been rolled, when Nicholas whispered. "Be at the west wall tonight at 9 o'clock, midway between the fifth and sixth sentry towers. Nikanovich, astonished, stared at the speaker. Nevertheless he had the presence of mind to hold his peace. That night Nikanovich walked, as was permitted, from 8 to 9 o'clock between the factory buildings and the wall, and when the bell rang at 9 and the other workmen had disappeared he saw Artemivich beckoning him in a dark corner formed by the contiguous buildings. Indeed, the base stones of the buildings touched, leaving a recess behind them. Artemivich's head and shoulders only could be seen. Nikanovich cast a hasty glance around, and, making sure that no one saw him, he sprang over the stone into the recess "Dmitri, I am Anna, your wife!" The thought that his wife had entered this place to be with him and that she had left their children killed him with alternate husbands of boy and sorrow. For a moment husband and wife were locked in each other's arms. Then Anna spoke quietly. "You had scarcely left us when my Aunt Matti did not left me 2000 rubles. The first year I spent getting possession of the money and the rest mainting three in planning and preparing for your escape. Two years ago I began to dig a tunnel through the bank to a point near the spot where we stand. It was a good job to tell them that there I have to this point in planning and dig till I reach the earth's surface.

Still, they will serve to get us past the river guards without the noise of roving. "How did you get this boat in here?" asked Dualri "I watched all months for the water to be sufficiently hot to float it in.

Proclamation No. 4 Knights Pythias To All Grand Lodge Officers, District Deputy Grand Chancellors, Grand Representatives, Chancellor Commanders, Officers and Members of the Order of Knights of Pythias of the Grand Jurisdiction of Kansas. Dean Brothers:—Owing to the large increase of deaths that we have had since the adjournment of the Grand Lodge at Iola, I was compelled to call the Board of Control, or "Beneficiary Board," to meet on the 7th of January in the city of Kansas City for the purpose of formulating plans whereby we may be able to meet our obligations and needs of our widows and their dependent children. The Board met pursuant to call. All members present. Conditions of affairs were presented to the Board showing that we have had eight (8) deaths since October, besides the eleven (11) deaths reported at the Grand Lodge session. The amount of claims for these nineteen deaths is $3,000, of which we have pid $2,075, leaving a deficit of $1,825. Of this amount we have on hand at this time about $600. After due consideration the Board voted that an assessment of $1.00 be assessed against each and every member of the order, to be paid on or before March 25th, 1912, and that the Grand Chancellor be empowered to issue proclamation for same. It therefore becomes my duty to issue the following proclamation: Know ye that I, John E. Lewis, Grand Chancellor of the Sunflower Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Kansas, whose duties, orders, prirogatives are imperative during the recess of the Grand Lodge, on his date, by authority of power vested in me, do hereby exact, levy and assess one dollar ($1.00) or, each and every member of the order in the jurisdiction for the purpose of increasing the Beneficiary Fund, which shall be paid on or before the 25th day of March, 1912. Chancellor Commandes and Masters of Finance will see that this amount is collected from each member of their respective lodges and forward the same to the Grand Secretary of the Endowment department, one-half (½) on the first day of February, 1912, and the last half (½) on March the 26th, 1912. Chancellor Commanders are requested to see that this amount is collected in preference of monthly dues. Members failing to pay same will be subject to Art. XIV, Sec. 2, Sub. Const. Blanks will be furnished to each lodge upon which to make their report. To raise your dollar ($1.00) with as little expense as possible, I hereby grant to each and every lodge in the jurisdiction a free dispensation to have two entertainments if desired to raise their money. The 24th day of March being our anniversary, I would suggest that this day be taken to raise the last half. We shall expect that every member whose name has appeared on this quarter Endowment report will appear on the report of this assessment. Let each of us as brave Pythians walk boldly to the front as men of honor—men who truly represent the noble characters whom we emulate, Damon and Pythias, and say with one accord, "To the rescue of uor noble order, here is my dollar." You need not divide it in two payments. Just think, this is the first assessment we have ever had in this department since the organization of our Grand Lodge. Does this not speak well for us, especially since we have paid out thousands and thousands of dollars to our widows and children? Will you bea Judas or a true Pythian? I hope that there will not be found a disloyal member in our ranks, but let each and every one remember his obligation as a true Knight of Pythias. Dear brethren, Judging by your loyalty in the past, knowing your love for our order and its welfare, I commend this to you and subscribe my name. This done and signed P. P.X.LVII. Note—I hereby extend the present dispensation, which will close on January 15, to March 31, 1912, with the same premiums. Ten (10) month shall be the minimum. We will decide by the number of applications received for policies. J. E. LEWIS, G. C. Attest: H. L. MONROE, G. K. of R. and S. Note—I hereby extend the present dispensation, which jums.
