The white man who offers such a measure casts reflection on then women. We have an abiding faith in the women of both races and must say they can select for themselves without a law.

Below is a copy of a Jim Crow bill offered by Hear of Medicine Lodge, Barton County on separate marriage. Why he still insists on this line of law-making is more than we can tell. This is his second attempt. He offered a similar bill two years ago, which was defeated. He is a Democrat whose ancestors we know not of. His foreparents may be from Texas or hell. We know he has some very inferior blood for the colored Americans, who should have as much rights as he or any other race in America. The colored man has done his share to make America what she is today. Intermarriage Bill In relation to marriage and prohibiting the marriage of persons of the Ethiopian and Caucasian races and the Mongolian and Caucasian races and prescribing penalties for the violation of this act. Be it enacted by the legislature of the State of Kansas: Section 1. That it shall be unlawful for persons of the Caucasian and Ethiopian races or for persons of the Caucasian and Mongolian races, to intermarry with each other; and all marriages hereafter contracted between members of the Caucasian and Ethiopian races or between the Caucasian and the Mongolian races, are hereby declared null and void. Sec. 2. Any person of the Caucasian race who shall knowingly contract marriage in fact with any member of the Ethiopian or Mongolian race, or any person of the Mongolian race or any person of the Ethiopian race who shall knowingly contract marriage in fact with any person of the Caucasian race, and any person who shall issue any license for or solemnize any such marriage knowingly, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined in a sum of not less than one hundred dollars not more than one thousand dollars or by imprisonment in the county jail not less than three months nor more than one year or by both such fine and imprisonment. to report the bill back to the House with the recommendation that it be passed.-Chairman. We call your attention to his bill, and how narrow, selfish and bias he is and at the same time says he has no malice against the colored man. Any white man who supports segregation laws is an enemy. Now his bill arranges, it so a white man can marry in all other races except the Ethiopian and Mongolian. He leaves the Indian and Malay for the white man of which both are colored and are not half as far advanced in cultivation as the American colored man or the Japanese or Chinese. The Mexican is deeply dyed with the same blood as the Japs and Chinese. If the American white man wants pure blood at this late date let him pass laws, to live unto themselves, and exclude all other races and let him frame his bill as he pretends he wants. He hollowed like a whipped cut when an amendment was offered to include the Indian. No! He wants the white man to secure all the wealth from the Indian. Why not let the colored man have a show at him? Don't be so selfish white man, give and take. It is you who have mixed up the colored race. There are no more Ethiopians. They were when they first landed in America, but since your race has so amalgamated them you cannot tell to what race they belong. Mr. Hert aught to know that there are members in the House who may have half brothers and sisters in the colored race and should be careful. Ninety per cent of the old ex-slave holders were fathers of colored children by colored mothers. We do not know whether Representative Hert's ancestors owned slaves or not but if they did, we will bet doughnuts to ginger takes his blood is mixed with the colored race. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JANUARY 17, 1913. comers and goers of foreign countries who comes to America. The first thing a foreigner is told when he lands in America to stay is to be shy of the Negro and that he is not considered anything by a white man. This is one of the thousand reasons why the white man fights segregation laws. We commend the white men who had the manhood and courage to oppose such laws and this bill. They are the safe men of the country. The Democrats forced through the house committee of the whole what Robert Stone, Republican floor leader, declared was "the opening wedge for Jim Crow legislation." The Democratic majority put through the bill introduced by J. N. Heir, of Barber county, prohibiting the intermarriage of whites and blacks. When charged with entertaining prejudice against the Negro, the Democratic leaders denied it. But when asked to vote for an amendment offered by S. M. Brewster, of Doniphan county, prohibiting intermarriage of whites and Indians, the Democrats refused. The author of the bill who had denied any prejudice towards the Negro waved his hand to his Democratic colleagues to vote against the Brewster amendment. The bill recommended for passage, subject to amendment and debate, is the same bill introduced by Mr. Herr two years ago. It was defeated at that time by the Republican majority. The bill passed the House. After the bill had been read Mr. Hern moved its adoption. As a substitute motion Stone of Shawnee moved that the enacting clause be struck out, and the right was on. Prejudice, Say + Stone. I am opposed to the intermarriage of white and blacks, just as is every good white man and every good Negro," said Mr. Stone, "but I fear this is but an entering wedge for Jim Clow legislation. It is aimed at the Negro and arises from unjust prejudice. The whites do not need the protection offered by this bill. We, as a race, put the Negro at the bottom of the social ladder, and the brotherly thing to do is to help him climb up. It is true that Jack Johnson married a white woman, but she was just as deprived as he be." "Worse," shouted someone in the hall. "Yes, worse," replied Mr. Stone, "a thousand times worse, for she came from a better and stronger people." Mr. Horn took up the defense of his bill. He quoted from letters written by several Negro educators declaring against the intermarrage of white and blacks. He took up the case of Jack Johnson, which is largely responsible for the sentiment for Jim Crow legislation. The Jack Johnson Case. "These marriages do occur," he said, "I think of the women who marry Negroes. I think of the wife of Jack Johnson. She committed suicide. It was the only way out. She was an outcast the moment she married him. Before she died, she said 'God pity the lonely woman.' It was because of the lack of just such a law as this that a white woman married a Negro her in Iopaka, right in sight of the state house and committed suicide. I am as good a friend of the Negro race as there is on the floor of this house or within the confines of Kansas. But I do not believe it is an act of friendship to assume false hopes and false aspirations in the Negro's breast. This bill of mine is not a forerunner of 'Jim Crow' legislation as has been intimated. I will oppose any 'Jim Crow' bill that is offered. The measure is not aimed at the Negro any more than at the white man." Robert Stone secured the floor for a reply. He picked up a copy of the bill. "This bill," he said, "prohibits the intermarriage of Caucasians, Ethiopians and Mongolians. Why not prohibit the intermarriage of Ethiopians and Mongolians? The fact that it not does prohibit that shows plainly that the bill is aimed at the Negro." Apply Golden Rule. C. G. Blakely of Shawnee county walked over to the Democratic side and asked that the members forget their politics and apply the golden rule to the bill under consideration "Forget that your face is white for a moment," he said. "Put yourself in the Negro's place and see if you would not think this bill is aimed at you. Gentlemen, I do not believe we need this legislation. Let's allow matters to stand as they are." Speaker Brown left his seat to make an argument in favor of the bill. He declared that he wanted to help the Negro race, but not at the expense of the white race. "I oni, bill," he said, "we are not only protecting the white race, but the black race as well. Unless we make some such legislation as this we will continue until our streets are crowded with the mulatto, and bless the Negro, I like to see them move up the ladder as well as anyone, but never at the expense of the race to which I belong. It is anological position to say that we want the intermarriage of races stopped out don't want a law to stop it." Calls Such Law Unless. J M. Sattherwante of Butler county opposed the bill because he declared such a law would be absolutely useless. A Whine from the Backwoods of Missouri. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 18, 1911. Hon J. N. Heir. My Dear Sir: I think both of your bills are timely and to the point. Then passage will in time prove a blessing to both races. No sensible Negro will object, nor will any honest white man oppose their becoming laws. As a Negro, I am in favor of any honest measure that will create a more friendly relation between the black and white man. As president of the Negro State Teacher's Association of Missouri, I unhesitatingly favor both of your bills. J. SILAS HARRIS. P.S. You may let the press know where I stand. This man does not present the leading intelligent and progressive men of the race. He is from the back wood, of Missouri. These Who Voted for the Bill. The following member, voted for this bill showing their sympathy for Jeff Davis, Tallman, Vardaman and other rebel sympathizers of the lost cause of 1861. They are the enemies of Kansas, the colored race, John Brown and Abe Lincoln. They are a degree to the state. Members voting in the affirmative vote: Messrs.

To Those Who Voted Against the Bill We doff our hats to the loyal sixteen who voted against the bill showing their loyalty to Kansas and her war heroes. They can be trusted to do the right thing at any time. God bless them and prolong their lives for future usefulness. Let all the people pray for their success. Members voting in the negative were: Measrs. Blakely, Burtis, Cook, Daily, Davis of Gray, Holbrook, Keene, McDannald, Newlin, Ostlind, Satterthwaite, Sharpless, iTurner, Tyler, Tyson, Voiland. Members absent or not voting were: Messrs. Atkinson, Brewster, Carney, Carroll, Jewett, Johnson, Lane, Orr, Ragle, Rotzel, Stone of Shawnee. A constitutional majority having voted in the affirmative, the bill was passed and the title as amended was agreed to. Explanation of Votes. Mt. Speaker: I regard this act as unnecessary, uncalled for, and useless. Some of its provisions are objectionable. It is a reflection upon the Caucasian race to presume that they need any such legislation. I therefore vote No. I N Sutterthwaite. Mr. Speaker: I believe that there is an element of race pride which among the better class of people, of all races, renders legislation of this kind unnecessary so far as they are concerned. The more scientific way of dealing with all such problems is to remove the conditions which produce a down trouble ignorant class. Under a just economic system the members of the various race, would be free to work their own destiny, with equal opportunity and under conditions which they would make for themselves, thus stimulating race pride instead of race prejudice and render legislation of this character unnecessary, as each race would naturally seek to maintain its own integrity. I therefore vote Yes. B. P. Wilson We think they would have voted against the bill as we know Store of Shawnee put up a good fight against the bill. The Socialist. B. P. Wilson of Crawford, should be sent back to his county and there kept in close confinement until learned what Socialism means. He is a Judy to his party. Voted against his explanation. Colored Farmers in Convention! The Sunflower Agricultural association met at the Topchka Industrial Institute last week. This was one of the best meetings held for some time. Prof W R Carter and his faculty deserve much credit for the hospitality shown the visitors. They furished eating and sleeping accommodations to all who came free of expense, and all who brought horses had them cared for in the same way. There were several important lectures. A gentleman from Manhattan spoke on "Alfalfa," Hon J G Grove, talked on "Farm Life and How to Make it Pay," J C Carson of Doug County, Mellon of W. I Hunter of Topchka I I and S. Morrow spoke on "Hog Raising." All these lectures were tacely and full of interest and helpful hurts. The farmers were favored with a sure treat in having with Price $1.50 Per Year. them Rev. Dr. J. E. Ford of Jacksonville, Ila, who gave some very good and wholesome advice, and also wrote the revolution. The people in the West always welcome him because he belongs in the West and is only loaned to the South for awhile. The sessions will hereafter be held at the Institute and the farmers were unanimous for Prof. Carter for president. He has a great school and it is progressing each year. The exhibit of products raised on the farm were good. A ham weighing over fifty pounds was made from a hog raised on the industrial farm. The officers elected are as follows: W R Carter, president; J. C Carson, vice-president; 2nd vice-president, Mrs. A. J. Bolin; 3rd vice-president, I. G. Martin; secretary, A. Emery; treasurer, J. G.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES Of the Sunflower State Agricultural Association Held at the Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, Jan. 16-17, 11. 1. First and foremost we would set forth the necessity to the race getting land; a large acreage if in the country, increased acreage in truck gardening and even if in the city the purchase of lots and suburban property. The man who owns the land is controlling the situation. God is not making any more land and when this is possessed there will be no opportunity for securing more. 2 We are especially interested in calling attention to the mortgage system. If you buy on time and under mortgage stick to it until the principal and interest is paid. Nothing cuts into the vitalities and energy of the farmer as interest. Therefore, see to it that the interest and principal is paid as soon as possible. 3 Beautify the home. Nothing has habitated against country life, or farm or suburbs as much as the inconveniences and deprivations of utility and beauty in the home. Farmers' wives and children are not happy often because of the inconveniences endured and suffered in the home. In these days of electric light, telephone, easy conveyances, good literature and music the country home can be made as convenient as the city home. 1-The education of children. The farmer and truck gardener should regard their children as hands rather than as sons and daughters, to be cultured and educated and refined the same as children in the city. It is a mistake to regard them of such economic importance as not to be real flesh and blood, to be warned and developed into full-fledged citizenship. If the best schools are not in your neighborhood it is possible, with a small expense today, to send your boy or girl to the industrial, agricultural and normal schools or colleges within your own state and adjoining states, where they can receive the best of education, social and Christian instruction and be brought into contact with the boys and girls from other sections. We therefore, enunciate as one of the essential declarations of this association the education of the children on the farm. 5-0 in next declaration is the con- stitution of the soil by rotation of trees and proper fertilization. Much land is actually robbed of fertil- ization by lack of knowledge of the soil and its necessary constituents. We therefore urge the attendance of farmer and truck gatherers at our annual association where the best informed educators in agriculture not only give lectures upon the care of the soil but also answer all ques- tions dealing with any department of A Sure Guide TO Poultry Success ever offered on the subject and is published only by us.

And again it is written "Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head"—Rum. 12-20. But to obey this divine injunction you must be pure in heart. "Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord,"—Matt. 23.39, for he that so cometh will bear no ill will toward his fellowman, and all such are the pure in heart. The members of the Kansas Legislature may think that a measure prohibiting intermarriage between whites and blacks is "Jim Crow" dope, but if it is not, then there is no Jim Crow" legislation. Any law matured in black is "Jim Crow." Not that we care a rap for such a law, but it is the spirit in which it is stated which makes the stigma. Such a law puts the colored man on a level with the beast of burden, or even lower- on the under side of the brute level. There seems to be a dead on the part of the whites for the safety of the white women, not to save them from the blacks, but to save them from themselves. They seem to think that the white women are prone to marrying colored man. Of course, this is putting a high(?) estimate on white womanhood and putting a premium on Negro manhood. Now we believe that the white man should strive to save themselves from the colored women who fancy their society and pass a law that would inflict penal servitude upon every white man guilty of consorting with colored women, no matter how low in degradation they have fallen, as such a law will serve to put an end to amalgamation more effectively than any law forbidding intermarriage between the blacks and whites The Capital is opening its eyes just a little on a very important matter and speaks thusly: "The Legislature probably has enough important things to attend to without taking time to consider a proposed law for bidding marriage between white and colored persons, a matter important enough in southern states, but of no consequence in Kansas. And the same may be said of "Jim Crow" car bills and the like. Such bills are the sort that justify the criticism of "too many laws," where no occasion for them exists." There is no "probably" in the matter. If the Kansas law-makers will devote their time solely to digging up dead laws and disposing of them they will be kept busy forty-nine days of their allotted time, and the other day can be spent in congratulating themselves on a good work well done, and they can go home with a clear conscience and can rest assured that the --- --- HISTORY OF THE UNION PASSING COMMENT BY JOHN M DORSEY THE PURE IN HEART. In James 3.7-10 we find the following: "For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind. "But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. "Therewith Jesus we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the attitude of God. "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing: my brethren, these things ought not so to be." So we see that the tongue is an evil that we must all come in contact with in our journey through life, but when the deadly poison is aimed at us we must not lay down to die from the effects, but must so live before men that we can show to the world that we are proof against the evil; but in order to do this we must be pure in heart, as the writings of Matt 5 10 12 tell us that "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness" sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. "Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven." But in order to stand up under this strain you must be pure in heart. And again it is written "Ye have heard it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbours, and hate thine enemy. "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you: "That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven" Matt. 5:43-45. But if you are not pure in heart you cannot do this. If you are pure in heart you will not spend your time trying to get some one behind the bars for circulating false statements. Instead of wasting time in any such manner, spend your time in showing to the world that you are pure in heart and can stand the strain. "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."—Matt. 5:18. When men, in whatever calling they find themselves, start out to punish some one for things said, or done they are not living up to the divine infliction as is told in Rom. 12:19, which says "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is Uncle Sam Poultry Book Uncle Sam Poultry Book Here's just the book you are looking for.

Tener of Pennsylvania is the man who is building on solid rock. There is no make-shift about him. He ordered an investigation into the Contestville affair in which officers of the law took the leading role in the brutal butchery of a colored man accused of crime, and not only that, but sent the attorney-general of the state to assist in the prosecution. But the citizens absolutely refused to find any of the culprits guilty, and all were released. Now Gov. Tener is seeking to deprive that ungodly community of the right to a place on the map and thereby place the brand of Cain upon them as unworthy the name of citizens, and we trust that the good people of Pennsylvania will go the full limit with Governor Tener and hold up his hands while he is doing a duty for which the world will rise up and call him blessed. --- A little "Crow" is as bad as more "Crow" and if the present legislature goes on record for a black law on the marriage question it might is well go the full limit and give us "Jim Crow" cars, and street cars, "Jim Crow" schools from stem to stern, even to the limit of building a school house and hiring a teacher or the benefit of one pupil, and on top of girls add a "grandfather" lause. Get in full accord with the South and southern ideas and have the worry over with. Yes, gentlemen, go the full limit or don't start. Kansas has claimed a place in the progressive column and is marching onward, but there are some people in the state who are really anxious to start on the backward track by passing a law that would another the growth and render it impossible to progress again till Gabriel rounds the trumpet, and then we will stop on board the train bound for everlasting tournment. ```markdown ``` The member of the Kansas legislature who has introduced a bill to fine all voters who fail to cast a ballot has sawdust in his head for what ought to be brain.

If You Want to Keep Your Live Stock Feed Only Sound Corn. During the fall and winter months of 1911 and 1912 letters were frequently received by the Kentucky experiment station describing a peculiar and strange mainly affecting horses, cattle and monkeys. Newspapers over the state frequently commented on the loss sustained by certain men in their community from a so called "mysterious disease." An investigation and personal observation of this outbreak in Kentucky furnished conclusive evidence that the disease in question was forage poisoning, also called epizootic, cerebral spinal malignity and commonly termed "bilial staggers," traceable in a majority of cases to unround corn, fodder or fermented cattle. To control this disease and prevent the unaffected animals from contracting it has been demonstrated possible in Kentucky by discontinuing the feeding of molds forage. This is not a curative step with animals showing symptoms. ```markdown ``` Photograph by kentucks agricultural experiment station Photograph by Kentucky agricultural experiment station MOLDY CORK BLAMED FOR CEREBROPIAL MENINGHAM IN DURSEN, CATTLE AND MILLS toms, as a large percentage of the cases has been fatal even when receiving skillful medical attention. Very few cases have occurred after a complete change of feed was made. On one farm a complete change of feed was recommended to check the disease, and six cases appeared almost simultaneously between the fourth and seventh days following the change, but no further cases were reported, and it is safe to conclude that the infection gained entrance prior to the change of feed, after which time the disease had been incubating in the cases noted. The acute form of the disease has been more prevalent than any other, especially in horses and mules. Animals so affected succumb in from two to three days from the time the first clinical symptoms were manifested so suddenly have some of the cases developed that practically no premonitory symptoms were noted by the owner. Animals were frequently found dead in the morning that evidenced no symptoms of ill health to the owner on the previous day. Horses were attacked at work in the field and died within a few hours. THE TRIFLES THAT COUNT. Better farming may lie in just such simple things as adjusting the plow to do the best possible work, in feeding stock so that not a bit of waste follows and in carrying out plans carefully laid. What the world needs is not so much men who have thousands to lay out in land and equipment as farmers who know the value of details and have the will and the disposition to work to the line.—Farm and Fireside. --- Poultry Wisdom In a Nutshell.

Warm days between now and spring may be used to advantage, cutting out dead timber or branches that are too crowded among or hard or shade trees or shrubbery. Be careful in pruning to cut close to the shoulder so that the wound may readily heal next season. It is well in the case of trees to paint the wound over with some cheap paint in order to prevent drying it and cracking. We're Gaining In Wisdom.

No World-Burial—Satan to Be Bound—Sin, Sickness and Death to Be Conquered—Man to Be Delivered. The Power Vested In Messiah—His Kingdom Nean—How It Will Appear. Denver, Dec. 1.—This city is stirred Seventeen pastors of all denominations have been discussing the second Advent for a month. Now comes Pastor Russell telling us all that "The Earth abdicates forever"—that it will never be destroyed by literal fire. According to Denver, Dec. 1. This city is stirred Seventeen pastors of all demonstrations have been discussing the second Advent for a month. Now comes Pastor Russell telling us all that "The Earth ableth forever"—that it will never be destroyed by literal fire. According to him the great event of Christ's Coming will bring blessings such as so all desire. He seems to have the Bible and logic on his side too! Pastor Russell declared that false concepts of the Second Coming of Christ find done great injury. The view set forth in all orthodox creeds is that Christ will come again in the flesh. The resurrection will take place within twenty four hours. The sainthy will rise in the air to meet the Lord. Then fire will come down from heaven, and consume the whole earth. Promillennialists claim that Christ will reign in deadly glory a thousand years to bless the living. The majority of Christians disown this as ridiculous nonsense because they believe little of creed or Bible. A minority perceive its inconsistency with the Bible. What Bible Students Now See. The "fire of that day" is symbolical, already kindling in society, the elements of which, Capital and Labor, are getting hotter, soon they will melt, the symbolical "earth" will be consumed with the "heavens" also, the ecclesiastical powers. Their passing away will usher in a "new earth," or social order, and "new heavens," the Church in glory. The Second Coming of Christ is associated with blessings. Messiah will abolish the curse and bring in wonderful blessings. The Day of Christ will be "the Last Day,"—the great Seventh Thousand and year Day. All humanity will be blessed, including the dead who will then be awoken. Christ Comes to Reign. As the redemption was necessary for man's salvation so Messiah's Kingdom is necessary to accomplish resultion. The delay of more than eighteen centuries is Scripturally explained: (1) God designed New Great One Thousand Year Days to teach mankind the exceeding sinfulness of sin. He purposed that on the Seventh Day the blessing of Messiah should come. (2) An important work has been done since Calvary. An Elect Church has been gathered out of all nations-saluts made perfect through suffering, a Little Book, the "Church of the Firstborn" These are to become the Bride of Christ at III Second Advent. The Second Coming of Jesus is to claim His Bible class, and to exalt them. As regards the world, He comes to bind Satan, to overthrow sin, and to uplift fallen humanity. St Peter tells that Restitution work, not a literal burning of the world, awaits the Second Coming of Jesus: "Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord"—lets ill, 1921. Christ's Kingdom to Be Spiritual. One great mistake we have all made is in not nothing that Jesus was human for only thirty-three and a half years. He was a glorious spirit being before He was made flesh; and He was resurrected to a spirit condition—higher than His original one. How foolish we were to think of Jesus as a man (a little lower than angelst in the midst of the Heavenly host). He is now partaker of the Divine nature; His Church is to be "changed" and made "like Him". As His descent was from a higher to a lower, so His ascent was from a lower nature to a higher, "far above angels". He is the exceeding glory which "no man hath seen nor can see"—"which no man can approach unto" It is this glorious Being whose Kingdom is about to be established. He and His church will be no invisible to men oppose Satan and the fallen angels. The appearances of Jesus in the flesh after His resurrection were madeifications, to prove. (1) that Jesus was in longer dend; (2) that he was changed born of the Spirit, able to go and come like the wind. Parousia, Epiphania, Apocalypse. Messiah's Kingdom will have earthly representatives—the faithful saints of previous ages related to human perfection in earthly. Through these the invisible Messiahic Kingdom will operate Jesus said, "Ye shall see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom." The paradox of focus will come first—present but farible. The world will continue with the ordinary affairs of life (while He is gathering the Church), as in the days of Josh. After the gathering of the Church, there will be an apocalyptic and an epiphany of Jesus. He will judge forth, he will be revived, not in flesh but in daming life, the trouble of that day, in which the present order will be consumed in anarchy, giving place to the Kingdom Dispensation. GOOD FOR BARN USE. Variety of Employment May Be Found For Handy Window Jack. A window jack for repairing, cleaning and painting the windows and the openings in the barn should find a place on every farm. The accompanying illustration will show the reader how such a jack may be easily constructed. The upper drawing shows the jack completed and will be understood without further elaboration. The lower drawing shows the jack in place in A a window. The plu is made of any strong wood, such as oak or hickory, or it may be an iron plu. As will be seen, several holes are bored in the inside end of the jack and at various angles, so the jack will fit any thickness of walls. The top board should be at least fourteen or sixteen inches wide, and the jack should be well malled and braced, as illustrated—Farm and lanch SELECT SEED CORN EARLY. Many Advantages In This Plan. Keep Close to Type. One of the main reasons why seed corn should be selected early is to be reasonably sure it will grow the following year when planted, says a Minnesota bulletin. Early selected seed corn is the corn that usually gives the best stand. Without a good stand it is impossible to get a maximum yield, and it costs no more to take a yield of corn with a perfect stand than it does to raise a field with a 90 to 70 per cent stand. Every good kernel of corn has in it a live, though very small, corn plant. This plant is tender and easily injured, unless kept under favorable conditions. Seed corn that is not thoroughly dry before cold weather will freeze. The freezing of the kernel causes it to expand thus injuring the germ, or little plant, lowering its vitality and often destroying it, so the kernel will not germinate it is well, if possible, to have every cut of seed corn selected before a killing frost. In the choice of corn for seed one select the ears that he believes will give him the largest yield of good corn the following year. It is a good plan to choose an ear of corn that is as near the type wanted as possible; then keep this ear from year to year, or until you get a better one. At any rate have a single ear that you can now at惯ously to help you in following one keep this type ear hung when selecting corn in the fall, and in the spring, when the first selection is made, it is well to compare it ears carefully with the type ear. TOO BAD! Let us devote a few minutes or pity to the past farmer's wife far away from the bargain counter. Her children cannot watch the fire engines pass by. The only place they have to play is God's out of doors. She cannot go to the telephone and order, with a careless air, state fruits and wilted vegetables for dinner, but must go out and gather these things fresh from the tree and vine. Early in the morning she must get up to see that her better half does not overleep. She shares the work of the long day with her bus band; no time to murmur at her lot no city jeeps only the telephone, the crackling of the hears and rumble mail delivery to direct her mind while she is toiling far out in the quiet county. --- Orchard and Garden. After the strawberry bed has been set and raked for through the summer, it should be mulched through the winter. A bed uncovered in the early spring in poorly silted soil to grow too early. Make a most thorough inspection of all fruit and vegetables before placing them in storage pits or winter blanks. The least attention of the skin on fruits will be noticed on and a speck of rot at this time will mean an entirely mined product in midwinter to say nothing of the other products it may contaminate and spoil. Some cotton manure will be needed next spring to place in the bottom of the flats and probable to mix with soil to be used for seed sowing and transplanting. Now is the time to look out for this supply. Either cotton bran measure or new manure will serve the purpose. If this cannot be found a compost pile should be made at once and turned a few times during the winter to improve its texture. Miss Grace Gothard is spending a few days in Wichita visiting with her friend, Miss Lucile Thomas. Miss Alice Wilson and Miss Fannie Rawles spent the holidays in the city and were present at the open doors given at Mrs. Paul Parkinson's by the Excelsior Art and Literary club, and also at the grand ball at Broadus hall. They left for Wichita, declaring they had spent a pleasant time while in the city The Excelsior Art and Literary club met Wednesday of last week at the residence of Mrs Will Owens, on Second avenue, east. The members responded at roll call by giving some event of the Civil war, which made the meeting very interesting. After the transaction of business delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. The club adjourned to meet Jan. 22 with Mrs. J. W. Pope, on 11th avenue west The Imperial Art club was delightfully entertained at the home of Mrs. Ben Butler, 321 B West.

The club adjourned with the motto, and met Jan. 23 with Miss E. Staten. The Grant Art club was delightfully entertained at the residence of Mrs. S. Carroll on Tuesday, the regular meeting day.

The Order of the Eastern Star will meet in a call meeting Friday for installation. Refreshments will be served. The younger set of the city have organized a music club. This is a very good step and they have the well wishes, of everyone. The entertainment given the Tabernacle lodge last Thursday was a success in every way. A neat sum was added to the treasure. Miss Grace Gothard spent a few days visiting in Wichita The following letter written by a Kansas young Negro student attending Michigan University recently was published in the columns of the Detroit Free Press, the leading daily of that state. Considering the fact that Michigan, its University and every Michigan alumnus throughout the United States stands for the same ideals, that is democracy, equality and brotherhood; this letter proves all the more effective and timely, and has cheered much comment and praise everywhere. It follows: "Permit me on behalf of my people to thank you for the big-hearted editorial that appeared in your issue of December 200th inst on "The Negro Soldier." It is just such moral courage to speak out rather for right and justice to all than for the Negro solely that does the most good to mould and crystallize the rapidly changing sentiment fixing the status of the Negro in America. There is a keen sense of "fair play" and "square deal" deep down in the heart of every true American for all men who "make good." And your editorial this morning has aroused and emphasized this fairness in the case of these Negro warriors whose record and achievements prove their value and ability." SALINA, KANSAS. Mr. and Mrs. I. W Ray have gone to Kansas City where they will reside in the future. Until recently Mr. Ray was employed at the National hotel. Salina has been experiencing some very severe weather of late, the thermometer registering as low as 24 below zero. Rev. I. W Johnson, pastor of the A M. E church, preached for Rev. G. T. Wooton, pastor of the M. R. church the occasion being the last quarterly meeting. Rev Wooton will close up his year's work here the last Sunday in February.

All the churches reported excellent services throughout the city Sunday. It has been proven that Evangelist Reaves does other things as well as to preach the gospel. He has at the parsonage where he stops pieces of his handwork, one piece of Mexican drawn work, a lunch cloth, and a fine hand bag. He thinks he is in a class to himself in this line, as he firmly believes that there is not another man in Kansas that enjoys the distinction of belonging to an art club. WISFIELD, KAS. Mr. R. A.

Tener of Pennsylvania has recommended to the Legislature that the municipal charter of Coatesville he taken away from it, because of the failure of the people of the municipality and county to punish any of the criminals guilty of taking Zack Walker from the hospital and lynching and burning him because he had killed a policeman in a scrap The state did its duty bravely through its legal department at the time of the trials, but the people of Coatesville and county failed to do them; now the Governor asks the people of the state by their Legislature, to brand the criminals as unworthy of sovereign citizenship. Coatesville has had troubles of ruin over since the lynching a year ago, and it looks as if it would continue to have them. It has written death and misfortune upon the brows of all those guilty of the lynching and burning and condonation of the savagery and they will not escape the price. It is a fearful thing for the people of a Christian community to have branled in their foreheads in letters of nure: "Ye be murderers!" by their fellow citizens, of the nation — N Y.

Phone J. 2968 Farm and Garden Reckoning the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover. A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer says that paper places undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of lumber and interest on the investment in a machinery shed is greater than the depletion on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies The average bar rate farm is regarded as having $100 invested in farm machinery including wagons and tractors. It is our belief that the average Kansas farm has cost $100 invested. We are confident that the deprivation on farm equipment when exposed to the storms is not less than 10 per cent per year. We are inclined to the belief that it is 20 per cent per year. We know that 20 per cent deprivation will apply to at least a part of the equipment. * The more equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in dollars and cents. One hundred dollars will cost a first class machinery shed. If $100 is not available $50 will cost a shed sufficiently large to house in a very satisfactory manner $1,000 to $1,700 worth of machinery. The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed, and its use will require some piling up of machinery. * This, however, can be done with no cash outlay and with little outlay of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shed itself is 5 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 5 or 6 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery. "It does not seem possible that a wide awake farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care, even though it be impossible for him to provide a machine shed." FLOUR BARREL COOP Cheaply Made and Provides Plenty of Room for the Chickens. Floor barrels take excellent coops, roomy and cheap, says Farm and Fireside, from which this article and illustration are taken. A little frame is made for the front, consisting of four pieces of wood of the uprights 6 by 24 inches, and two cross pieces, top and bottom, 2 by 20 inches. Fasten frame to truss of barrel by wire, leaving opening for door ```markdown ``` Fasten it so that a slide door eight inches wide can be easily drop ped in from the top. This door is made of one half inch mesh cellar window wire, unlined frown hatch, but door is made of coor one half inch mesh cel- lar window wire, nailed or staplied to stiles of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely ver min proof. Cover barrel with old 'D' roasting or spooning, so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sun from warping it. Of course a coat of paint will add to its attractiveness, but it is not necessary for craft of purposes. Runs of any size made of wire netting can be attached to the barrel, and with netting over the top of runs the chicks are safe from crowds or the annoyance of grown chickens. Barrels and runs can be easily moved to fresh ground. The runs are made substantial by the addition of a few stakes driven into the ground to support the wire netting --- CROPS AND CRITTERS. Grow more leguminous crops and keep animals to consume these plants. This will build up your soil and increase the profits of your farm. What the Lawyers Tell Us. As a general rule, the owner of a wilful animal who has notice of its wilful character is liable for any in- jury committed by it and due to its fault. A person who, with knowledge that his agent is violation of his authority, is purchasing goods for use in the business of his employer, fails to dis- count will be held to have paid and adopted the agent's acts - R.

This is the decision of Judge Nogez in the federal district court in New York. A written contract should be drawn and signed by both the landowner and the seller when a rental agreement is commuted. This may avoid a misunderstanding and prevent trouble. A oral contract should be no blinding as a written agreement, but the oral contract may be forgotten or its stipulations are fully understood. ...REGARDING... Near Crossing Stops. The first day's operation under the "NEAR STOP" rule was generally satisfactory. The following modifications have been suggested for the greater convenience of the patrons of certain lines and will be adopted and become effective immediately, as follows: The OAKLAND cars will stop just beyond the sidewalk crossing on East Seventh Street at Kansas Avenue. All cars passing Sixth and Jefferson Street will stop at the West Crossing of Jefferson Street. All Country Club cars will stop at the North crossing of Thirteenth and Clay Streets and will stop with rear platform of car over sidewalk crossings through Central Park as heretofore.

Long Eared Hybrid Better Than the Horse In Many Ways The man's ability to take care of himself makes him very useful where much time is needed to care for you cannot irritate him so you can rest he will take a good stroll golf and keep it. Also, he likes to seek and sell it at a house in the town flesh from the department that from the work but not so with the man he will pursue the best hour THE of his way and pay little attention to the duty driver may a correspondent of the traffic fault attendant In last weather it is almost impossible sible to hurt him and do the duty not await not print, as does the house. A man will not get into trouble but he seems never to get wrong. If he lies over the tongue of gets his hatiness first he either gets loose privately or waits for the driver to get him out of the difficulty. One of the especially good points of the made is its excellent health. A sleek made is too indolent the well not overestimated drink too much when warm A mule has not require so much concentrated feel to keep him in good deed as does a horse of corresponding weight. The mule at lathe be tame, near Storm in the 18, where I was employed, water at eight points of shallown corn and a generous supply of other hay per day that kept them in good deed. It houses an excellent feed, and they do work well, than the 120 pound studder to bring ten pounds of sheared, nine eight pounds of good oats and good thistle. Mules will consume more toughness than horses and less grain than them plenty of hay and they are short of lathe. ONE IDEA OF GOOD FARMING "Smile, is your master a good farmer?" "Oh yes, master, great rate farmer. He is the two crops in one year." "Flow is that, Smiley?" "Why, he sell all the hay to fall and the money, more, than in de farming, he sell to利息 of de cattle that all for want of hay and make money two." Farm and flom. Minet English Rust covers a surface when grout may be mixed with water or a very salty factory slag product. It there is an abundance of iron for tilting the slag we rather for mixing the slag and cloves and putting the slag into the slag. Legumes make a very good grade of slage, but in the process of fermentation, owing to their high protein content, they develop very odor from the animal soil. They produce an all flavored milk. Note this on line, that it is more satisfactory to use in the slag, coming from the lower and middle and feeding it by lime. - Value of Barnyard Manure The nitrogen in barium must be readily worth a considerable pound. In the course of two months a house will produce fifteen tons of manure and litter, containing in total numbers the pounds of nitrogen with a value of $10.40. When this same kind of inflation is applied to a known animal on the farm it is easy to know what the value of the manure is, if that amounts to the gross in such way that this nitrogen can be withdrawn after fertilizing elec. bodies, it saved £545. Watch Your Sheep's Weal If the animal is in poor health the effect on the growth of the worm is similar to insufficient food. Nine of ten shed or all掉 their wool as a result of a feverish condition. Any severe illness extending over sufficient time to restore the animal in flesh will almost invariably cause a weak place in the wool. Farm Progress GREEN MANURE. Few people understand the real value of green minute. According to Dr. Brooks of the Illinois station, intimately digest and thus leave to a third of the dry matter in the feed which they consume that one ton of alfalfa or wheat played under would all be in harmony to the soil with three tons of clover.

Directions For Mixing the Concrete and Filling the Forms. The following directions are given by the Rimi New Yorker for taking it in such bed which of course could be extended to my length desired. A standard method such as 2 by 2 foot lay out the last six foot eight inches wide by twelve feet (on inches long) on note will serve six feet thick by the foundation tremors two feet six feet deep within the lines given above. Make forms of one inch from last to carry the south (front) will six inches and the north (back) will four inches above the ground. Forms are not required below ground level. The tops of the end walls slope to the others. Before taking the forms with complete test the dimensions of the foot by means of the sash. See that the sash tip the forms two inches on all sides. Mix the concrete musky wet in the proportion of one long of cement to two and one half inch feet of sand to two cubic feet of crushed rock or one long of cement to five cubic feet of bone, put gravel. Fill the forms with and stopping for anything. The walls together at the corners by laying them all into holes bent to right angles.

Take down the limits of the two layers. The extra two and two weights lie in length of the bed is allowance for the three centers below on the sink. These wash supports are of heavier one thick stout shaped for a capital turned upside down. The length of the stem of the L is equal to the thickness of the sink, and the top is three in height with sufficient materials for the concrete will be supplied by fourteen bags of cement one in a quarter pint of sand and two and one half cubic yards of crushed rock or fourteen bags of cement and two and a half yards of pot gravel at a cost of about $10.

The winter protection of the trees should be the amount of depth a foot or a high and coldness to lose in diameter. - National Soil Bank, Wallport The Value of Drama In this process the saprous water, improves the diameter of the soil, makes the available supply of water more abundant, saves the soil and increases available soil supply aerates it, prevents erosion and bearing. Increases plant growth. Work For Winter Days The wood lot offers a place where the farmer may turn winter days into point, cutting wood, basking lumber and posts sawed and clearing up land now worthless. Farm and Garden Here's One That Has Been Found to Work Very Satisfactorily. We have the wagon gates through which we must pass very often often a dozen or more times every day—as a correspondent of Home and Farm. The boys live on one hill and the old folks on the other, and between the two places is a new pasture three quarters of a mile long, part woodland and part cleared land. To get dow at every such deal of trouble would take other work avoid this open faward, mule cannot hung so they accord. They ing made of will not point It is not trou nt all to pass through, even with a led horse, and there is great satisfaction in knowing that the gate will be sure to shut itself and require no further thought. But there is one difficulty which no doubt occurs to the reader's mind. Will not the wind blow it open and let stock into the cornfields? yes it will. And that is the point of this letter. One of the gates has a woodland to protect it from such an occurrence. Only a very severe wind from the east will affect it in the least. Only since a strip was cut through for a telephone line has such a thin occurrence at all The other one, however, is easily afected by a wind from the west, a body of wood and of very dense growth detleting even a north wind against it. But we have solved even that problem with what we call a wind litch. A piece of inch board 6 by 12 inches is trimmed to almost a feather at one end. A three eighth inch hole is bored elgwise near the other end. A seven inch spike is put through and drilled an inch into the post against which the gate still is near the top of the post, on the outside, so it hangs down clear of the bath wires of which the fence is laid. A piece of heavy wire three inches long is driven sidewise and on the west side in or the top of this board, or "wing," as we call it. A ring or loop, is burned in the free end, from which a smaller wire extends downward to meet the middle of the gate, where it connects with the latch proper. This is a small tool, the size of a six-penny nail and it passes through a three-eighths inch hole, hored down grain through a six inch board. The west end is bent square to the north, and the who from the wing is connected with it. The eastern end is bent directly downward. Now, when the wind blows hard enough to cause the gate to open it will raise the wing and that will throw the eastern end of this tool so as to touch the gate. Like nearly all our gates, this one is swung to a tree with the upper hinge alone feet from the ground. The what often causes this fate to sway back and forth but this hatch always catches the gate in spite of wind. TWO GOOD THINGS. ```markdown ``` Some good family men think by feeding skating bells in the morning they are more apt to remain contented by on their nests all day.

Taking the great run of soils the country over, phosphorus, calcium and humus are the only materials necessary to add to them. Calcium is supplied best in form of ground limestone, phosphorus in the form of basalt, silica phosphate or phosphate rock, the humus by the green minutes, grass and farm manure. Here are some of the crop requirements. Grains - Nitrogen, phosphorus Hydrogen - Nitrogen Sugar Bodies Nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, potassium Pons, Clover, Alfalfa - Calcium, phos phorus, potassium Beans - Phosphorus, potassium, calciu Sols which hold moisture do not lack nitrogen. The differ a soil may be, as a rule, the greater is the lack of nitrogen The dry soil remains poor in humus in moist spots the soil is darker and humus content increased. The heavy clay soils require a heavier dressing of phosphorus and a lighter dressing of nitrogen, while on the dry soil the reverse is true. Wet, cold soils are for the most part poor in potassium With a few plain principles like these before them farmers ought to be able to go forward and increase production on their land 50 to 100 per cent. Plans of crop rotation should bring wheat after corn, clover after wheat (one or two years) and potatoes after clover Cowpeas, sugar beets, turnips and similar crops ought to have a place in the relative scheme CULTIVATE BRAINS.

Now anybody is that a consolidated body would simply be one body and could not be of two bodies after consolidation. The agreement was that the two churches would consolidate and build a new church. It was also agreed upon that the consolidated church would hold meetings in the old Second Baptist church until the New Church was completed. It was further agreed upon that the trustees would sell the old Mt. Zion church property and pay off all outstanding indebtedness, and we also wish to state that until this day there does not exist in Manhattan, Kansas, any Mt. Zion Baptist church, according to the nature of the act of merging. We can and will be very glad at any time to furnish entire minutes of the said transaction. We further wish the public to know that the Second Baptist church is without a pastor and if anything unsatisfactory occurred it would have been the duty of the church to call a council and not to take advice of an individual. We further want the public to know that out of a total membership of Mt.
