Here we found ten old craftsmen busily engaged in setting type, doing press work etc. Their work is the finest specimens of the printer's art, and it brought a shade of sadness over us to see these skilled old boys thus de- Fifteenth Year. No. 45. GOV HODGES ADMINISTRATION APPROVED BY THE PEOPLE. "Kansas is enjoying one of the best administrations in the state's history," is a familiar expression in every section of Kansas we have visited during the past two months, and the voters are loud in their praise of Gov. Geo. H. Hodges, to whom they give due credit for the improved conditions in the state. Gov. Hodges is the one man in all Kansas who has stood by and kept his pledge to the people. He has guarded their interest as a mother would a child. He has kept down unnecessary expense and so manipulated the affairs of state that it has released the burden of taxes that for years has been a mill-stone around the neck of the property holder. His appointees are all good, clean business men, and they have lent every aid to bring about the grand success of Gov. Hodges' administration He advanced ideas of government have made him popular with men of all duties, and at the next election he will poll more Republican votes 1 GOV. GEO. H. HODGES. ha. any Democrat that ever made the race for an office in Kansas. Kansas Democrats are indeed very fortunate in having for their standard bearer a man like Gov. Hodges, and as long as he is in the forefront, he will pilot the party to success. With the rank and file of the colored people of the state, Gov. Hodges has their greatest admiration and respect. When he declared in his message, "Kansas needs no Jim Crow laws, and there will be none while I am governor," inspired their very souls with confidence, and won for him their everlasting gratitude. He kept this promise and has been governor for all alike. No man would dare get up before an audience of Kansas colored people and say that Gov. Hodges is not a friend of the race. He has proven his loyalty to the colored people and they in turn are going to prove their loyalty and gratitude to him. No governor has ever stood in the state house and gave utterance to such expressions. The colored brother has long since learned that a square, fair deal at the hands of a Democrat is far better than a slap on the shoulder and a stab in the back by his "election day" friend—a Republican, hence, the thinking men—those who have the advancement of the race at heart, are willing to cast their lot with that plain, open, outspoken boy from Olathe—Gov. Geo. H. Hodges. In recommending pardons for the unfortunates confined in our penal institutions, the Governor has shown the same consideration for the colored as the white and has been just as liberal with them. This writer has visited all of the institutions of this character in the state, and we note a marked change in the treatment of the blacks confined therein since the Hodges regime. They are treated as are all others confined therein, a thing that cannot be said of past administrations. J. E. BAKER MERCANTILE CO. For twenty-six years the J. E. Baker Mercantile Co., owned and operated by Mr. J. E. Baker has been the stand-by of the citizens of Garden City and vicinity. Mr. Baker is a broad, liberal man and is fair and impartial in all of his dealings. No man who enters this mammoth store is measured by creed, color or religion. All are shown the utmost courtesy and respect, and the colored people of this section show great wisdom in giving Mr. Baker their undivided patronage. He is one of the finest men in Kansas, a diplomat and a shrewd business man. We wish for Mr. Baker continued success and prosperity. He has one of the largest and best stocked stores in the West and enjoys the confidence and respect of all the people. at Leavenworth was placed in good, competent hands when Hon. Thomas W. Morgan, of Ottawa, Franklin county, was made warden. He took the oath of office July 1st, 1913. Mr. Morgan is one of the strongest and most influential men in the West and a leader in the ranks of the Democracy. He owns and operates a powerful newspaper in his home city, was chairman of the Democratic county central committee, and also a member of the state prison board for a number of years, and has made a study of the work now under his charge. The Federal prison is a big place, and Mr. Morgan is a big man—ore who is amply able to cope with every detail of the situation. In company with Hon. B. F. Foster, of Western University, this writer was personally conducted through the institution by Warden Morgan, who took much pride and great pains in explaining every detail. It is the cleanest and best kept institution we have ever visited, and the discipline is unsurpassed. The great dining hall is a marvel. Here, the population of a good sized city sit down all at once and eat their daily meals. The kitchen is as neat and clean as a parlor, and the utmost care is used in preparing the food, and the rules of sanitation are observed to the very letter. Steam is used to cook the meals, but since Mr. Morgan has been in charge, he has installed a large cooking range where meats can be broiled, thus giving the inmates a change of diet. JOHN H. THOMAS W. MORGAN, Warden Federal Prison, Leaven Warden Federal Prison, Leavenworth. The different chapels are interesting indeed. A Hebrew priest conducts services for those of his race and an English speaking priest looks after the followers of his creed while a protestat divine administers unto the believers of his faith. These chapels are a great study, and Warden Morgan says that one would be surprised at the large attendance on these services. At Christmas, the Catholics all hold "high mass" together. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 7, 1913. prived of their liberty, but however, they had broken the law and must be punished. When they are liberated we venture the assertion that they will go forth and live good, clean lives and contribute much to the world's advancement. The tailor shop, shoe shop, carpenter shop, brick yard and numerous other departments are very interesting, and the workmanship of a very high class. In each and every department perfect discipline stands out boldly. It is the aim and purpose of Warden Morgan to make this the finest institution of its kind in the world, and he is the right man with the right method to bring about such a condition. He is humane, kind and sympathetic and does not think because misfortune has overtaken a man that there is no redemption for him or that he does not deserve humane treatment. There is no such blood in Warden Morgan. He is a manly man, and has brought about wonderful improvements in the institution. In the next two years the Federal prison at Leavenworth will be a model for all similar institutions, and many will adopt the "Morgan System." A few of the many good things being carried out by Warden Morgan are: Retrenchment in all unnecessary expenses. Increased results from the farm by fertilizing and intensive cultivation. Cutting out all underbrush and fallen and faulty trees in the wooded lands and converting it into a fine wooded blue grass pasture. Making the discipline of the institution strict and uniform, rather than jerky and uncertain. Taking every possible step for sanitation and cleanliness as well as comfort for the prisoners. Last, and, perhaps the most important of all, pushing the work of construction of the new buildings with utmost dispatch, and finally when the construction is finished, find and develop some useful industry to occupy the time of the men. We have looked personally into this matter and our findings are as noted above. We believe that we speak truthfully when we add that a better or more competent man could not have bee found for the place than Mr. Morgan. Mr. Morgan is a very active man—works from morning till night. As he puts it, there is plenty to do, and he is always up and at it. Both Mr. Foster and the writer feel honored at having been conducted through the institution by the Warde_n peronally, as this usually is done by a guard or other attaches. Mr. Morgan can justly feel proud of his work, and it will ever stand as a lasting monument to his thrift, energy and enterprise. HON. J. A. CABLE of Wyandotte county, newly appointed member of te Utilities Commission, is a strong man, an ardent Democrat and ably fitted for the responsibilities carried with this responsible position. For nearly four years he was a member of the city commission—light and water department in Kansas City, Kansas, where he rendered excellent service, and was elected twice by a large majority. He rssigned to accept the present position with the state. Gov. Hodges looked a long time for a man for this place, and when he decided on Mr. Cable, he showed excellent judgment, care and taste. A better qualified man does not reside in Kansas and Mr. Cable will prove his worth to the people of Kansas in this important place. The things uppermost with him are: To aid and assist all public utilities to give the best possible service and to install the latest safeguards for the protection of life and limb. To prevent over capitalization, watered stock and wild-cat speculation on the part of public utilities and the establishment of fair rates for service. To act in an advisory capacity to cities of the second and third classes in extending and improving their municipal industries, such as water and light plants. To promote the public welfare throughout the state in the matter of public utilities to the fullest extent. HON. P. E. LAUGHLIN, assistant State Bank Commissioner, is a young man who is forging to the front, and is bound to be a leader THE STATE MILITARY ACADEMY BLISH, MIZE & SILLIMAN HARDWARE COMPANY, EXCLUSIVELY WHOLESALE. In the affairs of Kansas. He is president of the Citizens State Bank of Marysville, and has an enviable reputation as a banker and financier. HON. C. J. PETERSON, special assistant in the State Bank Commissioner's office, is a life-long Democrat; one who has always labored for the success of his party. Several years ago he was elected prosecuting attorney of Allen county, and he gave the people the best administration they ever had from that office. He is well qualified for the position he now holds and will do much to make the present administration the best ever given the state by any political party. HON. CHAS. M. SAWYER, State Bank Commissioner, has certainly made good. His administration of the affairs of that office are giving perfect satisfaction, and in selecting him for this important office, Gov. Hodges displayed wisdom and sound judgment. He is a trained banker- M. B. CHARLES M SAWYER, Bank Commissioner of Kunman. thoroughly familiar with every detail of the business and is bound to handle the office in a manner that will make this department of the state's government a model for others. It was mainly through the efforts of Mr. Sawyer that the drought stricken farmers in the wheat belt were supplied with seed wheat, thus relieving them of further hardships. D BLISH, MIZE & SILLIMAN. Atchison, is one of the largest whole sale hardware companies doing business in the West, and through this giant enterprise thousands of dollars that would never see Kansas wend their way to Atchison and once into the hands of this firm means that it will be circulated. This is a firm that stands for progress and every time they can spend a dollar that will boost Atchison and increase the happiness and prosperity of the citizens, they are right in for it. They handle everything in the time of hardwares and enjoy a large business throughout Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. Mr. H. B. Mize, one of the heads of this great concern, is one of the finest men it has been our fortune to meet. He is kind, courteous, polite and a highly polished gentleman—one who has the admiration, respect and confidence of rich, poor, black and white. Congregational Following "In Congregational Church Following "In His Steps!" Their Motto is: "A Man A Be Treated as a Brother" They Talk Actions Are Their Motto is: "A Man Among Men Should Be Treated as a Brother" and They Do as They Talk Actions Are Commendable! THE WATER TOWER THE CAIN MILL CO. Merchant Millers, Atchison, U. S. A., are still doing a flourishing business at the old stand and their business is growing daily, "Cain's No. 1" Flour" is known and used throughout the country. It is the best results that can be obtained from wheat and its superior qualities are recognized by house-wife, baker and hotel chef. The mill is managed by a fine set of splendid business men, and every one of them is a booster. The Cain Mill Co. is doing much for Atchison and the state at large, and the people have lost no time in recognizing this fact. Kansas has never sent a more honest and faithful worker to Congress than Hon. Geo. A. Neeley, of the big Seventh district. He is a power in Washington and never rests upon his arms. He is battling for the people of his district and the state at large. While in Hutchinson one day last week, we called on Congressman Neeley, and in course of conversation we asked him if he was in the race The Congregational church at the corner of Huntoon and Buchanan, is having its winter program, consisting of the finest talent that can be secured within reason, and the opening of the series was with the Disk Jubilee Singers of Nashville, Tenn. This musical aggregation is composed of Prof. J. W. Work and wife, Mrs. C. O. Hadley, Prof J. M. Marquess (engaged, especially for the Topeka engagement), and Mr. Arthur Price, who had to return home on account of the illness of his wife. Prof. Murquess is one of the finest bass singers in the country and the encores were profuse. Prof. Work has one the finest company of singers in this country, if not in the world, and for melody and harmony they have no near equals. Their singing will make anyone forget his troubles and think only of eternal bliss, the angels and the pearly gates and the streets of gold. The audience was large and enthusiastic and those who know good vocal music when they hear it realize the worth of such singing. Let us say right here that this church has the best class of white Christian people in Topeka or anywhere else for that matter. This is Rev. Sheldon's church, whose book, "What Jesus Would Do," is a household treasure, and the members of Rev. Sheldon's church are trying to follow and live up to the doctrine preached in that volume. One of the auxiliaries invited the singers and while in the city these singers were guests of the members of the church and were entertained in some of the best and leading homes of Topeka. This shows that they are following in the footsteps of Jesus. If they were good enough to sing in their church they these good people of the cross-bearing faith consider them good enough for guests. There were about twenty- Price $1.50 Per Year. of True Character! for United States Senator to which he replied, "I am a servant of the people—Congressman from the Seventh district, and I do not know whether the people want me to serve them in that capacity or not, but I assure you, that while I am in Congress, the people of my district and the state at large will get the best there is in me." Many bills involving the rights of the black citizens of this nation have come before Congress and they have been stubbornly opposed by Mr. Neeley, who is a firm believer in equal rights to all and special privileges to none. Mr. Neeley is a big man, representing a big district and a big, grand and glorious state, and his work in Congress has received the people's O. K. Kansas is expecting greater things of Mr. Neeley and in this no one will be disappointed. Democratic success next year depend upon the men who are serving the people, and Mr. Neeley has increased Democracy's stock forty per cent in Kansas. Church "In His Steps!"

We are glad to know that there is in Topeka one congregation of white Christians—a congregation which practices what it teaches and preaches and we doff our at to that loyal band of Christian known as the Congregational church at Huntoon and Burhanan. Prof. Work and his singers returned to Nashville, they having come to Kansas City to sing for the National Council of Congregationality which were in session there. Prof. Work holds a chair at Disk University and is the only colored man on the faculty. They were the guests of the Commercial Club for dinner. ABILENE, KANSAS Mrs. W. L.

Much money is involved in the Canadian fog industry. Since the opening of this season 219 live foxes of various hues including silver gray, valued at $220,000, have been shipped from Edmonton to points in eastern Canada and the United States for breeding purposes. Included in this lot were ten young black foxes which were sold to a New York firm for $30,000. Many young foxes die soon after capture. Several black pups have died after being sold for $1,600 to $2,600. A western raw fur company which has been supplying the eastern markets with young live foxes announces that it will discontinue the eastern shipments, having decided to establish a farm in western Alberta, where 40 foxes are already domiciled. A decrease of 25 to 60 per cent, has taken place in the prices paid for these animals, which is attributed to the large number which have been supplied from the northern country of Alaska Yukon territory, and the northwest territories. The supply has been plentiful because the young foxes were dug out of their holes before they were able to escape. In a short time the young foxes will leave their dams and it will then be impossible to catch them otherwise than singly in traps and the prices will probably rise. --- EMPORIA, KANSAS.

WORDS OF APPRECIATION. Mothers Testify to merits of XXth Century Hair Preparations. Nelson, Mo., April 13, '13. Dear Madam Dabney: I am writing you for a small order. I want you to please send by mail three bottles of your shampoo, three boxes of hair grower and two boxes of preserving oil. I like the remedy just fine. I would not be without it for anything. I am using it on my little girl's hair and it seems to be helping it greatly. MRS. ANNA BRUNER. Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations but none gave me the good results until I used Mme. Dabney's XXth Century Preparations. Their hair was thin, harsh and would fall out so that I dreaded to use a comb. Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out, has no dandruff, is soft and pretty. Three of the girls are attending Wendell Phillips school Howard and Vine streets. Investigation will bear out my testimony. I would not be without the XXth Century Hair Preparations in my house. MRS. DORA HAWKINS, 2455 Woodland. A six week's treatment of Mme. P. M. Dabney's XXth Century Hair Preparations sent on receipt of P.

To the Members of the National Council of Congregational Churches We the Ministers of the Alliance of Methodist churches of the two Kansas Cities representing the Negro race, note with pleasure the Christlike stand that you as representatives of the Christian religion, have taken upon that question of race segregation in the government service, and especially in the railroad mail service, denouncing it as unjust, uncalled for and inhuman, as well as unconstitutional and unchristian. We note also that you called upon President Wilson to use his good office and influence to stamp out and prevent said segregation and to give the Nairoqual chance in the face of life We therefore extend our heartfelt thanks for the interest your Christian body is taking in our race, and assuring you we shall ever be grateful for the same and shall remember you as true representatives of the Kingdom of Heaven for such demonstrations. Not individual members only become great in proportion as they do great things, and truly your church take first place as a great division of God's army in demanding every human right. And now may Grace, Mercy and Truth abide with you all ever more is our prayers. J. R. BANSOM. By orders of the Ministers of the Methodist Churches of Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Mo.

He is tireless in his efforts to build up, and as a result, paid more cash money on the heavy debt that hangs over Saint John than any of his predecessors. We admire Rev. J. T.

Saint John A. M. E. CHURCH. Those missing the services at Saint John Sunday, missed a spiritual and intellectual feast. Rev. Dr. J. E. Edwards delivered a very practical red soul stirring common sense sermon at 11.00 a.m., following which Pastor Brown, assisted by Revs. F. Ivandis and Gay, administered the Lord's Supper to nearly two hundred comminents. The service was made a very impressive one, the more so, we think, from the fact that it immediately followed the seton. The Sunday school and Allen Endavon and Junior Endavon, were led with unusual interest. Miss Gail of West Coast Africa, attic dining the Foreign Missionary Convention at the First M. E. church here, did serve a very instructive address on Africa, to our Allen Endavon at 6:00 p.m. It is so strikingly strange that no party fail to appreciate then real loss to home and personal life by failing to attend service at some church at least once on Sunday. The Ministers' Alliance of the city has arranged for a special day for everybody in Tokyo to attend some church. This day will be the fourth Sunday in November and it is hoped that our people in large numbers will wear the little tags that will be distributed, bearing the motto, "I Will Attend Church on Sunday." Rev, Dr. Edwards after mingling for several days with old friends, left yesterday for Wichita. From thence next week he goes to Texas, where he expects to reside indefinitely. The prayers of his many friends go with him. The program Sunday evening, un- the auspices of the Business League was certainly interesting mouth. Addresses were duly by 1925. Ros alfred, Hon. John M. Wright, Principal Caterer of the Industrial Institute, and Mrs. Cora M. Ray., Mr. Brook sang beautifully, "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," and Saint John choir furnished excellent music. One of the interesting features of the occasion and fi- titual mass to the program was the fifteen minute sermon on, "Business and Religion," by the pastor, Rev. J. M. Brown. Collections for all purpos s during the day reached more than $20,00. Don't forget the musical by class number 12 Wednesday evening. Let other classes arrange for something to help out or our fifth Sunday rally. It was in need of getting to see the files, after a special day, and one at church Sunday. hams and Hendrickson, are still quite all Some are now being seen at church that have not come for years. We are praying that this interest may increase and become permanent. The Tuesday evening prayer a praise service, is still growing in numbers and interest. One of the main topics for prayer now is that success may come to the contemplator to open "Water Meeting" night Saint John's to a complede for her large element of course going you g people, and the cal intermetn manifested by the profess of clas W all this, we not kindly tip our hats to those old vetees, who have and are still coming to the day. Supernate deit W. W. Baldert be one of the largest Sunday school teachers' class in the cather Tupes district, perhaps we might add to the conference. After such an interesting program under auspices of the Business League Sunday evening, every one should manifest greater interest in it, and many should be influenced to see membership. Our former pastor, Rev. J. T. Smith is in the city shaking hands with his many friends, who are always glad to see him. Don't forget the musical to be given Wednesday evening by class number 12. You should influen event field to attend, as the proceeds will go to help out our 10th Sunday rally. We shall be delighted to see you present at one or both services today.

The literary society on Friday evening of last week held a social had been announced as a special feature and a price was announced for the nearest room in attendance, and of course it was in expectancy on the point for the removal of masks, but since the hour of 10:10 arrived and the masked were removed it was a sure enough surprise for the pastor and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. W. W. Russell, for in the number present was Rev. and Mrs. B. R. Ross of the Brow Chapel A. M. E. church, who commanded Rev. and Mrs. Russell to the judges. Mrs. S. P. Malone called the house to order and while she was introducing the chairman of the committee on arrangements, Mrs. C. Murphy, and the attention of the pastor and his wife were diverted to some minor matters of announcements which were never finished, there was a sudden full and then a rush in the nature of a change on the pastor and Mrs. Russell of a crowd bearing baskets and bundles of the good things of this life, and when the "storm" was over the pastor was able to say "I thank you!" but that came from down deep in his heart; but by the time Rev. Russell had had his say Mrs. Russell was somewhat over the stock and ended her thankfulness. Rev. Ross made the principal address of the evening, after which ice cream and cake were served. There were about twenty-five names in the list of contributors, representing almost every part of the city. Church services were well attended last Sunday and Rev. Russell delivered a torrful sermon both in the morning in the evening. The project was "Emigrating." Go to the Health Resort for Her Sodas—Shawnee Drug Store.

That is about what a farmer can do in the handling of manure. Twenty-five cents' worth of acid phosphates added to the stable manure will return 150 cents' worth of crops. The Ohio experiment station has proved it, many farmers have found it to be so, and yet most of us fail to invest the quarter or make the worse mistake of failing to care for the manure at all.—National Stockman and Farmer. FOUR SPUD CROPS A YEAR. Spanlard's Methods May Be Good For Others to Imitate. From Spain comes the report of a Spanlard who grew four crops of potatoes on the same land in twelve months. The potatoes were grown under ordinary conditions, and the ground was fertilized with horse manure. First crop. Scotch seed potatoes, planted Aug. 22 and dug Nov. 6, 1911, fair size, firm and good quality; second crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Nov. 0, 1911, and dug Feb. 10, 1912, fair size and very good quality; third crop. Scotch seed potatoes, planted Feb. 21 and dug May 10, 1912, large size and much better than those of preceding crops; fourth crop. Spanish seed potatoes, planted May 22 and dug Aug. 10, 1912, poor yield and potatoes small. The grower attributes the poor quality of the last crop to inferior seed, lack of water for irrigation and to several hot winds that prevailed in July; but, as in other years, the crop of this same period has been a good one, the low yield of 1012 does not detract from the fenability of the plan.—Rural New Yorker. FOES OF THE ROSEBUD. Get After the Fly and the Slug if You Want to Save Your Flowers. To destroy the green fly, colonies of which congregate on the young growth of the rosebushes and suck the juices of the plant, and other insect pests, we spray the bushes with tobacco dust after wetting them so the dust will adhere. We have also found fresh white hellcobre dusted on the bushes a very good remedy. A slitter can be made by punching the cover of a baking powder can full of small holes and using the can in the same manner as a salt or pepper shaker. The rose slug, a light green worm that eats the leaves, may be controlled by applying whale oil soap, one half pound dissolved in four gallons of water. The rose bug, a hard shell beetle that eats the leaves and blossoms and greatly damages the roses, is best controlled by hand picking or knocking off on a sheet in the early morning. Rosebushes can be kept quite free of insects, however, by liberally and frequently sprinkling with tobacco dust—Rural Life Keep the Calves "Coming." The calves must be kept "coming," whether they suck the cows or are hand fed Skimmilk calves grow strong and thirsty if given a chance. Their milk has to be clean and enough of it. With it they need something to take the place of the cream that is gone. Corn is a good substitute. Oats help also. Ground flaxseed in the milk is fine, but it costs too much these days. For cheapness and results corn and oats crushed together or just plain corn coarsely ground and fed dry are hard to bent. Iowa Homestead. Hand or Power Spraying? Hand spraying is more expensive than power spraying. The cost varies much in different cases, depending on the efficiency of labor, convenience and other essentials, and much depends on the apparatus used. The pump should have capacity to maintain high pressure, and the nozzle must throw a fine spray. The requirements are the same for every kind of spraying--Farm Progress. Handy Trench Cleaner. To a short piece of half round post securely tack on the curved side with single nail a sheet of heavy galvanized iron about fifteen inches long Bore a hole in the block at an angle of about forty five degrees, deep single in a sheet of heavy galvanized iron about fifteen inches long. Bore a hole in the block at an angle of about forty five degrees, deep enough to receive a long handle. This works very satisfactorily.—Parm and Flieside. "GOING TO LAW." A conveyance of land described as running with the meanders of a non navigable stream gives title to the thread of the stream in the absence of a contrary intention shown by the deed—Robinson Versus Wella, Ky. 135 8. W. 317. In selling personal property the general rule is that where no interprese sentations are made by the seller in respect to the quality or condition of the property the purchaser have at his own risk and cannot recover damages on account of defects or unsoundness, but where animals or articles are sold for food the law implies a warranty on the part of the buyer that such provisions are wholesome and it to eat, and the rule of buyers' risk does not apply.

FRENCH, CashJ 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 depreciation on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies: "The average 100 were farm is regarded as having $1,000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and buggies. It is our judgment that the average 100 farm has nearer $1,500 invested. We are confident that the depreciation 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 a 20 per cent depreciation 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 create a first class machine shed. If $100 is not available $50 will erect a shed with built large to house in a very satisfactory manner $1,000, $1,200 worth of machinery. The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed and its use will require some putting up of machinery. "This, however, can be done with no cash outflows and with little outflow 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 1 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. Flour barrels make 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 board, the uprights 6 by 24 inches, and two cross-pieces, top and bottom, 2 by 20 inches. Fasten frame to front of barrel by wire, leaving opening for door. 图 Fasten it so that a slide door eight inches wide can be easily dropped in from the top. This door is made of one half inch mesh cellar window wire, nailed FLOOR BARREL This door is made of coop. one half inch mesh cellular window wire, nailed or stamped to strips of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely ver min proof. Cover barrel with old tin roofing or spouting, so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sign from warping it. Of course a coat of paint will add to its attractiveness, but it is not necessary for practical 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 crows 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. 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 vicious animal who has notice of its vicious character is liable for any injury committed by it and due to its fault. A person who, with knowledge that his agent, in violation of his authority, is purchasing goods for use in the business of his employer, fails to disent will be held to have rattled and adopted the agent's nots.—E. D. Keyes & Co Versa Union Pacific Tea Company (YL), 71 Atlantic 201. If you sell food to a middleman, who sells it to the consumer and the food proves to be diseased to such an extent as to cause disease in the consumer, then you are liable to the consumer for the damage to his health. This is the decision of Judge Noyes in the federal district court in New York. A written contract should be drawn and signed by both the landowner and the reuter when a rental agreement is consummated. This may avoid a misunderstanding and prevent trouble. An oral contract should be an binding on a written agreement, but the oral contract may be forgotten or its stipulations not fully understood.

To the Honorable Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Sir: in as much as the Negro in this country has at all times zealously defended the life and integrity of this Nation and has at no time raised his hand against this government; in as much as he has proven faithful whenever grave responsibility has been entusted to him; and in as much as he continues to shoulder the burden of citizenship with patriotism and enthusiasm; Be it therefore resolved; We, the colored citizens of the two Kansas Cities and members of the Kansas City branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, do earnestly protest against the movement to segregate colored clerks and other workers in the departments at Washington. That; any policy of segregation means humiliation and despair to a race that has proven its worth to share the open door of opportunity and measure strength with any people. That; any policy of segregation will eventually close the doors of many avenues in industry, trade and the professions, which are beyond question, necessary to the material and moral progress of any people. That; to crystallize any such unfair and unchristian attitude by legal enactment or official orders is un-American and democratic, contrary to the principles and ideals upon which this government was founded. That; such a policy is a direct contradiction of the assurance made us by our Chief Executive who "pledged a just, fair and equal treatment of his colored fellow-citizens." And be it further resolved; that toonies of the above be sent to President Wilson and members of his cabinet, the ministers of Kansas City, and to our papers. Respectfully submitted, I. P. BRADLEY, H. O. COOK, Com. FORTY ACRES of good sweet potatoe and watermelon land, locate four miles from Topeka FOR SALI.

Farm and Garden Austrian or Black Pine Has Advantage Over Some Other Trees The Austrian pine, often spoken of as the black pine, is commonly planted throughout the United States east of the Rocky mountains for ornamental and windbreak purposes. Under favorable conditions it will attain a height of sixty or seventy feet, with a diameter of fully two feet at the stump. It is pleasing in appearance, grows erect with a straight, heavy trunk and regular whorls of heavy limbs. The leaves are from site to seven inches long very dark green and retain their greenness throughout the year. In keeping with the general appearance of the tree the foliage is dense and heavy, which makes it one of the very best of the pines for windbreak purposes. It is readily propagated 1 Photograph by Kansas State Agricultural college THIRTY YEAR OLD AUSTRIAN PINES ON KANNA PARK. from seed, but the seedlings are tender and susceptible to several fungous diseases common in nurseries. The seedlings transplant with much difficulty, and there is usually a heavy loss in the first transplanting, but only a small per cent of loss in the subsequent plantings. Only trees that have been transplanted once or twice should be bought for permanent plantings, and these should be from fifteen to twenty inches in height. The Australian pine is generally propagated by all nurserymen handling coniferous stock and can be obtained in any desired numbers. The tree requires special care in the seedling stage. It is impracticable for any except skilled nurserymen to attempt to grow it. Kansas farmer. THE FARMER'S PROBLEM. According to Former Secretary Wilson, every day in the crop growing season is worth $200,000.00 to the farmers of the United States. This wealth, however, represents the work of nature as well as of men. The big problem for the farmer is to so arrange his affairs that he can keep nature working for him all the time. --- For the Asparagus Bed. For the Asparagus Bed. The land for an asparagus bed must be well drained, warm, rich soil and thoroughly worked. For a home patch deep grading may do, but care must be taken to get the manure well mixed with the soil if best results are desired. For larger beds the manure should be turned under with a plow. Deep plowing is advantageous in most cases. The first plowing should be done late in the fall, the second early in the spring Good, strong one year-old roots are the best. A long bed, single row for the home garden, is better and more easily managed than a short bed of a number of rows. The plants should have plenty of space - American Agriculturist. Let Out the Gas. In severe cases of infliuency or wind collic the life of the horse may be saved by prompt tapping for the removal of gas. The trouser and canula used for the purpose are thrust into the most distended part of the right flank, high up near to the rib and at the edge of the feather of hair which runs the apposite way of that on the ribs. In a cow tapping is done on the left side. There is little danger in using the instrument, but it must be sterilized before use, and the wound should be disinfected after removal of the trocar.—Farm Journal It's a Useful Servant. Where a farmer owns a wood lot and burns wood he can make an excellent investment by purchasing a gasoline engine and wood sawing machine. Even a two and one-fourth horsepower engine will do a lot of work, but it is advisable, perhaps, to get a somewhat larger one because the chances are that after a farmer gets an engine he will find other work for it to do.
