MIKE 1T THE BEST.

Our fifth Institute, and probably thu
last one of the year, will be held at Wa
Keeney, Trego county, on the 25th anG
26th of this month. The irrepressible
mot impossible, as the printers made us
say last week. Col. Tilton, of the WORLD
is working the matter up with character.
istic energy State Ag. College In.
dnSfyialiSt.
AS this is to be the last institute of the
year, let us see that it is the best.
To accomplish this, it is necessary to
act with enthusiasm. Those interested
should be ready to assist, even to the
point of bringing their neighbors along.
Indeed, the fact is that those who are like
ly to take the least interest in educational
work of any kind are apt to be the very
ones who are the most in need of its
teachings.

ANOTHER RAILROAD,

The charter of the Nebraska, Garden
City and Southwestern railroad has been
filed with the secretary of state. This
road will enter Kansas on the north in
Smith county and thence through the
counties of Graham, Cove, Trego, Lane
Scott, Finney and Seward to the south
line of the state. The total length of the
road will be about 400 miles, and the
capital stock is 100000.
This, practically, at least, is the realiza.
tion Of getting as far along as the charter
Of the Red Cloud and Wa-Keeney road
Work can not begun too soon to please
the WORLD. We are going to leave nc
stone unturned to assist in making

GOT SOMETHING BETTER.

| If the Herald is not what Horace
Greeley used to term gassy, over twenty
buildings are being erected in Scott City
| i WA-KEENEY WORLD.
We are sorry, Bro. Tilton, that you are
unable to comprehend what real live
booming Kansas town is, and that you
should cast a reflection on the Herald as
being "gassy," for so small statement
as that. It looks to ga man up tree" as
though Wa-Keeney had never had a
boom, you know. Come down to Scott
/ City and see the thirty or forty new
buildings being erected now, and you
will henceforth have implicit belief in
statements made by the Herald.-l Scott
City Herald,
Why, bless your life, the WORLD has
been with Wa-Keeney through one swim
of a boom.
Just step around the corner with us
out of the glare of the electric light and
big crowd till we poke flea into your
ear. Now, Sonny, booms are all right in
their way. They are in their proper way
only as the first echoes of the civilization
whose approaching steps are laundering
just at the rear. When Wa-Keeney had
her big boom the advance of the west
ward bound hosts entered. It was not
one year until they branded themselves
an army of aliens, and took up in the
direction of their wives people one of the
sorriest marches known to history. We
are not predicting this fate for the east
ern army which is marching into Scott
county, understand. We are simply tell
ing something we happen to know
about booms. Wa-Keeney to-day is
growing. Dozens of costly new houses
are being built, mostly by people who
felt unable to march back east with the
army of aliens on the collapse of the
boom. Wa-Keeney will not boom, in the
general acceptation of the term-not go
crazy, that is; she will grow with exceed
ing prosperity. Wa-Keeney will not
build to tear down and desert; she will
build for an enduring city of surprising
commercial Importance. Wa-Keeney
will not be filed with fearful separations
of kindred and friends; she will have
this agony reduced to minimum, as the
legitimate result of her sure growth.
Wa-Keeney will never want for schools,
churches and the numerous other social
organizations which go to make up the
most pleasant and prosperous of COM
munities; she has -rowth based on too
enduring foundation for this.
In fact, Wa-Keeney is, according to the
phrase stamped for such cases, behind
the country; she has something better
than BOOM

The Lister for COrn-Planting.
Kansas Farmer.

Opinions vary as to whether the lister
is worth saving as an aid in planting
corn. At the Pleasanton Farmers In.
stitute, the opinion was against the lister
Brown county farmers speak well of it.
Nh. Mellenbruch, of that county, in q
paper on contrasting before the Hia-
watha Farmers Institute spoke of the
lister as an implement in common use
and approved, and there was no objec-
ton reported. His address was publish
ed last week in the Farmer. He has sew
eral times, in communications to this
paper, recommended the use of the lister
under favorable circumstances.
We have just been reading a letter
written by Jewell county farmer, P. r.
HoffeL on the subject. He says he OPP
posed the lister for several years, while
his neighbors who used it were raising
more corn to the acre than he did. Last
year he tried it himself, and now comes
out in the Jewell county Republican and
gives the facts and figures that convinced
him. He says he plowed ground for
check-rower from April 9th to May LIST.
Planted one-half April Oath and the re-
mainder May LIST. Did not get good
stand on account of numerous heavy,
cold rains, covering many hills too deep
to break through the crust formed on
top. The planting of May LIST yielded
five bushels more per acre than that
planted April oath. The average yield
was forty bushels sound corn and five
bushels mouldy per acre. The mouldy
paid for gathering the same. Listed
May 9th to 18th, which no doubt was
a better time to plant than April Oath or
May LIST. Got good stand on about
nine-tenths of piece, the rest was entirely
drowned out by heavy rains. The
average yield was fifty bushels of sound
corn and one bushel mouldy per acre.
The cost per acre of each kind is as fol-
lows; One acre check-rowed: ground
rent $1.50, cutting stalks 40 cents, plow-
ing $l.25, planting 25 cents, seed 5 cents,
twice narrowing at 20 cents equals 40
cents, four civilizations at 40 cents equals
$1.6O, cutting weeds cents, husking and
cribbing forty bushels at 3 cents equals
$l.20. Total cost per acre 1912 or 1877
cents per bushel. One acre listed:

HANBACK, ON HANBACK,.

Space was given in the WORLD of last
week to the letter from Congressman
Hanback, to the editor of the Beloit
Courier.
In that letter there is nothing which
appeals even to our sympathy. We have
not been making a fight against Mr.
Hanback, on the ground of drunkenness.
What, however, we ask, does it signify
if Mr.. Hanback, was not drunk just then ?
Has he not deceived basely, in word, in
deed and in lack of public work, the men
who gave him the most valiant assistance
for the nomination for congress two
years ago? We speak as one who knows
what he is talking about-as one who
has plenty of friends who will not ques-
ton his word-when we say that Mr.
Hanback,, by reason of various infirmities
OF a grave character, is unfit for the po-
sition which he is now pretending to fill.
What better evidence does any person
want of this being true than Mr. Han
backs attempt to create ride-back-into-
office wave for himself by attending to
this telephone business to the neglect of
any important work of direct benefit to
his immediate constituents?
Personally, we like Mr.. Hanback,.
Were we not warranted by documents in
our possession, as well as by other
knowledge of personal nature, in say
ing all that we have here said, and much
more, we would be his friend. But we
know that our people, as far as they know
him even passably well, do not want him
to represent them in congress after the
expiration of his present term. A repre-
sentative should be at least as good as the
bulk Of bis constituents. Here is the
real rub in this case.
His letter to Col Caldwell is clearly an
effort to cry himself back into the public
favor which is plainly deserving him.

ADVICE TO NEW SETTLERS.

If you have little money and intend
to ''stick," build you good sod or stone
house partly in the bank and plaster il
with native lime SO as to make it com.
Portable, and buy all the young cattle
you can. Keep your credit good for q
rainy day.
II you have more money than you need
for years living, build you a comfort
able house and stable, get you a good
team to improve your place, and buy
what cattle you can. Do not depend on
farming for living, for crops may fail.
We know by experience that they do fail
sometimes. Do not depend on your cat
tie for aliving if you have less than fifty
head. But take in every days work you
can with Your team or otherwise.
Whether you have little or much
money, never put over ope-tenth into a
house, for you can use it to q better ad-
vantage. Remember that you must live
here year without crop to sell. So
save your money and keep your credit
good GRATIS.
The above correspondence appears in
the Grinnell Golden Belt of last week.
1t is as clearly the work of brain which
has been through the hard times out
here as the Declaration of American In
dependence is of man who has expert
enced the crying need Of pronuncia-
mento of that character.
Gratis feels himself q friend of the
new settlers. He knows what he AYERS to
be the complete truth; yet we fear there
are new settlers in this region who will
treat with scorn such advice. If there
are such, and those dependent on them
for support were not compelled to suffer
In consequence, the WORLD would be
pleased to see them walk out of the
country. This is no place for them.
As very general rule. the old settlers
are agreed that this region should be
peopled with as large population as can
depend on stock farming for the basis of
support. No people appreciate more
titan ours the necessity of schools,
churches and the other concomitants of
civilization Of the highest type. This
afact Is an unanswerabie reason for their
anxiety In this civilization being founded
ON the surest possible industrial basis.
The old settlers, with possibly a few
exceptions, are the truest friends of the
new settlers

flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness
in the fear of God. Be not deceived,
God is not Knocked; for whatsoever
man soweth that shall he also
reap. Then, dearly beloved, let US
not weary in well doing. for in due
season we shall reap if we faint
not; and whatsoever we ask we
receive of Him, because we keep
his commandments, and do those
things that are we'll pleasing in
his sight. And if we know that ne
hears us, whatsoever we ask, let
US bring the petitions we desire
of Him.
Then, if any man see his
brother sin a sin which is not unto
death, he shall ask, and God shall
give him life, for God delighteth
not in the death of any sinner.
For God SO loved the world that he
gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should
not perish but have everlasting
life; and he says: AS the Father
hath loved me so have [ loved you !;
continue ye in my love. Greater
love hath no man than this, that a
man lay down his life for his
friend. Ye are my friends if ye do
whatsoever I command you. Final
ly, brethren, whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure, what
soever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report-these
were in Him and abounded.
The tears which He shed, the
sufferings which He endured, the
kindness which He showed to the
afflicted, tempted and tried, were
evidences of the kindness of his
mission to men ruined by sin,
and of his readiness to save all
who would submit to his easy
and reasonable terms,
Let US, then, in our Temperance
work, take Christ for our example,
consecrating our lives to Him and
his service, ever remembering if
we ask whatsoever we will, in faith,
it shall be given us, and say, "Thy
servants are ready to do whatsoever
my Lord the King shall appoint"
