PUT YOUR SHOULDER TO THE
WHEEL.

Every man, woman and child,
should be vital force, and of value
to the community in which they live.
There should be neither drones, loaf
ers or kickers, to use an inelegant
terml. 1t is not broad acres, bonds
and stock that make your personal
rating in the bee hive of industry.
You may have all those and be prac-
tically dead for usefulness. You
may have them ,andsby your useless
ness, strangle and throttle business
and enterprise, or you may use and
nurse them as a dyspeptic does his
hallucinations-fearful lest impend-
ing evil be ever present and ever
threatening disaster. You want to
get out of this. You want a person
al value of acknowledged strength
and usefulness Ifthe wagon sticks,
OF what use are you, II you simply
stand off and look at few, strug-
Cling to make it 60, while you are
partly praying that it may not 60,
and hoping If it does go, that you
may just be in time to jump on and
get lift along the road ? The right
way to do is to put your own Shout
der to the wheel and help make it
go. just now, our town needs en-
terprising, effective people. Capt.
tahsts, business men, working peo-
pie, women and children are all in
terested and should not fail for q
moment to give practical, real and
substantial encouragement to every
movement. If we all go to work
with q will, we are sure to win.

Is Governor Wilson Knocked
Out?

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. 81
The House Committee on Education
was in session to day on the Indiana
school book bill, trying 20 accomo-
date it to West Virginia to take the
place of the present laws. The mat
ter was referred to a subcommittee.
This particular measure seems to
have somewhat impaired the solidity
of the Committee, which, up to this
point, has fallen in with Governor
Wilson's ideas on the school book
question. Mr.. Hawkins, representa-
tive of the Indiana idea, has gone
home.

THE VALUE OF RAILROADS.

To show the value of railroads to
the State, by way of increasing its
wealth, we note, that recently the
State Treasurer received over $780,
900 from the Chesapeake and Ohio,
the Parkersburg branch of the Bal
timore and Ohio paid in $4,000 and
the Norfolk and Western 81 900.
To this will be added the taxes OF
the Ohio River Railroad, the Kama
wha and Ohio, the main stem of the
B. & o. and its branches, the West
Virginia Central, and the Cumber-
land Valley Railroad. Thus the
taxpayers are materially assisted in
the matter of State finances. To all
this, must be added the thousands of
persons employed by them, as we'll
as the numerous families thereby
provided with a livelihood, citizens
and taxpayers of, and spending their
money within the State. After all,
the railroads are blessings, snd should
be encouraged in every legitimate
way.

The famous case which eliminated IN
the hanging Of five anarchists at Chicago
is to be taken before the United States
supreme court for review. Lawyer Salo
mon, of Chicago, has been working to
get Neebe, Fielder and Schwab out OF
tine penitentiary. The two last named
are in for life and Neebc on fifteen year
sentence. For months Solomon has been
working TO secure an amendment TO the
record to show that the prisoners were
not present in tue state supreme court
when the judgment OF the lower court
was infected and the death penalty was
affirmed.
When lawyer Solomon returned 10 Chi
cago last Friday night he carried with
him an order from the chief justice of the
supreme court granting writ of error
from the United States supreme court TO
supreme court of Illinois, for the purpose
of allowing the case to again go before
the court for review. Salomon's conten-
ton is that the prisoners were deprived
of a constitutional right by not being
permitted to be present when the court
passed sentence upon them. The court
has refused to allow an amendment Of
the record, but not beng satisfied appar-
emily that federal question is not in
volved. it has consented to the federal
court finally determining the matter.
The case will come up for hearing some
time in October

Kansas immigration.

The Kansas immigration Bureau is or
ganizing system of advertising the
state on grand scale. From the TOpe-
ka Capital we take the following outline
of the advertising matter:
THE executive board will have Kan
sas book published, giving an accurate
description of every county in the state
with a sketch of resources, population
and progress. Twenty-Five pages OF
this book will be devoted to the state at
large and will contain good map of
Kansas. The secretary, Mr.. Hale Cow
ley, announces that the first edition of
the book will comprise one or two mill
lion copies and he urges the county di-
rectors of the bureau to make as much
haste as possible in preparing their coun-
ty statements in order that by February
90 I'VE will be sending over the world a
book that Kansas will be proud of and
one that will he read and preserved with
more interest and different motive than
any book ever mailed for this purpose.

Cotton Planting m Kansas.

A Topeka telegram to the Globe Demo
crat says: Efforts are making to increase
and encourage the planting of cotton in
this state. The experiment has been
tried on small scale, and in several OF
the southern counties cotton has been
profitably grown. There are cotton gins
in operation in Montgomery and Chautau-
qua counties. State Senator d. W. Nc
Taggart. who has been engaged in farm
ing near Cherryvale many years, has just
received returns from three bales of cot
ton grown on his farm. The three bales
sold on the ST.. Louis market for 1924 net
and were classed as high grade This
represented rental of nearly s16 per acre
for his land, which is more than either
of the staple cereal crops would yield at
anything like present prices, being equi
vulent to forty seven acres of corn. Cot
ton has raised in Cowley county the past
year, realizingS4S per acre on ground that
would not have produced over forty bush
els of corn and the cost of raising cotton
does not greatly exceed that of raising
corn. While only dozen farmers engag
ed in the industry in that county this
year, fully zoo will go into it in $780, the
seed being furnished free when five or
more acres are planted.
