In 1912 a Russian farmer named
Bokareff conceived the idea of extract
ing oil from the seed of the snnfiower'
His neighbors told him it was a Wis
ionary idea and that he would have
his labor for his pains. He persevered,
however, and from that humble begin
ming the industry has expanded to
enormous proportions. Today more
than seven million acres of land IN
Russia are devoted to the cultivation
Of the sunflower. Two kinds of sun
flowers are grown, one with small
seeds, which are crushed for oil, and
the other with large seeds that are
consumed by the common people in
enormous quantities, very much as
people eat peanuts in the United States
This matter Is worth looking into by
the people of the sunhower state oil
Kansas. Thousands Of dollars worth
of sInAower seed are now going to
waste In onr state.

KANSAS LEADS.

Kansas averaged over seventeen
bushels to the acre in her wheat yield
this year. The next best average
hardly exceeded fifteen, while the
average for the entire country is thir-
teen bushels.
Already the country has learned
that Kansas had the largest quantity
aud the best quality of wheat ever
raised IN the state. When to this fact
is added an average in excess of all
other states, except Washington, bnsi-
ness men will turn with renewed faith
to Kansas investments.
The government report increases the
total Weld beyond expectations. 1t Is
fixed at 520,0O0,OOO bushels, of which
Kansas alone has produced quite one
seventh. Prices fell somewhat on the
"curb" in the face of this unexpected
increase, but Kansas cannot be held
responsible for the price. She fur
nishes the greatest quantity and the
finest quality and sometime during
the coming year her good wheat will
be needed.
While Washington had trifle better
average yield her acreage is so COM
paratively small that she cannot claim
to contest the honor with Kansas.
Stand up for Kansas.

Short Creek Republican: II any
one can give a good reason why W.
B. Stone should not be elected TO the
state senate we would like to hear 1t.
True we may find men who have per-
sonal grievances, real or imaginary,
who will not support him on these
grounds, but sober, second thought
should convince them of the lack Of
wisdom of seeking redress by with
holding their support, when by SO
doing they 'cut off their nose to spite
their face" The nomination came to
him unsought He consented to make
the race only when repeatedly assured
that the interests of the county de-
manded it of him. No man, with
knowledge of the situation, will deny
the fact that to be elected to the senate
or house means a positive sacrifice up
on the part of any man who is engaged
in business that requires his attention.
Hence we say if the element who OPP
pose him on personal grounds should
be strong enough to defeat him, their
revenge would lose its sweetness by
reason of the facts above stated. 1t
would be revenge dearly purchased
for the reason that il takes our legisla-
tive interests out of the hands OF a
competent, able representative, whose
interests are our interests in every
particular; one whom we can rely ON
to carefully look after those matters
which directly affect us, and places
them under the guardianship of one
who has nothing in common with us
aud who has never demonstrated by a
single act his ability TO meet the issues
that lie nearest to the hearts Of all who
feel An interest in the advancement
aud upbuiIding Of our country. 1t
would indeed be revenge with ven
gcance to let personalities enter into a
matter of such serious importance as
il the selection of u state senator this
year, and we don't believe there is
man in the county who will do 1t after
he has seriously considered the matter

ALTHOUGH three weeks have now
elapsed since the congressional COM
mittee of this district, at their Paola
meeting, fixed the time and place of
holding our convention, still no
official announcement of the call
has reached us. Will Mr.. Latimer,
the secretary, rise and explain? 1t
looks little suspicious since the
secretary was very much opposed
to the committees calling any con-
vention, even going. so far as to
have motion to that effect before
the committee, and frantically ell
deavored to shut out the writer of
this, who fought down the brazen
attempt. We have good informa-
ton that Democratic scheme is on
foot to cancel the committee work
at Paola, and change the date of
the Garrett meeting. 1t is in order
for Mr.. Latimer to explain his con-
duct and send along that call.-Ot-
tawa Journal.

wants fusion so badly that he can

LEADING OPINIONS ON SILVER.

While some Of our weak kneeC
newspapers are piping their lit l.
lay against doing anything for silver
in Nevada let us see what some d
are leading men say on the subject
Senator Stewart does not advise
calling a halt on the silver Issue for
fear it may injure some sarty. He
says:
''The fight on silver is not over.
1t IS stronger to-day among the
people than any other time since the
agitation commenced. 1t is a very
difficult job, and it takes time 10
educate the PEOPLE to understand
how they are robbed by the nanip-
ulators OF money. But they are now
beginlng to under stand it, and they
will destroy the politicians at least
who serve the gold trust. 1t is
quite possible that the gold party
will nominate Cleveland and Har-
rison. Neither of them will be NOM
mated by any other party; and al
though the majority of the Chicago
and Minneapolis Conventions may
declare them the nominee, the work
of the conventions will. be done by
the gold ring.
For the benefit of enemies of the
silver leagues in the western part o
the State we invite their attention
to what our Representative, Con-
gresham Bartine has to say on free
coinage:
eff We want relief the way to get
it is to act, not stand shivering
and tremble like a boy about to
plunge into an ice-cold bath.
Francis Newlands, the Gazettes
candidate for Congress, says:
"our President in his message said
that he knew no more effsctual way
of promoting favorable sentiment
to silver in Europe than by accumu-
lating gold here. In other words,
we are to distress Europe by borrow
ing more gold from her. One is at
loss to understand how debtor can
get creditor under his control by
borrowing more money from him. y

man says: Sink or swim, live or
die, survive or perish, Nevada must

HARRISON UNEASY.

The great strength developed by
the silver movement in the East as
well as the West, has caused the
President to put on his thinking
cap.
After cogitating on the situation
awhile he has reached the conclusion
that the silver agitation ali over the
country means business, and that in
order to win he must staye it off
until after election or else come out
for free coinage. This he cannot do,
as it would not be keeping the Wall
street contract, so he has fixed up
the idea of an international Silver
conference.
This sounds quite large on paper,
but as matter of fact it don't
amount to anything as far as silver is
concerned, and ought to be called,
international Gold Bug Pow Wow
1t is merely intended to smother the
silver agitation until after election.
When a hayseed voter who hasn't
read the papers is about to join the
silver movement, the agent of the
New York gold ring viii opproach
him and say:
No use of silver movement,
hasn't Harrison called an interna-
tional conference! That will settle
the silver question. Don't We see it
WHIP
The deluded voter walks away,
full of the idea that silver will be all
right after that conference adjourns,
but after election the status of silver
will be just where it was before--in
the dumps. Let no one b. deeeiv ed
by this transparent political dodge
