evening. He is greatly interested in
the questions covered by the subject of
irrigation, and thinks there is not the
least doubt in the world but that an
artificial lake can-and one day will
be created of the Cheyenne bottoms;
and that such lake will be beneficial
to the territory for fifty miles around
it. AS to irrigation proper. he has
practised it on small scale for several
years. He has just common wind

underground. He takes 3-inch hard
pine batting, nails two pieces together
In shape of a trough, digs bitches one

strips across underneath the trough to
keep it from sinking into the ground,
and then covers up. These troughs,

acts the cold in the water. Mr.. q. F.
Wilkins, of this county, has put in
practise the same method of irrigation
and we should very much like to see
others of the county try the same plan.
1t will require but little expense to
prepare small garden patch il this
manner; and then when yon haye
demonstrated the practical working of
the plan on small scale, you can then
determine whether or not it will pay
to operate on larger scale.

The Coming Wheat Crop.

We have noticed a disposition on the
part of many of our farmers, and also
on the part of those who pretend to
advise them through the agricultural
press, to favor reduction Of the area
in wheat, owing to the present low
prices and the failure of the past year.
We would strongly advise our readers
to put in the usual acreage. because
the past season was disastrous, both in
crops and prices, there is not the slight
est probability that next season will be
the same, and it is certain that large
number of wheat-growers will have be.
come disheartened, so that the acreage
in wheat this fall will he considerably
less than last fall, which of itself ought
to enhance prices. There is a class of
people who always desire to be on the
crest of boom, but unfortunately for
themselves they are usually little be-
hind. When wheat brings high price
they are sure to SOW every acre in
wheat; when corn is favored with
good market all goes to corn; when
millet seed is in demand, they will
raise large acreages of this crop, and
so Oh through the entire list of agri-
cultural products, with the inevitable
result that the large production creates
low prices and their shifting course
proves to be profitless. More far see
ing farmers are not SO affected by the
swinging of the pendulum of failure of
acreage in those crops which they have
found by experience to be suited to the
soil and markets, as result, are pretty
sure to get good, average prices for all
they raise, taking one year with an
other. 1t IS admitted that the failure
of the past year is very disheartening
to those who had placed their trust
and dependence largely on the wheat
crop for their income, but the failure
of the wheat crop does not come more
than once in five or six years, and the
probability is that the seasons will be
favorable for several years to come.
On the other hand, the shortage in
crops of all kinds in Europe the pres
ent season is certain to call for more
American wheat to make up the short
age, which in turn will enhance the
price. Our advice is to put the usual
acreage in winter wheat this fall

OK MONDAY two brother editors of
a neighboring county made us a social
call. They are both at present post
masters of their towns, and. in course
of our talk on the financial situation,
we let them know that we were for the
free coinage of silver. They suggested
that We ought to be more careful
about putting ourseIf on record for free
coinage as, President Cleveland
might not just like the idea of appoint
ing free silver advocate to the posi-
tion of postmaster We want TO reit-
crate our statement to those two repub-
lican p. m's., that we are democrat
for democracy's sake, for the principles
of the party, and for the fulfllment
thereof, and if such democracy may
debar US from the favor of the execu-
tive, we can but deprecate the false
sentiment of those who assume that
preferment should be bought at the
expense of political honor.

Teachers Resolutions.

AT the close of the Barton county
normal on Thursday August 24th, the
following resolutions were offered and
unanimously adopted:
WhereaS-ThrOugh the mercies of
Almighty God we haye been permitted
the privilege of another month of in
stitute work, and
HheredS-The usual success of this
session is largely due to the character
and efforts of our esteemed instructors,
and,
Whe,eas-We recognize the existence
of other circumstances meriting and
deserving our attention and expression;
now, therefore, we, the members of
the Barton county Institute held dur
ing this month OF August 1898, in ses-
sien assembled, beg leave to submit
the following:
RESOLVED we pronounce this
one of the most successful institutes
ever held in our county.
REsoLvED-Thati in Prof. Smith we
recognize the thorough and conscien-
tious scholar who brings to his work a
esy, and an energy, tireless in drawing
upon all the material available, and
who does not forget the individual
members of his classes. We feel his
instruction has been an inspiration, an
incentive to future study; that from
him we have received the priceless
boon of love of investigation and
regard for truth; and furthermore,
that he richly merits a high need of
praise for the unbroken interest lie has
manifested in our institute.
REsOLvED--That during his stay
with US Prof. Webb has made many
dear and lasting friends. We bear no
better witness of him than that his
unbounded popularity amongst our
members is living testimony of his
refined scholarly attainments, affable
disposition, and his untiring efforts in
our behalf
REsoLvED-That in Miss Alice
Reynolds we recognize very pleasing
aud efficient teacher, one who is most
thoroughly qualified for the high posi-
tiOn she holds, and We realize not
only the useful and beneficial instruc-
tion We have received under the direc-
tion of one SO highly esteemed and
appreciated will be of untold assistance
to US in our future work, but that the
cause of education has received new
impetus from the introduction of the
kindergarten work through the labors
of one so wonderfully adapted.
REsOLvED-That to our indefati-
gable superintendent, Mr.. f. G.
Mckinney, we express gratitude for
his selection of instructors, and careful
attention to the best interest of the ses-
sion. In his addition of primary work
and that of the kindergarten to the
regular course we see invaluable aid,
full of suggestions for the better
equipment Of the work of the county.
We regret his illness which deprived
him of witnessing the successful exc
cution of his plans. We believe the
educational interest of Barton county
in safe hands.
RESOLVED-That Miss Nellie Nc
Kinney deserves credit for her per-
Torrance of the duties falling upon
her through the illness of her brother.
REsoLYED.-Th we tender our
cordial testimony of the helpful inter-
est manifested by the citizens of Great
Bend and more especially do we return
an expression of the freedom of their
homes for our social gatherings.
RESoLyED-That this institute is
| indebted to MIR. E. r. Moses and Mr..

From the Advocate we learn that a
rumor was rife in the town of EIlon-
wood, Saturday last, that an attempt
would be made to rob one of the
banks. Three suspicious looking men
were seen on the streets, aud the citi-
zens were prepared to give them a
warm reception should they atttmpt
any crooked business. The east bound
Santa Fe express was also telegraphed
at Larned that an attempt to rob il
would likely be made at Dartmouth
siding that night. The train men
were also well prepared to meet all
callers.

F. V. Russell for their instructive and
entertaining talks, and
REsOLvED-That copy Of these
resolutions be sent to each paper Of
this city and to the Western School
Journal for publication.

REPUBLICANS are loudest in denun-
populists. because as they say. sit will
disrupt the democratic party" Strange
what love they have for the ''demo-
cratic party 1t is wonder, if they
love our party so much, that they have
not been voting with it all these years.
All this talk of ''disrupting the party
you may put in your eye. Republicans
by thus uniting the opposition will
sweep them out of-power.

A HIGHLY respectable young lady of
St. Louis has just kissed young man
who was an entire stranger to her. In
justice to the young lady it indeed
must be said that there were extern
uating circumstances. The kissing
was done under conditions of intense
emotion. The young lady was out
driving with her father, who left the
vehicle for moment, to enter store.
During his absence the horse ran away
and the strange young man gallantly
rushed out into the street and stopped
it, rescuing the terrified young lady
from various dangerous possibilities.
She rewarded him by kissing him at
once, on the spOt-the right spot.
Large numbers of st. Louis young men
now stand around the corners every
day waiting for some young lady's
horse to run away.-Cimarron Jack

WOULD it not be an inducement to
many farmers throughout western
Kansas to throw up dams and create
lakes and ponds should the state legis-
lature pass law exempting from tax
alton 40 acres of every quarter section
whereoE was maintained pond or
lake of certain dimensions? And with
a pond of standing water on every
farm IN the section of country visited
by hot winds how much damage could
such winds do? Think about these
questions. They are being discussed
now by many men whose interests have
been aroused by the irrigation conyen-
tions. Talk about them to your
neighbors. and do your share towards
Awakening public thought to such an
extent that the plans may be- put to
practical use. God made an awful
good country of western Kansas; let us
use all the elements he has provided
for its improvement.

WHO is the Hutchinson News cor
respondent from Ellinwood? Last
year Capt. Hilligoss" gave the News
accurately information as to what the
democrats Of Lakin were going to do,
you remember. Is the facetious cap
tam getting gay again? Here is what
the News of the 2Sth SAYS:
ELLINwOOD, Kansas, Aug. Is
Especial The democrats of this town
and community, and many others in
Barton county who were kicked out of
the convention at Great Bend about
two weeks ago, will not cali conven-
ton, but propose to play strong non
fusion and anti-alliance hand next
November by voting the straight
republican ticket. They say they do
not want, and will not have, any more
monkey and parrot business in theirs;
and rather than assist in or be party to
the election CT populists for county
officers, they will help to replace the
present incumbents, who have given
good satisfaction during their terms.
