So many Americans went to Europ

State Senator Milt Brown of Finney
county says the average age of the
convicts in the Kansas penitentiary
is Sc years, and that three-fourths Of
the convicts are under rs years, and

in the output of the prison coal mine.

George A1ger says that a farmer near
Olathe found a stock of corn with four
perfect ears on it, and marked it with
his walking stick. He told his family
about it, and they all went out to in
spect this evidence of the fertility Of
johnson county soil. They easily
found the place and to their great as
constituent saw that in the meantime
an ear of corn had grown on the walk
ing stick.
Judging from the story told by
Hank Crane of Wamego, his corn
field must be a strange looking sight.
He says the ears have become so heavy
that they '1opped" over and stand on
end. In this position they have con-
tinued to grow and have lifted the
stalks out of the ground. The roots
stand about five feet from the ground
and a beautiful shady park is thus
formed.
Six or eight years ago, Governor
son who is now in Harvard,
went to a creek near Hiawatha, and
caught dozen or more small fish.
They were too small to eat, so he pre-
served them alive and threw them
into a pasture pond on the home place.
Little attention was paid to them, un-
til a few weeks ago the governor had
the pond seined and found several
fish. Some were large enough
to eat. He put them back into the
water and the pond has been q regular
source of supply for the table ever /,
since.
Kansas with her fixed property is
valued at S160, DOC, OOO That is not a
good showing as compared with other
and much smaller states. New Jerseys
valuation is S70e, 51s,361. Wisconsin
shows list reaching I, 466, 303, 1856, and
Indiana reaches s727, s15, 131, while |
Illinois shows a total valuation of
s7s6, GIG, 1874. This proves again, the
of the present system Of
listing property in this state at one
third its value. Kansas is at q disad-
before the world, a. compared
to other states. At her true figures
she would stand out at a valuation of
s42s, 675, OCT, and would then show q
fair comparison with other more pre-
tentious but no better states.
The hosp,table people OF Atchison
have invited the country roundabout
to attend q corn carnival September
20. It is Ed Howe's inspiration, but
the other papers have joined him in
booming it, and the town committee
of safety has taken hold of it. The
people talk of little else, and are max
ing great preparations to entertain
