Cheap Metropolitan Papers.

There is no excuse nowadays for a
citizen falling to subscribe for a great
metropolitan newspaper In addition
to taking his own county paper. The
"Twice-aWeek" Republic Of St. Louis.
which is credited with the largest
circulation Of any weekly paper, is
only 81 a year, and for this sum it
sends two papers a week,or lO4 papers
q year-less than one cent each. The
weekly contains the best and bright.

paper, together with o we'll assorted
collection of reading matter and use.
tul information. A popular feature
OF its columns next year will be the
peeches of prominent men in the
presidential campaign. These will be
given almost in full. A reader of the
"TWice-a-Week" Republic will always
be abreast of the times, for no paper
has greater news gathering facilities.
The Daily and Sunday Republic
can now be had by mail for a little
more than one cent and half day,

Though this paper has greatly re-
.duced its price, it has increased its

Pleasure and Profit.

The value Of the poultry produced
annually in the United States exceeds
100000, which is 20 per cent greater
than the value Of the wheat product,
or in two years is equal to our ma
tiOnal debt. The poultry industry of
Missouri ranks with her most import
ant branches Of live stock in value of

hOme-maker's best friend, in prOvid-
ing many OF the luxuries that make
life worth living" but often in
emergencies has yielded the revenue
necessary to pay taxes. etc. In the
past this industry, the importance of
which the late census well proves,
has been considered of little moment.
and has played its important part in
our domestic economy without en-

The county commissioners were in
session Saturday morning., all members
present. ]. E. Carr of Argonia, who
was cited to appear to be examined
somewhat concerning his personal
property statement, did not show up
in person, but appeared by his attOr-
ney, A. E. Parker, who showed the
board that, according to the statutes,
a five days notice should be given,and
that his client had only been given
four days notice. He promised the
board, however, that if they would
set a day he would see that Mr.. Carr
appeared. The board then set the
case for next Saturday, the 18th.
Ten years ago Kansas had Just
such winter as this has been up to
the present time. The boom was on
then and every newspaper from Atch-
ison to Coolidge was harping on our
Italian climate. On the night Of the
7th Of January the worst blizzard
set in that ever struck this country.
1t lasted three days and piled up the
snow in unsightly heaps. Cattle on
the western plains drifted up against
wire fences and persisted in great
numbers. Fifty or one hundred peo-
pie froze to death on the western
prairies. Railroad trains were just
eight days getting through to the
west line Of the state. With this
sort OF history so fresh in our minds
let US not be too frank in extolling our
climatic virtues.

effect upon its spreading. Mrs. Castle

prisonment for three months without
hard labor. The effect on her health
seems improbable, for l gather she has
been travelling in Europe, and except for
the matter OF stealing, her health was
the same as anybody's else. Probably
the regret for what she has done, and
what has come TO her for doing 1t, will
weigh on her spirits, but this is precisely
the state that imprisonment is intended
to produce on prisoner.

they would suffer in health by confine-

signed a petition to the home secretary
to shorten their sentences. What mat

The st. Louis Republic says that If it
were possible to bore a hole foot or
more in diameter entirely through the
earth and then to start an 100. pound ball
to falling through this 5000 miles Of hole
the ball would stop just half way.
Weight in this case is the measure OF at
traction Of gravitation, or, in other words.
it lie the measure of force with which q
body is attracted to the earth. This at.
tractive force decreases both ways from
the earth's surface. Therefore, IL ball
should be started on the tour through tn Q
earth, it's weight would decrease to GER
tain extent with every yard OF its fight,
flight Cor falD, until finally upon reach
ing the center OF the earth, it would have
no weight whatever. This curious state
of affairs would be brought shout by the
gradual lessening OF the force of attrac-
ton or grayitation, until the center OF the
globe is reached, at which point the ball
would be held in suspension, as though
fixed by numerous magnetic points. 10
other words. at the center of the earth
the phenomenon of weight is entirely
wanting.
