Crop Prospects Good.

Geo. W. Watson, of Kinsley, writes
to Secretary Coburn, and from the
letter we extract the following:
taking all things into considers
ton consider the crop prospects the
best at this time of year that l have
ever seen since I came to western
Kansas. The farmers as general
thing have their oats ground all pre-
pared and in good shape, and a few Of
them had commenced sowing, but of
course the snow will hold them back
another week at least, and then oats
sowing will be in full blast. There
will be a large increase in the acreage
of alfalfa in this part Of the country
and I intend to put in two thousand
acres. Most of the alfalfa we put out
will be on new sod, and practically all
on river bottom, except some of the
high land that I had SUBSIDIZED to the
depth of eighteen inches and intend
to SOW sixty or eighty acres as a test.
Last year I SUBSIDIZED sixteen acres
where it is ninety feet to water and
did not SOW the alfalfa until late in
May, but it made root growth of
nearly three feet" Mr.. Watson was
the pioneer in subsoiling in that sec
ton of the state but it has since spread
all over the country and all the farm
ers are advocating it for all kinds of
crops. He has SUBSIDIZED sixty acres
upon which he will SOW oats this year
as an experiment.
In speaking Of irrigation Mr.. Wat
son tells how he constructed cheap,
but successful plant. He says: II
have built one of the sail mills, six
teen feet in diameter, hired every bit
of the work done and brought all of
the material, and the mill cost me
just twenty dollars. I am going to
put the mill in the valley and attach
two eight inch pumps. If it will net
run both, I will operate one. The
mill, pumps and equipments will not
cost to exceed eighty dollars"

gold received is at the rate OF only
a, OS5. 376 a year, or about S per cent
of the aggregate receipts. An in
terestiog feature of the returns also is
the comparison it makes possible be-
tween the amount of gold used IN
circulation in different parts of the
country. Thus, while 80 per cent of
the receipts of California postofices
are in gold, 1928 per cent in Utah, GO
per cent in Nevada, SO per cent in
Washington, and 1856 in Oregon, in
New York the percentage of gold in
the receipts is O.9 per cent, in Mass

in Vermont 1.3 per cent.

aimed blow at every joint in the
state of Kansas today.
He introduced bill "to prohibit

The SsChristian Crusade"

The "Christian Crusade" is the
name suggested by Ballington Booth
for the new evangelical movement
which the former commander of the
Salvation Army has pledged himself
to lead. The nucleus of the proposed
Crusade" is the little band of Long
Islanders, the Sea Cliff corps, who
deserted in body, following their
officer, Captain Mimons, and on the
Sd, sent a telegram to the Booths at
Montclair, announcing themselves as
can Independent religious body" and
inviting their former leader to assume
command. Ballington Booth at once
telephoned an acceptance, sent a for
mer Salvationist, Captain Seake. to
take charge, and straightway the
career of the infant organization be-
gan with the hiring of hall, the one
selected being the former barracks of
the defunct Salvation Army. Sea
Cliff corps. It is said that Balling-
ton Booth will at once establish q
paper in opposition to the famous
War Cry, and that it will be "up-to-
date" in all evangelical matters, not
limiting itself to the discussion of
purely army affairs, but dealing with
all cognate subjects.
Goods American Volunteers is
the name adopted by the new order.

Commenting on the PRESIDENT
Home Mission speech, the Chicago
Inter Ocean says:
'"But he might have saved himself
a bad blunder if he had consulted the
statistics of churches, as taken by the
census of 1890. So far from being
without religion the West makes a
better showing. in proportion to pop
ulation, than the East. There is q
certain roughness of exterior on the
frontier which must not be mistaken
for contempt of religion"
And Western Kansas has proper

The Ingleside charities are now
well under way:
1--WE have plenty of people to
help" said Mrs. Jonathan Thomas
who is president of the institution,
and a good deal to help them with.
Topeka has an immense number Of

a good many of them are not at all
worthy of help. Some of them will
not work when they haye a chance,
and don't take care of the things we
give them. In Parkdale alone one
visitor has fifteen families in absolute
destitution. There are nearly one
hundred in town that We have now

cit is fact that there are families
mere who make business OF being
supported by the charities of the
county, and will not go to the poor
farm. There is one family I think of
named Ready, that I understand has
regularly lived on the county and
charity for three generations, and
they are continuing to marry with the
same hope. Recently this same fam
lily sent to Missouri for some of its
relatives, and all of them are now
living on the county. And there are
able bodied men in the family, too.

The Tramp Question.

The Literary society of the High
school discussed the tramp question
at its meeting Friday night last. This
is problem of most serious impor
and a puzzle to the wisest as to thu
proper mode for the betterment Of
this condition of society. School SO
cieties are abreast with the times when
they take up moral questions and dis
cuss them. The tramp nuisance is a
menace to society, and how to dis
pose of tramps is one of those things
in ethics for which no remedy seems
adequate. The tramp has become a
professional" character folio wing a
defined course, as though it was out
lined with purpose. Though many
persons "tramping" are forced to this
condition from necessity, it must be
admitted that there is quasi organi
cation of men whose sole occupation
is migration and precarious subsist-
ence on "hand outs and donations Of
old clothes.
At the literary meeting the affirm
alton was taken that the tramp must
be taught habits of industry and be
forced to engage in profitable employ
ment, while the negative side conten
ded that the temptations of whisky
and idleness should be removed. It
is common in dealing with questions
that affect society to treat of results
and not causes; and yet the remedy
cannot be applied to the source OK
cept through some great CONFUSION.
The snares in society may lead men to
Incidence and vice, but the habitual
tramp has fallen into a nomadic ca
reer from matter of choice, hasten
ed by loss of pride and relaxation of
the forces of energy, probably by the
worlds temptations.
The "world owes many of them
living" is maxim in trampdom, land
The plan is closely followed.
Perhaps, as the causes cannot be
removed the remedy lies in mitiga-
ton of the evil of trampdom; and
one of the best remedies is teaching
Of self respect that lifts one above
The level of the tramp; and that what
ever labor is essential to life and we'll
being is honorable employment; and
that it is a sin to degrade human life,
in the form Of the proverbial
ramp or the professional beggar.
Evils of society grow like the dele
terious fungus on plant life. Every
'orm of nature has to contend against
some sort of antagonism. Polluted
water and impure air need refreshing
influences. What is trampdom but
The fungus growth of society; and
like the i'll of the human body?
