How They are Held up and systematically
SWiudled

The Emporia Gazette and Lawrence
Journal have opened up war on cheap
and worthless publications in their re-
spective towns, in the line of college,
church and other papers which have no
subscribers to speak of, and fewer read
ers, and whose proprietorS make living
by holding up" business men for ad-
.vertising, the money paid for which
might lust as we'll be thrown into the
fire so far as any possible returns are
concerned. Men who understand them
selves or know the value of advertising
do not want TO advertise in these cheap
jim-crow frauds. The patronage is ding
donged out of them and by misrepre-
sentation, say our cotemporaries, and
they say truly. The merchant had bet
ter give the amount asked for the adj
yertisement in the way of a donation
and he wouldn't feel as If he had been
worked for a sucker. Business men are
worked by all kinds Of advertising fakes
for which they never get any return, for
the simple reason that the publications
are not what they purport 10 be, and
have no readers. There is just one way
to profitably advertise, and that way
is through the columns of such papers
as the merchants knows are read oy
practically everybody in the community
from which he expects business. what
value is an advertisement 10 butcher
or baker a peanut man or an undertake
err which is published in some sheet
which no possible customer of his would
probably ever see. None whatever.

is no probability OF the acreage under
the bread-making grains-in the world
as a whoie--.ncreaSing materially ex-
cept by converting the corn and oat
fields into wheat and rye fields. and this
is likely to be one very desirable result
Of the defective wheat and rye acreage.
while the acres bearing the bread
making grains have shrunken Slightly
since 1884, those employed in growing
maize have increased enormously. the
ratio Of increase of maize fields, as re-
lated to popula ton. since 1871. have been
a> So TO 81. That is the maize fields OF
the worlds have increased more than s.
PER cen. since 1871, while the worlds
bread-eaters have increased but 81 per
cent. More than this, the waste pro-
ducts of the cotton f1eld-cotton seed,
spurious lard, and sham butter made
from cotton-seed oil-have displaced
more than 200,000,000 bushels of corn,
thus intensifying conditions rendered
bad enough by an excessive acreage I'M
der maize. The effect is shown by the
fact that our exports of lard during the
past six years have aggregated more
pounds thar. all the swine slaughtered
in the United States would have made.
That is. the cotton-seed oil which Ar
mour, Fairbanks and their ilk have sold
for swines fat exceeds all the swine fat
produced
Result. low prices for corn and all
its derived products. and the nation is
the worse off by the difference between
the price the planters received for their
Ccttor-seed and the much greater sum
which nas been taken off the price OF
the 1000, 600, 900 bushels OF corn grown
yearly by reason of this competition of
what was formerly a waste product"
ITO what conclusions do your inyesti-
cations lead you. Mr.. Davis?"
My Investigations lead me, as they
have for many years, TO the conclusion
tina. wheat and ali staple products Of
the soil are bound to bring high prices
just as soon as the world has had two
crops of the bread-making grains not
above the average in acre yield, of one
crop thereof materially below the aver
age in acre yield. The world in 1896
harvested crops Of wheat and rye some
what below the average in acre yield,
and the prospects are now more than
equal that the next crop VIII not exceed
an average. If 1t does not l shall look
for very high prices for all the bread
making grains, and If Ga big I'D the re-
mainders from former harvests are no
greater than thew now appear to be.
material advance is by no means i'm
probable before July I, 1897. Mark you,
this Is not a prediction. Only fools and
aStrOlogers predict"

THEY ADMIRE KANSAS
Fair Ministers Who Sojourn Here for Few
Days.

Miss Harriet Green of London, min
lister of the Friends church. and her
companion, Miss Sarah Jane Lury Of
Clevedon, England, are resting at the
Manhattan for a few days. Miss Green
has been visiting the Friends of the
United States for four months and has
been preaching and holding meetings in
the northwest part OF Kansas until she
has overtaxed her strength. Asked as
10 her impressions of Kansas, Miss
Green said very heartily: pioneer life
hase produced splendid race Of men
and women in Kansas" and Miss Lury
added: lone thing which has especially
struck us is the zeal of the Friends for
missionary work"
Miss Green remarked that the inter-
viewer was not known in England, and
when she was told that he grew out OF
the extraordinary interest which the
American takes in affairs of his neigh
Dor and of everybody else, she said she
was prepared to believe IT, She is much
pleased with Kansas, and says that she
has travelled in Europe, but never saw
such glorious sunshine and such Won
derful moonlight as here. She realizes
that times are hard. but says she has
seen much suffering from Kansas mort
cages in England. People there were in
duced to invest the savings of a lifetime
and were reduced to poverty. She
thinks the English and Americans are
much alike, but she says: Your peo-
pie are quicker, smarter than ours;
while an Englishman is thinking about
doing a thing the American has gone
and done it, She Is very hopeful as
20 the Friends church and predicts
great future for it in Kansas, owing to
the earnestness of its members, some OF
whom drive in wagons as far as three
hundred miles to attend the yearly
meetings. She will preach at IL a. m.
and 7:30 p. m. at the Friends church on
South Ida avenue, and on Tuesday Will
go to Oklahoma territory, where she has
engagements for the next two months.
After that it is hoped she may be in
duced to return to Wichita for a time.

OPPOSES SPECIAL QUESTIONS
Judge Sankey's MEASURE to Further the
Cause or Justice.

Our townsman, Judge H. c. Sankey,
has drafted bill to be presented 10 the
present legislature. 1t is an act repeal
ing the statute which permits attorneys
to ask special questions to jury. This
measure will be far-reaching in its eff
fects At present any number of special
questions may be asked of jury and
must be answered. Any Inconsistencies
may be made the basis of appeal and
the owrk of the jury, ii is claimed by
advocates Of the new statute, is stulti-
fed.
BY the provisions of the bill the ask
ing of special questions is prohibited.
Only a general verdict may he demand
ed. The action is aimed indirectly at
the railroads as, it is claimed, railroad
attorneys in particular take advantage
of this method of securing verdict ca
pable of being reversed.

One Of the well established and worthy
organizations of Wichita is the Cooking
club. The superficial reader may have
regarded it as an association o. ladies'
for the diffusion of knowledge on pre-
pairing dainty delicacies, but the Wich-
ita Cooking club proceeds in lines so I'M
portant that the members might appro-
priateiy be called human benefactors.
Americans are up-to-da,e in nearly every
species OF advancement except that OF
cooking. II is a proverb among me
French people that the Americans
throw away what would feed a nation,
and that which they do COCK and eat
makes dyspeptics."
The Wichita Cooking club. during the
past six years. have not only maintained
a compact organization, but have "di-
gested' vast knowledge of the cuisine
art. Extensive reading, correspondence
and practical tests have brought the
membership to tina; degree % perfection
which in any other profession would call
for diplomas. Now. with communicable
humane impulses. the members do not
intend TO let the sweet aroma OF good
cooking waste itself on the desert air.
Mrs. b. II. Campbell, who has been presi-
dent OF the club for four years, said 10
an Eagle representative yesterday:
I'VE want TO utilize our acquired
knowledge in a channel where it will do
the most good. We want 10 secure a
class, no matter how large, OF girls from
IL to 16 years of age, TO learn cooking.
1t is the wish of the club tS train girls
whose parents are limited financially.
Many girls of the age mentioned are
called upon TO do the cooking for their
fathers and brothers, who labor for a
living. To such class our instructions
IN cookery and economy would be salu-
tary and the club could feel that il had
accomplished worthy object. To es-
tablish such free school of cookery will
require some outlay, and We shall be
thankful for any voluntary aid that may
be rendered 10 help the work along The
Gas company has kindly offered 10 furn-
ish gas for the range, the W. c. T. L.
have offered US the use of their reading
room for cooking class. and We hope to
secure donations from grocerymen
butchers and coal dealers-enough from
the latter 10 warm the room. And peo-
pie VINO otherwise have no interest in the
school could make small money contri-
buttons for the good of the cause, and
am sure the club could extend a helping
hand where ii is very much needed
The high standing of the ladies OF the
club at once recommends them for en-
dorsement. Among the most active and
jealous members are Mesdames Finlay
Ross. w. p. Cleaveiand. L. ID. Leweliing,
n. Baldwin and C. II. Davidson.
1t is the intention 10 give class instruc-
tons Saturday, afternoons. and the
pupils can eat or take to their homes the
results of their efforts. 1t is common
dable movement and ought 10 receive
liberal assistance from those who can
afford it.

HOW TO SAVE CORN.
An Aggrieved Man Has Valuable
Receipt.

Receipt.
Our genial friend and excel
lent citizen, Captain Ditto, has a
grievance with the Star because
we did not several weeks ago
publish his receipt for keeping
weevil out of corn. We regret
the delay but will give the es-
sence Of the article, he having
called for the original. 1t is that
if you will let your corn hang on
the stalk until a good rain thor
oughly damp ms the huSk md
then pull and put it in the crib,
be will wager his reputation that
no weevil will ever modest the
corn.
When Captain Ditto was a
planter in Louisiana he, by acci-
dent, made this discovery and
for forty years tried 1t and it
never failed him. He says if fol-
lowed it will be worth thousands
of dollars to the farmers of Ma
rion county and Florida.
