that the program was carried out.

The Kansas City Times says their
"union depot is good enough-for a
barn."
Emporia claims to have a factory
that uses car load each ofapples and
tomatoes every day.

School books are being shipped
into the state, two csr loads per week.
Thus far there has been forty car

A woman living In Kansas City by
the name of Rouse sued her husband

According TO the Atchison Globe
man handles needle very akward-
ly, but when the button he sews
comes off, little bunch of cloth goes
with it.
Sterling has a merchant who ad-
vertises he is going to Klondyke,
hence wants to sell off his stock. His
scheme is little newer than the
"selling out at cost" racket which has
been worked to death.

1t is claimed that the scarcity of
salt in central Africa makes it one of
the most desirable luxurIes. The veg
etable diet of The country creates an
uncomfortable desire for salt Those
deprived of it for a long time suffer
greatly and often insanity is traced to
the lack of it.

There is a deal of truth in the fol-
lowing paragraph: Many a boy
has been driven eff the farm by being
given pig and having his father
keep the hog into which it grew to
pay for the corn it ate. Children esti-
mate these things at their correct
value, because of a natural knowl-
edge of what is right.

How is this: GA Missouri editor
wants to know if the yellow fever
in the south is in any way connected
with Hanna prosperity. He thinks
that the people who arranged for a
famine in India and short crops in
South America must be responsible
for the raising of the yellow fever flag
in the SOUTH"

Editor Padgett, of the Salina
Herald, thinks: ':The Hanna spros-
perity' adds to the cost of living, but
it does not increase wages; it draws
money out of the United States treas
ury, but it does not put more money
in. The truth is we are just little
closer4o the gold standard wages and
have made another step toward Euro.

St Louis claims to have a woman
who is not afraid of shot gun. She

manly manner, but not for shot gun,
even if he shot her.

How many parents give their girls
the same inducement to work that
their boys are allowed? Do you pay
your boys and have tLeir sisters work
for their keep? Let the girls know
there is money value attached te

performed with better grace Youl

Europe have made it possible within the
last thirty years for the beet to surpaSs

SOME TREMENDOUS FIGURES.
Seventy moderate sugar factories in
California would utilize 500. 900 acres of
land; would make annually 10000 tons
| of sugar, nearly one-half as much as
Germany, equal to the product Of
France, Russia or Austria and four
times as much as the Hawaiian Islands
and one-sixth of the entire worlds beet
sugar output. That would disburse an
nually S14000,0G0 for labor, fuel. etc,
and $50, 900, 900 for beets, and would
altogether represent an investment of
over $50 100000.
We consume annually 100000 tons
Of sugar
We pay to foreign nations about $120.
100000 annually for sugar
We have the land, We have the eli
mate and we have the brains and bone
and sinew to produce all that we re-
quire.
Germany, France, Russia and Austria
have been teaching us for fifty years
how to make beet sugar, and have de-
monstrated that beet sugar pays.
They have 1,24o factories, While we
have to-day only eight in the entire
United States
How much longer will intelligent and
enterprising Americans send their dol
lars to foreign countries to pay for that
which may be produced at home?
