The Representatives. the Legislature
from Dunklin county is a sure enough
representative. He is a Democrat, OF
course, but he is not n of the moss
back breed. He is for Normal schools,
for public schools. for public educa-

fighter and he is a hard hitter, is this
man from Dunklin county. Every

Cows are Saving Kansas" says a
headline in the sun" Kansas has
been going to grass for some time
past, and that she should become a
COW pasture is not strange. Seriously
speaking, however, it is the women
who are saving the farms, through the
creameries. The men have engaged
in fancy farming and fancier politics
until there wasn't much left of the
bleeding State. The women OF Kansas
have generally proved to be smarter
than the men. 1t is another version
of the old case of the gray mare being
