buildings we had to eXcayate into
red clay hillside and pile the clay tax
en- from the excavation in the lower
levels. On the grounds around this
building have been trying to convert
this clay into garden. Grass plats
were formedand large shrubbery BEDS
prepased and planted in the untamed
clay. After everything was planted
good coat OF nianurewas placed on the
surface and left there. Last summer
was the hottest ami dryest eyerknown
here, but it was pleasant to see how
things grew and 1lourished in that
clay, which was merely the subsoil
piled three or four feet deep.
This spring the soil in these beds
works as mellow as the traditional
ash heap, and the bloom of the roses
and shrubbery of all kinds is simply
amazing, being fully twice as great as
with the same kinds of plants set in
natural soil elsewhere. | use all ma
nure as a mulch, either in garden or
field. In the garden. after setting
plants or planting seed, the manure
is spread over the surface and left
there to be slightly worked in during
cultivation. On the farm the place for
the farm manure is on the clover as
fast as it can be gotten from the sta
bles. There is but little while dur
ing the early summer when it can not
be put there, and then we are usually
too busy to haul it out. But except
in making fine compost for green
house use, composing is about the
worst waste of time and labor that a
farmer can engage in. Manure is
heavy and expensive stuff to handle
in proportion to it's value, and it does
not pay on the ordinary farm crops to
spend time piling and turning a lot of
earth, litter and droppings, and mag
inc that it is all manure. Far better
get the droppings out as fast as made
where they will help to grow the COM
post all over the land in the shape OF
peas or clover. A pile of well rotted
manure containing half dozen OF
more loads is simply all that is left OF
four or five times the amount which
has largely gone to waste in the turn.

The silliest of all ways to handle
manure is to haul it to the field and
laboriously fork it into little piles
when the spreading should be better
done at once from the wagon. DO not
be afraid of the sun shining on it oil
the winds drying it, or of its running
down hill, for if the soil has good,

Teachers Library.

Some smooth agents have been plac-
ing memberships in Teachers Home
University Library company, OF Marshal
Town." among school teachers in this
county. Six dollars and fifty cents is
charged for membership for four years
and fifty cents year will be charged on
the last three years. This will be eight
dollars to each member for the four
years privilege to read the books. The
first year about 125 books were promised
to be placed in the county superinten-
dents office. These were to be loaned
out to these members in rotation. Then
at the end of the year these books are to
be passed on to some other county and
this county to receive and use those
that another county had used this year,
and so on for four years. At the end of
that time the members in this county
could retain the last bunch of books.
Or course these books would then have
been used four years and as the binding
is mostly cheap. they will have been in
tatters. AS there are sixty who joined
the association in this county that would
make about two worn out books apiece
for them. The books now at the super
intendent's office are rather cheap and
common lot of books, and with only 125
TO select from and sixty members, it looks
like small recompense the company is
giving for the nearly $500 it is taking
froa the county. If the teachers only
could nave acted together with that
money they could have bought splendid
library, as books bought at wholesale
are very cheap now. They could have
put in library of thousand volumes
of as high class as these furnished by
this company, and had il for their own.
But then they evidently have not acted
together. Superintendent Spencer is so
little pleased with the arrangement that
he has not concluded whether to let the
| books remain in his Office or not.

Restored to His Friends.

J. Anderson, the man who was found
destitute and starving by a Dayton
township farmer few weeks ago and
taken to the Poor Farm, has been re-
stored to his friends. Anderson, who is of
weak intellect, told at the time he was
taken to the farm that he had brother
living near Audubon, la. Supervisor
Mccoy wrote to Ed Cousins of that place
naming the circumstances of the case
and Mr.. Cousins soon discovered and in
formed the mans friends who came after
him last week and took him home. 1t ap-
pears that Anderson who had been max
ing his home with brother near Audi
bon wandered away and became lost.
He kept getting farther and farther
from home, subsisting on apples, corn
and an occasional meal given him by
people who pitied bis deplorable condi-
ton. He was very near death from cold
and starvation when placed at the Poor
Farm. His friends paid all expenses in

tainment is an "Old Maids Convention"
and is pronounced by those who have
had the opportunity to judge, to be the
funniest thing which has ever been
given in Audubon, by local or foreign
talent. The Columbian ladies have the
ability to put through, creditably, any
thing they undertake, and we can guar
antee satisfactory evening to all who
attend. The cause is most worthy and
everyone should go or at least buy a
ticket. The ladies are working hard,
putting in their time and with some ex-
pense as we'll to raise money for the
library, which we understand is in
urgent need Since the first year of the
library's existance these ladies have
kept it open, every day, and have from
time to time added many new books
without soliciting dona tons depending
on their own eXertions to raise money to
keep it going. The citizens should APP
preciate this fact and attend their per-
Torrance. The price of tickets, we un-
derstand, will be only 35c or SOC for re.
served seats.

NEXT WEEKS NEWS.

Next week we publish the big
edition of the NEWS and advertisers
must not only have their copy
ready, but they must have II in on
time 80 that we may be able to give
them satisfactory space and posi-
ton.
Do not forget that this issue will
be the most complete number ever
issued and il will be circulated
where it will do the most good.
Our agents will see that a copy of
the NEWS goes into every house in
the district tributary to Baxter
Springs. We shall not rely alto
gether on the mails, but will have
our men 60 from house to house
where necessary and distribute the
paper to all. We shall take the In.
dian Territory for Is miles south of
Baxter Springs. We shall cover the
whole southern half of Cherokee
county and one corner of Missouri.
If our merchants have anything
they wish to sell and think they
can compete with other towns now
is the blessed opportunity to let the
people know it. If you have line
of goods you think you can cut on
now is the time to advertise the
fact. If you can beat the Miami,
Chetopa, Columbus or Galena
prices on wagons, wire, sugar,
shoes, clothing, coffins, or Club
House, now is the time to say 80. If
you cannot beat or compete with
other towns on prices il is your du.

We believe Baxter Springs mer.
chants are up to date buyers and
sellers and we believe they will see,
the necessity of advertising in or.
der to draw outside custom. If our
merchants will back us up in this
scheme we will guarantee them
good service and we believe onr
united efforts will be the means of
bringing many thousands of dol

FOR MEN ONLY.

II is not to be wondered at, as
such things are likely to happen;
come people who have not studied
the subject and posted themselves
as well as they might, will tell you
II is simply impossible; others who
are more conservative will stop to
deliberate more carefully before ex-
pressing their opinion ON matters
of so much importance. 1t is a fact
nevertheless, and the more you in
vestigate the more evidence you
will find and the more facts will be
brought to light to corroborate our
statement. There is no one so blind
as those that will not see, and some
blind men can see farther into q
subject than other men with two
good eyes. Now the fact of the
matter is you will not need any
more proof than to be brought face
to face with the stern reality, and il
does not matter one bit what your
nationality, or what color you are,
you will realize the truth of this
whole business by simply taking a
birds eye view of those new styles
