In fact, Kansas will produce larger crops
this year than any preceding season in the
states history. The wheat crop will be a
little short. but that was caused by very
cold winter. OF every other cereal and
farm product there will be a superahun-
dance. To the Kansas woman, with her
usual daring grit and obstinate resolve. are
due these excellent crops The labor they
have performed merits all the honor and
wealth these crops bring forth.

Women who own and run their 1arms'
without any male assistance, constitute 80
per cent of the farming population of Kan

are now engaged in teamwork in Kansas

Like everything else, there are reasons
for 1t, and reasons, too, that unless
they are removed, will lead up to abso-

these days, that the laws are made by
the rich to be obeyed only by the poor,
is telling in its effects. The human be-

that everybody else is required to do the

A republic In good health Is peopled

above made are not confined to people
of any one political belief. They are

ROBERT G, lnSersall Is dead, 1t Is
the passing Of u notable character,
He was one OF the best loved and most
hated men Of the time, and both the
love and the hate we're perhaps equally
unreasoning and without adequate
cause. While a man Of wonderful
ability along some lines, ard pernaps
equally weak In others, he was, taken
all In all, very much like other flesh IN
his life and character, instincts and
nature. AS an efferyescent, senti-
mental orator he had no equal in the
United States, AS a profound rea-
soner, he probably had many peers in
every seat Of culture in the Union.
AS u man Of executive power, he never
showed that he had any, 1t WAS u
daring work he undertook. that Of over
turning the cherished traditions of the
people, beliefs which had been lncul-
Gated by birth aud teaching for more
than a thousand years, He dealt with
the most delicate subject under the

there is something In fate, something
