his neighbor pays and the man who
is lodging his taxes soon gets tired

public. Newton Kansan.
We believe the plan has its advan.
tages and the Advocate, as the official
county paper, would be glad to pub
lish such a list if the board of com.
missioners should authorize it. Last
year the Advocate did something in
this direction by giving two and
three column write ups of the asses
sors reports of the different town
ships and it is our intention to pursue
the same plan again this year. The
assessors are now at work and the
first article of the series will be pub
lished as soon as the reports come in.

The most powerful engine must stop II
the fires are not fed. Man is the most won
derful piece of machinery in the world, yet
no matter how strong and we'll made his
bodily frame may be, if the FIRE of life
within him is not constantly fed his limbs
and muscles become powerless and useless.
The reason men become helpless and
diseased is because the food they eat,
which is the fuel of life, is not properly
digested and appropriated by the stomach
and nutritive organs. 1t is not completely
transformed into the strength and working
power which is to man what steam is to

During the past few days several
trains have left the Santa Fe yards
at Independence, Kas.. loaded with
cotton for Japan. A part of the cot
ton was raised in Oklahoma, but the
greater part of the cotton was raised
in the vicinity Of Independence. The
cotton raieed at Independence is Of a
fine variety and finds a ready market.
William Mcfarland, living near that
city. raised twenty-one bales on six
teen acres. A much larger acre &c
will be put in next year. and South
ern Kansas promises soon to become
a great cotton-producing section. A
large cotton mill is now almost com
pleted at Independence, which will
lead to the erection of other factories
for the manufacture of cloth.

The legislature this year passed a
bill looking to the better conduct of
schools in the smaller districts of
tho State, which is a step in the
right direction. Every now and
then articles have appeared in the
papers describing districts in which
there is but a single family whose
various members receive pay for
teaching.
There are, in fact, hundreds of
schools whose pupils number less
than ten all told. Taking the entire
list of the State, one fifth of the
schools contain ten pupils or under
aud one-tenth contain less that FIVE.
Such schooling is obviously bad and
probably worthless. The teachers
inefficient and there is little or no
effort for such training as the COM
mon school system contemplates. In
mauy States the difficulty has been
met by abolishing these schools and
providing public conveyance for
children in sparsley populatei dis
tricts to towns and villages where
larger, graded schools may be kept.
The present legislature has been
the first in Kansas to grapple with
this matter of the small school dis
triets and the compromise bill passed
provides that where the attendance
is less than seven pupils the county
superintendent may abolish the
school and from the funds previously
: used to carry on these schools par
ents are paid the cost for carrying
their children to larger schools in
nearby towns.
Some such legislation as this is
found necessary not only to do away
with worthless schools but to combat
the growing tendency everywhere of
FARMERS to move to the towns, one of
tho principal objects being to obtain
better educational advantages for

The signing of the peace treaty by
the Queen Regent of Spain, Friday,
brings the Spanish-Amerlcan war Off
cially to an end. The fighting part
of the war, as occasionally happens
in such cases, was shorter than the
proceedings which brought peace.
Minister Woodford was given his
passports in Madrid on April 81,
1898, and the war officially began,
although Spain did not formally
make any declaration until the Oath
that war existed, and on the 25th
Congress passed an act which pro-
claimed that war had been begun on
the 21st. On August 18th the proto-
col was signed in Washington and an
armistice proclaimed. The treaty
of peace was signed in Paris on De-
cember 10th. It was ratified by the
Senate on February 6, 1899, and the
ratification for Spain, by the hand of
the Queen Regent, took place on
March 18th.

Snowfall in the Mountains.

The February climate and crop
bulletin issued by F. II. Brandenburg
contains information that will be OF
interest to Arkansas Valley growers.
1t is as follows:
Exceptionally stormy weather, with
very brief Interruptions, was the fea
ture of the month throughout the
northern half of the mountain region,
bringing large additions to the un-
precedented amount of snow already
on the ground; while the mountain
ranges of the southern counties failed
to receive the usual snowfall. Con-
sidered as a whole the depth was in
creased fully Is per cent during Feb
ruary; despite the settling caused by
thawing and winds. In the valleys
the depth averages 80 inches, and
twice tLat amount is reported near
timber line. At greater attitudes the
estimated average depth is placed at
Is inches.
In many localities snow has fallen
continually and, being attended by
high winds, the bulk of the fail above
timber line has been swept into shell
tered spots, filing the ravines and
gulches. or piled mp in drifts of I'M
mense proportions that will last
throughout the summer. In these
places the snow is exceptionally we'll
paced, and the same is generally true
of the snow of southern and western
exposures below timber line, except
where it is granulated.
As rule the ground was unfrozen
and very dry at the beginning Of
winter, and ~ thawing hes already

much of the moisture win be absorbed
by the ground to appear late in the
season in the increased dow Of
springs, etc. It is fortunate that the
ground IL in condition to absorb the
unusual amount of water, since this
will tend to lessen the volume, which
is likely to be excessive in all If the
streams with the coming Of warm
weather, and especially rainy spells.

to his home paper from Manila. We
make some extracts:
have had small chance to see the
rocks and trees. I know the geology OF
the island must be interesting. The
mountains are old volcanic rock. Then
there is recent formation of lime and
sand stone laid down in the lower pOr-
ton of the shore. know can collect
some valuable fossils when the OppOrtu-
