A PAPER INDISPENSABLE TO THE
FARMERS of KANSAS and OKLAHOMA,
= 4 NEWSPAPER FOR FARMERS. LAsoRERs AND HohEST

Each week the Farmers Advocate will
be the best thing of its kind to be found
leaving out of consideration the next
weeks issue. 1t will gather up all the
news of Kansas, classify the news of
the world, keep the farmer informed
as to the latest news in his line of
work. and in every way possible give
him in connection with his county paper
a full resume of the week. 1t won't
undertake to teach the farmer how to
farm-that's his business, not his pas
time in Kansas; our business is to run
a newspaper, not a college-but it will
not neglect keeping him informed as
matter of farm news what are the
latest and best aids to successful farm
ers. Its agricultural editor runs a farm
or two as well furnishes copy
The Farmers Advocate will be fresh:
it will be up-to- date; it will not forget
any member of the farm household; it
will not let personal bias, political or
otherwise, override the truth, it will aim
to be absolutely reliable all through
The price is 81, and we propose to make
it worth at least 81.

street car late last night, a highway
man was shot and killed. There were

tering the car from the rear and three
shots were returned. One broke
Plimpton's arm and the other entered
his breast.

platform also took hand in the shoot
ing, and fired on the robber on the
front end of the car. At the first shot
the robber on the front reeled from
the car and fed to the woods.

woods. Bullets passed through the
clothing of two other passengers. The
highwaymen secured nothing.
Shortly after midnight the police
found near the scene of the car held up
the body of one of the two robbers.
