bidding interest on money solved the
bond problem and by making land in
alienable beyond fifty years solved the
landlord problem, something which no
combination of city bred chaps have
been able to do since. This law pre-
vented a man from robbing his grand
children.

Berry counselled the Kansas farmers to
breed such horses as would sell
There is now horse famine in this
country, and why? Because the farm
ers have been negligent: because they
have sold off the good horses and re-
tanned the scrubs. Had they sold the
latter and bred the better horses the
country would now have excellent
horses for every purpose.

everywhere, until the foreign buyers
coming to this country, found the stock

THAT BOY.

Lively Discussion.
Mrs. Mary Gray Draws a Dark
Picture For Farmers.
MIR. VILLAGES REPLY
He Says the Country Boy is
Nations Salvation.
He Preserves and Strengthens
the City.
MIR. VILLAGES REPLY

The meeting of the state board of
agriculture last night was treated to
an exhibition of a very dark picture
so far as the boys of the city and coun-
try are concerned. The paper was pre-
sented by Mrs. Mary T. Gray of Kan
sas City, Kan, wife of Judge B. Gray,
private secretary to Gov. Anthony.
From the contents of Mrs. Gray's paper
the conclusion is reached that mothers
and fathers have failed in their duty
to the boys and that this failure is re-
sponsible for the crime of this country.
The picture left men and women in the
audience in gloom According to the
theories of the speaker there have been
few successes in raising children be-
cause mothers and fathers have ne
elected their religious duties and per-
mitted them to grow up to I'LL reform
schools, jails, penitentiaries and I'M
beetle aSylumS.
The doleful impression made by Mrs.
Gray was removed by Henry Wallace
of Des Moines, Ia He presented some
new theories and the audience cheereo
him gratefully, for being again lifted
previous speaker had plunged them.
Mrs. Gray discussed ''Boys-and C1t1-
zens" Referring to the prospects con-
fronting boys, she said:
THE national nightmare is the strug-
gle for money-greed The boy is con-
fronted by anarchy and riot among
laboring men; the shameless traffic IN
offices; municipal highway robbery; ex-
tortionate taxes; barter and sale OF
votes; the betrayal of trusts from bank
ers down to messenger boys.
Mrs. Gray showed how the neglect of
children by parents is responsible for
such results as she depicted. In solv-
ing these great problems she suggested:
