The value of a discovery is nowhere
better illustrated than in the case Of
the Concord grape, which is today the
standard grape Of all the north half of
America. AS a market fruit it suffers
less from the competition of other va
rieties than any fruit of which we have
knowledge.

A friend from Michigan writes us for
directions how to fix a cows stall in
the barn so that she may be kept clean
The following is the way in which we
have fixed our own COW stall: Stall is
feet wide, box Manager width of
stall and feet high, common
stanchion to hold cow, floor elevated
inches above the level of stable
floor, and of such a lengtlesS wiz
just permit the COW to stand upon it
when she is fastened in stanchion.
The width of the stall and the length
of the floor will have to be varied to
suit the size of the COW kept. In such
stall the COW can be kept perfectly
clean without any trouble.
POVERTY AND PIETY,
A western preacher whose salary has
probably not been raised to make good
to him the increased cost of living in
these prosperous times in a recent ser
mon delivered by him expresses the
opinion that continuous prosperity is
not good thing for the man ON the
farm; that money easily made is likely
condition tends to undermine the moral
fiber of the farmer. The writer is al
ways and ever an Optimist-a locker on
the bright side of things and for the
| best side of his fellOws-and so we can
not agree with this preacher, who re
fleets little of a sixteenth century pie
ty which advocated the cruceixion Of
! the flesh as the most orthodox method
of serving the Lord. The good things
of life are just as much the legitimate
rewards Of correct living and business
intelligence as are failure, poverty and
misery the rewards of shiftlessness,
lazlness and lack of business sagacity.
The good things are placed within the
reach of every man if he will but make
the proper effort to win them. Piety is
not the legitimate outcome of poverty,
for but few people are so built that
they voluntarily praise God wSen they
are hungry, poor and miserable. The
men and women on the farm who to-
day enjoy n financial independence
have reached this point only after many
long, hard years of toll and struggle
1t will not wreck their future happi
ness to enjoy good crops and good
prices and freedom from debt. 1t ii
hard to be a good Christian with only
one shirt and an empty pocketbook
This parsOn should learn to look on the
bright side and take his texts from the
Psalms and not from jeremiah.

ARE WORKING HARD
Implement Mems Meeting VIII Bring
Good Crowd.


The implment men of this city are plan
ming to have the greatest kind of a blow
out next Wednesday and Thursday when
the Southern Kansas and Oklahoma I'm
plement and Hardware Dealers associa-
ton meets here. The members of the com
mittee in this city are receiving all kinds
of letters from men in Oklahoma and
Texas asking for particulars and saying
they will come. The implement dealers
and manufacturers Of the east have
given the project their support and have
stated that some of them would be here
in person. while others would send a
representative here. A great many Of the
southern dealers will purchase their spring
stocks Of the jobbers andmanufacturers
while in this city, so a great crowd OF
business men is assured. The meeting
will begin promptly at 10 o'clock each
morning and win continue throughout
the day. On the night Of the 5th there
viii be a grand entertainment and a
smoker given at the Toler auditorium
for the visitors. The lower floor viii be
reserved for the visitors and the gallery
will be sold to the public TO help defray
the expenses of the meeting.
The meeting means much for this city.
as the dealers south OF Wichita want
more jobbing houses to come here. as the
freight bills Will not be nearly so heavy
and then there will be a great saving OF
time to the farmers on repairs. Dealers
south of this city are also determined
70 have better freight rates and the con-
vention is partly for the purpose of try
ing to get better freight rates out of this
CITY.

WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING

Thursday ENeninn

The home of c. W. Brown, at the cor
ner Of Tenth street and Lawrence ave
nue. was entered Thursday evening while
the family were away ard a pocketbook
and s or Sc taken. The thief entered the
building through q window and went
through every room and everything in
the house. The furniture was strewn in
all directions and the man went through
every drawer. He did not take anything
but the pockethook The house was en-
tered before 10 o'clock. It seems as if
the thief goes through a house for moth
ing but cash. as in all cases where houses
have been broken into. nothing but
money has been taken. The man is n
very sharp thief as apparently he VIII
not take anything that viii convict him
if ne were captured. There have been
a number Of small burglaries lately but
as vet the police have not been able to
set a clue to the man. The man GER
tainly watches the house as none Of them
have tecr entered when there was any
one in the building. All or the houses
robbed are in the north part OF the city
The work Of this man seems to show
that he was the same fellow who worked
in that part Of the city about two months
ago

Plans.

Machinery for Fire Protection
Pronounced Good.

Superintendent Charles Darrigrand has
returned from his tour of inspection of
all the big packing houses IN the west
and last night he told reporter for the
Eagle that there would be no changes in
the plans already adopted for the build.
ing of the greater Dold packing house.
It is Fred Dold's intention to build one
Of the very best packing houses in the
world, and knowing that Mr.. Darrigrand
is an expert in everything pertaining TO
a packing house, he sent him to inspect
all the big houses in Kansas City, St
Joseph, Sioux City, Chicago and st. Louis
He was instructed IL he found anything
superior to their plans to so report and
the changes would be made accordingly
He found no better arranged house
and no machinery more up-to-date than
viii be put in the new Dold house. This
means that Wichita VIII have as good a
packing house as there is in the world
when it is completed.
Fred Dold has let the contract for the
roofing of all the buildings. They VIII
all be made of four-ply asbestos felt
gravel. 1t is the intention TO have the
buildings as nearly fire proof as posi-
BILE, and a roof thus composed would be
in no danger from fire dropping on it.
The new fire pump has arrived and is
unloaded from the car. Some machinist
from an eastern house were inspecting
it yesterday and they pronounced it
very powerful machine. Dold will have
the best fire protection of any packing
house in the west. The machinery he is
putting in, supplemented with the fire
machinery of the city, could drown out
any ordinary fire in less time than it
takes To tell about it.
The foundation for the ice plant IS
nearly completed and the fertilizer build
ing will be finised next week. This will
be the first of the buildings completed.
They have to wait on the railroads to
deliver the large timebrs for the big
cooler and that was the reason the brick
masons were put 20 work on the ferti-
lizer building. Doid's old fertilizer build
ing was a frame, but the new one viii
be a large, well built brick. of solid walls,
facing the other buildings.
