would listen. Better go down to the

Joker who had listened to Henry's tale
of woe. And Henry did go down to the
court to fix it. Marching up to his
honor he said: ''Chudge, don't you

The published statement of some
stranger residing in a faraway place
may be true enough. but it Is generally

and though I tried remedies of various
kinds never found anything to do me
much good until I procured Doan's Kid

from the use of three boxes gave me

quired as to the ordinance pertaining

saved. A generous rain would revive
the fields, especially the late planted
corn, and make it possible to gather a
fair crop and certainly make a good
fodder yield.
The greatest hardship as "a result OF
the drouth will come to the small farm
er, who will be Obliged to rush his stock
to market and accept panic prices be-
cause he Is without means to carry him
over TO another season. The farmer
who has stored his surplus corn from
himself by growing alfalfa and other
fodder crops will not sustain much loss
or be seriously crippled.
Secretary Coburn calls attention to
the fact that the acreage of alfalfa in
this state is greater than the acreage of
any other tame grass, and that the
yield from this source will go far to-
ward making up the loss of the hay
crop. There was an abundance of hay
on the Topeka marked yesterday. The
farmers are taking advantage of the
high prices, and to some extent the al
legged shortage Is a scare. Reports re-
ceived last night show thar in the mid
die and western part of the state corn

farmers are still cultivating 1t in order
