beginning to fatten them.
"Other things being equal the
younger steed is much the more eco
inomical beef producer, and another
point we'll worth considering is the
fact that u better carcass of beef can
be grown by liberal feeding through
out the life OF the animal than by
taking year and half to grow the
framework, followed by six months
or year to make the fat. In other
words, the fat should be made along
with the growth in such way as to
incorporate it In and make it a part
of the muscular tissue, where it will
give quality and flavor and thicken
high priced cuts rather than be de,
posted as an external layer and
about the internal organs, as to the
tendency where animals are forced
to their limit in fattening period
after they have practically reached
maturity. 1t is better as Mr.. Ker
rick tersely says and has amply
demonstrated to grow beef rather
than fatten cattle. -

Crop Manipulation and Scare.

Z That the crop situation is serious
Throughout large portion OF the
corn and live stock section OF this
country and that, in some portions,
the corn crop will be total failure
is no longer subject of question;
/! that drouIh scare has been manipu.
lated and enlarged upon for specula-
tive purposes is also as true as Cos
pei. But we are not yet prepared
TO believe the situation as bad as it
has been pictured.
1t may be cutting a little close to
the quick, but we think the coun-
try, as whole, is too prone to be
influenced by crop reports manipu-
lated in the interests of Board OF
Trade speculation.
We are sorry for those who have
been absolutely obliged to force
their drouth stricken stock to mar
ket and will have no corn to harvest;
the number of such is larger this
season than in ordinary years, but
the starved out, drouth stricken To-
cality can be found every year.
But this country is too big and va
I ried in her climatic conditions tc
have a famine in this or any other
year. when the frost is on the
pumpkin and the folders in the
shock, this country may not have
corn to burn but you will ficd there
will be corn to sell and corn to feed il
q great many Of the localities tha1
are now reported as facing . failure
The situation is Of course bat
enough; in fact, is pitiful in SOM
sections, but there 10 nothing bu
scare to warrant the mad rush o
/ immature stock to market that ha
asbaen noted recently. Thousands Q
the cattle that helped break tn

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington,
KY, when they saw he was turning
yellow His skin slowly changed color
also his eyes, and he suffered terribly.
His malady was Yellow Jaundice.
He was treated by the best doctors,
but without benefit. Then he was ad
vised to try Electric Bitters, the
wonderful Stomach and Liver remedy
and he writes: after taking two
bottles I was wholly cured" A trial

superintendent's observations Among
the Districts.

Six school district boundaries were
slightly changed last Monday. The
reason in each case was to place
families having children to send to
school in the district offering the
shortest distance.
The first order for 1.-THE Kansas
Pupils Reading Circle Books was
from Supt. A. NJ. Sailor, Erie; the
second from A. H. King, Lawrence
and the third from Dickinson county
and goes to Dist. No. !, in Liberty
township. The schools Of Dickinson
are among the first Of the state and
Dist. No. | with its new stone school
house is among the first in rank as
well as number.
Grade cards may be had from the
superintendent. Teachers should not
fail to make use Of them at least once
in every six weeks. II pupil is low
in his studies it is best that his par
ents should know the fact at once.
II reports are to be relied upon
there are some teachers SO rushed
that they forget to give proper atten'
tion to the chart classes. These lit
tie folks should 'recite at least four
times day.
ANONYMOUS letters from different
parts OF tie county have been re-
ceived asking that certain "evils" be
adjusted and signed by "One who
wishes to see fair play" "a lover OF
right" and the like. Such letters can
receive no attention. Any irrregu-
larities on the part Of teachers or
school boards requiring the action Of
the county superintendent must be
identified by the parties making the
charges. Not that the name may be
used in the investigation, but that II
may be known that the charges come
from reliable source.
Teachers or Others wishing to con
fer with the superintendent mex
Saturday will find him by calling a
the county clerks office.

DISTRICT IS MUNICIPALITY
Eight Hour Law Applies to School
Districts.

Judge d. o. WesV' as''s'""'
general, yesterday handed down an
opinion holding that school distrlc'
is a municipality and that public
work instituted by it is subject to the
restrictions Of the eight'hour labor
law. Recently, B: P. Scott assistant
state labor commissioner, commenced
proceedings against E. }. Brewster
an independence contractor, for vlo'
lating the eight-hOur law while con-
structing school house. Brewster
ATTORNEYS raised the point that a
school district was not municipality
and therefore not amenable 10 the
law. Mr.. Scott asked an opinion
from the attorney general before pro-
ceeding with the case In his op'n'
ion Judge West SAID;
ut is settled by a long line Of de-
cisions that while a city is not public
corporation proper, counties town
ships, school districts and boards OF
education are quasi-public corpora
tions only, and that the concorporatc
powers by special act does not apply
to counties and similar quasi pubic
corporations. But it will be noticed
the words county and township as
well as city are descriptive Of what
the law evidently terms municipal
tiles by using the term 'or other mn'
nicipalty'"
Acting Judge II. A. Ewing ol A'lcn
county has handed down an opinion n
on the cight.hour labor law which, II
sustained by the supreme court VIII
work radical change in the enforce
ment OF the law. In a case brought
against James Wilson of lola ioI
working bis men more than eish'
hours per day on a school building
Judge Ewing held that the law wal
not applicable to the case for the rea
son that the legislature has no power
to enact a law regulating the terms o
employment between a contractor
and his men. He said that a city
county, township or other municipal
ity could be restrained from working
men in their direct employ more thai
eight hours but that the law coult
not apply to a contractor doing w0rl
for q municipality under no restric
tiops other than the time Of the com
pletion Of the job. II provision re
quiring eight.hour labor existed Ii
the contract between the contracto
and the municipality then the lav
could be enforced but under no othe
conditions. The case has been ap
pealed to the supreme court.
