M. L. Harrison, who has noticed
carefully, says it is his belief that the
hard wheat which is the favorite in
this county, deteriorates in q series OF
years of resolving, He thinks that
much Of the shattering out which hap
pened this year resulted from the Rus,
sian wheat changing in the course Of
four or five years, growing a looser
hull and shorter head. and that the
quality can be greatly improved by the
introduction OF new seed.

KANSAS AS AN ADvERTIsER.

LOUIS MTTOr, ~ d. SOOu Ouc III
Kansas:
Why does all the world stop
it's business and stand agape
while Carrie Nation, this fat,
little, old woman, who, until a
short time ago, had lived emf
snently respectable years, goes
about waving her hatchet and
talking in loud and excited
tones?
AS the world has rolled along
any number of ladies and gentle
men have arisen with axes or
AIDES or clubs and have damned
the daylights out of people who
disagree with them. Saloon
smashing has been done and in
recent years, by women who
have been prosecuted by the rum
fiend. The matter has caused
some neighborhood comment. 1t
has even got into the days
dispatches. But the story was
unimportant and trivial and
Greatly of no consequence"
But here comes this Kansas
woman from Medicine Lodge,
Kans., the home of Jerry Simp-
son and also of Chester I. Long,
whose speech on, the Porto
Rican tariff was used more than
any other speech on the subject
by the republican national.com-
mittee last year-here comes
this little, old woman and
throws a rock heard around the
world.
Why does it resound?
Would it have crashed through
the glass doors of the house of
fame if Mrs. Nation had Thrown
that rock at Springfield, Mo-,
or Wheeling, w. Va, or Charles
ton, S. c., or Walla Walla,
Wash, or Laramie, Wyo., or
Ilion, N. Y?
NO." as the Fourth Of July
orator would say, mo, ten
thousand times no.!
The rock. that Carrie Nation
aimed at the rum iend's slate,
ratified around the world like a
moon full of meteors falling on
a tin roof, solely and only be-
cause Carrie Nation threw the
rock in Kansas.
Kansas is the tenth muse-the
muse of advertising.
There have been socialists in
America for a century, but until
the Kansas Populist appeared,
the socialists were without force
/, or effect. There have been cy-
clones in the world since the
morning stars sang together,
but until the Kansas cyclone,
was without distinction Or in
fiuence. God made grasshop-
pers before he made man; but
until the grasshoppers became
hyphenated with Kansas he
was a lowly bug, less known
than the bedbug or flea.
Kansas refuses to allow her
wares to become shopworn.
She advertises. 1t is in the
blood. When she found she had
in Ingalls, the best living Ameri
can stylist, what did she doi
Did she hide him in college, as
Massachusetts would have donei
Did she start magazine
with him, as New York woulc
have done? Did she send him te
the court of ST. James as Ohio
would have done? No gentle
reader. Kansas found the best
bill board on earth and pu1
John J. Ingalls, to writing adver
tising on Kansas there. Kansas
sent Ingalls, to the Senate.
Kansas gets advertising ou1

calamity, riches or adversity
