KANSAS ITEMS cONDENSRD.
Thinks 1t VIII Hold Coed.
Attorney General GODDARD says he
s not a bit worried over the outcome
IF the suit to test the constitution
Atty of the biennial election Law, %
far as it relates to county officers.

law being declared invalid on the
county Office proposition" said he.
The only question in the case is as
to the validity of that section in
reference to district judges. This is
disputed point, but believe the SUI
preme court will sustain the law all
the way through"

The state agricultural college re-
Gently sold 1926 head of cattle II
months old which topped the market.
They were taken at weaving time
and fed the same as fattening steers.
They gained an average of 400 pounds
each. The remarkable feature of this
experiment is that it only required
500 pounds of corn to make 100 pounds
of beef, while in ordinary feeding
1000 pounds of corn are required for
100 pounds of beef. On this account
the experiment promises to bring
about a radical change in the methods
of producing beef on Kansas farms.
