Washington, August 1s.-Mr. Sargent. the

information that large numbers Of Chinese

cross the creek Monday afternoon

Would You Do 1t?

Would you buy groceries of q grocer
who had no scales? Would you buy
of a dry goods merchant who had no
yard measure? Would you employ a
carpenter who had no saw? If such
men existed would you expect them to
succeed?
Why then expect farmer to sue
ceed who does not take a good, live,
up-to-date agricultural and livestock
paper. A paper of this class is just
as much necessary part of the tools
for the farm as the scales for the
grocery store or.the saw to the car
penter.
When a man in any kind of business
secures the necessary tools for that
business he can do better work audlis
surer of success if gets the best.
! When a farmer secures a farm paper
he should get the one that is publish
ed in the territory and by men who
understand the conditions under which
he lives.
1t is absurd to seek agricultural
information from paper published
in another State and by men who
know nothing Of Kansas conditions.
Cash paid for such paper is dead
expense. Cash paid for the home

investment.

Township Population Changing.

The assessors of the different town
ships over the county are making their
reports these days as fast as possible
to the county clerk and lot of inter-
esting information is coming in. Only
few have reported thus far, but a
surprising. fact is developed by these.
Geneva hows a decrease in popula-
tion of AZ; Carlyle a decrease of 10;
Cottage Grove a decrease of % and
Salem fa ling off of IA. In all of
these but Cott age Grove the same as
SCISSOR took the census this year as
last, so there seems little chance of
error If the same proportion keeps
up over the county the change will be
something like 400 loss, On the other
hand Gas City, LaHarpe and lola will
show large gains, and it is probable
that good many of the people who
have left the county have moved TO
these towns. 1t is certainly to be
hoped so.
