FOR EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS.
G. R. Werner, of Colby, Wants the
Government to Establish Them.
Would Be Of InestimabIe Value in Further
Developing the Resources and Indus
tries OF the West Sugar Beets
in Western Kansss.


From Tope ka State Journal.
In the proposition Of G. r. Werner, a
prominent citizen and farmer of Colby,
to have congress establish five govern
mental experimental stations in the
semi-arid region Of the west, there is
something that should be Of direct in
terest to the people of this part of the
country. Even if the gold shale bust
ness does not ''pan out" there will be
some room for the person who has a
wish to devote himself to an agricultural
pursuit to follow out that ambition
But Kansas is pre- eminently farming
state, and as such should lend favor to
any project that is to build up its own
resources, which in this way it possesses
in such a great degree. Kansas Is well
favored IN natural conditions and there
are industries aside from that Of farming
and stOck-grOwing that profit the people
much; but primarily the state is de-
pendent upon this, and is likely to re-
main so. Therefore it is wise that what
ever can be done to improve and en-
nance these industries should be en-
cOuraged. The population is only an iu-
fnitesimal part of what it might be
were all the conditions cultivated to
their utmost, and of what it is bound to
be some day. Now the only way to
reach any proper conception regarding
the worth Of anything is by testing it,
and that is what the experimental stat
1~,r- Se RI, 10 TTrd.-r
the supervision of experts tests with
agricultural products and live stock are
conducted in such a way that results
cannot be mistaken when applied to the
general farming and stock growing con-
ditiOns of the less careful producer.
Thus the worth of the country is deter
mined and means which those who are
to occupy it should employ for securing
the best living are found. 1t is IN pro-
motion of this that Mr.. Werner's plan is
an excellent one, not only for Kansas
but for Oklahoma, Nebraska and other
states or territories where they may be
established. With the rapid develop
ment OF the sugar beet industry Of the
past two years a strong impetus has
been given to the extension of the cult
walton of it in the dry districts, and in
western Kansas it has been found a
money maker. In Nebraska the land
has been given up to the cultivation of
this crop, and 10 connection with the
manufacture of sugar from the beets,
cattle and sheep feeding have proven
profitable side industries. In further
ance Of the experiment station idea this
scheme of Mr.. Werner's, if followed up,
will be OF inestimable value 10 the mid

Funeral of Marion Ebert.

The funeral services for Marion Ebert,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Ebert,
we're held from the Methodist church al
/ 2.3O last Friday afternoon The services
were largely attended and much sym
Pathy shown the berea7ed parents. Ethel
Powers, Myrtle Denney, LOuella Haney,
Georgia Boyle, Georgia Miller and Ethel
Waters were the pail bearers. Twenty
six little flower girls, school mates Of
Marion, acted as an escort and placed
fiOwers on the coffin at the cemetery.
The grave was decorated with evergreen
and white muslin hid the walls of earth.
A pillow of flowers bearing the name,
Marion" large wreath and q beauti-
full bOquet Of carnations were among the
floral offerings.
At the church the choir sang apprO-
pirate music. Rev. Miller took his text
for the funeral sermon from Mark 1914,
the words of Jesus to MS disciples:
Suffer the little children to come unto
me and forbid them not, for of such is
the kingdom of God" Rev. Miller said
in part:
NO theme is so grand, 50 pleasing, so
free from things Objectionable as that of
childhood Especially is this so on an
occasion of this kind Upon divine au-
thority we can say that this child has
passed through death into eternal life,
and now stands in the very presence of
Him who said suffer the little children
to come unto me and forbid them not
This scripture and context Is an en-
.couragement to parents to bring their
children to Jesus; and not to discourage
or forbid them to come unto Him. Jesus
was displeased at His disciples for for
bidding the little ones to come unto
Him. He even set forth the innocence
aud trustfulness Of childhood as a type
of discipleship. Except We be converted
and become as a little child We cannot
enter into the kingdom Of heaven The
instincts Of motherhood understood Jesus
better than the disciples They brought
their children to Hin that he might
bless them. He took them up IN His
arms and blessed them These sweet
thoughts comfort US IN bereavement.
Children are the JOY and hope of the
home, the church and the world. Their
education in the things of God, of duty,
and Of religion, should be painstaking
and prayerful. They belong to God.
They are in a peculiar sense the Savior's
care and heritage. How desOlate is the
home without children. Their very in
huence is refining, is blessing. Often
they are the means of bringing the par
ents to Christ, and the scripture is full
filed. "A little child shall lead them.
This little child had her influence in the
home, in the school and in the com
munity. Her memory viii ever linger
and be blessed"
