With the big demand there has been
for men, and with the many trying ex-
periences Of q threshing season, Ben W.
Wharton Of Harper county recently felt
mighty good when he paid the crew off
this season, that so many had stayed
with him through the entire season. so
he gave each one Of the boys with a
straight record. a fine StetsOn hat, in ad-
dition TO his check; some Of his men
had drawn but a few dollars Of their pay
and they got fat checks The crew sized
it all up, by and large. and figured out
that with the good feed Wharton put
up, and the prompt pay, with never

separator went down in a chuck hole and
broke the axle. that they were ahead OF
the game, declares the Bulletin. So they
toted Mr.. Wharton into a clothing store
at Anthony and fitted him out with a
fine new suit of clothes The Bulletin
gives the names Of this unusual thresh-

other threshers that they are all engaged

Mrs. Plumb's Story.

Before the Old Settlers association at
Emporia. Mrs George Plumb recited some
of the experiences of the pioneers Of
Lyon county dating back to the days
before the war. She denied the story
recently printed by the FL Dorado Repub-
hcan 10 the effect that the women of
that dag made their shirt waists of -four
sacks and left the printed side in full
view across their backs. She confessed
to the use of -four sacks but declared
that the art Of printing on them had not
been discovered at the time in question.
In those days by the way, flour was
worth SIS a hundred weight, and it was
hauled by wagon from Lawrence. 1--WE

In almest every neighborhood
someone has died from an attack
of collie or cholera morbus, often
before medicine could be procur-

Prof. H. T. French of the state
university was asked if there was
any remedy for the dandelion
pest. He said if the weeds we're
not too thick, the proper treat
ment was to cut the plant off
down into the root and put some
salt on it. That would kill the
entire root. 1t is useless to try
to eradicate by digging, as the
pieces of roots left in the ground
would sprout. Care should be
exercised to keep the flowers cut
off SO the plants would not ma
ture seed. This seed will fall in
the grass and give rise to new
crop of plants, while the seeds
carried in on the wind were com
paratively few in number.

schools of political thought will
first see things to blame and then
things to praise in the national
course, but foreign nations look
at our policy practically unaware
of the little political breezes and
differences, and they are perfect
ly convinced that our attitude on
the Monroe question is one of
common sense nationally and
common charity internationally.
Within our own ranks we hear
talk of the Monroe Doctrine be-
ing inconsistent with American
expansion. This is not realized
by the rest of the world. 1t is
as though a householder because
he has domain of his own, run
along certain rules and ideas of
his own, could not go out and
acquire any further property
without the destruction of the
organization of his one original
establishment. Applied this
way, the argument is simple and
convincing. All that our nation
can do for its weaker neighbors,
it can do without being inconsis-
tent in its larger attitude towards
world policies.
Upon the shoulders of a mod
ern Hercules are some of the bur-
dens of the world yet TO be laid.
We cannot foresee all the inter
national difficulties into which
our broader course of politics
may carry US. We are only be-
ginning to carry burdens. In
that broader field of duty, we
shall find ourselves standing
side by side with the nation that,
bound in by the sea, contracted
IN its land area, and yet possess.
or of a great expansive heart, has
led in bearing others burdens.
The more international response
bility comes TO rest upon the
United States the more near tC
England will it come in sym
pathy, the two together being
set to maintain the steady ligh
of individual liberty-mental
physical, spiritual.
Tides of the sea advance anC
recede forever. Nations have
advanced and receded like tides
simply leaving upon the beach
some foated scraps to tell tha
they have existed, but those ma
tions that are founded upon +;
right understanding of human
dignity and human obligation
cannot be understood as mere
tidal nations. A glance bacl
over one hundred years shows il
the English-speaking world no
a tide but a gradual rising; and
for the sake of this world and its
need of some nations to stanC
unselfishly for right and for pro
gress, our prayer should be tina
the promise in this nation
