WILL PUT In DYNAMOS.
Western Union to Take Out Old
Battery Svsteu.

L. McKissick, general electrician of
the Western Union Telegraph company
at Chicago; C. B. Horton, general sup
erintendent at Omaha, and c. P. Adams,
superintendent of telegraph of the Rock
Island at Chicago, were in Topeka
Wednesday for the purpose of planning
improvements at the local Office of the
Western Union company which will be
commenced very shortly. The plans
have not yet been made fully public
will be expended in replacing the i'm
mense stand of gravity batteries with
dynamos with which the telegraphic
power of the Topeka headquarters will
be supplied.
At present between 5000 and 5000
gravity cells are employed to furnish
the current on the Western Union
wires in Topeka The annual expense
is dollar per cell. The substitution
of dynamos will greatly lessen this ex-
pense of maintenance. No change will
be necessitated in the present location
of the Western Union office. Arrange
.nents have been made to buy power
for the dynamoS from the Edison IL
Eliminating company and all the branch
offices operating Western Union wires
in Topeka will be supplied from the
dynamos in the central Office The AS
ISOLATED Press, the Santa Fe and the
Rock Island all use Western Union
wires and maintain separate telegraph
offices in the city. Although confirming
the statement that improvements at
the headquarters office were contemz
plated, Local Manager w. c. CarsWell

greatest alfalfa region Of Kansas lies
along the central northern counties,
which are also the great corn-producers.
Another great alfalfa region is in the
south central part of the state. These
might be called the alfalfa centers.
The other tame grass crops, timothy.
blue grass and clover, are largely con-
fined to the eastern border of the state
the eastern three rows of counties. The
acreage outside Of these counties is
small.
Jewell county is still far in the lead
in the production of alfalfa. 1t has 49,
51S acres, an increase of upward of 5000
in the past year. It's nearest COM
petitor is Butler with 25.52S acres. Re
public, adjoining Jewell, has p, 457 acres.
Greenwood county made the largest
increase of any county during the past
year. It now has 1886 acres of alfalfa,
an increase of 6339 in the past year.
other counties which have made large
increases during the past year are Re
public, 5,005 acres; Jewell, 4,542; Har-
vey 4,1S7 Butler 3,S77; Smith 1913,
Dickinson 1929; and Chase 3. 05S Every
county in the state shows an increase
except Norton, which has heretofore
been a big alfalfa county, but in which
the assessors returns, as made to the
state board of agriculture this year,
report a loss of almost 1000 acres. This
is so out of harmony with the rest of
the state that Assistant Secretary Mob
Ter has taken the matter up with the
county officials of Norton county to as
certain if a mistake has not been made.
The fact that alfalfa is a perennial
legume is a great factor in its favor
in addition to the large returns which
it gives and the fact that it makes ex-
ceIlent feed. After a stand has once
been secured it gets better each year.
1t also stores the soil with nitrogen,
rep1enishing that which corn and wheat
take from it. so that ground on which
alfalfa has grown for a number of years

Col. Joe Hickey, a picturesque
and national character, committed
suicide by drinking carbolic acid
in New York City the other day.
Hickey always liked good whisky,
but he had his opinion about bad
whisky. He once said: 0The
whisky put in cocktails would cut
a new street thru Harlem. Most
of it never saw a distillery, but
probably was made in Hester
street, from vinegar, concentrated
lye, chemical extracts and naptha.
Col. Hickey was horn in Iowa but
settled over here in Galloway coun-
ty, next to Audrain, after serving
in the Confederate army, and, be-
ing a born politician, soon became
