necessary to practice with a loaded ball
and therefore cannot roll with the fellow

loaded balls on the rack and so the man

ARMSTRONG'S RISE.
When You Want Anything, Why Ask
for It..

Chicago. Jan 20.-Robert B. Arm
strong, whose appointment as assistant
secretary of the treasury has been an
nounced in Washington, has had a
most remarkable rise to prominence
in a particularly short time
The story of his rise is an excellent
example of the wisdom Of seeing what
you want and having the nerve to ask
for it. That's how he got where he is
today
About eight years ago Bob" Arm

and for a time was its representative
In the City Hall Later he was made
New York correspondent for the pa
per. When the Times-Herald and
Record were merged he continued for a
short time to fill that place. He then
became Chicago correspondent for the
New York Herald.
About that time Leslie N. Shaw was
appointed secretary of the treasury.
Mr. Armstrong formerly lived in Iowa,
but he knew the new secretary only by
reputation. He conceived the idea of
going after the job Of private secretary
to the new cabinet officer. The only
plan he knew to get it was TO write and
ask for it He did this. and his letter
read in effect. something like this:

to you. and would like to have the job.
Any Endorsements or recommendations
you may desire I will make an effort to
get
About week later Secretary Shaw
announced that he had appointed Arm

Since his connection with the treas
u-y department as private secretary
Mr.. Armstrong has been in charge of a
great deal of important work in special
lines. outside of his regular duties. and

ALFALFA IS KING.
Sedgwick County Nan Makes Big
Money on Investment.

4O4CY on investment
Wichita. Kas. Jan. 2o.-Said Mr.. Old
father of this county, speaking OF the
value OF alfalfa lands:
In May last 1 put $1,000 worth of
hogs on sixty acres of alfalfa, where
they grazed until October 4 after which
1 took them off and fed corn in a dry
lot until November 25 when I marketed
them. The net returns from the hogs
was S., 425, the cost of feed other than
alfalfa grazing was $500, but l got 100
tons of hay from the sixty acres after
removing the hogs. This hay is worth
$500, which would repay the $500 ex
pended for other feed and leave 5000 to
add to the returns from the hogs, bring
ing that item up to $3.6z5. deducting the
81. 200 first cost of hogs there is a net
profit of S2,425 from sixty acres of all
falfa in one season. or over 30 per cent
on 500 per acre valuation"
These figures are astounding, but
coming from Mr. Oldfather they will be
accepted as correct. because he IS not
the man to make wild statements about
the profits in farming. He says that
every acre of his alfalfa will make six
grazing season, and that is not bad
even when hogs bring less money than
al this time
8Ir Oldfather is showing his faith in
alfalfa by buying more land He pur-
chased > 600 acres of land in Barber
county. 900 acres of which is river bot
tom land, and he is having it seeded to
alfalfa. He has also bought six farms
in the artesian district in Meade county,
and he is sowing them to alfalfa as
fast as he can, and he says that alfalfa
already sown in Meade county has
proven just as valuable IS that sOwn in
this county.
