the nest were cut and torn. but the body

BIRD COURAGE.
There is n vast difference in the couragN
of birds-the moral courage IL one may
SO call 1t. The domestic instinct in sos
of them Is developed so highly that they
will brave all and suffer all rather than
abandon their homes. others apparently
are unconcerned when their nests are
harried, and even though It be early,
in the season they will give over all
thought Of offspring and appear to be
rather glad than otherwise that they are
not to be burdcnded with the cares of
family.
1T Is pleasant to be able to say that
the heartless ones among the songsters
are very much In the minority. Man has
spent time and study In the effort to,
fix the reason for the migration of the
birds, BY far the most poetlcal GifEnot
the most satisfactory, theory which can
ing or the pltds IN the spring Is Promoted by
the home love, as strong In most song
sters' hearts as 1t is in the hearts Of
humans.

PROFIT

The matter of feed is of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle TODD II they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate

RELIEF DISTRIBUTION
Begins in Armourdale--E Estimated
Loss 8 1-2 Millions.

Armourdale Kan, July 6.-The distri-
button of furniture in Armourdale will
begin today A large tent has been erect
ed at Tenth street and Muncie boulevard
for the purpose. J. S. Herrin, formerly
superintendent of the Argentine division
of the Metropolitan Street Railway COM
pany, will have charge of the distri-
button. Two carloads of furniture, which
have been standing on the sidetrack
since Saturday night will be unloaded
early this morning. Each person must
have card showing that the joint re-
lief committees recommend that he re-
ceive aid before he can get any furni-
ture.
In report filed John Radford. state
grain inspector of Kansas, gave detail
ed estimates showing the flood loss in
ArmOurdale alone was approximately
912 million dollars. Mr.. Radford with
the assistance of II men employed in
the grain department. made complete
canvass of Armourdale and listed every
house, its condition, where it now stands
and where it formerly stood. This re-
port will be given to the lumbermen's
association so an estimate can be made
of the cost of repairing the houses.
In his report Mr.. Radford shows that
64S houses are missing, LOO have col
lapsed or are badly damaged. He esti-
mates the total individual loss at 81, $50
900. The total loss to corporations in
Armourdale at $6.5S0OOO, and the loss to
the smaller interests, Mr.. Radford thinks
amounts to $150,O0O. Mr.. Radford has
made careful estimate of all the loss
in Armourdale and his men have made
personal investiga lions of every piece of
property in the city.

MAYOR GILBERT WON'T ACT
Kansas City, Kas., 'Joints" Must Be
Closed by Citizens.

Kansas City, Kan, July 6.-Mayor
Gilbert will not attempt to close the
"joints' in this city A reporter asked
him if he intended to close them and he
answered:
Il will not. I check it up to the coun-
ty authorities and private citizens who
wish them closed.'
Il can't understand why it is that so
many people are DESTROYS of putting the
entire blame on me about this joint
proposition" said the mayor. LAS it
stands at present any citizen, under the
law recently passed, has as much right
to bring injunction proceedings against
these places as I have. The action
taken by the legislature in empowering
the county commissioners to remit the
taxes in the flooded district has caused
a loss of more than one-half the income
derived from taxes in Kansas City,
Kan. AT least one-third of the money
being received in the city treasury at
present is placed there by the joints
1.-The way things stand, if the joints
are closed the taxpayers will have at
least third and probably half larger
burden to bear"
Mayor Gilbert is enforcing his order
to close the slot machines and gambling
houses The front doors of all the
Joints" are closed and thirsty men
have to hunt the back doors to get-in
where the liquor is sold. This was the
mayors orders when he allowed the
Joints" to open after being closed by
former Mayor Craddock during the
flood. Mayor Gilbert has a very eff
fective way in enforcing his orders
about the suppression of slot machines
and gambling houses. Soon after the
order was issued the "jointists" entered
a vigorous protest In almost every in
stance the gambling and slot machines
were in or over a saloon. The proprie
tors were told by the mayor that if the
order was not obeyed to the letter and
the protests did not cease he would
e9rsro off
were no more protests and the order has
been obeyedt

THEY USED DYNAMITE.
Attempt to Blow Up Colorado
Springs Light Plant.

Colorado Springs, Colo. July 6.-An
attempt was made to blow up the
plant OF the Colorado Springs Electric
company at 2 o'clock Sunday morning
by dynamite. One hundred and fifty
sticks of dynamite, weighing IS pounds.
We're piled alongside the north end of
the big building and a fuse lighted.
The explosion of one stick distributed
the others around a radius of 200 feet
saving the building and the lives of II
employees. The glass in all the north
ern windows was broken and fires
started, but were quickly put out II
is considered miraculous that the entire
load did not explode, as there was
enough dynamite to have laid the plant
in ruins
General Manager George p. Tripp has
offered $4,000 reward for the man or
men who made the attempt. There is
10 clue and he states there is no
trouble between the company and it's
employees. In addition to furnishing
Colorado Springs, Colorado City and

HAS HOT AIR WELL.
Well Has Volume and Pressure, but
Output Won't Burn.

Independence, Kan, July 6.-It is
said that all gas and oil belts have their
phenomena, but the southeastern Kan
sas belt certainly has a wonder in a
genuine hot air well. This we'll is To-
Gated in COwley county and is attract
ing the attention of oil and gas men all
over the country. At first it was taken
as a joke, but now it is positively as
serted that although the well has the
pressure and the volume of gas, the
product cannot be induced to burn.
The first well drilled near Dexter was
a good producing gas well, so that it is
tablished that Cowley county is in the
gas belt of Kansas. This second well,
