WANT FARMERS AID
Railroads Ask Them to Store
Their Wheat.
TO AVOID CAR SHORTAGE
Farmers Haul Grain to Cars
As 1t Comes from 1hresherS.

The railroads are doing everything in
their power to prevent such a serious car
famine this year as they had on their
hands last year While each one had
large number of cars made it was found
that these would not accommodate the
business Then they found that the food
in Kansas City had so damaged the yard
facilities that it was impossible TO send
cars through that city and the roads re-
fused shipment for or through Kansas
City.
The latest move Of the roads entering
this city is asking the farms rs to hold
of their shipments for a short time
Nearly all of the western roads have men
in the wheat fields pleading with the
farmers TO store their wheat. or a part
of 1t. and ship it later on. 1t seems. ac-
cording TO the railroads, that the farmers
are threshing their wheat as fast as
possible. and that they are rushing it 70
market just as fast as the grain comes
from the machine. On this account the
car shortage came earlier this year than
last
The railroads ask the farmers to store
their wheat for thirty or sixty days and
promise to furnish the cars to the
farmer at that time if ne will keep his
grain off the market. The railroads are
trying to arrange with the farmers TO
hold their grain according TO a scale that
will bring about the same amount Of
wheat to market every week. The roads
claim that they can handle, in good shape,
most Of the grain that is coming in now,
but they have calls for cars which they
are unable TO furnish. They are working
TO their greatest capacity at present and
expect TO have all kinds of trouble within
a short time, unless they can persuade
the farmers TO store their grain.
Many of the farmers have only small
bins fit to store wheat and the elevators
are small and few in number. not near
enough to accommodate the wheat crop.
The farmers, therefore, haul their wheat
directly from the machine to the cars.
and want to ship it right away and get it
of their hands

Mr.. BARNES TALKS SOME MORE.
Says w. r. ScheiI is Not Member of
Horticultural Association.

The fight being waged by Mr. Barnes.
secretary of the State Horticultural So
ciety on w. F. Schell OF this city, who
has been appointed by the Kansas COM
mission of the Louisiana Purchase eX-
position. to have charge of the Kansas
horticultural exhibit at the fair broke
out again at Topeka with another talk
by Mr. Barnes on Mr.. Schell not being
a union man. Mr. Barnes is quoted
as follows:
Mr.. Barnes declares that Mr. Schel or
Wichita, whom the fair commissioners
want to put at the head OF the. Kansas
fruit exhibit. will not be Endorsed by A
majority of the trustees of the horticul-
tural society The commissioners have
announced that unless Mr. Schell is in
dorsed by the horticultural society. he
will not be appointed.
Since the secretary of the commission
has seen fit TO make public the personal
letter which / wrote. says Mr.. Barnes.
4 don't know that there is any reason
why | should withhold any criticism L
care to make. AS far as that letter to
the secretary is concerned. l am perfect
ly willing TO stand by it. | can see only
would change. and that is the one in
which it might be taken that / express
a desire for the appointment. 1t stated
that the secretary of the horticultural
society should be in charge of the APP
pointment, but / did so intending that it
should be taken as a sort of third per-
son reference. / believe that the horti-
cultural society should be in charge of
the exhibit. ] have not time to devote
TO this exhibit, and even If l should be
appointed, as / do not expect TO be, it
would have to be merely al head | have
not time TO spend in St. Louis doing the
actual work.
Personally I consider MIR. Schen a
fine man. and do not doubt he can get
plenty of endorsements. but he will not
get the endorsement of the ma jority of
the trustees of the horticultural society
because he is not member of the horti-
cultural society. lie is a nursery man,
not horticulturalist.
This commission was appointed by
Governor Stanley. Mr.. Luling was made
secretary out of compliment to Stanley.
because they are both from the same
town. Schell is also from the same town.
Governor Stanley is a stockholder in
Schells nursery Is il any wonder that
the commits sioners and Mr.. Luling should
try to get the Job for him? He was a
Wichita applicant and Mr.. Stanley and
Mr.. Luling will no doubt both try TO land
him the job. But l have heard from
several of the trustees of the horticultural
society. and I do not believe that the
plan to appoint Mr.. Schell will meet with
approval

ASKS FOR RECEIVER.
John Kennedy Says His Partner lg-
nores Him

John L. Kennedy, who states that he
and c. w. Starns are joint owners of
a threshing machine. filed a petition in
the district court yesterday asking the
court 10 call for an accounting from his
partner, and also to appoint a receiver
to take charge of the threshing business
of the partners. He states that he and
the defendant went into an oral contract
June 25 by the terms of which they were
TO be co-partners, but that the defend
ant ignores the plaintiff and the contract
and insists upon having the sole right to
collect the money due the partners. He
states that the defendant pays out what
he deems proper and refuses TO show
receipts to the plaintiff for money which
he alleges he has paid out.

AN OLD IDEA
Shown to Be Absolutely False by
Modern Science.

People used To think that badness was
one of those things which are handed down
from generation to generation. from
father to son-just like a family heirloom
Science has shown the falseness of this
belief by proving that badness itself is
not constitutional disease. but the re-
suit of a germ invasion of which only
Herpicide can effectualy rid the scalp.
Washing only cleans the scalp of Dan
druff. it doesn't kill the germ.
Destroy the cause and you remove the
effect"
Newbro's Herpicide will do this in every
case. 1t is also a delightful dressing.

The Rstort Courteous.

Once 10 q while one finds q street
car conductor who is inclined to be
just little bit gay.
A few days ago a youth, plainly
from the country, boarded a Farnam
street car in Omaha, and after the
Car started he spoke to the conductor
"Do you know Mr.. Atwater, sirf"
The conductor winked at some men
on the platform and replied:
ultimately. Are you going to
strike him for q jobf"
"Yes. SIR" replied the youth.
"Well, if I wasn't 80 busy managing
this railway company I'd 60 over with
you and recommend you" said the
conductor.
"Much obliged, sir, but rather you
wouldn't. You see want to make q

And the conductor was so ratified
that he rang the register twice as a
signal for the motorman to 60 ahead.

Liquids Americans Consume.

Somebody who has been computing
the quantity OF the liquids consumed
by the American people within q
twelvemonth has found that We drank
last year enough tea, coffee, wine,
beer, liquors and other beverages to
cover an area of land two miles square
to a depth OF ten feet-a lake large
enough, it was suggested, to float sew
eral navies of the size OF our own. The
amount of alcoholic beverages alone
which were necessary to satisfy the
national thirst during this period
would fill a canal 100 miles long, 100
feet wide and 10 feet deep.

ADUTY OF CITIZENSHIP.
Intelligent Action and Cooperative Effort Ars
Needed.
BY BYRON MILLETT.

Bl 1hON MlLLEIl.
The people need education more Oh
economic lines, than on political ques-
tions. In order to bring about the
best results, the masses should act in
telligently. To do which, they must
learn to think right, as acts proceed
from thoughts. If a man thinks
iguorantly, or carelessly, he will act
that way. We may elect the best
men to Office, but if we do not give
them our moral and intelligent sup
port. and cooperate with them to ad-
vance the welfare OF the community,
the administration Of public affairs
will be a failure. In the last analysis,
when things 60 wrong in that respect,
the blame lies with the people, who
must act discreetly, if they would have
conditions in public matters improved.
In the divine economy, every individual
has his place. No other human being
can fill it. If he fails to do his duty,
the social organism has slipped q

investigation, that there have been
many slips in our local affairs, which
is more attributable to ignorance than
malice. The question arises, shall We

Our taxpayers league affords our
citizens an excellent opportunity as a
school for intelligent action. Unless
we do get awake and move, matters
will 60 from bad to worse; more people
will either neglect or refuse to pay
taxes; the county will have more
property taken from the tax rolls; the
property that remains thereon will
have to bear additional burdens. Then
other owners will throw up their
hands and the county will become q
big landlord, and more officials will be
required to collect the rents. This
county now owns q great deal OF prop
erty obtained by delinquent sales,
which will not bring, at public sale,
the outstanding taxes. interest and
penalties assessed against it. These
evils ought to be corrected aud can be

ought to be auxiliary clubs formed in
the various precincts of the county.

matters. which come nearest their fire.

might brush up on some subject Of
special interest and give the audience
talk, or read an essay on some topic
of special interest. We are never too
old to learn. II We should so conduct
ourselves, we would learn better than
to be fooled by glib-tongued petit
