A SeaSOnabIe Offer.

The successful business man Of the
city reads his trade paper as a part Of
his business and thus keeps posted in
bis territory. The successful business
man In the country selects as hi
trade paper that agricultural or live
stock journal which gives him inform
alton In regard to the cllmatel and
soil conditions under which he must
work. This Is why the Kansas Farm
er has for fOrty-two years been the
great farmers text book Of the West.
1t is published In Kansas, by Kansas
men, and for Kansas farmers. 1t
maintains departments In agriculture
live stock, Horticulture, poultry, diary,
household, apairy, young folks, and
the markets, each Of which are edited
by an expert.
We are glad to announce that we
have just made ARRANGEMENTS by
which we can furnish this great farm
paper and the Herald both for one
year, for only sl6O. Write postal
card TO Kansas Farmer Company,
Topeka, KanS., for sample copy and
mention the Phillipsburg Herald.

Kemp's Recital.

The recital given by Everett e..
Kemp at the Presbyterian church
Friday evening was an excellent num-
Der and gave very general satisfaction.
Mr.. Kemp furnished the first number
Of the lecture course for 1sO4-O5 by the
recital of Hollands "Seven Oaks "
The story is fascinating and the
characters were we'll represented by
Mr.. Kemp who has marked ability as
an imperSonator The attendance
was fairly good, but not as large as
desired. There are still number of
choice seats in the room which ought
to be taken before the next number,
which will be given in about three
weeks. No one can afford to miss
these entertainments, They are the
cheapest and best tina can be obtained
and there are better numbers coming.
The lectures by John Merritte Driver
and Herbert L. Willetts are the best
ever procured for this place and we
sincerely hope that everyone who
possibly can will avail themselves Of
the opportunity to hear them.

REMARKABLE STATISTICS
Compiled by F. D. Coburn of the Pro-
ductiyeness of Western Kansas.

Less than five decades ago, that por-

part of the "Great American Desert"
The suggestions Of its ever becom
ing agriculturally productive enough
to sustain even the few reckless 'front.'
iersmen who might cast their lot
there, was jeered at by the shortsight-
ed wiseacres of the east. Horace
Greeley, in his famous advice to young
men to leave the OVer-crowded cities
of the east, and "go west" tabooed
this region now so productive OF
wealth. If 1t is human to err, that
such eastern forecasterS were intensly
human is borne out by official stats
tics as follows:
The winter wheat yield of 1908 in
the section indicated was 73, 39,7l9
bushels, or 70 per cent of the entire
states ld-beating yield, and Is 4
per cent Of the total yield of all the
United States. In other words this
''Semi. arid" fraction of Kansas pro-
duced in single year 2,O35, 900 bushels
more winter wheat than the combined

Newspaper Laws.

The following is a synopsis of rul-
ing of the United States supreme
court in important cases regarding
newspaper subscriptions:
l. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are consid-
cred as wishing to renew their sub
Scriptions.
2. II subscriber order the discontin-
uance of their periodicals, the pub
Usher may continue to send them I'M
Til arrearageS are paid.
3. II subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the
post Office to which they are directed
they are responsible until they have
settled their bills and ordered the
paper discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
er and the papers are not sent to the
former address, subscribers are held
responsible.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the Of
flee or removing and leaving them un-
called for, Is prima facie evidence Of
intentional fraud.
s. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give NOTICE at the
end of the time If they do not wish to
continue taking 1t, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send 1t and the
sue Scriber be responsible until an ex-
press notice with payment Of all ar
reages are sent to the publisher
I. The latest postal laws are such, a
newspaper publisher can arrest any
one for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under the law
the man who allows his subscription
to run along for some time and then
orders it discontinued, or orders the
postmaster to mark it refused" and
have a postal card sent notifying the
publisher, leaves himself lab TO ar
rest and tine, the same as for theft.

bright, intelligent girl. She attend

THE RESULTS OBTAINED BY HIS
NEW METHOD OF TREATMENT

In the permanent relief to people
who have suffered for years from sick
and nervous headaches, neuralgia, in
digestion, constipation and nervous dis
orders is remarkable when it is con-
sidered that he has accom- plished these
remarkable results entirely without
the use of drugs or medicine Of any
kind. 1t is found in thousands of in
stances that these nervous disorders
are due entirely to nerve strain caused
from some defect Of the eye or to an in
sufficienoy Of one or more of the ocular
muscles. These defects and insufficient
cies can be corrected permanently by
new method of lens treatment. Han
dreds of persons who have scarcely no
direct trouble with their eyes aud have
taken medicine continually with only
temporary relief find upon careful ex-
animation of the eyes that their dis
comfort, sickness and misery Is due,
wholly to strain on the muscles of the
eye, and when these defects are cor
rected the trouble disappears entirely.
