he said:
"There are in London many places

NEW FLOOD REMEDY.
This Writer Suggests a Return Of
Hot Air Agitators.

For the Reflector.
Father Leary, writing for the Chap
man Advertiser, asserted the cause Of
our foods along the Kaw river was
due to the trees along its banks and
the hedge rows growing upon the
bottom lands.
This seems to be a new idea to
many who had formed an opinion
based on the reports in the papers,
that the cause was due to the Excess
sive rainfalls along its water shed.
The meteorological department Of
our government claims the floods
were caused by very heavy rains, SO
we can differ with Father Leary's
view with some strong support up.
holding US.
OF course he is right in advocating
the removal Of these distractions il
they are the real cause oue ~ II
would be costly undertaking and 1t
would dis6gure the landscape by
cutting off the few trees growing
along its course, could not o cheaper
and better method be found to pre-.
vent recurrence Of this disasterP
II the government report is right
in saying excessive rainfall brought
about the flood then Kansas should
get back to old conditions at once.
"Rain," says the SCIENTIST, "is
caused by vapor laden currents Of air
being cooled into drops which fall as
rain"
This being fact the cause for the
excessive amount OF rainfall in Kan
sas is due to too much GOODNESS and
by iudicious caro- this can be avoided,
by starting waves of shot air" to
vibrating on the plains.
Those who lived in Kansas during
the years from 1890 to 's6 know Of
the excessive amount Of "hot air"
kept in motion BY SO many statesmen
in embryo, how the clouds were
scared away and could not be induced
to gather and distill the welcome
showers even II invited, or command
ed to do SO by our would-be' rain
makers.
Now q drought is no more desira-
BILE than flood so we should exercise
care in producing the proper amount
of shot air."
The local shouters have become
quiet from some cause, and most Of
those Of renown have moved outside
the state and q strata Of GOODNESS pre-
walls where once were hot blasts Of
vapOr drying oratory. Where is
Jerry Simpson, and Mrs. Lease or
Mrs. Diggs or VIM. PETER, Gov
Leedy, John Breidenthal or many
others Of lesser note who did their
share OF pumping shot air" during
those yearsP Gone and let q cold
wave deluge the land they kept dry SO
long.
The way to prevent excessive rains
in this valley then is to hire some Of
these "ho. air" Agitators to come
back and take up the old refrain that
had such 3 drying effect in the years
Of their former efforts.
Let the trees stand until this ex-
pertinent has been tried and no doubt
Is will prove to be effective and
much cheaper remedy.

It's an old saying: the best adver-

1t happens to us continually in this
way: A man buys Devoe for his house
he has painted it once in three
years for dog Sage, and thinks he
knows what he wants buys 80 gal
Ions, and has 10 left.
He sees right-off that 20 Devoe is
as much. as 80 of anything else. He
likes that; it comes quick; it is a
surprise; and he tells of it. The
best advertisement is a pleased GUS
toner.
Three years roll round. There isn't
a sign that his house needs paint; he
don't paint it. Next year he don't
paint it. This comes slow; it is q
surprise; but he has got used to it.
