factor in his trade.
The thing to do Is to do it now! Make
your investigation, satisfy yourself OF

conditions over which the East has no

WHY WICHITA ATTRACTS (

Special Correspondence,

F. WICHITA, Kan, Nov. 8.-The present
contention between pro-rate and anti
rate, factions contending for the control
of our ationalf congress with a viewsto
establishing satisfactory law regulat-
ing interstate commerce grows out Of the
movement westward of manufa curing
industries very largely. Those already
established in the West are meeting with
such success that others are being at
tracted. The older factories in the East
and In the middle states are beginning
to feel the INFLUENCE Of those invading
their territory from some advantageous
point located near a large body of con-
sumers, and are either preparing to emu
late the forerunner or offset his advan-
tsge to some extent by preferential
freight rates. This latter method can
only result In temporary and partial re-
Lief, for the man ION the spot will al
ways enjoy an advantage of the one&a
long distance away, both in cost and time
Of transportation. e.. "
The city of Wichita presents one of the
| most fiattering prospects for the location
OF jobbings houses and manufactures of
any city in the West. Many raw materi-
| ais are on the ground, as it were, and
| others are located SO near by as to make
l:the cost Of securing them only nominal.
On the other hand, by the present and
! growing system OF railways every sec
! ton Of the great, trans Missouri territory
| is easily accessible from Wichita. In
the role of a distributing center she is
unsurpassed; her jobbing territory is the
most exclusive and the richest in natural
| resources. The great wheat belt of Kan
Esas and Oklahoma lies at her door. The
cornfelds and stock ranches, from whence
are drawn such marvellous supplies of
beef, pork, and mutton, surround her. The
wealth producing power Of the SouthW est,
while already appearing fabulous. is only
| in its infancy. Time will demonstrate
the ACCESSIBILITY of converting many OF
the large cattle ranches into small farms
thus not only increasing the population
but multiplying it's productiVeness many
fold. In modest way Wichita has al
ready become something of a manufac-
turing town, while her jobbing interests
are we'll and firmly este blished ontmany
lines, running into the millions annually.
The successes already met with war

! eminently the first city Of the Southwest

CUSTER CITY, Ok, Nov. Tone of the
nrst questions which the stranger COM
Ing TO this section of the country asks,
after going through our agricultural
lsn0s, is: = - "
Why, you seem to grow as good corn
ano wheat here as we do in the Northi l
Always thought your climate was too dry
down here for the successful cultivation
Of the cereals ..s.--- .-'.
That seems to be more or less general
opinion among strangers, but it Is one
that Is without the slightest foundation
IN fact. No better crops of the cereals
are raised In any part of the country than
here, and the yield can always be depend
Oh upon. During the past season as fine
fields OF corn could be seen around Custer
City as could be found in Illinois or Iowa,
which have for years boosted of their
supremacy.
Country Of Diversified Crops.
One OF the greatest claims of Oklahoma
as an agricultural country, however, is
the diversity OF the crops which 1t is pos
sible to grow here. This is made possible
BY the length Of the season, and there
fore, If one crop fails, another can al
ways be planted in time for 1t to mature.
With the shorter seasons of the North this
Is never possible. a5,> - -. -,
Aue past season mas Deen one OF great
prosperity, in nearly every part Of Okla
homa, and as a consequence the farmers
have plenty OF moneyLto spend and are
making many improvements. The corn
! and cotton crops especially have been
good, and cotton is bringing good price.
The market at present is 1926 hundred
In Custer City, and returns from an acre
OF cotton at that price range from SIS to
$40, which makes 1t a profitable crop for
| the farmer to grow.
Heavy Wheat Yield Predicted.
There has been large acreage sowr

What Sulphur Does
For the Human Body in Health
and Disease. 1855

The mention of sulphur will recall to
many Of lis the early days when our
mothers and grandmothers gave us our
daily dose of sulphur and molasses
every spring and fall.
It was the universal spring and fall
g blood purifer;y'~, tonic and cure-all,
and mind you, this old fashioned remedy
was not without merit. =
I The, idea was good, but the remedy
crude and unpalatable and a large guam
tity had to be taken to get, any effect.
Nowadays we. get all the beneficial.
effects Of sui hur in palatable, con-
centrated form, so that single grain
is far more effective than tablespoon
full Of the crude sulphur.
In recent years, research and expert !,
ment have proved that the best sulphur
for medicinal use is that obtained from
Calcium Calcium Sulphide) and sold in
drug stores under the name of Stuart 8
Calcium Waters. They are small choco-
late coated pellets and contain the
active medicinal principle Of sulphur in
a highly concentrated, effective form.
Few people are aware Of this form
Of sulphur in restoring and maintaining
directly on the liver and excretory
organs and purifies and enriches the
blood by the prompt elimination Of
waste material.
Our grandmothers knew this when
they dosed us with sulphur and molasses
every sprinr and fall, but the crudity
and impurity Of ordinary flowers of
sulphur were often worse than the
disease, and cannot compare with the
modern concentrated preparations of
sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium
Waters is undoubtedly the best and
most widely used. H. :: i"
They are the natural antidote for
liver and kidney troubles and cure con-
stipation and purify the blood in a way
that often surprises patient and physi-

NOTED FINN DEAD
In Demise of Edelfelt Finland Loses
Greatest Painter. @

Greatest PalnIer. -
In the, death of Albert Edelfelt, the
Finnish artist who passed away last
month. Finland loses her first great
painter. He was intensely patrlotlc,
and being an artist of rare skill, did
much to make Finland known.
Edelfelt was educated in Antwerp
work was done in the latter city. He
received more thoro training than any
one of his predecessors. He studied all
STYLES and schools of painting, including
old Italian and Renaissance art. and
was for a time under the influence OF
ultramodern tendencies. Yet he re-
NAMED independent and national to
the end, and once he refused even pro-
fessorship in the St. Petersburg acad-
emv Of arts because he feared his free
dom of activity would be limited by
that relationship.
His first picture was exhibited in
Paris in 1877, when he was but % years
OF age. It was called creme Blanca, J,
and was charming and delicate, and of
exceptional finish for a Finn. Its sue
cess was pronounced, and a year later
he had larger and more ambitious can

amazed at his power and fecundity and

In 1882 he exhibited picture. Re

for it's noble sentiment and35quiet
beauty. 1t was as characteristic Of the
piety and pathos OF. Finnish life as
Millet' g famous painting is of French
life. Another national picture of NOV
ing beauty is Washerwoman.' .
Later Edelfelt chose religious themes
Of universal character, but he man
aged to put national color and spirit
into them. Thus his =" Birth of Christ

nish cottage, while "Christ and Mag
dalen'' represents Finnish peasant CIR
on her knees before shepherd (Christ)
In ancient Finnish fables the painter
found authority for these pictures.
Edelfelt loved the lakes and woods Of
Finland her long and severe winters
her sad atmosphere, her heroic struggle
with nature. He did in painting for he1

MONSTER CHALK BED.

For many years commercial compa-
MES have been quarrying chalk along

feet Of boulder bearing clay. The earl
Ter biologists we're greatly puzzled by
the position of these chalk beds, since
they belonged to an colder formation
than those which ordinarily occur in
southern Sweden, and should, therefore,
have been under them. But here the Or

older formations appeared above the
younger. "S.;:s -.
The riddle is now solved by the dis
covery that this whole mass, three miles
long and one-ffth of mile VIDE, anu
from 100 to 200 feet in thickness, mas
been torn from the shores or the bed OF
the Baltic and transported bodily to It's
present position, thirty or forty. miles
inland. For, in most places, glacial till
is found to underlie it and separate 1T
from the newer rocks which form the
substratum of the peninsula: 1t should
be said, however, that the chalk every
where show indications of immense
pressure and disturbance.
The upper portions have been sheared
off and often mingled with bands OF
boulder clay, while most of the abund,

and arranged in lines or belts showing

The soil is thoroughly titled and pre-

further retarded by continued tilling OF
