It Pays

Chanute has been short on butter
and eggs for a year. What is the
trouble2
Thousands of dollars worth per
year used to be shipped out, but
now as much is shipped in.
We know the demand is much
greater but the supply is much less.
Can it be that the farmers wives
have gone daffy on oil, like the
men1 They formerly looked after

The Kansas Day Club

The Kansas day club banquet
held at Topeka on Monday night
of this week was quite a success.
There were not so many in atten-
dance as sometimes but the speeches
were good and the banquet better
than usual.
DR.. Vernon, the negro, as was
expected, made the best speech OF
the occasion. His address was
eloquent and lagical, Gov. Hoch
made a few remarks on the legisla-
ture that are very much to the
point, as follows:
81 have been acquainted with
many Kansas Legislatures and have
never known one to come together
with such determined effort to
serve the people. In the next 80
lays, | believe, they will save the
people $50, 900 to $40, 900 in legis-
alive expenses. l believe they will
S ave the price of a good printing
plant in the next two years by pass
ing law for the purchase of state
printing plant. l believe they will
save the state S25. 900 to $50, 900 a
year in the passage of law govern
Jog the deposits of the state funds.
[ believe they will pass a primary
election law. l believe they will
give the state some REASONABLE but
not radical railroad legislation. L
believe they will take that monster,
the Standard Oil company, by the
throat and say to it, You must be
decent, believe this Legislature will
redeem the pledges the Republican
plrty made at Wichita. If it will
do all of this, it will not be ,neces-
sary to have a a platform when they
go before the people to years from
now."
The newly elected officers were;
Geo. E. Tucker, president; w. H.
England, secretrry; with vice
president from each congressional
district.

ept the town more than supplied.
But it seems now many of them
ave turned tie cows dry and ne
4iected the prolific hen right when
rices are out of sight.
We have some exceptions to this
uie, hoAcver, that ar pleasing.
We have just received report
rom Mrs. Bebbington, the wife of
a prosperous and well to do farmer,
Robert BebbIngton, on rural route
a, who does not seem to be ne
glecting the hen. She reports that
she sold, last year, 1924 dozen eggs
prices ranging from nc 20 26c
ger dozen, for which she received
$I57.24.
She hatched out 400 little chic cks
and sold chickens and butter to the
amount of $40 50 besides what was
used In the family and furnished TO
her two children.
Thus she reaiized over 100000
from the product of the poultry and
the COW.
Probably others have done as
well or better. If they have we
would be glad to hear from them.
We hear it said that the COW and
the hen do not pay In this country
We think thai is a great mistake
where they are properly looked
after. If every farm in this locality
would turn off 5000 worth OF poul'
Try and dairy product and some o.
the specialists in that line good
deal more, think of what an i'm
mense wealth 1t would produce TO
the community.
We are greatly in favor of tn
hen and the COW as money produc
ers, They return larger per cen
on the investment than any othe
line of husbandry, and the skill c
the good housewife aud the servi
ces OF the. gjrls and children can b
drawn on to good advantage.
Dop't neglect the hen and the oil
COW. They are your best friend
and the quickest ready money
There is how ready cash deman
for all their product.

They heed not the cry of th
citizen or listen to his complaint.
They only say they will pipe out the
stuff and we can't help ourselves.
They talked very boldly for wbl
and gave us to understand that they
did not fear the Legislature or any
thing it might do, bnt now they
maintain a strong lobby at the
capital in an effort to thwart any
legislation that may be attempted.
1t mas been the public boast o
Col. O'Neal, the originator of the
scheme that he was not afraid of the
legislature, that he could buy them
up like sheep. 1t is about time for
the citizens of Kansas to wake up
to the necessity OF defending them
selves againstsuch schemers. Such
men would tainish the good name
of Kansas In addition 10 robbing her
of her products. Smooth tonguea
strangers are in the field deludlng
the farmers into the idea that a
pipe line will be greatly to their
benefit.
This pipe line company, if not a
branch of the Standard, is of the
same nature. 1t seeks to get foot
hold and will talk very plausible till
1t does and then the rights of the
farmer and land holder will cut no
figure.
We are surprised to see some oI
our Kansas cities siding with the
pipe line in the efforts that are being
made to protect Kansas products
from the greed of foreign corpora
tions. There is no intention on th'
part of the gas district to shut ou
cities of Kansas that happen TO b.
located out side, but to save th
gas for Kansas consumers.
They will stop at nothing tc
carry their point and care not how
much injury they do to the com
munity or 10 any citizen 50 long al
they succeed in their plans.
They are simply robbers and de
spoilers under the guise of corpo
ration. The farmer will get mex
to nothing for his product tina
should make him wealthy if mar
keted at a reasonable price.
They do not have to buy the ga
from the farmer who has not tiec
himself up but will steal it from
him by the use of heavy pumps i
he does not choose to take thei
price.
The people of Kansas have al
ways been counted a brave ant
liberty loving people and in favo
of fair play and it can not be tha
any set of legislators sent to 10
peka to legislate for the state vii
fail to protect this part of the state

1t is the duty of our law makers t
protect us from this great wrong

enced by the smooth tongue OF tn
5 hired lobbyist or the man VIII
would ruin us in the bare hop
that he might reap some sigh

i act in way to protect us, then
is a duty we owe to ourselves an
to our children to protect ourselves

people from protecting their right

BIG ATTRACTION
FOR CARNIVAL
Reno is Counting Much on Win

Ball Team

The Gazette says: Not the least Of the
many splendid attractions for the carni-
val wi / be the series of baseball games
10 be played on the End, 3rd and 4th of
July at the State park between the Over
lands and the fast Winnemucca team.
Unusual interest attaches to the series
on account of the singing defeat admir-
istered to the loca by the W.nnemucc !
aggregation the first time they visited
the city. The games will be for the State
championship and there will probably be
a handsome trophy for the winner.
The first game wi l take place Sunday
morning at 10 CLOCK, the next Monday
morning at the same hour, and the third
on the afternoon of the 4th at oc ock
All these games have been arranged at
an hour that viii not conflict with the
at ractions on the carnival program and
the people who witness them viii have
ample time to reach Reno at an nour that
will not be inconvenent.
