AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.

This is the time of year that munich
pal elections occupy the center of the
stage in most Kansas towns. Hereto
fore 1t has frequently been a case of
wet or dry" but this year there seems
to be less of this wet or dry issue
than usual
This is an encouraging sign-that is,
it is encouraging that the question of
wet or dry does not overshadow every
other consideration in municipal gov
eminent. 1t would not be encouragin g
if this meant that things were growing
worse and that Kansas towns are be-
coming more and more wide OPEN" 1t
is rather encouraging because it indi-
Gates that the enforcement of prohibit
ton is becoming more settled and be-
cause people are paying more attention
to other issues which have an import
ant bearing upon good governments in
towns as well as the abolition of the
joint.
laxity in public officials regarding
the enforcement of the prohibitory law
is to be deDlored, for it cannot be de-
MED that it breeds lawlessness and a
contempt for law along other lines.
And when conditions become too bad
the issue of wet or dry is bound to
force itself to the 'front.' There are a
few Kansas towns In which this issue

on opinions, but there is no reason why
he shouldn't stand high as a disciple Of
the try, try again. doctrine.
The Atchison Globe: Several years
ago there lived at Coolidge a Well-to-
do man who retired from business.
Then he began looking around. EIe
looked, and looked and looked but
couldn't find anything that suited
him. OF course it cost him something
to live while looking around, and,
when he died of old age, it was dis
covered that he had spent all his
money on living expenses while look
ing around. He had worked quite
hard, too, looking around.
Fort Scott Republican: 1t would be
a mighty fine thing for Bent Murdoch
to declare that he would not ACCEPT
any place under Governor Hoch He
made the declaration last. fall, but now
tnat the election is over, he seems to
be leaning up to a job about as closely
as any of them.-Lawrence World
Why shouldn't he lean up to a job ?
That is what he started the Hoch
movement for. and insisted on push
ing it even after Hoch himself had
withdrawn from the race.
Strawberry marks on the left
shoulder are not the only sbirthmarks
in Kansas. That in some cases they
take different forms and appear later
in life the following from the Oakley
Graphic will show: A man appeared
on the street the other day with a
three-cOrnered scar on the side of
his face which looked suspiciously
like the print of the heel of a lady's
shoe, and when a friend who had not
seen him for a long time met and
with surprise asked, why, Jim. how
did you get that awful scar?' he re-
piled, "That is a birthmark.'' His
friend exclaimed, "Impossiblel You
did not have it when a boy" mo"
he replied, "but it is a birthmark, just
the same. You see, when was COM

on a sleeping car, and tried to get

now no TFsT Seed CORN.

The state Journal wishes again to
urge the corn growers of Kansas to
test their seed corn this spring. The
farmers of Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska
have taken up the idea and Kansas
certainly should not be behind. AS a
result it is probable that those states
will considerably increase their corn
Yields per acre this year. just as Iowa
did last year, and Kansas ought to lead
and not be behind the procession.
The Nebraska experiment station
has given the following directions by
which each farmer can easily test his
own seed corn:
"A convenient home tester can be
made by taking an old baking pan of
large size or a shallow tray made of
boards, tightly wrapping around it, at
intervals of about an inch and a half,
crosswise and lengthwise. a long piece
OF strong cord or light wire, and filling
it with fine moist soil or sand. The
surface of the soil or sand in the tray
viii thus be marked off into inch and
half squares. The squares may be
marked more permanently by fasten-
ing the cross wires in the sides and
ends of the tray. A tray of this kind,
two by three feet in size, Will be large
enough to make an individual ear test
of about five bushels of seed ears at
one time.
The test will not be complete I'M
less each ear is tested BY itself Take
five kernels out OF each ear. from
different parts, and place them in one
of the squares in the tester. pressing
them firmly into the soil. The ears
of corn should be so arranged in sin
gle rows on a shelf. table or floor that
the one corresponding to each square
in the tester can be easily located
After the tester is filled. moisten the
soil thoroughly, cover with an old
gunny sack to keep the surface from
drying and set in a warm place. but
