The sunshine fingers through the year.
Though winter skies be chill and gray.
From time to time there win appear
A welcome wanderer fraught with cheer.
A glad and smiling sunny day.
Just as the summertime pervades
All seasons, spite OF wind or snow,
The JOY that smiles awhile and fades.
Like sunlight battling with the shades.
Is more than all the griefs We know.

IN THE WHEAT BETT.

Conditions are extremely satisfac-
tory in the Kansas wheat belt, notwith-
standing the pessimism that was
spread around over the landscape six
weeks ago. At that time the farmers
reported that their prospects for a big
wheat crop had deteriorated 1S per
cent in two months. Notwithstanding
that. yields of from twenty to thirty
five bushels per acre are exceedingly
common, while the average will be
considerably above what was expected.
But the big thing about this years
wheat crop is it's quality. Better wheat
for milling purposes was never grown
on the Kansas prairies, taking the crop
as a whole. There will be consider
able No. 1 wheat this year, testing
sixty-three pounds to the bushel or
better. A great amount of the crop is
a fine quality of No. 2, while No. 8 is
comparatively scarce. A year ago it
was nearly all No or worse, caused
by the bad weather during harvest.
A Mcpherson miller stated recently
that bushel of wheat this year will
make 20 per cent more flour than
would bushel of last years wheat
This is the important thing. In other
words If wheat were worth rs cents a
bushel to a miller last year, on the
same kind of a -four market it is worth
ninety cents this year, simply because
the miller can get that much more
-four out of 1t. 1t is worth even more
than that, for the quality of the flour
from this years wheat will be such
that 1t will build up the demand for it,
and a miller can afford to pay some
thing to build up a market and create
= llama nd for his F70Tr
Following the government reports
of good wheat crops elsewhere the
price has gone down more than the
farmers of Kansas could wish. but it
may rise again.
Wheat isn't the only thing in the
wheat belt. There is every indication
for pretty fair corn crop, and other
things are also doing well. AS a mat
ter of fact it is doubtful if the Kansas
farmer ever had a better year than

"a. r.. BROWN

If Kelly can't get a surety company
to take his bond, perhaps he can hunt
up "A. r. Brown and get some valua-
Bile assistance at a time of need. This
man Brown seems to have been a
moneyed man as he turned in a thou
sand dollars or more to the state treas
ury without even being asked for it.
Hutchinson Gazette
And without anybody knowing that it
WAS missing from the treasury except
the state accountants and two or three
people in the state treasury. The state
accountants could not find that the
money had been credited anywhere, and
they began to make inquiries about it.
Then a, bank draft came in the mails
to the state treasury accompanied by a
letter signed "A. r. Brown" explaining
briefly that this was the remittance for
the Garden City interest. The money
had been paid to the state fiscal agency
in New York over a year before and by
the state fiscal agency rexnitted to
Kelly. Kelly has never told who "A. r.
Brown is or how he came to have the
money.
And, by the way. there were two 9TH
er remittances made to Kelly at the
same time the Garden City money
was RENTED. This was not discovered
by the accountants tilT long after the
Garden City shortage was discovered,
and "A. r, Brown" has not yet returned
these.
In these instances there can be no
claim that the statute of Limitations has
run, because the remittances were made
in August, 1908. If Governor Hoch let's

counts few weeks longer. however,

THE DIFFERENCE

IT'S a peculiar thing says the
Hutchinson Independent, that the fell
lows who are pounding Tom Kelly for
having the state money in banks are the
very ones who howled loudest last fall
because the money was not left in the
banks. On the strength Of their 'hol-
ier' a law was passed by the last legis-
lature requiring state money to be left
in the county in which 1t was collect
ed
Exactly, with this difference:
Kelly deposited the money contrary to
law in a bank where more than half a
million dollars of it could be loaned to
his personal friend and bondsnan, by
which it is commonly supposed that he
prohted. The deposit in the First Ma
tional bank alone would have Melted
Kelly over $4,000 a year at 2 per cent,
and he had nearly as much more strung
around in other banks, contrary to law
and much of it without particle OF
protection.
Under the plan which KelIy's op-
ponents proposed no bank could have
more than 100000 of the states money,
and it would be amply protected by the
bank depositing with the state sufficient
securities to cover the entire deposit;
and the interest would go to the state
instead of to the treasurer.
This and the plan of leaving the
general revenue fund in the county de-
positories until needed by the state
passed the house in the legislature of
1903. The latter was made part of
the tax bill and was adopted by the
joint committee as the Francis amend
ment." Yet Fred Dumont Smith. one of
Kelly's personal friends in the senate.
in making up the report of the joint
committee eliminated this amendment
without any authority or the knowledge
of any other member OF the committee.
When asked why he did it Smith is re-
ported to have said that he didn't be-
lieve in interfering with the perquisites
of the state treasurer" And the senate
dominated by Kelly. refused to pass
either measure.
