COCOANUT BUTTER.
y Table Compound to Be Made of
This Vegetable Oil.

A new butter is now being made
from the milk of the cocoanut. This
milk, when subjected to a temperature
of over % c.. runs into a yellow oil,
which is imported in great quantities
from India and Africa. The better
qualities of it are obtained from
Ceylon, Cochin China and Australia.
The nut produces 60 per cent. of oil,
and one acre of land planted with
cOcoanut trees would produce over
400 pounds of oil This has hitherto
been used for fats for soap or for ma
chinery oil. and the better qualities
employed in the manufacture of tex
tile goods In France this oil IS now
subjected to a special treatment and
converted into butter
DR.. Heuner, q, German chemist. pro-
poses to buy up all the cocoanut oils
and transform them INTO what ne
terms vegetable butter.

from cows milk, contains per cent.

from 25 to 80 times less water than
ordinary butter while its SlOWneSS in

it as with other butter Another adj

they're JEALOUS.
So Says DR.. Richards of Hear
ney County.
Why Others Say Beet Sugar
Bounty Isn't Necessary.
WILL ASH FOR $4,000.
Thinks State Should Continue
to Pay ST. Per Ton.
Whipping Post Bill Is the Lat
est Novelty.

DR.. G. c. W. Richards, of Kearney
county. is one of the men who think
that the time has not yet come when
Kansas can safely abolish entirely the
bounty on sugar beets. He has intro
duced a bill appropriating 900 a year
for the next two years to continue the
present bounty of 81 ton on all beets
yielding over 121a per cent of sugar.
Il realize that it is going to be hard
to secure from the legislature any APP
preparations which the ways and means
committee can find a reason to omit,
but so far I have succeeded in keeping
my bill alive before the ways and
means committee. Kearney county is
the largest beet producing county of
the state. Last summer we raised 5000
tons of beets, which We're shipped to
the sugar mill at Rocky Ford. If we
can have the state bounty continued
for two more years, to protect US III
case of crop failure, believe that the
industry will be so well eSta bliShed in
the state that it will stand alone.
Il understand that Diesem and some
others in Garden City are saying that
the appropriation is no longer neces-
sary. This is simply because of county
jealousy. Finney county people see
that we are producing the most sugar
beets, and they know that there is like
~ to be q sugar mill built in the county
which SHOWS Itself TO De the DeSL DeeC
producer. Finney is willing to cripple
the sugar beet industry for the sake of
holding back Kearney county. The
Kearney county beets are unusually rich
in sugar, the average being Is per cent.
The beets made about Is tons to the
acre last season. but that was an IN
usually good season. They are raised
by irrigation from the Arkansas river"
Dr. Richards says that he is in favor
of voting an additional appropriation
for the purpose of continuing the liti-
cation with Colorado over the question
of water rights.
There are some who think that row
will break out in the house of repre-
sentatives when it comes to a consid-
Grafton of Plumb's railroad bill. The
administration" is said to have de-
cided that it does not want a wholesale
revision of the railroad law; it is will
ing to patch up a few of the worst
places and let it go at that.
But the Plumb bill is one of the
wholesale kind. 1t comes with the en-
dorsement of the Kansas Federation OF
Commercial interests, and it is radical
measure If Speaker Stubs and his
friends try to strange the bill to death,

WOULD CUT SALARIES.
Senator Dumont Smiths Bill Affects
County Commissioners.

If the bill introduced in the senate
by Senator Smith, from Edwards, be-
comes a law the salaries of the mem
bers of the Shawnee county board of
commissioners win be reduced and the
salaries of the commissioners of sew
eral other counties will also be re-
duced.
Senator Smiths bill provides for the
amending of the laws of 1901, relating
to the compensation of the salaries of
county commissioners, and provides
for the repeating of all other acts and
parts of acts in conflict with his new
bill. This would wipe out the fees
established for commissioners in a few
counties by the legislature of 1903.
Senator Smiths bill provides that
the county commissioners shall re-
ceive 81 per day and five cents per
mile for each mile actually Travelled
and provides that the salaries shall
not exceed certain amounts, in coun-
ties of certain populations, during
any one year. This limit of the sal
aries to be received greatly changes
the present law.
The limit of the salaries to be re-
ceived in any one year by county COM
missioners as provided for in the
Smith bill and the limit placed by the
law of 1908, and now operative, are as
follows:

PEACE-BANZlA!


ments. of feudalism, with the Japan
of to-day, which has concluded the
most honorable and chivalric peace
the world has ever seen with a foe
superior in wealth, armament, armies
and experience in warfare, we think
we shall. find nothing in history to
parallel it; nothing which has hith-
erto afforded the world quite SO fine
an example of national greatness in
an hour flushed with the most rose
ate victory.
Let us glance at just one feature of
the peace just concluded-the matter
of the waving of the indemnity.
This lamentable conflict, besides all
the loss of life involved, has cost the
Japanese 1,8O0,O00,O0O yen, or
$900,000,000, truly stupendous
sum, and that to a nation which has
but just opened its eyes, as it were,
to modern industrial conditions
which make for national wealth.
Think of what it is going to mean to
the common people of Japan for
years to come-this foregoing of any
remuneration for the staggering
sums expended. 1t is going to mean
close living, low wages, innumerable
sacrifices, no end of going without.
1t is going to mean the diversion of
every cent of money anyhow availa-
BILE in order to repay the hugh ma
tional loans which it has been ncces-
sary to raise in order to carry on the
war. Yet these pluckv and heroic
people of Dai Nipponare take it
upon themselves to sacrifice the asked
for indemnity in order chat the star
of peace may again rise above the
horizon. so long buried with the
sinister clouds OF a most hostile
warfare, long drawn out.
But there are compensations. The
mills and factories of Japan were
never buster the japanese banks
are all solvent; agriculture is as
good, in its outlook, as ever
before the people are united and
contented Mutsuhito, the Emperor,
never more popular. Another COM
pensation, and one which assures
Japan a permanent high standing be-
fore the nations, is the high, honora-
BILE, unsel6sh, truly noble spirit which
led the japanese ENJOYS to consent
to peace on the self-sacrifclng terms
they did.
Japan heather nation 60 10,
Emperor William and all those other
hysterical prophets of a yellow

And what of Russia ? Torn with

content and armed mobs, she stands

eight months ago, upon the brink of
collapse her Romanoffs are no
longer regarded as demigods her
