CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.

Topie.-Better work our society should
do teb. Vi. 7-t2; xii. 20, L.
Christianity has always stood fol
Pre- eess. No matter how high the
standard of personal life preached or
now efficient has been the active serv-
ice rendered, the command has always
Been Go forward. ""Let thine eyes look
right straight on" "Gsow in grace and
in the knowledge of Our Lord Jesus
sAgsst" Better things" are always
expected Of the Christian and OF every
organization formed for the advance
ment of Christ's cause. The old prinei.
lies ere never to be abandoned. but
while not neglecting the eternal truths
we are ever to advance in personal at
tainment and to better and more ell
CLEFT service.
Christian Endeavor has been espe-
cially particular to follow this phase
OF Christian life and service. Ii was
organized upon certain definite. per-
manent principles, and these have new
er for a moment been abandoned. bat
new lines of service have ever been in
anu ltN AitNAfai AAARaAA E0s-s=f1NA-
ed for carrying forward both the old
and the new work. One of the remark
able features of the Christian Endeav-
or movement has been the development
of new and attractive methods OF
Christian work. Ii has done much to
popularize mission work and made
revolution in missionary literature and
programmes.
The idea OF the comrades of the
quiet hour has had unparalleled sue
ssss In developing the devotional spirit
and habit The glory of all sugges-
tons for unique methods Of work has
been their practicability. Nothing has
been sensational or efferveseent. but
sensible and permanent. and the move
ment still calls for advancement. and
n Endeavorers should respond 10 the
call The quarter of century ami
versary Of the movement will soon be
1non us. DR.. Clark has asked En-
deavorers to celebrate it by leading
LOCO 900 souls TO Christ and giving
81, 100000 to missions through our de-
nominational boards. What manner
than this-the winning OF souls at
hDane and the spreading Of the gospel
abroad? Every Endeavorer and every
t0ndeavor society should respond 10
this appeal. Let us, above all. do bet
ter work in winning souls for Christ
and in advancing Christ's king ION
throughout the world And that we
may do this we must depend upon
One who is able and willing to make
us perfect in every good work to do
His will' and increase our personal
devotion TO Christ and the efficiency OF
eyery prayer meeting and of every
committee If we win do this the
work will be done and Christian En-
aeavor will receive new lease of ffe
upon which to start Its second quarter
of a century. May every Endeavop
society realize Its opportunl ty and rise
to meet ii, trusting in the Lord Jesus
Christ for strength"

"Thou hast all seasons for Thine own. oh
Deathr'
So suddenly that it doesn't yet seem a
reality, has one OF our mutual circle been
taken from us. Ruby, who always was
interested in the column from the first,
who has contributed TO its interests, and
whose cheerful presence added greatly to
the pleasures of both of our annual gath
erings at Camp Wyman.
The loss to US who knew her as sister
and personal friend, we would not meas
ure il we could. The years, whether they
be few or many, which remain to US, will
not cease to reveal to us how great that
loss is; for her life has been the exemplih-
cation of our motto-"hopeful and help
ness and suffering she did her utmost to
alleviate, and when happiness came to
others she reioiced with them.
Although for years she had been sub
ject to severe attacks OF heart disease. and
her friends had expected she might be
called suddenly from earth, yet we were
all unprepared for the sad news. After a
few hours of severe suffering during FRI
day night, at O'Clock in the morning of
Sept. 80, she passed peacefully away. One
our number, Narcissus, was with her and
the family during that last night.
To the sister, DAY who is one of our
circle, am sure the sympathy OF all will
be sincerely offered, and may the memory
of her useful, helpful life encourage us
all TO faithfuiness, cheerfulness and ready
service for others.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS.

Representative Brown is expected
home Saturday.
The 1905 Kansas legislature adiourns
sine die Friday noon, March 10.
Every platform pledge, except those
for new tax bill and a revised pri-
mary bill, was kept. On these two
bills 1t was impossible for the house and
senate to get together.
The miscellaneous appropriation bill,
one of the struggling measures at the
closing hours of the house, was so hard
up for votes to carry its passage that
the house allowed two members to vote
by telephone.
The Brandon congressional redistTict-
ing-bill was passed Wednesday This
gives the state eight congressional dis
tricts. Mcpherson, Harvey, Sedgwick
and Sumner from the old seventh, and
Butler from the old fourth district,
make up the new district.
The supreme court decision in the
Bailey grocery bill case, was cause of
house and senate action this week A
concurrent resolution was adopted alb
solving Governor Bailey Of his grocery
bill. The resolution may not be con-
stitutiOnal.
People who know most about past
legislatures OF Kansas say that Tor good
hard work and wholesome measures
passed, the 1905 legislature has clothed
itself with the greatest honor. It has
been in session about sixty days, and
has worked almost continuously, ses-
sions in the house lasting throughout
the day and until twelve O'Clock at
night.
The small democratic majority in the
house, feeling that Judge Clark, speak
er pro TEN. had given them a square
deal all round, held a little entertain
ment of their own the other day in the
presence of the house. They made
complimentary speeches about the
judge and then presented him with a
fine gOld-headed cane. Stubs was
present at the minority jubilee, but the
democrats left him out in the cold.
The house majority paid them back
later, and loaded down Walter Roscoe
Stubs with a table set OF cut glass.

A NEW HOME INDUSTRY.

n +. Wheatiey Has a Machine for Max
ing Ornamental and Artificial stone
H. F. Wheatley recently received a
machine for making artificial and orna-
mental stone for building purposes.
The stone is made of sand and Portland
cement in proportions Of about four to
one, and IS commonly called concrete.
The artificial stone made bythis process
IS Of the most enduring quality, and
improves with age. This process is en-
ployed in all large cities IN putting up
the most ornamental and costly build
iugs. It is no experiment, and will
meet a long felt want IN GOOdIand.
Plenty of sand can be found from three
to FIVE miles from town and the best
quality of Portland cement AMI water
are the only other requisites.
The drawback IN making brick IN
GOodland is the cost of coal to burn
brick, and a market sufficient to justify
the venture. But in the artificial stone
business the drawbacks are eliminated.
It can be turned out TO order, in small
OF large quantities as demand requires.
There is no surplus and no waste
The machine purchased by Mr.. Wheat
ley is made by the PettijOhn Bros, of
Terre Haute, Ind, and is called the
Hollow Concrete Building Block Ma
chine The machine is made of steel,
is not complicated, does not require
power, either Of lever, steam or hydrau-
lie character. It is simply an ingenious
and convenient mold, into which the
cement is tamPed. Besides the machine
proper, there are EsOme eighteen or
twenty pieces Of different patterns for
faces, angles, bevels, etc. With this
simple mechanism, Pilasters, cOrnice,
mouldings, ETC., can be produced.
Veneer mouldings are also arranged for
The fact that these blocks are hollow
is a decided advantage, providing for a
dead air space, for fues, cOnduits for
electric light wires, etc, being FIRE
proof, and providing for water, sewage
and gas pipes for upper stories, safe
from frost and the escape of poisonous
gases.
These blocks can be plastered on the
interior, saving lath and Plastering- All
these features strongly recommend the
process, and its adoption is only ques-

BEATS THE CAMPBELL SYSTEM
B HooRE MAKES REVELATION II
METHODS OF CORN CULTURE.
sherman County Man, After Years NJ TX
Perienee UnraveIs Corn Secret in West
err Kansas-Advoentes No Rota-
ton with Wheat

J. B. Moore, who has lived on his
ranch, twenty miles southwest Of Good
land for almost twenty years, trying al
ways to discover, not the tabled fOun-
tain Of Ponce de Leon, but the secret
Of success IN corn and wheat culture in
western Kansas, has found something
worth while, and the treasure Is the key
to walls Of corn"
The Moore system" of corn Produc-
ton was last week printed in the Mail
and Breeze magazine, and here It IS,
simple and successful:
Eighteen years experience here on
my 40 acre farm in extreme western
Kansas-II miles east Of the Colorado
Iine-has taught me a system in raising
corn that far exceIls ''the Campbell
system" in this, the semi-arid west,
and makes If possible to raise a good
corn yield every year with certainty
after the first few years that the system
is followed. 1 am at a loss to know
what to call the system, and you may
caIIit the Moore, - ''the One Crop" or
the Continuous Cultivated Crop Sys-
tenn OF what you please. The secret
IS, to never rotate with wheat or small
grain, or other than a summer cultiva-
ted crop. 1t IS corn after corr" or
corn after cane broom corn, Kafir
corn, OF any cultivated crop the same
as corn IN rows. After this within q
few years you have perpetual moisture,
and IN 10 or IS years there viii be as
many feet or more Of wet subsOil as
there have been years of corn or cult
waited cropping
On the other hand with small grain
rotation, and broadcast forage cropping
there will not be over Is inches of wet
subsOiI on an average all through the
IS years Of such rotation in this semi
arid country. Here we use a medium
sized white corn grown here for a long
period that has adjusted its breeding
in conformity with our climatic and
soil conditions and which can be planted
with certainty corn after corn" in the
following manner: List in fairly deep,
float Just as soon as a three-bOard plank
er will work and not clog. Use a weed
cutter at least once, cutting to the cen
ter of a ridge which is equal to the
ground all Plowed and makes plenty Of
fine dirt for mulch. Harrow as soon
after each rain as possible, and once
per week in dry weather until it must
be Cultivated TO kill weeds and fully
level the ground. One or two cultiva-
tons will suffice.
I have never had to use a hoe and
have never had a weed to go to seed in
my cornfeld with the above tilling.
The corn tassels in a hurry and silks
out so fast at the same time that the
corn worms get left. A hot wind may
wilt the corn through the day but the
next morning It has never failed to
stand as erect as a militiaman and will
produce from 10 to so bushels per acre.
