Many theories have been advanced

getting your cotton directly to the
spinner upon the cheapest plans. But
sooner or later many Of these have
been shown to be theories only and
have offered no practical solutions Of
the problem Of direct trades with tho
Spinncrs of our cotton. All along We
have been bamboosclcd into the belief
that il was absolutely necessary to
have II tremendous capital put up for
this business. But after close study

A DREAM IN MARBLE.
MOST EXQUISITE BUILDING EVER
ERECTED BY MAN.
Mausoleum of Tai Arahal In India
Monument of . Husband's Love
for His wife-In 1t Art Reached
Its Perfection.

The most exquisite building ever
erected by the hands of man is the
Tai Mahal. which was constructed by
the great Mogul Emperor, Shah ia
han. at Agra, India. 1t marks a
great mans love for, woman-Ar-
1aland Banu Begun, his wife. Shah
Jahan was Mohammedar despot who
led magnificent life, aud had other
wives; but In his eyes the peer of her
sex was Arjamand. When she died he
declared he would rear to her memory
mausoleum so perfect that 1t would
make men marvel for all time. And
this he accomplished. More poetry and
pose have been written about the Tai.
With more illusions to 1t as symbol
OF love. than Of any other creation
marking human affecticn-and the
secret probably lies In the fact that all
the world loves lover. says writ ,r

SEVENTH YEAR OF
FAT FOR KANSAS

Topeka.-'Ihis is one of the great
est. If not the greatest, years in Kan
sas' history" said Secretary Coburn
the famous score keeper for the States
prosperity, to Topeka correspondent
the other day. "The farmers are get
ting the best of 1t. No mortals on
earth anywhere are SO well prepared
for happiness"
He had just completed his estimate
of practically 1O0,0OO,0OO bushels Of
high grade wheat as the crop of the
State this year. And this greht crop
the greatest raised by any State in the
nation--comes not after famine. but
as the climax of seven prosperous
years in which debts have been paid,
mortgages Cancelled, improvements Of
every sort added.
They are saving their wheat money.
Much of it is going into banks. The
State has bank to every 1884 people,
more than any other State. Hundreds
of them have farmers for shareholders
chiefly. Their only difficulty is to find
places to loan the deposits.
One country bank with $4,000 capt.
tai recently had 100000 deposits, and
three-fourths of this in cash, because
no one In the neighborhood wanted to
borrow It,, 1t was in the heart of the
wheat belt where 20 new banks have
been chartered in the past 90 days.
But they are getting good things out
of life, too. Why not with 100000 600
in cash for single crop?
Ten years ago house furnace was
rare in Kansas. Now the hardware
and plumbing wagons are scattered
through the country setting up fur
naces In farmers houses. Same way
with bath tubs, same way with tele-
phones. rubber-tired buggies, pianos
(not organs as of old), and all the
multitude of things that go to make up
prosperity.
In one littleatown 300 monographs
have been sold in the past year, at $40
to 500 each. In that county are 1900
farmers telephones of the 25 ru-
raj mail carriers make their trips dali
ly in automobiles. Every farm has
daily mail; covered wagons take chill
dren to union schools.
Wheat money is velvet more than
any other the Kansas farmer receives.
Only 1,650,0O0 people live in Kansas
though more are coming rapidly be-
cause of the promise of competency.
This Is about the same as Philadelphia
has. They have put $129,OOO,OO0 in
the banks and are addingto the amount
regularly. Think what 1t means to
dump $6o0o0,0OO in cash into thestate
from one crop alone.
