The farmer has Of late years been
turning a corner to better things. Ma
chinery and perhaps closer thinking
have largely caused the farmers TO
work less hard than formerly. The
young farmer today realizes that If

tensive farming is better than the old
method in many cases when there was
too large a farm
The young man realizes that If he
bUIvs a farm at present prices there is
likely to be an increase in selling val
ne instead Of the great decrease
which followed the changed cOndi-
tons of 1872 and a few years later.
TRANSFORMATION facilities have great

papers 70 our doors a few hours after

present life We get the news OF the

the old times when many farmers took

Became Wealthy Because He Was Too
Poor TO Get Away
A NJ SchauliS Of Sabetha, KAN
Nemaha county, was in GOOdland the
latter part Of last week He was
guest Of J F KimmeI and family
former acquaintance Of Brown and
Nemaha counties He is a wealthy
German farmer. and has an interest
ing story recalling the privatiOns and
hardshipS Of the early settlement OF
two OF the best counties in the state,
where land is now worth 800 per
acre
] F. KimmeI gives the following in
teresting facts in regard to his old
friend and acquaintance MI Schaulis
knew both Mr.. and Mrs Kimmel
when they were children
After the civil war MI SChauliS 10
Gated in northeastern Kansas Hard
times came on, crops failed, and many
settlers left the state DrOuth and
grasShOppers, and the poverty OF the
early settlers had given the state the
nickname Of Bleeding Kansas" Mr.
Schaulis' neighbOrs were preparing
to leave and urged him to go with
them He earnestly desired to do so,
but there was just one thing prevent
ed his leaving, and that one thing
made him very wealthy man.
He owed man $50, and, being
man Of honor, he didn't want to skip
OUT and leave that debt unpaid, and,
besides he did not have anything 10
go on. So he sadly declined his neigh
bOr's offer, for him TO accompany
them and stayed The result was he
became rich.
He now has 400 acres Of land worth
800 per acre, lives in the town Of
Sabetha, owns town property, tele-
phone stock, has money in the bank,
and copper mining stock in Arizona
He takes a trip west summers to look
after his mining interests in Arizona,
and, on this occasion, he stopped on
here to see his old neighbOrs. Any
one can draw the lesson from this
narrative, and thousands OF just such
cases can be cited to prove that stay
ing with Kansas pays.
These old timers all say that con-
ditions here in the extreme western
part Of the state are not really so
strenuous as those experienced in the
eastern part Of the state, and are firm
in their opinion that this country will
turn out in the same way The re-
mark that the soil here is naturally
equally fertile, and that thorough
farming and settlement viii work the
same change transportation facili-
ties are much better here now than
they were in the eastern part OF the
state in the early days.

CAUSE OF The NAIL DEFICIT
MISSOURI CONGRESSMAN AT
TACKS POSTOFFTCE METHODS
shown That More Than One-Half the
Weight Was in Equipment
Freight for Empty Sacks

Washington, April 1S--Representa-
tive James J. Lloyd Of Missouri a
democratic member Of the house com
mittee on pOstomces and pOstrOadss
today rfddIed the business methods OF
the postofice department and the sys-
tenn by which the railroads are paid
forty-eight million dollars for trans
porting the mails There has been an
inclination BY Mr. OVerstreet Of the
postal committee TO convince the pub
lie that the fourteen million dollar
deficit in the pOstOfice department
last year was due to the low rate on
second class mail matter-neWSpape rS
and magazines.
Mr.. Lloyd, taking the reports OF the
postmaster general and his assistants,
tried TO prove today that this argu-
ment was without any basis
The railroads have made a vOlun-
tary reduction Of freight and passen-
ger rates Of 20 per cent since 1880,
to be an automatic reduction OF mail
pay in proportion to the increase in
tonnage The government now pays
more money for carrying mail SackL
than is paid for carrying the mails"
More Than Half in Equipment
Illustrating his statement, MI Lloyd
read the following figures from the
report OF the investigation Of the rate
for mail transportation in 1SS9-the
latest report on the subject:
First class mail, nine million pounds.
Second class, thirty eight million
second class Gree. three million
Third and fourth class. fourteen
experiment Cfree), 9,21s, 200
Equipment. 1896, 600 pounds.
He then quoted a recent letter from
Mr. Shallenbarger, second assistant
postmaster general, who explained
that equipment" meant empty sacks
locks and other paraphernalia-
That year" Mr.. Lloyd resumed,
zone billion five hundred and sixty
five million pounds OF mail was car
ried, and only 40 per cent Of II was
paid matter; so per cent was free
government matter and equipment
There would be no deficit If the gov
eminent paid its own postage We
have been paying for the carrying Of
safes, desks, trucks and all sorts OF
freight at mail rates, and under the
present system OF weighing it would
take US four years, 4 we started now,
to get rid Of that incubus
Return Empty Sacks by Freight
1T is absurd to pay more for the
carrying Of empty sacks than is paid
for carrying mail. Reduce the num-
Der Of sacks; reduce the weight Of
sacks, and send them and other bulk
by freight and the deficit will be wiped
out
MY own conviction IS that second
class mail matter does not mean any
such expenditure to the United States
government, because nearly all the
first class mail IS the result Of second
class literature / am not in sym athy
with that idea Of the abuse Of second
class mail. Ny own conviction is that
the most important mail carried is
second class matter 1t carries intelli-
gence to the people, IL carries infcr-
nation 10 the people, it brings knowl-
edge to the great people Of this cOun-
try"
Mr. LlOyd's remarks were cut short
by the expiration Of his allotted time
He was requested to continue, but de-
Clined to infringe upon the time Of
others.
