It is doubtful If another state in the
Union can show as bright a lot of
newspaper men as the state Of KAN
sas. There are some among the seven
hundred and more publications in the
state that one cannot brag about, but
the Kansas press as a whole is exceed
ingly high class
Three-fourths Of the counties in the
state have editors of high ability-men
who are leaders and who have the
power to attain distinction. Two Of the
Kansas congressional delegation are
editors. as are also two state officers.
And numerous others hold high oficiaI
positions.
But there are other able editors
whose work on their newspapers alone
entities them to distinction. Up at
Holton there are two such. NJ. M.
Beck and Frank farrell publish ex-
ceedingly bright papers. The exchange

DESTROY THE DODDER.

Here is a new danger for farmers to
become frightened about. Dodder is
said to be making inroads IN northern
Kansas. Perhaps you don't know
what dodder is. It is a parasitic plant
with a yeIIowish blossom. It springs
up from the ground but reaches out
its tendrils and fastens itself on its
neighbors. Then it dies at root and
lives exclusively off of the plants to
which it has attached itself.
There are some human dodders. but
these lines treat exclusively of the
plant variety. Mr.. Homer Kennett, Of
Concordia, sounds warning through
the Concordia Empire.
"Is" writes Mr.. Kennett TO the edi-
tor. you have the influence to scare
the farmers of this county into Kidding
it of dodder, you will do more for
them than all the politics that you so
ably handle.
ct never saw dodder until this year.
It has been in other sections of the
state for a long time. To those who
do not know it. it may be Identified

but what have seen thus far has been

Mr.. Charles E. Bessey the noted
botanist of the University of Nebraska,

that to eradicate it, it must be cut out
early and then see that no fresh seed
is sown
This means that it must be cut and

to fasten to and will go on to seed,
even keeping alive a long time on the
plant that is cut If kept from any
other. A broken branch carelessly

plant and grow.
Farmers would better cut all of
this at once, being careful to see that
none is left or any that is cut gets
away, and when dried a little. throw it
on burning straw pile ana let it be
consumed. BY all means see that
none of it seeds or your whole alfalfa
may be taken next year

Ever know of two men who got mad
over nothing and who either had a fight
or rushed into court to settle differences
that GOODNESS and good sese would have
enabled them TO settle in I'VE minutes?
Ever note how foolish they feel when
they realize what a small matter they
are quarreling about?
A case in point has just happened in
a southern Kansas county One farmer
had drilled some wheat for a neighbor
and charged him two dollars and eighty
cents for the work. The neighbor pro-
duced a counter claim. He alleged that
his creditor had .sood good for a third
man who had purchased wheat from
him to the value OF s4.69 The first
farmer got angry about it. but the
other man stood firm in his determine
ton to credit the $3.50 on the s4.69-and
the friendship between the men was
broken.
Then the $3.50 man announced his in
tention Of collecting his money anyway.
He was thoroughly angry and he pro-
posed to make the other man pay, re-
gardless of costs.

date for a new trial was set, but then
one of the parties fled a motion for
change of venue. The motion was
granted, and the performance began all
over again in another court. The case
was decided last week against the man
who brought the suit. but in the mean
time the costs have amounted TO about
SIS.
In another Kansas county suit over

for years and the costs amount to
several hundred dollars
Not very many men rush into court
over a $3.50 bill. but a good many people
get angry and do exceedingly foolish

who can keep his head and exercise
good sense when he IS tempted to

woods of Kansas newspaperdom are
full of men who turn out columns of
splendid stuff every week.
The editors of two Kansas pony
dailies. the Emporia Gazette and the
Atchison Globe have a national repu-
tation, and their papers are quoted
more than any other similar papers in
the United States-so far as the State
Journal knows.
Most of these Kansas papers are
money makers also. Such papers as

cordia, the Telescope and Freeman at
