HARRY Shore is DEAD.
Passed Away Saturday Evening, on
Farm Near Seward.

At $50 p. m, Saturday, Jan.
18th, Henry Lomer Shore, better
known as Harry" Shore breathed
his last, after many months of
suffering with dropsy, aggravated
at the last with pneumonia.
Deceased was born in England,
and came to this country when but
a young man locating on a farm
in Champaign county, Ills. He
moved from there to Topeka, and
from Topeka came to Great Bend
with his wife and three step child
rem in 1887. Here he opened a
shoe store, but later went into the
butcher business, the firm being
Dickson & Shore. Two children
were born to him, a daughter,
now Mrs. Duke Wesley, and a
son who died young.
His first wife died about s or 10
years ago. He was married a few
years ago to Mrs. Gartung of
Stafford county, and it was on the
fam, 4 miles west of Seward and
about 20 miles south of Great
Bend where he died, at the age of
so years, II months and 13 days.
Deceased was a member of the
Odd Fellows and the Ancient
Order of United Workmen. He
was a jolly, whole souled man, and
although living a tempestuous
life, has many friends who will
mourn his departure from earthly
scenes.
Funeral service were held on
Tuesday afternoon at 300 at the
NJ. E. church, this city. Rev.
Green of the Episcopal church con-
Quoted the services at the church.
The Odd Fellows attended the
church services and administe red
the last rites of Odd Fellowship at
the grave.

High SCHOOL CONCERT.
One Of The Best Home Talent Enter
tdinmeDtS Of the Season.

A fair sized audience attended
the High School Concert at the
NJ. Z. church Friday night, and
all were exceedingly well pleased
with the way the musical talent
of our city schools deported them
selves, and with the excellent prog
ress shown in musical training
under the direction of Mrs.
Thomas Downey.
Every number was creditable,
and it would be hard to pick out
one that deserved more especial
mention than another.
The choruses were exceptionally
fine, considering the uncertain
range of young voices which are
Just developing. Praise Ye The
Father" was doubtless the best
executed of the numbers. 1t was
sang as a double quartette.
Music lovers who did not attend
certainly missed a treat. We are
told that there was not a member
of the city school board present.
If this be correct, it should be re-
GREETED by all, for the board men,
bers would certainly have appre-
ciated the concert.

COBURN ON KANSAS CORN.
Ee Lead the world in Corn as we'll as
in wheat.

Topeka, Kansas, Jan. 14.-Sec-
rotary Coburn, of the agricultural
department, today issued quar-
terly on corn. 1t contains 325
pages of mater of great interest
to corn growers. In his introduc-
tory the secretary says:
The fact that Kansas years ago
unlmpeach2bly attained first place
and worldwide fame as producer
of wheat mas from the first not
unnaturally had more or less the
effect Of Obsecuring from those
not keenly.s observant the states
prominent position in corn pro-
duCtion. A result of this is to in
cline those without knowledge
of the facts to the idea that such
a bulk OF wheat must be by far
the most important farm crop
Kansas farmers raise. Its fallacy
is readily exposed by statistics,
which, entirely impartial, reveal
that, compared in importance and
value with the corn, wheat is a
side issue, and one Of various
secondary items the worth of
which must be aggregated even to
approach the value of corn.
Speaking in round numbers, the
state has in the last twenty years
raised about 3OO,0O0,O0O bushels
of corn, worth on the farms
where grown over $3.50, 900, 900.
In ten years ending with 1904,
the value of Kansas corn rcops
was $106, 100000 more than that
of the wheat produced in the same
period, which included three of
the states largest wheat crops and
one of the smallest of corn. In
the preceding ten years, the corn
crop was worth nearly $2OO,OOO,-
600 more than the wheat. The
corn crop was worth over Sc, OOO,-
600 more than all other products
of the soil in 1902, and in two pre-
ceding seasons corn outValued all
other field products, wheat includ-
/ ed.
The value of the cop of 1902,
from only IL per cent OF the
states area, was sufficient to cover
more than five times the cost of
the entire Louisiana purchase,
and nearly eleven times as much
as was paid for the 1,722, 900
square miles covered by these two
Itransactions-the largest land
purchases recorded in the worlds
history.
1T is in the interest of the
state and her people who are max
ing and will continue to make such
stupendous results possible that
the information in this volume is
presented.
In Kansas, corn is the monarch
of her many cereals and the
barometer of her prosperity.

COmmOner "BraIn leaks"

Worry digs more graves than
disease.
The men who lead are those
who have learned to follow.
The boy who neglects his mother
will surely neglect his wife.
Some people never think of
charity until they meet with mis-
fortune themselves.
Big bluff" is as good as a big
stick" as long as it will fool the
people.
The hardest thing in the world
is to find an easy way of making a
living.
There is a difference between
being in the limelight and being
whitewashed.
1t is curious paradox that
many big regulations shrink IN
der the microscope.
Employees who think they are
only stealing their employers
time are really only robbing them
selves.
It's easy to get the reputation
of being a sport" and awfully
hard to get rid of it when you
realize how useless it is.
If men would quit talking as
soon as they finish telling all they
know there would be gradually
increasing spells Of silence.
A mother must have a fertile
imagination if she explains to
her little ones why she is making
a lot of garments too small for the
smallest of her children to wear.
The travelling evangelist can
talk plain because he gets his
money and goes elsewhere before
the people fully realize what he
has said. They would understand
the pastor on the instant if he told
them the plain truth-and the
pastor would be invited to quit.

A Big CLASS INITIATED.
Knights Of Columbus Have Many Visit.
OPS and a Grand Time.

The Knights OF Columbus affair
Sunday was very successfully con-
Quoted. A class of nearly forty
was initiated. The members and
candidates met at the M. w. A.
hall in the morning, and proceed
ed to the church in a body where
high mass was celebrated by the
home pastor, Father Schultz. In
the afternoon the degrees were
conferred Oh the candidates which
was followed by an elaborate BAN
Quet in the Moses Hall. Nearly all
of the members OF the local
council, accompanied 10y their
wives and others were present.
About Is visitors were present
from Wichita, Newton, Hutchin-
son, Salina and other points, and
the only thing to mar the entire
affair was the failure Of the Santa
Fe company to stand by their
original arrangement made at
Wichita for a special train 90
ing back for the visitors. Many
OF those who came were compelled
to take No. s, and those missed
the banquet.
Father Schultz preached an elo-
Quent sermon in the morning, and
on account of the lateness of the
train second mass was celebrated
for the visitors.
The first and second degree were
put on by a picked team from
Wichita, assisted by some of the
local members, and the third de-
gree was exemplifed by State
Deputy I. j. Coughlin, of Topeka
assisted by J. W. Gibbons of
Topeka, and others from Kansas
City. The degree work was ex-
ceptiOnally we'll handled, and the
entire class was pleased with their
treatment.
The banquet in the evening was
prepared by the ladies of the
council, and was the best ever
spread in this city. The decora-
tons formerly used were still in
the hall and everything passed off
nicely. The menu was as follows.
Oyster Cocktail Waters,
Olives Celery, Pickles.
Creamed chicken, en- Timble,
Scalloped potatoes, Cold Tongue.
Ham, Saratoga Chips,
Ice Cream, Sailed Peanuts,
Assorted cake.
American Cheese, Coffee,
Cigars.
Every detail had been carefully
looked after and the ladies and
committee having the banquet in
charge did themselves proud.
Toasts were responded to by C.
A. Hooper, Urban McGreeyey,
Frank Norris, Mic Berscheidt, W.
F. Klein, F. G. Strothman and
W. j, McGreevey, and P. E.
Murphy of this city, Ed. Gels of
Salina, Mike Sweeney of Pawnee
county, Frank Steinkirchner and

Jochems of Ellinwood, HI J. Rect
eel. j. T. Mcdonald and Mrs.
Mcdonald of Wichita, and ChaS.
jO'Loughlin of Kanass City favor
ed the audience with several songs.
Gahnstrom's orchestra rendered
line music during the evening
and the entire affair was one not
soon to be forgotten by the parti-
cipants, and certainly not by the
candidates.

The papers state that the State
Poultry Association paid out near
$1,000 premium money at the
show this year. Let us see: The
legislature appropriated $1,000 to
be applied to premiums, which
means that the State Association
itself paid about 5000. Do you
remember that the Barton County
Poultry Association paid close to
that in premiums this year. And
remember also that at the state
show there were over 1000 peo-
pie attended and paid admis-
sions, while at our own show
this year there were not over
100.

There is much talk in some Of

Back 10 The Farm.

A little incident occurred at the
Missouri Agricultural college this
week witch serves to emphasize the
fact that the new agricultural ed
ucation leads boys to rather than
from the farm. Students of the
old college gave a regular country
entertainment at the completion
of the new barn. The girls were
brought on a load of hay and good
old country games served for
amusement. This is one of several
recent occurrences which shows
that the boys of the department
have no desire to get away from
the best things of country life.
