Thought Pressman Vas Needed.

Tie Salina Journal remarks
that when the Democrats nominal
ed Mr.. FEEDER for state printer
they probably thought the state
needed a pressman. As the
gentleman in all probability pro-
nounces his name 'Fader." the
Democrats evidently didn't want
a candidate whose colors would
resist the action of the SUMS rays.

AS he does not pronounce it
"Fader," and is not that kind.
but a slayer until the last edition
is off the press, the Journal has
another guess coming. W. f. 5.

POPULATION OF KANSAS CITY.
On the Missouri. Side 305,955, on The
Kansas Side 1856.

Kansas City, Mo-, August IL
According to the census of the
city, practically completed last
night by the Hoye Directory
Publishing company, Kansas City
has a population of 3O5, ,955,
against 297, PAS at the same time
last year Or a gain of S,7lO per-
sons.
The following method is appli-
ed to obtain the population: The
directory contains a total of
1929 names of people who live
III Kasas City proper. From this
number 1897 we're counted
out, >" because they represent firms
people living outside of the city
and similar cases. This leaves an
actual list of individual names
numbering totally 122,3S2. To
derive the population an average
multiple has been struck by
census statisticians and directory
compilerS. Some cities multiply
the number of individual names
by 3, or even 4. Mr.. Hoye,
however, uses the conservative
figure of 2R. Then by multiply
ing l22,3S2 by 214 a total popula-
tion of 3O5, $50 is arrived at.
Kansas City, Kans., made a
greater actual increase in its
population this year than Kansas
City, Mo. y The Kanass town has
a total population for 1906 of
1855. Last year its population
was 1892, showing an advance
of 1854 in favor of this year. In
the Kansas City, Kas., section of
the directory there are a total of
1926 names. OF these, 1888
are counted out" This gives
an actual individual list of 35, $50.
Multiplying this by 219, gives a
total population for 1906 of

ItTakes
Nerve

Everything depends upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion OF your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that Causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver TO secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if YOU feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take DR.. Miles Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
"Sot eighteen years DR.. Miles
Nervine and Antl-Pain Pills have been
my, close companions. Early in mar
ried life. while raising children, my
nerves became all worn-out-could not
sleep; had no appetite; indigestion
very bad. and had such awful dizzy
spells. Then began using DIR. Miles
Nervine. and at once I began TO i'm

perfect health"

The SANTA FE WHEAT TRAIN.
Railroad and Agricultural College
Working for Benefitof Country.

- ~~" VI SouhuJs
The Santa Fe Wheat Train, ad.
vertised to be here Friday morning
at nine o'clock. arrived about FIVE
minutes late from the west, and there
was very good crowd at the depot
to see and hear what the men with
the train had to say.
The party consisted of Prof. J. T.
Willard, director Of the experiment
station at the State Agricultural
College at Manhattan, J. H. Miller,
V. NJ. Shoesmith, Of the same institu.
tion and L. A. Fits. of the L., S.
Department Of Agriculture at Wash
ington, D. c. S. w. Black of the
Santa re immigration department, is
In charge Of the train and party.
There were two passenger coaches
fitted up lecture rooms, and both
were very well filed during the. short
time the party had here. In the car
where the Rustler man lit, Prof.
Willard gave good talk. He touched
on a number Of subjects, but devoted
most Of his talk 10 the necessity Of
choosing good seed and the proper
preparation Of the ground for plant
ing.
Prof. Willard exhibited a glass
case containing two compartments in
which were shown two cross sections
OF the soil, and the proper and i'm.
proper way to prepare the ground for
planting. In one side was the soil
finely Pulverized and prepared for
the seed bed, and in that the wheat
was sProuted and making a good
growth. On the other side the seed
bed had not been properly prepared,
there being large Jumps and clods Of
earth, and the wheat that was planted
at the same time the other was not
even sprouted.
He talked Of the necessity of renew
ing the activity ofthe soil by the rota.
ton Of crops and the use Of fertil.
izer, and stowe d figures to make his
statements clear as to the difference
in production when this was done and
when it was not.
The time Of the party here was
limited, and most Of the people in the
lecture cars would have been glad to
have had more time to hear about
the advantages Of the different kinds
of grain and the methods Of handling.
Mr.. Black said that the train was
ran by the Santa Fe company for the
purpose Of allowing the farmers and
others interested in the raising of
more and better grain to hear what
the experts had to, say. He said
that it was simply business propo-
sition with the railroad as the more
grain that is raised in this country,
the more hauling the railroads will
get to do.
There were several former pupils
of the Agricultural College in the
crowd this morning to meet their
former instructors, and hear what
they had to say.
The train goes from here up the
Scott City branch, and there will be
a night meeting both at Dighton and
Scott City tonight, giving short stops
and lectures at all the stations along
the line today.

Of rings.
A seal may always be worn. When

cornelian, an emerald or ruby, SO
long az they are set down in the ring
and are thus made inconspicuous, are

Il has frequently been questioned
whether diamonds should be worn in
