Statute of Limitations.


IN'THE course of human events and during that
period when the tide of persecution reached it's
highest mark, there must have been crying need
for such law the statute of limitations. But
recently, and especially during the past year, this
law has enabled many to escape the hands of justice
who have committed divers crimes of fragrant
nature. We doubt whether those who framed this
benevolent law imagined that it would be evoked
to shield evildoers But such is the case.
The man whose superior cunning enables him
to hide his populations for certain length of time,
and then escapes through the 1nstrumentaty of the
statute of limitations, is not entitled to any such
charity. He should be dealt with in the same man.
petty criminals Of lesser influence are dealt
with. There can be no difference between the man
who is caught in the act, and the who con-
ceals the evidence of his crime for specified period
The fact that so many persons shrewd enough to
evade detection for given time, amply demon
strates that the statute of limitations has become
antiquated It is sorely in need of revision, else
repealed; for as it now stands it enables many law
breakers to profit by it,

State Board Makes Investigation of
Kansas Emblem

1lcIa
r. D. co.,firn. secretary Of the Kan
sas state board of agriculture, has
started to work gathering statistics
and other information regarding the
sunfower and drring flfe winter will
make an effort 10 have the two Kansas
experiment stations and the agricul-
tural college take up the culture of the
sunfower. says Topeka special dis
patch to the Chicago Inter Ocean. For
some time 3Ir. Coi5Trn has been receiv-
ing letters and inquiries about the
uses to which the sunfower can be
put Ii the sunnower is useful and the
seeds marketable Mr.. coburn is going
to learn all about it. lie hopes to have
the experiment stations make series
of experiments which viii determine
the best varieties. the means of culti-
walton and the method of preparing
the seeds for market.
Mr.. coburn has sent out a mum Der of
inquiries and has found that the seeds
produce an oil which makes the finest
of vegetsi.le soaps. The oil when prop
erly prep, red is edible and is of much
the same nature as olive oil and serves
the same purposes. Not very many
years ago the cotton seed was consid
cred worthless Now the oil is one of
the most valuable of food products.
The government has issued recently
a bulletin regarding sunfowers and
their uses, and Mr.. Coburn is working
to make supplement 10 this bulletin.
His work will be exhaustive and will
embody the experiments. 1t has been
found that the cake resulting from the
extraction of the oil contains more nj
trogenous matter than does a similar
linseed oil and is more palatable.
The government bulletin regarding
the oil from sunhowers says: THE oil
by reason OF Its palatability and sweet
ness Is well suited to table uses and
for this purpose can replace olive oil
with better success than other known
substitutes" II has been found that
the sunhower stalks when cut up form
very nutritious forage for cattle,
horses and sheep
Mr. Coburn has several patches of
sunfiowers which he is watching close
ly. j. " Wolff Of Burlingame is grow
ing about twenty acres of sunf1owers
for the seed, which he uses as feed.
Last year he harvested forty five bush
els of seed from three-quarters of an

nearly as well as in wet weather and
in sandy soils as we'll as in loan.

value of perforated sails.

Although the assertion recently made
by an italian sea captain that the pow
er of sails was increased by their be
ing perforated was ridiculed, it has
just been proved that he was right.
says the Leeds Mercury. His theory
was that the force of the wind cannot
fairly take effect on an inflated sail
because of the cushion of immovable
air that fills up the hollow. To pre-
vent the creat ton and presence Of that
cushion he pierced bis sails with many
holes, through which the wind blew,

ing against the canvas and exercising
its full effect. Several experiments
have been made on these lines. and the
results are declared to have been emf

MIX Fed Pumpkin.

A milk fed pumpkin is the latest de-
velopment in agricultural circles, ac-
cording to special dispatch from
Bloomington, ILL.,, to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Two pumpkins grown on the
same vine were on exhibition at the
Tazewell county fair. They stood
side by side, but one was ten times
larger than the other. The giant was
given a pint of milk per day, a hole
being cut in the vine which was at
tached to the stem. The milk was
completely absorbed overnight, The
small brother attained natural growth,
but the milk fed weighed 100 pounds.
