For the first time in the history of
a labor bureau in st. Joseph, Mo-, a
woman, =. Bradley Floyd, of High
land, Kan, applied for labor as a
harvest hand. She contracted for a
job at shocking wheat at $3.50 a
day, and, accompanied by her hus-
band and others, started for the har-
vest fields of Western Kansas.

Mineral Wealth,

A rather surprising exhibit is made
In a table just published by the
United States Geological Survey, in
dicating the value of mineral pro-
duction in each of the States of the
Union for the year 1905. Most peo-
pie would fancy that the regions
which yield gold and silver would
hold the first place in such list. but
such is not the case. The figures for
Colorado 9,2SO.994" and Califor-
mia "$43,406.25S" are surpassed by
those for Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois,
Michigan, West Virginia, New York
and Montana, while those for Ala
mama "$53,5S5,2SS" come between
those which represent the yield of
precious metals. Coal, iron and ce-
ment quite overshadow gold and sill
yer.
These statistics have been pre-
pared in such way that pig iron is
included, because 1t is a raw mate
rial, though in one sense a manufac-
tured article. michigan iron ore and
metallic copper together are valued
at about $50. 100000, whereas iron
furnaces help to swell the showing of
Illinois to $1O5, ,065.6 .657. Ohio to
9,263,710 and Pennsylvania to
s569,S2S,673. Other instances of
duplication are afforded by pig lead

raw clay, coal and its immediate deri-
vatives, Cooke, gas coke, illuminating

Peace-Loving Kansas.

Out in Grant County the first jury
trial in 10 years was held last week
and this trial was over triilng
court. Not only was there not a
criminal action in that time, but
there was not even a civil dispute
that required the services of jury.
The people of Grant County have lit
tie use for a court.
The prohibitory law has always
been enforced in nearly all of the
short-grass counties. Few of them
have jails, and the few jails there
are in Western Kansas rarely have
an inmate from one years end to
another.

Power OF The Waves

The power of the waves, says M.
Brounin in La Nature, is the sum
of two efforts, one dynamic and due
to the orbital movement of the water
particles, the other static, and de-
pendent on the height of the center
of gravity of the mass raised above
its normal position. Theory and OBJ
servation seem to show that the to-
tai power of waves is divided equal
ly between these static and dynamic
effects. If a body OF water meets
the wall of structure there is a
shock, and this is most violent at
the water surface, diminishing with
the depth. At the moment of meet
ing jets of water rise sometimes to
very great heights.

A new story is told illustrating Sir

old lady came to him asking employ

"Thcre is nothing like leather"
But there Is nothing like knowing how
to keep your leather goods in fine con.

mass OF fine tendrils. intimately inter,

pable OF much stretching.
/ II allowed TO become dry and hard.
when the leather is subjected to a
severe pull. the tcndrils break instead
OF stretching. But this does not mean
that leather boots or harness should
be kept soaked with oil or dressing.
Elbow grease applied In quantity Is
better.
"All dressings should be applied
sparingly," Is the sound advice of n
saddlery concern. Black oil should
always be used on black harness and

draw out the black dye and leave the
harness brown. The black harness

Some make the mistake of oiling

parts that need nourishment most are
under the buckles where the metal
causes hardness and brittleness. II
people would vary the holes of the
