WHEAT is ALL RIGHT.
Agents for Hutchinson Harvester Co.
Make Favorable Report.

Hutchinson, Kan, April 18.-Wheat
in the Hutchinson territory of a local
harvester company was never in finer
condition at this time of the year than
it. is. now, according to Hugh Donly,
general agent of that company here.
'All of our travellers were here a
couple of days ago., said Mr.. Donly
today, land they report wheat in all
parts of the territory of this house to
be the best it has ever been reported
at this time. There was not one bad
report from the entire number of
men,"
Doesn't the crop need rain % was
asked.
Rain has not been needed for the
wheat in this part of the country up
to this time Mr.. Donly replied.
Wheat will need rain by April 25 or
the first of May, but it will not suffer
before that time. If there had been
much rain before this time the wheat
would have grown too rank and it
would have tended to shorten the
crop"
''How about the green bugs?"
There are some bugs, all right,
but they have not damaged the wheat
up to this time and we don't expect
them to do so. Nothing has hurt the
wheat up to now, and it is doing fine
in all directions that are reported to
this office.
"Oats would probably be doing bet
ter with little rain than is possible
now with the continued dry weather.
The oats fields look we'll, though, and
are doing WELL but little rain would
likely improve the condition.
This is a good story about the wheat
crop. This company have the facili-
ties for knowing about the conditions
as very few other concerns have, for
there are many travellers and repre-
sentatives of the company all over the
territory. and they make it their bust
ness to find out the exact conditions

Wichita. Kan, April 1S.-The cases

SELLS COW TO BUY CORK LEG.
New Yorker Obtains Needed Limb
Through Novel Means.

Glens Falls, \. Y-If there is more
than one way to skin a cat, there is
certainly more than one in which to
acquire a cork leg. The usual way is
to earn money and buy it, The way
adopted by Julius ThOTne. who lives
on the outskirts of the town. is to let
COW raise herself and then rattle

Thorne was hit by a railroad train
about a year age. and when the doc

he bone set in. The injured man was
aken home where. while he lay on his
back waiting for the bone TO heal, he
cast about for some means whereby
he could procure a cork leg. This
was absolutely necessary that he
might work when we'll
Being supplied with little in the
way Of the worlds goods, Thorne was
forced to use his ingenuity. From a
neighbor he bought for a couple of
dollars a sickly calf less than a month
old. This he raised on skinned milk
provided by another neighbor who
made his own butter, and in time the
calf got strong enough to be turned
out to pasture.
Grazing ground cost little and while
the calf was growing and fattening
Thorne made baskets that he might
have enough cash to winter the ami

WHERE WOMEN RULE
CONSERVATIVE AND EXCLUSIVE
WELSH VILLAGE.
Town of LangWm Remarkable for Its
Self-Effacing Male Population
Girls Kept Within Bounds
Until Recently.

London.-The county of Pembroke
in Wales is perhaps able to find as
much food for the antiquary as any
two others in Great Britain. 1t is a
land of ruined palaces and castles,
ancient churches and still more an
cient history. It's towns OF any size
are few and far between and for this
reason it's hooks and corners are but
little visited by the quickly passing
tourist, while the townspeople them
selves seem neither to know much
nOracare about the hundred and one
interests in the hamlets and villages
about them.
A marked case in point is the little
village of Langwm.
Little Langwm is now practically
the only self-cOntained community in
the county able to point to a direct
descent from their lusty ancestors
across the North sea.
So conservative and exclusive are
this little villages traditions that it
was not till quite recently that its
daughters were allowed to go forth
into what must have been to them
a very foreign domestic service or
marry beyond its bounds, while their
tongue to this day is far less intel
ligible to their neighbOTs than it must
have been in late Norman days when
the Flemish language only differed i
the dialect from that in fairly gen
eral use in England.
But it is in their domestic affairs
that the dwellers in Langwm differ So
widely from their neighbors. Here
woman rules the rOost in a fashion
that would commend itself to many Of
her English sisters. A recent write!
had it that none but the gentler sex
sat in the village council and that the
misdemeanors of husbands were
swiftly dealt with by a selected bevy
of Langwm beauty in painful but
thorough fashion.
This imputation was much resented

Good food, fresh air and rest; keep

So we are told by the great scient-
lists who are certainly doing wonders
in reducing the death rate from Tuber
culosis. They also warn us not to neg.
lect a cold or cough, and 1t is most i'm
portant that this. advice be followed.
While the cough or cold may not bring
consumption, it is better to be ON the
safe side and take no chances.
Here is a simple remedy that will
break up cold in twenty-four hours.
and cure any cough that is durable:
Glycerine, two ounces; Virgin Oil OF
Pine (Pure), one-half ounce; good
Whisky, a half pint. Shake we'll and
use in teaspoonful doses every four
hours. The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist at
small cost, but must be pure to effect
the desired results. For this reason it
is always best to purchase the ingredi-
ents separately and prepare the mix
ture at home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) should be
purchased only in the original half
ounce walls put up for druggists to
dispense. Each vial is enclosed in
round wooden case, with engraved
wrapper, with the name-Virgin Oil Of

would have been cheered and hearts
warmed but no, 1t went to swell the
dividends of surfeited, boastful city
concerns.
The live and let live doctrines was
overlooked; its old-fashioned whole
someness was utterly disregarded.
The country merchant would have
been engaged in his daily struggle,
instead of battling at long odds
against ostracism, adversely, big bills
and meager receipts.
Think of $200,000,000, We who cause
the catalogue houses to flourish as the
cedars of Lebanon, and the green bay
tree; remember that their prosperity
Is at the expense of your brother, the
local merchant, and local progress.
Then ask this pertinent question: Can
we afford to play the game longer;
can we longer stultify local interests?
This great evil affects every farm
er, teacher and work hand, every
home, every school, every church in
every country community. 1t also
touches the interests of the physician,
preacher and pedagogue. 1t really
robs the country merchant before his
eyes. in a heartless way. He sees the
freight yard crowded with consign-
ments to individuals from great cata-
logue houses, and sadly does he look
at his country store with its stock
accommodating, for want OF trade, and
thus decreasing in value every day.
Sadly too does he look at the refuge
of bankruptcy hourly being fastened
because his townsmen prefer the cata-
logue house with its ubiquitous cir
culars. Those train loads of goods
we're bought with money that should
have found its way into the honest
hand of your local merchant, who has
the good of your locality at heart, and
who is expected to contribute literally
and continuously to very moral and
benevolent institution in your midst.
Then likewise remember this, that OF
all the millions thus sent to swell the
Golfers of houses in great cities, not
one cent will ever return to bless your
community; to clothe the naked. to
feed the hungry or to educate the
ignorant!
This is certainly a misguided, i'll
advised policy; If self preservation is
the first law of nature, the fact just
stated should cause lovers of this
country to think. Continue this policy
and what follows? The value of real
estate decreases, local Improvements
cease, material progress stops, the
whole country suffers.
The money Of community repre-
sents in business sense Just so much
possibility, and every honest occupa-
ton is injured in proportion as that
is withheld or sent elsewhere.

order citizen. If a place is good
enough for a man to live in and to
make his money in, it is good enough
for a man to SPEND HIS MONEY
in. PatroniZe your own town papers,
build them up. and they will build
your town up in increased trade and
greater opportunities"
These are the words of wisdom and
foresight from prudent, patriotic
man. AS it Is to-day, these words are
expressive of the opposite of what
should be in many country district.
The mail order citizen may think he
is gaining; the truth is he is saving
off the limb upon which he sits. Dis
aster only can follow. The mail or
der citizen makes his money locally
and scatters it abroad in field where
it is not needed; this is unfair to both
the town and to it's merchants. This
shortsighted citizen complains of the
size and character of his town paper,
at the same time he pursues policy
which tends to destroy both. Then,
publishers ought to be careful how
they exploit and give publicity to the
mail order houses; even If they are
paid we'll for the space, it reacts dis
astrously on the towns best pros
poets.
Let men stand by the local mer-
chant, let them protect his interests.
for they thus further their own. The
town that made the man should be
made by the man. This is fair to all.
Let men ponder well this truth, that
we are all interdependent; that the
vein of brotherhood underlies the en-,
tire social and commercial fabric.
That together we stand or fall; that
the good of the country demands 10y
atty and practical cooperation.
