many ways kind one. To his friends

been prejudicial to the Demo-

unsurpassed by any paper in the

WINNING OF THE WEST.
Problem In Soil Culture
Which Has Been Suc-
cessfuIIy Solved.

Every writer on the agricultur-
al possibilities of the western con-
tinent, every recent experiment
station bulletin, every observant
traveller, agrees that the greatest
development of agriculture in the
next half century must be in what
is known as the semi-arid region
of America, which includes parts
of all the states west of the Mis-
souri, river and of Canada and
Mexico.
Here is to be the real winning
of the West; and it will not be
with gun and knife, nor will it
be with boots and spurs, but it
will be with such intelligent cul-
tivation of the soil that the mys-
terry of the so-called great plains
will disappear forever beneath
fields of waving grain. 1t is
worth while again calling atten-
ton to the fact that the achieve
ments of the farmers of this re-
gion have far surpassed the
dreams of the pioneers. Farming
is reality in the semi-arid re-
gion. From a hundred different
directions comes undisputed testi-
mony that practical men are till
ing the soil with good results.
The work started a dozen years
ago by H. w. Campbell, OF Lin
coin, Neb., whose experiments
first drew the attention Of the
world to the possibilities of this
region, has been carried faithful
|ly by him and others who have
learned of lin, until today it is
not a question of whether there
is anything in scientific soil cul-
ture, but how much and just
where and how can soil culture
methods be applied. MIR. Camp
bell has directed work on many
model farms in the past and his
operations this year are said to
be more extensive than ever be-
fore, and in recent years the
states have taken up similar In
yestigations and everywhere bust
ness associations are taking the
| liveliest interest in what is being
done.
The auccess of~tiIe past but in
|dicate ind small way what is in
store for the future of this re-
gion. Scientific soil culture has
opened the door for a new area of
expansion which is to result in
the making of homes for millions
of farmers and orchardists and
dairymen on land hitherto listed
as almost worthless. The search
for gold is directed in a new
channel and the search will not
be in vein.
Some day when the story of
this new development in the win
ming of the West is written the
world will be amazed at results
actually achieved.

ROBBERS RANSACK RICE
RESIDENCE.
In Absence Of Family In
wade Fort So0ff Mansion

Rice arrived home from a two
weeFs'stay in Baxter Springs on
the noon train, and on opening
her home at 214 South Judson
street found that during her abb
sence the house had been ransack-
ed by burglars, and much valua-
bic property stolen.
1t is not known when the rob
berry was committed, but it is
thought it was Wednesday night
one week ago as lady who lives
in the next house noticed that
the curtains had been pulled
down some time during that
night and were not again raised.
The robbers gained an entrance
to the house by climbing to the
top of the house over the front
porch and then forcing an attic
window.
Every room in the building
was searched thoroughly, and the
burglars must have remained in
the place for several hours. Not
| drawer was left unopened, and
the contents of all of them show
that thorough search was made
Mr.. Rice's desk had been forced
open and the papers were all pull
ed from the pigeon holes and
strewn over the room. In the
sleeping rooms the dresser draw
ers had also been opened, and
some of Mr.. Rice's clothes had
been taken from his bed room to
another room at the back of the
house where the thieves evidently
tried to get them on. The other
clothes had been taken from the
drawers and were scattered about
the room. Even the work basket
| in which Mrs. Rice kept her EN-
broidery work was ransacked and
| the contents scattered all about
the place.
The property taken was very
valuable as it included a gold
watch, several set rings, silver
watch and chain, several stick
pins containing valuable sets, sil-
YER mounted manicure set and a
large amount of solid silverware.
A considerable amount of plated
silverware was also taken, and
the thief was evidently not a
good Judge of solid and plated
ware as he left several solid silver
pieces in the silver closet and at
other places.
The floor was covered with
burned matches and in several
places goods of different kinds had
been badly scorched where the
matches were dropped into them.
The lights in the building had
been cut out before Mrs. Rice left
home so he was compelled to re-
sort to the use of matches. 1t is a
wonder the house was not burned.
The police were at once notified
of the robbery, but they have as
yet been unable to secure any clue
that would lead to the arrest OF
the guilty party.

Pecuiaritfes of the Dress Coat All
Once Had Meaning.
The clawhammer, or evening coat,
has many oddities of cut. These Cd
dities were once essentials. There
was, in fact, time when every lido
syncracy of the clawhammer served
some useful purpose
The cutaway front of the coat, for
instance, was originally cut away so
that the wearer when on horseback
would not be incommoded.
The two buttons on the back were
for fastening up the tails OH tot harms
way, each tail having in the past a
buttonhole at it's end
The sleeves, with their false cuffs,
are relics of the days when sleeves
were always turned back, and there
fore were always made with cuffs that
unbottOned.
The collar with it's wide notches, is
a survival of the old collar that was
notched in order that its wearer could
turn it up conveniently in cold or
stormy weather. ...
The dress coat, in word, is patch
