party inside the chancel, spoke the
words that made them man and
wife. Mrs. Lindhelm sang solo

blossoms completed the decorations.
Upon their arrival from church the
guests were received and ushered
into the parlor, where the happy

and best wishes of more than two
hundred relatives and friends. A
large tent decorated in green was
used as dining hall for the occasion
and here a sumptuous wedding din

afternoon and evening. The time
was spent in a social way. The
guests left many handsome gifts

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION.


An idea which contains an embryo
of great value to the whole state is
suggested by w. f. Blackburn. editor
of the Anthony Republican, relative
| to Harper county. Mr.. Blackburn is
one of the new regents of the State
Agricultural college, and of course, is
greatly interested in agricultural mat
| tiers. His suggestion is that the coun-
| ty commissioners of his county pro-
vide for agricultural experiments on
the county poor farm, with a view to
the specialneeds of the farmers of that
county, the experiments to be con-
Quoted under the supervision of an ex-
pert from the agricultural college.
1.-The farms" says Mr.. Blackburn,
"pay large proportion of the county
taxes and make it possible in a good
many cases for the man in town to
own property and pay taxes. The in
terest of the farmers should, and does,
receive careful consideration at the
hands of the county commissioners in
their deliberations. There is a chance
for the commissioners to do something
for the farmers this spring, if the far
mers really want it done, and will
take enough interest in it to talk
with or write the commissioners and
advocate the project
''It is the establishing of a demon
strating plat of ground at the county
poor farm, for the benefit of the
farmers. Experiments in crop-grow-
ing at Manhattan, Mcpherson and
Hays are conducted under different
climate and soil conditions from those
obtaining in Harper county. The re-
suits of proper seed selections and the
best cultural methods have been so
great as to justify the belief that
therein lies a wonderful field of pro-
fit for the farmer.
by cooperating with the expert
ment station work conducted at the
Kansas State Agricultural college,
the commissioners might obtain suf-
fcient seed for experimental planting
OF many of the most successful sorts
OF grains without cost other than the
freight charged. A planting plan
could be had free with full and expli-
cit directions for preparation of seed
bed and cultural methods A repre-
sentative of the college could be had
to come down here and check up and
advise in the work, half dozen times
during the growing season. With
goodsized plats, properly labeled, any
farmer from any part of the county
could visit the farm and see for him
self just what the different kinds
of grain would do in Harper county
under different systems of planting
and cultivation. The best seed pro-
ducts could be sold to Harper county
farmers for use in the county; the
others could be consumed on the poor
farm. If a planting of trees, fruit
and forest was wanted, forty acres of
land might be needed; if not twenty
five or thirty would do. Forest trees
of many varieties could be had of the
state forestry station for the asking.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-03-26

The plat would probably require the
entire time of one man and a team;
additional cost would be the actual
expenses of the representative from
the college. The net outlay would not
exceed a couple of hundred dollars
per annum. If it added a timber lot
to each farm it would be worth mil
lion dollars to the county. If it add
ed bushel per acre to the yield of
corn and wheat, it would earn the far
mers over 100000 annually"
If this idea were adopted by every
county in Kansas, its value to the state
is beyond calculation. If a small ex-
pertinent station were so located that
the farmers of each county could
watch the experiments. such expert
ments would be of much more value
than they are when they can be ex-
planned only in print.

MIR CLEWs, VIEW.

The conclusion drawn from last
| weeks financial review, issued by Hen
ry Clews, the Wall street banker, is
that the unexpectedly large Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific dividends
declared by Hartman a few months
ago were, in part at least, for the pur-
pose of booming the price of those
stocks for unloading purposes.
In speaking of the recent collapse
in Wall street Mr.. Clews says: That
disaster was partly the result of eco
nomic conditions and partly the result
of a break in the huge speculative
movements inaugurated in the last
quarter of 1906. The large dividend
payments on Union and Southern Pa
ciac, which excited so much comment
at the time, were the basis of extraor-
binary speculative operations conduct
ed simultaneously in London and New
York. The parties conducting these
operations were highly successful in
their earliest stages; and large guam
titles of these stocks, bought at low
prices, were probably distributed dur
ing the first part of the campaign in
both the domestic and foreign mar
kets. Subsequently, however. these
operations were not entirely success
full. because large amounts of stocks
were still held by the leaders and
their friends for which only a very
limited market could be found outside
of their own buying and selling to each
other. The public as a whole had kept
out Of the market with unusual per-
sistency; the widespread distrust Great
ed by the exposures of high finance
and the stringency in money being un-
questionably the chief causes of this
reticence.
1.-THE strain on the leaders was in
tense, and was seriously aggravated by
high rates for money. The pressure
of the railroads for new capital and
the tremendous outpouring of short
term notes after January 1 proved to
be the last straw. In a situation of
such tension only a moderate shock of
some sort was necessary to precipitate
a collapse. Such a shock came ostensi-
bly, through the rising hostility of
state legislatures toward the railroads.
Railroad managers and the heads of
large corporations became seriously
alarmed at this aggressive attitude.
For this they had themselves chiefly to
blame, owing to past misdeeds and
prolonged disregard of public opinion.
With confidence in the stability of val
ues, weakened first by fear of natural
reaction and second by fear of political
retribution, a situation was created
that readily explains the remarkable
collapse which occurred a week ago."
Mr.. Clews, it will be noticed, be-
lieves that the speculative movement
was not entirely successful. in that all
of those interested did not have time
to entirely unload at the high prices.
Some of those most concerned may
note whether history bears out this
theory of Mr. Clews, and to what ex-
tent--if it ever becomes known-Mr.
Hartman sold out when prices were
high, and whether he later bought
back after the prices went down.

Those parties who are suing the gas

are evidently conservative in their
figures. If a gas franchise in Ottawa,
with 5000 population, found a ready
market at $25, 1000. similar franchise
in Topeka, which is more than five
times the size of Ottawa, is easily
worth $4,000.
