 Once when Chauncey Olcott was in Ireland, he visited the Wishing well 1t Killarney with two plain, elderly spinsters. Besides the well sat an old Irish woman, who looked up into Mir. Olcott's handsome face and asked:

 ''Och. thin, for beautiful young ,wateheart. of course" she said.

FARMING WITH BRAINS.

1t is the farmer who farms with his
head as we'll as with his hands who is
most successful. If most business
men put no more brains into their
business than do some old-fashioned
farmers. there would be fewer bust
ness successes these days than there
are. 1t is easier to make a success of
farming without thought and study
following the rut-than it is of almost
any other occupation. TheNmerchant
who follows a given routine without
initiating new methods or pushing out
for new trade, never gets anywhere,
but many a farmer who does that fire.
quently fares fairly well.
What intelligence combined with
effort can do on a farm is told by the
Denver Republican. A few years ago
Eugene Grub, a farmer of Carbon
dale, Colos began experimenting with
a view to raising the finest potato in
the world. He put in several years of
experimenting in irrigation, soil ripen-
ing and seed selection, and he added
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-11-14

all the available potato knowledge of
other people to his own actual ex-
perience and shrewd observation. To-
day Mr.. Grub is raising potatoes
which no less an authority than
Luther Burbank has pronounced to be
the finest he has tasted. But Mr..
Grubb's work did not end here. Hav-
ing the finest potato in the world was
one thing, marketing it to advantage
was another. Personally he visited
the heads of railroads, and finally in
duced the New York Central to use
his potatoes in its dining car service.
Once used. the Colorado potatoes
were firmly established. Mr.. Grubb's
potato field covers a scant 100 acres.
Il is no better land than his neighbors.
yet 1t Is yielding princely income to-
day because the farmer was not sat
isf1ed with producing~an average pro-
duct and getting an average price.
What Eugene Grub has done with
potatoes many another farmer can do
with other crops. and it is encourag-
ing to note that in these latter days
many farmers are putting more study
into their work-mixing brains with
soil. That sort of thing will yield
greater proportionate returns in agri-
culture than in almost any other line
OF industry.

CARRYING A GRAFT TOO FAR.

Conservative politicians and grafters
say there is such a thing as carrying
graft too far. Yesterday a Third
grade teacher in Clay school devoted
part of the time supposed to be given
to her class work to making a per-
sonal appeal to the little children on
behalf of a graft scheme in the inter-
est of a certain Topeka newspaper,
appealing to the parents, through the
children, to boycott one newspaper and
subscribe for another. Similar appeals
were probably made elsewhere.
Until now the art of graft
was not supposed to be in the cur
riculum of the Topeka schools. Is Sup
erfntendent Whittemore or the board
of education responsible for bringing
the standard of our schools entirely up
to date?

E. S. Frager. of Wetmore, veteran
of the civil war has received from Po-
mona, Cal, letter which he sent to a
comrade six years ago. Mr.. Frager was
a member of the Third Ohio cavalry.
The first man who received the letter
sent it on to another member of their
regiment, and so the letter was kept
going from one old soldier to another
for six years. Each man who read the
letter added to 1t a few remarks and
signed his name and residence. The let
ter had been in almost every state in
to send the letter on another round and
keep it up 50 long as there are men,
bers of the Third Ohio to forward it one
to another.
Some of Will Palmer's wisdom: A
newspaper is like mans head. 1t
isn't the size that count, but the kind
of stuff that's in 1t. We have
known silly, giggling, boy-struck girls
to make pretty good women after they
became matrons and got little sense.
That is about all the encouragement we
can give people who have that kind of
girls. When everything bought
or sold is measured with money, nobody
should be allowed to monkey with the
measure. Some women who
wouldn't stab their neighbor with a hat
pin do it with their tongues.
The most hopeless liar is the one who
won't keep the promises he makes to
himself. man has to think
out everything before he makes it, ex-
cept his mistakes. People who
build their castles in the air don't have
to pay any taxes or insurance on them.
and we sometimes think they have just
as good times in them as anybody has.

Thanksgiving Day events have now
Already got the floor,
And in each hamlet and each town,
With joy we must deplore,
VIII men romp viciously about
And shed each Others gore?
Young Ketchel and Joe Thomas will
In Frisco on that day
In the squared circle strive to punch
Each others lives away;
With slash and swing and upper cut
They will attempt to slay.
And in their leather helmets and
Spiked CATERS, in the mud,
The football boys will scatter
Ears, fingers, hair and blood;
And young backs will then be broken and
Young lives nipped in the bud.
Go bring the pagan to our shores,
Stop sayageS who slay
Each other in benighted lands,
And bring them far away
That they may see how Christian folk
Observe Thanksgiving Day.

THE QUESTION OF HELP.

The matter of obtaining help is be-
coming more serious with central
Kansas farmers and business men,
Contractors are advertising for help on
sewers and other public improve
ments, but few men are to be had at
even the $3.50 per day, wages usually
onered for such work. Three years
ago branch packing house for the
handling of poultry was located in
solomon, in the expectation that
plenty of help could be secured. This
week it was notified that IL more la
borers are not secured 1t will be
moved elsewhere. While 1t wants fifty
or Sky men, it can get but dozen.
One OF the reasons for the selling out
OF farmers is the lack of help with
which to manage the farms.-Osborne
Farmer.
