AS a natural sequence to the
marauding night riders the agricul-
tural districts of Kentucky are becom-
ing depopulated. Tobacco farmers are
giving UP their leases and moving
from the state in droves. And the
blame rests on no one but the state
authorities. Why they have permitted
the lawless depredations of the past
few months is beyond the reason Of
people in 1aw-abiding communities.

The establishment of the county fair
this fall probably means that within
year or two Topeka will be the nome

will be a great boon for Topeka as
well as for Kansas.

With each passing day the chances
for Judge Boyds return to congress
become better. Among those who
have looked into the situation there
Is now not the slightest doubt in the
world as to his reelection by safe
majority. The people throughout the
Third district have been studying the
matter and they have come to the
conclusion that with an excellent rep
reSentative in congress making re-
markable Roadway in the interests of
this entire district there is no good
reason why a change should be in
stituted. And with financial legisla-
tion to play an important part during
the coming session of congress peo-
pie who study problems see reasons
why Mr.. Latta, banker with the
bankers viewpoint, should not be sent
to Washington at this time. Judge
Boyd has been trained in the law by
long service in practice and on the
Ninth judicial district two terms. His
whole career has been foundation
for excellent service as lawmalSer
And it is because the voters rcCog
nize Judge Boyd's superior qualiiica

is considered so well assured at this

How to Walk Upstairs.

A physician. describing how per-
son should walk upstairs, says: "Usu-
ally person treads on the ball of his
foot in taking each step. This is very
tiresome and wearing to the muscles,
as it throws the entire suspended
weight of the body on the muscles of
the legs and feet. You should, in
walking Or climbing upstairs, seek
for the most equal distribution of the
body's weight possible. In walking
upstairs your feet should be placed
squarely down on the step, heel and
all, and then the work should be per-
formed slowly and deliberately. In
this way there is nj strain upon any
particular muscle, hut each is doing
its duty in natural manner

A Southern Barbecue.

The many barbecues which l at
tended last summer keep green in my
memory the time-honored Bruins
wick Stew" which Southern people
like so well, and sometimes, alas, di-
gest so poorly. Yet the world is
obliged to admit that Epicurus him
self would relish it. Here is the
recipe: One kind of any of these
three meats is used: lamb, chicken or
squirrel. If chicken, which is prefer
able, it should first be parboiled and
cut in pieces and put over the fire in
enough cold water to cover it. A
finely chopped onion, large slice of
bacon, cut fine, and black and red
pepper in abundance, and salt are
added. Cook until the bones are
loosened and can be drawn out. Then
add minced corn, cut from the cob,
or canned corn, and tomatoes.
chopped fine, and one-half pound of
butter. Let these boil together, and
just before serving, add a sprinkling
of stale bread crumbs, or pulyerized
crackers. Serve in tBresn. 1t
should be the consistency of Scotch
broth. My friends have assured me
that my Brunswick Stew" IS super
fine success. I guarantee this recipe.
