Growth Of Pitv.

No one formerly looked on with any
pity or even horror at punishments
which are now found too dreadful for
description. Men were broken on the
Wheel were burned at the stake. were
racked, were cut up alive. No one
seems to have felt any pity for their
agonies. Men were put into noisome
prisons, where, with bad air and in
sufficient food, they died unroticed

Cottonwood is rapidly making
a reputation for itself as a
town where everyone is given a
square deal" Whether it is
in the way of ball games, horse
races, Fourth of July sports, or
things Of a business nature every
one is given fair chance here
and the town is beneftting more
and more from it as time passes.
The town that is not ION the
square" soon gets such a bad
reputation that the people stay
away from it whenever possible.
The square deal" policy is as
good for town as it is for an
individual and is sure to win out
in the long run.

How TO Kill Your Town.

An exchange takes out of it's
grave yard" the pungent para
graphs below relative to the
course to be pursued in properly
killing off the town a man may
happen to live in. They are:
Kick.
Keep kicking.
And don't quit kicking.
Go to other towns and buy
your goods.
Denounce your merchants be-
cause they make a profit on their
goods.
Knife every man who disagrees
with you on the method of in
creasing business.
Make your own town out a
very bad place, and stab it every
chance you get.
Refuse to unite in any scheme
for the betterment of the
material interests of the people.
Tell your merchant that you
can buy your goods a great deal
cheaper in another town and
charge him with extortion.
Keep every cent you get, and
don't do any thing of a public
nature unless you can make
something out of it directly
When you say anything OF
your town say it in such a way
that it will leave the impression
that you have no faith in it.
Patronize outside newspapers
to the exclusion of your own
then denounce them for not
being as large as the city news
papers.

WINTER IRRIGATION.
Deep Soil Is the Ideal Reservoirs
For Storing Water.

For Storing Water.
The irrigatlng season is over, and
most of the available water is running
to waste. Water in the irrigated west
is too precious to be wasted at any pc
riod of the year. The water of the fall
should be used Instead of letting it
go, it should be brought into the fields
that are to be used next year. The best
water reservoir, after all is said, is not
that planned and built by the engineer,
but the deep permeable soils of the
west and other arid countries. It.is
scarcely possible for the man who has
not studied the question to realize the
large amounts of water that our soils
can hold and the tenacity with which,
under favorable conditions, soil mois-
ture may be retained.
Depth of Soil.
An average western soil If fully sat
urated will hold over one acre and TO
depth of one foot nearly 100000
pounds of water. Most of our western
soils are of great depth, ranging from
10 to 100 feet. To depth of ten feet
an average soil could contain nearly
100000 pounds of water to the acre.
In other words, foot of soil can hold
as much water as would be represent
ed by As inches of rainfall, and ten
| feet of soil can hold what Is nearly
equivalent to forty-five inches of rain
| fall This is the rainfall of four Of our
average years. Talk about storing wa
ter! A deep soil is the ideal water res
| ervoir. Not only are soils capable Of
holding much water, but they also re-
| tain water well.
The Waste of Water.
The water now running to waste in
our bitches, canals and rivers should
be brought on to the lands as soon as
possible. The water will distribute
itself uniformly to considerable depths
in the soil and be held there by capil-
larry forces Small quantities will nat
urally evaporate from the surface, and
if the weather is warm, Il very large
quantity of the applied water may es-
cape into the atmosphere. The top
surface should be carefully stirred
with harrow or disk as soon as the
soil appears dry enough to be worked
without danger of pudding.
The loose mulch thus formed will eff.
fectually check any serious loss OF
water from the soil In this connec'
ton it should be remembered that deer
stirring of the soil is much more eff
fectlve than the shallow cultivation
commonly given.
The ideal soil for all irrigation pur
poses is the deep uniform soil, sandy
or clay, through which the water car
distribute itself uniformly in the form
Of q thin film around the soil grains
according to a writer in Denver Field
and Farm.

The petty criminal of the police
court is an outcast, the woman
of the street is unspeakable; but
our doors are wide open for the
fashionable beauty whose name
is byword, and for the moneyed
man whose life is a stink in the
nostrils of society. We intro
duce them to our wives and
watch our youngest daughter go
out to dinner on his arm. We
misrepresent, indulge, comprOm-
Use, sin, rob, cheat and leland
we do all of them without per-
hitting ourselves to acknowledge
that we do them all.
When you sit alone, in quiet,
and measure your morality,
measure it fairly.
Very likely you can't use a
pair of scales or a quart cup or a
yard stick.
But any of these would be
better than a rubber band. -

PROFITABLE FARMING.
Every General Farmer should RRis'
Wen Bred stock.

livery NehtEAA NtAAsG
Wen Bred stock.
Sufficient live stock should be kept
on every farm to consume the rough
age and some of the grain produced Oh
the farm. This is not only necessary
in order to maintain the fertility of the
soil, but it is necessary in order that
farming may be proftably carried on.
A general farmer should raise well
bred stock, but not necessarily pure
bred In fact, he can hardly afford
to raise pure bred cattle, sheep and
hogs for the block or pure bred horses
to work in the field at the present
market value of pure bred animals.
True, if the plan Of breeding only
from pure bred sires is practiced long
the animals on the farm become prac.
tically pure bred, and it should be the
aim of every stock raiser to ultimately
secure such herd or flock
1t pays to give the best of care to
we'll bred stock. The scrub is usually
Kept at loss anyway, and it may not
make 50 much difference financially
what care the scrub receives, but With
money invested in well bred stock,
which is capable of returning good
interest on the investment with proper
feed and handling, neglect becomes
costly, says Professor Ten Eyck in
Kansas Farmer.

Milking Machines.

Now that milking machines have
shown us that they can milk cows
without drying them up new claim
is being made for them. The milk Is
drawn In a vacuum and deposited in
a covered pail through tubes without
coming in contact with the atmosphere.
1t is well known that milk is spoiled
by bad odors from the stable and from
dust and dirt falling into it during the
process of milking. In the best diaries
great deal Of expense and care are
continually expended to procure milk
as clean as possible. If the milking
machine proves as satisfactory as 1t
promises to be it will reyolutionize
dairying, not only solving the labor
problem as applied to milking, but by
furnishing better quality of milk at
less expense. 1t Is said that milk
drawn from the udder by the milking
machine and carried at once to thor
oughly cold sterilized bottles will keep
In good condition for a week.

The rule is to sell when things are
high and buy when they are low. Let
us set our wits to work to learn how
to have eggs when folks want them.
In May hens get insects, gravel stones,
all sorts of seeds, pure air and water
What is there now to take the place of
such things? Corn or dough will fatten
a flock of hens, but if you want them
to lay you must - them something
else. A bit of fresh meat now and
then, some scraps, ground bones, ashes
and sand to roll in and a warm, dry
house where the sun comes, are as
good as anything to make hens lay,
and eggs sell now at high prices

The work of the u. S. detec-

strategy worthy of a better cause

as we'll as those who were en-
meshed. Furthermore, the raid
will put the fear Of Uncle Sam

Rubber-Band Morality.

Here's rubber band.
The distinction of a rubber
band is that it stretches.
1t will fit just as we'll around a
teapot as it will around a child's
building block. Differences of
size and shape are nothing to the
rubber band. 1t accommodates
itself to many shapes and sizes.
Our ideas are very much like
so many rubber bands.
They stretch.
You wouldn't call yourself a
cheat. Then why don't you re-
mind the conductor of your fare
this morning?
You can't get out of it by
laughing about it or say that it's
good joke on the street car
company, or that it don't amount
to anything.
1t was fraud. You know it.
You stretched your rubber con-
science.
You wouldn't admit that you
were a liar. Then why didn't
you tell your wife the truth
about last night?
You can't get out of that,
either, by saying that what she
doesn't know won't hurt her.
You can call it common sense, or
policy, or a white lie, but you
know what it was.
A man is not a perjurer, but
he will go into court and witness
/ the best he can for his friend 9
side. A salesman is not dis
honest, but he misrepresents his
goods. The president of a cor
poration would scorn to pocket
the dollar bill you dropped, but
has not the least scruple against
overcharging you for what he
/ furnishes. 1t is hardly consider
ed discreditable any more for a
man to beat the city on his taxes.
the government is the legitimate
victim of anybody who can get
the best of it. Lewd books are
banished from our homes, but
we send our children to pack the
theater for a matinee of Iris. .
Some men pass the plate Sunday,
and sell short weight the rest of
the week. Marguerite in the
opera is lovely; in life we
wouldn't let her come to the
back door. A knee-length ball
dress would be as immodest as a
decolette bathing suit. We
would never rob a blind man,
but let him be careful if he has
eyes. We profess to despise the
ward heller, while we make nc
secret of the fact that we are
buying votes just as clearly as if
we bargained for one vote, one
dollar. The drunkard in the
gutter is disgusting; the drunk
ard in the dining room is our
, honored friend and associate.

SPENCER TO BUILD TT.
Topeka Man Gets Contract for Wash.
burn Gymnasium.

F. M. Spencer, the Topeka con.rac-
tor, is to have the contract for tn e
building Of the new gymnasium at
Washburn college. This has now been
decided at subcommittee meeting of
the trustees of the college. None of
the details of the building has been
given out.
The building wilEeost $4,000 and is
a donation to the college by Jonathan
Thomas, in memo8E of his son, the
late Charles Thomas 1t has been re-
ported that the college might possibly
igo beyond this sum in the erection of
the building, but it is not known
whether this Wilt be done or not.
Grant P. Miller. the junior member of
the firm Of Patton & Miller of Chi
cago, who designed the building, met
with the committee yesterday.
Norman Plass. the retiring presi-
dent OF Washburrl, would like very
muchsto have the work on the building
started before the close Of his admin
mony of breaking the ground for the
time before the close, of the present
college year. The. plans provide for
the enclosing Of the building by De-
cember and the building will be COM
pleted and ready for use by September,
1909.
Z DR.. Plass will leave Topeka soon
after the commencement exercises are
over. He will take his family to his
former residence. in Massachusetts
where they will remain for a time DR..
Plass himself will spend the summer
looking after his extensive NUMBERING
interests in British Columbia.
