KANSAS CONMENT
A GREATBR CORN YIELD.

At recent meeting in Topeka, a
speaker said that one hundred and fif-
teen bushels Of corn had been raised
on q single acre. why not raise one
hundred and fifteen bushels of corn on
every acre?" asked the speaker dra-
matically.. No doubt he went to bed
that night, and thought himself a par
tfcularly Good Man. because of his
demand that one hundred and fifteen
bushels of corn be raised on every
acre of corn land. This mans Reform
Work Is on par with all the other
Reform Work now being done. When
man raises seventy bushels of corn
on good land. he does particularly well,
and is worthy, of Communications; to
abuse him because he does not raise
one hundred and fifteen bushels per
acre, is refusal to give a good man the
credit he deserves. But there Is Door
land, and plenty OF it, on which it is
impossible to raise forty bushels of
corn per acre. If a farmer does his
best with such land, and raises thirty
bushels per acre, should he be abused
for not raising one hundred and fifteen
bushels per acre?
OF course better farming is posi-
BILE. And Farmers are doing better
farming every year, without assistance

knowing nothing about farming, de-
mand sibilities.-Atchison Globe.

Penitentiary Bags Unsold.

Walla Walla, Wash.-The state o;
Washington will carry over from
last season nearly 100000 grain
Tags, which did not find market in
the state during the harvest months.
This is the largest carry over busi-
ness ever done by the state prison,
where the grain bags comprise u
large part of the output. In recent
years there has been strong de-
mand for bags, but the past season
the trust prices were SO reduced
that it was difficult for the state to
sell all the product of the jute mill.
The price of rain bags dropped from
II cents two years ago to about 7
cents early in the spring, and farm
ers took advantage of the low mark
ct and bought heavily. The farmers
unions of Eastern Washington also
bought heavily in lare lots, and in
this way the best of the demand was
secured by the trust product. The
crop proved lighter than was expect
ed and the late sales, which usually
help decrease the product, failed to
materialize and the bags could not
be used.

COURT OPENS
At MOSCOW
ASSISTANT UNITED STATES AT.
TORNEY GENERAL GORDON TO
HAVE CHARGE OF NORTH IDA.
HO CASES.

Assistant United States Attorney
General Peyton Gordon, who had
been spending week in Boise in
consultation with District Attorney
Lingenfelter, relative to the action
that the government will follow in
the Northern Idaho timber fraud
cases, left this afternoon for Spo-
kane to spend few days attending
to legal matters for the government
after which he will go to Moscow
and remain there through the term
OF the United States circuit court In
the northern division.
When seen this afternoon Just
before his departure. Mr.. Gordon
said: Il have been called to Spo-
kane to attend to business for tho
government and expect to remain
in that city few days. will be
i'll Moscow when the circuit court
opens in the northern division and
take charge of the prosecution Of
the governments timber fraud cases
which come up before this session.
During my absence Mrs. Gordon will
remain In Boise"
These cases are to be heard at
Moscow during the regular term of
the northern division of the United
States circuit court which opens on
November 16.-In taking charge of
these cases Mr.. Gordon relieves Dis
trict Attorney Lingenfelter of all
connection with their prosecution by
order of the attorney general owing
to the charges that were preferred
against the district attorney by one
Thompson. connecting him with be-
Ing counsel for the timber inter-
ests. After making an investigation
of these charges the government
found no ground for them. They
were made when Mr.. Lingenfelter
was appointed to succeed N. M.
Ruick, removed, as district attor-
ney.
Sylvester Rush, also an assistant
t. the attorney general, was to have
assisted Mr.. Gordon in the prosecu-
ton OF these cases, but from the lat
est developments 1t appears that Mr..
Gordon will take charge of the cases
alone. After their disposal 1t ID
understood that he will return to
Boise and assist in the civil action
the government has pending against
the Barber Lumber company and
which have been set for trial In the

steps will be taken in securing the
remaining 16 miles Of right OF way
Tor the new traction line to Wallu-
la, as yet Lnconlracted for. This
action was decided upon at meet
ing of the executive board OF the
Farmers Union. Sixty miles Of the
right OF way has already been secur-
ed by the old company, and will be
turned over to the new company.
The remaining right of way to be
secured is in the vicinity OF Walla

ton. 1t was also decided that all
employees of the company must own
stock in the consern to the value OF
at least one share at the par value OF
$lO0. According to the plan advo-
Gated any individual entering the
employ of the company will be re-
CURED to purchase one share and
allow portion of it's cost to be de-
Quoted from his wages from time to
time until paid for. By having ev-
cry employe a stakeholder in the
concern, it is thought that each will
take more active interest In its
success.

Artesian Water for Stock.

Lakeview Ore.-Dave Eddle., the
sheep king of Southern Oregon, has
purchased large drilling outfit and
will shortly begin experimenting for
artesian water. The question of
water on the range in this section
is becoming serious one for stock
men, especially for those engaged
in the sheep industry. All the lands
suitable for agriculture are being
taken by the incoming homesteaders,
and as these lands pass into the
hands of individuals the watering
places are fenced in, shutting off the
herds of the sheep and cattle men.
Most Of the men engaged in the
cattle business have home places but
many of the sheepmen are without
permanent quarters, and another
disadvantage Is that their flocks can
not travel far from water.

ROOF. Taft and RooaeveIt.

Root and Taft were the only men in the
cabinet who felt big enough to lampoon
Mr.. Roosevelt a little to his face. He
took from them what he might resent COM
ing from another. A story illustrates this,
and It is a good and true story. too. related
by Walter Wellman in the Chicago Record
Herald.
One day in abine meeting. some years
ago, one of the cabinet members presented
to President Roosevelt a letter from a west
ern man asking for a appointment 10 a
certain federal office. Mr.. Roosevelt was
thinking about other things Just then and
did not answer. A little later the secretary
asked what answer he should make 10 the
applicant Quick as a flash the president
said: Write and tell him he can't have it
he can't have IT,"
IF / were you. Mr.. Secretary" spoke up
Root. IN his slow deliberate fashion. II
would write the gentleman that the presi-
dent. after mature elaboration and upon
full inquiry into all the facts and circum-
stances. has decided not to give him the
office which he seeks"
At this the members Of the cabinet looked
at one another. almost In awe. Could It be
possible hat Mr.. Root had dared thus 70
beard the lion In his den7 How would the
president AXE that palpable hit? Would he
lose his temper and make a seene7 Their
feelings were soon relieved With a hearty
burst Of laughter Mr.. Roosevelt sang out:

Kaiser a. an Architect.

Emperor William Is the busiest man in
Germany. Temperamentally, says a writer
in E~yerybody's President Roosevelt re
sembles him much. but the kaiser Is the
more versatile Of the two. II there IS
anything going on in the empire that the
kaiser does not find an opportunity to take
a hack at, IT has escaped the notice Of
those who watch him closely. He revises
all public findings. supervises all archt-
lecture, lectures everybody, and is a gen.
eral, all-round Little Father. in every sense
of the term.
When they want to illustrate his ceaseless
activity as well as his resistless power,
they tell the story Of the star above the
cross on the spire of the Emperor William
Memorial church. This is the tale as it
was told to me. OF course, the kaiser in
sisted on revising the plans of the church.
That is one OF his fondest ~prerogatives-
revising everything and especially plans.
The architect brought the plans to him.
and the kaiser scratched out what he didn't
ike and made such additions as he fancied
before he gave them the imperial o. X. The
church was built. There was to be a big
gilt cross on the spire, and it appeared
IN it's proper place. But, much to the gen.
eral establishment. when the cross was put

raised above it, on a heavy rod. The Ber-
liners could not understand the star. They
inquired. TIL architect and the kaiser
had added the star to the plans.
The plans were examined. Then it was
found that in revising them the kaiser
had let fall a drop of ink from his pen.
which hit the paper just above the cross.
The architect studied a long time over
this blot OF ink. His Teutonic mind Crap
pied with the problem for weeks. There
was no appeal. There could be no in.
quiries. He finally decided the blot OF ink
signified a star above the cross, and he
put the star there. making II correspond
as nearly as possible with the outlines
of the blot. The star is still there.

Intentions of the President.
WASHINGTON. Dec. n.-An official Of
the government who is fairly well posted
as to the Panama canal scandal talk. said
today that he did not understand that the
intimation OF the president as to possible
criminal libel prosecution referred to con-
templated action in the federal courts.
There Is no criminal libel laws on the
federal statute books and any action Of
this kin would have to be taken in the
state courts. He said. however. that there
is an unwritten code OF courtesy between
federal and state prosecuting officers and
he saw no reason why United States Dis
trict Attorney Stimson Of New York should
not lay before District Attorney Jerome OF
that city the facts In the case for Mr..
Jerome's consideration with the view Of
criminal action against persons In New
York responsible for the publication OF the
charges. He thought it probable that con-
ferehces between Mr.. Stimson and Mr..
Jerome might already have taken place.
