HHAvY FEEDERs PROFITABLE
Chapman Feeder Made Money on
High Priced steers.

I'd. Arnold of Chapman, marketed
late yesterday Al head of shortfed
steers that were money makers.
These steers were bought on this
market. They were on feed but 10
DAYS, and in that time put on a gain
Of 222 pounds, They brought 7'6S
and cost 6.25, making an advance In
the price of $2.4O.
X I'm this DEAL" said Mr.. Arnold
II thought had paid too much, and
bought steers little too heavy, but
they turned out to be just the kind
to make money on. 1t is not always
the high priced feeders that lose
money, as / have bought low priced
feeders and made less, and in some
cases barely came out even. ] fig
ure that these steers will clear close
to $40 each. These steers weighed
1925 pounds when l took them out
and weighed yesterday, without any
fill, 1918 pounds"

Prof. w. O. Steen is
Out for County Sup't

and for two years he was principal OF
the schools at Hope. This is his
fourth year as superintendent OF the
Solomon schools. His work here
has been Of the highest order and
our school was never in as good con-
dItion as now. His salary here his
first year was considerable larger
than had ever been paid to any other
man who has held the position, but
as an inducement for him to remain
at the head of our schools, and to
show their appreciation Of his excel
lent services, the school board has
voted him substantial raise each
subsequent year.
Mr.. Stems reputation as an edu-
Gator is not confined to Dickinson
county by any means. Throughout
Central and Eastern Kansas he Is
recognized as one Of the leading
school men of the state. He Is a
member of the State Teachers and
Pupils Reading circle board, and an
officer Of the North Central Kansas
Teachers association; also a mem
Der Of the County Examining Board.
Prof. Steen's efficiency is unques-
toned and unquestionable, and this
proposition will stand every test. We
do not believe that he will have any
opposition in the Republican party,
and we doubt very much II the DEM
ocrats place man on their ticket to
oppose him; but whatever opposition
may develop in the future, no one
will say that Prof, Steen lacks in
either ability or integrity. If nomi-
mated and elected, as we confidently
believe lie will be, he will do his full
duty as the law prescrlbts, and will
make an officer of whom we may all
we'll feel proud.

penses.
There is not q thing In sight which
will diminish the earninE power Of
the farm. but there are many evident
reasons why It's earning power will
increase and why II will remain rer-
manent.
The cities will continue to grow
larger even more rapidly that they
have in the past. Towns will become
cities and hamlets will become towns.
Because of the wonderful prosperity
of this country during the past few
years immigrants will come here in
greater numbers than ever before and
a large majority Of them will become
residents of the cities or will be en-
ployed in the mines and factories.
Industrial centers will construct more
and demand more manual labor.
All this urban growth means that
there will be an increased demand
for the products of the farm and It
also means that the price of the
products will rise.
With land selling in Kansas as
cheap as It Is today no man who
has the money can make q bettar

their owners rich and independent.

the productiveness of Kansas land.
It will produce as much, II not more

Farm land In any state is good in

Kansas farm land rs better invest

Of them are selling their property In
states where land is higher and are
leinvesting the money In Kansas
lands.
Farm lands all over the country
are increasing in value and the prices
are higher in the older states than
in Kansas. The increase In farm
values is due to the fact that there is
a greater demand for farm products
than formerly. The populations Of
the cities and towns are increasing
and their percapita demand for the
products Of the farms has produced
an extraordinary rise in the value
Of agricultural products During the
past ten years this rise has been
greatly accentuated and to this 10 due
