Disease Cured by cuticura.

"My six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it. By
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
a complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did
not help her and I tried several rene
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised,
thought would try them. I gave her
hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap

The Root of AItruism.

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of Justice; that there is a moral law
before which all men are equal, so
that I ought to help my neighbor to
his rights Second, the principle of
charity; that l owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state
Third, the principle of free will; that
I can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if l do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped-G. K Chesterton.

Kansas officials are somewhat
wrought up over an article in the cur
rent issue of an eastern magazine
showing thai Kansas has about 300
convicts in its state penal institutions.
The same article says that Oklahoma
has about 20 convicts in prison. The
fact is, Kansas has less than half the
lumber of convicts in the two prisons
that it is given credit for in the maya
zine, while Oklahoma, instead of hav.
ing only 20 convicts, recently took
back nearly 500 from the Kansas peni-
tertiary to it's own temporary prison.

The last Kansas legislature passed
bill authorizing the agricultural col
lege to arrange with county commits
sioners to use from 10 to 40 acres on
each county farm for demonstration
purposes. The experts at the agricul-
tural college have long known that
some of the things actually proved by
them at Manhattan do not work out in
the same way in remote parts of the
state. The institute and extension de-
partment Of the college has established
variety tests of corn and a seed field
of pure bred corn on the county farms
of Jefferson, Johnson, Coffey, Chero-
kee, Harvey, Ellsworth, Saline and
Jewell, and on the private farm of G.
H. Clarke of Colony. They also have
several seed fields in Bourbon county
on lands leased by the county commits
sioners. 1t is proposed to carry on
such work in every county in Kansas.
The law authorized the commissioners
to lease or buy land If the county does
not have a county farm. If requested
by the county commissioners the col
lege will send a man to meet the county
board and inspect the farm and ar
range definite plans for the carrying
on of the work.

FARMERS ARE CHANGING CROPS
Wheat Acreage Decreased and Corn
Acreage Increased in State
Last Year.

Topeka, Kansas-Kansas farmers
are changing their crops more than
ever, according to F. D. Coburn, sec
rotary of the state board of agricul-
ture. Mr. Coburn has been tabulating
the returns of the assessors. There
is a net increase in corn of 659,212
acres, and sc counties planted more
corn than in the preceding year,
while 80 counties sowed less wheat
There was an aggregate decrease OF
5O8.617 acres in wheat acreage
The shifting from wheat TO corn in
some of the big wheat counties is
very noticeable. Sumner, for instance
famed heretofore as being either first
or second in wheat, diminished its
sowing by $4,000 acres, and now oc
cupies seventh place, while increasing
its corn planting more than $4,000
acre. AS a corn county it now oc
cupies third place instead of eighth.
Barton county, with 261,00S acres,
remains first in wheat, an increase OF
400 acres, but adds to its corn 11,02O
acres. Rush, with 214,904 acres, Is
second in wheat and Pawnee is third
while Reno with 191. 800 acres OF
wheat is fourth in that respect. Reno
leads in corn with 2O3,2S9 acres. Aft
er Reno the counties with big corn
acreage are Jewell Sumner, Marshall
Smith Nemaha and Sedgwick in the
order named.
The six big corn counties in the
western half of the state are Smith
Norton PhilIinc Graham naca t11r and
Osborne, in the order named, and
these, excepting Graham and Os
borne, are in the northern tier.
