FARMERS ARE ADVISED
TO KEEP WHEAT CLEAN

Topeka, Kan.-The Kansas expert
ment station at the State Agricultural
college at Manhattan is sending out to
the farmers in the wheat belt infor-
nation as to the best plan for keep
ing pure the wheat recently furnished
for seeding purposes. The farmers
who are growing this wheat are urged
to use great care in keeping the wheat
pure, in order to continue the distri-
button of the improved seed to their
neighbors and at the same time main-
tain the yield and high quality of the
wheat grown on their own farms.
1t is pointed out by Professor Ten
eyck OF the state experiment station
that several factors cause a deterior-
alton of wheat, and one of the princi-
pal of these is the mixture or crossing
of the wheat of different strains Of
varieties. The improved wheat which
has been distributed from the experi-
ment station is not absolutely pure
in variety of type, but these varieties
are much purer than the average
wheat.

There is weeping and much sorrow
today in the home of Justice Of the
Peace Joe H. Parkes This morning
when the family arose it was discov-
cred that "Tige," the family dog, lay
cold in death. Some miscreant, so
mean that words fail in an attempt
to describe him, had administered the
deadly poison and the tail that was
wont to wag a friendly greeting to
all, was stilled forever. He was only
a sheppard dog, mostly black with one
white foot, but his death is sincerely
mourned in the house of Parkes.

The law requires all locomotives to be equipped with spark arresters and it is said that this requirement. is not generally observed. But better still the timbermen say, it would be if the railways could be induced to use oil as iuel, Then there would be no sparks to set fire to timber adjoining the right-of- way. Campers who fail to put out their fires, are also the cause st mapy forest hree.

He called attention to the fact that the country is reaching out for more foreign trade all the time, but depen- ding upon foreign ship owners to carry our products to their destination. But the needs for a merchant marine, are being considered more seriously now, he said and there is prospect that some remedial legislation will be enacted soon. For this change, Mr. Penton said that Congressman w. k. Humphrey of that state is responsible more than any one other person.

Alaska Peat Beds
 May be Valuable

for steam generation and in Europe peat is finding growing use for this purpose. Well-prepared peat gives from 40, GOO to SO,OO0 cubic feet of producers gas per ton of dry matter, with a caloritic value no less than that of gas made from coal. Some progress has been made in the recovery of val uable by-products in the generation of gas from peat.
 Peat is of value for numerous other uses, such as bedding of stock, pack ing material, deodorizing material, and fertilizer filler. Dry peat powder
 is used 10 absorb the refuse molasses of sugar factories, the mixture being sold as stock food. A peat-moss litter and null plant is operated at Garrett, Ind, and factories for making peat fertilizer filler have heen established in New Jorsey, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Florida; some of these have not been carried bt yond the experimental stage. Fibrous peat has been mixed with certain mineral and sementing sub- stsnees and then subjected to hydraulic pressure, these resulting material being tough and hard and capable of use as structural material er for pay ing blocks. rhis Industry is incoLsid- erahle as yet.
 The production of peat fertilizer filler in 1908 was 29, eco tons, valued at about $l2l, GOO. The fuel made during the year as all machine peat, the total output being 900 tons and the selling price from $5 to $7.50 ton
 Peat moss litter is sold in bales of 225 pounds; the production for 1908 was 5000 bales, valued at Sl0, 1000. The imports of peat during the year con- sisted of S,102 tons of fuel moss, val- ued at si5. il4 and few tons of peat | fiber.

General interest in the peat resources of this country has increased greatly within the last few years, and information in regard to them sought by all classes-large investors looking for profitable opportunities of exploi- tation; manufacturing companies in- vestigating the possibilities of peat as "a source of power or as raw mater ial; and owners of peat land wishing to learn the value ot their property. A. report on the production of peat ifi 1908 by c. A. Davis has just been published by the United States Geo. logical Survey as-an advance chapter from Mineral resources of the United States, calendar year l908."" The total supply of peat in the country, exclu- sive of Alaska, is extimated at 12 bill lion tons of air-dry fuel. The peat beds of commercial importance lie almost entirely outside of the territory in which zeal and other natural fuels are abundant. MT. Davis's report contains not only the statistics of production, but description of the methods of preparation and the uses of this suh- stance.
 The most important use of peat is for fuel. It is particularly suited for use as domestic fuel as when pro- perly prepared and managed 1t makes hot and durable fire: US theoretical heating value is about fiye-eights of that of the best bituminous coal, but owing to the small waste in ash, etc, its real value is doubtless nearly if not quite as great as that of some coals that are used for domestic pur- poses.

A few days ago man showed us one of those double barreled pipees in which the nicotine goes into the shaft and the smoke comes out of the tun- nel. He sat around the office and bragged about his prize until we got interested and asked him where he got it. He told us that it came from a Chicago catalogue house and cost him fifty cents. That is fifty cents was the catalogue price but he had to pay five cents for money order and two cents for stamp. He sent his fifty cents and got notice back that it required eighteen cents for postage which was sent and another two cent stamp was attached to the envelope. In about a month his pipe came and the man was happy and so was the catalogue house.
 Desiring to be happy ourselves we went to local store and purchased one which cost us seventytive cents. The merchant felt good over the tran saction and gave us back dollar for some extra papers and that dollar has paid dozens of debts and made dozens of people at home feel better and today it came back again for some advertising and we are going to send it out to the barber who will take it to the butcher and he will let the baker have it and then the saloon keeper will get it and by and by it will come rack and go again doing good to everyone.
 The catalogue mans pipe cost him seventyseven cents and he never saw and never will see his money again. Puzzle: Find the foolish man.

John Daily Suggests
 Mining Exchange

John w. Daily, general manager of the Unuk River Mining aud Dredging company, has suggested feasible way for securing funds for the devel- opment of the mining industry of southeastern. Alaska. He would have the mining men ot this district form a mining exchange in cooperation with Seattle men and establish offices in that city. This exchange would be put In the hands of reliable men who are In a position to get in touch with capital seeking inv estment, A miner in Alaska having property that shows we'll could have experts from the Exchange examine it and upon their recommendation the Exchange could he governed ln determining the amount of development stock to be issued. With the guarantee ot the Exchange it would be an easy matter to secure all the money needed. The business could be transacted upon a five or ten per cent commission and all the balance would be placed in development work.
 As it is the miner has to turn his stocks over to brokers who demand thirty per cent or more for disposing of them and about half the time they cannot be sold at any price.
 Mr. Daily cites as an example the California exchange with headquarters at San Francisco. The miners down there who have anything to show find no difficulty in securing all the money needed for their work, simply because they get together and conduct affairs on business basis, An exchange that is careful not to float any wildcat pro- positions will soon inspire confidence and millions of idle money will be looking for investment through it.
 Good mining property is remaining idle here waiting for someone to acci- dentally stumble along and feature it. If it was listed in an accredited exchange with responsible men recom- mending it, hundreds of properties would soon be shipping ore that other- wise may lay idle for ages.

United Press special

Seattle, Sept. 10-The Seward mon- ument was unveiled at ? p. m. today. It is of bronze and is placed in front of the New York building at the exposi- tion. General William H. Seward, son of the great secretary who made the purchase of Alaska was present and took part in the ceremony.
 The statue is said to be one of the finest works of art ever produced by an American sculptor. It has been exhibited in the art galleries of Paris, where it has attracted much favorable attention.
 The sculptor, Richard E. Brooks, of New York, spent many months in studying the life and character .of Seward before he began the work of creating the statue. He was aided in this by the surviving members of the Seward family. Especially was help extended by Frederick w Seward, and William H. Seward, sons of the great secretary.
 The statue of Seward had its origin in desire 9n the rart of the citizens of Seattle to show their appreciation of his foresight in the purchase of Alaska. The suggestion was made by G. G. Beninghausen a jeweler of this city, and was promptly acted upon. A committee of prominent Seattle citizens was appointed.
 The subscription was promptly raised, chiefly from among Seattle people. The idea of the Far West doing honor to the memory of Seward has grown and expanded since work was begun on the statue. In laying out the grounds of the exposition one of the principal highways was named Seward avenue, and on this avenue the New York state building which reproduces the mansion of the sec- retsry of state, is located.

The perfection of the aeroplane simply means the end of war, says William T. Stead. Armaments will go as armor went, while twevle inch guns will be as obsolete as the bow and arrow. The aeroplane is the next step. Like Lytton's potent compound of electricity and dynamite by which a child could destroy an army by way ing a wand, the aeroplane places illimitable forces of destruction at the command of anybody who can raise fifty thousand dollars and find half a dozen desperadoes to do his bidding.
 As Captain Tullock says, fifty miles of the concentrated essence of the em- pire in the Thames valley could be brought to ruin by single airship planting dozen incendiary missils in certain spots during high wind.
