CITY OFFICIALS TERRoRIzED.
Governor Stubs ls Asked to Take
Hand In Law Enforcement.

Topeka.-The officials of the city
of Fall River have appealed to Gov
ernor Stubs to offer reward for the
Arrest of unknown men who burned
down the Jail there recently.
1t seems that the town is in a great
uproar over the enforcement of the
prohibitory law. The marshal and a
deputy not long ago arrested a couple
of men for drunkenness and in the
melee the deputy hit one of the men
blow. The deputy was arrested and
fined So
The marshal and deputy then re-
signed, and the people can get no one
else to take their places on account
of threats made by the rough efe.
ment. The council decided to build a
new Jail after the old one had been
burned down, but the lawless element
threatened to dynamite 1t If it was
built. The officials are completely
terrorized and have asked the COVER
nor to take hand.

STOCKS OF FRUIT JARS.

Coffeyville.-If the housewives OF
jars stationed in Coffeyville in one
year, the people of the United States
would have enough canned apples,
peaches, preserves and other table
Injuries to last them throughout the
winter.
The fact is easily established, If
one would visit the plant of the Ball
Brothers Glass Manufacturing COM
pany, located at Sixteenth and Spruce
streets, and see the magnificent dis
play they have on hand Of fruit and
preserve jars kept in readiness for the
domestic use of the western states.
Visitors who have CHANGED to ride
past the company's plant in the street
car to Silurian Springs, have gazed
with awe at the mountain of jars that
are to be seen in the yard Invaria-
bly, the questions is asked, How can
so much glass be left in exposure
to man and the elements without en-
larging the loss of the owners?"
There is about five and one-half
million fruit jars left in the open air
at the plant and about three million
Jars are packed ready for shipment.
The loss of jars by breakage is esti-
mated at about l per cent.
Since January there has been
about three times as many sold as
there is now on hand, which is about
twenty-five million. These jars are
sent to all the western states except
Wyoming and Nevada. The Ball
Brothers company claim to sell more
jars than any other plant west of
the Mississippi.

TO GET ROADS IN
SHAPE FOR AUTO TOUR

Clay Center.-The Clay County Au-
tomobile club has taken steps to i'm
prove conditions on the roads through
Clay county preparatory to the Star
trophies tour. AS Clay Centers is not
a stopping place for the contestants
it will be impossible for the club to
entertain the racers, as the club
would like very much to do, but the
club has held a meeting and appoint
ed a committee to go to Broughton,
between here and Wawefield, and to
traverse the road from there, through
Clay Center and up to the northern
line of the county. The condition of
the road over that stretch will be
thoroughly observed, note being made
of all culverts in bad condition, holes
in Their roads, etc. When that is done
the club will take up the matter with
the proper township officials and see
that all bad places are repaired. BY
the day of the races the Clay County
Automobile club hopes to have a near
ly perfect road from Broughton to the
northern line of the county for the
racers to pass over.

ONE THAT MAKES 1T PAY.
Farmers Cooperative Shipping Asso-
citation at Atho a Success.

Athol.-This progressive Smith
county town is one of the few towns
where the cooperative association
have been successful. This one was
organized in 1903, and has made mon
ey every year for the stockholders.
Every stakeholder is a farmer. The
Officers are: President, Oliver Dill
saver; manager, Geo. w. Douglass. In
1908 the Athol Cooperative Grain Co.
bought and shipped 256,000 bushels
of grain, mostly wheat, and this year
they expect to handle about 100000
bushels. This loss is due to a partial
failure of both wheat and corn crops.
The association has a storage capac-
ity of $4,000 bushuels. The shipping
association has recently increased the
stock from $4,000 to $4,000, and the
increased shares are selling rapidly.
The membership will also be in
creased from 80 to 200, the FARCE ma
jority of them being farmers. No one
is allowed but one share Of stock. The
association also buys and ships stock.

BAN PLACED ON DICE AND
CARDS IN NEWTON

Newton.-Another screw has been
placed in the lid here. The officers
have notified all the restaurants, cigar
stores, billiard parlors and other
places in the city where cigars are
sold, that the practice of shaking dice,
playing cards or indulging in other
games with cigars or any kind of a
prize in view for the winner, will re-
suit in the arrest and prosecution of
the guilty parties.
A few days ago one of the officers
went into restaurant where it had
been customary to shake you for the
smokes" and found a good sized
crowd congregated there shaking dice
for money. This led to the issuing Of
the new order, as the officers believe
that II shaking dice for cigars is al
lowed there is too mucn OF a tendency
to drift into an old-rashioned crap

A New One About Napoleon.

A new story about Napoleon is
necessarily doubtful; the probability
is that it is simply so old that it has
been forgotten. However, here is one
that Arthur M. Chuquet prints in
L'Opinion as never before published.
1t relatesto Napoleon and Butcher.
The emperor received the general
at the castle of Finkenstein, while he
was preparing for the siege of Danzig.
He drew him to a window in an upper
story and paid him compliments on
his military gifts, and Butcher, going
away delighted, described the inter-
view to his aide-de-camp. What
chance you missed" exclaimed the
latter.
you might have changed the whole
course of history"
"How?"
"Why, you might have thrown him
out of the window"
"Confound it," replied Butcher. so
might! If only l had thought of it."

THE DOCTORS WIFE
Agrees with Him About Food.

A trained nurse says: In the
practice of my profession 1 have
found so many points in favor of
Grape-Nuts food that l unhesitatingly
recommend it to all my patients.
1T is delicate and pleasing to the
palate ian essential in food for the
sick), and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream
for babies or the aged when deficiency
of teeth renders mastication impos-
sible. For fever patients or those Cd
liquid diet find 'Grape-Nuts and albu.
men water very nourishing and re-
freshing.
This recipe is my own idea and is
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonfu,
of Grape-Nuts in glass of water TO-
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and spoonfui
of fruit juice for fiavouring. This af
fords great deal Of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assim
ilate without any distress.
MY husband is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders IL
many times for his patients.
Personally / regard dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or stewed fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone-well or
sick"
In any case of stomach trouble, nerv-

Kansas Farmers Changing Crops.

The agricultural statistics of Kan
sas for the past year reveal some in
teresting facts as to changes of crops
and their acreage planted in the diff.
ferent counties. AS examples there is
a net increase in corn of 659,212
acres, and eighty-six counties planted
more corn than in the preceding
year, while eighty counties sowed less
wheat. There was an aggregate de-
crease of 50S.617 acres in the wheat
sowing.
The shifting of wheat to corn in
some of what have been regarded as
especially wheat counties is very no.
ticeable. Sumner, for instance, famed
heretofore as being either first or sec
ond in wheat, diminished its sowing
by $4,000 acres, and now occupies but
seventh place, while increasing her
corn planting more than $4,000 acres,
and as corn county occupies third
place instead of eighth.
Barton county, with 261,00S acres
remains first in wheat, an increase OF
400 acres, but adds to her corn IL
o20 acres; Rush, with 214,904 acres,
is second in wheat, and Pawnee third.
While Reno with 191,S00 acres of
wheat, is fourth in that respect,
many will be surprised to know that
no other Kansas county plants so
much corn, or, 203.2S9 acres.
After Reno the next counties in big
corn acreage are Jewell, Sumner, Mar
shall, Smith, Nemaha and Sedgwick
in the order named. These are pretty
evenly divided as to the northern ana
southern portions of the state, but are
all, except Smith, in the eastern half.
In corn area-100,0O0 acres or more
the six big counties in the western
half of the state are Smith, Norton,
Phillips, Graham, Decatur and Os-
borne, az named, and these, excepting
Graham and Osborne, are in the ex-
IRENE northern tier.

How few people there are who eve
consider that an acquired manner can
be as ~unbecoming as an ill-chosen
frock. Those who are forever recon-
mending womankind to cultivate "indi-
viduality' must be responsible for an
immense number Of misguided women
who are wearing the wrong kind OF
manner with painful complacency. The
entire sex ought to be cautioned against
dabbling in Municipalities, and young
girls, especially, should be protected
strictly from every temptation to part
with what little real personality they
already possess.
