GLOBE SIGHTS.
[From the Atchison Globe.I


Why do you so hate to give people
credit?
| Women are superior to men because
they always say they are.
We like girl who refuses to let a
young man break her heart.
Every man feels sorry for the victim of
some other mans injustice.
Some people think they can't be ridic-
ulouS. But it's easy for anybody.
There is one thing about red hair: The
people who have it seem to have lots.
Women like to be invited to afternoon
receptions better than they like to go.
We have an idea that some men quit
smoking to get their names In the paper.
Always remember that there is no law
compelling you to invest in an agent s
scheme.
Whether he's right or wrong. a row
with a woman will ruin man. Rather
than submit to it, run away.
A woman's ambition is not only to have
both ends meet. but to lap over and have
enough for her kin.
If a woman can reach So without a
moustache appearing on her upper lip,
it is possible she may escape altogether
When the prettiest girl in Atchison was
baby she was SO ugly that her mother
frequently thought of giving her away.
No man who has ever attempted to
prevent a woman from having her own
sex. '''' -'-
Every woman who moves claims that
she cleaned the house she left, and then
had to clean the house she moved into.
So many people impose on others. and
they will notice 1t. and. what is more,
exaggerate 1t.
When man begins to know. a woman
So well that she snarls at him as she
would snarl at a husband. it is time for
him to skip.
You often hear lifelong friends abuse
each other This should cause you to ask
yourself the question: What do my
friends say about me?"
As rule those who could make the
story of their troubles interesting are
those who are getting punished for some
thing they are ashamed to tell about.

Strange things happen occasionally
in Kansas newspaperdom. The Leav-
enworth Times and the Leavenworth
Post are in agreement on at least one
thing. They think the Ad club is one
Of the most beneficent institutions in
their town.
The Chapman Advertiser noticed a
girl in school the other day who actual
" had such a large wad of hair and
excelsior prOtruding from the back or
her head that she had to make pad of
her handkerchief to keep the support
ing comb from cutting her head off.
The Kansas university football team
has adopted a white pig as a mascot
for this year. a real reoter as it were,
and the Wichita Eagle warmly com
mends the action with the suggestion
that the team can sell the mascot and
charter a special train for home, if it
ever .'goes broke" on the road.
The interurban street car line, three
miles long, connecting OITotfS lily anu
Cottonwood Falls, pays an annual
dividend OF 81 per cent. The rolling
stock consists Of two cars. and the
motive power is six horses. The presi-
dent and his brother drive the cars.
They have refused a cash offer of $1o,-
900 for their franchise.
The Salina Journal credits the fol-
lowing to a western Kansas exchange:
They were a very young obviously
bride and groomish looking couple. On
entering the little tea shop in the up
per avenue the maid tactfully led them
into a private room which CHANGED to
be vacant. AS the waitress was leav-
ing the room the young man discovered
an important fault in the service. "Oh.
waitress" he said. may we have a
spoon?'' Sure" said the girl, "I won't
come back for ten minutes, and you
can have the room all to yourselves"

would increase the yield enormously
The expense involved in cultivating the
ground and planting for larger wheat
yield amounts to nothing when COM
pared with the resultant returns.
Mr.. Hamm and other wide wake
farmers have realized this already. In
fact, President Waters of the agricul-
turaI college pointed out the other day,
that the seed wheat furnished by that
institution was responsible last year for
increasing the wheat yield in the state
by four million bushels. This is not a
large amount when compared with tile
total wheat yield Of the state, but 1t is
sufficiently large, as President Waters
shows, that If it was turned into cash
1t would net a return to the people OF
Kansas far greater than all Of the
money they have appropriated for the
purposes of this institution of learning
during all the years of its existence.
All other farmers In the state ought
to be keen to follow the lead set by Mr..
Hamm and the others who have had
no trouble in increasing their wheat
yield. 1t will not only mean an in
creased prosperity for them. 1t will
mean a greater prosperity for every one
in the commonwealth. And that is
surely worth striving for. All hail to
the K. S. A. c. for showing the way!

UNCLE SAM AS A ROAD BUILDER

Experts of many countries are mar
yelling at the great roads which the
United States government has con-
structed and is now constructing on the
reclamation projects in the far west
ern states and territories" says a writer
in Van Norden's Magazine for Novem-
Der. More than 800 miles of the most
excellent highways that it is possible
for man to produce have been completed
and ara in daily use. These, of course.
do not include the by-roads leading to
many farms or the many other roads
being used for the time being until the
macadamized kind can be. built.
THE dry farmers have had good
horses and vehicles since the reclama-
ton work began seven years ago, and
these good roads are enabling them to
haul their products to the towns and
railroad stations-and to send their chill
Gren to school. They regard them as
the most important of all aids to prog
ress and prosperity. Many of these
pioneers own automobiles. and it is no
unusual sight to see. on Saturdays or
Sundays, a dozen or more motor cars
of the latest designs in any of the towns
of the older projects. 1t is interesting to
note that Uncle Sam has only fairly
begun the building of roads in this
newly developed country. and that in d
very few years the mileage will be reck-
oned in thousands where it is now
counted in hundreds"
The great benefits which are being
accorded to the jewellers III the reclaim
ed lands from the good roads which
Uncle Sam is building, could be acquir-
ed in all other rural localities by pri-
vate and public enterprise in the con-
strUction of just as good roads. 1t
would be nice if Uncle Sam would
take charge of all the good road build
ing in the country. But he won't. The
greater share of it will have to be done
by each locality or state and the sooner
it is undertaken in these parts on a
larger scale the better it will be for
every one.

GOVERNMENT BY COMMISSION,

Some figures showing the condition OF
the fiscal affairs of Leavenworth at the
end of the first years operation of the
commission form of government and
comparisons with the same figures at
| the end of the last year of the old
method of city rule were presented a
couple Of days ago in the news columns
of this paper. They are so significantly
interesting as to be worthy of a re-
production.
| During the last year OK the council
and mayoralty form Of government in
Leavenworth the expenditures were
$9S,720.S2. The expenditures for the first
year of the commission form of govern
ment were $79.116.21. The amount saved
to the city in one year under the mod
ern plan of municipal rule was $1S,-
604.61, or a saving of the no inconsider-
able sum of $3.50 a month.
But these figures tell only half the
story. The administration of the af-
fairs of Lcavenworth during the COM
mission period have been better in
every detail than they were under the
old system of government. This is the
testimony of the public officials, the
newspapers and everybody else IN
Leavenworth who has had the occasion
to express an opinion on the subject.
better administration of the affairs
of city would be advantageous even
If the expense involved to bring it about
was greater than the cost of an inferior
manner of governing it. But an in
creased efficiency in administration at
material less cost-well that is
pretty hard proposition to beat. 1t is
one that is assuredly worth the trial in
Topeka.
The same story that Leavenworth is
able to tell was told before by Des
Moines. The Improvement Of that Iowa
towns government under the commits
sion plan has attracted the attention
and commentator of every person
throughout the length and breadth of
the country who is interested in
municipal affairs. Des Moines' sue
cess in providing herself with a more
effectual government in every particu-
lar was also brought about with a saw
ing in expenditures of approximately
100000 during the first year of the
commission rule as compared with the
expenditures during the last year of
the council form of government.
1t is scarcely to be believed To-
pekans, progressive as they are. intend
to fail to register by October % so that
they can vote on November in favor
of trying this commission form Of gov
ernment which has worked so well
wherever it has been tried.

IN INCREASED WHEAT YIELD.

Not the least interesting event which
has occurred in Kansas during the past
year is the growing of some wheat by
Mr.. NJ. G. Hamm, a Holton farmer,
which made the magnificent :. ield IF So
bushels to the acre. And not the least
important feature of this rathe- won
derful and remunerative farming is to
be found in the fact shat MIR. Hamm
used for seed some wheat which he Sc
cured from the State Agricultural COL
lege, seed wheat that had been grown
and developed to the highest grade of
efficiency.
What Mr.. Hamm has done in this re-
spect it is most reasonable to assert
that other farmers can do. They
might not be able to produce 65 bushels
of wheat on enormously large acreages
right at the start. But if they used the
methods of wheat growing followed by
Mr.. Hamm and suggested by the ex-
perts of the agricultural college, and
also used the highest grade of seed
wheat that they could get from the COL
lege and other sources, they could more
than double and treble the size of their
wheat yields. The prosperity that
would come to them and the people of
the whole state from such wheat farm
ing as this would be OF such proper
tions that it is almost impossible to
forecast 1t.
1t is almost folly for the Kansas
farmers to go along raising wheat
which yields on an average for the en-
tire state of less than Is bushels to the
acre. when the remarkably fertile soil
with which Kansas is blessed and a
proper working of it, including the
planting Of the best Of seed wheat,

strength. These insects can lift a
