Senator A f. SIssOn, candidate for
auditor general and former Senator
Jeremiah A Stober, the party's choice
for state treasurer, are all men of high
standing and command the respect OF
all who know them.
While the election Of all of them Is
conceded. there IS demand from
those who have studied the situation
from broad standpoint for the eXer
else of special vigilance to guard
against the dangers Of over-confldence
or indifference in the matter Of getting
out the party vote

be classed as "an off year" il is in

Ine PUBIC roads IN central Kansas
are such that Il touring car can be tax
en- out almost any time. Mud cuts no
figure with the farmer. and this is Ole
feature that makes his car of such
value to him. The town man will not
run his machine IN the mud. but the
farmer doesn't care much However
the farmers are talking good road.
now more than they ever did before
and this Is one reform the motor car
has brought about. Already In many
of the public roads the little gullies
have been filled up and the little knots
have been cut down More than a
year ago the Salina motor club began
the advocacy Of good roads. The farm
ers were not in general sympathy with
the motorists. and they were slow to
take hold OF the scheme. arguing that
the roads In ceLtral Kansas were not
so bad They knew the object was to
make 1t easier riding for motorists
and especially for the tourists from
eastern cities, who desired to spend
the summer in Colorado, making the
trip overland.
The farmer, as rule, laughed at
the idea then, but now he is right In
line If he doesn't own car now he
expects to some day, and he is in
hopes the roads will be made better
before his machine arrives on his
farm.
More roads were dragged last year
than ever before in the history of Sa
lima county, and 1t is safe to say that
the present year will be record
breaker in this line Of work

on his car, and when he pressed the
rubber bulb it gave forth honk-honk
that was like low wall of sorrow.
He was coming into town along the
Gratz Hollow road, honking every lit
tie while on general principles, las.
Wednesday, and thinking no evil, and
at the same time Silas Prowse's cow
was eating grass sadly and mourning
the recent loss of her calf. which had
become veal a short time before. The
COW was about mile from Gus
tapher, but the moment she heard his
honker she pricked up her ears, and
uttered a low moo of distress, and
started for Gustapher on the lope.
When Gustapher came over the
rise of the hill he saw the cow and
the cow saw him, and he honked to
warn the cow off his right of way,
but instead of getting out of the way
she uttered low cry of joy and sped
toward Gustapher. So he honked
again, and at that the COW fairly
laughed with happiness and broke in
to gallop straight toward Gustaphcr
Gustapher had never seen COW
act in just that way, and he didn't
know what to make of 1t, SO he
brought his car to stop and took
hold of the bulb of his honker and
honked at the COW for all he was
worth. The COW stopped straight in
front of him and looked at the auto
mobile with puzzled air, and when
they had stood there for minute or
two she looked up at Christopher with
q wistful, pleading look in her eyes.
For quite while Christopher did not
know what the COW wanted. He
thought maybe the heat had driven
her insane, and the more SO because
she got madden and madden. Then he
gave her a warning honk, and she
Immediately quieted down and re-
sumed her puzzled but satisfied look,
but when he didn't honk she grew
angry. They stood there at least half
IN hour, mooing and honking back
and forth. Every time the cow would
moo Gustapher had to honk, and
every time he honked the COW would
moo, but you can't expect state rep
representative In . Prince Albert
coat to sit all day In an automobile
honking for the pleasure Of spotted
COW. 50 he started his car slowly
and kept up q steady low honking,
and the COW trotted along ct his side
like a large coach dog.
But the more Gustapher thought
about it the more he felt that 1t would
not be dignified to enter town paced
by spotted COW. and as his old tea
rot Of an automobile couldn't go as
fast as the COW could lope, he hardly
knew what to do about It. And right
there was where be realized that his

honker made a honk exactly similar
to the bleat of calf and that the COW
did not care fig for him or his au-
tomobile-all she cared for was the
low, pleading honk Of his honker.
So Gustapher unscrewed his honk.
er, and after he had studied the COW
awhile he tied the horn on the cows

the bottom of her foot. Well, II you

one when she set her foot to the
ground and the honker honked forth

The Hon. Christopher Plogs is one
Of the most prominent citizens of our
county, and is stout for his size, prin-
cipally around the belt. He Is known
tar and near as the only man with
nerve enough to wear Prince Albert
coat on week days. and is represent
alive from our county in the state
house. We all wish he lived in Betz-
vile, but he comes down once in
awhile. and the other day he came
down in his automobile.
Gustapher's automobile Is small but
nervy. being one of the vintage Of
seven years ago, with a curly dash
board and an explanatory noise, and
when Christopher gets aboard he fills
It so full OF Gustapher that the
springs slap together like castanets.
The other day he came down to
Betzville and he had a new honker

at him joyfully.
About two months after that Gus
tapher was at the state house, when
he received a post card from Silas

Agriculture to tell what Is the matter

picked up again. But now the blamed

AS soon as the Hon. Christopher

and 1t honked all right! Well, sir
she went right up to Christopher and
kissed him on the left cheek, al
though she had always been most
modest COW. But she was that CRATE
full.
When he got back to the state
house he wrote 4 letter to Silas

and he didn't hear any more from

he got word from Silas. Il wisht you
