gressing nicely.

Stout, Mrs. c. c. Lewis and Hersv
Jewell all underwent surgical operations

stay as long as a month.
Mrs. I. L. Jaret, Sr., who has been
treated for fractured hip for the past
month is able to be up part Of the time
and will soon be able to come home.
Mrs. J. H. Woodward is in the
Wichita hospital. Her case was prob
ably less obstinate than any Of the 9TH

or Fnday.
Messrs. Woodward, Kinkaid and
Stout who accompanied their wives to
Wichita returned home on Wednesday
DR.. Donovan who also went with them
came home on Wednesday also.
Mrs. Essie Scott took her boy, Rich.
ard. to the hospital on Thursday to have
an abscess removed near the ear. The
operation was performed on Friday by
Dr.. Dorsey at the St. Francis. Dr.. Dor
sey wrote Dr.. Donovan that the opera
ton was entirely successful but if it hae
been delayed a few days longer tn.
child's life could not have been saved.

A Valuable Map

o. c. Pepoon has recently received a
map from the department at Washing
ton showing the altitude Of every portion
Of Barber county which is interesting to
look over and which would also be Of
value to prospective investors. The
highest altitude in the county is near the
western line in the southern part Of Sun
City township where it is 1000 feet
above sea level. The lowest is in the
southern part Of the county in the vicini-
ty Of Hazelton where it is 1900 feet
At Medicine Lodge it averages between
l400 and 1900 feet.
The map. in addition to noting alti.
tude. notes all the streams great and
small.

Kansas Hens That Lay Twice a Day

Figures may lie, but well-cQnduced
trapnest won't. During March two hens
in the flock at the Kansas college laid
two eggs each in one day. The fact is
thus briefly announced in the Industrialist,
issued by the college:
Last month there were two hens in
the poultry plant that laid two eggs each
in one day. These hens are trapnested,
so this statement is based upon facts.
Two hens Of the plant laid twenty-seven
eggs each during the month Of March.
One was a White Leghorn and one a
White Plymouth Rock. One pen Of
twelve Plymouth Rocks laid an average
OF twenty-one eggs per hen in March.
This is considered splendid average.
Since January they have done better
laying by far than the Leghoms. One
hundred and thirty White Leghorns and
Plymouth Rocks laid 2,345 eggs in
March.

"kentucky Dick"

Word comes from Forest that R.V.
Cant has taken on the title of "Ken-
lucky Dick all on account Of a daring
round with "broncho" one day last
week. Col. Cant, it will be recalled,
had long rest from ranch duty during
the winter and when he went back to
riding he naturally felt rather young and
gay and like all cowboys,wanted to show
the boys how to cut few fine capers.
But it must be remembered that while he
had rested I'D. his eavorite bronx" +"
known far and wide as "Oid Mat" had
also had vacation and he felt just as
young and gay as Uncle" Dick. and so
it happened that when the gentleman
from Kentucky hailed the boys, took of
his hat and waved it in the breezes and
told them to watch him do wild west
stunt. that there was a misunderstanding
between Old Mat and Kentucky Dick
Old Mat took it into his head to strike
swift gait and on the home stretch he
turned suddenly without giving the Rough
Rider previous notice and the upshot Of
it was that Mat went in one direction
while Dick went another.
Col. Sale was the closest bystande
and he started to the rescue but before
he reached Comrade Cant he was OF
his feet. overlook Old Mat and was back
in the saddle again, all of which convinc
ed everybody that he had fairly earnec
his new title.
Col. Sale had his kodak with hin
when the performance took place. Tn.
picture is little imperfect on account o
a bias focus but this is the way it looket

soil becomes saturated, however, so
that the water is no longer moving,
the air soon becomes used up, and the
crop will turn yellow and cease to
grow. The remedy. of course, is to
provide drains to remove the ground
water quickly.
The only kind of water which the
roots can use is the capillary water.
When this is present in the right
amount, it fills about half Of the
spaces between the soil particles. The
the rest are filled with air. The water
easily dissolves plant food from the
soil grains which it surrounds. Thus
the two essentials for rapid root de-
velapment,- air and plant food, are
present in the proper amounts and in
readily available form. AS fast as
the water is taken up by the. roots
more is brought up by capillarity from
the supply In the subsoil in the man.
ner noted NJ article No. 2. g.,
The place where the capillary water
Joins the ground water is called the
water table. If this water table Is
too high, the N-~ding ground Of the
roots is greatly restricted, since they
cannot go below It, If, on the other
hand, the water table is too deep,
capillarity cannot bring the water up
as fast as 1t Is used by the roots.
In dry weather the water table low
ers rapidly, but the roots are also
growing downward at the same time.
