Anna Carlson, the case-hard-
ened spinster at the head of the
Lindsborg News, throws off this
bit of wisdom:
Men make great ado about
preferring the natural woman
the woman who echews paint,
powder. pads and other helps to
beauty, but we have noticed that
whenever man is led around by
the nose and cuts all kinds of
foolish capers there is a painted

For North And South Road

Henry Block of Syracuse, is
using all his influence to secure a
north and south railroad in west
ern Kansas; His arguments to
the farmers out there are very
convincing and the. chances are
that they vote the necessary
bonds to build the Gulf & North
western
In discussing the need of such
road in the extreme western
part of the state Mr.. Block SAYS:
1t cost more than 90 cents a
bushel to ship fifty five bushels
of seed wheat from Hays City to
Syracuse. or l cent pound
Hays is sixty miles north of
Larned and if we had a north
and south road through here the
freight would have been less
than half. This shows how i'm
possible it is to ship stuff across
the country under the present
conditions.
The Arkansas valley grows
most of the alfalfa seed for the
country and now all this
seed goes to Kansas City for dis
tribution With a north and
south railroad Syracuse should
become a great alfalfa seed mar
ket where the top price could
always be had for this product.
The same will be true as to
broom corn and some other
staples. On the other hand, cot
ton seed oil which is a favorite
and highly concentrated feed for
stock out on these prairieS dur
ing severe winter weather, could
be shipped in here at a small
fraction of the present transpor-
tation charges.
This and the country to the
south being a great stock raising
country and the ranges of Wyom
ing and Montana remarkably fine
summer grazing grounds where
steers reach their largest grow tn
and most perfect maturity, the
young steers of this section
would find their best buyers, we
believe, in the stockmen of the
North, just as the stockmen here
go South when wanting cheap
stock cattle. A north and south
road will facilitate this exchange
in cattle.
Frequently in taking rail
road journey one is compelled to
travel from two to four hundred
miles out of ones way in going
north or south from here, and
this takes both time and money.
There is scarcely a farmer,
stockman or business man any
where in the county but what
can figure out that it will be dol
lars in his pocket every year to
have a north and south railroad
through here.
And this is but one phase of
the question of the benefits the
people of this county will receive
from the Gulf & Northwestern

ASTEROID IS LOST
SAY ASTRONOMERS

California Scientist Tries To Learn
Where Aethra Has Gone.
Astronomers of the University Of
California, bafied by the strange dis
appearance Of Aethra, a bright aster-
old which was discovered in 1873. have
applied to the department of mathe-
matics TO work out all the possibilt-
ties as TO what has become Of the
star.
Aethra, after having her orbit care
fully mapped by the astronomers and
being fittingly tagged with No. 123 by
her discoverer. suddenly disappeared.
and the astronomers have been hunt
ing for her in vain.
The work Of locating the asteriod
has just been delegated to A. J. Cham
preaux, one OF the younger members
Of the faculty of the mathematics de-
partment of the State University. He
declares that, while he has a big task
before him, he Is confident Of success.
He las just entered upon his calcu-
lations as to the possible detection of
the asteroid from It's former path,
which has resulted in the huge tele-
scopes sweeping the sky in vain in
the quest.
About 500 asteroids are known 10
astronomers, and each has a name of
its own. Aethra Was 123 on the list,
and her orbit was known to a nicely.
1t is the theory Of the astronomers
that some force which they had not
counted has DETECTED Aethra from her
rightful direction. II is possible, they
declare, that after wandering from her
