A Stormy Week.

Last week was a record breaker
as to heavy storms. Throughou,
the Mississippi valley and the
northern states severe storms ragged
in many localities.
In the north severe snow storms
and fierce winds prevailed, while
further south the electric storm and
tornado held sway. The property
loss in Chicago alone is estimated
at 81 900, GOO with five or six deaths.
Peoria ILL.,, also suffered severely,
and all the intermediate country
K entuckey and Tennessee were
severely dealt with. ST Paul, Min,
reported a foot of snow. There
were about zoe peopls killed, the
country over, and many more hart
and crippled up. Kansas, as usual
suffered but little. The cold that
followed the storms did serious
damage to the fruit. This little
Eden down in south east Kansas
had no storm ans but a touch of
the icy fingers of winter. 1t is
thought that considerable of car
fruit escaped.

.DILATORY "WORLD POWERS.

With the billions of money
invested in armies and navies,
"to preserve the peace of the VERDI
it is not short of disgrace to
Christendom that massacres such
as are now being daily heard from
in Turkey should not have been
prevented. Abundant warnings were
not wanting. The political agents
of all the leading governments had
kept their home authorities in touch
with the threatening outlook.
Nothing had been more impressed
on these governments than that
political agitation in Turkey is
invariably the signal for wholesale
slaughter of Armsnians, or that
Christian missionaries, trusting to
the ample power of the civilized
government to protect them, were
in peril of their lives. Letters now
coming in tell story not less
atrocious than the massacre of the
Hungenots of France, and far more
shameful to civilization, considering
the progress Of the last three
centuries. While the reputation of
that quarter of the world warranted
the Powers in adopting prompt and
radical measures to preserve order,
matters were permitted practically
to take their natural course.
AS the truth trickles out through
letters from survivors, the World
Powers will hardly be able to offer
decent excuse for their ineom-
potency. Certainly they have not
been stinted in money to protect
their pioneers, educators, mission.
aries, men and women whose faith
in Western ideals is such that they
chserfully give up the comforts of
life to carry forward the gospel of
civilization. This movement will
not stop, no matter what the inca
pacity of governments, so long as
men and women continue to be
born with the passion for humanity,
liberty and righteousness which
compels them to 60 out sud conquer
the backward and barren places of
the earth. 1t will 60 on. but if
governments are worth what they
cost for the maintenance of their
diplomatic and military orgaRiza-
tiOns, 1t will be better protected.
Protests against massacres after
they have occurred are toe futile
and slow preventive Of massacres

zstion which boasts 1t is the civili-
zasion that E'does things" gives its
gevernnent ample resources for the

Worms to the Good.

When the National Biscuit Bakers
Association met in annual convention
at Atlantic City last summer DR..
Wiley, head of the pure food commits
sion, came on from Washington to
address one of the principal sessions.
His attitude toward yIolatOrs of the
food laws was we'll known to the dele
gates, who, however, pressed him
with questions as to the quality of
goods that could legally be offered
for sale to the public. The commits
sioner parried the thrusts of the
biscuit bakers with his ready wit.
The discussion ran Into stale cakes
and biscuits. In the South, it was
stated, it is practically impossible 10
keep bakery products for any length
OF time free from wesvlls, and such
stuff is disposed of by selling it to the
negroes at cheap prices. Was this
rightg DR.. Wiley was 10 a quandary.
The commission could net Interfere

might get him iuto a needless taugle.
He thought rapidly; he would be

The Woman's Relief Corp, Depart
ment Of Kansas, appeals to you TO
help in raisirg n fund with which to

portunity to secure park Of twenty
two and One-half acres on Kansas soil
where 10 will renal as a lasting
monument to unselfish patriotism.
Those whJ contribute 35 cents each,
as the members of The Woman's Re-
lief Corps are doing, and those who
are sending the 81. 90 subscription in
answer TO tho story by d. o. McCray
OF Tnpeke, so widely published In the
newspapers, are planting the seeds of
patriotism that are bearing fruit TO-
day.
If you never visit this hallowed
ground, your contribution will aid in
converting this historic spot into u
place of beauty, which is sacred TO
the memory Of those who preserved
cur Union.
A. r Greene, former Commander
Of the Department Of Kansas, G.. A.
r sends 81 co. and with it the fol-
lowing sentiment: Il beg to COM
mend your patriotic pur ose TO pur-
chase the John Browa battlefield at
Osawatomie, and preserve and beauti-
fy it as a memorial to the cause of
universal freedom. Let the grass and
flowers that shall spring from the
soil, enriched by the blood of the
heroes who fell there, be an ever re.
curing reminder of the blessings
that have come TO the country from
Il truer and loftier Interpretation of
the Declaration of Independence.
Lest we forget"
| have faith In the patriotism Of
the splendid manhood of Kansas, and
| do not believe they will permit this
worthy movement to fail. About
one-half OF the old battlefield Is
covered with oak and shell bark h!ck-
cry; an ideal place for children to
play In the shade and breath the fresh,
air, Its purchase and improvement,
would be the first practical step IN
Kansas to further the advancement
OF the Fresh Air problem so recently
agitated by the medical fraternity as
a preventive of tuberculosis.
The Legislature passed the resolu-
tion to accept it for the State as a.
Memorial Park, if the Woman's Re-,
lief Corps would purchase and dedg-
cate it to the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, which is the original plan.
Governor Stubbs has signed the Joint
resolu ion.
This is grand opportunity to pre-
serve as Memorial Park, the ground
uallowed by the blood of patriots,
who struck the first blow for human
liberty. The patriotism we desire to
impress upon the minds of our chill
dren, ''lest they forget" can best be
done by an object lesson by preserv-
ing and oeautifylHg forever this
ground in memory of the early his
tory that made Kansas the most not
ed in the sisterhood Of States, aRd
the flower of the Union.
All contributions forwarded to the
undersigned will be greatly appreciat-
ed and promptly reGeipted for.

THE HOE A HARD MASTER.

The hoe IS one farm implement
which is used far too, much. Hoeing
is hard work and just why SO many
farmers want to do SO much of it
we lave never been able to under
stand. The pillow is the implement
with which to stir the soil and Gull
tiVate the -crop while the weeds and
grass are being destroyed. Some ms
understand this and think all this or
most of it should be done with the
hoe. They are not satisfied unless
they stir the dirt around all the crop
with the hoe. Some will let mules
top Of the row must be fatWeeded
With the hoe. Some we'll let mules
stand in the stables to- hoe when
blowing s the main work needed on
the farm. We have known men to
do this until the grass got a start on
them all because the pillow was neg
lected for the hoe.
If only a few seed are sown in
planting cotton and the weeders and
plOws are kept going as they should
be there Will be no need Of so much
hOeing. Many farmer works himself
and his family and all the hired help
he can get to keep the. hoeing done
when the pillow is the Implement need
ed and could be used by one man.
We advise YOU to study to see how
little hoe work you can cultivate with
and the result will surprise you. The
hoe is a nard Observation-Disclosures

Cement in Place of Wood.

The rapidly Increasing use Of ce-
ment is worthy Of notice. Twenty
years ago one scarcely heard of ce-
ment except in connection with cistern
making, but now We see it used in
buildings Of all kinds. from poultry
houses to the sky-scraping office build
ings. A sidewalk or a stable floor is
made right on the spot, made cheaper
and better than of brick. The venera-
bic Waldo .AroWn. of Oxford. Ohio,
was n Of the pioneers in the use Of
cement for stable and hog house
floors and his claim that such a floor
would save its cost in ten years in ma
ture alone is we'll s~ubstantiated by
hundreds of farmers For the body
or bottom of such work Portland
cement is ueSed with eight parts finely
brOken stone to one part Of cement.
For the top or finishing coat, one part
cement to two of clean gravel is the
correct proportion. Many failures
are due 20 the fact that the gravel
used has been mixed with loan or
earth. and the best authorities agree
hat a successful *o5 cannot be made
unless lean gravel is used.-C. D.

HssrxuT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA

CHESTNUT CTkkkT HkAThh, L PHILADELPHIA
1.-THE Marriage of Kitty a sparkling
comedy adapted from the French by Cos
mo Gordon Lennox for Miss Marie Tenn
pest, the favorite English actress, and
played by her with great success in this
country, will be presented by the Orpheunl
PLAYERS at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, this week, for the first time
at popular prices. Being of French origin,
"The Marriage of Kitty is dainty, chic
and brilliant play, rich in humor and witty
dialogue, rare epigrams and frothy philos-
ophy. 1t is snappy and dashing comedy
involving only seven characters, and the
story moves along with a swing that
makes it absorbing in interest. The COM
plications arise from purely formal mar
rage to secure fortune to rather dull
witted English baronet. Leah Wins1ow
will be seen as the vivacious seKitty,' a
role in which she will appear at her best,
and Charles Balsar will be seen as reg
gle" the husband. Robert Cummings,
Florence Rittenhouse and the other
fayorites of the Orpheum Company will
also be in the cast.
The second year of the Orpheum Play
ers at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Phila-
delphia, is drawing to close and plans
for the coming year are already well under
way. Inc SplCuOtQ SuPPOAi gwen
company has enabled the management to
procure plays of costly and pretentious
character in a manner which is just cause
for pride. Manager Grant Laferty is pre-
pairing many fine treats for the patrons
during the coming season, and he announ-
ces that the company will again be headed
by William Ingersoll and Marion Barney.
Mr. Ingersoll has been associated with the
company since its inception while this
will be Miss Barney's second year as lead
ing woman Within few days Mr.. LATER
ty will announce the remainder of the
company, together with the opening day
of the fall season and the name of the
inaugural production. The plays present
ed during the past year were mostly of re-
cent creation, and, therefore, of greater in
terest to the management than older
dramas. In some cases high royalties had
tojbe paid. For instance, in response to nu-
1nerous requests 1.-THE Rose of the Ran
che" which was unusually costly both as
to royalties and production, was offered.
Two days before the opening performance
the trolley strike was declared and most
all of the week during which the play
was presented few cars were running. |
However, the friends of the Orpheun1s |
were loyal and before the week was over
receipts were more than sufficient to pay |
for the cost of the production.

sKAPTIN RIDDO' Is
OUR NEXT SUNDAY
North Americans New Comic Series
an Attractive Surprise.

The North american promises some
thing out of the ordinary in the way of a
feature for its comic section. and it will
introduce it to its readers on Sunday,
August 80.
The title of the new series is 1.-THE
Turr'ble Tales of Kaptin Kiddo." Grace
g. Widerseim draws the very attractive
pictures of the "Kaptin's" adventures and
Margaret G. Hays furnishes the tales.
Both are out OF the ordinary and both are
attractive.
The little boy in the series is the same
little boy that lives in every home where
there is little boy, and that same little
boy is possessed of an Imagination that
is always active. Most every parent
knows of "Kaptin Kiddo.
The style of the work and the reputa-
ton of the joint authors ought to insure
the immediate success of the series.
