cations for . favorable yield are more
than bright
While It cannot be said that the
crop will be . bumper one. . con-
ssryative estimate. based on the opin-
Ions OF various ranchmen and person

ons-half to three-Quarters OF the best
average yield. and this in spite OF the
unusual weather conditions which
thus far have prevailed.
Many OF the growers state they
expect this seasons yield will be the
beet in five or six years and in every
case the berries are OF excellent quail
ity. being large and luscious.
The main problem confronting the
growers at the present time is the dis
covery OF variety particularly suit
able to this locality as regards soil
and climatic conditions. Al present
the Bederwood Is cultivated most ex-
tensively, but a number of the ranch
ers are experimenting continually
with new plants and II seems only
Q question OF time before this variety
Ia suppianted by a new one.
While the Bederwood has many
good qualities-it is very prolific and
the fruit IL OF excellent quality and
navor-ft Is generally considered a
poor shipper and some growers do
not favor II strongly because Of a
tendency TO ripen on one side only.
One point being urged In Its favor by
some is that II has a high stand OF
foliage which means clean berries, as
they do not lie in the mud-a fac,
to be considered by irrigation farm
erS.
A number Of the producers are also
experimenting with the later vari-
eties. with q view TO saving the crop
from n late frost
Below we give a list of some twenty
growers interviewed with a conserva-
tive estimate Of the yield they expect.
Mr.. Frank Arnold. one OF the larg-
est growers. has about three acres
in Bederwood and Warneid. The yield

There is a somewhat prevalent no
ton that Christian Scientists look
upon the ills of this present state OF
existence with lofty unconcern and
content themselves with saying:
There is nothing the matter with the
world. God is all and everywhere
and the only reality. hence We need
not trouble ourselves over the flimsy
appearance Of that which is not real"
But this is a mistaken estimate Of our
attitude. We are more than ever
keenly alive to the needs Of mankind.

Mrs. Grail roomed in the building
and all of her property persisted in
the flames.
Since this time Mrs. Grail has been
in almost destitute circumstances, and
has only been able: to exc out her ex-
istence through the Kindness of friends
and by exercising the utmost frugality
in providing for her wants. She has
at various times applied for a pension,
but the government does its work
slowly and she has no hopes of any
thing. She is now over sixty years of
age, and needs some kind of assist
ance.
On account of her heavy losses in
the Crawford theatersfire, L. NJ. Craw-
ford, who now controls all the theaters
in Topeka, has upon the urgent re-
quest of Mrs. Crall's friends, agreed to
open the Majestic theater for bene-
fit performance next Sunday night.
The entire proceeds of the entertain
ment will be turned over to- Mrs. Grail.
Mr.. Crawford will pay all the expenses

friends or relatives to lend her
financial aid in her old age, is Mrs.
Louisa ST. Clair Grail. Mrs. Grail is
a lady of refinement and almost noble
birth as far as such things go in
America She is the great grand
daughter of Major General Arthur st.
Clair, a hero of the Revolution. who
rendered efficient and valiant services
in behalf of the -colonists. She is also
a direct descendant of Anna Stuy-
vesant a sister of New York's famous
Dutch colonial governor. Phoebe
Bayard, a direct descendant of Anna
Stuyvesant was the wife of General
st. Clair and consequently the great
grandmother of Mrs. Grail
Mrs. Grail was once prominent in
the social life of Kansas and es-
pecially of Atchison where she lived
for many years. Her father was
Robert Graham who settled in
Atchison in the territorial days, and
who served throughout the civil war
He was for the greater part Of the
rebellion a eommissary with the rank
of captain but near the close of the
war was brevetted major
James M. Graham. a brother, was
in the Eighth Kansas regiment
throughout the war. He started the
war as a captain but was promoted to
the rank of AFOREMENTIONED and
brevetted colonel 80
The family after !. the4ss war grew
prominent in social and public affairs
in Atchison. Mrs. Cralps husband
died fifteen years ago. and left but lit

Grail soon after moved TO Topeka
where she met with other reverses.

all her property and means in the
fire which DESTROYED the old Crawford

new THEORY SPREADS
RAPIDLY OVER COUNTRY.
Colorado Woman Gives Reasons For Her Abiding
Faith in Cooper.

L. T. Cooper's theory concerning the
respect and comment every day.
Cooper claims that 20 per cent of
all ill health is due to stomach trouble.
When interviewed about his theory
recently, he said: Stomach trouble
is the great curse of the Goth century
so far as the civilized races are con-
cerned. Practically all of the chronic
i'll health of this generation is caused
by abnormal stomachic conditions. In
earlier days, when the human race
was closer to nature, and men and
women worked all day out of doors,
digging their frugal existence from the
SOIL the tired, droopy, half-sick peo-
pie that are now so common, did not
exist.
ITO be sure, there was sickness in
those days. but it was of virulent
character, and only temporary There
was none of this half-sick condition
all the time with which so many are
afflicted nowadays.
81 know positively that every bit of
this chronic i'll health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stoma ch
in civilized people today is degenerate.
1t lacks tone and strength. This weak
ness has gradually come through a
sedentary existence I further know
that few people can be sick with. the
digestive apparatus in perfect shape.
The sole reason for my success is be-
cause my New Discovery medicine
tones the stomach up to required
strength in about six weeks time. That
is why I have had more people come

the Cooper remedies and obtained a
treatment of Cooper's New Discovery.
Il never in my life found medi-
cine so helpful. The first bottle put

dition. allsying the pain in my stom-
