The editor took another drive
over the Experiment station
Wednesday afternoon and looked
at the corn. On the highest
ground is planted the expert
ment plats. The seed for these
plats is collected all over the
west half of the state. We no.
ticed some corn, the seed of
which was furnished by III. w.
Joy and Herbert Vine of this
county, that looked good 1t is
also noticeable that the corn re-
ceiving the best cultivation is
not affected by the hot weather
the past few days, while the corn
little cultivated is drying up.
One large field we saw is planted
with varities of white corn on
one side and yellow on the other
With the same cultivation the
white corn is doing best.-Hays

You may think Kansas has a
lot of freak laws, but the Atchis-
on Globe has discovered a state
that has us beaten a country
block. Under a new Massachu-
setts law, no one must go to bed
who is not clean, and every sleep
ing room must be open at the top
at least twelve inches. The law
applies particularly to lodgings.
After guest has gone to bed,
his landlady must enter, turn
down the covers and look at his
feet and then measure the win
dow opening. That is, she must
do it unless she wishes the sa
credness of the law violated on
her premises. The guest may
not like it, but that makes no diff
ference. How will his landlady
know he is law abiding unless
she turns down the covers and
looks?

Look Out For The Law

The reformers have foisted so
much law on the people that a
person hardly dare turn around
any more. Here is something
from the Atchison Globe that
will interest the farmers of this
county, and especially those op-
Grating threshing machines.
Here is a peculiar case of what
law enforcement will do: Her
bert Holbrook, a seventeen year
old orphan boy, has been work
ing with Will McNirney's thresh-
ing outfit at Good Intent. Yes
terday Mr. McNirney was noti-
fed by the county attorney to
discharge young Holhrook, as he
was working more than eight
hours a day. Holbrook was ac-
cordingly discharged. and now
has no home and is not able to
carr his living. Mr. McNirney
says it is impossible to operate a
threshing outfit under the eight
hour law. Holbrook is an excel
lent young man and accustomed
to work in the country. The law
says that a man under twenty
one may not work more than
eight hours day. What is to
become of the young man while
the law is being enforced?

More About Flour Mill-Offi-
GERS in Consultation With
own Cornmiasioners.

Mr.. il. Prevatt, president; Mr..
W. X. Culbreth, vice president,
and Mr.. J. w. Lowe, secretary
treasurer, of the Raft Swamp Co.
Observation-Disclosures, were in con-
sultation yesterday with the
mayor and town commissioners
in regard to what the town
might offer the company in wa
ter, lights, etc. AS stated in a re-
cent issue of The Robesonian, it
has been definitely decided to To-
cate the flour mill of the compa-
ny here, but it is understood that
Pembroke is making efforts to
get it located there and has offer
ed a lot free. No definite offer
has been made by the town COM
mlssloners as yet, but the advan-
tage of having the mill located
here is fully realized and it is
safe to say that every possible
concession will be made. AS stat
ed when the first mention of this
enterprise was made, the lot up-
on which it is desired to build is
owned by Mr.. A. w. Mclean, and
and as soon as he returns from
abroad, which will be about the
10th inst. steps will be taken to
build.
The mill is an assured fact and
the officers of the company as
sure farmers that they need not
hesitate to plant wheat. The COM
pany will have threshing ma
chine and everything else neces-
sary to take care Of a wheat crop.
Besides other advantages, raising
wheat will be an extra crop, as
after the wheat is gathered a
crop of corn or hay may be made
on the same land.
At a meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the company Monday, Gen.
F. A. Bond and Mr.. w. K. Cul-
breth were added to the board
of directors, succeeding DR.. An
drews and Mr.. j. P. Smith.
