REGARDING Fertilizer Sales.

Railroad men say the movements of
fertilizers do not start now until
February /. so it is difficult to see how
they can have any influence on the acre
age in cotton. OF the amounts that will
be used in the state this year only
small part has gone out. the farmers in
variably waiting to the last moment in
the hope of getting 1t at a lower price.
Heretofore there has been much trouble
to handle it as the delay made 1t all come
in a bunch. But this yeaf the cotton is
out of the way, a result of the high
prices. and there are plenty of cars
to rush the fertilizer out, which is just
now beginning to move for the new crop.

Poetic influences on Schools.
The influences which have caused the
people of the western part Of Kansas
to beautify the landscape with trees
came from the public schools. The
children In the sod schoolhouses Of the
plains twenty-five years ago were
taught to read and recite the poems
Of Bryant, Whittier and others. Chill
dren who had never seen a grove or
forest of great trees were delighted
with the stories Of Irving and Of the
deep woods where Rip Van Wrinkle
slept for twenty years.
All they knew Of the world was the
broad expanse of prairie land which
they lived in. In hundreds of these

Gohl to Make Appel.

MONTESANO-That William Gohl.
against whom jury rendered a YER
dict of guilty in the first degree of
the murder Of Charles Hadberg, will
make desperate fight before going
to the gallows is evident from prepar-
atoms OF his attorneys, who will
shortly file both q motion for new
trial and notice Of appeal.
Coil himself does not appear shak.
en- by the verdict Mrs. Gohl appears
entirely heartbroken over the verdict.
1t Is common knowledge that Juror
Byng, Of this city alone held out for
acQuittal or even second degree and
that it was his stand which caused the
request for "as much leniency as pos
sible" to be tackled to the verdict. In
view of this fact, it is generally be-
heved that Judge Sheeks will SEN
tence Gohl to be hanged, knowing that
the request for clemency comes in
reality from one man.
