Needed now the lessons that i'm child

Breathe the incense rising from our

Ears that heard our wailing when all
others slumbered soundly;
Hands that toiled unendingly and
feet that never tired;
Heart that will be loyal though the
whole world hate US roundly,
Souls that gave, though in return Sc
little you required.

A Hundred Million Mark.

Topeka.-For the first time in the
history Of Kansas the deposits of
state banks have gone over the hun
dred million dollar mark, Bank Com
missioner Dolley completed the COM
pilation Of figures from the statements
under the call of April l. 1t shows
the deposits to be $102 ,211 ,032, against
500, 505,213 for December 81 last, an
increase of 100000. Undivided
profits aggregate $2,O1O,O52; surplus,
$5,443,730. The capital aggregates
$16,25O,351, an increase of $250,000 in
three months. Loans aggregate $780,
52S,S34, an increase of more than ST.
100000. Overdrafts have decreased.
Cash and sight exchange amounts to
1872, 796,445, slight decrease.
There are 4S3 state banks reporting
for April, an increase of twelve over
December.
"The figures are very gratifying"
said the bank commissioner. "They
show the banks are healthy and pros
porous. There is strong and healthy
demand for money everywhere, and of
course the reverses in Kansas, the
same as in all other sections of the
country. are not so large as they were

SENATOR OWEN FOR HEALTH
ADDRESSED FARMERS CONVEN-
TON ON THE SUBJECT.
of Even Greater importance
Than Natural Resources.

ST. Louis, Missouri.-The feature of
the nights sessions of the big conven-
ton of farmers was the address Of
Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma
on THE Conservation of Human Life
and Health as a National Asset" He
made an earnest plea for a national
department of health, saying in part:
The annual loss to the people of the
United States by preventable death
and preventable sickness on fair COM
mercial value is not less than four
billions of dollars. In % years, with
out interest, without compromising, it
would double the value of our national
assets over and above our natural in
crease under ordinary conditions.
We lose by preventable death $780,
600 human beings annually. We have
on an average 100000 of people seri-
ously sick from one years end to an
other, who must be waited on by other
people.
What are these preventable deaths
due to? To polluted drinking water
to infected milk, infected ice, to i'm
pure foods and drugs, to unsanitary
sewerage, unsanitary housing, to tuber-
culosis, to typhoid and malarial fever,
and number of other preventable d.
seases.
The conservation of our natural re-
sources is of great Importance, the
conservation of our coalfields, forests
water powers, mineral wealth, the de-
velopment of good roads, the improve
ment OF our national waterways, the
conservation of the fertility of our
soil, the conservation of our livestock,
our horses, our cattle, our sheep, our
swine, but far more important is the
conservation of human life and OF the
physical efficiency of the American
people.
Everybody agrees to the wisdom of
this proposition. The real question is
how shall we accomplish this? / be-
lieve in a department of public health
because in fighting disease and in fight
ing death due to preventable disease, it
IS contest between intelligence and
ignorance, and all the authority, dig
nifty and power of the general govern
ment must be put behind the truth and
behind the best methods of dealing
with disease in order to make the peo-
pie realize its value and its truth.

Tax Statements Are Funny.

Topeka.-"A glance over the per
sonal property statements now being
returned in Neosho county for taxa
ton. show some amusing facts" said
Seth G. Wells, former state auditor
"One man in the county has a per
sonal property assessment of $1,000
OF course, there isn't anything start
ling about that, but the fact that his
automobile was assessed at 1885 and
his household goods at SIS makes it a
little more interesting. Another Neo
sho county party has personal proper
ty assessed at $500, $495 OF which was
on diamonds. 1t isn't of much conse
quence, however, what the other S.
represents"

BURN NoN-gEARlNa ORCHARD
Second Largest One in State Destroy
ed by Owner.

ed by Owner.
Topeka.-The Wellhouse apple or
chard on the main line of the Santa
Fe, in Usage county, near Kakarusa,
the second largest orchard in the
state, has been destroyed. The act
was with generalization and malice
aforethought The guilty parties were
the owners.
Twenty years ago Fred Wellhouse,
the apple king of Kansas, set out the
orchard 1t contained 800 acres. Near
ly $1,000 trees were required. The
trees grew fairly well for the first four
years, but when it came time for them
to bear they bucked. An investigation
developed the fact that the soil was
not adapted to apple growing. For fiji
held on to the orchard in the hope that
the elements might produce a change.
Occasionally the orchard would yield
light crop. One year it did manage
to turn out $4,000 worn of fruit. But
on the whole the orchard was a fail
ure.
Last year Mr.. Wellhouse sold the
orchard 1t was divided up among two
or three purchasers. The new own
ers decided not to fool with the or
chard any longer. So one day recently
when the wind was strong and vegeta-
ton all dry they set fire to the or
chard and burned it up. 1t is estimat-
ed that more than $4,000 live apple
trees were burned. Thousands of
trees were burned up entirely. 9th
ers were burned up at the trunks. The
owners will now clear up the ground
and put it into grass. corn and other
crops.
1T made me feel badly to see that
orchard destroyed" said Secretary
Wellhouse of the State Horticultural
Society. 81 helped set it out and I
had hopes of large returns on my
money when the trees were planted.
But as everybody knows, the orchard
was a failure. We didn't examine the
subsoil close enough when we select
ed the land for apple growing. When
we found that we had made mistake
we held on, hoping that something
would happen to make the orchard a
good producer. But we hoped in vain.
The new owners will make more money
off the land in one season with farm
crops than we made during the TWEEN
ty years the orchard was out"

TOLD FARMERS HOW TO SAVE
He Said the People Have Forgotten
the Simple Home Economies
Buy Foodstuff in Bulk.

st. Louis Missouri.-James Wilson
secretary of agriculture, in an address
before the national farmers conven'
ton here, urged the appointment by
the Farmers union of a committee OF
women to study the economy of the
home and the abolition of foodstuffs in
small packages. Secretary Wilson
wants to see return to the old
fashioned way of buying food supplies
in bulk.
Were forgetting the old home eco
Monies. We buy too much in paper
bags, forgetting the sacks and barrels.
One of the best things l could recon-
mend to you would be the appointment
of committee to study the economics
of the home. Rice, sold at wholesale
in Louisiana at two cents a pound,
costs eight cents a pound in the North
in paper bag"

KANSAS MOB DEvAS.
TATES MINE PLANTS
STRIKERS COMPEL MEN WHO
TOOK THEIR PLACES TO QUIT.
Then They Destroy the Machinery
Americans Lead Foreigners in
Destruction.

Pittsburgh mob OF four hundred
striking miners, mostly foreigners,
raided the strip mines Of the Clemns
Coal company, south of here. and
forced the miners working there to
stop work and abandon the workings.
The raiders then broke the pumps
fthe mines, and dismantled the gas
engines. Threatening the miners
with death if they should return TO
work, the raiders next marched on
the mines of the Cherokee ttsburg
Coal company, near by. Here they
found only the enginemen and pump
men working, the miners being on
strike. The enginemen and pump
men were driven from the workings
and threatened. with violence if they
dared to return.
Eight mines in all were visited by
the mob, three of the Clemns Coal
company and five Of the Cherokee
Pittsburg company. Property de-
stroyed will run up into the thousands.
The miners Of the former company
do not work under the rules of the
United Mine Workers of America.
American strikers are said to have
led the foreigners in their attack. The
executive board of the mine workers
in this district deprecated the raids,
and declared they would do all in
their power to bring the offenders to
Justice.
