KANSAS COMMENT
THE ExCrrABLE FANS.

Why do people get SO excited over
naii games? In Mondays game with
Sallna down at Island park several of
our business men became so aroused
over the banter that was being given
them by the Salipa boys that they
wanted to fight and invited some of
the visitors out behind the grandstand

looks extremely ridiculous to the on
iooker who does not allow his feelings
10 get away With his good sense and
probably the gentlemen who were SO
pugnasticalIy inclined were ashamed of
themselves after the game was over
and they had cooled down into a nor
mai condition and realized how foolish
tney had been. Baseball ought to be
conducted along different lines and GER

The Duke of the Abruzzfs press
agent is unusually active. He even
goes so far as to make public the
supposedly private messages from the
Duke to Miss Ell1ins to the effect that
he will be pleased to see her when
they meet. A motion is hereby made
that the press associations of the
world refuse to handle this slush in
the future. Certainly, it is not worth
a small fraction of the cable tolls
which it costs.

MARRIED At TWELVE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

MARRIED AT TWELVE.
Recently in an Indiana town the par.
ents of a girl twelve years of age per
mitted her TO marry a man Of thirty.
Which was a vicious crime against
childhood.
More than that. # was a crime
against society. against civilization. a
crime against the future.
Think Of it!
A girl OF twelve years. still in shorl
dresses, whose place should be on her
fathers knee; a girl Of tender years,
whose only serious concern should b.
her school work and whose chiefest
pleasures should be her dolls and play
houses!
The pity OF it.
What does this baby of twelve years
know about a husband or marriage OF
love or life?
No girl is physically At to be a wife
or mother at twelve. Marriages OF
that sort are made only in India and
the orient where wives are regarded
only as toys or playthings.
What sort OF children may be ex-
pected from a child mother not yet in
her teens?
Society puts its age limits upon mar
riage not only for the protection Of the
contracting parties. but to protect it.
self from children born with a handi-
cap.
II is easy to predict the finish of this
child II the marriage stands.
At an age when other young girls
are beginning to entertain their earlier
beaus she will be a broken. nervous
wreck. doomed perhaps to an early
grave.
The wrong OF it,
1t was a ruthless act
The tendency Of our day is away
from early marriages. and for a good
reason. We are beginning to under
stand that wifehood and motherhood
call for a maturity. physical and
mental. OF twice twelve years. II the
race is to advance the mother must be
ft and educated for her duties.
Poor little Hoosier girl!
Justice and decency demand she
should be taken from her new home
by the humane or some other society
and sent TO school.
And decency and justice demand
that the mature parties 70 the conspir
scy should be punished.

Good Ration..

The COW needs good feed the same
as the horse. In fact. she should have
the best, for her milk is designed for
human consumption and cannot be too
carefully guarded Too often the
thoughtless farmer puts off the poorest
food on his COW. 1t may be musty or
dusty or half rotten-anything be con
siders good enough for the COW. This
is all wrong and very bad policy. II
the refuse must be fed give 1t to in
ferior calves OF less important stock.
Yet such is bad policy for even these.
Calves fed on poor and unhealthful
food cannot develop and thrive as they
should. To start a calf with poor feed
ing is to cripple it's future
Not only is musty hay bad for cows.
but 1t carries bacteria, which get into
the milk and spoil it. The effect some
times is TO produce what is called
soapy milk. which froths and will not
sour or churn into butter The fact is
that there is no more place for spoiled
or rotten feed among stock than among
human beings.
