MeIan Bridge Extension Con-
tract Re-Let Again.
Vim. p. Carmichael, Kansas City,
Will DO Work.
THE BID WAS $2S,S6O.
And City Makes $3.50 on New
Deal.
THE BID WAS S2S,S6O.
Pays Difference Between O'COn-
ner and Carmichael Contracts.

The city today re-let the contract for
extending MeIan bridge and will make
$3.50 on the deal. VIM. P. Carmichael
of Kansas City, Mo, secured the con-
tract. His bid was $2S,S60. The new
estimate of the city was S30.872. in
Guiding the cost of the machinery and
material used by the johnson who
abandoned the job and left the equip
ment on the ground.
CarnichaePs Representatives say that
work will begin as soon as they can
bring men and machinery needed here.
The extension was begun last spring
by Johnson & Co. of Kansas City, but
abandoned by them in September. The
Fidelity and Trust Bonding company
of Maryland. had bonded Johnson.
The contract was re-let to O'Conner of
Kansas City after an agreement was
made between the city and the con-
tractor to deduct the cost of the old
equipment, about $4,1S7, from his bid.
This brought it down to $29,210. How
ever, it was decided illegal to deduct
from bid after it had been filed and
the contract was again re-let.
The bonding company in the mean
time had signed a check for the O'Con-
nor bid and thus the city is $3.50
ahead
The bids follow: VIM. P Car
michael, Kansas City, Mo. $2S,860;
Jas. O'Connor, Kansas City. Mo.
$685.; Midland Bridge Co., $34, 474;
Topeka Bridge and Iron Co., $4,000.

The problem of spinsterhood
has become topic of discussion
in England where it seems the
number of spins is on the in
crease. Perhaps the same con-
dition obtains here, but it isn't
regarded problem. There
seems to be a difference in the
England type of spin. Fathers
there complain that their daugh-
tiers must remain at home, an
unwelcome superiority, without
occupation, and regarded as a
failure. In America there are a
good many fathers who have
found old daughters a greater
help than even an eldest son, who
Is the English fathers great
hope. American spins get along
and are useful, and even the
married women envy them occa-
sionally. If the English spins
can't catch men, they should
come to America and catch an
idea which, incidentally. might
prove more helpful. -Atchison

gagged upon this problem the Uni
versity, through it's department
of Entomology, will, when called
upon, cooperate with the farm
ers and wheat growers through
personal direction and CORES

strongly urges, just now, the
burning over wherever possible
of all places where the chinch
bug is likely to be spending the
winter.
Farmers who wish to cooper
ate in this experimental work
will be sent fungus infected bugs
in return for packages of bugs
which they send in to the Uni
versity. In order that the sup
ply for experimental work may
not be exhausted, it will be nee
essary to send with each request
for fungus a goodly supply of
chinch bugs.

You will notice that a new cal
endar hung up in several bust
ness places has this motto,
Smile little, help little, push
ittle.' Did you ever stop to
think what a whole treatise on
success that little motto happens
to be? If you wear the smile
that won't come off you turn
away wrath and disarm your
enemy The people smile back
at you and call you a good fellow;
the sun shines brighter and the
birds sing sweeter and flowers
grow in your pathway Help
little and you carry sunshine
across the threshold where
gaunt hunger is gnawing; you
clothe tender limbs shivering
under the lash of wintry winds
and change means and suffering
to childish shouts of glee. Push
a little and you make the desert
blossom as the rose; you will
build new court houses and orna-
ment the commons with fine
school houses and the corners
with handsome churches; you
will make a hive of industry
where formerly the sluggard
slept in his dirty nest. So smile
little. help little and push a
little and you shall wear crown,
and the metal will not be tin nor
the jewels of colored glass. -The

How to Fight the Seasons
Chinch Bugs Now.

Chinch Bugs Now.
4 By S. J. Hunter, Professor of
Entomology, University of Kan
sas.
The chinch bug, a comparative
ly small, blackish brown insect,
is conspicuous on account of it's
white wings and characteristic
odor. 1t feeds on grains and
grasses. 1t does not devour the
leaves but pierces the plant with
its well adapted beak and there
by saps the plant. During the
winter the adult insect lives in
the protective cover of overgrown
pastures, weed patches along
the roads sides, or in the hedge
rows.
This season it has been I'M
usually abundant at the roots of
the bunch grass. Cold freezing
weather seems to have little eff
feet on the health and vigor of
the chinch bug. Unless effect
i've means are used to destroy
them at this time they will soon
be migrating to the wheat fields,
there to deposit their eggs at
the roots of the growing grains.
Each female insect deposits
from 200 to 500 eggs and out of
these eggs will soon come mi
mute, reddish, mite-like crea-
lures. These soon sap the lives
of plants upon which they feed.
1t should be evident, then, to
the farmer that for every chinch
bug cremated now, the possible
appearance of 500 others has
been forestalled. The present
time is a highly opportune mo-
ment for attack. just as soon
as the ground and grass become
dry enough so that the stocks
will burn close to the ground,
fire should be run over the mead
owS, rOadways, and more es-
pecially those adjoining corn
fields where the chinch bug was
prevalent last year. To be most
effective such measures must be
general. That is, just at this
season of the year when the rush
of farm work has not yet begun,
farmers should band themselves
together by townships and by
counties to do this work. This |
mode of treatment is of greatest
Importance and should not he
neglected. In case the farmers
over the area where chinch bugs |
existed last year do not get all |
these sheltering places burned |
no Of = 4,
them during the season of grow
ing crops will then come up.
The insects will then have to be
dealt with in the midst of the |
growing grain.
There is a well known fungus |
disease that is commonly sup
posed to destroy, when artificial |
~ introduced, the chinch bugs
in great numbers. The extent I
to which this mode of controlling
the chinch bug is effective is a
proposition worthy of serious
investigation. Upon this subject
a recent publication from the
Kansas State Agricultural Col
lege says. Whether artificial in
PRODUCTION of the fungus among
the bugs will, under favorable

is an interesting and highly i'm

Punishment For Perjury.

Perjury is crime more severely
punished in Germany than in any 9TH
er country in the world. Even an ap-
parently trivial misstatement under
oath carries a sentence of ten years in
prison. Excepting murder. there are
few crimes that carry as heavy pen
atty as perjury. The German theory Is
that the entire system Of jurispru-
dence rests on the respect for an oath
administered under the forms of law
and that this must be strictly guarded
in order to secure the punishment of
other crimes and insure justice in civil
cases. Germany stands at one extreme
and the United States at the other.
Fewer people are punished in the
United States for false swearing in
the witness box than in any other
country. Telegraph.

Hammond, La, Jan. 25.-One of
Hammonds respected citizens lies at
the point of death as the result of a
serious malady which attacked him
last Saturday afternoon. J. o. Adams

visiting the home of Rev. w. Depuy,
where a sick child is, and suddenly,
without any premonition whatever,
was taken violently ill and for time
his actions were hysterical With the
combined strength of four or five men,
Mr.. Adams could not be quoted, and
with great difficulty, was he finally
conveyed to his home, where physi-
clans worked with him Saturday night
in an effort to relieve him. The dis
ease is battling the medical fraternity's
skill and they are at loss to attrib-
ute the cause. Mr.. Adams has been
feeling as we'll as usual preceding the
sudden stroke, and his family assert
that he only recently complained of
slight illness, but not enough to war
rant apprehension. Some say that his
strict application to duties has caused
nervous breakdown. His many Ham,

condition and trust that he will sue
