PROHIBITION KANSAS.

1t is customary for the brewers,
whenever fighting restraint of the
liquor traffic, to misrepresent facts
and figures from states that are under
a prohibitory or county option law.
1t is not likely however, that the
Nebraska liquor interests will make
much use in this falls county option
campaign of any facts they may gar
ner from prohibition Kansas.
During the past year forty-eight of
the 105 Kansas counties, with a popu-
lation of 43O,274 did not send a single
prisoner to the state penitentiary.
Fifty-seVen out of the 105 counties
had not single pauper,
Eighty-seven of the 1O5 counties did
not send a single insane patient to an
institution.
Kansas's death rate is the lowest in
the world 7 1-2 in 1000 persons.
The state will boast of the lowest
percentage of illiteracy.
Kansas bank deposits have increased
from $7O,O0O.O0O to $3.50, 100000.
All of this has happened under ten
years of prohibition.
Not being compelled to use their
money for taxes to support prisons,
poor houses and insane asylums, which
are largely filled by victims of liquor,
the people of Kansas are able to put
money in the banks or to buy automo-
biles, and to use their taxes in build
ing school houses and improving health
conditions.
Prohibition has been a success in
Kansas because that state has elected
officials who enforce the law.-Omaha

BIG STRAWBERRIES.
Sixteen to the Quart Grown by Wau- wecus Hill Woman-Bcuncers from Gardener John J. Mara.

The botanists put the strawberry and the rose in the same family, not because they are in all their glory in June, but because of the family like ness of the bloom; and we must all admit that the strawberry is pretty enough and luscious enough to be first cousin to the rose.
 We noticed that an Ohio paper boasted that strawberries had been sent in which measured up 32 to the box; and that seemed to De @ pretty good sized berry to a casual reader; but a Wauwecus hill woman. who de- clined to leave her name for publica- ton. left strawberries for the editor of The Bulletin that weighed IA to the pound; and measured 10 to a rounded quart. If bigger or better strawberries are grown anywhere else on earth they would be worth trav- cling some distance to see.
 John J. Mara, gardener for George H. Pratt, of Asylum street, turns out stra awberries which they run meas the largest specimens are 1 3-4 inches in diameter. They are leviathans, but they haven't just the wild strawberry flavor which the field berries have and which were the only berries our for bears knew. The old men bank on the wild strawberry shortcake still; but we moderns reply that the big straw berries are good enough for us.
 There are about as many varieties of strawberries today IS there are pan sies; and Ne have a cream -colored strawberry witlf>a true banana flavor.
