Profit in Broom Corn

Topeka, April s.-"The farmers
of Kansas should not put all their
eggs in one basket said Bert Lind
sley, the big broom corn dealer
Of Wichita. "Instead OF pplowing
up all their poor wheat and putt
ing in corn they should plant some
broom corn.o
1t is Mr.. Lindley's opinion that
the farmers could swell, their bank
accounts materially if they pro-
duced some broom corn. Dealers
have been paying the farmers as
high as $175 a ton for it lately. 1t
takes from three to four acres to
produce a ton. This would { net
from $50 to $50 per acre
"What other crop gives such e
turns?" asked Mr.. Lindley. aNo
wheat or corn farmer ever makes
that much per acre. And it is a
dry weather crop, too"

The Candidate

A candidate has only two legs,
but he's got lots of faces, and is
always smiles-whether he feels
like it or not. His chief occupa-
ton is to shake hands with the
men, flatter the women and kiss
the babies. He ought to give
nickels to boys too, but he don't
always do it. To be an expert
candidate is to be able to talk
pleasantly all the time without
sayin' nothin'.
All candidates are bad men,
thugh; if you don't believe it just
ask their opponents.
The candidate goeth out in the
morning full of wind, and return
eth at eventide full of hope-or
maybe it amt hope, but that's
what he talks like it is. All can
didates are sure winners until
election day, then most of them
haint.
There are more male candidates
that female ones except Of leap
years.-Ex.

In fact it will grow almost without

it is cultivated the bigger the crop.

Newspaper writer's and public
speakers frequently refer to mon
ey as "the root of all evil" presum
ing to quote the Bible as respon-
sible for such an erroneous state
ment. The Bible is authority for
the statement that "the love of
money is the root of all evil"
"For wisdom is a defense and
money is a Defense" said Solomon,
And "a feast is made for laughter
and wine maketh merry; but mon

modern way Of saying the same
thing is "money talks" Money is
never an evil in itself but when
it is coveted or "loved" as limo

To Boost Any Old Democrat

Jefferson City, Mo. April s-Dem
~ocratic editors of the Eighth Con-
gressional District met in Jeffer-
son City today and agreed to muz
zle themselves 80 far as the dis
cussion of the merits or d~eficien-
cies of candidates for Democratic
nominations are concerned. j hey
decided to swallow any sort of
bait that is offered by the politi-
ticians without making any wry
face. This is expected to greatly
increase the crop of Democratic
candidates.
Their policy as outlined by the
speakers is to go easy Oh state
issues or ignore them and bear
down upon the tariff law. This,
they believe is their only salvation
int he coming fight. Such issues
as honest elections, the regulation
of public utilities and other live
topics are to be tabooed.

A Good Move

Assessor Brinkop, who was flout
ed by several wealthy taxpayers
who refused to make returnsE has
done some flouting on his own
account by raising the assessment
on the personal property of five
of the men by a total OF about
&c. 200, 600. d. r. Francis, who re-
fused to make a sworn tax return
has been assessed $4,000, 900, a raise
as compared with the assessment
on which he paid last year of l.
$4,000.
An increase was tackled on the
personal property assessment of
every taxpayer who DID not make
a personal sworn return when com
manded to do so by the assessor.
The list included about twenty
wealthy men, of whom probably
a dozen made the returns as re-
luired by law. The others ignored
the commands, after sending law
yers to try to induce Brinkop to
recede from his stand and make
the assessments himself.
Adolphus Busch, who paid on
$500, 900 of personal property last
year, was assessed 100000. AL
fred E. Clifford, who paid taxes
on the modest sum of $133,OOO last
year, is to be stuck for 81, OOO, 900 by
failing to make "a return. John
Scullin, who was paying on the
basis of $1sS,100 last year, was as
sessed for 100000 by Brinkop,
and Henry s. Priests assessment
was raised from $4,000 to 800, 600.
James Campbell, who had been
paying on $45o,o0O, was one Of the
first to make a sworn return when
the notices were sent out in No
vember. He confessed to being
owner Of personal property valued
at $2,7 0 900. He was the only man
in the multimillionaire class to max
a sworn statement, though every

Points Regarding the Census

The census begins April Is and
must be completed in thirty days.
The enumerators will wear a
badge inscribed "United States
Census, 1910"
The law requires every adult per
son to furnish the prescribed in
formation, but also provides that
1t shall be treated confidentiaIly,
SO that no injury can come to any
person from answering the ques-
tions. .
1 The Census Bureau prior to April
Is will distribute to every farm
owner and tenant in this state a
blank or schedule containing the
Census questions relative to farm
operations and equipment. This
should be filled up, if possible, not
later than the morning of April is
but il any one has been unable to
fill it up by that time, he should
do it as soon afterwards as he can.
People who do not speak English
or who do mot understand the
schedule completely should get
help from others, If possible, in
filling it up.
The President has issued a pro-
clamation, calling on all citizens to
cooperate with the Census and as
suring them that it has nothing to
do with taxation, army or jury ser
vice, compulsory school attendance
regulation Of immigration, or en-
forcement OF any law, and that no
one can be injured by answering
the inquiries.
1t is Of the utmost Importance
that the farm census OF this state
be complete and correct.
Therefore every farm owner, and
tenant should promptly, fully,
and accurately fill up the "Ad-
vance Farm Schedule" and care
fully preserve 1t for the enumera-
tor when he calls.

At the Colorado Interstate fair
held in Denver last September a
novel and interesting contest was
held to test the relative merits of
flour from different parts of the
country. Bread. rolls and cake
made from flour from Kansas. Mil
nesoia, Illinois and other eastern
wheat producing states were en-
tered in competition with bake
stuffs made of Colorado flour
The contest was of more than us
ual interest. as 1t settled for all
time the question so often asked
as to whether Colorado flour is
superior in baking quality to east
ter made flours.
The result of the contest showed
conclusively that the claims OF the
manufacturers of Colorado flour
are well founded. as the committee

This is another victory for Colo

ricultural products have won recog-
milton in competitive contests all
over the country. and the clean cut
victory won by Colorado flour in
the above contest adds another laur'
el to Colorado's crown of agricul-
tural supremacy.
When we consider that Colorado
flour is manufactured and sold to

81 Rexall' sotre can be.
These "Rexall stores" OF which
there is only one in each city. no
matter how large. are combined for
purchasing power Every "Rexall"
store has the right to include their
order with the $500 other 'Rexall"
stores in America and these COM
bined orders are all classified and
arranged so that the $500 stores
buy as one. Anyone can see the
benefit to be derived by such a
method. Whole factories are
bought up. The purchasing agents
in Chicago and New York are able
to practically dictate prices to the
sellers. To give an example the
stationery order alone delivered to
New York for the 'Rexall' stores
for this falls business was a train
load of &c cars. This means the
largest order for stationery ever
given in the world by several times.
Now. the Up-to-Date Drug Co.
of Lamar is an appointed Rexall
store and they are entitled to all
benefits derived from this combined
method of purchasing.

Lacked Nerve to Veto 1t

Last week Governor Shafroth al
lowed the Railroad Bill to become
a law without executive approval
or rejection.
The new law does away with the
present railroad commission and
creates another commission to be
appointed by the Governor. 1t
takes away from the commission all
rate-making powers and gives 1t
authority only over dead freight in
transit.
1t is questioned whether the COM
mission has any authority over the
shipment of either live stock or
perishable goods Shippers claim
that rebating can be accomplished
under its provisions and where
prosecutions are made. penalties
cannot be enforced for each viola
ton proven but one penalty must
cover all violations from the time
of the last prosecution. In other
words. should man be convicted
on one hundred counts, he could
only be given the penalty for one
count. Governor Shafroth states
that the law is bad and that he al
lowed il to go into effect simply
on the ground that District Court
had declared the preceding law un-
constitutional.
The decision of the District Court
had not been carried to the Su-
preme Court.
