His Factory.

Leavenworth, Aug. 23,-Upon APP
plicatlon of c. W. Parker, three COM
missioners were appointed Saturday
by Judge William Dill to condemn q
triangular tract north Of Parker's
factory site-if they think 1t should

switch to his factory across his own
land because tt ourve would be TOT
sharp, so he warts to acquire this
triangular tract adjoining his land on

the Ryan estate and. Parker applied
to the board of railroad commission
ers for permission to start condemns
ton proceedings in the district court

lished in a newspaper thirty days be-
fore they can begin.

fact that Abilene did not get the

satisfied. The team was in the first

Jennings sprained his ankle and was

handsomer ball player in ball

league.
Wheatley also has gone to Kansas

team on Sundays. Wheatley, al
though picked off the corner lots
has proven to be the whole lot him
self. He undoubtedly will play in
larger league next season.
Britton returned to his home at
Parsons where he is Senior at the
high school. Britton is another find
and will play in faster company next
season.
Jennings went to MCPHERSON
where he will finish the league with

Should YOU make the circle 1000 miles from the central

Within 500 miles more than seventeen million reside Con-

BACK TO THE FARM.
KAN3.

Nine hundred million dollars worth
of Agricultural products were export
ed from the United States last year.
according to the bureau of statistics
in the department of commerce and
labor. Secretary Wilson says that the
total was $S.776, O00. 900, so that a lit
tie more than 10 per cent. Of our farm
products were sold abroad and the
home consumers had to be content
with the remaining nine-tenths. This
is a healthy condition, but doubtless
helps to explain the high price OF pro-
visions in this country. Secretary
Wilson thinks the high prices are due
to the fact that there are too few
farmers and too many distributors, too
many young men rushing to the city,
instead of staying home and filling
the soil. If we are to supply Europe
as well as America with food stuffs
we must increase the number of farm
ers with the increase of our popula-
ton, and IL farming is made and con-
tinues sufficiently profitable there will
be no lack of farmers. The poor re-
wards of farming in the past have
driven the farmer boys to other pur-
suits. There will be a cry of back
to the farm" as soon as it is clear
that there is money in farming COM
mensurate with the toll which it ex-
acts from those whose livelihood is
the cultivation of the soil.

Help Is Scare In Kansas.

Il don't know what the farmers are
coming to-" said Charles Loux, big
farmer near Westmoreland. 1T is al
most impossible for us to get hired
help any more. In my section we are
paying from $35 to $50 a month for
hired men and we must give them the
privilege of keeping a horse and bug
gy and other expenses. If we have
no buggy shed we must build one for
them. Whenever they take a notion
to lay off or make trip they lay ost
the work for us to do during their alb
sence. 1 guess the solution is for the
farmers to only plan to put in the
crops they can tend themselves and
let the rest of their land go back to
pasture"

The claim that men could make a
better business administration of for
eign missionary affairs than women if
they would only take as much inter

body who has ever patronized an oys-

the ratio to one oyster to the bowl
and the best business talent in the
