Other Kansas News of General
Interest to the Reader.

Manhattan, KAN May 31.-The
United States department of agri-
culture is doing much towards assist
ing the farmers of Kansas in various
phases of the farming industry.
The state agricultural college is Civ
ing tangible and very material aid to
the husbandmen OF the state. both
practically and scientifically. Perhaps
the most direct and substantial bene-
fit derived by the people OF the state
from the agricultural college is the
result of the extension work conducted
by the department of farmers inSti-
tutes. through and by means of which
the farmers receive expert advice as
to the best methods of farm practice,
which, under Kansas conditions of
soil. climate, and both irrigated and
non irrigated agriculture. means the
advancement of the states largest
industry and most prolific source Of
future prosperity.
Among the states most dependabl Bile
resources are the boys and girls that
are being educated in the practical
pursuits and professions of life at this
most useful institution.
The state is to receive a further i'm
petus from the combined efforts of the
national government and the agricul-
tural college. The dairy industry has
already profited by the close attention
given to II by the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, and now, in CO
operation with the agricultural college.
another specialist in the subject is 70
be employed who will give his entire
time to the investigation and improve
ment of the industry, with headquar-
tiers at the agricultural college.
The subject of road building is also
to receive the aid and cooperation of
the government and the agricultural
college. A government expert in road
building will make his headquarters
at the college. upon the grounds of
which a model stretch Of road building
will serve to encourage the construc-
ton Of good roads. In conjunction with
the college, this road advice and i'm
provement viii be extended to different
portions of the state
The only expense that the state Of
Kansas will have to bear. in return for
this proffered service, is the small sum
necessary for dairy and milk testing
apparatus. the few tools and the ma
chinery required in road building be-
ing on hand at the agricultural college.

at Cottonwood Falls Sunday.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, May 81
Memorial services were held at the
Methodist church in this city at which
the old soldiers and their friends lis
tened to one of the finest sermons ever

the most beautiful comparisons The
day was ideal, although the ground

night. The veterans marched in a
body from the G. A R. hall to the
church with their coIors flying. Their
lines are thinning each year, and soon
they will all have answered the last

Charles ]. Lantry. railroad con-
tractor of Kansas City who slips over
to New York between jobs, is trying
to start crusade. Mr.. Lantry is a
church member, and says that the
pastors who allow undertakers' ad-

CoLoRED MAN TURNED DOWN.
Emporia Postmaster Refuses to Make
Him a Letter Carrier.

Emporia, Kan, May 31.-The post
master at this place has developed a
bad case of colorphobia by refusing to
appoint young Afro-American as let
ter carrier for no other reason than
that he is colored and he did not hest
tate to tell him so. The young mans
name is W. C. Phoenix
In the Emporia Gazette, Will White
deplores the condition, but fails to see
solely responsible for it. Mr.. White
says:
The young mans statement is most
significant. It should be considered
by our taxpayers For If young men
like him of the negro race are to find
the door of hope closed to them in
the higher grades of work under the
government, we should close the door
frankly, and not by stealth.
I'VE should, first of all, close our
high schools to negroes unless we are
TO give to negroes who finish our high
school courses some position better
than they can get without the higher
education 1t is folly as taxpayers to
support high schools for boys and
girls, and then force these young peo-
pie always to remain hewers of wood
and drawers of water.
TT is cruel to inspire hope and then
mock it in them It Is vicious to edu-
cate these people so that the world
of spiritual things is open to them,
and then to put them making bricks
rier certainly could give offense to no
one, who, for instance, would employ
a cOlored servant in the house. A
colored mail carrier has no intimate
relations with his patrons and his color
should not bar him from that job

poverished blood and weak nerves result
and the loss OF appetite, gas on the
stomach, dizziness and other symptoms
which follow are only some OF the warn
inc signs that the blood and nerves are
falling to give the stomach sufficient
strength for its work
To treat such a condition as this with
eliminating medicines, which only force
the stomach to work beyond its strength,
or with predigested foods and medicines,
which require no work on the part OF
the stomach, not merely puts off the day
for a cure but further increases the weak
ness Of the stomach.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the most
direct cure for stomach trouble because
they are certain blood builder. Pure
