This news from Kansas that a third
of the winter wheat has been killed in
the ground will create very general
surprise. The government report of
April 1 gave the condition as very
low, but no effort was then made to
estimate the acreage that had been
killed. When there is very little snow
the cold Is often too much for winter
wheat, but the ground was kept pretty
well covered during last winter How
ever, the Kansas farmers are sowing
oats and other crops on a couple of
million acres they seeded in wheat
last fall.

carries countless deadly disease-laden
germs to every part of the bodyl
Pure blood contains the proper
amount of red and white corpuscles to
insure perfect health in man, woman
or child. When there is a lack of
these corpuscles, the blood becomes
thick, sluggish and poisonous--doesn'
furnish correct nourishment to the
vital organs-leads to indigestion,
constipation, skin eruptions, torpid
liver, kidney or bladder trouble, or
other serious arrangement.
The "all gone" feeling, dizzy spells,
pains'in the back. burning sensation in
the stomach after eating, yellowish
or muddy complexion, and similar
symptoms, are danger signals from
deranged organs, and if unheeded,
will likely cause grave results.

New Orleans has a novelty in booms.
1t appears that the great demand of
that city is for babies, and to supply
requirements recourse has been had to
other localities where the birth rate is
larger. A carload of infants from New
York was shipped to New Orleans re-
Gently and disposed OF in a jiffy. In
fact, there were not one-quarter enough
babies to fill the orders. Another in
stallment has been engaged, and it
would seem that any baby looking for
a happy home need go no farther than
the Crescent city to find such an OUTFIT

Twain's Last Pathetic sentimeu

A few weeks before his death Mark
Twain, writing from Bermuda, said:
There is not another orphan who is
SO wrecked, so ruined, so forsaken as
/ am - just a battered old derelict,
washing about the wastes OF the great
sea with nobody on the bridge"
How pathetic, how touching to the
soul of the reader. are these lines
written by the great humorist describ-
ing his loneliness as, far away from
home, he saw the wastes of the great
sea" reckoning him into the far be-
yond. The words are not a murmur
of regret, but refrain in which the
writer, employing his quaint humor,
states that he feels the inevitable SUI
preme moment approaching and that
he is reconciled.

''Yes, there was time when I could hardly bear to look at myself in beauty. CT was hideous and I knew if and my friends knew it.. even if they said nothing to me.
 '1 don't care whether it's just a few stray hairs or a full fedged mus tache,. hair on a woman's face will spoil her beauty. That's all there is the electric needle and all the other remedies I ever heard of. And of course the hair came back. It always really kill the hair. They just burn 1t off the surface and stimulate the roots. Som etineS just couldn't bear SO face anybody with that horrible growth on my face and arms. I was about to give up in despair, when some friend sent me q bottle of Elec- tro-1a. I hadn't faith in the remedy before I used it, but it took just one treatment to convince me. The way that hair came off was marvel and no matter how l9ng left the remedy on it would not burn or smart. That's fhe secret of it's success. You can >ave it on long enough to reach the roots and kill the hair and a cure See, my face is as soft and sn tooth as a little child's and it's been months since I cured myself If you don't believe this, just try Elec-tro-la and see.''

It was without foreknowledge or sus- picion of the murder of Officer Deitz that the Farmer published yesterday an editorial article calling attention to the great number of hoInicides occur ring in this country annually, and to the very small proportion of convic- lions Fortunately in this case. there is no doubt of the obtainment of ade- s1l1ate evidence, or of the identity of the man who did the shooting.
 But insanity provides in this case an apparently competent defence Fortunately, the accused can be safely confined for the remaining period of his life. He should not have been released from his previous confine- ment.

Its de- rlared purpose is to twin public favor for railroads. establish just and wise public policies affecting them, and se- cure for ourselves and our employees the blessings of stable prosperity
 Though this rfofessed purpose is practically in the railroads interest, they. may look beyond formal state rnents of policy and perhaps find in the new organization a possibility of increased prices for their supplies. It Is a we'll established fact that such organizations, whatever their original and professed purpose, usually develop the policy of putting on all that the market will bear.

Consumers of poultry will be inter ested in the following statement by a large New York firm which is said to supply all of the larger places in sew era1 great Eastern cities:
 No cold storage poultry used now has been carried any length of time. Turkeys are put away in December and January when at their utmost perfection; fowls, November, Decem- ber, and January, before they get too old; gos1ings in November; duckEngs in August and September as their sea- son is earlier; broi1ers in August and September before they get too large; ber,. as they get tough after that; capons in January and February, as they are in their prime then. This enables us to supply the demand when nature does not. We would have no roast turkeys from January to Novem- ber; fowls are older and not the quail ity of the younger killed in the early winter; no goslings from November to June; no dIickHngs from December to May or June;~ not enough fresh broil- CTS come in to supply one thousandth part of the demand from November to July and no roast chickens from De- cold-storage goods during the seasons of fresh killed and only when there are no fresh killed or the quality is not up to the standard.
 With the aid of this statement, con- suners can tell with reasonable accur- acy the length of time their poultry supplies, when not fresh killed, have .been carried in cold storage.

Recently, there appeared in this pa per an extract from Cotton, organ of the Southern textile industry. stat ing that the high cost of living is bene- ficial because it will drive men from
 the crowded cities to the farms. A letter from H. D. Kirkland of Howell, Mich, to the House subcommittee on District of Columbia, which is inves- tigatfng the subject of storage of food products, contains the following: 3sYou will not help matters any if you take the men from the factories and put them back on the farm They are in productive industry now.'' MT. Kirt- lands plan of relief is to take 't75 per cent Of the middlemen and put them on the farms or into productive indus tl.y' This would, in his opinion, give the remaining 25 per cent. a trade large enough to permit a much smaller percentage of profit. The trouble with this proposition is that there exists no power which can thus place a limit upon the lawful activities of men.
