WHY KANSAS GAINED.

Why should anyone be surprised
because this great and rampantly
glorious state of Kansas shows up at
the Potomac with a gain of more than
100000 population in ten years? asks
the Kansas Industrialist, and it con-
tinues: Was there any reason to sus-
pect that Kansas would be among the
''also rans?'' Did Missouri, for in
stance, suppose that Kansas had been
standing idly around twiddling its
metaphorical thumbs during the last
decade?
Why should not Kansas exceed its
record of gain in the previous ten
years, and who shall say that in the
next ten it may not slip over another
three hundred thousand increase? Go
to Missouri, Iowa and Indiana and also
few more in the enervating east, but
keep your eyes upon Kansas.
A gain of Is per cent! Forsooth
and also gadzooksl Kansas will go
that Is per cent better in 1920 if the
rural communities, meaning especially
and particularly the farmers, realize
that the states future depends upon
the intelligence of it's agriculturists,
upon modern, scientific tilling of the
soil; upon conservation of fertility
rational rotation" some one has call
ed it; upon keeping the states plant
food inside the states boundaries;
upon better dairying and more of it;
silos to stop the wasting of a third
of the states corn crop; in short
upon the things for which the states
agricultural college has been pleading
and lecturing for years. Those are
the things, the forces that have made
Kansas go ahead. Why not tell
about it?
And now, if every farmer will please
| get back to his own land and attend
to it instead of leaving that duty to
tenants, the state will have more good
roads and more modern farm homes
and more happy women and children
| in spots that now show struggling
fences. ungraded and undragged and
untouched highways, large acreages
and dwindling yields. and the other
lamentable drawbacks inevitably a
part of a landlord system.
Kansas has thousands of farm
homes filled with smiling faces, but
they are faces that smile across their
own acres. No doubt a few rural
counties in the state will show a de-
crease in population. but where that
is true an investigation will develop
reasons not connected with the dis
turbing "cityward" tendency. Some
Kansas boys and a few Kansas girls,
doubtless, have gone into the great
centers of population to suffer or sue

of the large colleges in the east, which
are experts in the football arena, form
league so that the football champion
ship of that section of the country for
a season may be definitely determined.
Present condition of affairs in this
particular appear, however, to be
more advantageous to these colleges.
Several of them can claim the cham
pionship each year and there is no
way of disputing their claims. This
may leave the championship question
unsettled, but it makes the colleges
feel much better than they would if
they were forced to recognize the foot
ball team of one of their number to
be of the superior variety.

a beginning formality was fmpos-
sible-even before the aberrant Lee
came home, Dare and Dreyer were
as much at ease in Sun Flower as at
Sandslope. Lees appearance did not
make them less so. The four, in
deed, coalesced spiritually from the
f1rst-there were rides, walks. sails,
and grabbing parties. An auto which
wheezed about with them o. halted at
its convenience
Clarisse wrote hardly anything. She
had kept her word-Dare knew no
more of her penname than in the be-
ginning. Dreyer had tried clumsily
to find out from other bungaloafers.
but without success-Miss May wrote
things, they knew-but where they
were printed, or how, or when, they
really couldn't say.
Once Dare set trap for her
asked her to copy on her machine
some fragments of verse. He knew
that there was individuality in such
workout Clarisse returned him
sheets SO fairly written, so letter per-
feet feet they BETRAYED nothing; More
small, yet most distinct, with each
word double spaced. Looking mar
rowly about Sun Flower at his next
call, he discovered that there were
two machines-a battered veteran,
and a span new creature of the light
est make. 1t was the new machine
which had done his work-Clarisse
admitted so much readily. Beyond
that she would not go-neither would
she let Dare use the older instru-
ment.
You are here to play. not work, -
she said. Besides, you can afford to
hire typing-in the interest of unor-
ganized labor, I forbid your doing it
yourself
There had been no touch of senti-
ment, nor indeed of anything but
good companionship in the summer.
Notwithstanding, Dare found himself
fathoms deep in love. Clarisse had
fascinated him from the first scorn-
ful look-yet it seemed he must lose
her. Try as he would, he could not
pierce her armor. Up to a certain
point she was frank as the sunlight
and quite as companionable. Beyond
that he could not pass-yet somehow
he was sure that she cared. In the
assurance he took a desperate chance.
Lee and the happy Dreyer. openly
her slave, had gone for sail. Dare,
stretched on the sand, chin in hands,
half raised himself, saying slowly, and
covertly watching Clarisse: This is
the last day of summer. I'm going
in shape for my wife,
There! I've felt all along you were
an angel. Now my premonitions are
justified" CIarisse said, but the oyes

Aeroplanes May End War.

That war will become impossible N
the not very distant future is the con-
viction of John B. Moisant, American
airman, who caused establishment a
few weeks ago by flying from Paris
across the British channel with a pas
senger and then, after many delays
and mishaps, reaching his goal, Lon
don. The gold cup which he won by
this flight stands on the center table
of his room in the Hotel Astor;- where
Moisant is staying in preparation for
approaching flying contests.
'It is only a question of a few years
when war will be at an end" he
said today. There will be no great
governments which, by their wealth
and armament, can overawe and over
power small governments; all will be
equal, and this change will be the
work of the aeroplane. You see, a
fleet of thousands of planes could be
built for the money it costs to build
modern dreadnought, and such a
fleet could destroy fleet of battleships
with the greatest ease. Just imagine
the effect of such fleet passing, say,
twice over New York City"
Moisant was, asked if one was SO
secure in the air that missiles or ex-
plosives could be dropped with ac-
curacy.
''Why, certainly he replied. ST
can steer my planes with one hand,
either the right or the left. can
change hands, or look about me with
glasses or anything of the sort. When
1 talk about what can be done by
the plane in war I am talking about
an accomplished fact, not dream. 1t
is not that we must make the aero
plane practical; it is only that we
must put it into practice. That is
only a question of time and of capital.
People talk of shooting at flying ma
chimes from the ground and warding
off an attack in that way. We can
travel 70 miles an hour, and more
than that soon. and can go up 5000
feet or more. Can they hit us under
those conditions? OF course not
