This One Wasn't Spoiled.

A boy of IL years of age, with an
air of melancholy resignation, went
to his teacher and handed in the fol-
lowing note from his mother before
taking his seat:
Dear Sir:-Please excuse James
for not being present yesterday.
He played truant, but you needn't
whip him for it, as the boy he played
truant with and he fell out, and he
licked James; and man they threw
stones at caught him and kicked him;
and the driver Of a cart they hung on
to, licked him; and the owner OF a
cat they chased licked him. Then
licked him when he came home, at
ter which his father licked him; and
had to give him another for being
impudent to me for telling his father
So you need not lick him until the
next time.
He thinks he will attend regular II
the future. Christian Advocate.

Drys Beaten in Illinois.

Chicago, April.-Advocates of the
saloon followed their victories at the
township elections by making further
inroads into dry territory at Tues
DAYS elections in Illinois cities and
villages.
OF thirty cities and villages voting,
the result in twenty-three was favor
able to the liquor men. Six places
that have been dry the last two years
voted to restore the saloons, while
seventeen cities voted to keep them.
Herscher in Kankakee county was
the only saloon town captured by the
drys. The anti-saloon forces put up

ton cities.

COURT BY HIMSELF
A Census Taker Was Constable,
Attorney and Justice.

K. C Star
E. NJ. Stockton, a census enumera-
tor in Kansas City, Kan, is whole
judicial system by himself. This was
demonstrated when he acted in sue
eession as census enumeration, con-
stable, attorney and justice of the
peace.
While Mr.. Stockton was riding
along James street in buggy with
his father, 7. A. Stockton, who had
accompanied him to hold the horse
while the population was being emu
merated, he saw two men fighting.
Ernest Gates, a messenger, 10 years
old, of 43 North First Street, was beat
ing Milos Kovacovic, butcher, 20
years old, who lives in the patch. ="
As a Justice of the peace Mr.. Stockton
has constable's authority to make
arrests and to deputize assistants.
"Help me TO arrest those boys" he
said to his father.
The arrest was made and the Stock
tons started to take the boys in the
buggy to the Wyandotte county Jail.
John Miller, a First Ward politician,
who had seen the arrest, hurried up
with Charles Lorton, patrolman, to
interfere.
"You have no authority to do any
thing of this kind" Miller said, "Lor-
ton, arrest this man for impersonat-
Ing an officer and take him to the
police station"
Stockton accompanied Lorton to
the James Police Station, but, acting
as his own lawyer, he soon was able
to convince Alexander Jackson, the
sergeant, that he had not exceeded
his authority was released. He has
tened to the Wyandotte county JAIL
organized an impromptu justice cour
in the sheriff's office, and fined Gates
! and KKovaeovie 81 81 each for disturbing

Hyde's Lawyers Have
Grand Jury Evidence.

Kansas City, April.-Frank Walsh,
chief counsel for DR.. B. Clark Hyde,
on trial for the alleged murder OF Col.
Thomas H. Swope, admitted that he
had in his possession notes of the evil
dence given before the Grand Jury
which indicted Hyde.
Judge Latshaw angrily declared
that this evidence was the property
of the State, and commanded Walsh
to restore ii to the prosecuting attor-
neys. The question was raised by
Prosecutor Virgil Conkling, who said:
"Your Honor, l am informed reliably
that the counsel for the defense are
in possession Of evidence, the prop
erty of the State, which was stolen
from the Grand Jury ROOM"
Judge Latshaw ordered that the
Grand Jury notes be returned as
quickly as possible, and that in the
meantime DR.. Hyde be placed under
arrest. As the Marshal approached
Hyde, Attorney Walsh asked a few
minutes delay, and then announced
that the defense was willing to turf
the papers over to the State If i
should be agreed thus defense nigh

The Poultry Yard.

Let other folks do the fancy poul-
try business. You stick to practical
work.
Keep the brooder perfectly clean,
and always feed the chicks in a clean
place, if you want them to live and
thrive.
The baby ducks are just as we'll oil,
in fact BETTER without water to swim
in until they have grown their crop OF

Bits of meat carried out with brine
from the barrel and left on the ground
will give hens serious bowel trouble.
Don't risk it.
Keep your hens from straying over
on the land of your neighbor. Be
particular about this if he has any
crop growing there.
Give the houses a good cleaning,
and pillow or spade up the yards.
Dirty houses breed vermin, and pol
luted soils are incubators for the cape
worm.
Give the turkey hen and her brood
a coop large enough for the mother
to move about and stand erect in, and
you won't be so apt to have bad luck.
Guinea fowls will now be laying,
and watch must be kept on their
nests, as it is their nature to hide

It's annoying, perhaps, just about
supper time, to have to stop to wash
dirty eggs when the hen breaks one,
but this is a task that must not be put
off until tomorrow.
If fowls must run at large on range
over farm, by all means keep one
breed, and give them all the time,
knowledge and attention possible
You will have something of which
you may be proud, and that will prof

Center of Population.
"or1d'c Work

One of the most interesting results
of the census will be the determine
ton Of the center Of population 1t has
been lettering in Indiana for genera
ton, unwilling to leave the state of
pawpaws and popular novelists. There
are indications, however, that the mys-
terious point may have been attracted
toward the west and south. and a bare
possibility that the Hoosier state will
be at last forsaken. 1t is certain that
there has been a remarkable growth
Of city population in Texas and Okla
homa. 1t is already clear too, that
the increase OF city population has not
been go rapid as in the previous de-
cade. The biggest and the most cities
are in the east.
It would, however require a jump
OF seventy miles for the center" to
clear Indiana. and only once since the
census began has so long a jump been
made Between 1850 and 1860 the point
passed over eighty-one miles. The
average 10-year trip is thirty-seven
miles, but in the last decade, 1890 to
1900, only fourteen miles We're passed.
Always the movement has been toward
the west. the path following closely the
thirty ninth parallel Of latitude
1t was just l2O years ago. IN lI9O,
that the center of population was first
located-on the eastern shore of Mary
land Ten years later saw it eighteen
miles west Of Baltimore. The next de-
cade witnessed the acquisition of the
Louisiana territory. fact which be-
trayed itself in a southern trend Of the
point during the years 1900 and 1920.
Then 1t resumed its movement due
west, marking spots forty. fifty five
and eighty miles apart BY 1860 it had
reached a spot twenty miles south Of
Chi!!icothe. o Then, &. FRS. with d
slight northward tendency 1t passed
on for it's sojourn near Columbus. Ind.
The census makes no effort to show
the center Of political power. but It
may safely be concluded that this also
has not moved toward the east during
the decade past

States postoffice in our own city. In
Third-That the market Is over
stocked. This Is exaggerated. Other
lines OF business often carry a thirty
days surplus on hand and, in many
cases, manufacturers who have cars
stored have not in eXces OF this thirty
days allowance Then, too, this cry
came just at the period when builders
were changing from 1910 to 1911 mod
els. and naturally there is a halt when
perhaps new machinery Is installed
and the plants arc overhauled. The
day is coming. l believe, when there
will be less of this announcement
business" every time another year Is
added to the dar. because cars
are now moro standardized.
The overstocked complaint reminds
me of the story of two cranberry mer-
chants One cut the prices on his ber-
res because they were not good and
"got by for while. The other had
god berries and was not popular among
the customers until they learned when
he was regarded by thor trade. SO
when I hear of manufacturers CLOSING
out" cars, 1 simply say bad cranber-
ries"
In short. the auto does not threaten
the financial stability of the country,
but the mere fact that the farmer
upon whom we all depend. can afford
cars is to me a sign of prosperity. II
is logical to step from the horse power
age to the gas-motor age. Otherwise
We would turn the hand of the clock
of progress back to the ox-cart Man
becomes more civilized as he conquers
the science of locomotion.

Tho Automobile Here to Stay.


There is only one thing the matter
with the automobile business and that
is what ought to bet is now going
thru the transition period, from the
game" and fad" stages to COM
mercial, tried and accepted basis.
Until now the automobile situation
has been one of experiment, education
and confidence inspiring. Man, woman
and child now have faith in this self
propelled vehicle, and the glare and
glimmer of it's coming out" will fade
away, but the motor car will go an for
ever, serving humanity both for bus
mess and pleasure.
The fault found with the automobile
business. which has come to my notice,
consists of:
First-Bankers in the west instituted
a. boycott. This was selfish l think
it was directed by Wall street which
loes sight of the fact that the automo-
bile business during the panic of 1907
saved the day; that today it gives
thousands of men employment; that it
keeps other factories. such as foun-
dries, busy day and night; that 1t feeds
money into the veins Of almost every
phase CT cur industrial nc, and that, Ii
the long run. the bankers profit. Then.
too, who appointed these bankers as
guardians over how we should spend
cur money? I Is not better for ten
people to own a car EACH than for the
banker to own ten and the other nine
have none?
Second-That the motor car is an
economic waste and a luxury. Men
have committed suicide after losing
their money in the stock markets and
others have wasted their earnings on
private trains. This is the nature of
extravagant and foolhardy people, and
because this nature may have in some
cases been directed into the autos d.
rection, it is not the fault of the car.
Because some people mortgaged their
homes for cars is no sign that the ma
chine is a menace to our American
homes. 1t is g. boon to society. It
saves lives. adds pleasure, gives recre-
alton and brings families into cloer
communion.
AS q profitable investment it has
been proven a tine and money saver
