J Out in that part of the short
grass country where Fl. j. Nc
Nair of Wa-Keeney, Kas., lives.
! the winter has been severe, and
the ground has been covered
with snow long time. Winter
set in early, and it has been wint-
er ever since according to Nr.
McNair. And the ground is
still covered with snow" he said.
we have some snow out there
every winter, and sometimes
very heavy scow falls, but as a
rule the snow lasts but a short
time, when it melts away But
the quality of the winter this
time is very different. There
are some good features about
such a winter, to be sure. This
heavy snow and continued cold
weather may kill off some of the
green bugs and other pests that
we have, and then it has been
beneficial to the wheat so far.
There is some talk about the
great amount of moisture in the
ground causing some trouble to
the wheat when it begins to thaw
and freeze toward spring. though
that is something that is a spec
ulation, and is not likely co occur
But the continued winter wealth
er has made it necessary to feed
a good deal more, and we will
have to keep this up as long as
the snow remains on the ground.
Wheat certainly looks well now.
and bids fair to make a big crop.
The ground is well moisteped
and there will be no trouble when
spring comes about the surface
of the ground being dry. Trego
county aaS been gradually com
ing up in wheat production, and
with the large acreage we have
now, it may make new record
this season. Very little cattle
feeding is being done, and abont
all that were put on feed in the
fall have been shipped out. .

A new gang of swindlerS are
making this western country
just now. They pick out some
good responsible farmer whose
note will pass current for cash
at the bank. Then they decide
to make him a very attractive Of
fer in the way of selling him the
exclusive territory to sell a childs
writing desk and a chart combin
ed. The farmer is told that he
is not required to put up any
money but he must sell three
dozen of these charts and turn IN
the money to the company for
this right, finally, when every
thing is just right, they insist
that the farmer give them his
note for the price of the 36 charts
or $3.50. It-does not seem that
any man can be worked with the
deal but there are to our know
ledge five of as good men as this
county can find that have been
bit on the deal in the last month.
When we get to making laws for
this state we are going to have a
sign board erected at each cross
road and. on that board these
words, Sign no papers for
strangers. - It has been couple
of years now since lightning rod
swindlers have paid the county a
visit. We were expecting them
to turn up again soon but this
other deal has beat them to it

3Ist Year. Number 4S
Kansas CITY Market Report.

HuhSuS Ottt lfsQi hCt AtpOIt.
Kansas City Stock Var DIS, Jan.
%. 1910
Another moderate supply of
cattle came in today, II, 2,0O0head,
following a run of 1900 here
! yesterday There is no change
IN the situation, except that
more confidence is voiced today,
and opinions generally favor an
early return to normal conditions
in the meat trade, in response to
the inevitable operation of the
law of supply and demand
Shippers have not been very
heavy buyers this week, although
some orders for eastern ship
ment were filed here today, and
packers have been able to take
advantage of this condition to
the extent of 15 to % cents so
far this week on most grades of
cattle. Heavy steers are nearly
steady today, light steers and
she stuff weak to 10 lower today.
and this class got the most de-
cline yesterday Heretofore
medium price cattle have sold as
well or better than other kinds,
because of the heavy demand for
cheap meats, but the present
boycott against meats is operat-
ing largely among the people
who bought the cheap meats,
thereby affecting the class of cat
tie that produce that kind of
meat One lot of steers sold at
ST today, same as the top price
yesterday, and bulk of steers
sell this week at $40 to Sc %,
cows So. .25 to $4.75, heifers up to
1913, bulls 1925 to $500, veals
sharply lower this week, at S6.75
to $500, heavy calves, S3.75 to
S5.25.
Hog receipts today greatly
overran the first estimate of
1900 head, the count finally
footing up close to $4,000 head
for the day. Opening prices
were off to 10 cents, and the
market grew worse all the time,
closing Is to 20 lower, with a top
of $3.50 bulk of sales $500 to
So. 25. In explaining the heavy
run today. the effect of the anti
meat agitation is not considered
as primary; rather that wealth
er conditions are more favorable
to getting stock to the railroad,
and a lot of the arrivals today
are merely hogs released from
being tied up on account of cold
weather and bad roads. Ship
pers as a rule are inclined to wait
for the present conditions to i'm
prove, rather than to rush in
heavy supplies account thereof.
Sheep and lambs are working
lower this week, prices off 10 to
Is cents today, although the top
lambs brought same price as
same lambs brought yesterday,
namely, a shipment of the Rons
see lambs at $500, which is 40
cents less than a week ago for
these lambs. Fair to good lambs
sell around So. 90, some at $7.75. Z
yearlings So. so to $3.50, wethers
95. % to $5.S5, ewes 81. so to S. so.

An exchange says there were
nine pillow cushions piled around
a certain young man, who was
sparkling certain coy maid in a
little old-fashioned parlor the
other night. While the favored
suitor was thus lolling at his ease
the girls papa sat on hard bot
toned, straight backed chair in
the kitchen, neglected and alone.
Well, what of it. He's had his
day, hasn't he? And probably
there wasn't any fight left in him
anyhow, or he'd been down to
the corner grocery arguin"
politics and sitting on nice
round molasses barrel top.
What's the use of ,diScouraging
love in youth? Love makes the
world go round, makes little
grocery bills, and little millinery
bills-and makes homes full of
babies that need new shoes, and
hundred other Things there is
not time to mention. All this
means business and love means
business, or it should. When
you see love cropping out, coax
it, coddle it, bolster it up AMONG
the cushions and speak kindly to
it; it's the real thing.

Many of us are familiar with
the old time story of John and
Ben untying the parcels John
got impatient and cut the whip
cord. Ben took time, unloosed
the string on his parcel, three
cents worth of whip cord, which
stood the test in a bow and arrow
competition later. Ben won the
prize and John learned the les
son, Waste not, want not" But
after years along came the prac-
tical business man and said to
his clerks, Time is worth more
than cords; cut them to pieces.
Don't waste ten cents worth of
time on three cents worth of cord
True. Ophilosopher, live forever.
But an observer of the old school
remarked: Are not the lessons
of carefulness and thrift learned
by the boys in saving two or
three cents worth of string of
more value in the building of
character than thousands of dol
lars? The question is now open
for discussion--W Western school

In our community is a quiet

In our community is a quiet
man whose chief aim in life ap-
pears to be to mind his own busi-
ness. He is a member of a
church and goes regularly
or shine, hot or cold. He sits
pretty we'll to the back and al
ways when the collection boxi S
passed he drops in his mite. He
contributes what he thinks he
should to the preachers salary,
and helps out on every other
worthy proposition He never
gets up in public meeting to
shout how much he will give and
he never writes a long winded
letter to the local paper on any
movement. He goes and comes
quietly; he has a pleasant word
for everybody; he pays his debts
and provides well for his family.
When a neighbor is sick he drops
around at the back door and asks
if he can do anything. He knows
of empty coal bins in the winter
and sends around a jag of fuel.
He is never tangled up in law
suits or disagreeable neighbor-
hood rows. He hasn't accumu-
lated a great fortune in gold nor
is his name written on a single
place on the table of fame The
Lord didn't intend him to be a
great general here and wear a
brilliant uniform and a sword
and he knows it. He has done
his best quietly, honestly and
without any grand stand plays.
When he goes it will be quietly
and a modest monument will
mark the place of his voiceless
dust. But over Yonder he will
get his uniform and sword and
his crown will shine through ali
the days of eternity. But he
earned them. Walker.

QUEEN AGAIN
MEETS DEFEAT
It Is Doubtful If Another
Move Will Be
Made

WASHINGTON. d. c., May 10
Liliuokalani, former queen of the
Hawaiian Islands. has again met de
feat in her efforts to have restored
to her something of her shattered
fortunes. The Court of Claims of
the United States has Just rendered
an opinion MAY 49, in the case of
the former queen against the unit
ed States In which the demurrer OF
the government to her petition Is
sustained.
In that petition Lilluokalanl ask
ed the Court of Claims to render
Judgment in her favor for $3.50. 900
or in lieu thereof the rentals and
profits derived from the so called
crown lands to the government of
the United States. The opinion OF
the court gives historical review
Of the crown lands of Hawaii and
of the authority exercised over them
by the various monarchs of the Is
lands. II says in effect that. even
admitting to be facts the statements
made in the queens petition. she has
no claim against the government of
the United States under the law.
Provision Of the Constitution.
The constitution of the republic
OF Hawaii, as respects the crown
lands, provided that that portion
of the public domain heretofore
known as crown lands, is hereby de-
clared to have been heretofore. and
now to be, the property of the Ha-
waiian government, and to be now
free and clear from any trust of or
concerning the same, and from all
claim of any nature whatsoever upon
the rents, issues and profits there

II Is also held that the crown
lands were. he resourceful method Of

the dignity of the Office to which
they were inseparably attached.
When the monarchical ofice ceased
to exist. these lands became as Other
lands of the sovereignty and passed
to the United States as part and par
eel of the public domain.
As Is usual in such cases. the
claimant Is given leave to amend ner
petition within ninety days. 1t Il
said TO be doubtful, however. wheth

competent to Judge that this deci-
sion of the court puts an end to the
queens efforts In that direction.
