His Cry for Help
By CLAUDINE SISSON

Gordon Ascot had come up to DUCK
bay from the city for the shooting
The shooting consisted of whatever
could be shot Sometimes it was g
wild goose or duck-sometime a rab
bit who was reckless enough to ez
pose himself in the open.
Mr.. Ascot was twenty-five years old
and something of a philosopher He
didn't expect much in this world, and
he expected nothing whatever of Duck
bay He had been told about it, and
all he counted on was wading around
through the marshes and getting some
scenery that could not be found in
town He had never been in love, and
he expected nothing of the kind from
this trip. There must be women
around Duck bay, but of course they
would be widows and wives. If there
happened to be girls they would be
cross-eyed and freckled faced and en-
gagged to farmers hired men.
The matter of romance didn't trou-
bic Mr.. Ascot in the least If he got
a duck he would have it roasted in the
inn; If he didn't he would eat the
landlords veal outlets. He had been
IN this state of mind for three days,
and hadn't even seen a duck, when he
thought to go further affeld The inn
keeper recommended a spot two miles
away where wild fowl sometimes dis
ported themselves, and the hunter set
out for it.
Duck bay was mile and a half
from the railroad, and the hunter was
therefore surprised to stumble upon an
iron track in the contrary direction
Yes, there were the road-bed and the
lies and rails, and he spent a long five
minutes wondering where the line
went to, and why he had not heard
rains in that direction The puzzle
lad not yet been solved when he took
% the tracks and, after walk of 200
eet came to a switch and a track
ead1ng into the bushes.
Mr.. Ascot was no railroad man. He
lad never cared a copper about road |
'eds and ties and rails He had al |
ways Travelled in a Pullman, tipped the |
'orter and let it go at that Now, ali !
Il a sudden, this railroad bothered !

it and used it. This is common
practice everywhere, as is we'll
known, and results in seeding down
the farm land OF the state to weeds
more thoroughly every year.
Samples of seed such as are here
discussed have been examined in the
seed laboratory of the Kansas Agri-
cultural College and have been found
to contain large quantities of weed
seeds. In alfalfa the most common
are fOxtaiI, crabgrass, pigweed, lambs
quarter, Russian thistle, buckhorn and
dodder; in English blue grass, cheat:
aRd IN bTOmegrass, quackgrass and
cheat Quackgrass is bad weed
which causes immense losses to the
farmers of the Dakotas, Minnesota.
Nebraska and Iowa every year and is
gradually spreading over Kansas.
II the seeds mentioned, any or all
OF them, are present in a sample to
the extent of 10 per cent it means
that for every nine bushels of alfaI-
ia or clover or bromegrass sown there
Is also sOwn one busheI of weedseed.
The weeds which come from these
seeds require just as much room as
the reap crop, often more, and rob
the soil of moisture and plant food.
1t may make the matter clearer if
some figures are given as to the ac-
tual number of weedseeds sown on
square foot when impure seed is
used. Five per cent of foxtaiI in an
alfalfa sample means $4,000 foxtaiI
seeds to the pound of the mixed seed.
If such seed is SOwn at the ratio os
10 pounds to the acre, there win be !

of cotton marketed here yesterday.

A CERTAIN CURE
FOR CATARRH

The mucous membranes of the
nose and throat are exposed to the
irritating influence of dust, impure
air, etc, and for this reason are
the places Catarrh usually first
manifests itself. But these are
simply exciting causes, the naam-
nation and discharge being really
produced by an impure and uitiated
condition of the blood. Ii is weH
enough to use some local treatment
to cleanse these membranes, but
any one can readily see that if
the inaammGtory matter is left in
the blood, such treatment cannot
possibly have any permanent effect.
S. S. S. cures Catarrh by purifying
the blood of all impure catarrhal
matter and irritating germs and at
the same time builds up the system
by its fine tonic effects. When
S. S. S. has purified the blood, the
mucous surfaces are all nourished
and made healthy. There can be no
inflammation of the membranes
then, because the blood is pure, and
every tissue receives nourishment in
stead of irritating matter. Our book
on Catarrh will give proper advice as
to what is best to use as local aid
while S. S. S. is purifying the blood.
This book is free, also any special
advice you may feel you need.
S. S. S. is sold at drug stores.
