ADVISES Dynamite, Not Plows.

At the present rate OF progress 1T
won't be long until some of the meth
DDS of the new agriculture make nee
essary a change in many of the
phrases of the old time farm language.
Instead of the father telling the boys
to hitch up and get started with the
plowin, it'll be get your batteries and
wires and hustle out and blow up that
lower eighty" Nowadays, farmer of
sense no longer strains the life out
of his horses and smashes his plaw
trying to stir up hardpan, commonly
known as 'dobe. He either tells his
troubles to the state agricultural col
lege and a man is sent to teach him
to farm with dynamite or he takes a
resk, bores the holes or has them Dor
ed, sinks the charges, connects them
with wires, lamps down the earth and
then, with one little pull of a lever,
blows daylight into the stubborn soil
that has hitherto resisted the pillow.
Of course you have to plow that field,
but you do it the next spring. The
frost and the snow and rain get into
the cracks the dynamite made and
make it mellow so that when you at
tack it in the spring the share cuts it
up in a fine, workable slice.

City Engineer Bert Wells and City
Chemist DIR. Swartz, of Fairmount
college, have just returned from a
tour of Inspection to the gas fields
around Independence from which the
Wichita gas is supposed to come
They were sent to the fields as a
special committee by the city to learn
if the gas supply is running out or
what has caused the shortage which
has caused so much trouble lately
The report brought back by these
men is to the effect that the gas is
still to be had in profusion in the
fields, but that they are certain there
will be no improvement in cold wealth
er service here as long as no larger
pipes are supplied to feed the city.
Practically every one here has been
forced to quit depending on their gas
supply for either heating or cooking
and the schools of the city were shut
down because of the shortage. Fair
mount college opened after being out
of commission practically a whole
week. They have cut off their gas
and installed coal CRATES in their fur
naces.

Ask State to Build Test Mill.

At the closing meeting of the South
western Millers' association at Wich-
tia it was decided to ask the Kansas
state legislature for an appropriation
of $4,000 to build an experiment mill
somewhere in the state of Kansas. The
idea is to build a small capacity mill
which will be used exclusively for the
testing of the milling qualities of
grains from all sections of the coun-
try. Several of the millers spoke in
favor of ultimately developing a reg
ular milling course in the state agri-
cultural college.

viii Drill for Oil and Gas.

The Lincoln Oil, Gas and Develop
ment ompany has been organized and
incorporated and will begin to sink a
well near this town at an early date.
A drilling company of Topeka has
been engaged to do the work, and
the company's representative says
that he is ready to start the prospect
work as soon as the local concern is
ready, which will probably be some
time during the coming week. For
several years there has been an idea
that gas and oil could be found in this
locality, and since the discovery of
gas in Ellsworth county the idea of
gas locally has become more confirm
ed. A thorough test will be made.

Exploding Sewer Gas Fatal.

Mrs. Nettie F. Wright died at a>Aos-
pital in Coffeyville two hours after
having been burned by an explosion
of sewer gas in her home. Mrs. Liz
zie Shivel, who attempted to exiting
uish the flames, is severely burned.
The sewer had clogged and the bed
room and kitchen became filed with
gas. Mrs. Wright, going into the bath
room to sprinkle carbolic acid on the
floor, lighted a match. In the explo-
sion, Mrs. Wright's clothing caught
fire and she ran into the dining room
and fell to the floor. Neighbors
broke in a door and extinguished the
flames. The roof and entire rear of
the house was wrecked.

Frederick WeIIhouse Dead.

Frederick Wellhouse, known as the
apple king" died of diabetes in a
hospital at Leavenworth recently. The
members of his family were present
when he died He was 80 years old.
Mr.. Wellhouse was at one time the
largest apple grower in the world. He
had 1000 acres in orchards in Leav-
enworth, Miami and Usage counties in
Kansas. One orchard in Leavenworth
county alone contained $40 acres. In
1890 the yield from the Wellhouse
orchards was $4,000 bushels of apples,
aside from "culls,'' and it required 200
cars to ship them east. Much of his
orchard land was sold before his
death, and he had only about 400
acres left in trees.

NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURE:

Il have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every in
stance, I always recommended the
Cuticura Remedies as they always
gave entire satisfaction. One case in
particular was that OF Q lady friend
of mine who, when a child, was Rf-
ficted with eczema which covered her
face and hands entirely, breaking out
at intervals with severer torture. She
could not go to school as the disfigure-
ment looked terrible. I told her to get
at once set Of Cuticura Remedies.
After the use Of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one Of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall Of the year. They used to
be SO painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
have also seen them cure children
Of ringworm. The chfldren's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck and after
treatment with the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and I used the Cuticura Oint-
ment. 1t made his arm as timber and
nice, whereas it was quite stiff before
1 began to apply the Ointment.
Last May / had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right
down in the side of my toe. 1 cut
the nail out of the cavity it made, and
of course applied the Cuticura Ointt
ment to the part affected. 1t soothed
1t and in less than ten nights it was
all healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago 1 had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. 1 have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is pleased
with the results and is recovering
nicely. I will gladly furnish the

CHAPTER I.
THE DESERT CHARIOT

ZEE VIRGINIA MOTHERHOOD
began her return journey into
the mountain west with exulta-
ton. From the moment she
morning in Nebraska the plain called
to her, sustained her illusions. It was
al quite as big, as tawny, as she re-
membered it. 1T arena for the epic
deeds in which her father had been a
leader bold and free.
Her memories Of Roaring Fork and
III people were childish and romantic.
She recalled vividly the stagecoach
which used to amble sedately. not to
say wheezily. from the railway to the
Fork and from the Fork back to the
railway in the days ten years before
when she had ridden away in it a
fearful, despairing, long limbed girl
and fully expected to find it waiting
for her at Sulphur City, with old Tom
Quentan still as its driver.
The first hint Of 1.-THE new west"
came to her by way Of the pretentious
Hotel Alma, which stood opposite the
station at Sulphur and to which she
was led by q colored porter Of most
slaborate and kindly manners.
This house, which furnishes an ex-
eellent dinner and an absorbing mix
ture Of types both American and Eu-
ropean, was vaguely disturbing to her.
It was plainly not the old time west
the west her father had dominated in
the days before the invasion" 1t
was indeed distinctly built for the
tourist trade and was filed with all
that might indicate the comfortable
nearness Of big game and good fish
ing.
Upon inquiry as to the stage she
was amazed to hear that an automo-
bile now made the journey to the Fork
in five hours and that it left imme-
diately after the midday meal.
At 2 O'Clock, as the car came to the
door, she entered 1t with sense of
having stepped from one invading |
chariot of progress to another, SO big |
and shining and up to date was Its
glittering body, agleam with brass and
glowing with brave red paint.
As they whirled madly down the val
ley the girl was astonished at the
in the hot, dry land.
Wire fences ran here and there, In
closing fields of alfalfa and wheat
where once only the sagebrush and
the greasewood grew. Painted farm
houses shone on the banks Of the
creeks end irrigating bitches flashed
