Apple Crop One-Third.

Topeka, Kan.-Kansas will have
about one-third of full apple crop
this year, according to Walter We'll
house, secretary of the Kansas Horti'
cultural society.
A full apple crop in Kansas is esti'
mated at about from 100000 to 2O,'
100000 bushels. Though the crop
will be but one-third, the quality OF
the apples is exceptional.
ut is an i'll wind that doesn't blow
some good" seems to fit this year.
Though the quantity was shortened by
the drouth and some damage was done
by frost, the apples are free from
scab, blotch and bitter-rot. The hot
weather, according to Mr.. Wellhouse,
is to considerable extent responsible
for the fine apples. The Jonathans
and Ben Davis seem to have borne
exceptionally well this year.

Comfort eaas Reach Kansas.

Wichita, KAMA dispatch from
New York says that before the bat
tleship Kansas leaves New York again
each of the 1000 men in it's crew will
have added to his possessions COM
plete assortment of needles, thread
and darning yarns, buttons and other
articles.
These wardrobe necessities are con-
tanned in comfort bags made by the
members of the Kansas branch of the
Women's Christian Temperance Un'
ion. They were completed and sent
here for delivery year ago, but the
Kansas remained too short time in
any port for the comfort bags to catch
up. The women in Kansas began to
get anxious and the secretary of the
navy finally took hand in the mat
ter. Accordingly when the Kansas was
at Provincetown ten days ago the COM
mander was ordered to detach the
Kansas and send her to New York fU
a cargo of comfort bags.

CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

Vt think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had child
who had rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
no good. In few days the head was
a solid mass, running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, a box Of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar Of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head Of hair I think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept, 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti'
cura," Dept. IL L, Boston.

Reno County Man Thinks Whipping

Hutchinson, Kan.-Suit for 100000
damages has been filed in the district
court of Reno county by C. p. Wal
ter, against George Young, Albert
Hood, C. P. Smith and Joe Thompson,
all prominent farmers of Reno coun-
ty, and Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson,
wife of the latter.
They are charged with being MEM
bers of the whitecap party who en-
ticed Walter from his home Gu the
High ranch, south of Partridge, on the
night of May 21. They bound him
hand and foot, hauled him several
miles to the Thompson farm, stripped
him, and, while the men held him.
Mrs. Thompson lashed him with a
rawhide whip. He was then ordered
to leave the state within twelve hours
on pain of more severe treatment. The
defendants are wellto-do farmers The
whipping, it Is claimed, was because
of some remarks Walter is alleged TO
have made in regard to MIS-. Thonip'

Lawrence, Kan.-"When instruction

next fall $500 students will enroll
That is 110 more than last year. The
drouth will lot hurt the university
enrolment particle"
This was the announcement issued
by Registrar George o. Foster to an
expectant and anxious collection OF
butchers, grocers and rooming house
operators. Immediately the grocers
rushed to their stores to increase
their orders for cheese, the butchers
to buy a few extra cases of weirer'
wurst and the rooming house women
to put up extra bedsteads in attics
Strangers within the border of Law
renee, wonder at all this excitement,
but to residents it is very simple. The
town lives, moves and has its being
in the university, so the registrars s
famous annual guess as to the num-
ber of students who will enroll Is OF
far more Importance here than con-
gressional report on the cotton bill,
or whether the Blues win or not
And this annual guess is generally
correct. For twelve years George o..
Foster has been registrar, and for
twelve years his August prophecy has
PLAYED an important role in the busi'
ness of Lawrence. This "Foster
guess" is a hobby with him. He bases
it upon various conditions, and 1t Is
his boast that he rarely misses the
mark. Last year it was his estimate
that 2,400 young Kansans would be
present, and he was downcast when
but 1880 showed up.
Mr.. Foster always has reasons why
for everything. Here are his reasons
why the drouth will not produce the
expected lessening of students: Flrst'
because the university draws largely
from cities and towns where the dry
weather's effect is least felt. Second
because jobs for young men will be so
scarce that they will be sent to school
TO keep them out of mischief.
The university will have more for
eigners this year than in any former
winter. Already two have enrolled
from India, three from Porto Rico, two
from Japan, and several from Canada.
Among the states other than Kansas,
Missouri will lead in point of numbers
with about $50, most of whom come
from Kansas City. Oklahoma will RANK
second with something like 200, which
is about twice the number usually
sent by that state.
The only new feature to be added to
the work of the university this fall Is
the Dread school, model high school,
which will be operated by the school
of education of the university. This
institution was established with two
ends in view: First, to offer students
in education an opportunity to STUDY
practical high school problems at close
range, and second, to give new univer-
sity students a chance to make up en-
ace credits.

lands. And l believe 1t.
Throughout all this great country,
practically 500 by 800 miles square,
there are still a great many home

their land worth from $18 to $25 per

Immense Crops Assured.
Throughout the southern portion OF
Alberta, district that suffered more
or less last year from drouth, there
will be harvested this year one of the
best crops Of fall wheat, winter wheat,

been taken off these highly productive

Rich Yield In Manitoba.
In Manitoba 1t was the same. The
fields of grain that we're passed
through in this province promised to
give to the growers a bumper yield,
and as high as 35a bushels OF wheat
and 60 bushels Of oats was freely dis,

1t would appear as II the expecta-

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon,
four weeks ago, the writer started for
twenty-mile drive into the country,
from one of the hundred or more new
towns that have been we'll started dur
ing the past spring, In the Province Of
Saskatchewan, In Western Canada.
Mile after mile, and mile after mile,
was traversed through what was one
continuous wheat field, the only relief
to the scene being the roadways that
led back into other settlements,
where would have been repeated the
same great vista Of wheat.
What wealth! Here were hun
dreds and thousands, and millions Of
bushels Of what was declared to be a
quality of grain equal to any that has
ever been grown In the province. AS
we drove on and on thought of those
fellows down on the Board Of Trade
at Chicago, st. Louis, Minneapolis
and Duluth. While they were exploit
ing each others energies the farmer
of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Mani
toba was contemplating how much he
would realize out of his crop, now
past any danger of accident, over
what his anticipations were two
months ago. One man said to me:
"The profits of that field of wheat will
give me sufficient money to purchase
800 acres of land, for which the rail-
way company is asking $6,4O0. and
pay 1t in cash" Another, with field
of fax-it was only 320 acres-said

wonderfully well, and the current
