In the old days eastern Kansas used
to send seed wheat to western cOun-
ties. County commissioners We're
called uron to handle the situation,
ana the western counties borrowed or
received free large amounts Of seed.
This year a crop shortage confronts
Kansas. Gray county Jared no worse
than others. in fact not so bad in
many respects. having much larger
rainfall. Nevertheless, many farmers
will he cramped in buying seed wheat

No Help for Gray County.
Harking back to the old hardpan
days. there is talk in some parts of
western Kansas of borrowing seed
wheat from eastern neighbors. bit
Gray county proposes to handle the
situation by itself.
The plan is to have everyone inter
ested to Join the Million Bushel
Wheat club, paving a small initiation
fee. \ member will do one of three
things: Contribute money, contribute
seed or borrow seed from the club, ac-
cording to his situation. Those who
are not farmers will contribute money
to buy seed wheat, receiving next
year one-hfJh of the crop. SO also
with those who give seed wheat. Those
who are short of both money ana
wheat will draw out from the pool
what seed they need and pay it back
next year out of their crop.

have taken up the plan enthusiastical-
|ly. During the summer and fall the
club will hold meetings in various
school houses in the country. These

The Motto or the Clock.

The old Temple clock in London

of which is ascribed to chance re-
mark
Some 200 years or so ago IA master

When his work WAS nearly done he
asked the benchers for an appropriate
motto TO carve upon the base They
promised to think of one Week after

was put off. One day he found them
at dinner in commons.
What motto shall | put on the clock,
your lordship?" he asked of learned
judge.
"Oh, go about your business" his
honor cried angrily.

San Antonio, Texas, August g.
Texas this year is facing one Of the

At first cottonseed we're used chief

as feed stuff; now it is manufactur-

out by mill men that cottonseed
flour in many instances takes the
place of wheat flour, and that in

Iahrador,s Short Summer.

How brief is the summer on the
highlands of Labrador! says Hesketh
Prichard in the Wide World Snow
does not melt till July, then with
rush midsummer comes Grasses and
leaves grow almost visibly, the Wild
cotton soon filings out Its little white
pennons, millions of berries ripen on
the ground. the loon cries, the ptarmi-
gan calls, and you may even see a
butterfly balancing in the warm wind.
But then also wakens the countless
army of hunchbacks. lean and gray
mosquitoes, piping blithely for blood.
SO summer reigns. Then suddenly
one day at the end of August, after the
sun has sunk behind the barren crags
through a balmy warmth OF evening
one may wake up to find everything
ira nsfgured and the first snow OF an
other season already falling.

FINDS 500 IN HAT
LEFT ON \ TRAIN.
Kansas Man Profits by an ENchang.
OF Hats Through Mistake.

San Antonio, Texas, August f.
John Devine, who resides at Wichi-
ia, Kansas, has hat and sixty dol
lars in his possession which belongs
to some other person. Both the hat
and the money came into Mr.. De
vines possession in an unusual
manner. On his way to San Antonio
he took a berth in a sleeper. The
next morning while in the washroom
some one exchanged hats with him.
When he returned from the wash
room he noticed the mistake ana
made dilligent inquiry in an effort
to ascertain who had made the mis-
take, but without avail. Later, after
Devine had been in San Antonio
some hours, he discovered three
twenty dollar bills folded under the
swaziland of the hat. This discov-
cry assures Mr. Deyine that his hat
was picked up by mistake by some
one who left the train en- route.
While the hat he got in exchange
for his is not as good as the one ia
ken, Deyine is perfectly satisfied
with the trade, and declares he is
perfectly willing to go into the hat
trading business if he can be assuT
ed that he will make as good a
trade every time as he made on his
way to San Antonio.
