Taxpayers Held the Sack.

Galena, Kan.-That the taxpayers of
Cherokee county, who played the role
of innocent bystanders" following the
failure of the states special machinery
to get a single conviction in approx
mately eighty liquor law violation
cases, will be required to pay
between $4,000 and $4,000 for the ex-
pertinent, the substance of a statement
made by County Attorney stephens.
Mr.. Stephens said that after pairing
the bills to the limit" the cost of the
cases in the Galena district division of
the district court is approximately ST.
600. This was incurred in cases
brought by the attorney general and
later dismissed without the collection
of a dollar in fines from those joint.
lists who pleaded guilty.
Only one case was tried by a jury,
an acquittal resulting. Most of the
cases brought by the attorney general
were in the Columbus division of the
court The costs in one justice court,
that of F. U. Stiles at Columbus, in
cases which later were dismissed or in
which sentence was suspended follow
ing pleas of guilty, will be about $500,
to Mr.. Stephens.

The clerk told him that the time
was unusually short, but he would do
what he could, and the shirt was de-
livered ON time.
He came down Thursday morning
and said he wanted another shirt
laundered, but that this one must be
back by two o'clock in the afternoon.
The clerk said that would be too
short time. The Briton grew angry
and demanded to see the proprietor.
He got as far as the bell boy captain,
to whom he protested that he would
not stand for such treatment. The
bell boy suggested the purchase of a

Topeka, Kan.-Thirty-five Kansas
counties have been organized for wo-
man suffrage, and two more will be
organized next week Headquarters for
the Kansas Women's Suffrage Associa-
tion will be opened in Topeka January
|, and the campaign to win for the
women of Kansas equal enfranchise-
ment with the men will be on in full
blast.
Noted speakers will come to Kansas
to urge that the women of this state
should be given the right to vote
Among these will be Jane Addams OF
Hull House, Chicago. Raymond Rob-
ms, at the head of the nationwide
Men and Religion movement, has
promised the Kansas suffragists two
weeks of speeches. California, where
equal suffrage was recently obtained,
will send some speakers for the Kan
sas campaign
The last legislature submitted an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for woman suffrage, which will be
voted upon at the general election in
1912. The Kansas suffragists are 60
ing to make a hard fight to carry this
amendment. The work of organizing
the various counties in the state be-
gan early this fall, more than one
third being now organized. Mrs. w.
A. Johnston, president Of the Kansas
State Suffrage Association, said that
every county in Kansas will be organ
lied by spring

ing in Western Kansas who offered
to contribute $500 to our campaign
fund, if nine other persons would
give a like amount. If ten persons
give that amount it certainly will help
a very great deal. Two other persons
have already offered to contribute 5000
each, so now We need only seven

LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

The term, "dry farming" does not
Indicate all that might be implied. 1t
does not mean system of irrigation,
but one where all the rain fall and
precipitation is stored up and con-
served in the soil, to be drawn upon
by scientific and sane processes when
1t may be required to forward and in
crease the growth of grain.
In certain sections of the Canadian
West as well as in the American
West, there is a portion of the coun-
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing Of cereals, but the
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues, do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess in the matter of precipitation.
Agricultural science, however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years, and it is now as
certained that it is not altogether the
number of inches of rain that is es-
sential to the growing of crops, but
its conservation, and that is the
meaning of "Dry farming" "Dry
Farming" may we'll be applied to dis
tricts where there is heavy rain fall
and better results will follow. The
education of the public into these new
methods, not new exactly, but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
ton, is not alone the purpose of these
dry-farming Congresses. One idea is
to bring into life and into operation
the great areas of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid, without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process Of
irrigation.
The Congresses are attended by
thousands and they bring representa-
tives from all parts Of the world. The
Province of Alberta, and also of Sas-
katchewan, has taken q vital interest
In the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province of Alberta has made
provincial exhibits, districts have
shown their products, and last year,
several hundred dollars were taken in
prizes; this year the Province OF AL
berta took prizes ten to one in excess
of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out Of twenty special
cups, that province taking one, Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six, and
John Baxter Edmonton, carrying off
one sweepstakes When 1t came to
q matter of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City of Lethbridge,
which had put up a splendid fight for
it, secured the Congress by a unani-
nous vote. 1t is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg-
est yet held and will be the biggest
convention in the history Of Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-
ton to Lethbridge, one Of the speak
ers said he had just received tele-
gram from Magrath (near Lethbridge)
stating that of one thousand acres Of
wheat just thrashed Hethershaw and
Bradshaw had thrashed $4,000 BUSH
els.
Literature sent out recently by the
Canadian Government Agents, which
will be sent postage free on applica-
ton, tells of hundreds Of splendid
yields in all parts Of Western Canada.

JOY a bath there. "You see, grand
mamma has not had BATH" said the
innocent, "since she first came to this
country, and that was IL years ago"
Another little girl objected to taking
the prescribed bath. Just now; be-
cause, as she explained, her mother

Beware Cheap Bills.

An examination of paper currency
by Warren H. Hilditch of Yale showed
an average of one hundred and forty
two thousand bacteria on the bill.
Twenty-one bills were examined, and
while some were relatively clean, car
rying only a trifle of fourteen thou
sand living things, others swarmed to
the figure of five hundred and eighty
six thousand. And, strange to say, the
bacteria did not seem to swarm to
the $1,000 bills in preference to the
81 bills.
This shows that 1t is far healthier
to carry $1,000 bills about than 1t is
to tote 81 bills. Here is valuable
financial hint.
