accentuate health more than ho-
illness, which ought to be as twin
sisters. but humanity itself (and
not Jehovoh) has caused health
and holiness to be so rarely
found in the same individual
that many are aiming to secure
health by all sorts of psychic
stunts, which, apparently, must
be supported by appealing to the
bible. No one doubts but that
the stunts may assist some. Let
us welcome any helps toward
health. Let us also be careful
that we are not tearing down
the faith of the commonality by
placing the words of the brilliant
yet faulty Paul above the words
of the incompatible Christ, for
by so doing have come to pass
the divisions which we call de-
nominations, and these have been

fragments, when Jesus Christ

and Irrigation Exposition company In
Chicago. Also we have secured the
space We want for the Omaha land
show.
Based entirely on practical figures,
we have reached the conclusion that
the best boosting state can receive
comes at these land eXpositions. They
give the people who are seeking new
homes an opportunity to see, almost
ut first hand, what the state raises
with profit, and they furnish also a
chance to talk directly with men and
women from that state.
Because we have seen the good to
be gained from the land shows we
have arranged that our space this
year be divided into lecture halls. and
these will be thrown open free of all
charge to every town, city and com.
munity along our lines In Kansas.
Tell People What Is Being Done.
I'VE want lecturers to 60 into these
halls armed with facts, figures and
pictures, both stereopticon views and
moving picture films, and tell to the
thousands Of persons who will crowd
them what they may expect from
their part Of Kansas.
Then, II the communities wish to
secure space, we will transport the ex-
hibits free of cost to Chicago, in order
that there may be as little expense as
possible.

On Friday morning OF las

rain in this part of the country
and this section received dam
age running up into the hun
dreds of thousands of dollars
The rainfall was in the neigh
borhood of six inches, and every
thing was afloat. Spring river
which was out of banks the Sun
day before, and had gotten good
and gone back where it belonged,
got on another rampage and was
even higher, according to those
who watch these things, than il
was in 1906, when much damage
was done.
Spring branch, running throu

and one bridge, the one on Main

was washed out. The planning
mill basement was flooded, and
the water lacked only about
eight inches of running onto the
first floor. People living close
to the branch were driven out.
Willow creek was big river
in few hours after the deluge
and the bridge out north of town
was put out of commission by
the approached being washed
out.
Brush creek was of course big,
and on account of the ground on
either side of the bridge being
low, the main bridge could not
be reached.
Little bridges and culverts all
over the country are out, and the
wagon roads are badly washed.
Tar creek was higher than
ever known, and fences and small
buildings along the creek got all
the water that was coming to
them.

and everything else that likes
fresh grasshopper eggs.
This is the best suggestion
that we can make. Simply keep
your eyes open and see where the
grasshoppers lay their eggs, and
then pillow. Disking might be
effective, but nothing is as eff
fective as blowing. You need
not look in sandy places, nor in
any soft ground, but always in a
piece of unplowed land, prefer
ably hard. The grasshopper'S
auger works better for obvious
reasons in soil that will hold to-
gether and not cave in.
We are having complaints of
the ravages of grasshoppers
from a very large section of our
territory. If next year should
be a wet one, we will not hear
any complaints; but it is safe to
figure that the grasshopper will
be a burden every dry year

The Burden of
the GraSShOpper,

The main portion Of the corr
belt has not suffered seriously
from grasshoppers for several
years, and farmers have in a
measure forgotten how to handle
them. 1t might be we'll to re.
view our past experience with
the grasshopper.
The best method we know of
for getting rid of grasshoppers
during the current season is
what is known as the hopper
dozer. This is simply a pan two
or three feet wide and eight or
ten feet long, with some kero-
sene in it, and is drawn by a
horse or horses over the field in
tested. AS the team passes
along the grasshoppers hop back
into the pan, and that's the end
of them.
The grasshoppers, however,
have done the main part of their
damage for this year. The prob
lem is how to prevent their raw.
ages next year. The grasshop-
per selects as a breeding place a
piece of pretty solid ground.
The female bores a hole with
the auger on the center of her
abdomen. (Ihave always thought
that the boring apparatus of the
grasshopper must have given

this hole from TWENTY-FIVE to
thirty eggs, encasing them in a

swallowed without tasting it. If

work and the farmer has noted
