CONQUERED Lively Kitty,

When Jones brothers. buck jumpers,
were showing at Whangarei, New zen
land. recently, the ringmaster called
for volunteers to ride a weary looking
animal named Lively Kitty. Much to
the advertisement Of the spectators, a
clergyman entered the ring-the Rev.
Jasper Calder of Whangarei. After two
unsuccessful attempts at mounting
due to the restlessness of the horse
Mr.. Calder got safely seated. In an in

nasty twists, but the reverend gentle
man showed himself to he an excellent
horseman by sitting calmly in the sad
die until his mount had had enough.

A plan for turning Munich into a
harbor city has been drawn up by
officials of the Bavarian government
at the suggestion of Prince Ludwig of
Bavaria. 1t is proposed to cut through
Northern Bavaria a great ship canal
$50 miles in length, fed by rivers Isar,
Ampor and Lech and connecting with
the Main and the Rhine, to permit the
navigation of vessels displacing up to
1000 tous as far as the Bavarian capt.
tai. The ships are to enter the canal
at Lud wigshafen on the Rhine. Tho
idea of Prince Ludwig is by this means
to provide more economical transport,
more especially for coal and iron
which Bavaria almost entirely lacks,
and which are now carried by the
railroads at almost prohihitive cost.

PRESERVED BY THE BIBLE.
English Words and Phrases the King

English Words and Phrases the King
James Version Has Perpetvated.
The celebration of the third cente
nary of the King james version OF the
Bible makes particularly Interesting
at this time point brought out by
Professor Albert s. Cock Of Yale uni
versity in his book "rhe Authorized
Version and Its Influence" He calls
attention to number OF COMMONLY
used words and phrases which are not
generally attributed to Biblical origin.
They are mentioned as evidence OF the
Bibles important service in preserving
through the centuries words which
might otherwise have persisted.
Some Of the examples which he
quotes are highways and hedges,
"clear as crystal" hip and thigh
"arose as one man." lick the dust"
"a thorn in the flesh" "a broken reed"
root of all evil sweat Of his brow"
"a law unto themselves" the fat OF
the land "a soft answer" weighed
in the balance and found wanting"
and heap Goals of fire"
Professor Cook also points out that
in spite of the influence of the Bible
upon literature the number of words
which appear in 1t falls below the
number Of words used by Milton and
Shakespeare. In the authorized YER
sion, according to Professor Cook, use
is made of only about 6,000 words,
whereas Milton found it necessary to
draw upon about 1900 and Shake
speare something like q 1000 - New

Stones Sawed With Diamonds,


There is in use in France a circular
diamond saw for cutting stone. The
diamonds that form the cutting teeth
of the saw are common crystals. worth
about $3.50 carat, and they are fixed
in a steel disk over six feet in diam
eter, which is mounteN or spindle
and revolved by electric power in the
manner in which an ordinary circular
saw is operated. For saving hard
stones there are 200 diamonds in the
cutting edge and the speed is 300 revo-
buttons a minute The saw enters the
stone about one foot in that time. For
soft stones the teeth are of Steel with
diamonds at intervals of every five
teeth, and at speed Of twelve turns

COULDN'T HARNESS OLD SOL.

New York, Oct. 10.-An ambitious
plan to harness the sun and turn the
wheels of the worlds industries by
solar power came to naught To-Day
when E. Burlingame and George H.
Cove. promoters of the Sun Electric
Generator Company, were hailed INTO
court to answer to the charge OF using
the mails to defraud. Postoffice in
spectors say that Burlingame and
Cove sold more than $1,00O,OO0 OF the
stock during the eighteen months IN
which it was exploited.
Burlingame has engineered many
stock-selling schemes, including the
Radio Telephone Company, the Uni
versal Wireless Corporation and .varl-
ous other radio" and wireless" con
Germs, in which he is alleged to nave
got rid of $5,OO0,000 of stock. He be-
gan his career in New York about ten

and the Gold Dredging Company lie
was modest in those days and propos-
ed only to dig a tunnel through the
Rockies and discover several goiu
mines while doing it. Next came the
radio" companies. About two years
ago he took up Cove's scheme. Cove
Is alleged to be the inventor OF the
"sun generator" which looked much
like an incubator. One of the ma
chimes was set up on the roof OF the
Maiden lane building where the com
many had its offices, and proved very
convincing to prospective inventors
until a pesky newspaper reporter
came along and discovered that the
generator" was connected by care
fully concealed wires with the street
circuit of an electric plant. Whatever
electricity came out of the genera
tor" came, not from tff heat OF the
sun. but from the conduits OF the Ed
son company.

A huge TAX ON
COTTON TRADE
South Pays Millions OF Tribute To
European Bankers To Finance
Export Cotton

New York, Oct. 1.-THE South in
five years has received nearly $4,000
100000 for it's cotton; more than ST.
900, OOO, 900 of this huge sum has been
paid to the South by foreign buyers.
Cotton is the bulwark of our foreign
export trade.
With the great prosperity that has
come to the South through this enor-
nous production of new wealth each
wear has also come the realization of
the fact that this, the greatest OF all
American exports, is financed almost
entirely by the bankers of Europe. A
half billion dollars of American cotton
is carried from our shores under lot
eign flags and with foreign bankers
bills. How many millions of dollars
the South pays to Europe every year
for financing the export of its crop
can only roughly be estimated.
Henry S. Reed, the editor of the
"Cotton Journal" of Atlanta, Ga, says
that if the South had adequate bank
ing facilities there would be saved
every year from $20O,O00,OOO to $780,
100000.
"This would aid materially" he
says, Gin putting all the industries oil
the South-farming, commercial, man
ufacturing and banking-on a much
more satisfactory basis; hence, the
South's business man is interested, or
will be, as soon as he can be made 10
look at this great question in busi-
ness-like manner.
"Since the South produces this
enormous new wealth each year, is II
not right that the South should first
supply it's own needs from its own
money before loaning it to the ousl-
ness people in other section OF our
country? | think so. Today 1t Is re-
turned to America through Wall
Street, and Wall Street in turn loans
1t out TO the grain country, the cattle
rangers, the mining sections, and to
the speculative world, and it is posi-
BILE cotton money is used to distress
the cotton producer and lower the
price of the article which brought the
money into existence"
The reason the American cotton ex
port trade is financed abroad forcing
us to pay millions of tribute yearly t.
foreign bankers, is that under on
banking system we have no means o
competing with Europe in financing
our foreign trade. Nearly all the col
ton sold abroad ia financed by mean
of credits taken by the foreign buyer
through their bankers.
Business men, cotton planters an
bankers in the South have become a.
lively interested in non-partisan wa
to urge upon Congress the necessit
of so reforming our banking systel
that we can finance our foreign trad
at home instead of paying London
do 1t.

WHEN AND HOW TO sow ALFALFA
Fall Sowing in Eastern Half of State
and Spring Sowing in West.
ern Half is Best.

Do you know when and how to SOW
alfalfa? If you live in the eastern half
of Kansas you should SOW it in the
fall and in the western half you will
have better success with spring SOW
ing.
In the eastern half of the state, II
the ground that you wish to SOW was
in fall wheat the season before and
was well plowed it will not be neces-
sary to re-plow 1t should be disked
to the depth Of three inches between
the time the wheat was harvested and
the time the alfalfa is to be sown.
If you do not grow wheat, oats or
barley would be a good crop to grow
.in the spring and then SOW the alfalfa
in the fall Often this stubble must be
plowed, for as a rule the ground was
prepared with a disk when the spring
crop was sown.
Care must be taken not to pillow the
ground more than three inches so it
may settle and form firm seed bed
before the time to seed the alfalfa.
Often it will be necessary, if there has
been light rainfall to pack it with a
harrow set straight on sub-surface
packer, This firm seed bed is essen
tial in average season to terminate
the seed.
The seeding should be done between
August 10 and September 10. You
should be governed by the season but
If the ground is clean and is in proper
condition the seed should be sown as
soon after rain as the condition OF
the soil will permit.
The best method of sowing al
falfa is to use the ordinary wheat
drill. If the field is square the best
plan is to drill One-half the seed one
way and the other half cross-ways.
The chief advantage is that it insures
more even stand 1t is not neces-
sary to harrow the ground after the
seed has been drilled unless it seems
to be very loose and needs to be
packed.
In the western half of the state al.
falfa should be sown in the spring.
II the ground, that alfalfa is to be
sown on, was plowed it should be in
excellent shape for a seed bed. U
the ground has not been fall plowed
1t should be plowed very shallow,
about 21s or 3 inches or disked once
or twice
The time to sow must be governed
by climatic conditions. 1t wosld be
better to take chances with the frost
than to SOW too late. Midway be-
tween the time Of sowing oats and
planting corn is the best time.
