MAN AND NATURE.

Nature strives for. perfection. Man
atlalns 1t. Nature creates and con-
serves animals and plants whose chief
end is their own propagation. Man
selects and improves these, and brings
forth animals and plants for his use
as well Nature never created the
Percheron horse, the Shorthorn COW
or the Jonathan apple. Man did that,
and his own well-being followed. Good
live stock is the vital principal of the
Iarm and the foundation of the ma
t1ons prosperity. With it comes good
seed and good implements, and these
combine TO produce goods crops. good
homes, good citizenship and good fam
Ines. Since man came upon the earth
has culture, his refinement, his wealth
ana his comfort have been measured
by the quality of his domestic animals,
II ne be millionaire he takes pride
In the blooded stock with which he
surrounds himself. If he be in an
other sphere in life he thrfves as his
stock improves; while if he be upon
lower levels he depends upon it to
pun him up the hill to the summit of
prosperity.-Kansas Farmer.

NEWSPAPER IN KANSAS.

Two Reno county newspapers were
sold at auction last week. The high
cost OF everything that goes into the
production of newspaper has put
some publishers up against the real
thing. Topics" in the Kansas CITY
journal recently wanted to know what
was wrong with the newspaper bust
ness in Kansas. He had been asked to
md buyers for two of the best known
weekly papers in eastern Kansas The
reason is not hard to find. Wages
paid to printers are so to so per cent
higher than ten years ago. Print pa
per that cost then $3.50 to $175 per
hundreds pounds now costs $2.75 to
$3.50 All qualities of paper, ruled
goods and envelopes. are 80 to SO per
cent h1gher than ten years ago. And
Cat least it is so in Olathe) advertising
rates are the same, subscription price
Is lower and job printing prices are
stu cut and slashed.-Olathe Mirror.

been $1,000 cash ahead today II | had
never heard OF II.
How? Earlier in the season | had
taken an option on the Mcclellan land

with an eastern company who sent n
representative here who looked the
ground over and said he would go back
with favorable report on their TAX

$f00 per acre, or $1,000, that they
would capitalize an addition company
at $4,000 and was to take out $4,000
cash and $4,000 In stock In the COM
pany. Our plans were well put on
foot TO do this. That occurred short
ly before the Woodcock matter came
up. Tht Woodcock business took so
much more time than | expected, and
became so engrossed in trying to
keep IL from stranding and never open
ing its doors that slept on my nppor-
trunity with the eastern parties and
let the period of my option so nearly
elapse before | realized 1t that could
only turn to local capital for invest
ment with me in the land. With these
men, my friends, told them | did not
want 500 an acre margin unless fu-
ture results justities an allowance to
me OF that character and they put
their money into the purchase of the
land with me at actual cost. SO. If |
am not loser $1,000 l must make it
out OF the sales OF the property during
the next three TO five years by untiring
effort and work. How the Woodcock
plant, has benefited me? In its pres
ent unfinanced condition it has been
more of hindrance than help to
the Depue City Lot company.
II so happened that one of the FIVE
men who decided to go into the Depue
City Lot company. was unable to get
his funds together and the other four
of us have carried the entire enter
prise. $4,000 of this stock has, there

we have had our money In. The only
other requirements you must have TO
get the stock is that you have a repu-

are not cranky In your dealings with

turing company. and J. c. Woodcock:
have not a word Of apology to offer
for either. They do not require II. J.
c. woodcock has kept faith with the
Commercial Club and the company in
every respect. Woodcock talks vision
arily about some things and has an
unhappy faculty of rubbing people the
wrong way. but he is honest and etfici-
ent as a foundryman and capable In
the selling Of the feed mills he manu-
factures. He told us before he came
he had no money but a good outfit and
he would expect us TO manage the bus
mess affairs and furnish the capital.
We promised to do so. We have done
neither one. We we're TO get up $4,000
cash for stock at the outset. We rails
ed and paid in $4,000 only, $500 short
on working capital on this account.
Our agreement with Woodcock calls
for the citizens taking from $4,000 to
$4,000 more Of stock as required to
give the company a working capital
to be taken after Woodcock got here
with his plant and showed us that he
had what he claimed He brought all
he claimed. We have not raised one
dollar of this additional amount for
stock. You cannot conduct business,
employ men and keep, q pay roll, buy

he is, an honest, man. Industrious and
full of the best Intentions, than we
would be If we had a sleek. smooth
speaking rascal instead, who would
rob us. 5a
He told us before he came he would
expect us TO furnish secretary and
treasurer to handle the financial and

has been fairly praying for this ever
since he came. We have not yet pro-
