CATHOLICS DEDICATE

The Catholics of Chanute and vi
cinity dedicated their fine new
church last Monday. The services
were conducted by Bishop J. ].
Hennessey of the Wichita diocese.
A large number attended the serv-
ices. The dedication means that
the church is out of debt as the
Catholics do not dedicate a build
ing till it is paid for. Their build
ing is a very large and substantial
one and seems to be completed ex-
cept the towers. These can be put
on at any time the congregation is
ready.

THE FARMERS WANT TO KNOW

Smarting under the accusation of
being the benehciaries of high meat
prices, the cattle raisers of Kansas.
through their state live stock asso-
citation, are starting an investigation
to determine who gets the big pro-
fits in handling meats between the
producers and consumers. The
cattle raisers declare that they do
not realize such prices as would
justify the almost prohibitlve retail
rates in the cities. In fact, if we
are to believe the secretary of the
Kansas Live Stock Association, the
farmers would starve to death if il
were not for the increasing value of
their land. What this increase is
based on is not explained.
For the information of members
of the Kansas Live Stock Associa-
tion, we may call their attention to
the "investigation" that was started
in Kansas Ci.y about a year ago
and which failed through neglect of
those entrusted with Its conduct.
The inquiry was instituted to find
out why the farmers received only
10 or ~ cents dozen for their eggs
and the consumers had to pay twice
as much. Somewhere along the
lins the brokers and commission
men absorbed profit that was ex-
tortionate. But the investigator
lost interest and refused to { their
work. Once in while echt 5 OF
this dying suit are heard but no one
expects anything to come of 1t.
If the investigation now proposed
by the Kansas Live Stock Associa-
ton is taken up in earnest aud car
ried forward with sincerity and
effectiveness, thousands of city
dwellers will rise up and give thanks.
1t is true that for nearly all pro-
ducts of the farm the farmers gel
prices that are low out of all pro.
portion to the cost of these pro-
ducts to the ultimate consumer.
Perhaps this investigation may
throw new light on the cost ot
living problem. There is a com
mon impression that the cost ol
distribution is the real trouble II
the food situation. No one be-
grudges the middleman an homes
profit, but when that profit exceeds
the gross returns to the producers
it is down right brigandage. lie
the investigation proceed, and may
it have better success than Kansas

memory.-Kansas City Journal.

Many a pure life is blighted by the
scandle monger who from force of
habit assails the good and bad alike.
These sort of human beings are a
menace to any town or community.
They should be given hours in

to hope for a reformation In the life
of such a character.

DEDICATION DAY

Last Sunday was dedication day
for the new Baptist church. This
progressive congregation has just
completed fine stone edlfce at a
cost of something like SIS, 1000. 1t
is ample for the accommodation OF
the congregation, both for church
and Sunday school purposes, and
surely is a credit to the town.

or not at all, as the opposition to it
is growing every day.
A "poll" of the Senate by some of
reciprocity's champions is said to re-
veal majority of five IN Its favor.
Possibly this figuring may turn out
to be correct. Then again it may
be of the sa me order as the post card
campaign of New York newspaper
in 1904, which, in October of that
year, showed large majority for
Parker over Roosevelt. But even
the most sanguine friends of the
measure say that at least two months
debate will be had before the final
vote is reached. This would mean
that the latter part of July will be
here before reciprocity learns its
fate. Its friends seem to concede
that the contest will be hard. The
indications are that the committee
will not report it favorably to the
Senate, but will merely hand it to
that body without any expression OF
opinion as to whether it ought or
ought not to pass. AS majority
of the members of the committee
are said to be against it, the outlook
for its enactment is far from being
bright. In this situation there is a
disposition among many senators to
avoid the su!try Washington weather
and take the chance of postponing
all serious discussion of the measure
until the fall.
A few Republican friends of the
bill say that Its defeat would in
jure the Republican party in 1912

VIII ich it has to Republican origin
lies in its framing by the president

this association is not sufficient to
make it a Republican policy. II

national platform of 1908. THAI

subjects, but this did not figure
among them. Nobody though
about the Canadian idea at tha
time. Nobody thought about it II

most of its friends are Democrat

THE FARM AND THE CITY

The great material problem ofthe
United States is not in the preserva-
ton of the forests. coal and iron,
not In the development of water
ways, important as these all are; but
the incomparably greater problem is
to bring about the adoption of sys-
TENS of farming that will restore, in
crease and permanently maintain
the productive power of American
soil.
Today we are the best fed. the
best clothed and the most prosperous
nation on the earth, tomorrow
we face the problem the Aryan
race has never solved-the main
tenance of our own civilization.
For three centuries America has
lived upon the spoils of conquest
and inherit wealth, wasting her sub
stance or scattering it abroad.
Thus far we have been repeating the
history of nations that have risen to
positions of world power and fallen
again to poverty, ignorance and
decay. The land which flowed with
milk and honey is now almost
barren waste.
Only prosperous nation can af-
ford the trained intelligence of edu-
cation of its people. Poverty is at
once helpless and soon ignorant and
indolent. Roman agriculture de-
, clined until bushel of seed brought
only four bushels in the harvest
} until the high civilization passed into
the dark ages. The dark ages still
exist In Russia and India, where as
an average year by year more people
are hungry than live in the United
States, where the average wage is so
cents a month, where famine wages
always and the price of wheat some
times rises to six months wages of a
working man to buy one bushel.
And just so surely as the intelli--
Y gent and influential men and women
4 of America continue to ignore the
a material foundation upon which ma
e tional prosperity depends, just SO
t surely will future dark ages blot out
American civilization.
The only hope of the future lies
in applying science and education
to the control of industry and
population. Much of the aban-
doned lands of America are far past
the point of possible self-redemption
and the fault lies not with the
e farmers and land owners, but with
the statesmen who, as James ]. Hill
a says, have unduly assisted manufac-
E ture, commerce and other activities
! that center in cities at the expense
of the farm. There was no need
whatever that the cultivated lands of
the eastern states should have been
depleted. DIR. Cyril G. Hopkins.

FINE CHANCE FOR INVENTORS

There are two booths in that store

about as big as match boxes and are
open at the top 80 when there Is
lull in street noises the conversation In
each can be heard in the other. One
day when listening to a long and in
teresting communication from the

in the adjoining box ask for the num-

Presently he said: Cant you get
them, Central?" Of course Central
couldn't get us, for learned afterward
that not even the maid was home, so
he rang off and left the booth.

HOW TO MAKE PULLED BREAD
Recipe by High Authority Makes op-
Grafton Easy and Sue
cessfuI.

The following recipe for pulled bread
is given by a high authority: Have
ready loaf of dough such as would be
used for ordinary bread. Divide the
loaf into eight equal parts. Roll these
pieces into strands the length OF the
bread pan. Braid these strands as If
they were strips of tape. Press out
this braided mass until 1t is about the
size Of the pan. Let 1t rise In the pan
and then bake 1t like an ordinary loaf.
After 1t comes from the oven let 1t
stand undisturbed for about ten or fif-
teen minutes, then tear it apart into
long, thin pieces. Spread these over
the bottom of large dripping pan or
upon a tin sheet. Bake again, this
time in very hot oven, until crisp and
brown. 1t will take about quarter OF
an hour. Serve hot This bread, so
popular with soup or cheese course,
may also be served at simple lunch
cons with coffee or chocolate. To be
Just right at meal time the work of
preparing it must be carefully timed.
The bread should be ready to slip into
the oven about one and three-quarters
hours before time for serving. The
bread, however, may be prepared, so
far as it's first baking is concerned, at
any time and then reheated when de-
sired, but it is not quite so nice as
when newly prepared.
