Keep A Scrap Book.

Every farmer should be inter-
ested. in keeping a scrap book.
II is not hard to do so. Have
the book indexed with places for
poultry. stock and general farm
subjects. When you find some
thing that You think valuable.
cut it out and paste it in its pro-
per place. There is no need Of
having magazines and newspapers
accumulated if you don't want them
to-, if you just cut out the arti-
cleS you want and file them in
your scrap book. When the farm
er is too busy with his work, his
wife or daughters can see that
the interesting things are pasted
Then, too, if the farmer or his
children write on agricultural sub
Jects or are correspondents for
papers, the scrap book will be a
convenient place to keep these ar
ticles.-Sterling Bulletin.

Little Damage to Fruit.

D. BOSse of Lakin township.
who is probably as extensive a
fruit grower as we have in the
county, thinks the damage from
fruit so far this season is light.
He has a large number of oil
burners in his orchard, in order
to guard against danger from
freezing, and says it has only
been necessary to light only a
part Of them on three different
nights so far. If those of our
people who pretend to raise fruit
would follow Mr.. Bosses efforts
to get a crop, We could make this
as good a fruit county as Reno.
Mr.. BOSse has been successful
along this line, and last season
shipped something like a dozen
cars of apples.

To Value Kansas Railroads.

Representatives from ten rail-
roads met with the state railroad
board and Carl C. Witt, its new
expert engineer, last week, to go
over the proposition of taking
the physical valuation of the
roads under the law of 1907.
The railroad men present at the
meeting were engineers and at
torneys. The meeting was friend
ly. The railroad men agreed to
cooperate with the board in Sc
curing the valuation of the rail-
road property.
The work of securing the val
uatiOn will begin as soon as the
necessary blanks are turned out
of the. state printing office. These
blanks are patterned after the
form used in Michigan, WiscOn-
sin, Minnesota and North Dakota
in the railroad valuation of these
states. Mr.. Witt, the new en-.
.gineer for the state board, is from
North Dakota, and went through
the mill up there in this same
work.
The railroad representatives will
meet with the board again in
about two weeks and agree on
the plan under which the. work
will proceed. The valuation will
be dated from June 30. 1911
which is to say the valuation of
the roads on that date. will be
taken for the basis of the first
valuation in Kansas.

Mrs. D. W. Humphrey

= The many friends of the Hum
phrey family were panied to
learn of the death of Mrs. D. W.
Humphrey, whose home is in
HOiSingtOn, which occurred at the
residence Of Miss LOwery Tues
day evening, after an extended
illness with Diabetes. Some weeks
ago Mrs. Humphrey was brought
TO this city for treatment. All
that loving hands could do for
her relief was cheerfully done,
but it was not to be, and the
tired spirit took wings for the
other world, while the worn body
was left for family and friends
to mourn over.
Mrs. Humphrey was born in
Knox county, Ill.,. March s. 1854
She grew to wOmanhOOd in that
locality, and in 1873 was united
In marriage to D. ". Humphrey,
who with three sons, Harry, Gle
ment and Roy, are left OF mourn
her death. In 1878 the family
came to this county locating on a
farm 6 miles north of the site of
HOislngtOn, where they continued
TO reside until about two years
ago, when they removed to the
city of HOisingtOh, there to enjoy
the evening Of life together, sur
rounded by their children, their
children's children and their host
of friends. But the peace and
quietude which they sought was
not long, for the Ruler of all
things saw fit TO call the wife and
mother from her home, to place
her in her heavenly home above.
where she is waiting for those
near and dear to her who have
been left. behind. Mrs. Humphrey
was a loving and charming per-
son. A good mother, dutiful wife
and a neighbOrly neighbOr.
The body was taken to HOis.
ingtOn; on Wednesday, where in.
'terment took place. Let her sou
rest in peace, let the good that
she has done in this world stand
as a monument to her in all time
to come.

To Grow A Campaign Fund.

The Socialists hope to carry
Oklahoma in 1912. and they pur-
pose doing it by growing cotton.
William Crawford owns tract
Of land near MuskOgee. He has
turned over five acres of. this to
the Socialists. They have plow-
ed and planted it to cotton. This
work is contributed free of all
cost by the local Socialists. They
will cultivate the crop, pick and
sell it, and the entire gross re-
ceiptS will be contributed to the
state campaign fund for the next
election, which will be in 1912.
This plan, which is being fol-
lowed all over the state. is like
ly to create a tremendous cam
paign fund. Five acres of cotton
ought to bring $3.50. The short
age Of funds always has been the
great handicap of the Socialist
party.

Wldgeh.

The many friends of the Wild
gen family Of HOisingtOn were
panied to receive the infOrma-
tlOn on Thursday morning, that
Miss Lizzie, the secopd daughter,
had, after a long and lingering
illness succumbed to the. inevita.
bic, and had been gathered to her
Fathers, death occurring at $50
that morning. Deceased was
about thirty years of age. For
several years she was a teacher
In the HOisingtOn schools. but
was compelled to give up the
work on account of her i'll health
All that medical skill, a change
OF climate, or any one could do
was done to prolong her young
and useful life, but to no avail.
She is survived by a mother, two
brothers, Harry and Jerome, four
sisters, Mrs. John Lewis. Mrs.
Tom Churchill, and the Misses.
Blanche and Florence, all living
In HOisingtOn. At this writing
we have not been informed as to
the hour for the funeral.
In the death of Miss Wildgen
the community in which she has
lived for so many years loses one
of its brightest stars, her mother
and brothers and sisters a devot-
ed sister, her friends a friend at
all times, and her church a con-
slant, loyal attendant, and a hard
worker. Her place is one of the
kind that it is next to impossible
to fill, and while the death has
thrown a shadow over the com.
mqnity, it is but once more a re-
mlnder that we are subject to-
call without notice, and it is a
call from which there is no es-
cape. When the Ruler says it
Is time for us to come home, we
must bow our heads in humble
sympathy to the bereayed fam
lily.

Library Board Entertains.

Inc IlfSJ OF q series OF enter
tamments arranged by the lady
members of the library board was
held last Friday evening, and
proved a success, many of the pu-
pills of the 6, Z and 8 grades, and
the high school in whose inter-
ests the entertainments are being
given, were present, as well as a
fair sprinkling of older persons
interested in the general good of
the community. All the numbers
on the program were well receiv-
ed, especially the one presented
by Rev. WestwoOd and his boy
scouts, who appeared for the first
time in public in their uniforms.
Mr.. WeStwOod gave a few re-
marks on what the scout move
ment is. The scout movement is
intended to teach a boy disci-
pline and independence. 1t is a
clean movement.
For instance should a boy
swear other scouts punish him
the punishment in this instance
being the pouring. of water down
the uplifted arm. The scouts
went through a drill and then
squatted for a campfire while the
instructor told a story about a
man who was lost in African
forests. describing how he be-
came lost and the boys were then
asked to tell how he could have
been found, how he could have
let others know where he was anC
what mistakes he made going in
to the woods, They found that
he made a mistake TO venture
away with only one shot in his
gun when he should have had at
least two to give the signal that
he was lost. lie should have
built two fires so that the smoke
ascending would have notified
anyone who saw it that the per-
son at the fire was lost. And so
the different plans were discussed
The boys then divided into two
factions and watched a cock fight
between two of their number.
This probably created as much
interest as anything, the audience
becoming as interested as the
boys themselves. The two con-
teStantS had broom sticks, each
end of which was padded and
with the stick placed beneath
their knees and held by pressure
Of the arms on the. same.
Judge Cole gave an interest
ing talk about the old Santa Fe
trail and told story of Capt.
Booth and a lieutenant who were
chased back to Fort Zarah by
Indians.
Mr.. Chas. TOwnsley's vocal
SOLOS and the whiStling solos by
Mrs. Morgan were enthusiastical-
| ly received. Walter Deal read
an interesting paper on Col. In

Inheritance Tax A Lien.

Unless the inheritance tax on
an estate is paid the title is not
good, according to the state tax
commission and that body is send
E ing out a warning to all title eN-
aminerS and abStractOrs to be
very. careful about reporting a
good title to property upon which
the tax has not been paid. Spvera
instances have come to the notice
of the commission where abstract
orS did not show a notation on
the abstract Of the title that the
inheritance tax against the prop
erty had not been paid.
1t is known that several sales
of property from heirs of large
estates were made before the tax
had been paid and that the heirs
never did pay. The new owner
will have to pay the tax which
should have been paid by the
heirs. The inheritance tax law
which was passed two years age
provides that the tax is a lier
against the property of an es
. tate and that the state may take
the property if necessary to secm
the payment. of the tax.
Under these conditions how
can Gov. Stubbs nullify the law
on small estates?
