er was present at the double-header
here in which the Red Sox whipped
the Browns easily and frightened their

proud hat the fan accorded her boy
so much applause, but still she made
it plain that her visit to Boston was
for n purpose of trying to persuade
him to leave the diamond and go back

Speaker today scored his one hun

American league to do this this year.

STILL LOVES THE OLD HOME,

Roy Putnam, a former Great Bend
boy, now editing the Oakland Blade,
was here Christmas week on a visit
to friends and relatives. His love for
the old home is shown in the follow
ing concluding paragraph of a two
column write-up of the improvements
in our city.
The prosperous condition of Bar
ton county farmers and the excellent
prospects for next year have natural
y reflected themselves strongly on
Great Bend and helped materially in
its development to one of the very
finest and livliest towns of the state.
It is ahead of most towns of its size
in being equipped with an adequate
fire department. There is also a band
there that would make our band hus-
tie to win the prize. Next TO Oakland
and Shawnee county we think that
Great Bend and Barton county are the
finest localities in the state.

BOY SCOUTS MUST NOT CARRY
FIRE ARMS.
Market Correspondent

The leaders Of the Boy Scouts of
America are taking active measures
10 discourage boys from carrying ri
files and revolvers. Boy Scouts are not
supposed to carry arms. Whenever
reports come to National Headquar.
ters concerning any patrol or troop of
boys who are said to be carrying ri
files, an investigation is made at once,
and the scout master or commissioner
having supervision Of the boys is ask
ed to see to it that the bows no
longer carry the arms. The report
came to headquarters recently that a
troop Of Boy Scouts in Albany were
carrying Springfield rifles; that their
officers we're named, captains, lieuten.
ants, colonies and the like. Straight
way, James E. West, Chief Scout Elk.
ecutiVe, wrote to E. L. Miller, scout
commissioner for Albany, asking him
to investigate the affair. In this let.
ter he said:
i am very much surprised that
any scout master should take upon
himself the responsibility Of injuring
the scout movement by having his
boys use rifles when wearing the
scout uniform. AS you undoubtedly
know, this is directly contrary to all
Of our regulations and has caused a
great deal of misunderstanding. and
necessarily will hurt US very much.
If this scout master believes 1t is es-
Sential TO the interest of his group Of
boys that they have rifles, | would
suggest that he affiliate with the
Boys Brigade or some other military
organization. This organization can
not afford to have his troop OF scouts
as scouts appear with rifles. Possibly
some plan can be worked out whereof,
they can get such military drill as
they desire by having a different and
separate organization for this line Of
their activity without breaking up
their interest in the Scout Move
meut."

THE COMPENSATION ACT.

The Kansas workingmen's compen-
satiOn act, passed at the last session
Of the Legislature, took effect Janu-
airy 1. The new law applies only to
specified industries, classed as haz-
ardouS, employing fifteen men or
more. The amount to be paid to the
working man or his family in event
Of injury or death is specified in each
class Of cases, and is based on earn
ing power.
, The principle sought to be estab-
hshed by the law is that the burden,
Of expense and suffering caused by
industrial accidents shall not fall en-
tilely upon the victim and his family,
but shall be borne by the industry in
VolVed, finally to be shifted as are
other operating expenses, to the COM
nunity at large. In practice, however
according to those Informed on the
workings Of similar laws in other
states, the aggregate cost of indus
trial accidents will be no greater than
before and will entail no greater bur
den on the particular industries. The
actual effect of these laws, according
to those in position to know, is to
permit the injured workman or his
relatives to collect compensation for
his injuries without the expense, de-
lay and uncertainty attendant upon a
suit at law.
SeVreal large employers, including
members of the Kansas State Millers
association, have expressed their in
tenion TO come under the provisions
of the law. To come under this act,
it is necessary to file such intention
Withe the Secretary of State, and this
may be done at any time after Janu-
AIRY l, the date set for the law to take
effect.
Laws of other states similar To the
Kansas law have been upheld by the
courts, notably that of Wisconsin. The
constitutionality of the Kansas sta
tute will probably be contested when
occasion arises, but the general opin-
ion seems to be that it will be up
held. This law is one of the most i'm,
portant pieces of legislation ever en-
acted in behalf of the workingmen
in the history of the state, and its
fate is a matter of vital interest.

HORSE FEEDING EXPERIMENT,

The largest horse feeding expert.
ment ever conducted has Just been
completed by the Kansas Agricultural
College, cooperating with the United
States government. The results OF
this test in which 937 horses owned
by The government were used were
made public recently in an address
before the Kansas Horse Breeders
Association by DR.. C. W. McCampbel
OF the agricultural college, who super.
intended the gigantic experiment. AT.
ter DR.. McCampbell had spent two
hours telling of the experiment he
was called back again and again to
answer questions. The discussion last
ID another two hours.
To find, if possible, a grain or mix
lure Of grains, that would take the
place of oats as a horse feed and give
as good results but be more economi-
cal was one object of the test. An
other reason for the experiment was
10 find the value of various hays for
horse feeding purposes. Still another
was to determine the effect of grains
on the health Of the animals used. AL
these questions were answered.
Fifteen rations were fed to as many
lots of horses for 40 days. Every
meal for every one of those 9S7
horses was weighed and mixed in the
proper proportion Military d!sci'
pline helped to make the experiment
a success. Soldiers at Fort Riley
where the feeding was done were I'M
der orders to do the work with the
utmost care. Every horse was weigh
ed before and after the test. The aV-
erage weight of the horses was 1850
pounds. They were artillery horses
doing as much work, probably, as the
horses ON the farm.
1t was found that other foods may
be substituted entirely for oats i'm a
ration for work horses with as good
results and much cheaper. Oats, once
and for all, was proved a better feed
for work horses than corn, though
more expensive. Seventy-s,x horses
fed oats gained sixteen pounds-an
average gain-while the same mum.
Der of horses eating corn lost twenty
nine pounds apiece in the same time.
But corn, when fed with the proper
amount of alfalfa with the right quail
ity, gave as good results as oats and
was 80 per cent cheaper. Alfalfa hay
properly fed, was found to be more
valuable roughage than either timothy
or prairie hay and it cheapens the
cost Of the daily ration from 25 to
40 per cent. The ration, six parts of
corn, four OF oats four of bran and
timothy hay is probably the best that
can be fed a work horse though not
the cheapest. Horses fed an oat ra-
ton did not show amy more spirit
than those that ate corn, which dis
proves an old theory.

BUSINESS NOT WORRIED BY
DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.

From the standpoint of the busf

congress is not going to enact laws
which will hurt him. / am familiar
with how the democratic leaders feel
about this, and the leaders and the
majority Of the democrats In congress
are conservative. The tariff Is sure
to be clipped, but whatever is done
will be done conservatively, and with
out disturbing business conditions un-
necessarily. Many law makers have
come to realize that the business man

This statement by Congressman
Levy is endorsed by all the democrats

Is no longer any danger that prospec-
tive democratic success next year can
be held up as a bugaboO to business

Cleveland taught the workingmen Of
this country that their inter
