USE DAWSON SPEECH
state Temperance Union Circulating
Chicago Address.

The Kansas State Temperance Union
has lust had printed the address de-
livered by Attorney General Dawson at
the Auditorium hotel in Chicago, April
.. The address is entitled, What Pro
hibition Has Done for Kansas" and
covers in detail the history and accom-
plishments of the prohibition law in
this state The address is printed in
circular form and will be used as a
campaign document by the union. The
eloquent attorney general concluded his
address as follows:
kansas stands as a living proof OF
the benefits of prohibition, and the
Kansas idea is swelling to a full tide
for the abolition of the liquor traffic
throughout the republic just as KAN
sas did in the trying days of border
ruffianism against the traffic in human
flesh Nor does she stand alone. Other
states are following the path which
Kansas has blazed-from Georgia to
Texas-Dixie land is coming into its
own-and even in the old, staid and
conservative states of the north, there
is an ever lessening area which can be
classified as reliably wet territory
The mills of the gods grind slow but
they grind exceeding fine, and the
time is not far distant when both by
state and national law it will be as un-
healthy for a saloonkeeper to ply his
trade anywhere in America as it is to-
day in Kansas"

North Side VS.. Silver Lake Sat
urday Afternoon.
New Horseshoe Team Chal-
lenges First Warders.
MOVE BOULDER TO CEMETERY
Large Granite Will Be Base of
Monument.
Will Take Great Stone From
Il. MI. James Farm.

The North Side Horseshoe club will
play the Silver Lake team on the North
side Saturday afternoon. This will be
the first game to be played with Sill
yer Lake by the North side team who
have so far never known defeat. II
weather permits the game will be play
ed out of doors. The place has not been
definitely selected.
The challenge was sent by Clint
Antrim, of the Silver Lake team, and
accepted. 1t is said that the Silver
Lake people are as confident of victory
as are the North siders. A story is
told that one Silver Lake young man
is so devoted to the game that he
insists on throwing his girls bracelets
at objects on the roadside whenever he
walks with her, just to keep in prac-
tice, and the girl is also so proud of
the s. L. Y. M. and so interested in
the game that she doesn't mind.
As to the other side it is said that
a prominent barber neglects his bust
ness just to practice throwing horse
shoes in his backyard.
From its bed on the T. NJ. James
farm two miles north of Topeka where
it was left thousands of years ago by
a glacier, a huge boulder in the near
future will be taken to the Rochester
cemetery about two miles distant. 1t
will serve as a base for a monument
diers buried there. The stone is of red
granite. 1t measures about five by six
feet. 1t is irregular in shape with a
fiat top. The top will make an excel
lent rest for the monument. The stone
weighs about ten tons. 1t will be
moved by a capstan and team similar
~ as houses are moved and will re-
quire about two days to make the jour
ney. Blue post will be in charge OF
the work
Plans for the monument proper are
under consideration and part of the
money necessary has been raised.

four thousand people, from vari-
Gus sections of the Lone Star
State, Hon. Morris Sheppard,
candidate for senator to succeed,
Hon. Joseph Weldon Bailey,

simplicity, he held up the shep.

Dancing the Turkey Trot

A dispatch from Warrington
says that at ball given by one
of the wealthiest and most promi-
nent society leaders Of thai city
a few nights since the women
smoked cigarettes while they
danced the turkey trot. Com
menting upon this a well known
writer of Washington expr esses
the belief that the cigarett habit
and the drink habit are rapidly
undermining the moral stamina
of Washington society. The
woman author declares these
habits soon cause woman to
lose her natural reserve and be-
come bizarre and gay. In this
section it is hard for people to
believe that good women any
where so far forget the proprie-
tits as to smoke, drink and dance
the turkey trot at social functions
but the statement that they do
so in our capital city has not
been nied.-Honey Grove

late around and do lot of good.
You buy big beefsteak with
ne and the butcher will buy gro
ceries and the grocer will buy
dry goods and the dry goods
merchant will pay his doctor
with me, and the doctor will
spend me with the farmer for
oats for his horse and the farm
er will pay his subscription to
the local paper and the editor
will pay for his last summers

Common ants sometimes be-
come a serious pest or at least a
very annoying one, both indoor
and out. And expert entOmol'
gist of the Washingt' u state ex-
pertinent station offer some ad-
vice as To means of controlling or
combating them.
The surest way of preventing
injury by ants is to destroy their
nest. Usually the NJ SITS can be
readily found, but if there is any
difficulty, little watching OF
where the ants travel will show
where the nest is located. If
the nest are out in the field,
punch few hold with a stick in
the nests and place a couple OF
tablespoon of carbon bisulphide
in each hole, covering up immed-
lately with the foot so as to throw
a Gaping of dirt into the hole.
The fumes of carbon bisulpnide
are very heavy and will rapidly
pass through the nests, filing all
the chambers and suffocating
the ants. This liquid can be
Purchased at the drug store.
Care must be taken in using it
as it is extremely inilammable
like gasoline.
This method answers much
betters than using ashes or boil
ing water, which are usually un-
successful in externinating the
ants.
Ants in house can be trapped
to sponge moistened with
sweetened water. When many
ants congregate on the sponge
they can be destroyed by little
boiling water from the tea kettle
If ants crawl up fruit trees and
destroy the blossoms or young
shoots they can be kept from do
ing this by tying a fluffy band
Of cotton around the trunks.
Ants will not walk over fluffy
cotton unless they are very
