Loss by smutteu Barley.

About halt million dollars worth
of barley is destroyed by smut every
year in Wisconsin alone. If you are
going to treat smut with hot water,
you had better test your thermometer
by that at the creamery. A few de-
grees too hot will kill your barley.
Every man should have barley plot
and grow his own seed. Two or three
acres will be sufficient to devote to
this seed growing.

Last Wednesday evening, April 8,
1912, occurred the opening of the AL
bion Free Library, under the auspices
of the Albion Campus Club. For some
months there has been a quiet but
strong interest among the ladies of the
Campus Club, looking toward the es-
tablishment of a library and reading
room in this village. Feeling the need
of better facilities for their own
studies, they realized how great might
be the benefit to the reading public of
a reference library to which everyone
could have access. The extension main
tanned by the state of Wisconsin makes
possible the use of travelling library
of fifty volumes, which can be ex-
changed whenever desired for another
group of books from the same source.
With this fact as a nucleus the ladies
have worked faithfully and enthusiast
tically. Funds being required to equip
the rooms for such a purpose, each
club member has earned a dollar to be
used in this way. A committee con-
sisting of Mrs. Mark Head, Mrs. j. q.
Bliven and Mrs. Ernest Drake, secured
the use of two pleasant and convenient
rooms in the Academy chapel building,
have freshly papered them, furnished
them prettily with new curtains, new
book shelves, tables, chairs, maps and
lights. A quantity of magazines have
been contributed, fine new Webster's
unabridged dictionary purchased, a
number of valuable volumes presented
or loaned by various friends of the
movement, and the group of fifty vol
umes from the travelling library have
been placed on the shelves. Thus a
small beginning has been made, which,
it is the hope of the Campus Club, will
grow by healthy stages into a perman-
ent Institution of widespread benefit.
On Wednesday evening the Campus
Club invited the public to attend. the
formal opening of the library, and an
encouraging interest was manifested
by the large number of town people
who were present A program con
sisting of music, recitations, speeches,
and the experiences of the ladies in
earning their library dollars was fol-
lowed by social hour, the serving of
light refreshments, and the inspection
of the library. The evening was very
enjoyable one and the club felt that the
library had opened auspiciously. 1t is
the plan to have the rooms opened each
Monday from to 5 D. m. and from
to 9 p. M, and they, will be in charge
of the club. The library is free to
everyone and it is hoped that the pub
lie will svail themselves generally of
its benefit.

DRY FRYING WITH
Peanut Oil.
The New Cooking Product.

Foods fry so quickly that they are
always dry and crispy, as it heats
to such a high point that you can
cook foods in it in less than half
the time usually required. Pota-
toes fry in five minutes instead of
ten. Potatoes and fish fry SO
quickly that crust forms in
stantly and prevents absorption,
so that they are crisp and delic-
iously dry. There is no unpleas-
ant fat favor-just the natural
flavor of the potato. They are
absolutely digestable, wholly diff
ferent from potatoes soaked in
ordinary fats. There is absolutely
no animal matter in it. Peanut
Oil has the fresh, pleasant odor
of a vegetable product. It's use
is not attended by the slightest
odor in the kitchen, nor do Peanut
Oil fried foods have any sugges-
ton of the offensive odor or flavor
which accompanies the use of cot
tonseed oil or lard compounds.

Strong, Form a Club.
Men From All Departments
Boosting Popular Ex-Chief.

With a view of boosting the candi-
dacy of L. L. Kiene for sheriff, near
ly 20 employees of the State Journal
have organized to promote the inter
ests of the former managing editor of
the paper. Regardless of political 5-f-
f1liations, the State Journal force IS
eryone is working.
Perhaps no man ever walked from
a newspaper Office into a political cam
paign with a more earnest sympathy
of his fellow workers than that ac-
corded Mr.. Kiene when he laid down
his newspaper work ten days ago to
personally enter the campaign. 1t Is
this feeling of personal fellowship and
interest in one of their former chiefs
and leaders that brought about the or
ganization among the State Journal
workers. Yet Mr.. Kiene never men
toned the fight to the employees fur
ther than to answer questions and his
first knowledge of the organization in
his behalf was given after the plans
had been fully developed.
In the organization of former fell
low employees, are men with whom
Mr. Kiene has been associated nearly
20 years. 1t was the personal friend
ship and the admiration for their
former leader that created the "Kiene
for Sheriff. club and aroused the feel
ing that the Kiene campaign was a
matter of personal interest to every
man in the office. Printers, reporters
and members of the business and cir
culatton department Joined the "Kiene
for Sheriff" club with enthusiasm.

WANTS ANOTHER VOTE
Congressman Norris Calls for Second
Senatorial Primary.

Washington, July 1S.-Representa-
tive Norris of Nebraska, progressive
Republican and a Roosevelt supporter,
in a letter sent today to John L. Ken
nedy, chairman of the Nebraska state
Republican committee, asks for an
other senatorial primary in which his
RepublicaniSm is to be tried and a
new set of instructions voted to can
didates for Roosevelt and Taft cleo
tors. He proposes that electors for
both sides stand by the result. Mr.
Norris made the proposal in reply to
criticism in his state and published
demands that he support President
Taft or get off the Republican ticket.
''I am a believer in the recall" said
Mr.. Norris in his letter. "I am will
ing that it should be applied to me, and
if since my nomination my course in
refusing to recognize Mr.. Taft as the
Republican nominee, is unsatisfactory
to the Republicans who nominated me
I am not only willing but I believe it
is my duty to withdraw
Under no circumstances can 1 be
induced to support a man for office
whose nomination, conscientiously be-
lieve to have been obtained by the
corrupt and unlawful methods which /
believe were perpetrated in the so-call-
ed denomination of President Taft and
if my nomination or even my election
must depend on such support then I
much prefer to remain in private life"
Representative Norris defeated Nor
ris Brown in the primary for senator.

Topeka People Attend Bale
Waggener's Picnic.
Greatest Crowd Is Expected in
Border Town Today.

More than half a hundred Topeka
people iourneyed to Atchison today,
the guests of Bale Waggener, whose
annual picnic for the children of his
section of the state is being held. A
crowd estimated at from 10000 to 40,-
900 children, both the younger ones and
the grownup kids, are expected.
There are all kinds of treats for the
kids. Airships fly and there is a cir
Gus, and big parade and all that
kind of thing Nothing that children
will not enjoy is permitted on the pro-
gram.
The picnic opened with the parade
at IL o'clock. From that time until
late tonight the marrymaking will con-
tinue and when it is over the Central
Branch officials will wonder where on
earth all of the passenger equipment
has gone.
In northeast Kansas and out along
the Central Branch almost into central
Kansas Bale Waggener's birthday IS
an event that equals the Fourth of
July. In households where the Fourth
receives scant observance no one
thinks of missing the picnic Everyone
goes. Work is more generally sus-
pended on this day than any other
except the winter holidays
This is the first year that so large
a number of Topeka people have at

time ago said that if the hospital were
moved from Rosedale the building
could be used by the state. We went
down to see Mr.. L. H. Rose, who looks
after the Bell estate to see if the Bell
interests would be willing to accept any
other state institution other than the
hospital. The question was entirely
new to him, and consequently he could
not give an answer
Possibly if the medical fraternity of
the state show enough interest in NOV
ing the hospital to Topeka the matter
Mr. Rose maintains that the state
institutions in the west. This would re-
quire the support of the medical men of
the state. Expression from them as to
the logical location would do away with
a great deal of controversy.
THE matter will come up in the leg

for appropriations for the Rosedale

to stand in the way of the state de-
