Joke On The jug Houses.

The whiskey and beer advertise
ments received through the mails
are becoming great nuisance to the
average Kansan but if all the adver-
tisements could be returned at the
expense of the whiskey or beer houses
it would soon be abaued. At many
points in Kansas there is scheme on
among the men who are constantly re-
ceiveing these liquor advertisements
that may put stop to the system
after awhile. At least they can make
the advertising campaign most ex
pensive one for the liquor houses.
When the men get a letter out of the
postoff1ce they put all the slips into
the self addressed return envelope
and drop it into the postoffice. The
postmaster drops the brewer or dis
tillery or whiskey house to which the
letter is addressed card stating that
a letter is held for postage at that
postoffice. The liquor houses sends
stamps for the letter and upon open
ing it finds joke awaiting them

A Layman on Politics.
BY Bert Walker

1t is time the sensible business of
the country and the brain and sinew
of the agricultural districts were
getting their eyes open to the skin
game that is being worked upon them
by these political soldiers of fortune
who are now running their machine
mercilessly over the praries of Kan
sas. This political humbug circus
has now been showing several years
in Kansas. Plenty long enough for
the thinking people to see its purpose.
Thousands of them have come to see
the light, but thousands still remain
in darkness. In the end it is only
the people who viii suffer. These
political and professional machine
politicians have nothing to lose. The
people have. What have the people
gained in these years of Stubs rule
or ruinF Taxes have increased and
the machine dominated legislature
has loaded down the state books with
foolish and expensive laws with no
earthly use whatever. Taxes will
keep on increasing and the people
will be bothered with still more
idiotic and senseless legislation. The
people who are dancing to the music
of this humbug circus will in the end
have to paw the fiddler.

The 1872 national banks with re-
sources of nearly ten billion dollars)
have just made their reports to the
government. Some of the big figures
are worth noting:
The deposits are nearly 5000 mil
lions.
The loans are nearly 5000 millions
The cash is nearly 1000 millions
In other words, the amount of
money the hanks owe their depositors,
and the amount of money the de-
positors owe the banks, are equal
but this amount of money is six times
as large as the amount of cash in the
banks.
Bank deposits are not cash; they
arise from loans made to business
men against property. The banks
coin property into means of payment.
Business is better than a year ago.
Business men need more credit and
more means of payment with which
to do business. The banks have sup
piled this demand by an increase of
$50 millions in loans, creating $50
millions in new deposits.
But there has been no increase in
cash.
The banks are making the same
amount of cash do more work
The demand of the business COM
munity for more currency with
which to make payments has been
met, not by the coinage of the precious
metals, nor by the issue Of bank-notes,
but by an increase of a third of a
billion dollars in bank loans, thus
creating an equal amount of deposits
which can be instantly converted
into currency" through the check
book.
The currency of the United States
is the deposit currency.

Four wires constitute a lawful
fence provided they are securely fas-
tened to posts and proper distance
apart, remarks the Brown County
World. But the real test of fence
is whether it will hold cattle that
want to get out. This is the test ap-
piled to railroads and it must also
apply to farmers. When cattle go
through the fence onto the railroad
track and are killed that is sufficient
evidence that the railroad fence fail
ed. Farmers are no better than a
railroad company. When they try
to hold cattle in a weedy pasture with
two wires and one of them down for
hundreds of feet they must expect
and be prepared to pay the damages
to their neighbors cornfield. There
are many fences of this kind Os-
borne Farmer.

Trap shooting again demonstrated
its wide appeal, at the tournament of
the Rochester IN. " Gun Club,
where Mrs. Alice H. Belknap, wife of
Wyoming, N. Y, physician and S.
Fowler, of Wolcotu, N. Y, veteran
marksman well along in his eighties,
were among those who shot through
the entire program. Mrs. Belknap is
one of many women to take up trap
shooting, either as professional shoot
ers or strictly for the love of the
sport. There are, of course, a great
number of men who have followed
the traps" from young manhood to
the autumn years of life but Roches-
ter was especially fortunate in wit
Messing the remarkable shooting of
these two interesting contestants on
the same field. Mrs. Belknap, who
appeared in a neatly tailored blue
serge suit, handled her gun gracefully
and shot with admirable skill. Mr..
Fowler was remembered by many
who have seen him on the firing line
since long before his hair started
turning to silver He was as spry as
youngster and his scores kept them
all guessing. The Syracuse team
triumphed in the big events. Hank

Farmer Boys Good Writers.
Manhattan, Kans. Sept. 3r

Mammalian, kanS- Sept 5r0.
Give an editor something worth
while to print and he will print it
Give him cheap advertising disguised
as publicity and he will throw it
away. Information of value to the
editors readers gets into print nine
times out of ten. By information, is
meant something of Importance and
value to the editors subscribers. In
one respect the editor resembles his
readers. He likes his information
brief.
Nearly $50 editors in Kansas have
printed agricultural information sent
them in the last year by the depart
ment of industrial journalism at
Manhattan. Nine tenths of this
material was written by farm boys
and girls If it had not been written
have used it.
There is place in the world for
young men and young women who
can write as these students have
written. But the most important
place for them is back on the farm
where they can write the kind of
stories that editors like to print.
That is what the department of in
dustrial journalism is trying to do; to
make farm writers, not reporters or
managing editors.

DICTAGRAMS

Pity the SORROWS of a poor old man,
whose trembling limbs have borne
him to your door; perhaps he spells
no rank installment plan, perhaps he
will not prove a bore. Perhaps he
sells no fadeless ink, no plasters,
powders, pills or paint; mayhas he
only wants drink to fill void now
weak and faint. Perhaps no pencil
he doth vend, no buttons, buckets,
hooks or eyes; perhaps no crockery he
doth mend with glue that took the
worlds first prize. Perhaps he sells
no pewter sticks, no patent safety
razor homes; mayhap he will not sell
golden spex and charge you five and
twenty bones. Alas, alack for hui
man greed, that would our simple
faith abuse; alas, alack for human
need, but blessings on our button
shoes, and providence now give us
grace, this chap is selling wire-tipped
lace.
