chances, however.

1t you have stubble ground
that you want to put in winter
wheat, If the weather is dry,
disk just as SOON IS you can get
your grain off the land. There
may come a heavy rain after
wards and render your disking
useless, but take the chance.
You can let it lie a week or two,
till you get through threshing,
and then pillow. Don't undertake
to plow too deep. Four or five
inches is deep enough, unless
you intend to take a good deal
of time to compact your seed bed.
Every noon and evening before
you unhitch, take your harrow
and thoroughly harrow what you
have plowed that halliday. Why?
If your land is properly disked,
twill not break up very cloddy.
At least it will not seem so; but
clods will form quicker than you
have any idea. Therefore break
them up before they become hard
through shrinkage caused by the
escape of moisture. If you are
putting it on wheat stubble, har.
row enough to kill all the volun-
teer wheat; and if you are put
ting on oats or barley stubble,
harrow anyhow. In other words,
harrow every week or ten days
until you are ready to SOW. \
The time of sowing will de-
pend on your latitude. The far
Their north you live, the earlier
in September you want to sow
wheat. In northern Iowa we
would SOW it from the 5th to the
10th, not later; in central Iowa
from the 10th to the 18th; in
southern Iowa and corresponding
ATTITUDES we would SOW between
the Goth and 18th, and in Miss
ouri and Kansas not before about
the first of October. Our readers
may ask why. Simply because
you want to have time enough to
allow the young wheat to stool
out and cover the ground, to fur
uish protection for the winter.
The reason for sowing it late in
the southern part of our territory
is to avoid the ravages of the
Hessian fly; and it is for this
same reason that you want to
harrow wheat stubble until you
have killed all the volunteer
wheat.
Don't be afraid of putting too
much work on the seed bed for
winter wheat. The deeper you
plow, the more work you want
to put on it; for wheat must have
from two to three inches of loose
surface, and a solid, firm bottom,
aud the seed should be dropped
right in the solid ground.
The best field of wheat we
have seen thisiyear was sOwn
without blowing at ali, but simp-
" disking the oats stubble thor
oaghly. The drouth was exceed
ingly severe in that particular
section, which had done a better
job of blowing than the farmer
could have done. The undersoil
was in exactly the right cOndi-
ton, and by giving thorough |
tillage to the upper two or three
inches he had an ideal seed bed,
better than he could have pre-
any other way. He
might get exactly opposite re-
suits next year under different
conditions.
Don't try any winter wheat

THEY DECIDE TO FIGHT
Night in Jail Causes New Mexican
Legislator to Grow Defiant.

Santa Fe, March 19.-The trap set
by the Republican state central COM
mittee last night in which four mem
bers of the house. Joseph P. Lucero
and Julian c. Truebillo of Rio ARABIA
county and Manuel Cordova and Luis
r. Montoya of Taos county, were ar
rested, charged with accepting brides
to vote for certain senators today, was
declared by the accused men to have
been set by themselves to catch the
"higher-ups.'
After night in Jail the accused
men assumed a defiant attitude to-
day. Their designations prepared last
night were presented to the house by
State Chairman V. Jarmillo. A COM
municatiOn from the prisoners was
presented to the house, asserting that
their designations had been secured
through coercion, that they would
withdraw them and demand a thor
ough investigation. subsequently the
house adopted a resolution authoriz-
ing the appointment of committee
of fifteen to investigate the alleged
bribery charges.
District Attorney Read and his as
sistant, E. P; Davies. today began col
which they planned TO file against the
four men late today.
AS the hour for the senatorial bal
lot approached the feeling in house
grew more bitter. A resolution to APP
point former Supreme Judge E. r.
Wright counsel for the bribery investi-
CATION committee adopted &c to II All
other resolution to remand the accus-
ed members to the custody of the SER
geant-at-arnS, was offered and led to
a verbal clash between Speaker Bac5

the speaker ordered the sergeant-at-

before taking action on the resolution
which was adopted unanimously and

pended.

K. KS HOLD RALLY.
Making Ready for Their Big Minstrel
Show.

One hundred men attended the
Karnival knights smoker held Mon
day night in the parlors of the Com
mercial club, the entertainment fea-
readings by E. w. Thompson in the
French Canadian dialect.
Although Joe Bren of Kansas City,
the director of the minstrel show
which the men of the K. K. K. will
present in the Auditorium April IS
and 10, telephoned the last minute
that he would not be able to attend
the meeting as contemplated, two let
tiers were read from him which had
been received by President G. B. Burge
and which told of his plans relative to
the performance.
The name suggested for the show
was 1.-The Karnival knights Mammoth
Minstrel Extravaganza" and this
seemed to make a hit with the fell
lows present.
Short talks were made by Charles
Mitchell and Albert Marshall, and a
large number of new names were add
ed to the list of club members.
w. o. Rigby was given full charge
of the ticket selling.
ct am going to make this the great
est show Of it's kind ever put on in
your city, said Joe Bren in the latest
letter received by Mr.. Burge. ''It will
be elaborate in every detail and moth
ing will be overlooked. When 1 tell
you the show is going to be the great
est ever given in Topeka, mean 1t,
and every word of it.
I'm regard to the following items I
note what you say, and Will advise
you in due time in regard to the
same, viz: Mutt and Jeff, stage set
ting, and specialties. Any suggestions
you have, fire them in. 1 will keep in
close touch with you right along, and
am with you forty ways to make this
one glorious success"
Already the Karnival knights have
begun to plan for the big karnival
parade next fall, the expenses of which
will be betrayed b. the money taken
in while the minstrel is in progress.

who are interested in having beautiful
abundant hair are taking rapidly to
the use of a teaspoonfuI of canthrox

good, as the cleansing lather which
canthrox makesEremoves dirt, dan

soft t1uf1ness to the hair. It will not
cause fading, brittleness, streaking or

especially to the woman who does her
own shampooing. It is also becoming
decidedly popular with hair dressers.''

LOOKING FOR JOBS.
Two Hundred and Fifty Boys Who
Want Another Chance.

George w Riley, an official of the
state reformatory school at Hutchin-
son, has some two hundred and fifty
boys for whom he is looking for jobs
in the country and in small towns.
ANY farmer or merchant or editor or
manufacturer who wants to give
boy a second chance to make good can
get a boy by notifying Mr.. Riley.
1t don't sound very good to offer a
boy from the reform school for a po-
sition that requires steadiness and
skill, but it is not as bad as it appears.
They teach these boys trades at
Hutchinson. They teach them to be
patient and quiet and industrious and
cleanly. Most of the boys at the in
stitution are not vicious. They just
went wrong for any one of dozen
causes that may beset any ordinary
boy Lots of them are hoping and
praying for just one more chance
MI Riley keeps close tab on the boys:
He points with pride TO the record or
have achieved. He gives each boy a
character when he gets him a Job
and his estimate is based on actual
facts gained from close observance OF
that boy for one or more years. He is
responsible for the boys future con-
duct and he is careful in placing his
Most of these boys tell Mr.. Riley
they would rather work in the country
where they have less temptations.
They want to work and keep busy and
make up for lost opportunities.
Mr.. Riley was in Topeka comforting
with Governor Stubs about his work.
The governor was deeply Interested In
Riley's efforts to care for the boys

WIFE SEES SPEELMAN
Reports of Serious Condition Bring
Her to His Bedside.

Anxious and worried because of the
reports of her husbands sickness, Mrs.
Ward D. Speelnan came to Topeka
from Wakefield Wednesday afternoon
and spent four hours with the bank
teller in his ward in Christ's hospital.
She returned home on a late night

Mrs. Speelman came to Topeka short
" after 8 o'clock She was taken at
once to the hospital and spent the re-

husband AS she left the hospital short
~ before dark. there were evidences
of recent tears in the woman's eyes.
She was visibly nervous and hurried to
a car line. The wife of the defaultins
bank teller refused to mention matters
discussed in her visit with Speelman,
or to talk of their plans for the flu
ture.
Il haven't anything to say to the
newspapers' declared the young wo-
man. Its perfectly awful the things
they have said. Too much has been
printed already and I hope you cal.

Then Mrs. Speelman boarded a car
Later in the evening she returned to
Wakefield. where she is staying WITH
her parents, DIR. and Mrs. Pearson. 1t
was the first time Mrs. Speelman has
visited her husband in nearly two
months. Following her visit the week
after Speelmans arrest, the woman
arranged some business matters and
returned to western Kansas.
Speelman will probably remain in the
hospital until the day of his sentence.
Since his removal to the hospital,
Speelman is showing signs of improve
