The new problems and the New
Education" was the them. uf Prof
ID. M. Bowen Of the State Nanua
Training School at Pittsburg iu his
: address to Chanute teachers 10 the
Library hall Saturday morning. The
manner IN which material things
and business affairs charged 10 the

States presented new problems for
education to meet.
"Our new education must prepare
men and women for special duties 10
specific places" said Professor Bowen.
"This does not mean that we are to
neglect former educational ideals as
they are essential for fusing the
great cosmopolitan life of our country
and making possible the continuance
Of our Democracy"
He closed his address with a plea
'or positive character, for men who
ire willing to do their part for the

interests take a second place when

MANY HEARD JUDGE SCHOOHOVER

Judge Schoonover of Garnett used
frequent witty illustrations to en-
phasize the stong points which he
made in his address at the Methodist
church Sunday evening to large
audience on ''Doubts and Doubt
ers." In speaking of the miracles
Judge Schoonover said that the use
of the wireless telegraph and other
common places of 1912 would have
been as marvellous to the people of
Christ's day as the turning of water
into wine.

WHY NOT MORE FARMS NAMED?

Lee Burris is one OF the men VIII,
has most recently had the name O
his farm registered with the county
clerk according to the provisions of
recent Kansas statute. His farm il
located two miles north of Chanute
and he has named it East Lawn.
The Kansas Industrialist has the
following to say about the value OF
naming farms. The only business
that does not pay to advertise is the
business that fails. Farming is con-
sidered business, capitalistic ven
ture, nowadays. Anything that can
advertise the farm makes the pro-
ducts of that farm just that much
more in demand. One of the most
convenient, cheap, and profitable
ways to let people know about your
farm Is by having attractive sta
tionery.
Farmers over the state are using
printed stationery. The expense is
very slight 1t makes the farm
business, and not place to stay
until something better turns up.
Strangers are instantly and pleasantly
attracted when they open a letter
from farmer aud find the stationery
contains the name of the sender and
the farm name displayed on the
letterhead. There is something
about the form Of such letter that
seems to guarantee that the sender
is on the job all the time and does
things IN business-like manner.
Various forms are used for the let
terheads. Many of the styles include
cuts, advertising the owners products.
For example, w. A, Brown has a
letterhead that says 10 a business like
way "W. A. Brown and Family, Pine
hurst" ~. B. Morrison and Com
pany" is the way farm near Over
brook has its letterheads read Farm |
products are presented to the receiver
Of the letter through the medium of |
printers ink and attractive type.
Most OF the letterheads coutaln
directions about the way to get to
,he farm and the way to address
etlers to be assured OF their safe
arrival And It pays. OF course
lie nearest printer is always glad to
luote prices and do the work.

ed throughout the evening.
The Chanute girls have put up
good exhibitions before but they
surpassed themselves Friday night
and played the best game that they
have played in the rink this season.
Misses Mae and Ruth Filson as
forwards played their usual good
game but equal credit is due to the
other girls for successfully advanc.
ing the ball into their territory.
Miss Alice Davis played center and
Miss Inez Barnes center guard and
Misses Cora Shinn and Elsie Cough
were guards.
Miss Mae Filson secured S field
goals and one free throw, and Miss
Ruth Fllson tossed 7 baskets. The
guards did their work so completely
that the only three points secured
by the Coffeyvllle girls were on free
hrows.

Size and Value Of
Farms Increased
Neosho County Land Valua
ton Increased Is Per Cent
During Last Decade.

A bulletin pertaining to the
: thirteenth census of the United
States of 1910 recently issued by
the department of Commerce and
Labor gives statistics concerning
agriculture from which the data
given below about farms of Neosho
} county is taken. The statistics are
of the date of April IS, 1910.
A 'farm" for census purposes is
all the land which is directly f4rmed
by one person managing and con-
ducting agricultural operations,
either by his own labor alore or
with the assistance of members of
his household or hired employees.
The term agricultural operations"
is used as general term referring
TO the work of growing crops, pro-
ducing other agricultural products,
and raising animals, fowls, and
bees. A "farm" as thus defined
consists of land, or of a number of
separate and district tracts, and
these several tracts may be held
under different tenures, as where
one tract is owned by the farmer
and another tract is hired by him.
Further, when land owner has one
or more tenants, renters, croppers,
or managers, the land operated by
each is considered 'farm.'
The number of farms in the
county is 22oS as compared with
a5os in 1900. In applying the
definItion of efarm" for census
purposes, enumerators were in +,
structed 10 report as 'farm" any
tract of 8 or more acres used for /
agricultural purposes, no matter :
what the value of the products
raised upon The land.
The value of farm property in
1910 was SI5,9z8,o4I, as compared
with $9,o7o,o59 in 1900, the per
cent increase in the decade being
1876. This per cent is similar to
the other counties in eastern Kansas
but is much less than the increased
value for western counties which
made great strides in the ten years.
The Ness county increase for the
decade reached the remarkable
igure of 373 9 per cent and even g
hat exceeded by the value Increases
n few of the other western coun- 4
es which had previously been a
'oorly improved. Ii
The increase in valuation for the 81
hree counties associated with Ne q

blows: Allen county 1903 per ef
ent, Woodson county 8o.7 per

The Neosho county farm valua-

city that is used to big enterprises,
could not raise 100000 for her great
est asset, Kendall college, in the same
length of time.
What does this campaign mean to
Tulsa-the Greater Tulsa of the future.
Let us look at the matter from
purely financial standpoint. which
shows that the Kendall college pro-
jocted will be one of the greatest fin
ancial assets of Tulsa. Each student
i'm college represents an expenditure Of
nj least $4,000 per year When 100
Tulsa Young people attend Kendall
rather than college in some distant
city. for there is none within 100 miles
Of Tulsa. 1t saves $4,000 TO Tulsa
enterprises. annually.
when 400 young people come to
Kendall from outside cities, and that
is very low estimate for the growth
of the next five years. they bring at
least stOO. 600 with them annually to
spend in Tulsa. To maintain the Great
er Kendall with 500 students will mean
$40. 600 more In salaries and expenses
of maintenance. Five hundred stud
ents In Kendall viii mean revenue
to Tulsa OF about 100000 annually.
Where or I'm what can Tulsa invest
$1,000 that will bring in an added
revenue to the city of 100000 an
nually?
Give the Kendall college enlarge
ment campaign clear track. and get
in the push and make a noise like
Tulsaite.
