The game between the rival
towns of Isabel and Timber Lake
brought out the largest and most
noisy crowd of the three day S
sports. Timber Lake sports offer
ed to support their team with any
amount Of cash but during the
early part of the game found few
takers. Schmanski, known as "Cy"
was on the firing line for the visit

number of spectacular plays being
made. Poitras did the throwing
for Cheyenne River and Crow Skin
for Standing Rock. The latter
struck out 10 men to Poitras's S

game was much more interesting

CAPPER A BOOSTER
FOR AGRICULTURE
Is Publisher of Several Well Known
Farm Journals.
HELPS The BOYS AND GIRLS
"Better Farms and Better Farming
Conditions in Kansas His Slogan;
interested in Farner-Heips
the Boys and Girls

Arthur Capper, candidate for COVER
nor of Kansas, is vitality interested in
agriculture, which is the chief re-
source of Kansas. He is primarily
engaged in the agricultural publishing
business. Most of his business is with
farmers.
Mr.. Capper has been the sole pro-
prietor of the Farmers Mail and
Breeze for sixteen years. 1t has more
than 100000 subscribers, who con-
slider its publisher a personal friend.
Mr.. Capper has always had a par
ticularly soft spot in his heart for the
boys and girls on Kansas farms. In
the course of a year he probably re
ceived no less than $4,000 letters from
them His interest in these young
friends finds expression in a wide
range of activities in their behalf,
ranging from an annual contribution
of cash prizes for the boys classes in
the Kansas Corn show at the Agri-
cultural college, to innumerable con-
tests and competitions in Farmers
Mail and Breeze and the Daily and
Weekly Capital designed to provide
them with wholesome incentives for
the exercise of their faculties. This
led to the organization, in 1902, of the
Capper Golden Rule club for country
boys and girls. This club has an ac-
tive membership exceeding $4,000 and
nearly as many honorary members.
In 1907 Mr.. Capper founded the first
boys corn club. in this part of the
country. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has since taken
up the formation of similar clubs.
The Capper Boys Corn club, named
by the boys after its founder, has a
embership of 1000 or more, and holds
annual corn growing contest and corn
show each year for valuable cash
prizes given by Mr.. Capper. This
year the boys have an acre-yield con-
test, a sweepstakes single-ear contest
| and several state and county cham
pionship contests, the prizes aggregat-
| ing $500 in value. AS proof these eff
| forts 10 interest the youngsters is not
without its hoped for results, it is
pointed out that these Capper boys
are often winners at other corn shows,
and that one or two of them have
built up a profitable seed corn bust
ness. Many of the best farmers OF
the future will undoubtedly be recruit:
ed from their ranks
At the National Corn Show, al
Omaha, Mr.. Capper bought at auction
the worlds champion bushel for $3.50
Some of this corn was given to the
Kansas Agricultural college Mr.
Capper lived on a farm several years
in ChautauQua county.
Mr. Capper has for several years
been president of the board OF
regents of the Kansas State Agricul
tural college.

"All the political polls that are be-

IF ARTHUR CAPPER WERE
GOVERNOR OF KANSAS

IF Arthur Capper is chosen COVER
nor of Kansas, the visitors to the
state house at Topeka will find him
on the job six days in the week. says
the FL Dorado Times. When clerks
have closed their desks for the day.
this busy man will be found at his
post working and toiling over the bust
ness affairs of the state. 1t is his
way. His whole life has been one of
activity, industry and energy. There
is no excellence without great labor
is a maxim Arthur Capper has kept
constantly before him. And he has
proven in his wonderfully successful
business career that unremitting toll
and close attention to detail, honesty
of purpose and faithful performance
of duty. are the best assets any man
can possess"
In politics, as in business, Mr. Cap
per applies the same principles. His
Republicanism is not a matter of per-
sonal habits or campaign methods,
but of deep-rooted belief in a govern
ment in which the will of. the many
prevails and the welfare of the many
is given priority of consideration over
the wishes of the few. That, he be-
lieves, was the foundation principle
of the Republican party in the days
of it's birth, as it is now exemplified
in the progressive policies of the
party in state and nation"

cAPPER KNOWS HOW TO PICK
GOOD MEN

tFrom the Inter State Farmer, Wichi-
tai
Kansas people like Arthur Capper
and like what he stands for. His
success in picking out men to do
things is the best evidence that he
will make a good governor. 1t is no
reflection upon any other man who
ever was governor of Kansas to pre-
dict that Capper will have the best
bunch of assistant governors who ever
stirred the echoes in the state house,
tina, they will dc more work do it
better, do it quieter, quicker and
with less fuss and froth. Capper's
judgment of men is unerring, and
since one man cannot be the whole
works. that quality is invaluable in a
governor 1t comes natural for him
to pick out men who can carry out his
ideas properly, and since his ideas
are correct to begin with, the combi-
nation is ideal
