He SHORTENS YEAR
Hunter Will Tell Farmers of
Pests in Advance.
Matches Out Bugs in Tank by
Controlling Temperature.

University of Kansas, Aug. "a
That the farmer may be aole to know
in the spring just what insect pests
he will need to look out for with SPe-
cial vigilance during the season and
thus, being forwarned, may ward off
damage, is the purpose of extensive
experiments now being undertaken by
the department of entomology at the
University of Kansas.
To carry out the experiments, Pro-
fessor S. ]. Hunter, head of the de-
partment, has had built n temperature
control apparatus capable of produc-
ing any desired kind of weather in
side. By taking a general average of
many years observations in Kansas
he has figured out the typical Kansas
climate. This climate he will pro-
duce in the apparatus, only shortening
the seasons so as to run year
through in three or four months.
Thus in comparatively short time he
can determine the effect on insect Life
of the typical Kansas year and of the
many variations from the typical con-
ditions.
Professor Hunters observations on
the green bug have shown that when
the temperature in summer goes above
los degrees there will he no green
bugs the following season. But it has
taken years of observations to establish
this fact. With the temperature con-
troll apparatus such a Characteristic or
any insect can be ascertained IN a
short time. 1t should then be possible
to propnesy the prevalence OF any pest
months in advance.

TRADE IS EXPANDING.
Crop Outlook Is Having Good Effect
on Business.

New York, Aug. 24.-Bradstreet's
says: Expansion is the keyword of
the trade situation as the month draws
to a close, and buyers feel the sea
sonable spur to the laying in of sup
plies for fall and winter. This is, OF
course, largely predicated upon the
prospect of assured or expected large
crop yields and finds chief expression
in the west, northwest and southwest
where crop certainty has, generally
speaking, supplanted prediction.
Coincidently with the marketing of
the early gathered crops, collec-
lions show a tendency to improve and
the money market likewise gives evil
dence of increased activity and
strength of quotations. Perhaps the
only possible check to full present or
near future activity is found in the
gradually enlivening political cam
paign, but it is a matter of wide
spread remark that political discussion
is apparently given less than expected
weight.
Trade demand has expanded no.
ticeably in dry goods, lumber, coal,
wool, shoes, leather and, last, but by
no means least, in iron and steel.

When seated at the table in the noon

to have the children fold their hands

Then he runs back and jumps into his

Each day tine children are inspected
by the visiting nurse, Miss Laura
Neiswanger. and they are given any
medical assistance necessary to keep
them in the best of physical condi-
ton.
The crying need in the nursery is a
new floor, or at least in that part of
the room where the children delight in
playing in the sand, and enjoy their
games. In the summer time they go
barefoot, and the governess is kept
busy extracting splinters.
The work of Miss Fowler. who has
been charge of the nursery a few
months is said to be most satisfactory.
She comes from Chicago and has had
previous experience of the kind.
The committee of the Provident As

S. H. Darlington, Mrs. N. P. Nielsen
and Mrs. C. A. Huron.

CAPTURE Wild man.
Soldiers Find Demented Deserter I4iv-
ing in Tree.

Junction City, Kan, Aug. PA
real wild man, about the most forlorn
specimen of humanity that one would
care to look upon, was captured in
the timber between this city and Fort
Riley by detail of cavalrymen from
Fort Riley, sent out for that purpose.
For several months reports have been
coming in that a wild man had been
seen down near the Smoky Hill river,
but few people believed it. Yester-
day, Lee Hendricks, who was blowing
the Carl Stevenson field near the river,
saw some wild grapes growing in the
thicket and went after them. Look
ing up in the tree, Hendricks saw the
wild man, who, on being discovered,
jumped down and ran into the under
brush. Hendricks description was of
a man with long, matted hair and
glaring eyes, who muttered to himself
continually. He wore dirty, ragged
khaki uniform, and this is what led
ties at Fort Riley heard of it, they
imm ediately sent out a detail of SOL
diers, who started in along the river
bank, and beat through the brush to-
ward town. The man was discovered
in his "den." which was merely hole
in the mud, partially covered with a
piece of old canvas.
A short time afterward the man
was found, hiding near the
river. He made no resistance when
captured.
He was taken back to Fort Riley
and questioned and from his ram
bling answers it was learned that he
had been living like an animal for
four months, in and around the place
where he was captured. During that
time he ate only green corn, grapes,
sand plums and whatever else he could
find in the fields and woods. His hair
had grown until it hung down about
his shoulders and his uniform was a
mass of tatters. He is undoubtedly
demented and will be given care and
attention at the post. Although the
wild man" talked freely of his life
in the timber, he was silent when
questioned about his army life and
the officers have been unable to learn
his name, or the regiment with which
he served. 1t is not known whether
he is a deserter who was trying to
hide out, or whether he is merely de-

FIRST DISTRICT CoMMITTEENIEN
Atchison. Brown. jefferson. jackson
Doniphan, LeaVenWorth for Taft.

The Taft and Roosevelt supporters
are having the fight of their lives over
the state trying to elect chairmen of
the county committees who will support
them in the party council. The Pro-
gressives claim a safe majority in the
council-the Taft men are still on the
firing line.
1t is declared by the Taft leaders that
the Bull Moosers are practicing poIiti-
cal trickery in naming the chairman of
the county committees. They say as
soon as an insurgent is named chair
man, the Roosevelt newspapers publish
the news with glee. When a Taft man
is made chairman, nothing is said. 1t
is through these reports, say the Taft
supporters, that the Progressives make
their claims for a big majority in the
party council.
AS a sample of the way the Repub-
lican county committees are organizing
throughout the state, the following Taft
results are shown in six of the eight
counties in the First district
Atchison county: E. F. Allen of Huron
elected chairman. Allen is a regular
and strong supporter of the national
Republican ticket.
Brown county: ]. M. johnson of Ever
est, chairman. Johnson was a Roose-
welt supporter in the primary, but is
reported in favor of the Republican
ticket.
Doniphan county: Phil Kelly of White
Cloud, elected chairman. Kelly is a
strong Taft supporter and defeated r.
H. Larzelee-, the Leland candidate by
vote of to 6. The regulars are in
control of the Doniphan county COM
mittee.
Jackson county: F. D. WOODBURY., of
Holton, strong Taft supporter, re-
elected chairman.
Jefferson county: Herbert z. Butler
OF Nortonville elected chairman. Butler
is a regular and supporter of President
Taft.
Leavenworth county: E. E. Brewster
of Leavenworth elected chairman
Brewster is a regular and is for Taft
for president.

x. c. IA. WATER MAIN DYNANIITEI
Explosion Leaves City without Fire
Protection.

Kansas City. Aug. 24.-Dynamite was
used shortly before midnight to blow
up two sections of the huge 24-inch
water main that carries the water sup
ply from Quindaro pumping station,
five miles west, to Kansas City, Kan.
AS a result, Kansas City, Kan, is with
out water even for fire protection.
Waterworks officials said that it
would take three days to repair the
main. Meantime Kansas City, Kan.
will have to depend on a small 5-inch
pipe for it's emergency line supply OF
water.
The same main was destroyed by
dynamite on July 10, last, near the point
of Fridays explosion. Neighbors say
they saw two men running from near
the scene of the explosion shortly be-
fore it took place. An investigation
showed much careful work was re-
auired to dynamite the pipe. The mis-
creants were forced to drill through a
sewer, located under the main in order
to place the dynamite effectively. No
reason for the dynamiting can be as
signed the police.
