A Problem That Every Public School
Teacher Must Solve.

Sooner or later every public school
teacher must solve this problem:-the
salary question. WHY is it that such
a small per cent of teachers now en-
gagged in the public schools have not
been in the work more then three years
They like the work; it's an honorable
work, a noble work, vet they discou-
tinue it. The trouble is all in the
salary question. After q teacher has
struggled along thru q term of school.
then into a summer normal at heavy
expense, he finds himself ready to 90
into school in the fall pennilesS. This
same thing is repeated another year,
and bv that time he. comes to realize
he must solve the salary question,
and he does it by getting into some
other line Of work. Hundreds have
come to US and prepared themselves
for the business, practical courses OF

the greater salary then he can get in

solicited letters from former teacheps,
thanking US, for giving them the op-
portunltv Of securing practical
education: and then saving: where
they could buy them home, and lay

been in the work fifteen years who

DRAINAGE Congress to be held in this
CITY April 10th to the 18th, one Of the

tiop in the selection of their seed
grain that they give in the Sc
lection of their animals for breed
ing purposes?
There is one thing sure, and
that is that the laws are the
same. 1t is just as impossible to
produce strong, vigorous crops
of grain from poor seed as it is
to produce animals of good in
diNduality and merit when breed.
ing from animals that are defic-
lent for breeding purposed.
There is only one real sensible
answer to the question, and that
is that no farmer can take too
great pains in the selection OF
his seed grains. Have you re-
solved that this coming season
you will not plant one single ear
of seed corn without first know
ing that it is strong and vigor-
Gus? Have you resolved that
you will not use oats for seed
purposes until you have first
thoroughly famed and graded
them? Have you resolved that
in the purchasing of your clover
and timothy seed that you viii
take pains to see that it is OF
the highest quality, free from
foreign seeds, noxious weed seeds
even though you find it neces'
sary to pay a little more money
for it than you might buy seet
of inferior quality for?
There is one thing that is JUS
as sure as the sun rises and sets
and that is that only by using
the best, the strongest, mos
vigorous seed, can we hope. t.
get anything like the yield pei
acre that should be ours on this
rich, fertile soil which we arr
blessed with throughout all thi:
middle west.
Strong, vigorous, productive
soil is not enough. 1t must bt

Confidence.
We Back up Our Statements with
Our Personal Reputation and
Money.

We are so positive that we can
relieve constipation, no matter
how chronic it may be, that we
offer to furnish the medicine
free of all cost if we fail.
We think that it is worse than
useless to attempt to cure consti-
patton with cathartic drugs.
Cathartics may do much harm.
They may cause reaction, irri-
tate and weaken the bowels, and
make constipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accom-
panied and may be caused by
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the large intestine or col.
on. To expect a cure you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
those parts and restore them to
healthier activity.
The discovery of the active
principle of our remedy involved
the labor of skillful research
chemists. This remedy produces
results such as are expected from
the best of the best-known intes-
final tonics, and it is particular
ly prompt in its results.
We want you to try Rexall Or
derlies on our guarantee. They
are exceedingly pleasant to take
and are ideal for children. They
apparently act directly on the
nerves and muscles of the bowels,
having, it would seem, a neutral
action on other organs or glands.
They do not purge or cause In
convenience. If they do not pos
itively cure chronic or habitual
constipation and thus relieve the
myriads of associate or depen'
dent chronic ailments, your
money will be refunded. Try
Rexall Orderlies at our risk,
Three sizes of packages, 10c.,
25c., and SOC. Remember, yor

Feed the Birds.

If February weather proves to
be anything like the kind re-
ceived during the early part OF
January, thousands of quail and
other birds in Missouri and Kan
sas will perish unless they are
supplied with food.
The birds live almost exclusive
ly on grain and weed seeds. The
grains have been gathered and
the weed seeds are now covered
with snow. If the weather mod
crates sufficiently to uncover the
weed seeds the birds will get
along all right. If not grain
should be scattered for them.
The feeding of the birds will
not only prevent suffering BY
starvation, bnt will save the
lives of great weed extermiuat-
ors. AS many as 5000 and 5000
weed seeds have been taken from
the crop and gizzard of a single
bird. The birds are farmers
friends not only in the destruc-
ton of weeds, but also in the
killing of harmful insects. Mil
lions of grasshOppers are annual
ly disposed of by birds. Potato
bugs are destroyed and worms in
trees are eaten BY birds.
The game wardens of both
Missouri and Kansas have asked
that the birds be fed. Usually a
bunch of straw attracts attention
of the birds and grain can be
scattered on the ground near the
straw. The snow should be
pushed away and the grain scat
tered on the earth. If spread on
the snow, too much of the grain
will be lost. Wheat, kaf6r corn,
millet or corn are suitable, seeds
for the birds. The places select
ed for scattering seeds should be
psts where shs birds stsy and

That Manure Pile.

EIldL WdIluIE l llCS
Did you ever stop to think just
what a manure pile would be
worth to you if properly scat
tered out on the field where the
crop would have an opportunity
to utilise all the plant food con-
st.tuents it contains, and further
more the aid that would be given
in placing the ground in the
proper physical condition?
One must certainly stop and
think, when he fully realizes the
fact that practically 80 per cent
OF the plant food used in the pro-
dnction of our various crops, can
be returned to the soil in the
way of manure.
What are you doing with that
manure pile this winter? Have
you started to haul it out on the
clover stubble that you did not
get plowed up last Playground
that you expect to put into, corn
this coming season? Do you
have a piece of oats stubble that
you feel that you have to pillow
up and put into corn? If so,
this would be very proper place
to scatter this manure pile,
spreading at the rate of eight to
ten loads per acre.
If you have a piece of alfalfa,
don't forget that a top dressing
during the winter time will pay
for itself many times over in the
Increased yields the coming sea-
son. Bluegrass pasture will re-
spond abundantly, and especially
the light parts here and there
that you have noticed on the
hillsides.
Wherever you put it, don't let
that gold pile (manure pile) lay
around exposed to the elements,
Thereby losing considerable of
its plant food, or possibly be in
a place where it may have a
splendid opportunity to leach
away, decreasing to a very
marked degree the plant food
elements, which should be res
tored to the fields.
The soil must be in good ply
steal condition in order to give
the crop the best it has in the
way of food to make a strong,
vigorous plant that will in turn
produce an abundant harvest.
There is nothing that will put
the ground in as good physical
condition as will manure.
The time is coming when our
farmers will be just as careful in
the preservation of all manure
made upon the farm as they are
today in the securing Of first
class animals for breeding pur-
poses, or pure, vigorous seed for
planting.-Corn.

Better Provisions
for Live Stock.

One lesson which the DltteI
winter weather of early January
should have taught the farmers
Of Kansas, is the great need OF
making more adequate provis-
ion for caring for their cattle
and other live stock in the future.
This is especially true in west
ern Kansas, where unfed and I'M
protected cattle suffered untold
horrors in the storms, many OF
them dying for lack of care.
There seems little excuse for
farmer in any part of the middle
west today letting winter catch
him with a large number of cat
tie in his possession for which
he has no feed other than what
they can pick up on the prairies
and no protection more than a
barbed wire fence. Yet there
are hundreds, perhaps thous-
auds, of farmers in this section
who are doing almost if not quite
that bad.
Looked at from an economic
standpoint alone no man can at
ford to start in on a winter with
q herd of cattle and without food
and shelter for probable bad
weather. Even if he succeeds in
taking his herd through with
i out losing any of them outright,
the injury done them by cold
and starvation will figure decid-
edly against him in his profit
and loss account.
Thousands of tons of wheat
straw is burned every year out
of which windbreaks and sheds
might be constructed, or which
is far better than nothing for
food for suffering stock. The
farms where enough hay, straw
or even weeds to construct a
windbreak might not be secured
are few and far between, as are
the farms where a few stacks OF
some kind of roughness might
not be put up against a time for
severe winter weather.
Then, dropping all through Of
the economic side of the question,
it seems to us that no farmer
who knows it would have been
possible to make his stock rea-
SON ably comfortable and has me-
elected to do so, would be able
to feel just right when his stock
is suffering without food or shell
ter. A man may go out and
wrong his neighbor and the lat
ter has recourse through the
courts or by force of strength.
But the man who shuts up dumb
animals and holds them to starve
or freeze without any chance OF
escape, or revenge on him doesn't
measure up very close to our
ideal standard.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that
a great many learned a needed
lesson this year in this particu-
lar.
