in this futurity. Next year they will
show as yearlings for $2500 more

Hutchinson has always had a great
hog show This year it promises to
be larger than ever and interest Is
manifest throughout the entire coun.
try in this Poland-C futurity. Be
sure to see the hog show at Hutch
inson. We have often spoken of Kan
sas as the natural home of cattle and
the health resort for hogs. With its
alfalfa pastures and corn fields it can
produce hogs as profitably as any
place in America and it's climate is
conducive to their health and physl-
cal welfare. We are on the sunset
side of the corn belt and yet AZ per
cent Of the corn of Kansas is raised
in the counties within seventy-flve
miles Of Hutchinson This territory
produces enormous herds of swine
when the farmers take to the bust
ness. 1t Is on the uplift in this COM
munity and the demand for breeding
stock is excellent. Farmers are us

The Natural Meeting Place Of the
Breeder and His Buyer.

Kansas is the third cattle state of
the Union. That is will hold its place
to say the least is putting it mildly.
Kansas is natural home for cattle.
In the wild state of nature it's luxu-
RANT pastures were the grazing
grounds Of countless thousands OF
wild cattle called buffalo. The we'll
bred domestic cattle of today are dis
tant relatives of the buffalo. 1t only
goes to show what environment and
feed will do towards the elevation
and betterment of livestock.
The cattle show at Hutchinson is
one of the greatest in America. Prac-
tically all the breeds of beef and dairy
cattle are exhibited. The competl-
ton in the classes is frequently strong
and there is often ten or dozen in
line. frequently it is difficult to pick
the best In the class. 1t is by COM
parison that most men do most
things. To see this great cattle show
is liberal education in itself. Every
farm, breeder, feeder or stockman
Of any kind can feel we'll repaid by
visit to and a study of this great
show of cattle.
Many of the cattle shown are
brought from other states. While Kan
sas has a number of good breeders
there is great room for improvement
and development. Kansans have a
desire for better cattle-cattle that
will mature earlier If for beef and
sell for the highest price in the mar
ket; or, il for dairy purposes will

which marks the spot of the sup
posed first landing on Watlings
island, we find a great number OF
statues erected In honor Of the dis
covsrer Even the English have done
homer to the navigator at Nassau in
the Bahama islands and at Trinidad /;
and the people of Santo Domingo
haVs also raised splendid monu-
meHts; while in Cuba, where, in the
cathedral at Havana, the bones Of
Columbus were so long inferred,
there are a great many representa-
lions of this historic figure. The
statue which is now placed in the
Presidents palace, Havana, Is an ar
tistic piece Of work, but the most
striking effigy of all in Cuba is Vail
mitjana's sculpture depicting Column
bus In chains. 1t is to be regretted
that this beautiful work is only a
clay model. The representation is
that Of Columbus in his old age. He
Is seated on coil of rope on the
deck of the ship which is carrying
him to Spain. He reclines against a
capstan, his fettered hands held
before him. The artist has caught
a striking expression of resignation
combined with melancholy. The work
is>a masterpiece Of sentiment and ex-
preston.
Another historical group is that
which was presented by Empress Eu-
genie of France to the Republic of
Colombia. 1t now stands at Cristo-
bal, the Canal Zone.
Throughout Latin America the ven
Grafton for Columbus is universal, and
we find his memory honored in cities
Of Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile and
other Pan-American states.
1t is curious to note that it was
also a Latin, Frenchman, who
erected the first monument in the
United States in honor of the achieve
ment of Columbus. In Baltimore
there still stands a monument erect
ed over a century ago in honor Of

Gle IN shaJen in effigy. So It IL with
the new Columbus statue unveiled In
Washington on June s. This marks
the first great memorial which the
United States government has erect
ed to Christopher Columbus.
There has long been feeling that
this country has not had a really
worthy monument to the man who is
primarily responsible for the exist
ence of the nation.
The feeling took concrete shape
when, in 1906, Representative James
A. Goulden of New York introduced
a bill appropriating the sum of $780,.
600 to be used for Columbus memo,
rial. Congress passed the bill and II
was signed in 1907 by President
Roosevelt.
The design is a combination OF
fountain, shaft and statue.
The fountain is semi-circular, 70
feet wide and 65 feet from front to
rear. The balustrade which half en-.
circles 1t bears the efiigy of a heroic
lion at either extremity. The salient
feature of the memorial is a splen.
did stone shaft surmounted by a
globe. Before this shaft, which rises
in the center of the fountain circle,
Is statue Of Columbus.
The globe which surmounts the
shaft indicates the contribution the
discovery of Columbus was to the
science of geography. This globe
is supported by four massive eagles

Racing at the Kansas State Fa
Hutchinson.

The racing events at the Kansas
State Fair, Hutchinson, are of the
highest type and quality to be found
on the American turf 1t is with
pride and satisfaction that the man
agement can truthfully say that they
have 30 conducted the racing events
OF the Kansas State Fair that they
have had no business before the
Board of Appeals Of the American
Trotting Association, under whose
rules they race. Racing is conducted
under a code Of rules. Many men
have never seen the little book which
contains these rules. They are the
result OF the experience OF turf men
for a hundred years. Without the
enforcement Of these rules, racing
would amount to nothing. And 1t Is
one of the grandest, most inspiring
entertainments in the world. The
owners, trainers, and drivers are deal
ing with the highest type Of animal
the world ever produced. They are
dealing with an animal which has
been the constant companion of man
through all the centuries of civiliza-
ton. No one thinks more OF horse
than the owner, trainer or driver of
a high class racing horse. They eat,
sleep, travel and live with him and

with outstretched wings. Upon It,
in high relief, are cut the topograph-
zeal features of the new world. At
either side Of the shaft there appear
figures portraying the sculptor's con-
ception of representative types of the
new and old world. The figure of an
American Indian, energetic in pose,
one hand reaching over his shoulder
and grasping an arrow from a culver,
represents the new world, while the
statue Of patriarchal Caucasian, Of
heroic proportions and thoughtful
mien, typifies the old world.
On the mace at the hear of the
shaft Is placed medallion repre-
senting Ferdinand and Isabella of
Spain.

handiwork is recognized they would
not attend the Fair. They are like
everybody else,-naturally 60 where
their interests are, recognized. On
account Of this the State Fair Of Kan
sas at Hutchinson devotes the largest
exhibition building on its grounds to
the departments In which women are
especially interested, such as textile
fabrics, kitchen, fine arts. Horticulture
and the like. This building Is 1OSx

In this building for the edification, en-
1oyment and pleasure of women It
has been observed year by year, too,
that men are becoming more and
more interested in the exhibits made
by women In their various depart
ments and the aisles of the building
are thronged by man as well as wom-
en- all day long. Anything that
creates such an interest as this proves
to the Fair management that it is well
worth while. The object lessons to

believe that sailors wore them for
protection.
The representations which we see
today of Columbus can nearly all be
traced back to an engraving called
the Paulus Jovius cut, which was
made from a painting that has been
lost.
Even the lost painting was not an
original likeness, for it was painted
on what the lawyers would call
"hearsay evidence" But as 1t was
executed some time in the early
years Of the sixteenth century the
features may be taken as fairly cor
rect.

give the most butter fat upon the
least feed. This being the situation
there are thousands of men who visit
the Fair at Hutchinson with view to
either now or soon buying foundation
stock. Thus 1t becomes the natural
meeting place of the breeders and his
buyer. For years to come, Kansas
will be one of the best markets for
high bred cattle of both beef and
dairy breeds.

comparable triumphs he secured for
the home of his final adoption, Spain.
Latin America, too, was the area
over which his discoveries were ex-
tended, for it Is fact that he had
NO knowledge of the existence of the
vast continent to the north Of the
Caribbean sea and the West India
islands. He had been to England
and at one time in despair had ap-
piled to the court of England to help
him in his great ambition, but his
experience and his fame were Latin.
Perhaps on this account the name
of Columbus is incorporated more
prominently in the nomenclature OF
Latin America than in that of Anglo
Saxon America. The Republic of Co.
iombia bears witness to the honor
with which he was held from the be-
ginnings of independence in the
western world. Today the one-time
insignificant little port in Panama,
Colon, at the northern entrance to
the canal, indicates another attempt
10 perpetuate the name Of Columbus
an a geographical way. Other coun-
tries have districts or rivers, public
parks and theaters, with the name
of Colon, and 1t would seem to be in
Spanish, as it's equivalent, Colombo,
an Portuguese, mark Of affection as
we'll as of honor for the discoverer
of America.
The United States has given his
soon as the founders of this Repub-
lie could consider designations apart
from those inherited from provincial
days. AS the country grew in area,
towns We're named Columbus, and the
designation of the federal district,
which was to be the seat of govern
ment, shows that the discoverer was
not forgotten, on the continent that
once might have been his. Perhaps,
however, the greatest compliment to
the memory of Columbus is that i'm
piled in the poetical appellation Co
1umbia," the allegorical name given
TO the United States.
There can be no denying the fact
that the recognition of the great
achievement of the admiral has been
tardy. 1t is well known, however,
that often the delayed judgment of
history alone awards to great men
the honor they deserved. We are all
80 familiar with the story of Column
bus, as 1t has been handed down to

dustrial crisis for which he was in no
way responsible In closing he said:
THE great problem, after all, is how
to distribute income. One man may
spend a million a year wisely; but
will it do as much as the same amount
of money spent by a thousand ordin-
ary individuals? We must seek to dis
tribute incomes. There are two things
necessary for the adjustment of this
problem--proper taxation and public
ownership. The expenditures of the
multitude determine our economic and
social conditions; but the public goes

unconscious that 1t Is our reprenenta-
tive in the tax.
"Ruskin's statement, There is no
wealth but life" emphasizes the
thought that the great problem is to
secure the fullest life possible for the
great mass This can be accomplish
ed by greater social expenditure and
consumption; by the creating of more
and better public buildings for the use
of the entire people, Libraries, baths.
ETC.: by the laying out of magnificent
park systems; by the enlargement OF
our public schools SO that not only the
child may be reached, but the father
and mother as well: all of which will
be made possible by the influx OF vast
public moneys when the problems Of
taxation are solved and the burden

Fine ADDRESS
THE GREAT LECTURER TALKED
TO A LARGE AUDIENCE LAST
EVENING ON THE NATIONS
HUMAN RESOURCES AND GAVE
NEW IDEAS.

There was good attendance at the
Grand last night for the free lecture
course entertainment which was fur
nished by Prof. Charles Zueblin. Prior
to the address Miss Blakesley render
ed number of pleasing vocal selec-
tions which were well received. Mr..
Zueblin was introduced by DIR. Bait,
manager of the course in a few well
chosen words.
He said that at present there is no
accurate measure of efficience. I'm
scrupuIous employers and inefficient
employees compete with those who are
honest and efficient. Trade unions had
to meet the problem of the introduc-
tion of machinery, the entrance of
women into trades and the labor of
unslSilled workmen. He said the
standard of living can only be main
to all classes. He believed that the
time was coming when every child
that enters this world will do SO in
the presence of a government physi-
clan. He thought that children would
no longer dread school when we use
scientific knowledge in the treatment
they receive there. He said that we
shall go on in this application of
science, that we know where we need
people TO-DAY, DuI we 90 not know
where we do not need more people and
when this problem is solved it will also
solve the problem of the unemployed.
He said that more attention must be
paid to collective thrift, and the best
method of attaining that is the build
ing association and the insurance
principal, and that we are just cross
ing the possibilities of insurance. He
said he looked for the time to come
when old people might be pensioned,
and ne claimed that people leave by
