DICTAGRAMS
The s'dictagraph'' is the one sure

The .'dictagraph'' is the one sure
cinch.
The horseradish season comes on
apace. Beware of the nightmare.
Ignorance is vice and prejudice is
her handmaiden. Too many folks get
stuck on the handmaiden.
If given half start a malicious
statement will go on increasing in
volume and velocity, but the plain
truth has to be hammered in and ad-
vertised week after week.
Viewed from any standpoint, hon
esty is the best policy. Uncle Heck
says the really smart man never gets
lows dough- His good common sense
keeps him straight.
The man who is willing to be de-
ceived is just as culpable and even
more SO than the deceiver himself
Old ST says he hates 'em both. The
receiver is as bad as the thief
In recent short story the author
put small boy to bed in the evening
and let him gaze on the crescent
moon through an east window. Old
ST says some folks never see acrescent
moon in the east because they don't
get up in time.
The president of the Farmers
Union thinks our district schools
should be consolidated into town
ship graded and high schools. Old
ST says that consultations is good
thing, but -s'concentration'' is even
better. He says our country schools
are too s'high'' already. They try to
teach too many things and cHnch
nothing He thinks we should have
less of the trimmings and more of
the solid meat and bone of spelling,
reading, writing and arithmetic
especially mental arithmetic He
says our high school pupils cannot
spell and if one of 'em happens to
have sore finger he cannot find the
sum of four plus five. Uncle Heck
listens quietly until ST gets through
and then says: ''Yes, but that is the
fault of the district and graded
schools. Some of the kids get the
counting habit even before they are
started in school life Habits first
acquired are the most persistent and
sometimes the most undesirable. The
family curving of the twig is the
hardest to straighten out

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, March
26, 1912-As anticipated, a more re-
spectacle showing of cattle appeared
on the market today than on recent
Tuesday, the count showing 5000 head
for the day. The market is steady to
10 lower today, generally speaking,
though the best cattle in all classes
are selling steady Native steers sold
at $50 and $500 today, and some
Colorado steers, weighing 144O pounds
sold at $3.50. Bulk of the native
steers sell at $3.50 to S7.6O, and quar-
antine steers range from S5 10 to
1925 this week. Stockers and feed
ers are holding about steady this
week. Prairie hay sold wholesale to-
day at $3.50 per ton, and alfalfa
brought S24, record prices in each
case. Native cows sell up to So and
heifers to 81 for prime animals, top
bulls, 1915. Pork and mutton are
getting so high on their own account
as to be prohibitive to an increasing
number of consumers constantly, and
the complaint that people are turn
ing from beef to those meats has
been removed.
Ten thousand hogs came in today,
a number insufficient for the demand
and the market gained strength as it
progressed, till at the close prices
we're Is cents above those of yester-
day, and bulk of sales at S7.45 to S7.65
and light weights S7.25 to $3.50.
Lambs are easing off a little this
week, though the close today was
some firmer than the opening. Sheep
and yeaFlings are holding steady with
the best time last week Some year
lings sold at $3.50 this week; heavier
yearlings, .25 and s6.35. ewes worth
up to S5. IS for the best, weathers
among the sales at S6. Top lambs to
day brought $40, though choice
ones would have made $50. Clipped
lambs sold up to $50. Run today is
10, 900 head.

w. Ashcraft. president of the Trego
County Farmers Institute.
Agricultural College,
Manhattan,
Dear Sir-The college is in receipt
of considerable correspondence rela-
tive to the construction of concrete
Silos. 1t has been decided, therefore,
that one or more representatives of
the college will be detailed to render
personal supervision in the erection
of a limited number of the solidwall 4
reinforced and also the thin-wall or
metal-lathe concrete structures. This
man is paid by the college, but his
travelling and living expenses incurred
on the trips must be paid by the
parties benefited.
1t will be impossible for US to assist
in the erection of any great lumber
of silOS, but it is our aim to distribute
these to as great an extent as possible
throughout the various counties
where cement siloS have not been
previously erected.
Western counties will be favored as
far as demands from that section
have been devoted largely to the
eastern section. Should you desire to
be included among the numbers assis-
ted by the college this year, l shall
be pleased to hear from you at once.
am now arranging some circuits
and wish to complete the same in
the very near future.
Cement silos should be erected be-
fore hot weather reaches us, thus
avoiding the tendency to check
When writing do not fail to state
the size and type of silo you wish
In order to help as many as possible
this work must begin in April.
Very truly yours,
George S. Hine,
In charge of Silo construction.

HEART TO HEART NO. 2.
George p. Taylor,
St. MaryS. Ohio,

st. Marys, Ohio,
My Dear Taylor
am not surprised that you want
to know more about our street canals
and snow tunnels which l told you
about in my last communication
Well, they are working all right, and
most people are satisfied, but it seems
that there is always somebody ready
to kick on a good thing Some say
the water in the tunnels is too cold
they can't go swimming in it. Others
want the walls and roofs of the tun-
nels sandpapered and whitewashed.
On the other hand, good many who
are not on the tunnel line want the
lines extended. They offer to put up
the money for the extra expense,
provided they can have free boat
rides and get interest on the capital
invested.
We have no street commissioner
now of course but we have canal in
spector, who is also chief of police.
He has been provided with a gasoline
gondolA and an official gondolier.
Everybody has to put number on
his canoe or launch and all keep on
the right side of the waterway in or
der to avoid collisions.
Those tunnel catfish are doing fine
and are very tame. They will come
right up to the trough for their feed
when they are called. However, they
are very greedy and their owner has
been ordered to put muzzleS on them
to keep them from gnawing the hitch
racks on the main canal. You see
those hitch racks and posts are very
necessary. We hitch our boats to
them.
These snow tunnels are regular
whispering galleries If anything
happens over on the west side of town
everybody on the east side of town
knows al: about it Immediately.
If citizen blows his nose on the
south side it sounds like thunder on
the north side. The slightest whisper
can be heard from end to end of the
canal system. 1t is very inconvenient
almost a nuisance especially as the
political campaign is just opening up.
Worse yet, perhaps, is the fact that
these whispering galleries have put
the village gossips out of business.
They have appealed to the mayor for
relief He says that he can't do
much but he may have an ordinance
passed which will compel everybody
to shut up or put on a muller. If it
works well it will be fine thing.
The starving jack rabbits also are
beginning to make some trouble
They are digging down through the
snow to the roofs of the houses AL
ready they have reached the cupola
of the court house, broken through
the windows and the attic is full of
them. They seem to be trying to
nest with the English sparrows. The
janitor is having the time of his life
with them. He thinks it is all on
account of Easter coming on.
Allow me to say in conclusion that
i have given you this plain statement
of actual conditions out this way so
that you will not be alarmed by any
extravagant stories you may read in
the papers.
Very veracIously,
X. G. K.
