DRY KANSAS.

Wichita, Kan, Aug. 9. Wich-
ita churches will offer up a pray
er tomorrow fer rain.
Alta meeting of pastors here
today the move was inaugurated.
The call asks that as many
churches as possible join and re-
gusts that Christians singly keep
up tie prayers for rain until rain
comes. Associated press.
The drouth and heat are this
year more wide spread and gen
eral than the two have com bined
been for many years
The Herald believes that pray-
ers spiritually are potent, but
Temporarily we do not believe
they would make much differ
ence in this old world of ours.
But the prayers in the east
emphasizes the fact that this
year if we want to get away
from drouth and hot weather we
won't find any relief By going
towards the rising sun.
This doesh't imply that when
it's ory here it is dry eastwa.-dly
but simply implies that this
year the drouth is general.
But the fact of the coincidence
of the drouth being gen eral
won't make it any easier on the
man who loses his crop cit her
here or there.
In Oklahoma, Kansas, and Ne
braska the creeks have dried up
and even threshins machines
have bad to stop for want of
water.

As 10 Big PUMPS.

Last Thursday morning Will
son and Dean started the big
centrifugal pump on the artesian
we'll for the purpose of making a
test as to the amount of water
that could be COTTON out. Sam
Dean hooked the big four engine
to the pump and started the
grind. After running the pump
for thir6y minutes the supply of
water obtained was perhaps
twice tbe natural flow of the
well. Taking this into consid
Grafton it can readily be seen
that it would be big paying
proposition to install a pump n
connection with the flow. 1t
can be seen what has been done
this year with supply of water
and take one year with another
the well as it now flows will cas-
lily take care of quarter section
of land. -Richfield Monitor.
1t is possible that a big pump
ing plant tried in some of the big
wells of Baca county would prove e
of value to the county, especially
in the Blaine and Cimarron river
artesian belts. In different
places in Kansas and Nebraska
tits reported that big pumps
often water u quarter of land.

TYPHOID FEVER.

Typhoid time is here. We can
do much to lessen the chances of
taking it-by giving attention to
what we eat and drink-to our
proper rest and by avoiding
colds.
AS to drinlling-'Boil your
water, say the different state
boards of health; not only what
we drink, but that which we cook
with. Boil it twenty or thirty
minutes, then keep it in dust
proof vessels of some kind jugs,
Jars, bottles, CT pail with Il
tight-titting lid.
AS to eating-eat very light,
just as little as you can getalong
with during August or the hot
weather, and particularly eat no
meat. 1t is heating, and warm
weather will keep you warm
enough.
Beware of unripe fruit or veg
etables. Do not eat too freely of
ice-cream, or anyChiug else that
is equally as cold, for it some,
times upsets the stomach and
bowels,
See that your food is kept
from dust and flies, Think for a
moment what germs are carried
by dust and flies. Cover your
food, and screen the baby, that it
may not become infected by
germs left by the fly that walks
all owe, poor baby's lips.
Germs so left can soon find
their way to baby's stomach.
AS to resting and avoiding
colds. Take good rests and
sleep. Rest two hours at mid
day-and sleep at least eight
hours at night. But few states
offer the cold summer nights -
as does Colorado, Do not allow
Yourself to become chilled while
sleeping. Plenty Of good-sleep
and rest-helps the body to
repel diseases.

from the Pueblo Indicator

From the Pueblo Indicator
Notwithstanding the unusual
drouth of this season the crops
In the dry farmed districts of
Colorado are said to be fairly
good. Here in Pueblo county
the rainfall since January
has been ID inches, which is
more than one inch short of the
normal, and the same condition
ixists elsewhere, and particular
ly toward the eastern end of the
state where the drouth was
more extended and the crops are
poorer, bling the still worse
condition in Kansas.
Improved methods in dry
farming count for much of the
success. is not all of it but "a
great deal. Careful plowing of
the soil al the right time, the Sc
lection of acclimated, vigorous.
drouth resisting seed, the proper
condition of the seed bed and the
Judicious surface cultivation Of
the surface of the ground after
planting are all essentials.
But, of course, if there be no
rainfall there will be no. crops:
that is certain. No amount of
scientific farming will avail a.
gainst too long, hot, dry spells
where the wind comes off of a
fiery furnace as in the case in
Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and
Nebraska and parts of Iowa, Ill
inois, Indiana, and elsewhere.
Pueblo county bad IS days of
drouth, half the time with high
wind, and it caused considerable
damage, but taken all over the
dry farmed districts will yield
more than a half crop in grains
and folders. Indeed the farm
ers can count themselves fortu-
nate when they read of the terri
bic distress and failure in other
states that are counted as the
leading agricultural states.
The Springfield herald., 1913-08-22

We believe that our readers
!. would rather have the news than
to be treated to "a back-yard-fence
caterwaling entertainment, in a
participation in which the Herald
would not care to jeorard the
wei! wishes and respect of the
community, which it now enjoys,
We believe the good will and
respect of the community is a
thing to be cultivated, and worth
more to any one than to go
down into tn, gutter to handy
words with those found in it's
depths.
When man is wanting in re-
spect for himself, and all decen-
cy. it is easy enough to exercise
his talents in the cesspools of
blackguardism, and foul and
smutty language; but it's repug-
nant to and repels those whose
lives and thoughts are not in that
direction.
The purpose OF the Herald is
to be a clean and decent newspa-
per, let others be what they may.

The Journal is at all times

Sophistry is a fine art and re-
quires talent and tact in its
handling, but the above isn't ev-
en- puerile--it wouldn't do justice
to an average school boy.
If Thaw had been without the
friends and money spoken of a
bove, there wouldn't have been;
in the average of cases, any ex-
pert testimony of high licensed
alienists, any half dozen or dozen
trials, any worldwide notoriety,
any high-power autos waiting on
the outside, and there wouldn't
have been any escape; all for the
reason that he would have been

DRY FARMING
IN A DRY YEAR.

Corn of several varitieS, sor-
ghum, milo maize. kaffircorn,
Mexican beans and wir.ter wheat
are the principle crops grown
hereabouts, and the farmers
who are trying are building up a
small cattle industry, many of
them selling cream and making
Il good living.
Last year was exceptionally
good and the dry land farmers
raised almost as much stuff as
did the farmers back in the
Missouri and Mississippi valleys,
and they raised it on land valued
at from $40 to S15 as against land
valued at from $3.50 to 5000 an A.
Pueblo county is not making
any noise about its success in dry
farming. 1t has never advertis-
ed it to any great extent. The
railroads have not exploited it as
such as they are doing in the
northern and eastern sections OF
the state. and no commercial or
ganization, has advertised it as
one of the principle assets OF the
county.
The industry is being carried
on by the farm ers in a practical,
systematic manner and they are
making "a success of it. The
south half of the county hugs
the higher ranges of mountains
and the foothills and no doubt re-
ceive more frequent showers on
that account. The soil is rich and
partly sandy, receiving and re-
tanning moisture readily and on
an average it produces almost as
we'll as the farms in what are re-
garded as typical agricultural
states.
! The annual rainfall in Pueblo
is II inches, government bureau
measure, but tits presumably
greater the mountainous re.
giuns and close in to the ranges.
