A CEDAR STREET MAN
is AUTHOR OF THIS.

The real dope about this Cedar
and Broadway base ball game;
1t seems to be the general thing
these days that after contest the
looser doesn't lose by real inability
to come through with the goods, but
by some unnatural cause such as
hard luck or being talked out OF 1t.
Take Roosevelt at the Chicago con-
vention for instance. He had enough
dope all right but they failed to
deliver che goods and T. r. lost.
That seems to be the way with
this Broadway base ball team. At
least they don't win and Cedar
street don't feel as though they will
have any more luck this year SO
hiring on the best you have and
Cedar will sure be there any time
and any place. All Cedar wants is
half the say about the umpire.-A

DOG CASE
CAUSES MUCH TROUBLE


Manhattan, June 2S.-Manhattan
has a dog case that threatens to
become as notorious as the Jones
calf case in Iowa. On June Z w. E.
Cravens, a. banker at Keats, six
miles west of Manhattan, had his
neighbor, C, w. Tempero, arrested
charged with having shot small
bun dog belonging to Cravens. The
dog was valued at $50. Today the
case was tried in Manhattan before
Judge Porter. A jury of twelve men
found ,Tempero guilty after twenty
witnesses had been examined. Three
lawyers we're mixed up in the case.
Tempero was fined $40 and ordered
to pay the costs of the case, where
upon he appealed the case to the
district court and gave bond of $500.
The costs have already amounted
to over 5000 in addition to the law
yers' fees.

FLOODS AN AID TO
WESTERN KANSAS WHEAT

Russell, June 28.-The farmers
owning farms along the Smoky Hill
river in this section declare that the
recent flood caused by the heavy
rains up stream in Ellis and other
counties west, of great benefit to
their fields. For day or two a
number of wheat fields in this
county were under water, and In
every instance the crop was benefit
ted instead OF damaged, as was ex-
pected. Albert Kunz, whose entire
field was submerged and anticipat-
ed total loss, reports that HIS wheat
is now four feet high and perfectly
green; the heads are long. having
materially since the flood.
1t will be several days before it
Is ready to cut. Mr.. Kunz says this
Is by far the best crop he has ever
raised. The development Of the
crop along the river and on flooded
lands has been greater even under
the extreme heat than the crop in
The bottoms that were not flooded.

SALARY FOR COUNTY OFFICERS
New Law July First, AbOlishes the
Fee System.

Topeka, June 2S.-One of the
most important laws enacted by the
last Kansas legislature goes into
effect Tuesday. 1t is. the general
fees and salaries law, whereby all
the Kansas county officials change
from the old fee system and re-
ceive only a straight salary. The
fees which heretofore have gone
into the pockets of the officials will
go into the county treasures and
the salaries be paid by the counties.
The salaries vary from $500 in
counties of less than two thousand
population to $500 for sheriffs in
counties with population exceed
ing seventy thousand.
Kansas has been fighting the fee
system for many years. but the in
fluence of the county officials has
been sufficient to block 1t in for
mer legislatures. In the big coun-
ties some offices have been worth
$4,000 to $4,000 year in fees.

May Establish News Service for
PerishabIe Goods.
GOVERNMENT EXPERTS ON JOB
TO Be Made into the
Practicability OF Cooperative
Selling-Rates and Rout-
ing, Too.

Washington, June 2S.-Investi-
CATION is to be started by the de-
partment of agriculture into mar
ket prices for farm products. Sew
eral specialists are to be put on the
Job. They will make study of
producing and marketing conditions
with a view to seeing whether 1t is
practicable to establish market
news service dealing with perish
able goods.
At the same time, Investigations
will be made in the line of co-opera-
tive buying and selling to see
whether sellers organizations can
be formed and whether cooperative
stores for food products can be
made practical.
The employees of the department
of agriculture tried the cooperative
store scheme in Washington over a
year ago, but the store eventually
failed, some of the cooperators
claiming it was not properly man
aged and others declaring that the
plan was killed by the opposition of
the local retail merchants.
The investigation of the depart
ment will take a. wide range, COW
ering railroad rates, routing Of pro-
products and similar problems. In
cidentally, efforts will be made to
utilize by-products that are now
wasted, so as to give a greater re-
turn to the producer for given
crop.

CURRENT TO
KILL CHINCH BUGS.

Frank German, one Of the pros
porous young farmers of this county
has new plan for killing the chinch
bugs. 1t is simple-run an electric
wire between the wheat and corn
field pretty close to the ground so
that the bugs will have to crawl
over it to get from one field to the
other and when they touch the wire
the shock Of electricity will kill
them. He also says you could use
the same current to shock the wheat
when it is cut.-Chapman Advertis-

THE VILLAGE DEACON.
By Bert walker.

eAeAeeAeeeSeRS%
No woman who makes a practice
Of going through her husbands
pockets ever finds anything. The
men are not chumps.
Love appears TO be good deal
IKE the smoking habit. The fell
lows are always experimenting
around to see II they can't find q
brand they like better.
What is most needed at present
appears to be a scheme whereby the
difference. between crawdad and a
black bass bite can be told before.
Any chaump can tell after marriage,
have always noticed that a, mil
lion dollar mouth has a paid up
capital OF about six dollars in world
ly goods and twenty-cent brain.
The fool in this world who parts
with his money does more good than
the fool who never puts any in cir
culation.
I'll tell you about this thing OF
luck: 1t comes to the person who
keeps the weeds cut down so that 1t
can find him. Luck sometimes walks
up and collars an idler, but 1t is
more apt to nab the man who is
busy doing the best he can all the
time. Luck isn't lying around on
the street allowing the loafers to
cover it with WRITINGS. Neither is
1t in a stream waiting for some lazy
fisherman to hook 1t. Luck gen
orally goes hand in hand with in
dustfy. If you sit around and wait
for luck to hand you bag of gold
and make you rich man you are
pretty apt to end your days in the
DOOR house. A four-leaf clover will
bring more luck to the busy fellow
than 1t will to the loafer. 1t may
seem little tough for man to work
hard for a long time and then have
his earnings all swept from him at a
single stroke, but 1t is better to
have had it and lost than never to
have had it at all. And another
thing; luck isn't labeled. So it will
do you no good to stand around and
look for 1t. When luck starts out
to look for you, you won't be able
to hide from 1t. Go to work.
