COLD WORRIES STUDENTS.
Aggie Scholars Find Buildings Cannot
Get Coal Supply for Awhile.

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. Gold
weather is coming and the students
of the Agricultural college of the state
university are beginning to wear a
worried air. They have just discov-
cred that through an oversight some
where in the administration more than
half of the buildings which constitute
this branch of the college cannot be
supplied with coal until near the mid
die of November, and perhaps the fuel
will not be in until the first of De-
cember.
Last July the board of administra-
ton decided that a tunnel from the
heating plant to the buildings on the
south half of the campus should be
built. The contract for building the
tunnel was let, but the board neglect
ed to sign the proper papers until
about a month ago. Work on the new
tunnel is only barely started and the
chances are that it will be some time
before it is completed. Therefore it
will be impossible to heat several of
the buildings.

EVANSVILLE MAY GET LIGHT.
New Company Offers Juice at Re-

Marysville, Kan, Oct. 7.-Negotia-
lions have been started by local par
ties looking to the granting of an
electric light franchise in Marysville,
in connection with the present plant,
which is owned by DR.. William Bell,
a British subject.
L. H. Whan, representing the local
capitalists, and a big stockholder in
the new company, appeared before the
city council a few days ago and out
lined the proposition in which he
promised to furnish electricity to con-
sumers at cents per kilowat hour,
as against 5 cents charged by the
present company. He also promised
a minimum rate of rs cents a month
where the present company maintains
minimum rate of $1-25.
1t is the intention of the newly or
ganized company to bring current to
Marysville from the Blue Rapids plant
2 miles distant. The Blue Rapids
plant is run by water power, aug
mented by steam power when the
dam is out of commission, and the To-

Atchison Man Has Ancient Collection
Ono $50 Years Old.

Atchison, Kan, Oct. Matthias
Still, an old resident of this county,
has a collection of ancient books,
among them one work printed 352
years ago in Cologne, within forty
years of the time when books were
first printed from movable types. This
book is a New Testament and was
printed in 1861 by Johann Quentell.
Another book, a Bible, was printed
in 1907 by Annolum Quentel., de-
scendant of Johann. A third is the
Gospel of John the apostle, printed in
1887. The fourth is a history of the
Roman empire, printed in 1871 by
Zacharius Muenter, and was trans
lated into German from the Latin of
Titus Linus.
The books are heavy and cumber-
some, but each is well bound and in

them and they are illustrated with

Green Wheat and Rye Around Kinsley

kinsley, Kan, Oct. Wheat
fields are getting green and within ten
days there will be more pasture than
there is any demand for. In fact,
some fields of rye and wheat sown
purposely for pasture before the rains
are furnishing ample food right now
The ground was so warm that when
the rains came the seed terminated
quickly and the growth has been re-
markable. In fields sown last week
the wheat can be plainly seen in the
drill rows. In many places alfalfa will
soon be ready for cutting and the con-
excellent alfalfa pasture. The work
of putting in the fall crop has been
pushed to the limit and excellent
progress has been made. The rain of
the last of the week put a stop to it in
some places for few days but large
crop is certain to be sown and it will
be put in in good season. Everything
is coming fine for next year:

OIL LEASE NEAR PIEDMONT.
Cherryvale People Grab Everything in

Piedmont, Kan, Oct. Parties
from Cherryvale are here leasing all
of the available land west of Pied
mont for distance of about five miles
with a view of drilling for oil and gas.
Piedmont is in line with the eastern
Kansas oil and gas fields and it is be-

this section. This is on the eastern
slope of the Flint Hills on the Frisco.
Recently gas was accidentally encoun-

Flint Hills.
In 1902 representatives of oil and

ity, but very few catt1emen were in

Rock Island Highway Good

Marysville, Kan, Oct THE re-

the Rock Island highway from St Jo-

mere this week. Autom obilists from

that every inch of the roads between
the two towns had been thoroughly

the corn from it. Both animals are

Baptist Association Rev. I. J.
ANDERSON of Paintsville, KY, was
unanimously elected as missionary
for Muhlenberg County. Bro.
ANDERSON comes very highly recon-

State Board of Kentucky Baptists,

about four years regard him as one
of their strongest and most useful
men. He will give his whole time
to missionary work in Muhlenberg

potatoes for a greater yield has
become a recognized fact. Last
year in series of experiments
conducted in the State of New
York. six applications of bor-
deaux increased the crop 125 per
cent. In the experiment the
rows that were sprayed six
times increased in yield from
152 bushels an acre on the un-
sprayed check rows to yield of
1874 bushels an acre where
sprayed, a gain from spraying
of 1872 bushels an acre. The
States average yield of tomatoes
per acre is 70 bushels. and
where the best cultural methods
were used but unsprayed the
yield was 152 bushels, and
where the best methods of cul-
ture were used but supplemented
with six sprayings 1874 bushels
were harvested. Because of
the greater yield of potatoes per
acre. the six spraying yielded
goodly per cent on the money
invested for this purpose.

made up in several formulas,
