INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.
Eff you take a sword and dror It


An go stick a feier thru
Comment amt to answer for 1t:
God'll send the bill to you.
In modern days there is much talk Of
''grOup sins"
One author illustrates the term in
this way: The farmer gets small
price for his apples. only little more
than enough to pay for the picking,
the barrels and the shipping.
Yet in the nearby city his apples
bring high prices. in some cases cents
each.
The margin between the farmers
price and the price to the consumer Is
enormous.
In this jumping up Of prices some
one has sinned against society. But
who? 1t is hard TO put your finger on
any one individual who is responsible.
The author calls this Il "grOup sin"
This must be comfortable doctrine
to sinners.
Let us see if it holds water.
II any crime is committed some one
person commits it. Others may he
contributory. but If so each Of them is
equally guilty. The individual is the
wrongdocr.
In the marketing Of the apple some
one is grossly overcharging. Several
may be doing so. in fact. but II 50
each of them is responsible.
Even though we cannot point them
out the fact remains.
Officers OF the law are often unable
to find the criminal. but that does not
lessen his responsibility for the crime.
"Guilt is personal
"God'll send the bill to you"
We cannot hide behind any group
or government or corporation or class.
The individual is the unit.
Where wrong is done some person
does it.
Whatever the acknowledgements noes
surrounding him. it was matter OF
free choice whether he did 1t or not.
On him rests the burden OF guilt
'Thou art the man."
Plausible sophistry. vague and gilt
tering generalities, furnish no escape.
We must learn the lesson Of indjvld
! ual responsibility.

SANTA FE REPORT
Railroads Crop Averages
Higher Than COburn's.
Promise Heavy Potato Yield in
Raw Valley.

The weekly crop bulletins received
by the freight department of the Atch-
ison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway
company from all points on the line
in Kansas Colorado, Oklahoma and
New Mexico are most encouraging.
The Kansas bulletins tell about the
condition of wheat after the oaking
rain which followed the issuance of
Secretary Coburn's favorable report a
few days ago. Mr.. Coburn found wheat
to be in fine shape, with moisture
needed in several localities. The Santa
Fe reports are that the moisture inn
proved the condition materially. Mr..
Coburn'S careful returns indicate a
possible yield of 124,00O,00O bushels.
There are conservative wheat growers
in Santa F'e territory who place the
estimate at even a higher figure, since
the recent rains.
The Santa Fe had a special agent
out all last week investigating crop
conditions in Kansas Here are few
paragraphs from the report:
81 talked with 1877 farmers in 81
Kansas counties. Eighty-five of these
farmers said the wheat condition is
better than they have ever before
known it to be. All said the condition
is better than it was year ago. I saw
thu 'lsands of wheat fields from the
number carefully. I did not see
poor field except in an occasional 10
cafity where the land was poor. The
assessors returns doubtless will show
an increased acreage of alfalfa in
Kansas, and the condition is good.
There also will be an increased corn
acreage. Corn planting is about fin
lshed in Southern Kansas. Early corn
is coming up. Planting is in progress
in northern Kansas The oats crop is
very promising. The sugar beet acre
age is greatly increased. Beets now
are grown as far east as Lyon county.
There will be an increased acreage of
potatoes in the Kaw valley, where the
prospects for a heavy WELD are bright

Breakfast Food for Brains Is New

Boston, April 2S.-The Harvard
Dining association, which operates

college students, surprised the diners
last week by serving breakfast foods
for dessert at the monday and twi-
light meals. The cereals are being
served to build up the brains of the
Harvard men to a higher degree of
efficiency.
The presence of breakfast foods on
the menus has sounded the curfew
for pie, cake, pudding, cream puffs

the students order thier favorite
cereals to the exclusion of the old
fourth course StandbyS.
Now one meal can hardly be distin-

noon and night oatmeal cornflakeS,

forms are served. The students be-
lieVe that the arrangement is more
beneficial to them than the old, and
pie and the other favorite desserts
have been almost abandoned.

SHORT TEACHERS
Demand for Vocational InStruc-
tors Greater Than Supply.
Professor HOItOn of X. s. A. C..
Receives 200 Calls.

Manhattan, Kan, April 2S--More
| tional subjects have been received
since January 1 by Edwin l.. Holton,
director of the summer school at the
Kansas Agricultural college. These
calls are for teachers of agriculture,
domestic science. manual training, the
sciences and mathematics. Professor
Holton. conducts an employment bu-
reau for teachers. He has been unable
to supply the demand although the
salaries offered range from $500 to
$4,000 a year. The increasing popu-
larity of vocational subjects in high
schools of the state has been respon-
sible for the constant demand for
teachers of these subjects.
To supply this demand the agricul-
tural college started summer school
two years ago for teachers. Instruct
the agricultural college during their
vacations and fit themselves to teach
vocational subjects, thus increasing
their salaries fifty to one hundred per
cent. The school became so popular
that the attendance more than doub-
led last year. Judging from the cor
respondence Professor Holton has
had, the attendance this year will be
even greater. Six courses in agricul-
ture, three in home economies, five in
shop work, and twelve in the arts and
sciences offered. The school
opens June 10 and closes July 81.

Dodge City Faces Serious Question in
Providing Room.

Dodge City. Kan. April 2S.-Among
the serious questions confronting this
city is that of providing for the rapid
growth of the city schools. During the
past year the enrolment in the
grades has increased 25 per cent and
in the high school more than so per
II. Clement, superintendent. has rec
commended the adoption of the six
anl-six'' method of division of classes,
whereby the seventh and eighth grades
comprise a Junior high school and are
housed under one roof with the pres
ent high school. Chanute has just
adopted this plan.
n bond issue of $4,000 for a new
high school building was recently
voted here but later discovered illegal
on technical grounds. The board will
call another election soon and make
the issue large enough to erect a build
ing to house both junior and senior
hiSh schools if Professor Clements
suggestion is adopted.
