The Ellis POland.C hinas.

The Green Lawn Poland Chinas
owned by Jas. T. Ellis of Adrian,
Mo-, successor to A. j. Erhart, are
looking fine and on September 5, the
day before j. C. Stalter's sale, MIR.
Ellis will sell a fine lot of so head.
The reputation of this herd was not
developed in one year. It is the old
missouri Herd" that every breeder
in America was familiar with. Later
Mr.. Erhart not only broke records in
the sale ring with this valuable herd,
but he took part of it out to the grand
circuit and was awarded number of
the greatest prizes on the entire cir
cult. Mr.. Ellis bought this herd and
Green Lawn Farm for $54, 600. While
this is the first pure bred herd Mr..
Ellis ever owned, we are proud to
say that in his commercial life he was
a success and made all kinds of mon
ey. Afterwards he went into the
cattle business in western Kansas and
Texas where he controlled large
herds. His son, John Ellis, gr1ctu-
ate of the Columbus college, is now
general manager, and we will expect
this old herd to grow larger and, if
possible, better every year. Since
Mr.. Ellis took hold of this business
last January he has sold lots Of stock
in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kan
sas and Missouri, but they still have
200 head on the farm and are breed
ing 60 sows. He will hold his first
sale September and the brood SOW

POOR GIRLS PURE
Rabbi KrauskOpf Says Finery
Acquires immortality.
Poorest Countries Noted for
Purity Among Women.

Philadelphia, April 15.-Widely diff
ferent views regarding the relations of
low wages to vice were expressed here
yesterday by prominent speakers. Dean
Walter T. Sumner, of the Cathedral of
st. Peter and Paul, Chicago, in an adj
dress to students of the University of
Pennsylvania, declared that low wages
drive many girls into shame.
''It is no wonder he said, chat an
underpaid girl falls into evil which will
enable her to live. Everywhere the
working girl is met by the male pro-
curer. Huddled among coarse and vul-
gar male companions, lonely, underfed
and hungry for companionship and
amusement after hard toll, she falls a
prey to these men,
Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf in an adj
dress to his congregation said:
Careful inquiry discloses that it is
not the hard working, litt1e-paid won-

bad, but, for the most part, it is the

ceiver of the Wichita-Denver Air Line
Railroad Co, by Judge Foulks, in

become insolvent and had abandoned
the work for nearly eighteen months;
that the grade was being washed away

FIND LOST HERO
Located at Work in Mines in
West Virginia.
Thomas j. Gibbons Awarded
Carnegie Medal and $1,000.

Mulberry. Kan, April 15-Thomas J.
Gibbons, Mulberrys missing hero, who
was awarded 81, 900 and a bronze medal
by the Carnegie Hero Commission, has
been found. He is working in a mine
at Boomer, West Va. Gibbons present
address was learned through a letter
written by him to Mrs. Mary Filings
of East Mulberry.
If it takes a hero to be hero. Glib
bons fills the part, for he has informed
Mrs. Filings that he will give the 81 200
he receives to his mother, who is a
widow. He is planning shortly to re-
turn to Mulberry to go to work and
to make a home here for his mother
and himself.
Mr.. Gibbons wasn't such a myster-
ious person. said Mrs. Filings He
worried a great deal for he wanted to
make a home for his mother but didn't
have the means. He has met with sew
eral misfortunes and altogether he
seems to have had a hard row to hoe.
He boarded at my home ten weeks-all
the time he worked in the mines here
but he grew dissatisfied and decided
10 go to another field. He was very
well liked by all who knew him. He
read me a letter he had received from
the Carnegie commission informing
him of the reward. The letter re-
ceived a few days ago was with re-
gard to the medal and draft which was
sent to him here
Gibbons won distinction by risking
his life to save the lives of two COM
panions in a mine disaster in Colo
RADIO coal mine in 1911. He suddenly
left Mulberry several weeks ago, hav-
ing decided to go to some eastern coil
district. The letter to Mrs Filings was
the first word that has been received
from him. The 81 900 draft sent to
one of the banks to be given to him,
was returned to the Carnegie COM
mission. The bronze medal is still at
the office of the express company and
1t will be delivered to him on his re-
turn
Gibbons is 80 years old. He formerly
worked in mine No. 4 of the Mayer
Coal Company.

ASKS LENIENCY.

to Napoleon Bonaparte.

to Napoleon Bonaparte.
Leavenworth, April 15.-There is
confined in the post guard house a
real soldier of fortune. He is Private
Henry Bode, Company A, First Bat
talon of Engineers, who was brought
to the post in February from Fort
Omaha, Neb., for trial for desertion.
Bode claims to be a nephew of the
and according to papers in his pos
session his claim seems to be correct.
Although born in Los Angeles,
Calf, Bode speaks German, French
and Spanish. He served honorably in
the United States army from 1898 I'M
til June 10, 1912, when he desired to
enter into the conflict in Mexico then
at its height. Bode left his company
at Washington Barracks, D. c., and
wendell his way to Mexico where he
allied himself with the rebels in
Northern Mexico. He soon was pro-
NOTED to lieutenant-colonel, which
rank he held until February of this
year when he returned to the United
States After visiting relatives in Los
Angeles, Calf, he went to Fort Oma-
ha, Neb., and there surrendered him
self as deserter.
Bode, in his trial recently, gave his
life history to the court and begged
for clemency on the grounds that he
fully intended to return to the United
States service after he had had a
taste of the revolution in Mexico. His
sentence has not been received back
and it will not be known for several
days what the court decided in his
case.

DEDICATE HIGH SCHOOL.
Wakeeney Opens New Building fol
Inspection.


Inspection.
Wakeeney, Kans., April 15.-F'rom
every section of Trego county men,
women and children drove to Wa
keeney Wednesday to attend the dedi-
cation Of the new Trego county high
school building and to listen to the
principal speech of the day by Cover
nor George H. Hodges. Schools were
dismissed in all parts of the county
and the dedication of the new school
building was made a holiday by the
citizens of the town and county.
Early Wednesday morning farmers
began coming to Wakeeney in auto
mobiles, wagons and buggies- From
many of the school districts the chill
dren came in a body, chaperoned by
their teachers. Long before the noon
hour the streets were crowded with
vehicles and it is estimated that not
to attend the ceremonies.
At noon a big old fashioned barbe-
cue was held. 1t was a part of the
days program and hundreds of peo-
pie attended the barbecue, which was
the first to be held in this county for
several years.
Following a musical program by the
band, school students and others, the
governor spoke for an hour. In his
speech Governor Hodges dealt prin-
cipally with educational work in Kan
sas. He reviewed with pride the work
of the 1913 legislature in its enact
ment of better school laws.

NEW ELEVATOR.
Farmers Union VIII Build Modern
Structure at PIainviIIe.


Structure at Plainvi1Ie.
Plainville, April 15.-The members
of the Farmers Union have under
taken the erection of a modern ele-
vator of ample capacity that will go
a long ways toward solving the wheat
market problem at PlainvilIe.
The contract has been let for a
modern grain elevator to the building
firm of r. M. VanNeSS Construction
company of Lincoln and Fairbury,
Nebr. The main structure will be Sax
SO feet on the ground and 1873 above
the foundation with % foot pits for
dumps. The capacity will be $4,000
bushels. 1t will be equipped with a 25
horse power oil engine, cleaner, feed
mill, car puller, car shovel and a man
lift at the top of the elevator. There
will be a ware house 1SX40 and a
detached office.
This will be the first time in the
history of Plainville that the farmers
of this vicinity have been in posi-
ton to handle their own grain crops
with any degree of assurance that a
days business would not cramp them
for storage capacity. In the building
of this elevator it would seem they
are going at the right thing in the
right way. With a $4,000 busheI ca
pacity and proper management there
is no reason why the wheat growers
of this vicinity should not be able to
market their product to the best pos
sible advantage.
