GRADED UNION HEARD
REPORTS OF CONVENTION

The Sunday School Workers Grad
ed Union meeting held In the Metho-
dist church last night was we'll at
tended. Rev. ]. w. DeYoe led the
devotional exercises. Mrs. Hobbs,
secretary, read the minutes of last
meeting. After a short business
session the president, Mrs. Harry
Taylor, conducted a state conven-
tion experience meeting. Mr.. Yen
ser, Mr.. Raymond Eshelman and a
visiting superintendent, Mr.. Bos-
land Of Peabody, gave enthusiastic
reports of the largest Sunday school
convention ever held in our state.
Two thousand four hundred dele
gates attended this meeting and Mr..
Yenser suggested It has become one
of the big things of Kansas. There
are only a few cities in the state
large enough to hold this conven-
tion. Another pleasing part OF the
reports was Of a parade Of fifteen
hundred men lead by q brass band
and mounted escorts which paraded
the streets Of wichita.
Dickinson county ranksnmong the
first In contributions--the two hun
dred dollar counties-which was
one great reason why Abilene ID
able to retain the state Sunday
school office.
There we're no collections taken
during the convention which shows
the good financial condition Of the
association. Those who heard these
reports telling of the talented men
and women who gave the addresses
felt that they had missed great
opportunity and are resolving next
year that our county shall try for
the banner attendance"

Several farmers OF Dickinson coun-
ty attended the cattle feeders
meeting at Manhattan last week and
brought home statistics with them
which brings Joy to all the cattle
feeders of the county. The day OF
the meeting was the last Of q 100
day test in the feeding of calves and
the experiments demonstrated the
fact that kafir silage was more val-
liable than corn. Kafir and cane
are grown in years when corn burns
up in drouth and the fact that It is
more valuable as feed than corn
will lead the farmers to plant It
more extensively.
The experiment showed these
things, briefly: That kafir silage and
cottonseed meal returned the larg-
est profit in calf feeding; that sweet
sorghum silage and cottonseed meal
were next in profit-making value,
and, finally, that kafir and sorghum,
which will live through most any
kind of year when corn and other
things wither and die, will makesex-
celIent silage for winter feeding.
Added to this is the fact that even
after the corn has failed, kafir and
sorphum' will still thrive nightly
and make good silage. 1t is, indeed,
the farmers feed insurance. In the

Topeka, May Ex-Governor Geo.
H. Hodges and the board of correc-

reformatory institutions of the state,
decided yesterday that each of the
institutions should grow its own
meats. w. L. Brown, member OF
the commission, is now in Kansas

tie for the penitentiary, and 200
goats to be used in helping clear off

From Kansas City Major Brown
will go to Wichita and buy 200 head
of stock cattle for the reformatory
at Hutchinson. At the prison and
at the reformatory there are large
cold storage plants, so that fat cat
tie can be slaughtered and kept at
each institution.
"The state now buys all of the
meat used in all the institutions"
said Governor Hodges. Meat is un-
usually high and as We have con-
siderable land at each institution
that can be used for pasturage, there
Is no reason why we cannot grow

COMMITTEE accepts proposition
OF Abilene Commercial club and the
headquarters are to remain in Abb

secure them"
This telegram received from r..
NJ. White today tells of the result
OF the fight put up by at least six
cities of the state to take the state
Sunday school headquarters away
from Abilene. For sixteen years or
during the time that ]. H. Engle
has been secretary of the state as
sociation, the offices have been To-
Gated here. At number of times
other places have made bids for the
organization headquarters but never
has as hard a fight been made as
that Just closed. For several weeks
the Wichita commercial organiza-
tions have been figuring on landing
the offices for that place. Later in
the race Hutchinson, Topeka, Sa-
lima, Kansas City and Lawrence
came forward with propositions and
for a time it looked like the state
headquarters would be moved.

cial club here instructed him to meet
the offers of the .other cities with
a proposition of furnishing rooms,

tion for the offices here. These of
fers had been made by the other
places, The result is-Abilene keeps
the offices. The worth of the COM
merciai club has been demonstrated
in its ability to put up the cold cash
to keep good thing. The state
office is one of the best advertise
ments Abilene has had for the last
sixteen years and will continue to
be of value to the city as the work
of the association grows. The con-
tribution to the state work made
by Dickinson county is the same as
that made by the four counties hav-
ing the largest cities in the state.
Mr.. Engle was reelected to the
state secretarysh1p and Mr.. White
was reelected state treasurer. These
offices give them places on the ex-
ecutive committee.

The entire number OF calves made

of the lots vary much from this fig

there are about 500 acres of pas

can be kept in good shape.
