Warden Coddlng Recommends the
Buying OF the Island.
NEWSPAPER MADE ACCUSATION
said Howe Was Behind scheme to
Sell Island 90 State for &25,-
OOO-OnIy Worth Half
That Amount.

The story in a Topeka paper last
week to the effect that Senator
Howe and Senator stillings are be-
hind a graft to swindle the state
out of about $4,000 in the pur-,
chase of an island in the Missouri
river near the state penitentiary
does not seem to be worrying Mr..
Howe. He says that the story Is
only ludicrous to him and points
out the fact that Warden Codding
is in favor of the purchase OF the
island. A story in a Topeka paper
last week said that Senators Howe
and stillings were pushing bill In
Itroduced by Senator Howe authoriz-
ing. the state to pay $25 per acre
for the island which had been sold
only a few days before at $1S per
acre.
az am not worrying much over
this story" Senator Howe stated
this afternoon. 1.-THE bill was In
ltroduced at the suggestion OF War
den Codding, who strongly urged
the committee to make such a rec
Iommendation as the state now owns
l16O acres and last year raised 5000
bushels of corn and enough cane to
make all the, sorghum used by the
lpenitentiary.
"The warden states also that the
river is beginning, to cut away the
north end of the island and num-
her of acres have been washed away
lin the last few years. Unless some
thing is done the state some day Will
lose all it has, claims the warden

POST OFFICE CLERKS
UNDER NEW HOUR LAW.
Order Goes Into Effect at the Post
Office To-day.

If you don't get your mail just
as quick as you think you ought to
after it reaches the local office you
may check 1t up to the new in 10
hour law which went into effect at
the postoffice today.
The law provides that all employ
ees of the service shall do their
eight hours work within ten hours
time. The obje.t of the ruling is to
give more uniform working hours
to the employees. For instance If
la clerk begins work at o'clock in
the morning distributing the early
mails he will not be compelled to
work after 4 o'clock in the after
noon. Uder the old rule a clerk
might work early in the morning,
have several hours off during the
day, and be called back to work
that night.
The distribution of some of the
mail is bound to be somewhat later
than usual under the new ruling.
Little difference will be made as
far as the first class mail is con-
cerned. Some mail will be distri-
buted later than usual because all
of the help will not be on hand when
the bulk of the mail reaches the
office. To provide for extra help
needed under the new law Chester
Hutchison has been added to the To-
cal postoffice force.

CORN NEED TO BIZ CULTIVATED
The following IL an interesting
report taken from the current Issue
OF Farm and Fireside which seems
to raise the question as to whether
extensive corn cultivation Is neces-
sary:
"A series OF over one hundred
practical tests have been carried on
during the past six years to deter
mine whether cultivation OF corn
during its period OF growth does In
crease the yield Of the crop. In each
test corn was grown with no cuiti-
walton or other stirring Of the SOIL
the weeds being killed by shaving
them off Just at the surface OF the
soil. \.
"Under exactly the same condi-
lions OF soil and fertility. corn was
grown for comparative tests. using
the present prevalent intensive cul-
tiyation. The result OF the six
years tests shows that the average
production OF both grain and fodder
are so nearly equal that all our fine
spun conclusions as to the value OF
generalization, except to kill the
weeks, seems to be evaporating. The
weeded corn, all tests averaged, pro-
duced 95 per cent as much fodder
and 80 per cent as much grain 81
the cultivated corn.
STATED differently, corn that
Welded so bushels of grain per acre
under cultivation produced bs.4
bushels per acre when no stirring OF
the soil was done after the seed
was planted and only slightly LEST
proportionately for the fodder yield
What will this mean to the corn
growing industry? Wait little and
see. In the meantime experiment II
a small way, and learn II your sol
and other conditions are exceptional
Keep in mind that weeds are th'
arch enemy Of good and profitable
corn crops, in fact Of all crops.

WHY WE HAVE EaGs ,AT EAsTER

washington, GLADDEN., writing OF
the history of Easter in the March
Woman's Home Companion, shows
how eggs have been connected With
Easter from the earliest days Dr.
Gladden's explanation Of the origin
OF the custom Of using eggs on Eas-
ter follows:
"ProbabIy the fact that the egg
holds, shut up in itself, the elements
Of future life--a life which may long
be dormant and then come forth
into vigor and beauty, into conscious
ness and activity-made 1t a, proper
symbol of the Resurrection. But Of
all the millions who have decorated
eggs at the Easter season or played
with them as pretty toy, or fec
upon them as a delicacy. very few
have ever, stopped to reflect upor
the profound meaning of the EN-
blem. In my own boyhood a break
fast OF eggs was one of the unwrit
| ten regulations of Easter Sunday
the main question with the boy
was the number per capita tina
could be consumed. Among us Their
was none of that dainty decoration
with dyes and pigments which ha
given SO much pleasure in old time
and new. This fashion. in the opin
ion of an old writer, arose anon
the christians from the joy occs
rioned by their returning to thei
favorite food, after so long an al
stinance from them during Lent
This is not impossible. for the eg
was formerly counted as flesh an
denied to good christians during tn
Lenton season.

led all the way from exemption Of

SUMMARY OF NEW GAME LAW.
AS 1t Passed the State Legislature
Recently.

Several sportsmen have asked for
summary of the provisions OF the
game law just passed by the house.
After striking out the provisions
that would allow doves to be shot
as game birds, the house passed the
new fish and game bill.
The main provisions of the new
law are:
One half of the amount received
from hunting licenses to be used ex-
clusively for propagating game the
state has asked the government to
give it the use of the 10000 acres
forest reserve in Finney county to
be used as a game preserve.
| The hunting seasons for different
game are not changed, but the num-
Der OF birds to be allowed to be
killed in one day was slightly In
creased.
Eight deputy game wardens in
place of one for each township. Each
warden to be paid salary instead
|of his pay being based on the num-
her Of game law violators he caught.
Quail cannot be shot any season
LOT the year. Prairie chickens would
lalso be protected from hunters.
4 Children nnder is years cannot
|go hunting with firearms unless &c
Icompanied By adults.
4 Came birds cannot be shot from
Emotor boats, motor cars or other
Il vehicles.
]. SEEMING for fish is permitted when
Is inch mesh seine is used. #
Il Like the old law 1t provides for
licenses for hunting, but it also
; makes necessary a license for fish
ling. Persons under is years OF age
: are permitted to fish without q
+ license. However no boy under ftf'
{ ten years of age is permitted to hum
! with a gun unless accompanied DJ
! an adult. Ten cents from each dol
] lar license goes to the county clerl
v issuing the license.
