SOME GOOD

Madison, Wis, Aug. 25.-A
new use for the despised Eng.
lish sparrow has been found by
I. H. Parks, of the Idaho Agri-
cultural college, and James G.
Sanders of the University of
Wisconsin.
These two scientists, working
together against pest known as
the alfalfa weevil, it has been
learned, haYe demonstrated that
the pest is not spread through
the seed of alfalfa as the weevil
feeds on the leaves and stem of
the plant, but not on the seed.
1t thus becomes a natural food
of the sparrow. The weevil is
foreign importation, but since
its importation has done great
damage and at one time threat
ened the whole industry in Utah,
ldahoSand southern Wyoming.
It caused great alarm among
growers of the middle west also.

A SOAKING
RAIN FELL
Monday Night The First In
Many Weeks

Meade county is numbered
amony the counties in western
Kansas favored with good
soaking RAIN, and every one is
truly thankful for it too.
Not in many weeks has there
been a rain of any consequence.
Feed crops and all other vegeta-
ton have suffered, to say moth
ing OF the unpleasantness of the
continued high temperature.
Sunday afternoon light show
er fell, with conditions very fav-
orable for more. Tuesday af-
ternoon another good shower
fell. Monday night good rain
fell amounting to almost an
inch. The fall was steady and
every drop soaked into the
ground.S
While the rain came too late
to be Of much benefit to this
years crop, it comes in good
time to put the ground in ex-
cellent condition for the fall

NARROW ESCAPE

A fire, in which Miss Leila
Davis was badly burned, occurr-
ed at the ]. W. Davis residence
Wednesday afternoon. Miss
Leila was washing a coat in gaso-
line which exploded, burning her
severely on the arms. The
cause of the fire is a mystery.
She was on the porch and had
the gasoline in tub. She had
finished washing the garment
and was in the act of wringing it
when it suddenly blazed up.
There was no fire anywhere near
so there is no accounting for the
fire. The house caught fire and
an alarm was turned in. Owing
10 confusion the call was report
ed from P. o. Davis and the
fire department made good run
down there. In the meantime
neighbors succeeded in extin-
gushing the blaze. Just how
badly Miss Davis is burned can
not be determined at this time
but it hoped it does not prove
serious.-Bucklin Banner,
Miss Davis was employed in
the city schools here two years
ago and is well known to our
people. A late report is to the
effect that she is out of danger. |

School Notes

The Meade County High
School offers more advantages to
the student than any otherschool
of similar size in the State of
Kansas. Before any young per-
son of Meade County leaves the
county for any academic, music,
or business work, let him be cer-
tain to consider his local oppor-
tunities.
The Meade County High
School has a fully accredited
College Preparatory course. She
also offers General Course with
Manual framing, Agriculture,
Music, Art and Domestic Science
The Normal Training course is
also well esta blished and should
be taken advantage of by every
coming teacher of the county.
Our business work is being
introduced for the first time but
it is in charge of experienced
teacher and a graduate of busi-
ness work. No young man nor
woman need leave Meade County
for business work.
In music, elocution and art,
few denominational Colleges or
state schools offer superior ad-
vantages. Besides the regular
music work of the school private
lessons in piano, voice, and band
instruments may be taken of
skilled teachers. School credit
will be given for all approved
private work. Opportunity for
chorus, band and orchestra work
will be given. The drawing and
art work, will be given by Miss
Maude Stockham, and we are
certain there are very few teach
ers are qualified to handle their
work any better. Miss Ruth
Falls is graduate elocutionist
and will take limited numb ber
of private pupils.
The Meade County high school
is fitted to supply the education-
al needs of her young people.
Let no one miss that opportunity.
High School enrolment will be
held at the school building Sat-
urday, Sept, 13, from 9 a. m. to
Z p. m.
Below is the list of books need.

put the purchase off to the last
moment.

TEST YOUR
SEED WHEAT
Poor Seed May Be Cause Of
Total Loss

Great Bend, Kans. Sept A.
Farmers in Central and West.
ern Kansas may stand a chance
OF losing S14 out of every SIS
worth OF seed wheat they put In
the ground this fall and in addi.
ton to that may lose all of next
years crop if the condition of
wheat discovered this week in
Otis by H. A. Brack is general
over the state.
lie noticed this spring during
the blooming time as the grain
was forming that something was
wrong with the bloom. This
fall he selected his best wheat
tor seed, wheat that tested sixtv
pounds and better, and this week
decided to see how much of It
would germinate. His first test
was a small one followed by a
more exhaustive one which
showed that only one seed out of
every fifteen would germinate.
Peter Brack, the Olmitz bank
er who owns more than one hun
dred quarter sections of West
ern Kansas land, brought the at
tention of the board of directors
of the First National Bank of
this city to the matter today and
they will take immediate steps
to test wheat from various parts
of the county.
Robert Hamilton of Claflin to-
morrow will send man to var
ious farms In his section of the.
county to get wheat for testing
and the Walnut Greek Mills will
start making tests tomorrow.
Farmers in every section here
are to be asked to make the test
Of their own wheat so that if
such condition be general, good
seed can be imported for the fall
sowing.
1t would be fat failure to use
wheat like that found at Otis,
armers say. The test is simple
md easily carried out.
Take piece of cloth, lay the
wheat upon it and throw cloth
'ver it, put it in the ground
bout one and one-half inches
Ieep and soak the ground we'll.
1t the end of three days it can
'e taken out and the wheat that
5 good will be sprouted.
While it may develop that this
ondltion was only local, such a
est may prove the saving of a
ew million dollars to the farm
RS OF this section of the state.
'armers have been asked to
lake test at once and make
eport to their local papers. i
he report of such tests will be
ublished and it will be known :
len whether the crop of this /
ear is fit for seed wheat or not. q
everal farmers started the
'sts today. e
