KANSAS iNSURES PIGS

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept 1.-The state
of Kansas is offering to sell a life
insurance policy on every pig in the
state. at from 25 cents to 50 cents
for each pig. Upon the payment OF
that much hard cash the state is prac-
tically willing to guarantee to the
farmers that he will get the market
price for the pig when it is old enough
to market, and the market price for
an ordinary pig at the present time
is from S12 to SIS, so the Kansas in
suranee premium payment is very
light, and in addition, it only has to
be paid once during the life of the
pig.
The state is building new hog
cholera serum plant at the agricultur-
al college which will be the largest
and most complete in the United
States.

the deal in total representing an out
lay of nearly $4,000 complet-
ed in Winchester late Thursday even
ing, Under the terms of which several
we'll known county growers have dis
posed of their crops for this year,
at prices which are regarded as very
advantageous
While three or four different trans
actions in the sale Of apples are rec
orded within the past few days, the
largest and most important deal was
that c,osed yesterday by Mr. r. A.
Beck representing the William Hart
man Produce Co, of ST Louis. Mo,
by which Mr. Beck takes over the
output of the orchards of Mr. E. V.
Weems, MIR. Melvin Green, Mr. S l..

es up, and for all apples from the or
chards of these growers that measure
from IL inches the William Hart
man Company will pay a price to be

of apples bought for these prices are
York Imperials and Ben Davis. The
Albemarle pippins, OF which there

This is The biggest price paid here

CLARK ON TARIFF
Speaks In Maine In Interest of Dem.
oeratic Candidate Argues
the Tariff.

SHoWEGHEAN. Ne, Sept L.
we cannot in a few months redeem
all the promises at baltimore. but
with Gods blessing. we win redeem
them all.
We believe our tariff bin viii re-
duce the cost Of living. more fairly
adjust the subjects of tariff taxation
and at the same time raise abundant
revenue for the government ecouomi.
cally and effectively
Second in Importance to the re.
vision of the tariff downward was the
promise of currency reform. We are
now in the first stages of redemption
of that promise
These are striking excerpts from
statements made here Saturday by
Speaker Champ Clark in behalf of
a Democrat candidate for Congress
to I'LL a vacancy in the Third district
The speaker devoted his entire time
to the tariff bill and Glass owen cur
reney measure.
He declared the works Of Republi-
cans for 16 years were not for the
best interests of our country and
should not be satisfactory to the
people.
"The people took us at our word
and thrust the Republicans into outer
darkness where there is weeping and
wailng and gnashing of teeth and a
great deal of profane language
Thinks 1t Good Bill.
Our tariff bill win in all human
probability be upon the statute books
before the middle of September In
my judgment t is a good tariff bill. 1t
is not precisely as ! would have writ
ten it if | had had carte blanche to
write a tariff bill All tariff is an
issue of compromise and of conces-
sion. Nobody can get everything
thar he wants in this world, We be-
TeTe that our tariff bill will reduce
the cost of living, more fairly adjust
the subject of tariff taxation and at
the same time raise an abundant rev.
enue for the government ecomically
and effectively | put in the word eff
fectively because no good American
desires to see the federal government
crippled in its legitimate functions.
The Income Tax,
"Our tariff bill would not realize
enough money TO pay the expenses of
the government were it not for the
income. tax. According to my way of
thinking. a properly graded income
tax Is the just and arrest tax ever
levied 1t is a monstrous proposition
10 say the wealth of the country
should not bear its just "~oportion of
the public burden.
u never think of the long fight
that has been made for tariff reduc
tion that do not recall the splendid
lines of Byron, viz: For time at last
sets all things even, and if we do but
watch the hour. there never yet was
human power that could evade, Il
unforgiven, the. patient search and
vigil long of him who treasures up a
wrong"
