AUTO LINE To GAGE.
w. I'll. kemper Heads a Movement to
Meet Public Demand.

Everyone who has car he is willing
to lend for the good of the cause, and
incidentally to earn some money, is be-
ing urged to be on hand Sunday after
noon at o'clock between Kansas ave-
nue. and Jackson street on the south
side of Sixth street, to join in hauling
those who care to go to Gage park. w.
H. Kemper, election commissioner, has
started the move toward a gasoline line
to Gage park, and believes it is going
to prove successful. He is making an
effort to secure the cooperation of car
owners generally to make the line a
success.
Those who are working out the plans
are by no means organized into a COM
pany, but each one who comes in will
merely work with the others in hauling
the crowds. From experience of a
former occasion when a similar line
was put into effect, there will be no
dearth of people who want to make
the trip.
Kemper says he has seen all but one
of the city commissioners. and has Sc
cured permission for all who care to
lend their cars to haul passengers to
the park without the formality of TAX
ing out license from the city. For
the park haul only the commissioners
have assured Kemper that the license
fee will be waived by them Kemper
is anxious that anyone who has a car
he is willing to use should call him I'D
tomorrow at his office, telephone 1888. so
that he may get line on the number
who will be on hand.
A uniform fare of Is cents for adults
and 10 cents for children between the
ages of and 10 years, has been fixed
for the trip each way. Children under
will be taken without charge
In addition to a dozen or more cars
kemper is sure he will be able to Sc
cure, he expects that c. w. Horne will
equip big truck with seats that will
hold "A people and put it on the route
Every effort will be made to take care
of those who want to come or go from
the park.
If the initial days work is a success
next Sunday it is likely that the
gasoline line" will be made a perma-
pent institution during the summer
Il want to see every man who has
a car he is willing to be used. come
out and help US Sunday with the
crowds, Mr.. Kemper said. land if the
people want to see such line estab-
lished 1 want to see them out to take
the trip. On the success of the plan
next Sunday will depend the future of
the line. I believe the people will be
glad to patronize such a line I think
they ought to be given a chance to go
to the park

GINGER UP

AS the season approaches, other
towns in the surrounding country are
organizing ball teams and in fact,
some of them have begun practicing
in order to walk away with the pen
nant. should a league be organized
and one offered.
Liberal is possessed of some
mighty good timber for ball players
and we see no excuse for there not
being a winning team placed on the
diamond to compete for the cham
pionship of this section.
If some of the local fans will gin
ger up and get hustle on themselves
and organize a good team, Secretary
Quinlan of the Liberal Fair Associa-
ton, informs us that he will lay off
diamond in the local fair grounds
and put it in first class shape.
Why not organize a league with
some of the Oklahoma towns to the
south and Kansas towns on the north
and have a border league or some
thing of that nature. With guaran-
tee OF a good diamond and good
teams all around us, the lover of the
national sport would be assured of
an opportunity of witnessing some
fast ball tossing the coming season.

HOLDING THE
RIVERS IN LEASH

This newspaper has already re-
marked on how the prevailing floods
are caused or aggravated by the in
terference of man with Nature, 1t
remains to be asked what can be
done to control these titanic fore Ces?
1t is the testimony of people living
along the banks of almost any large
river, that the floods grow worse and
worse every year. Fields and roads
once secure from freshet invasion
are now gnawed away annually by
the teeth of the angry tide. These
are forces of ruin that must be har-
messed.
Most rivers take their rise among
hills and mountains. In the head
waters the slopes are more or less
precipitous, and the water runs off
quickly. This creates floods. In the
lower levels the land is more even,
and water runs off slowly, making
much less trouble. Control the head
waters with dams, and you have put
the rivers in leash.
The estimated cost of a series OF
dams to control the entire Ohio RIVER
has been $125,OOO,O00, Engineers
say that the power thus made avail
able will in due time sell for $50 per
horse power per year, and will pay
per cent interest ON S140,000,00O.
The clos ne of the food gates al
the first lreshet warning would not
merely create this enormous reser-
voir Of white coal, it would not
merely save millions of dollars worth
of property. but it would assure tine
navigation of many streams now
filled almost to their brlms with the
silt of the annual floods
Even reactlonary Russia seems 10
have more foresight in such matters
than progressive America. Flood
reservoirs IN the volga and Msta
valleys have made these rivers navi-
gable, have ayerted destroying 'or-
rents, and have caused decadent dis
trlcts to become prosperous. wny

WIND AND
PLANT GROWTH

We take from the Literary Digest
some comments upon the effect of
the wind upon plant growth, which
may interest our readers. The his
tory of eastern Kansas effectively
bears out this theory, and points the
way to handling western lands to ad-
vantage.
plants exposed to severe gales
bend away from the wind and the
pressure breaks and Injuries the
sprouts and roots on the side toward
the wind. Also, the drying effect
of the wind occasions serious damage
to the plant, as well as lasting dam
age to the soil in its physical and
chemical qualities.
The water loss OF exposed ground
at wind-velocity Of 33 feet per sec
ond has been shown to he three or
four times as great as on protected
land. Experiments have shown that
the gan in growth varied in the ra-
ito Of three, two, one with wind We
locities OF zero, five, and ten meters
eper second. The lowering of the
Temperature OF both plant and
ground also enters into the question,
and the degree of dampness of the
ground affects the result When
ground was damp, and the young
sprouts stiff and firmly bound, the
wind was comparatively harmless,
but moderate wind Of 10 to 25 feet
per second, may diminish the yield
of exposed land by something more
than half.
The remedy is found in artifi-
cial wind-breaks, such as walls,
hedges, etc, by means of which the
current of wind is directed into a
higher strata of the air, and broken"
This one factor of planting hedges
was the very greatest aid used to
develop the barren prairies of east
ern Kansas. 1t is a history which we
all know, and have read. No other
factor eliminated the hot winds and
drying condition OF that once treeless
region, and it thunders loud today
In the ears OF western farmers that
the quickest and surest way to make
Seward county land worth 500 an
acre, ISL general movement to plant
hedges and wind-breaks. Why should
our farmers be contented with a half
crop when they can as well have an
abundant crop? The remedy Is as
certain to produce excessively great
results as it has done for the people
of eastern and central Kansas. 1t
can be done, it should be done, and
il we ever make anything better than
big cattle yard of this fertile land,
it MUST be done. There is no alter
native, and it is folly to put it off
longer, dallying with a false hope
that condit ons may" improve,
Countries don't grow-people make
them.
