TO COMPEL GRAIN INSPECTION
Law to Be introduced at the Next
Legislature.

Topeka, July ga law making
grain inspection by the state COM
pulsory will be recommended at the
next session of the legislature by
George B. Ross of Sterling, newly
appointed state grain inspector. Mr..
Ross was at the state house Sat-
urday and discussed the grain in
spection problem briefly as he sees
It,
"As it is now" he explained, "the
board of trade at Kansas City col
lects some $4,000 a year in fees
for inspecting Kansas grain on Kan
sas soil. This money ought to be
turned into the state treasury and
/ think probably it will be after
the legislature meets. If had un-
derstood the situation as thorough
ly last winter as do now, GER
tainly would have recommended leg
islation along that line"
He also said that the Kansas City
force of seven deputy inspectors
would be cut down to four July 10
and probably one man would be
added to the Wichita office. What
other changes would be made he
declared he would not ready to say,
though he intimated there would
be several. The probabilities are
that he will move his headquarters
from Kansas City, Kan, to Topeka.

CRASSHOPPERS
Devastation in Ford and Surround

ARE FLYING BY THE MILLIONS
''HOpperdOzer'' and Poisoned Bran
Recommended by X. S. A. G.
Helpers Grow Wings
Very Rapidly.

Dodge City, July S.-After sus-
tanning a partial wheat failure the
farmers in Ford and surrounding
counties are threatened with the
destruction of their corn crop by
grasshoppers. The insects have be-
gun to fly by the thousands in the
last few days and are eating vorac-
iously. The not weather of the
last week has Matched them by mill
lions ana as the wheat is harvested
the hordes move to other green
fields. The street lights in Dodge
City are surrounded by the flying
insects and the sidewalks are COW
cred with their bodies.
The temperature base been above
ninety degrees here for several days,
on several afternoons going almost
to the 100 mark. The hoppers grow
their wings rapidly in such wealth
er, then rise in the air and drift
with the wind. There was COM
plant early in the spring that the
insects were bad, but just as the
critical time cold and wet weather
prevailed for two weeks and the
farmers thought the pests had been
killed. Now it is found they lodg-
ed in the drifts and weeds and many
of them survived. In addition the
deposits of eggs in the prairie land
which was not plowed are Matching
in countless numbers.
Farmers believe they will be help
less to stop the destruction of crops.
Entomologists from the agricultur-
al college recommend poison bran
spread around the fields and the
"hopperdozer" wide machine on
wheels with screens to catch the
insects as the machine is rolled over
field. But farmers say the poison
is useless since the hoppers have
taken to flying instead Of crawling,
and it is dangerous to chickens, tur-
keys and stock. The ''hopperdozer"
works all right until the insects get
strong enough to fly ahead of the
machine or over it.

MADE AT HOME
A SIGN AT GETTYSBURG.

July 1 1853, on Cemetery Ridge,
near Gettysburg. Pa, was posted
this sign: "All persons found using
firearms in these grounds will be
prosecuted with the utmost rigor
of the law"
For failure to enforce 1t you
must blame old John Burns, for he
was thu constable Of Gettysburg;
but the majesty Of the law was
himself blazing away with a bor-
rowed gun.
And, as accessory before the fact,
you must indict the man who had
the shoe store; for he, and not
Hooker, Meade. or Lee, brought on
the battle of Gettysburg. A de-
tachment Of men in blue with holes
in their shoes came into town to
clean out the store, and at the same
time came a detachment I'm gray
with no shoes at all; and then the
village ordinance against the pro-
miscuous use of firearms began to
90 to pieces.-American Magazine.

THE EDrTOR's FRIEND.

|. He was a plain plug mantle
average citizen who lives the aver
age life and thinks the average
thoughts, and he stopped the aver
age editor on the average street of
the average town and told him some
thing to write about-the average
thing. Wherefore the average edi-
tor rose up and called the average
man and all his tribe blessed.
For the average editor is sick and
tired of writing the average editor
ial about the average run OF poll
tics. Also the average reader is
sick and tired of reading the same.
The average newspaper looks like
every other average newspaper.
There seems to be big worldwide
everlasting conspiracy to make the
average newspaper look exactly as
1t looked last week, last month and
last year. There is an eternal same
ness about the average newspaper
which makes the average reader
look 1t over and throw it into the
basket with loud crash.
But the average man every day
has something in his head which
will interest the world. If he would
only hunt up the average editor and
tell him about it--tell him to write
little editorial about 1t! What the
average newspaper needs is an idea
once or twice q week And the
average man has 1t. Moreover the
idea is not bred in the newspaper
environment. 1t is out Of the
thought tank of average humanity,
and he is the average editors friend,
and the average readers very pres
emit help, who stops the editor on
the street, and injects into his men,
tai arrangements one good fresh
mans idea of this universe.--Em-

can do to restrain themselves when
they get letter dated Wash, D..

addressed to "Bos, Mass" al

does not offend so much. Nobody
but a human sloth would think of
writing on his envelope Chic, Ill"
or "Buffo, N. Y" Yet the practice
of unauthorized contraction has
grown to such an extent that 1t is
high time that business houses lay
down the law, as found in the back
part of nearly any dictionary, against
the practice. And II you followed
