A. NJ. Sipes, Of Great Bend, came
down to the old home place twelve
miles north of Hudson, Sunday, and
with about forty-eight members of the
immediate family, held a family re-
union. Mr.. Sipes is an old settler who
lived in Stafford county for several
years on the old place and at one
time was register of deeds. Talking
to Ed French Monday, he told us
that there were. more than fortyeight
in the family but that not all of them
could be present owing to different
circumstances. He also tells us there
hasn't been death in the family de-
scendants Of Mr.. Sipes. This is a
pretty good record and it is hoped
that they may be able to have many
more family gatherings under the
same circumstances. stafford Coun-

an spite of this contrast the aca-
demic high school Of today is largely
the old school. 1t is time for it to
wake up to its new problems. The
boy whose ambition brought him to
the old school needed its vigorous
book training. The difficulties of Latin
and Greek set him a mental task com
mensurate with the physical trials he
had overcome from tender years. If
he proved able to cope with only phys
ical difficulties he went back to the
farm; so Latin and Greek performed
excellent service as a fine-meshed
sieve. If he found Joy in mental
achievement, as he had in the rough
bodily struggle of the countryside, be
went on to intellectual mastery, grow
ing stronger with every victory. II
was the problem Of the old-time learn.
Ing to make him a leader.
The immature boy emerging from
the eighth grade in the grammar
school today goes to the high school
generally because his friends 20 there
and because he has nothing better to
do. He has no definite purpose, little
ambition, no sense of personal respon-
sibilities, no resourcefulness. His life
has been one long response to a thou
sand appeals to his desire for novelty
and amusement. 1t is the problem of
the new school to make him the best
citizen possible"

MONEY IN DAIRY.
Farmers Are Making Profits on But
terfat.

The farmer with a silo and a
dairy herd is demonstrating in this
section of the state where a good but
terfat market is handy, that wheat,
corn and other crops make poor re-
turns compared with the dairy busi-
ness. One farmer, Mr.. Seacamp, of
Mulvane, has in the last year sold
81, 400 worth of milk to the condens-
airy there, from a dairy herd and his
feed for the cows came from II and
one-half acres of ground. All the feed
bought for these COWS was 81 worth.
The seventeen and one-half acres
brought him an income of $50 an
acre. If the balance of his quarter
had been used in like manner he
would have had an income for the
year of $4,000. The COW as a money
maker and the dairy to produce a
steady income are being forced more
and more to the attention of the
farmers these days. Chas. A. Tundt,
living two miles north of st. John,
for the last year has kept a record
Of the butter sold from his cows and
from May 19, 1912, to May 1S, 1913,
sold $500 worth and $50 worth of
milk. A part of the time he had on.
ly six COWS and a part of the time
ten. Besides furnishing milk for that
amount of money ten calves were
raised and there was plenty of skim
med milk for the calves and some Il
or 20 head Of hogs and all the milk
and butter the family wanted fol
home use. The COWS were of the
common kind and were allowed tC
run in the pasture and were fed on
alfalfa, kaffir corn and prairie hay
during the winter months, with Occa
sional access to wheat pasture. Tund
received nearly ten dollars PEI
month from each COW. The profit
could have been much larger through
silage feeding.

Charley Bacon and his father-ln-
law, Mr.. Wooley, were in the city
last Saturday morning on their way
to their home in Ellinwood after a
business trip and visit up at Bacon's
ranch in Ness county. Charley says
that the wheat prospects up that way
are anything but flattering, in fact
he says there is mighty little wheat
that will make an average crop be-
tween Great Bend and Ness City.
He had out 300 acres on his farm,
and of that amount only about forty
acres will be harvested. The corn is
looking fine, Charley said, and the
fishing on the creek which runs
through his place was good, so he
had a good time on the trip despite
the looks Of the wheat crop.

Curinu Wood.

Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick Of wood in a lumber yard may be
sick and infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting great weights in
a new building. Some of the diseases
are SO contagious that in a building
they will jump several feet across ma
sorry or brick to some stick of healthy
wood. Cures were recently discussed
by the American Society Of Mechani-
cal Engineers.
Most of the diseases are varieties
Of dry rot caused by fungus, and
most of the varieties of the dry-rot
fungi cannot stand heat much over
100 degrees; SO the most likely cure
is to close a building up tight, if any
beams are infected. and heat it UP to
1870 or 40 degrees. Even this is not
always successful, for ends Of beams
are buried in the outer brick walls
and the heat may &C. reacL them.
