Lizard Alive In Throat.

The coughing of a live lizard
from his throat is curing Evan
Jones, of Lafayette, N. j., of a
cough that made his life miser-
able for nearly two years. Last
week he was seized by a violent
fit of coughing while on the road
and reached into his throat to
get relief. He caught some
wriggling thing by the tail and
pulled it out. 1t proved to be a
lizard nearly three inches long
and appeared to be as glad as
Jones to dissolve partnership.
Jones theory that he swalled
lizard egg while drinking from
a spring, that the grateful
warmth of his throat Matched
the egg and caused the wriggler
to grow. Its efforts to free it's.
elf are believed to have caused
Jones to cough almost con.
stantly.

How Prohibition Has Helped Kan.
SdS.

Some people argue that there
is no virtue in prohibition, but
census figures show that the
consumption of liquor in Kansas
is only 48 cents per capita, while
in the entire United States it is
between 500 and $24. Almost
one-third of the entire popula-
ton of Kansas is enrolled in
schools and colleges, and litter
acy has dropped from 40 per
cent to less than 2 per mt.
Eighty-seven of the los counties
have no insane, fifty-four have
no feebleminded and ninety-six
have no inebriates. Thirty-eight
poor farms have no inmates and
there is only one pauper to ev-
cry 5000 population. Over half
of the county jails have no pris-
oners and in a dozen others the
iron doors stand open nearly all
the year round. Grand juries
are almost unknown and crime
has been reduced to the mini
mum. This is what prohibition
has done for Kansas, and what
it would do for places that will
enforce it.

What Limestone Has Done in
Illinois.

DR.. Cyril G. Hopkins thus cpl
tomizes in the Country Gentle
man what the use of ground
limestone has done for half worn
out soils in Illinois. 1t is an in
teresting story.
Our experiment in Southern
Illinois have proved to US that
this is the order in which the
soil treatments should be carried
out: First, apply two to five
tons per acre of ground lime
stone. Second, grow clover or
cowpeas. Third, apply 1000 to
1000 pounds per acre of very
finely ground natural rock phos-
phatic to be plowed under with
the clover or cowpeas either d.
rectly or in the form of farm
manure. In Central and North
ern Illinois the same materials
are needed but there the lime
stone may take the third place
while it is of the first Importance
in this part of the state.
ION the Vienna Experiment
Field in Johnson county ten years
ago, about nine tons per acre of
ground limestone were applied
at a cost of S1.25 a ton. This
would amount to SLIPS and re-
turns from this investment have
thus far amounted to 90.3 BUSH
els of corn per acre. or 1922
bushels of weeat, or 3l-3 tons of
clover. Any one of these has
paid for the limestone three
times over. In addition two
thirds of the legume, crops have
been plowed under as green
manure and at the end of nine
years with no futher application
the lime land is producing five
bushels more per acre of wheat,
9.3 bushels more of corn and IA
tons more of clover hay per acre
than land not so treated. Our
country.

Office Seeking.

A man who seeks office at the
hands of his friends and neigbors
should never be criticized for
trying to crafty a laudable am
bition for office, says the May
field Messenger.
This is great government in
which the people rule and select
their rulers, and whenever a
man comes before them asking
for an office. it should be we'll
understood that he believes he
is honorable and capable of fill
ing the position which he seeks.
Frequently you hear people
harshly criticize this man or that
for asking to be elected to Office.
This is wrong. Let every man
run for office who feels that he
is qualified and is morally popu-
lar enough among the people to
fill that position.
The voters of this country
should study more about elect
ing people to Office than they
have ever done in the past.
Since we have general primary
election law we believe that the
people, both young and old will
pay more attention 70 the fitness
and qualifications of men who
are asking to fill public offices.
In days gone by, when nomi-
nees were selected by corrupt
and disgraceful conventions.
there was very little encourage
ment to the average voter to
carefully examine the candidates
and see for themselves who were
the best qualified to fill public
positions.
The day has come when every
voter begins to feel his power
and influence and his now be-
ginning to look into the life,
character and ability of each
candidate and sees if he is able
to transact the business of our
public offices. We believe that
these conditions will give to the
people of this county better and
more faithful officers, because
every voter in the county can
exercise his sentiments and pre-
ferences for the best men in
public places.-E. Town News.

Simple State Functions.

A Washington dispatch says
the President-elect would like to
walk to the Capitol Inauguration
day, if it were not that the
crowds of curiosity seekers
would prevent it.
And Gov. Sulzer, of the great
est State of the Union, wearing
his old grey suit with a plain
derby hat, walked to the Capitol
to take the oath of office.
Many people will call Cover
nor Suffers induction into office
tame and uninteresting, and will
feel that the greater the post,
the more impressive should be
the dignity that surrounds it,
AS far as wearing your old
clothes on such an occasion goes,
one would advise the new Presi-
dent-elect not to follow the New
York mans example. The choice
of clothes subtly registers the
Importance you place on any &C.
casion.
If you invite your friends to
your home for a party, and don
your working togs for that affair
they would logically assume that
you did not care whether you
pleased them or not. Gov. Sulzer
did not mean to convey that
idea, but his old clothes gave the
impression that he regarded the
assumption of one of the highest
offices in the United States as of
no more Importance than an ex-
cursion for the purpose of jolly
ing the voters at a cattle show.
But as respects frills, fur and
feathers, there is much to be
said in favor of simplicity. Let
the public servant convince the
public of his greatness, by the
unselfsh devotion with which he
fights for efficient government
and for the welfare of the
people.
Prancing horses and marching
hosts are a poor substitutes for
economy in using government
money and systematic efforts to
better the condition of the COM
mon man.
Then too, gilt lace and mater
ial display costs money that
someone has to pay. And that
someone is not the President
nor the Governor. The moment
you begin to throw money away
for some purpose not directly
necessary for efficient govern
ment, that moment you help
spread the impression that the
public treasury is on tap for all
corners.

has been committed to the past;
and the young year of 1913 has
been enrolled on the calendar.
The new period found me in
the school room, where my
daughter, Pearl, and l have
charge of SO pupils.
The going out of the old and
ringing in of the new, always
remind me of the poem dedicated
to the old year by the gifted
poet-journalist, Geo. D. Prentice.
Those familiar with his jour-
nalistic phillippics would hardly
have expected such sublime poet
ic creations as came from his
pen, for his was truly dual
nature. He, in very sublime
imagery, speaks of midnight's
holy hours as a time for memory
and tears. On the ushering in
of the New Year, l heard the
bells and steam whistles of Bas-
tic and Foust City heralding the
advent of another year, and l
felt that ''remorseless time,
fierce spirit of the glass and
scythe," could not be stayed in
his onward march nor his
iron heart be melted to pity.
My mind reverts to the words
of Prentice, and thropging men,
