MOTHERS FEATURES.
Kansan Spends Winter Earnings for
Likeness of Departed One.

Kansas City, April 29.-When James
Concannon boarded a train here last
night to return to his farm at Lenexa,
Kan he carried a, picture, painted
canvas on which his mothers features
beamed at him as before her DEATH
To young Concannon the portrait was
a treasure. Its possession was proof
of devotion most intense-a devotion
that caused the expenditure of his en-
tire winters earnings and of many
days of posing.
In August last year, Concannon's
mother, u years old, died on the farm
near Lenexa- The son grieved incon-
ssolably for the companion from whom
he had not been parted more than a
day in all his twenty-five years.
AS to a picture of her, he had only
an old photograph. His friends told
him his face resembled that of his
mother. And they told him of a man in
Kansas City who painted pictures from
photographs so true that one believed
them painted from life So one day
he came to Kansas City to investigate.
The artist told him the picture would
cost 1925 and a suitable frame s25 in
addition. Concannon gasped-$250 is a
fortune to some men.
He returned to his work. He labored
through the winter and two weeks ago
he had acquired the necessary $3.50.
That night he startled the classes in
the Fine Arts school by entering alb
ruptly and telling John Douglas Pat
rick. instructor, to commence at once
on the picture he had described.
The sittings started the next day
an eager faced young man and an
old photograph as the models.
Her face here, faded rose" the
man touched his cheek bones. Her
eyes blue, like mine. and her whole
face kindly and smiling
Then the artist began Occasionally

he inspired the work by the stories he
told of his mothers goodness and his
own love for her.
The picture was finished Saturday
night 1t was placed in a large gilt
frame, a life sized bust picture.

Larned, Kan, April 29.-Ground down
by what they allege to be a combina-
ton of eastern broom manufacturers,
$4,000 broomcorn growers of Kansas,
Colorado and Oklahoma are endeavor-
ing to organize a Broomcorn Growers
Cooperative association.
In 1910, and earlier, growers received
from 500 to $3.50 a ton for their brush,
and buyers were SO anxious for con-
tracts that money was advanced to de-
fray harvesting expenses
The crop was so profitable wheat and
corn men turned to it as their main
dependence.
Last year they raised the largest crop
in history, but prices have remained
steady at SIS to sos a ton, averaging,
they say, about $50 per ton, or SIS a
ton less than cost of production.
Several times since the last harvest,
growers have endeavored to combine
to raise a smaller crop this year, but
the memory of the profit. of previous
years has blocked organization. An eff
fort was made to get the last legisla-
ture to establish a broom factory at
the Hutchinson reformatory so the al
legged combine could be broken, but the
plan failed. Now the growers plan to
establish a broom factory in each
county and sell their crops in the fin
ished product.
The broomcorn sections of the three
states produce over half of the corn
raised in the United States and but lit
tie is imported. A careful investigation
of broom manufacturing in the east
has revealed that it costs II cents to
manufacture a broom.
A ton of standard brush will make
1 900 and a ton of dwarf 1900 brooms.
BY marketing the product at the stand
ard price of 25 cents, growers would,
under the cooperative plan, get $13O a
ton for standard brush and $156 a ton
for dwarf brush and be assured of
steady and permanent market
1t will cost but $500 a county to es-
+ahlish factories and employment will
be given to thousands of idle work.
