TERRIFIC DUST STORM

According to old timers in this
section, the dust storm, which ragged
almost all day Sunday, was the worst
In this country for several years. This
storm was quite general and did
much more damage through eastern

the immediate vicinity of Liberal.
The damage to property here was
v-ry light considering the destruction
ard death lists of other sections.

of the fence, which surrounds the

down, and only for the timely. as

BAPTIsT CHuRcH NoTEs

We have a feeling Of deep graft
tude for the exceptional privilege of
having the Chapel Car workers with
us for these past months. They have
indeed been an uplift TO the whole
town. We cannot estimate the spirit
ual blessing they have been to our
church, and along with these,
through their efforts the growth in
the numbers and attendance of our
church and Sunday school have been
more than doubled, also some much
needed material improvements have
been seeuredlas gifts from friends of
Brother and Sister Killian: bell,
individual communion service, heater
for the baptistry. and song books.
On last Sunday the church unani-
mously voted an expression OF graf =
tude to our publication society and
its Representatives here for their
efficient work at Liberal We also
see the way clear for larger work and
a vote for full time preaching was
given Brother hide will continue
in the mission work north and west
of Liberal and from now all of his
time viii be gwen there. For three
months he has given one-half of his
time here as pastor Of this church
and has faithfully wrought to help
bring about its present standing, and
in appreciation of his service the
church pays his regular salar,
through the month of April. Brother
and Sister Killian we're urged to re-
main with us until our pulpit can
be filed which win probably be a
month or six weeks and they have
consented to do so. Brother Kill
Ian will be acting pastor for some
weeks at least. The way is clear 70,

In an effort to find what common
ground exists between the Senator
and the new president, the two sat
down to a little "talkfest" few
evenings ago, and while it is not
known just what subjects were dis
cussed, it is safe to say that the re-
lations between the White House and
the senior badger senator are far bet
ter than they were in the olden days.
1t is even asserted that Senator La
Toilette may have a good deal to
say about the distribution of Wiscon-
sin patronage, even though Joe

of War, is supposed to be at the head
Of the middle west spoils department.

CASE OF FOURTH CLASS POST.

The speculation in reference to the
civil service status of the fourth

seems to have been brought down to
an understandable basis by a state
ment Of the Postmaster General, who
says that examinations will be held
throughout the country that will fur
nish true tests of the applicants
ability Many OF those who hold
positions as fourth class postmas-
ters,' said Mr. Burleson, secured

ton, run on scientific business lines,

NOTES FROM
WASHINGTON
DECREASE OF PRODUCTION IN
KANSAS

A warning note over the serious
decline in the yield of Kansas farm
lands was sounded here this week in
"a letter addressed to Senator Thomp-
son by Truman G. Palmer, well
known agricultural expert. Mr..
Palmer presents facts and figures to
show that the number Of bushels pro-
.duced from an acre Of Kansas land,
taking an average of the principal
crops for the whole state, has grown
steadily less for the past four dec
fades, and that the average Kansas
iacre today produces only about two
thirds as much as it did forty years
ago If present methods Of hand
ling farm lands are continued for a
few more decades, he says, the state
will be without farms or farmers.
The remedy for this decline in ag-
rlcultural output proposed by Mr.,
Palmer is the same that has been en-
ployed with wonderful success In
European countries during the past
half century, that is the cultivation OF
a hoed root crop one year in four in
rotation with cereals and other
staples. He points out that Kansas
is well adapted to the very best OF
such root crops, the sugar beet, as is
shown by the success with which it is
being grown in the state at the pres
ent time. There Is a general feel
ing in congress that one of the
most serious problems before the
country is the falling off in the sup
Fly of food stuffs and IL Senators
and representatives become CON
v need that sugar beet culture will
bring about an improvement in this
respect they are likely to hesitate
about reducing the tariff to point
that would destroy this industry.

old building now occupying the
northwest portion of block "a, at the
intersection of Kansas avenue and
Third street, will be removed and

feet long. The new structure will
be one story with two rooms, which
will be arranged and equipped to
handle the parcels post.
1t is the intention of the owners
to have the new building ready for
occupancy about the first of July
and the postofIice will be removed to
these quarters some time during that
month We are informed that the
government has leased the new build
ing for a period of ten years,

MURDOCH HIS PARTY'S CHOICE
FOR SPEAKER

Members OF the progressive party
in the lower house have let IL be
known that they will not travel n
the same class with the republicans
and they have agreed upon Rerre-
sentative Victor Murdoch for leader,
and he win be duly nominated and
receive the votes of his party for
speaker The republicans will name
James r. Mann of Illinois, while the
democrats will elect Champ Clark.
The lact that Mr.. MurdOck will 1e
named for speaker has great deal
of significance, and is more far
reaching than the comforting Cf u
mere nonor. Mr.. Murdoch is to be-
come one of the House leaders in
act, and II will become his duty 30
define the progressive position, and
to speak for his party, upon every
matter of legislat on as 1t comes W
In tine division of time for debates
the progressiyes are to be recognized
as minority party the same as the
republicans, and there will be three
distinct and official party organlza-
tions in the house, where there have
teen but two before. Senator Bris-
tow, at the other end Of the Capitol
is depended upon to cooperate with
the progressive policies, so that with
Senator Thompson holding down thu
democratic situation, and with the
help back Of Murdock, Bristow and
Thompson in their separate polItI-
cal camps, Kansas ought to be pretty
we'll in the swim.
