passed.
Hereafter all patients who are parol-

the simple operation of svasectomy,

PERCHERoN MARES RIVAL MULE

mules reputation for taking prem
iums at worlds fair and paying Off
farm mortgages Is rivaled in the
story OF two Percheron mares which
played an important part In the ac-
emulation of more than 500 acres
of land for a thrifty German farmer
five miles west of here. Twenty
six years ago George Pretz was a
young man without any means. He
purchased 3-year-old Percheron
mare for $75, giving a one-year note
in payment. A short time later he
purchased another, 2-year-old, for
SIS. Both mares died recently, one
at the age of 26, the other 81.
Seven thousand dollars worth OF
colts were sold from the two Mares.
one of them being the mother OF
nineteen, which sold at from $3.50
to $3.50 each. The other "alsei
eighteen colts, which were sold at
from 500 to $3.50 each. Pretz was
in debt for forty acres soon after
he had purchased his team and Wa
gon and by hard work and the sale
of colts. soon paid for the land. The
next purchase was eighty acres ad-
joining which was paid in the same
manner.
Then came an adjoining 100 acres
and later 100 acres, until Pretz owns
more than 500 acres, worth Iore
than 800 per acre. The farm is
we'll stocked with Percherons and
mules, cattle and hogs and yields
good crops of corn and wheat.
Mr.. Pretz uses horses for farm
work only, using his automobile
when he comes to town.

dentally this is three straight PEN
nants for Wilson and Great Bend.
The Millers did not look like
champions at the beginning of the
season. They looked like second d.

look much better than Junction
City. 1t was Lyons, Clay Center
and Manhattan-beg pardon on the
latter-that looked like rag con-
tenders.
Manhattan was on top for several
weeks at the start of the season.
Lyons got there several times but
had to give way to the Clay Center
Pilgrims. The Pilgrims were at the
top of the heap when the shake-up
came and Manhattan and Junction
City dropped out Since that time
it has been a battle royal between
Clay Center, Lyons and Great Bend.

Governor Hodges pointed out that
Kansas had just harvested a fair
wheat crop and two cutting of al
falfa. and that prices were high and
the returns good from the crops
this year.

dftions confronting us BEFORE" said
the governor. 1--WE are better pre-
pared today to meet our present
condition than we ever have been
before. There is more wealth in
the state than ever before. In the
past we have had our series of
drouths, hot winds, grasshoppers,
chinch bugs and green bugs, and
the state has always come out OF
the conflict with the balance on the
right side of the ledger.
ION the whole the crops in Kan

much on the market as the same
crops did last year. The bank re-
ports for June show 20 million dol

for the same month in 1912.
