Mrs. Genevieve Rowland Chawkley,
state president of Kansas Good Citi-
zenship League formerly the Kansas
Equal Suffrage Association,) said re-
Gently in regard to the work of the
League and Of its Program and
Legislative committees.
1T is a very humble work that we
are doing. We do not want to be
governors, or attorney generals, or
chief justices; we merely want to
help In the making Of the chief ex-
ecutives. We are studying up the
questions that have to be settled by
means OF the ballot. We are trying
to be the power for good, to play
the part that men from time imme-
mortal have decreed for u.s.
The principal work OF the league
this summer is being done by the
Program Committee. Programs for
the study of public questions have
been prepared under The direction of
the committee for the use of indivi-
duals and clubs. The following pro-
grams are now ready for distribution.

How to Get Wheat Free

The following report and order
of the State Public Utilities COM
mission, made in Topeka Wednes-
day shows the manner in which
the railroads have been clothed
with authority to haul seed wheat
free to western Kansas counties:
At conference held between
Henderson S. Martin. chairman
of public utilities commission, A.
A. Lupfer, G. W. Lawrence, and
H. Row, of Pawnee county, Kan
sas, and the general freight agents
of the railroads of Kansas, the
conditions confronting the farmers
of certain western Kansas count.
les were considered and plans dis
cussd for securing seed wheat for
these farmers.
After a full discussion of the
matter, it was agreed that the
railroads would transport from
points within the state of Kansas,
to points within the state of Kan
sas, carload shipments of seed
wheat, consigned to the chairman
of county commissioners, in said
counties, free of charge.
1t was further agreed that the
said county commissioners would
take certificates from each farmer
to whom seed wheat is delivered
showing the number of acres of
ground prepared for seed wheat,
and reciting that the farmer re-
ceiying the seed wheat is not in
position to pay freight charges
on the same. such certificate to be
printed and furnished by the state
of Kansas and distributed by the
public utilities commission and
the railroads. These certificates
are to be turned over to the agents
of the carriers, and to be at
tached to the freigt bills, as evi.
dence of delivery of said seed
wheat for the purpose for which
it was intended.
1t as therefore ordered that per-
mission be, and the same is
hereby granted to each and every
railroad company operating in
Kansas, to carry into effect the
provisions of the foregoing agree
ment, and to transport seed wheat

Raised Good Wheat Here

The letter printed below was
written to G. w. Light, of this
city, from the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college at Manhattan and
refers to wheat Mr.. Light raised
last year. 1t will convince the
most skeptical that wheat raised
here does and can compare favor
ably with other wheat raising Sec
tons. This is one of the things
that makes Mr.. Light determined
to make more heads grow where
only one grew before.
Manhattan, Kans., Aug. 1, 1918.
Mr.. G. w. Light,
Liberal, Kansas.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of July 26th, to-
gether with sample of wheat has
has been referred to this depart.
ment for reply. | would consider
the sample which you forwarded
as very good wheat even for seed
purposes. There are compare
lively few damaged kernels and a
good seed grader or tanning mill
might improve the quality some
what. The sample as forwarded
is almost good enough TO grade a
No. 1 hard winter and with a few
of the damaged kernels eliminated
it would undoubtedly grade No. l
hard winter on the commercial
market. 1t would not grade a
No. /, dark, hard winter because
of some yellow berry" kernels,
but the yellow berry kernels do
not injure it at all for seed pur-
poses. as this type of kernel is
caused by climatic and soil condi-
tions and not by the original seed.
l have picked over small por-
ton of the sample and am sending
a sample which | believe will
grade No. l, hard winter on the
commercial market. We have on
hand no such sample from the
regular market.
Very truly yours,
l.. A. FITz.

Says that Sonora
Should be Ours

Chicago, Sept. 25-The hope that 4
large tract Of Northern Mexico may
some day become the property Of the
United States was expressed before
the members of the American Meat
Packers Association and the third Re
frigeration Congress. 1t was pointed
out to the two organizations which
held a joint meeting at the Hotel La
Sale, that the tract in question con-
tains the best undeveloped cattle
breeding ground in the world
The high cost of beef and the
"gaunt specter Of beef famine" nov
confronting this country, would be
averted if the United States acquired
the tract, it was stated.
Other subjects bearing on the rea-
sons for the beef shortage, which
were discussed by the packers and
refrigeration men, were wastefulness
Of Americans, both in the house and
in the packing-house, incompetency,
ignorance Of government officials and
inefficient railroad transportation.
Northern Mexico and its possibili-
ties, a cattle breeding ground under
American ownership, was brought
before the packers by James E. Poole,
editor of the Live Stock World. His
topic was "The Future Meat Supply
of North America"
when will meat be cheap again?
is the popular clamor," said Mr..
Poole. "The puzzle is not calculated
to tax the ingenuity of a Philadel-
phia lawyer. Meat never will be
cheap again in the sense that it has
been inexpensive"
Theorists have exploited the illu-
sion that somewhere on the distant
horizon-South American, Australia,
Africa or Siberia-an avalanche Of
beef and mutton is awaiting the free
trade era, but their day of discredit
is not far distant. From whence,
then, must the future supply of meat
come?
"The only logical source is domes-
tic production, supplemented by that
of Mexico and Canada. Mexico con
tains the best undeveloped cattle
breeding ground in the world. Much
Of its area is naturally pastoral"

able. He is too costly to buy and to
keep. l
His price has increased 143 per
cent in the last ten years The cost
Of his feed, his harness, his barns,
his hostlers, has increased. Nothing
that concerns the horse has remained
the same, except the power. He is
not one pound stronger today than
he was thirty years ago, in the days
Of his cheapness.
"Our annual horse cost has grown
until it is now equal to our railroad
cost. Our 25,OOC,OOO horses and
mules consumed food last year to the
value Of S2,000,0O0,000, or as much
as the total operating cost Of all the
100000 miles of railroad in the
United States.
"As Edison has said, "A horse is the
poorest motor ever built He eats ten
pounds Of hay for every hour he
works. He eats 10000 pounds of food
year. He eats the whole output of
five acres. And yet his thermal ef-
ficiency is only per cent.
"If a horse were made of steel like
gas engine, he would not need to
be larger than a waste basket or
soap hox. Being hay motcr and hay
being an exceedingly wasteful fuel.
ne had to be enormously large in pro-
portion to his power. This fact about
the horse, that he burns hay for fuel,
makes him enormously expensive.
This being the case, there can be
only one end to the whole matter The
laws of business are inevitable as the
laws of nature. Business swings to.
ward the lowest cost, as inevitably as
the waters fall over the cliff of Mag
ara. No matter what our theories
may be, and no matter what our
wishes may be, the horse is going out
and the engine is coming in, because
the engine is more fit to survive"
