Leslies Weekly.
When water pipes began to freeze,
And folks predict snow,
l think about the buckWheat cakes
OF winters long ago.
Dle flannel chest-protectors that
i used to put away
With running black molasses spread
At breakfast every day.
An inch or more in thickness, raised
From batter left to sour,
They blanketed my liver down
With half-digested -four.
1 oft regret her gingerbread
And sugar cookies sweet,
But not the soggy buckwheat cakes
My mother made me eat.
Now, smoking to the table comes
A brown delicious pile.
OF dainty morsels that would make
The worst dyspeptic smile;
Well-buttered, and adoat upon
a golden syrup lake,
20. I'D they are the buckwheat cakes
My wife has learned to make.

Some newspaper editors appear to
get a good deal of pleasure from call
ing attention to errors discovered in
the columns of their contemporaries.
By giving this pleasure these errors
have served one good purpose, any
way. Some day, maybe, there will be
a perfect newspaper-but not in this
world, and there may not be any news
papers in the neXt-probably won't.

tionaI Extravaganza" Senator Theo-
dore E. Burton says, among a great
rlany other things:
y have seen the house and the SEN
ate spend hours in debating whether
We should retain or dismiss few men
working in small-salaried positions
about the Capitol building, and boast
ing of their desire to promote economy
in the public service! Yet On the
very same day, with scarcely a voice
raised in protest, millions are appro-
rriated for what might be called po-
litical expenditures, in that they will
improve the chances of various con-
gressmen for reelection"
In some of our State legislatures
members have been observed fighting
a living salary for some underpaid
employee of the State, while voting
without the least hesitation for var
ious bills to spend thousands and
thousands of dollars of extravagant
appropriations.
The differnce between the State leg
islatures and the congress, as Senator
Burton views the congress, is that
the member of the State legislature
fights the little matter for home con-
sumption, while the member of con-
gress fights for the big appropriation
for home consumption.
We of the South, and particularly
South Carolina, however, have not re-
ceived our share of these big appro-
rriations of congress. South Carolina
surely can not be criticized for any
big amounts which she has received
from the national treasury.
But the point we started out to
make was the thought suggested by
Senator Burton, when applied to State
egislatures-that the place to trim
or to keep down extravaganza should
be sought first in large appropriations
which, while they would be very we'll
if the people were amply able to af-
ford them, are rot absolutely neces-
sary.
The Herald and News is friend OF
the States higher institutions of learn
ing, and would not do anything to in
jure one of them. But some of them
could be run more economically than
they are now being conducted. And
some of them are spending enormous
amounts when compared with what
the needy country schools are receiv- !
real country schools, where
many of our boys and girls receive all
the education with which they go into
the battles of life.
The matter of State printing, and
various other matters involving
amounts which are not small, might
we'll receive the earnest attention of
our legislators.
Economy with efficiency should be
the aim.

k.U. OUT OF WATER
Mount Dread Pipes are Dry
Because of Failure of the
City Wells.
COMPANY CAN DO NOTHING
No Relief Until Heavy Rain Comes
Part of Lawrence Without Fire
Protection.

The water supply has been cut off
there is no immediate prospects of its
being turned on again. Not a drop
of water is running in the pipes in
the buildings of the University of
Kansas, and several laboratories will
be forced to close.
The water company, private con-
Germ in Lawrence, says it cannot set
any water. 1t draws it's supply from
ground wells and these, the officials
say, have gone dry and cannot be
used to their full capacity again until
a heavy rain comes. Another well is
being dug now, but will not be ready
for use for some time. The downtown
part of the city has water, but the
higher parts have not pressure enough
to bring the water out of their faucets.
Half way up Mount Dread the pres
sure is just strong enough to force
the water out of the facuets, but on
top of the hill not a drop can be
drawn.
The only fire protection the univer-
sity has now is furnished by Potter
Lake, a small body of water on the
north part of the campus. The water
here is so low that none is being
pumped out except just barely enough
to run the heating plant. The re-
mainder must be saved for fire pro-
lection.

RIDDLE ISSUES STATEMENT
State Live Stock Commissioner Says
Quarantine of Wichita Stock
Yards Was a Mistake.

In a statement just issued, Tay-
lor Riddle, state live stock sanitary
commissioner. made explanation in
the nature of an apology for quaran-
timing the Wichita stock yards recent
ly- He did it in justice to the Wichita
market The quarantine has been
raised on the yards, both by the state
and government.
Mr. Riddles statement in part fol-
lows
There are four other diseases
which resemble foot and mouth on
microscopic diagnosis, and unless the
veterinary surgeon is a man of great
care and experience, grave error
might easily be made. If any doubt
exists upon the microscopic examina-
tion in discriminating between the
similar diseases, exhaustive tests, the
nature of which are known to expert
enced veterinarians, should be resort
ed to and consulting experts called.
This important measure was omitted,
and the government veterinarian who
made the first microscopic examina-
tion reached his conclusion too has
tily. Had the precautionary measure.
mentioned above, been taken and the
state authorities notified of the sus
picion that foot and mouth disease
existed in the stock yards. and theii
experts, or others of like standing.
been called in consultation, different
conclusions would have been reached
and no quarantine of any kind would
have been levied.
This statement is not made with
view of criticism of any one or any
department, but for the reason that
like errors may not hereafter be COM
mitted.
The Wichita Union stock yards are
not infected with the foot and mouth
disease. There is no danger whatever
in shipping to that market"

captured up to November 10, were
slightly more than $4,000. OF this
number nearly 100, 900 have been killed

published from time to time, now
amounts to about 1S0, ,00O The British

will be well able to look after her
best interests from this time forward
