HUMPHREYS Will run
Democrat Lawyer Announces for Pro.
hate Judge.

Thomas d. Humphreys, attorney,
513 Kansas avenue, said today that
in response to the solicitation of his
Democratic friends he had decided to
become a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination of the office of pro-
bate judge.
In stating his intention of becoming
q candidate he said he believed that
all remuneration in connection with
the office should be confined to the
salary paid by the county and no
more, and that all fees collected
should be turned over to the county
or the state as the case might be.
There is another change in the way
things are managed now which 1 am
in favor of, although it is not of much
Importance. I do not believe that the
same person who issues a marriage
license should perform the marriage
ceremony. To do. SO places the pro-
bate Judge in the position of being the
administrator of his own writs."
Mr.. Humphreys has lived in Topeka
26 years. He has never held public
office and has been a candidate only
cnce, running for the office of prose-
crting attorney and being defeated by

PARSONS GETS PICTURE
Hrs Animal Drawings Win Favor Of
Commission.

The state school book commission. at its
meeting the first two days OF this week,
accepted eight pictures and the cover
page for the new Kansas primer by Har-
vey Parsons, the Topeka artist and car
toonist. Six of the pictures illustrate the
story Of the little red hen that tried to
get the dog and the cat and the goose
and the pig to help her plant wheat and
tend it and make bread from the har-
vest. The animals refused and when they
wanted the bread the hen had made she
turned them down. Mr.. Parsons inter-
probation of the series was in his best
vein. This series. 1t was the opinion of
the commission, IL worthy to appear
with the pictures Of Ruth Mary Halleck.
the New York artist who secured the
contract to furnish all the pictures for
the primer except twenty to be drawn by
Kansas artists.
The cover by Mr. Parsons Is composed
Of Kansas sunf1owers woven into a most
attractive design.
The debate over the pictures for the
primer occupied about six hours Of the
commissions time during the last two
meetings. OF the seven members Of the
commission. seven have developed into
art critics. The class in music will ap-
pear before the commission at its next
session April 10.

SILO Is VALUABLE ADJUNCT
Poor Mans Necessity and Rich Name
Luxury, Says Connecticut Elk
pertinent Station Bulletin.

A bulletin of the Connecticut expert
ment station says that "the silo is the
poor mans necessity and the rich
mans luxury, for by it both gain bet
ter and more independent living" 1t
Is well-known fact that much more
of the nutrients in the corn plant and
other forage crops can be saved in
the silo than by any other method. Be-
sides the advantage of silage in the
economy of preserving so large a per
centage of the feeding quality of for
age crops. it furnishes a succulent
feed In the winter when it Is needed
to stimulate the assimilation of food
in an animal, to keep the appetite ac-
tive and the digestive organs healthy.
In a summary of it's conclusions
the bulletin says that any farm prod
uct can be sliced providing there IL
sufficient sugar in the mixture to be
fermented into acid to preserve it.
The following mixtures silo successful
ly and make a very desirable and
Iearly balanced ration: Alfalfa and
rye, clover and timothy or wheat or
oats, and oats and peas, and corn and
cowpeas and soybeans. Nothing excels
the feeding of silage, especially
legume silage, during the dry sum-
mer months for keeping up the flow
of milk to its highest point.

CROPS IN NORTHERN SYRIA
Cotton Product Runs to 10000 Bales
This Year-Pistachio Nuts VIII
Be Few.

The estimated cotton crop Of the
province of Aleppo, Syria, is consid-
cred to be very large this year-40,-
900 bales against only 10000 bales in
1872 of which 2,100 bales were ship
ped to Constantinople, and $500 to
Europe.
The seasame seed output is estimat-
ed at LOO tons of 1000 pounds each,
against one-third of that amount for
1912.
The olive trees are overloaded, and
with favorable weather an abundant
crop is expected.
The pistachio nut crop is practical
ly failure this year, the production
of the entire province promising only
100 tons in 1912. The prices for pis-
tachios in Aleppo occasionally depend
on the Persian crop, which is pre-
ferred because the kernel is darker
green than that of the pistachio OF
Aleppo or Aintab. In 1912 local prices
were about nine Aleppo market pias-
tiers per oke, or 11.07 cents per pound,
put because of the short crop this
year the price has advanced to IL
piasters the oke, or PLOT cents per
pound (the local plaster at $0.O35 and
the oke at 2.8 pounds) and is still ris-
ing The greater portion of the ex-
portation goes to Germany and Aus
tria for confectionery purposes, but
the United States takes an important
quantity and increases the amount an
nually.

FLASHED BY WIRELESS
BY FRANK FiLSON.

a man was tramping heavily across
the sands Of the interior of the vast
Australian continent. Preston watched
him from the door of his tent. He
had no doubt that this was an illu-
sion, born, like so many others, OF
loneliness and the scorching heat OF
the illimitable wastes.
For fifteen months Preston had not
seen a white mans face. With his
small company of faithful blacks he
had travelled almost from coast to
coast, erecting the wireless telegraph
stations which are fast covering the
interior of this huge desert land He
had had companion-Hall; but Hall
lay under a cairn of stones many
weeks journey southwark and Pres
ton was without companionship.
Cut off from the world as he was,
all his perspective of things had
changed. What had seemed formerly
unimportant now appeared of the ut
most urgency. Important things-such
as cleanliness, for example, or the
use of the knife and fork-seemed
merely essential details. But what he
had once scoffed at-such as religion,
and love-were overwhelming facts.
Back in England a girl was waiting
till the completion of his task enabled
him to send for her, that they might
take up life together.
The figure came forward. At last
Preston began to believe that it was
reality. He advanced from the tent
door; the man staggered up and then
collapsed at his feet. He was emaciat-
ed by hunger and burned brick-red by
the tropical sun. Preston carried him
into his tent, undressed him and placed
him upon his stretcher. He sat beside
him and laved his head with water
from porous bag, cooled by evapora-
ton in the sun
Presently the man began to NUT
ter, but Preston could not catch any
meaning in his disjointed words. He
had no time to spend on him. Leav-
ing him there he turned his atten-
ton to the receiving apparatus which
was being set up. I Re blacks worked,
jabbering, under his directions. No

body who saw Preston, cool in his
white linen coat and sun-helmet, would
have dreamed that the whole pyschic
organization of the man was disin-
tegrating His work he carried on
by force of habit, but his mind was a
chaotic whirl of fancies.
Sometimes, when they grew too
turbulent for self-control, he would
look at a locket which he carried in
his pocket. Inside was girls face
a fair-haired English girl of common
place type enough, but all in the
world to him. That steadied him. He
could go on with his work in the
hope that it gave him. And his work
was little more than half completed
Evening came at length; the meal
was prepared. The stranger showed
signs Of reviving. Presently conscious
ness came back; he sat up and looked
round weakly.
Where am II" he asked
Preston answered him in latitude
and longitude; that was the only way
of reckoning in that region. Where
are you from?" he asked
The man told him an incredible
story. He had tried to tramp from
the Cape York region to Brisbane. He
had been wrecked in pearling
schooner. He had struck the first of
Preston's camps, and had followed the
line, hoping that they would lead him
to safety. He was at his last gasp
when Preston found him. Then he
relapsed into delirium and began NUT
tering.
Preston at first paid no attention
to his delirium Gradually, however,
he became worse The man was
alarmingly worse by morning. 1t
seemed improbable that he would sur
vive the day. One name persistently
lowered upon his lips. 1t was wo-
mans name.
Rarely the sick man would return
to consciousness, but Preston was I'M
able to gather much from him. The
girl was his f1ance and lived in Ply
mouth, England. That much he knew:
Miss Daisy Gibson, engaged to Peter
Barnett and waiting for his return
with the pearl oyster catch, that they
might be married. AS the sick man
grew weaker his utterance of her
name became continuous.
All at once a wild idea came into
Preston's brain. He shook Barnett
violently.
