Sand Ridge, ILL.,, March 2o.-A stall
wart man, his face only slightly
touched by prison pallor, entered a
rough log hut not far from the banks
of the Mississippi, early today, and
with shout of joy clasped a tiny
figure that lay sleeping peacefully in
cheaply built cradle.
Baby Vallie, whose chubby fea-
lures have become known to count
less thousands of newspaper readers
throughout America, had met his
father, Charles Kinney, for the first
time since he was a two-months'-old
infant. Kinney, who until yesterday

he has his daddy"

AIMED AT PRISON WORK
Washington, March 20.-That
prison contractors had paid him since
1908 to work against national legis-
lation which would hamper prison
contract work was admitted by Ed
ward Boyle of Chicago, former treas
urer of the National Conference of
Charities and Corrections, before the

Vict made goods.
He draws his checks, he said, from
Duncan McCuen Of the Paramount
Knitting Company, who have shops
at Kankakee, ILL.,, Beaver Dam and

Railroad Travel I'm 1916

Prof. Edward L. Morse of Salem
sends the following extract from
letter written by Louis Agassiz to
his mother. The letter is dated Bos-
ton, December, 1916:
Leaving Boston the 10th OF Octo-
Der, went by rail to New Haven,
passing through Springfield. The ra-
pidity of the 'ocomotion is frightful
to those unused to it, but you adapt
yourself to the speed, and soon be-
come, like the rest of the world, i'm
patient of the slightest delay. | we'll
understand that an antipathy for this
mode of travel is possible. There is
something internal in the irresistible
power of steam, carrying such heavy
masses along with the swiftness of
lightning. The habits growing out of
continued contact with railroads and
the influence they exert on COM
munity, are far from agreeable until
one is familiar with them. You would
cry out in dismay did you see your
baggage flung about pell nell like
logs of wood-trunks, chests, travel
ing bags, hat boxes, all in the same
mill, and If here and there some
thing goes to pieces no one is aston
ished; never mind we go fast-we
gain time-that is the essential
thing"
And this was on the Boston & AL
bany! And there was baggage smash
ing in 1S46!-Kansas City Star.

WINDBREAKs

More wipdbreaks should be planted
in Central and Western Oklahoma.
My observations this fall still further
confirm the good opinion which | had
of the tamarlsk as plant for low
windbreaks. And it is especially use
full about the chicken yard, saw 1t
growing in every western county and,
no matter how 1t had been neglected,
1t is still there and alive. The ca
talpa is disappointing tree. 1t has
not come up to expectations by a
good deal. Black locusts have fought
1t through almost everywhere, though
thickly planted groves have been
damaged By recent dry years. The
Russian mulberry stays where 1t is
iput and, when once established, con.
tlnues growing. And the elm Is the
ireal shade tree for planting about
the house. A few OF these can, with
little care, be established almost
anywhere. But for real wlndbreak,
beginning on the south side, row
of tamarisk, then Russian mulberry
then black locust, and then cotton
wood, still go as most likely to be
generally satisfactory. The rows
should be far enough apart to admit
OF easy cultivation with disk har-
row and the different roks should
break joints Begin preparing for
the planting now by blowing deep
and working down to store moisture.

bids. The earlier the planting can be
done after the soil is filled with mois-
ture, the better the chances for sue
cess. And do not plant too thickly.
Some of the recommendations based
an earlier experience have been
knocked out by the long dry spell
which has broken all previous rec

Talk with the grain dealers and
they will tell you that the maize crop
in Texas county this year is bringing
in more money than the wheat crop
and as for certainty in yield you
know Texas county's record in that
line without mentioning its great rec
ognized resources Much of the crop
being marketed is in poor condition,
however, being damaged by the Dc
tober rains for the reason that it
could not be harvested on account of
the scarcity of hands. Good maize
is bringing from so to 80 cents per
100 pounds and is yielding from 25
to so bushels per acre, so you can
figure out whether it is a paying
crop. Every farmer who grows so
acres of maize and gets a few hogs,
cattle and horses about him is going
to make a success of it in Texas
county, for if he will stay with that
combination it will prove winner in
the end. The sooner he cuts out
broom corn the better he and the
county will fare.-Guymon Herald

A local physician had occasion last
week to learn that kindness Is not a
lost art in Pawnee county. 1t was
the coolest of the cold nights that
the doctor was called to make visit
to the country nineteen miles west
of Larned. He had driven just sew
enteen miles OF the distance when
his radiator, or whatever 1t is about
an automobile that congeals, froze
up, and the machine came to a stand
still. The doctor walked to the near
est farm house, which proved to be
the home of George Couchman, and
told MIN his troubles. Here the doc
tor availed himself of the telephone,
and an automobile was sent from the
home of his patient two miles further
on to pick him up. While he was
making the call, Mr.. Couchman took
his motor car apart and thawed 1t
out thoroughly and had it in good
running order when the doctor re-
turned. This was between one and
o'clock in the morning. Where
else on earth would you find a farmer
with so much technical knowledge
and kindness combined. 1t so hap
pened that like many Pawnee county
farmers, Mr.. Couchman owned a big
siX-cylinder machine of his own, ana
it was no trick for him to help the
doctor solve his problems. But there
are not many places in the world
where you can drive in the dark OF

Here's stray thought which was
picked up during the visit to Null
Yane last week. You men who insist
on sticking to Ine all-wheat method
of farming, has it occurred to you
that in holding to the wheat crop you
are robbing your land of fertility
which in reality belongs to posterity?
If you have children who will inherit
the land. would you not be doing bet
ter by them if you helped in an at
tempt to revise the method of farm
ing to put something back on the
land each year, than to cash in its
fertility new and put it into money
which the heirs may quarrel over and
lose? This IS worth thinking about.
And if you do not have any children
to whom to leave your wealth, is it
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1914-12-25

any satisfaction to you to thus reach
into the future with your money
grabbing? In a stock-raising coun-
try the fertility of the soil is auto
matically renewed. We have been
taking from the land now for a good
many years. Let's begin to put
something on it now History tells
us that the fellow who killed the
goose to get all of the golden eggs
at once made bum guess.-Stafford

A little excitement was created on
our streets Monday when the delivery
horse at the City Market decided he
had stood in one spot long enough
and moved on. He broke loose from
behind the building where he was
tied and ran down the street and
across the bridge, breaking loose
from the vehicle at the north side
of the bridge. The buggy and har-
ness was somewhat damaged and the
horse given a fright which he will
not forget for some time, but other
wise no damage was done. The run
away was caused by the horse taking
fright at some green hides which
were in the rig.-Beaver Herald.

In the mail we get two grand, good ideas, two
somewhat novel views of life problems which, if lnir
versally adopted and lived up to, would mean reyo-
luton such as the world has not yet seen. ka
Mrs. Anna Semple, a California woman, takes INTO
her home the girl whom her husband betrayedtHnd
would befriend her until she gets straight with life
again" Mrs Semple believes that women are too
ready to scorn the woman who is down; all women
should stand by each other"
Suppose that women should stand by the fallen
woman men stand by the fallen man. 1t would
put an end to the obsession that there is female
morality and male morality, wouldn't itP Yes, it
would smash the "double standard and more men
would live clean lives What tremendous social
revolution if, when woman falls the women should
think and act as Christian-like as they do toward
fallen men!
The other interesting story in our mail tells how
"Bill' Brown, of Los Angeles city prosecutors,
puts tramps attire and associates with socalled
Migrants, so that fewer men who are simply out of
work will not be railroaded to jail from police court
|as s'vags."
Think of city prosecutor working to keep men
out OF jail! Why, prosecutors record is based on
the big number of convictions he secures, isn't it2
There are lots of men out of work, just now, and
"Bill' Brown is passing up the chance of lifetime,
to say nothing of his interference with the prosper
ity of of most precious Institutions the jail
It's decidedly revolutionary It's going back to the
dark days, when prosecutor believes that it's bet
ter that nine guilty men escape than that inno
cent man be jailed, ism it?
These two stories are not the 'big news'' stories
of the day. You will not find them displayed under
large circus-poster type. You'll find the display
made the heroism of Francois Jean Pierre, who
cuts the Threats of six German boy soldiers with his
own hand; you'll find the fame spread over'Gen.
Dbble who, by clever strategy traps 1000 Servians
so that they easily be moved down by his rapid
firers. But there is heroism when woman, defying
the of her sex and disregarding the merciless
custom of the ages takes into her life fallen sister
and, by other means than prayer and advice gives
her practical chance to "get straight with life
again. there's good strategy policy admirable love
of justice in the prosecutor who works to keep
out of jail rather than in.

DESTROY REPORTS OF
ABDUL HANDS, SPIES
Thousands of Documents Made Away
with at the Turkish Ministry
of War.

Constantinople. April 11.-Thousands of
documents, the reports of the spies OF the
deposed Sultan Abdul Hamid. have just
been destroyed at the ministry of war,
under the direction of the members of
the present Turkish cabinet. The Jour
mails" were found at Yildiz Kiosk at the
time of the entry into Constantinople by
the army of Macedonia under the COM
mand of Mohamud Shevket Pasha, in
April, 1909. After their discovery they
were transported in hundreds of sealed
cases from Yildiz to the ministry of wal
for safe keeping.
They were the work OF policemen or
functionaries in search of promotion or
powerful men in the ministries who de-
sire to maintain themselves in power by
flattering the warped imagination OF
Abdul Hamid.
These documents. the number Of which
is incalculable, formed one of the de-
lights of the old imperial maniac, and
constantly furnished him with opportuni-
ties of indulging his hatred. Exile, pois-
onings. and assassinations were their
cruel consequences. and those people who
suffered most by them, are, II Is said
precisely those who have now destroyed
the last vestiges Of the past regime Of
cruelty.
