munity, it has been made to yield a larger
turn to the taxpayers.
But these reasons, admirable as they are, do
not suggest the profoundest and most permanent
significance of the night school. That signifi-
canoe lies in this-that mature men and women
have gone back to school!
How many there who suppose schools ex-
ist for the young only! The moment the word
school is mentioned, nine out of ten have a Wis
ion of boys and girls filing in and out or sitting
in their rows of benches with an open book be-
fore them. Some day there will be added to that
vision men and women sitting in school benches,
with open books before them. The popular say
ing that 'So-and-so has finished his education''
is one of the biggest blunders of which any man
has ever been guilty.
The only man who has finished his education
is the man who lies in his casket and we are not
even sure that he has finished it. He may SIM
ply have graduated into a higher class.
Education is as much task for life as work
is The mature man is as much in need of that
stimulus, that wider knowledge and that added
self-discipline which cooperation with teachers
and other students brings as any child is
When men and women get into the habit of
going to school and not being half ashamed of it,
as many now, the school, too, will be helped.
Sometimes teachers get into bad teaching habits
because they are continually dealing with the
minds of children and sometimes the children can
not appreciate their studies because they do not
understand how these studies link up with the
activities in the great world outside. If men and
women from that great world get into the class
es, both the teachers lopsidedness and the pupils
nearsghtedness will be corrected.
This feeling that there can be no dividing line
between school and job is so strong that many
cities are beginning to harness up the school
system with factories stores and offices and are
even giving school credits to those pupils who are
engaged in such work.
We talk about political graft on the part of
officials and Indifference and ncompetency on
the part of citizens Is not all this due to gnor-
ance?
Physicians find no more difficult task than to
cure child suffering from arrested develop

interfered with, the unfortunate youngster is

Thousands of and women are suffering
from arrested development of the brain. Up to
a certain point in their lives, they studied sys-
tenatically and faithfully, but at that juncture
the school doors closed behind them and they
stopped using their brains. Before long, fanati-
csm, prejudice, fear and stupidity, the inevita-
BILE offspring of ignorance began to inhabit their
minds and they became intellectual monstrosi-

"A SHAME ON THE COUNTY"
Local Men Should Have Bought VIII
cox's HOlsteins, Says BOrInan

T. A. Borman, in the current is
sue of the Kansas Farmer, of which
he is the editor, has an interesting
discussion of the success of A. B.
Wilcox in dairying and the disper-
sion sale which Mr.. Wilcox recently
held here. Mr.. Wilcox has sold off
all his herd and will replace 1t with
herd of purebreds. Mr.. Borman
says, in part:
The leading herd of the Dickin-
son County Cow Testing association
was dispersed at Abilene October
is. This was a herd Of grade Hol-
stems owned by A. B. Wilcox, a
dairy farmer. Mention of this herd
and of Mr.. Wilcox's method Of breed
ing, handling and feeding, has nu-
merous times been made In these
columns. The sale was regarded as
a complete success. That is, buyers
were plentiful. competition active
and good prices paid. The sale net
ted 5000 for seventy-eight ami
mails and every cent of the money
was paid in cash. When we say
good prices we make reservation.
We mean good prices compared with
the way milk cows sell generally.
We do not mean that Mr.. Wilcox's
offering brought the money 1t was
worth, because we hold the opinion
that many Of the cows sold dirt
cheap in comparison with 8 Valua-

poorer quality than those sold by
Mr.. Wilcox. In fact, some Dickin-
son county men have already done
this very thing. The county has slip
ped back a notch in its progress as
dairy center by not retaining in
the county the animals Of the VIII
COX herd. 1t is to be remembered,
though, that this is not an excep-
ton or unusual occurrence. There
is an old saying that "a prophet is
without honor In his own country"
and we have no doubt there is a
feeling in the county that Mr.. VIII
cox's animals were not as good as
they really were. Distance lends en-
chantment and 1t may be that be-
cause q COW is purchased in Wis
consin or some other far-off state
she may be classed among the elite
and because of her far off associa-
lions have a greater value. Value
in milk cows is based upon what the
cow is able to do in returning q
profit to her owner for feed con-
sumed and labor expended in her
care. Our interest in Dickinson
county and its people causes Us to
wish that the Wilcox herd had been
in the county.

feed, labor and allowing for depre-
citation. When a COW during the
first twelve months of her lactation
period, produces 16,458 pounds Of
milk and 736 pounds of butter, sells
for 1925 we contend that she does
not sell for what she is worth. True,
this was only grade COW, but her
ability as a producer excels that Of
thousands Of pure bred cows and
which sell for $500 and upward.
This cow will pay, according to Mr..
Wilcox's method of figuring, 10 per
cent a. year on $4,000. In the same
sale a COW which during the first
six months of her lactation period
produced 9549 pounds of milk and
4SS pounds of butter, sold for
$287.5O. This was another cheap
COW. We might go through the list
and point out other instances in
which mature cows sold for less
money than they were worth.
It is to the shame of Dickinson
county-a county in which the gen.
eral interest in dairying probably
exceeds that Of any other county in
the state-that only twenty-five Of
the seventy-eight head sold by Mr..
wilcox were bought by residents Of
the county. Mr.. Wilcox's neighbors
bought mostly calves and none Of
the high-priced animals. This coun-
ty in which there is more than the
average of intelligence and interest
in dairy matters and much more
than the average Of Kansas coun-
ties IN money per capita, allowed
outside buyers to take from. the
county the choice animals Of this
herd. The men OF Dickinson county
win pay in wisconsin and IN other
states more money for cattle OF

Cash and wheat VIII BE Converted
Into FIourN-A Big Meeting
Tuesday Night

dickinson county Is going TO be
organised down to the grass roots IN
collecting money. wheat and flour
which will be sent to help the seven
millions of people who are facing
starvation in Belgium. This is to be
a part Of the state organization
formed at Topeka last Friday, ana
every family in the whole county
win have q chance to give; every
merchant, professional man, wage
Garner, every woman--all are to
Join in the movement.
q. A. Rogers has been named by
Governor George H. Hodges, who IS
in charge of the Kansas organiEa-
ton. as chairman for this county.
Mr.. Rogers this morning called
meeting OF representative men ana
women OF the city to discuss ways
and means for starting the relief
work here. It was decided to hold
a big meeting in the Commercial
club tomorrow night at 8 o'clock and
at this time the movement will be
started with q rush. Everyone Is
urged to attend, men and women
alike. All church societies. lodges,
women's clubs, and all other or
ganizations which hold meetings
this week or within the next ten
days are urged to take the matter
up and discuss It in their meetings.
The meeting which is to be held In
the Commercial club room tomor-
row night at 1880 in regard to
boosting for the grand lodge offices
OF the A. o. U. w. will be over in
time for the relief fund gathering.
Later on, meetings will be held

]. B. Case is a member OF the
state executive committee and was
active in the state organization at
a meeting at Topeka Friday night.
He presided over a part Of the ses-
sion and went to Topeka today to
meet with the committee in perfect
ing the work.
Gifts to this fund are to be made
in terms of flour. Farmers are ask
ed by Governor Hodges TO give one
bushel of wheat out of every 200
bushels raised this year and II
Dickinson farmers will do this, their
donation in wheat alone will be over
$4,000 bushels of wheat, represent
ing a donation of about $4,000.
Dickinson county this year raised
nearly three million bushels OF
wheat. Most of the wheat increased
in value not less than 80 cents
bushel as the result of the war in
Europe, increasing the value of the
crop nearly a million dollars. Sure
", Dickinson farmers can afford to
give.
If a farmer will bring in his
wheat to the mills in Abilene, they |
will grind it free, deliver the flour
to railroads who will transport it in |
carload lots to seaboard, and from
there it will be carried across to
the needy Belgians in shiploads.
Everyone is asked to give a barrel
of flour, or sack or as much as
each can afford. A 96-lb sack OF
flour can be bought for $500, 140-
lb. sack for 1910, barrel sack OF
flour for $4.40; and it is the bar
rels that the relief fund is after.

On any showing there is at this

nothing any intelligent man could

he does not simply submit to in the

would probably be better, because
Irishmen interrupt Parliamentary de-

There is. he says, in Joseph Devlin
