Save The Moisture

The following. taken from the
Beaver Herald, may also be of
value to our Meade county farm
ers:
AS a result of the rains of the
early winter, the ground is
cracking badly and moisture is
escaping rapidly.
1t would be we'll to list all
ground that is to be planted to
row crops. If you cannot take
the time now to list you should
double disc the ground, being
careful not to leave the surface
too fine or blowing will result
Single discing will do if you dc
not have time to double disc.
Get out your farm machinery
and look it over and make al
needed repairs, now while yo,
have the time.
Get the incubator ready if yo,
haye not already done so, I
should be thoroughly fumigatet
and renovated. See that tht
lamp is in good order and tha
the thermometer and thermosta'
or heat regulation act perfectly
otherwise you may sacrifice ar
incubator full of eggs.
The weather is fine and the
ground is In ideal condition sc
far as moisture is concerned,
but you must not be in too big a
hurry to plant your crops. Wait
until you are sure the weather is
settled and the ground is warm
and ready for the seed.
Do not plant bigger crop OF
broom corn than you and your
help can handle. Hands will be
scarce and high next fall.
Begin planning for pit sllc
right away. Raise good crop
of Kafir and Milo to fill it. Get
the cows and other stock around
you to eat'up the silage and you
will be on the road to success.
If your wheat begins to blow
badly try narrowing it. That
may stop it. If you find it does
not, stop.
Get your seed ready. Be sure
that II is we'll cleaned and not
smutted. Test 1t. Lay four or
five thicknesses of cotton cloth in
a com mon dinner plate, dampen
them thoroughly, scatter about
200 seeds taken from the bulk OF
the seed over this cloth and cover
them with three or four thick
nesses of the same cloth well
dampeped. Set the plate with
it's contents in a warm place
Keep camp but not too wet. lr
about FIVE or six days roll bach
the top cloth and count the
sprouted and unsprouted seed
If less than go per cent sprouts
you had better secure better
seed or arrange to plant quite
thick.
Do not try to plant larg
acreage than you can tend prop
erly with teams and the help yot
have.
Don't get scared when the dry
spells come. Keep stout hear
and keep on working. God has
always sent the rains and he vii
do so forever.
Save the moisture, secure gooC
live seed, prepare the ground
properly, plant well, cnltivat,
thoroughly and you will have ;
crop. Yours for success.

silence, the pay ment OF tnat t"o
hundred thousand dollar state
bond, which will be made July
Ath. They do not attempt any
explanation as to how the Hodges
Administration could take one
hundred and sixty thousand dol
lars out of the revenues of 1913
and 1914, to apply on the state
debt when it took the Republican
administration ten years to ac-
cumulate seventy-eight thousand
dollars. 1t is fair TO assume
that there is no explanation ex-
cept that the Hodges admins
tration has been spending less
money than the Republican adj
minlstration to run the state, for
it is certain that the Hodges ad-
ministration has had less rev.
enue. If there was any other
explanation, our readers may be
sure that the Republican press
would jump on to it with both
feet.
The Press Bureau may be a
little persistent in calling atten-
ton to this matter, but when we
get fellow in a corner, we like
to do good Job of hammering.
The Press Bureau has had fire.
quent occasion to call attention
to the inaccuracy and unreliable
ity of figures put out by Repub-
lican politicians and office hold
ers. An incident happened last
week which illustrates this in a
conspicuous manner. Repre-
sentative Bob Stone, in his letter
to Secretary Harrington, reiter'
ating his assertion that the Hod-
ges administration had increased
the state payroll, both in number
and amount, took occasion to re.
fer to the fact that the last leg.
1slature transferred fifty thous-
and dollars from the revolving
twine plant fund to the general
fund, and said: 81 wish to call
your attention to my charge OF
reckless extravaganza made
against your Democratic major
ity at the time the bill making
this transfer, was passed in the
Kansas House, oyer the vigorous
protest and opposition of myself
and progressive Republican col
leagues"
Secretary Harrington thought
it might be well to take look at
the House Journal and after he
had investigated the matter, he
wrote Mr.. Stone as follows:
II have long wanted to know
who the progressive Republicans
in the last legislature were, and
thought this would give me a
chance to find out, SO looked up
the record of the vote on the bill
to see who it was that stood with
you at Armageddon on this oc-
casion. Imagine my surprise on
turning to page 1912 of the House
Journal to find this statement:
"Senate Bill No. 793. An Act
relating to the transfer of a GER
tain amount of money now in the
state treasury, known and des'
ignated as the hard-6ber twine
plant fund of the Kansas Peni'
tertiary, to the general revenue
fund, was read the third time,
and the question being, shall the
bill pass, the roll was called,
with the following results: Yeas

names of those who are listed

breaches ON THE
DIVINITY OF CHRIST

The service at the First Christian
church, where Rev. J. ". Kerns, of Aus
tin, Tex, is preaching nightly, was well
attended Monday night. The sermon
dealt with the divinity of Christ. The
text was taken from the well known
incident in the life of Christ at Caes-
saerea Phiuippi, where Jesus questioned
his disciples with reference to their own
and others estimate of himself. and eX-
pressed appreciation for the answer
which Peter gave when he said Thou
art the Christ the Son Of the Living
God"
In the opening part Of the sermon
Rev. Mr.. Kerns said that he had always
been interested in the various estimates
which men place upon the life Of Christ.
He quoted extensively from modern
writer's and then referring to the New
Testament writer's he said: There can
be no better or truer estimates Of the
life of Christ than those which come 70
US from his contemporaries" If you
want to know a man go to those who
walked with him, heard the words that
fell from his lips and caught the flash
of his eye. There were two classes OF
people both OF whom knew Jesus well
in the flesh who have left their testi-
monies concerning him. There were
those who were opposed to him and
there were those who followed him. The
witness of both presents unimpeachable
testimony to the divinity of his char
acter."
The services will be continued
throughout the week beginning each
evening at 1880. The subject tonight
will be, why Men Forsake Christ"
