Columbia, April 9.-The campaign
of 1914 may be said to have opened.
Candidates for governor have been an
nouneing their platforms in the public
prints, and general activity along
all political lines seems to nave been
started. At least four of the candi-
dates for governor have given out
their formal platforms, and it is ex-
pected that others will fall in line and
state the issues upon which they will

The Senatorial Race.

The race for the United States SEN
ate seems to be between Gov
ernor Blease and Senator Smith,
without a third entry. There
was talk for a time of other can
didates, but one by one they withdrew,
and there are now only two candidates
in the race, and, unless something un-
foreseen happens, these will be the
only two candilat when the time
for filing pledges expires. AS matter
of fact, it has appeared to some Of
those who have been watching devel-
opments, that there have been several
mentions" so-called, as 'feelers,"
but that the opposition to Governor
Blease in this race has come to the
conclusion that any additional candi-
dates against him, not matter who or
how many, would only draw strength
from those already opposed to him
that his following is for the governor
against the field And it seems pretty
we'll settled that this following of the
governor is a good majority CT the
Democratic voters Of the State, and
his bitterest opponents are now con-
ceding his election.
Speaks mt WATERFORD Saturday.
The governor Will go to WATERFORD
on Saturday to make an address, and
it is expected that he will say some
tbmg there of a political nature. If he
should discuss politics, his address
will really be the opening gun III the
campaign. The governor has as yet
\ zen out nothing to the press. as to
Gaat he will saw at Wal;erboro.

BOYS AND GIRLS CONTESTS
K. S. A. C.. Plans Work for Boys
and Girls.

For seven years the Agricultural
College has been campaigning among
the boys and girls for better corn and
better bread and bigger crops of kafir
and more interest in household and
garden and field work. It has had the
splendid support of a host of fine
people, superintendents of schools,
city superintents and teachers, bank
ers, commercial clubs and farmers
institute officers. Probably forty
thousand different boys and girls have
been enrolled in these contests and
become deeply interested in improved
agriculture through these contests
and through the exhibits at the
farmers Institutes.
But with only about five or six
thousand boys and girls each year
Kansas has hardly made beginning
in this big work Two years ago one
county sent in 1Ol9 names and if all
had done as well, according to popula-
ton, we would have had go, 600 contes-
tants instead of 5000.
The Extension Division of the Col
lege is now sending out suggestions
for the work for this season and in
viting the cooperation of school peo-
pie, ministers, institute officers, bank
ers, oranges, business men, CONNER
cial clubs and everybody to help make
this the banner year for the boys and
girls and also the banner year for
corn, kafir and potatoes, gardens, and

most wonderful cough, cold and
throat and lung medicine 1 ever sold

without any trouble at all. 1t needs
no guarantee" This is true. because
Dr. Kings New Discovery will re-

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, January
13, 1914. Oil mill cattle from the
South are due at this season and are
running freely. Sugar mill cattle
from Colorado and the West are due
month or more later, but they are
running now, little ahead of time
The spread of the silo has been so
general in the last year-or two that
these big firelesS cookers are now
found in the plains in the panhandle,
country, as WE'LL as in the corn raising
districts. Their use in connection
with cotton seed meal and other con-
centrated feeds, has enabled the
Southwest to push its claims for
recognition as winter beef produc-
ing section, and shipments from that
territory are now running. Kansas
and Western Missouri are sending in
some beef, and Iowa and Nebraska
consignments are coming this way.
The result is that 14000 cattle arrived
yesterday, and sold at steady prices,
and 5000 came in today, market steady.
Stockers and feeders are selling firm,
partly because of the more hopeful
outlook for beef cattle and partly ac-
count of the annual rise the first part
of January. This advance is ex-
planned by the close of the more or
less somnolent period around the
holidays, SO far as, the live stock busi-
ness is concerned. Heavy native
steers sold at 80 today, medium ma
tives at 81 80 to $3.50, Colorado Pulp
steers s7.25 ID IS. 35, meal fed steers
Sc. SO to 50. TO- native cows S5. go to 81,
veals SS. so to SlI, stockers and feeders
1925 to sS so.
Hog advances received a halt this
week, terminating the spectacle of
corn and hogs going opposite direc-
tions. Receipts are running moderate
10000 here today, prices steady to
lower, top 1925 bulk of sales S7.75 to
S8.15. Pigs are 10 to 25 lower this
week, at S.. rs to 81 35. Fresh pork
demand is very strong, and with a
short run of hogs impending, togeth-
er with some improvement in quality
of hogs, induced, for prediction of
higher hog prices is offered.
Lambs are being offered at the lead
ing markets freely, and are holding
barely steady since the middle of last
week, tops at $40 to S6.05. On the
other hand ewes, weathers and year
lings are scarce, and are holding up
firm, ewes at IS. 25 to S.. so, wethers
So. 40 to s6, yearlings $3.50 TO s7.25.
Receipts are lighter this week than
heretofore, 1000 yesterday, 1000 to-
day.

Market Correspondent.

A business man of Jamestown was
talking about the value of steady and
persistent advertising. He said that
in looking over the advertisements in
automobile journals and monthly
magazines he would often notice half
page or page advertisement for some
automobile attachment that looked
like practical and useful device. Per-
haps in the next issue of the same
magazine the advertisement would
occupy a fye inch space, and then it
would appear once or twice in still
smaller pace and finally would be left
out entirely. Quite often he said he
did not need the article when he first
noticed the advertisement, or perhaps
did not feel able to buy it just then
Later on when he was ready to buy it
he would hunt through his late maga-
zines and not be able to find the ad-
dress of the firm manufacturing the
article he had made up his mind TO
buy The advertiser who wants the
best returns on his money must ad-
vertise his wares in every issue of
the medium he uses. Many business
men drop their advertising because
the dollar they spend today does not
fill their store with customers tomor-
row. You might as we'll hang your
sign out one day and take it down
the next as to advertise one week and
then discontinue the ad for month";.

THE YOUNG WITNESS

A little girl for the first time was
called into court to be a witness in an
important case. The council asked
an oath, and she said mo SIR" think
ing that he meant if she had ever
used profane words. The Judge said
ssThat is not what 1 mean, 1 mean if
you have ever been in court before. +"
She replied that this was the first
time Her name was Emily and she
was only nine years old.
The judge handed her the open
Bible and asked her if she knew what
sir, it is the Bible, the word of the
great God.'' Then the judge asked if
she had ever read in it. He learned
that the little girl read her Bible
every evening. He told her to place
her hand upon the Bible and listen to
what she said. He asked if she would
tell nothing but the truth and if she
would ask God to help her. She re-
piled .Yes sir" The next question
was if she knew what would become
of her if she did not tell the truth in
court. 81 shall be shut up in prison. -
ssAnything else?" further asked the
Judge. Eyes, / shall never go to
heayen,'' replied Emily. The judge
was surprised "How do you know
that, my daughter9n he kindly in
quired. Emily took the Bible and
turning rapidly to the ten command
ments pointed to the one that reads:
ssThou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbor-'' She explained
to him that she had learned that be-
fore she could read
The judge then asked her if she
knew why she was summoned to ap-
pear in court The little girl said her
mother had explained that she must
tell what she knew in the case and
that her mother had prayed that God

Uncle Heck has a sneaking suspi-
cion that Uncle Sam has gone daffy
on this parcel post business. With an
11-pound limit it was only mild
competition for the express companies
When the maximum was raised to 20
pounds it got into the local freight
class. Now that the limit is so pounds
the draymen certainly have kick a.

Every man should save enough to
bury himself decently. That is all
he will need, all he can use reason

give away.
A Missouri bachelor advertises for
wife who must be six feet tall,
weight 300 pounds and also be ''agree-
able.' His name is 'sJump" but
even a Missouri bachelor has sense
enough to know who will do The half
hammond stunt if a wife of those
dimensions happens to be a fnssy
hurry to qualify for this position as
it is evident that this cautious chap
is not intending to jump at any sort
of chance. Moreover, the successful
candidate must confess to go plump
winters and summers. Except for
this age limitation there might be an
appreciable falling off in the sale of

A recent local happening reminds
us that Hamlet said something about
the funeral sseats' being saved for
the wedding feast. Still further
economy is possible in the matter of
flowers if the events are not too far
apart. Considering the hard times
and the high cost of living little |
saving here and there is not to be
despised.
A modern tendency in education is
to make schooling more practical and
useful, connecting school life more |
closely with the after life and occupa-
tions of the pupils. Following this,
county high schools are taking up
lines of work pertaining more |
particularly to the nome life of the |
students, great majority of whom |
come from farm homes and to the |
farm most of them will eventually |
return. 1t is we'll.

THE CHRISTMAS CAKES.
Once upon a time there were three
boys that had a long way TO 60 to
school. They could not come home
even on Christmas Their mother
knew how well they liked her Christ
mas cake so she made them a big one
II had raisins and currants in it and
was covered with beautiful frosting.
The oldest boy was 'sStingy Johnnie, y
the next one Greedy Harry" and
the iittlest one Generous Freddie -.
When the boys got their cakes,
Stingy Johnnie took his up to his
room ana hid it in the bottom of his
trunk. Greedy Harry, as soon as he
saw his cake, took out his Jack knife
and ate all of the cake as fast as he
could cut it, That night he was so
sick that he thought he would
die and the doctor had to be
called. But Generous Freddie felt
how kind his mother was to send the
cakes He called all the boys and
told them ABOUT his dear mother and
then he cut the cake into as many
pieces as there were boys and gave
each riece. One day Stingy Johnnie
said that he still had his cake. He
went to look at it and found it all
mouldy and spoiled. 1t never pays to
be selfish and greedy. ~ Clarence

LETTER
Wa-Keeney, Kansas.
Jan. 9, 1914.
My dear cousin Eva,
1t is now time to study our
Language Lesson and we are to write
letters to-day. Our teacher suggested
that l write you about the difference
in German school and our school
here There is a picture of German
school in our book and that is about
all / know about such school. Our
teacher is German so she sometimes
tells us interesting things about the
German school.
When the children have examina-,
tfon in German school, men come
and ask each child questions. In an
American school it is different, the
teacher put the questions and we
children write the answers in a blue
note book. The Germans use states
and the A mericans usually write on
paper. Their schools have long
benches to sit on in place of desks and
they make these benches themselves.
They have table for the teachers
desk. They have different games than
we play too. Our teacher will get us
basket ball.. That will be our present
for the last day of school. 1 can
hardly wait until we get the grounds
fixed so that we can learn to play.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
am as ever,
Your loving cousin.
