There never had been time
in this country when it was
more important for the farmer
to hold young breeding stock.
The live stock population has
decreased tremendously in
Kansas and il is very unfortu-
nate. Every effort should be
made in all the counties ia Kan
sas TO hold all the breeding
stock this year as the world will
demand more Of our meat next
year than ever before. AS a
matter of public welfare, every
Institute organization, every far
mers' organization of any kind,
every bankers organization and
every banker and every CONNER
cial club should join IN an effort
to hold all young live stock and
especially all breeding stock.
There is ample feed in Kansas
to carry through the winter
much more livestock than we
have and there will be ample
pasture and ample silage to car
ry such liye stock through the
winter. The Kansas Agricul-
tural College is using all ITS lns
fiuence in every possible direc-
ton to induce farmers, not only
to hold live stock in the counties
but to go out and get other stock
to feed the Kansas alfalfa and
Kansas sorghums, instead of
shipping alfalfa and wasting the
sorghums. A million sheep
could be fattened this winter in
Kansas on little alfalfa and on
otherfeed that will probably be
wasted. The slogan in every
county in Kansas should be
.Hoid Young Live Stock.

SCHOOL
BEGINS
Monday, September Seventh
Pupils Are Urged To
Enter First Day



The Meade public schools will
open Monday, September 9TH.
A list Of text books and suppli-
es needed for the various grades
will be published next week and
every child will be expected to
came fully prepared aud equip.
ped for immediate work. There
is no reason why the first days
work of school should not be as
efficient as the second or third.
The M. & M. Drug Company
will handle the school texts.
Snpt. Hamilton is in Meade
and will be more than pleased to
meet with any one interested in
the Meade Schools for next wear.
Boys or girls who desire work
for the coming winter or board
ing places should make known
their wants at once. Students
with irregular credits, students
from out of town who are enter
ing the Meade schools, or any
pupil who has any question
about his work or classification
should have that matter settled
before the first day of school:
Mr.. Hamilton will be in his
Office at the school building on
Friday morning aud Saturday
previous TO the opening day of
school. All high school stu
dents will be asked to enroll on
those days. Grade pupils,
whose work was regular, need
not.
Il
The 9Th grade diplomas are
now at Mr., H. L. Jones' Office
where last years graduates may
obtain them by calling.
Misses Ruth Falls and Nellie
Stevenson plan to be in Meade
about August 3Oth.
Several inquiries have come
indirectly from country stu
dents, who either failed on one
or two subjects in the county
examination or did not take
them. All such students will
be given chance to make up
such deiciencyif they so desire.
Special examination will be off
cred and in some cases, if all
other requirements are met the
students may be accepted on
condition.
One boy, who was contep-
plating entering school made
this remark, II can do this
work, but | won't study Very
emphatically we would state.
"Stay away from the Meade
schools. Very frankly, we do
not need you"
Mr.. Fred Hamilton, who
taught in our schools year ago
will teach in the Greensburg
high school. He will also haye
charge of athletics and that
means that Meade will have to
fight her best to keep up her al
most unbFoken string of victor
les over Careensburg.
Do not forget that the Meade
High School win offer a CONNER
cial course Including Bookkenp-
ing, Shorthand, Type Writing,
Psnmansuip ond Spelling. No
student Of the county will be
charged tuition for any course
offered by the Meade High
School.

VAN CLEVE BY Mary :. Watts.
emo, Up. 396. The Macmillan Com
pany.
Mrs. Watts has earned for herself a
distinct place among our social his
torians in fiction. Her books are
American to the core, in character
drawing, in local color, in the depletion
of our life; and they have the browning
merit of being at the same time emf
nently readable and of excellent work
manship. She is Of the small group Of
our contemporary novelists that count.
She boldly stretches her canvas wide,
and fills il with a sure hand with Il
multitude of personages whom one
readily recognizes as people likely TO
be met with, oftener still as people met
with in the recent past. For In Van
Cleve," as in The Legacy" Mrs Watts
deals with that period Of transition in
our social development which began
after the close Of the Civil War and
which has only OF quite recent years

NJ. Persky's presentation Of it.. His in
troductory brief survey Of the history
of Russian literature is a model Of pur-
poseful condensation in its treatment of
tendencies and influences, of the quail
ity of revolt that has distinguished
Russian literature from the days of
Catharine onward. He knows when
and where Interpretation is needed TO
alien minds his synopses of the most
significant products of the authors
dealt with are excellent, and he does
not blink the difficulty of the stubborn
resistance, the active hostility, which
the ignorant conservatism of the mass
of the Russian people offers TO all ideas
that come from the West. In this very
fact that the Russian iHtciligcn:iG must
WesterniZe, must de-RussianiZe, itself,
to become an influence for better
things, rather than in bureaucratic
prohibition, lies the cause of the SLOW
progress, the shallow impression, it
makes. AS in the times Of Peter the
Great, Russia is still passively await
ing the birth of truly native civiliza-
ton. This by the way, however. 1t is
due TO the author and TO his really
translator to thank them
for a decidedly able book which COW
ers its subject as thoroughly as the
general American reader interested in
contemporary Russian fiction can wish
IL to do.

Charles Scribner's Sons.
A library Of vast proportions. sump-
tuously illustrated, dealing with The
stately homes of England, is already in
existence. To this great collection Of
architectural beauty and historic dig
nifty and romance Mr. Amber now adds
volume dealing with an as yet com
paratively little known province of the
subject, the manor houses and home
steads of smaller size built Ira York
shire during the seventeenth and eigh-
teenth centuries. For some reason or
other, the county contains but few
specimens of e; lier English architect
ure, of the wood and plaster structures
surviving examples may still be found
elsewhere in the kingdom.
This is not a book of history and ro-
nance, but of architectural informa-
ton. The text is largely technical; the
notes accompanying the pictures are
confined to dates of construction and
the briefest OF description. But the fine
reproductions of photographs. nearly
a hundred in number. will no. fail to
exercise the old, yet ever renewed, fas-
cination over the layman who happens
upon this volume. The many pictures
OF details of ornamentation in the ,eXt,
as well as the twenty measured draw
ings. are for the connoisseurs and the
professional architect.
