The Kansas wheat crop is remark
able. From its 9,116,1S3 wheat-sown
acres-the largest acreage ever de-
voted to this crop-the yield is re-
ported to have been twice as great as
the states next best yield in 1903 and
rs percent greater than any other
state has produced in any one season.
The toal crop is 1s0,924,SS5 bushels
which, at the current price OF frac-
ton over eighty-three cents bushel,
warrants the official estimate of tho
value of the crop at s151, 5SS,031, $50
for every man, woman and child IN
Kansas. From it 4o,2o5.54o barrels OF
-four can be produced. which would

THE EDUCATED MAN.

A professor In the University OF
Chicago declares that to be educated
a man must be able to truthfully
answer the following list OF questions.
Has education made you public
spirited?
Has It made you brother to make
weak?
Have you learned how to make
friends and keep them?
Do you know what It is to be a
friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or a
pure woman in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in a
little child?
VIII a lonely dog follow you in
the street?
Can you be high-minded and happy
in the meanest drudgeries Of life?
Do you think washing dishes and
hoeing corn Just as compatible with
high thinking as piano playing and
golf?
Are you good for anything yourself?
Can you look out on the world and
see al eACSPI anu N~utS
Can you look into a mud puddle by
the wayside and see clear sky?
Can you see anything in the pud
die but mud?
Can you look into the sky at night
and see beyond the stars2
|. The list will test the culture OF
the most refined. Try It on yourself
and see whether or rot you are "edu-
Gated" forgetting for the time being
that you may never have seen the In.

MEMORIES OF WAR.

We have read a great deal that DR..
Burdette has written. We have never
read anything OF his that was not we'll
worth reading again and again. And
the Drums OF the Forty-seyenth" Is
perhaps the finest thing that he has
ever DONE" says the Los Angeles
Times.
For the first time, amid all OF the
books it has been duty and a plea
csure to peruse, we have found one
dealing with the experiences OF sol
der that is completely and wholly
satisfying. OF the glamour and piano.
ply of war there are volumes innum-
cradle. OF the horrors and sfckening
experiences of war there are RECORDS
to fill libraries. OF romance and
heroism, of victories and furious
charges, OF the agonies of defeat and
the heart-tearing marches and desper-
ate hunger, we may read in books
upon books.
Some of that is in THE Drums OF
the Forty-seventh," for these things
belong to war. But there is also
something more.
Here are the heartbeats Of the pri-
vate soldier who has gone forth TO
serve his country without lust for
glory or hate for his enemies; the
laughter OF his comrades is echoed on
the pages; the warm glow of humor
is shown through the exasperating
physical discomforts; the vivid. sick
ening experiences OF the man On the
battle line are revealed with an ex-
quisit.e touch, no less forceful for lack
ing brutality. It Is war as the man In
the ranks sees it and feels it, and
as the humanitarian, with heart OF
love and the wisdom Of long ref1ec-
ton, looks back upon those days a
half century later.
"The Drums of the Forty-seyenth"
is intensely graphic, whether the
theme be light and rings the merry
memories. or whether it be heavy and
rounds the deeper tones OF pathos-
And all the way through fash keen.

The extraction of gasoline from
casing head gas natural gas from oil
wells, has become one of the import
ant adjuncts of the natural gas indus
try In the United States. The produc-
to- is increasing rapidly, the quantity
produced in 1913 having almost doub-
led that of 1912, owing to the installa-
ton of a greater number of plants and
to the advance in the price OF gasoline.
The use of natural gas gasoline
are many and varied. It is principally
used for raising the standard OF
naphthas or low-grade distiilates con
sumed in motors; it is also used for
lighting; and it can be used like
regular gasoline in all the arts. There
is an ever increasing demand for this
gas to be used in automobiles.
