RIGHT NOW
IS THE TIME
Begin Work OF Exterminating
That Troublesome Pest
The Grasshopper

The results of the Kansas
University's cooperation cam
paign against native grasshop'
pers last year has just been pub
lished and gives an account of
most extensive and successful
campaign which proved conclu-
sively that losses from native
grasshoppers can be prevented.
This work includes plans of op-
Grafton for all the year around.
Just now is the time to disc the
alfalfa fields, destroying the
grasshopper eggs and increas-
ing the yield of alfalfa.
Grasshoppers bred in mac
cessable places are poisoned lat-
er with poison bran mash. One
application will poison about
half of the grssshoppers and the
second does about three-fourths
of the remainder. These grass
hoppers are born, bred, and die
on the same farm. A continu-
GUS campaign of this kind will
prevent their appearance in de-
structive members. Grasshop-
pers, like weeds must be recon-
ed with in successful crop pro-
duction.
. Prof. S. J. Hunter, State En-
tomologist for the Southera
half of ihe state, is now organiz-
ing his forces for the work this
: season. The County Commiss.
/. toner's in nine counties furnished
! the poison last season and the
/ University men directed its ap'
! plication and recorded its results.
: The County commissioners OF
: this county, as shown by this
report, co-operated in this coun-
, ty by furnishing $500 pounds OF
, Paris Green and 5 tons of bran.
Mr.. p. w. Classen, Assistant
: State EntomologIst, is now in the
, western part OF the state and
, will be here in few days to con-
, fer with those interested. Any
one desiring copy of this report
can obtain it by ADDRESSING Prof.
Hunter, at the University, Law
rence.

Additional Candidates

A number of new candidates
have their announcements in to-
days News. Some on the Del
cratic ticket and others on the
Republican ticket.
The first to announce this
week is L. A, Krisle, OF Fowler,
who is a candidate on the Demo
cuatic ticket for Sheriff. Lem,
as he is better known, is a life
long Democrat and an old set
tier in Meade county. During
Sheriff Martins first term Mr..
Krisle served as deputy sheriff
from Fowler, and was offered
the place the second time, but
owing to his connection with the
Farmers Elevator, conld not ac-
cept. If nominated and elected,
he will make an excellent official.
The next to bring in an an
nouncement, was w. Il. Gray,
our present Register of Deeds,
who is a candidate for reelection
to that Office, on the Republican
! ticket. Mr.. Gray has certainly
served the people honestly and
faithfully during his time IN Of
fee and if again elected, will con-
tinue to conduct the affairs of
his Office in a creditable manner
both to himself and to the peo-
pie of Meade county.
Ira Scott is another Republl-
can candidate who is announcing
for the Office of Register OF
Deeds, subject to the will of the
Republican voters at the August
primary. Mr.. Scott is well
known in Meade county, having
resided here since 1890. He has
always been a loyal supporter of
the Republican cause, and is now
asking the support of his friends
in that party. He IS qualified
20 fiji the Office should he re-
ceiye the nomination and be
elected.
M. C. Read, formerly engaged
in the Grocery business in this
city. is a candidate for the same
Office and upon the same ticket.
He. like the candidates before
mentioned, needs no lntroduc.
ton to our people. He is well
qualified and deserving OF his
party's support

years with diabetes and one year

Since then her decline was grad.

seemed to fall asleep and there
was no perceptible change IN her

STATE OF KANSAS,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
PROCLAMATION

One of the principal causes of economic waste in
the United States has been the destruction OF proper
ty by fire. The annual fire loss in this country has
averaged about two hundred twenty-five million dol
lars in Kansas the annual loss has been about mill
ion dollars. The number of fires reported IN the
state since the establishment of state fire marshal
department. April l, 1913 to January l, 1914, is 2345
and the loss resulting therefrom is $3193,33
1t may be claimed that this loss was covered
by insurance, but when It is remembered that the IN
surance companies must be reimbursed by the policy
holders it that finally the people pay for the
loss and waste. An efficient cooperation between
the people, their fire officials, and the insurance com
panies would not only greatly reduce the burden OF
fire loss tselfto say nothing of the lives that might
be saved thereby-but would also substantial
reduction in the insurance rates throughout the state
To this end, therefore, l, George H. Hodges,
Governor of Kansas do hereby designate, Friday,
the 18th day of April 1914, Fire Prevention Day.
and most heartily recommend to those in charge of
public and private buildings to all the people of the
state, whether or not they be of perishable
property that on that day they make special effort
to prevent future fires by careful inspection of the
property and premises they occupy caretakers,
owners or tenants, and by removing all useless and
cOmbustible materials thererom; that the civil officers
of the state and the various municipalities call public
attention to the benefit and necessity of more
methodical watchfuness in the matter OF hre preven
tom and that all the school authorities of the state
both public and private, shall that day conduct
such exercises will impress the Importance OF fire
prevention on both teachers and pupils and shall
continue at stated times to conduct proper FIRE drills
as heretofore. And urge all other civic organiza
tons to lend their hearty moral support to this i'm
portant form of conservation of our resources.
In witness whereof, have hereunto set
my hand and caused to be affixed the
Great Seal of the State, at the Capt.
to, in the city of Topeka, this 25th
day of March, A. D., 1914.
Signed GEO. H. HODGES,
Governor.

ALL KANSAS
CHURCH DAY
Next Sunday VIII Be Observed
For Benefit Of The Kansas
Public Schools

Last Sunday was observed as
"Go to Church Day" in Meade,
next Sunday, April 5th, will be
observed as an "All Kansas
School and Church Day" and
will be so observed by every
achurchin Meade county, having
services upon that day. Our
County Superintendent has been
assured by each of the ministers
that special sermon in the in
terest of education will be de-
livered.
The thought is that these SER
vices will be in the nature of a
plea from every pulpit in the
state on behalf of the Public
Schools. There are days for
colleges and for the graduates of
all schools, but this day is to be
made day for the public schools
themselves-for their better or
ganization, finer equipment, and
to advocate needed Legislation to
the end that Kansas may ad-
vance her rank from that OF
twenty-fourth in the union Of
states. Since Friday, April10th
is the day for the Annual Meet
ings in fully 5000 school dist
riots in Kansas, it will be pro
pitious time to speak for the
welfare of the schools.

Barrett For Congress

Another congressional an
nouncement appearing in this
issue of The News, is that of
William Barrett. of, Pratt. Mr..
Barrett has lived in this district
for more than thirty years. He
has twice served in the Leglsla-
ture from Pratt county. He
was the first and only democrat
who ever had the honor of rep
resenting that county IN the leg
islature. He is a thorough Kan
san, has experienced the early
trials and dlsappointments of
frontier life, and while his de-
mocracy never wavered when
the state polled $4,000 republic
can majority, neither did his
faith in the ultimate glory and
triumph of Kansas, falter for a
single moment. He knows the
Seventh Districtlike book, and
understands it's needs and its
people. If nominated and elect
ed. Mr.. Barrett will make a
Congressman to be proud of, and
will be a great improvement
over Neeley.

At this time the preparation
Of the seed bed for corn and sor-
ghums should have been in prog.
ress for months past, both in
the eastern and western parts
of the state. In fact, the time
to commence such preparation
| is the fall, whether it be by list
ing, disking, or blowing. Some
of the preparation is still'to be
done, however, and 1t is well to
review at this time what has
been done, why 1t has been done,
what still remains to be done,
and why certain practices are
desirable.
The following program for the
April monthly meetings OF all

that there will be large attend
ance to discuss these fundamen-
tai questions.

Special Correspondence
Topeka, Kansas March, 30.


Topeka Hospitals to the new
Insane Hospital at Larned.
This new institution has been
built this year under Democratic
ad administration, and by opening
it to the patients the congested
condition will be relieved. The
Board of Control is to be congra-
tulated on having built sufficient
parts of these institutions for
the handling of patients. 1t is
all the more to be ommended
when it is remem bered that the
money for the Larned Hospital
was first appropriated in 1911,
but because of the lack of funds
the Stubbs ad dministration would
not permit the Board TO begin
work on this institution. 1t is
only another example of thebusi-
ness administration the people
now have.
Governor Hodges is pointing
out to the people of Kansas that
an immense amount of money
amount to millions of dollars is
squandered every year on the
highways of the state because
there is no scientific system of
road making if vogue. In line
with his policy in other matters,
he proposes a state highway
commission composed of three
men who shall have charge Of the
road making of the state. These
men are to serve without a stated
salary and are to be paid only
their actual expenses. The
commission plan seems about to
be the only way to get efficiency

affairs
7 Once a week regularly sew
eral candidates for state
Offices on the Republican ticket
this year hold caucus in one of
the principal Offices in the build
ing. 1t is sort of ways and
means committee. At these
meetings some story is concoct'
ed with which to attack the
Hodges ad ministration, and in
day or so it appears over the
signature of the mythical RE
blican State Central Commit
tee" So far these stories have
fallen fiat. First, they tried the
tariff and pointed to the importa-
tion of Argentine meat and eggs
and sent out the the alarm that
the price of Kansas beef and eggs
was sure to fall, but it was point
: ed out that all the meat and eggs
imported in month would not
, furnish more than one good meal
for the people of New York.
The committee was laughed at.
then they dug up lot of dope on
the mum ber of state employees
: and let poor Bob Stone explode it,
But when it was shown that
Stone wasn't even familiar with
r his own political record in the
last legislature, that fell fat.
The next thing was an attack on
the Board of Control, but that fail
: ed to attract attention. The attack
on the Board of Educational
Administration has been made
ridiculous by the undisputed
! success with which the big
educational institutions are being
{ managed. Than they sent up
, Macedonian cry because as a
) result of destructive five the
penitentiary broad has had to
borrow $4,000 to carry that
institution through the fiscal
