KANSASAND NEWS
A. j. Carruth, Jr., of the State
Journal Today
Delivers an Address Before
X. S. A. C. Students.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 23.-Kansas
is rich not only as producer OF news,
but also as a producer of newspaper
men, according to A j. Carruth Jr,
of the Topeka State Journal, who
spoke before the students of the Kan
sas State Agricultural college here to-
day Mr.. Carruth pointed out that no
other state has so many newspaper
men of nationwide reputation.
This state first raises crop OF
wheat, then opens the gate ana turns
loose her reporters to tell about 1T,
he said. when the press of the east
is not loaded down with tales OF what
Kansas is doing, the columns are well
filled with what Kansas is going to 40.
If that runs out-well, of course there
is always plenty to say about what
Kansas has done.
For freshness, originality, human
interest and wholesome reading, there
is nothing better for the aspiring jour
naIist to study than the Kansas news.
paper Spread between your slices of
metropolitan bread a thick layer OF the
Kansas language and you have a sand
witch that will appeal to the palate OF
the most particular eastern editor.
Mr.. Carruth made a plea to the stu
dents to eliminate fine writing from
their copy" asserting that newspaper
readers desire simplicity.
Magazine and literary ambitions
have ruined thousands of good re-
porters," he continued. THE new re-
porter must observe two vital rules of
the newspaper office-simplicity and
accuracy. People don't subscribe to
the newspaper for literary enlighten-
ment. The man who hangs to a street
car strap with one hand, grasps
pound of butter and the evening paper
in the other does not, and will not,
wade through three inky sticks of
rythmical writing in order to discover
who saved the superintendent's daugh-
ter from the burning factory.
Reporters who desire. to make the
newspaper office their stepping stone
to fiction writing should realize that
the dressing bears no relationship to
the white meat in the journalistic tur-
key. The dressing should be available,
but only in cases where the headline
consumers have the inclination to ask

LIGHT PLANTS ON FARMS.
Use of Electricity Economical and
Safe in Country.


Manhattan, Kan, Nov 2S.-Use OF
electricity on the farm for the sake OF
convenience, safety, and comfort, is
urged by c.. B. McNair, instructor IN
electrical engineering in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
Twelve years ago farm lighting
plants were a novelty; today they are
rapidly growing in popularity, says
Mr.. McNair.
'"They are usually operated by
gasoline engine but in the eastern
states. and especially in the Appa-
lachian mountains, 1t is not uncom-
mon to see water power used for TINS
purpose. Where the people have wa
ter power, the storage battery is not
used
I'm every state where farmers care
at all for convenience, one will find a
number of lighting plants. Some
farmers prefer the blaugas, acetylene,
or gasoline lighting systems so that
they may utilize the heat, but there IS
a certain element of danger in using
these systems.
1.-The farmer finds the electric light
a safe and convenient light for his
barn He uses the engine to charge
the storage batteries while it is being
used for such work as pumping and
feed cutting. Electricity on the farm
is coming more and more to be con-
sidered a necessity for the comfort of
living as much as good water and
good stock

Sons of Graham County Farmer Make
Success in First Venture.

Hill City, Kan, Nov. 23.-The three
young sons of ]. A. Mccoy of Ora
ham county deserve encoura cement.
This wear they started out to farm on
a small scale for themselves. The
father gave them the use of the
teams and furnished the seed to SOW
so acres of wheat.
The boys found the land, renting it
from the owner for two-thirds of the
crop The crop yielded good, and
after delivering the rental, the boys
had enough left to pay for the land
besides 5000 left over to cover all ex-
penses.

prosperity in their first venture that

Wake up feeling fine! Best lax
alive for men, women
and children.

Enjoy lifei Remove the liver and
bowel poison which is keeping your
head dizzy, your tongue coated, breath
offensive, and stomach sour. Don't
stay bilious, sick. headachy, consti-
pated and full of cold. Why don't you
get a box of Cascarets from the drug
store and eat one or two tonight and
enjoy the incest, gentlest liver and
bowel cleansing you ever experienced.
You will wake up feeling fit and fine.
Cascarets never grippe or sicken like
salts, pills and calomel. They act so
gently that you hardly realize you
have taken a cathartic. Mothers
should give cross, sick, bilious or few
erish children a whole Cascaret any
time-they act thoroughly and are
harmless.

Athol, Kan, Nov. 23.-There is talk
of recognizing the commercial club.
The town is one of the best centers
of trade in Smith county, and one of
the retired farmers living here says the
farmers of Smith county are making
more good money than any other class
of people in the county, including the
business men.
Among the improvements contem-
plated is the building of a new ele-
vator, making three for the town. The
Farmers union has the matter under
advisement, with prospects of its early

scene, having been sent home
from school, and her fare having
been paid By young man whom
she meets by chance. She is in
the costume of a young lady, but
the mother insists that she get
back into her short dresses. so as
not to give her older sisters the
appearance OF too much age.
Then the young man who has
has aided her in returning home,
surprised at her appearance in
short skirts. demands an explain
alton. Mci gives it, and he
promises to find husbands for
the elder sisters, his reward be.
ing kiss for each husband.
This brings about complica-
tons. naturally, but the three
sisters are married Off Then
