the greatest in the history of the
northwest.
Mr. Benton said that he had been
SO busy helping harvest the big wheat
crop and visiting over the Sixth con-
gressional district that he had not
been in Topeka for some months.
Speaking of his trip over the district,
Mr.. Benton said:
II have been getting acquainted
with my youngest son this summer.
as he has been my driver in going
over the Sixth congressional district.
The main reason for making this pie
liminary campaign quite so early was
so that Harwood. my son, could be
with me and go clear around before
he had to return to college. Do you
know that l believe parents should
get acquainted with their own child
rem? If fathers and mothers would
visit more with their sons and daugh-
tiers; try to remain young and see the
difficult problem that the younger
people have to solve; command their
friendship and confidence, and have a
mutual understanding all the time,
it would go long way toward solving
the child problem which is proving
so troublesome in many ways. L have

state of Kansas is blessed with the
strongest and best prohibitory law in
the union. And all in spite of the
Democratic influence. Also, 1 am in

great union enjoy the same blessings
that Kansas enjoys so that the young

over our fair land may grow into
manhood and womanhood without
the debasing influence of the saloon.
The newspaper boys over the
Sixth congressional district have
been very kind to me. The farmers,
bankers and business men generally
are giving me the warmest possible
support, and | do not think there is
any question about my nomination or
any doubt of the entire success of the
Republican party in the coming cam

Dam the Draws, Plant Trees and
Summer-Fallow.

Mr. G. w. Askew, of Utica, man
of experience in this Western Country
and who has worked hard early and
late, not only for the family support,
but to improve his farm and be of
some benefit to his county, writes as
follows:
81 have been wondering to what ex-
tent the Citizens of this part of the
State where the topography of the
country is such that all of the rain
water sheds off of it, leaving no lakes
or ponds to supply surface water to
assist in creating atmospheric hu-
Nudity, have been taking advantage
of the road law enacted last winter;
providing for the building of dams in
the place of erecting bridges and cul-
yerts. Also what disposition the COM
missioners made of the almost unan-
imous appeal that went to that Hon.
orable body from this part of the
county to have that law recognized
and enforced.
Twenty-eig years ago / built my
first dam, that has supplied stock
water for our entire bunch many
times, when the wind failed to blow
sufficient to run the pump 1t has
furnished water to irrigate garden and
shrubs at such times as the rain fall
was insufficient and that on more
than one or two occasions as you all
know.
There has been fog risen from this
pond that has protected our fruit and
tender vegetation from late spring
frosts, that killed them in other local
tiles where such protection was lack
ing, and if this work of building dams
was general enough the entire country
would have the same protection which
would insure afruit crop nearly every
year as these late frosts alone are re-
sponsible for the year we fail in fruit.
Nov If this Investment is good for
single purpose why would it not be
worth much more when utilized also
for the best kind of road and the
reasonable results if generally practic-
ed would be on the same principle as
spraying fire with water to put it
out, an amount to show noticae /. re-
suits would be large compared to the
amount that would have to be in
creased to extinguish the fire
Now Jim i hope my continual urg-
ing may not be antagonizing, for the
only solution to eliminate the dryness
and frequency of our dry seasons is
to use artificial means to make our
conditions the same as those further
east where the natural lay of the
country hold sufficient water surface
to supply the atmospheric humidity
to make good seasonable conditions

Sentiment is growing stronger along
these lines every day and now that
the County Commissioners have the
opportunity to promote the work with
out increasing the road expense one
cent, we have a right to expect them
to act promptly and ought to get
wonderful results in the near future.
Wishing for speedy results and the

G.. W. AsKew.
Some people balk at the word Arti-
ficial, and / want to say to Brothe r
Askew that building dams and hold
ing the rain fall. the planting of trees
and growing a grove, Summer-Fal-
lowing and growing wheat, are no
more artificial means, that telling
the timber, preparing the material
and building house. In each instance
Nature furnishes the material and
the opportunity. All man does is to
use them In the one case as much as
the other.

GIVE US MORE LIFE

The social life of a town has much to do with its attractveness as
a place of abode.
If there is always something doing" plenty of variety, outdoor sports
and indoor gatherings, home becomes a real home and there is little in
cenive for young men to stray into foreign fields. The old home town
is attractive to them and they become solid citizens. and as time progresses
they do their utmost to improve local conditions. The population in
creases and prosperity moves steadily onward.
But when the town is dull, life is the same humdrum day by day, and
social gatherings are few and slow, the DubblIng spirit OF youth demands
wider fields and seek, its outlet in the larger cities.
And as they drift away ne by one the town suffers in the vanishing
of many Of its young men Of intellect and promise, the population IS
retarded, people loose their enthusiasm and a veil of Indifference descends
over the community.
Life still remains, but the town in time becomes known a a dead
one"
Give us more life among the young people, and when they become
old they will still be "our people"

U. S. WILL CONTROL DIAMOND UPPLY

The Unred States will have a orne Oh diamonds or years to come.
Information at hand in the British foreign office shows that America
is practically the only country in the world buying diamonds and the
American appetite for them is amazing. Hundreds of thousands OF
sparkers are being exported from Germany to America via Holland.
When wr broke out a Berlin syndicate which bought the bulk Of West
African diamonds had in stock a million and a half carats. These have
been cut at low rates by craftsmen in Belgium and disposed Of almost
wholly tic the United States.
Practically all diamond mines in Africa have closed down, their n
cheering stats have been disabled and their native laborers discharged.
Experts agree that there will be a marked shortage of diamonds after
the var except in America.

MORE THAN PAYING EXPENSES

Counting only the cost of operation, of civil government, sanitary
work and the administration and handling of ships, the Panama canal is
now o a paying basis, according to official reports.
Receipts for May n OF only wiped out the deficit of $393SO which had
grown Up since the opening OF the canal trade, but left a balance of $I7-
7O, which works out a profit of 40 per cent on the expenditures.
This, however, does not make any allowance for interest on the
vast sum expended in the construction o. the canal and from that point
of view, the receiptsfr from tolls have not yet. equaled the expenses.

TO PRODUCE SANITARY MILK
Some old-Fsshioned Farmers Con-
tInue TO Use open PsIl-erush
Cow Thoroughly Daily.

Only those back-number farmers who
either fail TO profit by the lessons
taught in producing sanitary milk, or
who have never learned such lessons,
continue TO milk in the old-fashioned,
open pail, into which falls filth from
the cows TANKS, and which allows the
milk to absorb all the doors that sur.
round II.
BY the use OF sanitary milk pals,
dirt can be kept out Of the milk, and
that is the main thing.
II is much easier to produce pure
milk by keeping the dirt out Of II than
to attempt TO take II out after II has
fallen in.
But the sanitary milk pail alone will
not give us clean milk. The cows must
be thoroughly brushed every day, and
their udders washed and dried just be-
fore milking. The milking must be
done in absolutely clean sheds. or In
the open, preferably on a grass plot,
and the milk removed to a clean
house, where It can be quickly cooled.
One Of these things is good enough
in its way. but all must be observed
