Tribute 10 the Memory
of Wayne Kendall.

On the morning of February |, 1915,
death entered the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM Kendall, taking their oldest child
Mayme.
TOO fair for earth, she passed from our
gray wintery skies,
TO dwell in Paradise"
When in the course of human events
it becomes necessary for us to submit to
the Power that is, even when our hearts
are torn and crushed, let us not forget
there is comfort and consolation in the
Divine and lie doeth all things for the
best
We know the family and her most in
innate associates feel that life will never
mean so much as before, but Gods
grace is sufficient, and we should take
cheer and be inspired by the influence Of
this lovely Christian character, who has
SO nobly asserted herself for good
Death can never kill that which never
dies, and this is the comfort of Mayme's
friends for it can truly be said of her
that her friendship and society shall al
ways linger in our memories because it
is immortal.
Let the incessant patience, which she
so cheerfully assumed under the most
agonizing circumstances, her nobleness
of purpose, her kind sweet disposition,
| inspire us to better manhood and woman
hood and give us more profound con-
ception of what it means to live unto an
end. For, so often during her illness
she would say: "If it is Gods will
am ready"
While the halo of sorrow may hover
itself around us and cast a gloom over
our hearts, let it not shadow our hopes,
nor discourage our integrity, for we are
comforted by the solace of that religion
which gave her sweet submission to His
will.
She professed faith i'll God when quite
young, and united with the Sandy Hill
Baptist church, to which she was a
ways loyal.
A beautiful and impressive service
was held in Irvington Baptist church by
her pastor, Rev. Rogers, OF Louisville,
Ky, where her many friends and rcla-
tives had assembled to pay their last
honors to this fair young life which
death had cut down as she was bloom
ing into womanhood.
The snowy casket, symbol of her pure
life, Was covered with wealth of beau,
tiful flowers, tributes from dear friends
and relatives.
The interment was in Cedar Hill
cemetery.

hogs. Special tank cars were also pro
vided for the transportation of both

Makes Prize Winners.
At a great barbecue on the Owens
boro Fair Grounds last May, attended
by 10000 farmers and feeders. there
were on exhibition scores of fine hogs
fattened on distillers' dried grains and
slops, and many cash prizes were
awarded Officials from the agricul-
tural department of the State and Fed
eral Government were present and
made addresses on the proper care
and feeding of hogs and the proven
ton of cholera. Specimens of distil-
lers' dried grains and Stops from va
rious distilleries were also on exhibit
ton and their respective food value
were explained by experts.
Fattens Quickly.
One of the greatest advantages in
feeding distillers' dried grain is the
fact that nothing is lost. The distil-
lers remove only the mountaineering
portions of the grain, leaving an aver
age of 40 per cent of protein, which
is the element required to fatten
stock. 1t has been supposed by many
people that the best way to fatten a
hog is to feed hard corn. But corn
in the natural state yields about 10
per cent of protein, as much of 1t
passes through the animal undigested.
Distillers dried grains therefore pos
sess about three times the fattening
properties of natural corn. By feed
ing these dried grains with alfalfa,
clover or other green stuffs, hogs fat
ten quicker and better than by the use
of corn alone and at very much less
cost

of ricn farmers who made their money
out of hogs. They feed the raw grain
to the pOrker and sell him at the
highest price in the biggest markets
of the country. They have no such
advantages as the Kentucky farmer
has. AT our very doors, and at a
much lower cost than corn the Iowa
and Indiana farmer feeds, we have the
feed that will produce the best pork
in the world.
The Farmers Opportunity.
The greatest single industry in Ken
lucky is its distilleries. This industry
pays more taxes for the maintenance
Of the State than all other manufac-
turing industries combined. Thou
sands of tons OF Stops containing nu-
tritious, fat-producing elements are
dumped into the waste neap simply be-
cause Kentucky feeders have not
walked up to their opportunity. A com
paratively small portion of this by
product is dried and shipped to Eu-
rope to be used as dairy feed and for
fattening hogs.
But why ship any of these dried
grains to Denmark and Holland when
we can use them here at home up to
the full capacity of every distillery in
the State, thereby increasing the prof
it's of hog-raising and adding many
millions of dollars annually to the
wealth of the farmers of the state.
Cheaper Feed Than Corn.
Farmers should sell the corn they
raise at the high price it usually
brings and buy for less money! more
and better feed in the form of disti-
lers' dried grains. By doing this they
can fatten more hogs at less cost and
sell them in the market for larger
profits. 1t is simple business propc-
sition that should not be overlooEc
by the farmer.

Officially Tested Out.

The official tests of this feed have
been very satisfactory in every way.
1t has the stamp of approval of the
best chemists in the agricultural
world. Men from experiment stations
who know all about food values of diff
ferent grains and foods have given 1t
the highest recommendation.
The richest agricultural States in
the Union are those which lead in hog
production. Iowa, with its vast field
of corn; Illinois, Missouri and Indiana
in the order named, have thousands

D0DCINC The LAW
Somebody Has Been Selling
Morphine Illegally in Topeka.
DIR. jeffrey Is Treating Victim
of Drug Habit.

Startling evidence that Topeka
| druggist is dealing out narcotics to
dope fiends of the city through
fences" was unearthed Thursday
evening by DR.. A B. Jeffrey, when the
physician answered a call for treat
ment from a woman in North Topeka
Dr. Jeffrey found the woman to be
a dope fiend. She has used morphine
/ for several years. In her possession
/ the physician found one of the most
1ngenlously constructed hypodermlc
/ syr1nges that has been displayed at
the police station for years. The
syringe is constructed on a medicine
dropper with a hollow needle cement
ed to the mouth. The woman had
been using this because she feared
discovery of her habit should she try
to purchase a hypodermic syringe.
A story of obtaining the dope from
| fences" who she said obtained their
supply from a local druggist was told
by the woman.
Her Condition PiGful.
DR.. Jeffrey found her condition pit
iful. He took the ease before Mayor
j. E. House and Commissioner w. l..
Porter and the three are furnishing
the money to treat her. She is being
kept at the police station. She is
about thirty years of age. A nurse is
being furnished by the physician and
the city officials.
The clothing of the woman speaks
of refinement. She told DR.. Jeffrey
that her husband was out of the city.
Lately she has made frequent trips to
Kansas City to pawn jewelry to get
money to buy the dope.

"Thar way!" he indicated, leaping
back to the running board.
We piled back into the car and pro-
ceeded under Kennedy's direction, as
fast as he would permit. So it con-
tinued, perhaps for couple of hours.
At last Kennedy stopped the cab
into an open space that looked partic-
ularly lonesome. Near it stood one
story brick factory building, closed,
but not abandoned.
AS I looked about at the unattrac-
tive scene, Kennedy already was down
on his knees in the dirt again, study
ing the tire tracks. They were all
confused, showing that the taxicab
we were following had evidently
backed in and turned several times
before going on.
Crossed by another set of tire
tracks," he exclaimed excitedly,
studying closer. "That must have
been the limousine, waiting"
Laboriously he was following the
course Of the cars in the open space,
when one word escaped him, Foot
prints!"
He was up and off in moment, be-
fore we could imagine what he was
after. We had got out of the cab,
and followed him as, down to the
very shore of a sort Of cove or bay,
he went. There lay a rusty. discard
ed boiler on the beach, half sub
merged in the rising tide. At this
tank the footprints seemed to go
right down the sand and into the
waves, which we're slowly obliterating
them. Kennedy gazed out as IL to
make out a possible boat on the hori-
zon where the cove widened out.
"Look!" I cried.
Further down the shore, few feet,
l had discovered the same prints, go
ing in the opposite direction, back to-
ward the place from which he had
just come. I started to follow them,
but soon found myself alone. Ken
nedy had paused beside the old boiler.

steps.

behind Kennedy with a blackjack. AS
the heavy weight descended Craig
crumpled up on the ground uncon-
scious.
With scream, Elaine turned and
started to run. But the chauffeur
seized her arm.
"Say, bo," he asked of the rough fell

studying the marks made by the tire
of the Clutching Hand cab.
More slowly now and carefully, we
proceeded, for a mistake meant losing
the trail of Elaine.
We came to another crossroads and
the driver glanced at Craig. "Stop!"
he ordered.
In another instant he was down in

Kennedy turned to her, apparently
not half so much concerned about the
automatic that yawned at him as
about the anxiety of the pretty girl
who had interviewed. The too eager

if only half comprehending.
(Which way did the big car go?" re-
peated Kennedy.
The hobo approached the taxicab
sullenly, as if he had grudge against
cars in general.
One question after another elected
little that could be construed as intel
ligence. If Craig had only been able
to see, he would have found out that,
with his back toward the taxicab
driver, the hobo held one hand behind
him and made the sign of the Clutch
ing Hand, glancing surreptitiously at
the driver to catch the answering sign,
while Craig gazed earnestly up the
two roads.
At last Craig gave him up as hope
less. "Well-go ahead-that way" he
indicated, picking the most likely road.
As the chauffeur was about to start
he stalled his engine.
"Hurry!" urged Craig, exasperated
at the delays.
The driver got out and tried to crank
the engine. Again and again he turned
it over, but somehow it refused to
start. Then he lifted the hood and be-
gan to tinker.
What's the matter?" asked Craig,
impatiently jumping out and bending
over the engine, too.
The driver shrugged his shoulders.

The Vanishing Jewels.
Banging away at my typewriter the
next day, in Kennedy's laboratory, I
was startled by the sudden, insistent
ringing of the telephone near me.

at work at his table, trying still to ex-
tract some clue from the slender evil
dence thus far elected in the Dodge
