FINE PROGRAM is PROMISED
January Meeting of State Board of
Agriculture viii Be Interesting,
Says Secretary Mohler-

The forty-fourth annual meeting of
the Kansas Board of Agriculture will
be held at Topeka, January 1915,
next. The program is now taking
shape, and it can be definitely an
nounced that Secretary Houston, OF
the United States Department of
Agriculture, will be present Thursday
afternoon, January IA, and make an
address on What the United States
Department of Agriculture is Doing
for American Agriculture"
President Waters, of the State Agri-
cultural college, will address the
meeting also, Wednesday evening, the
18th, telling about his trip to the
Philippines last summer. His re-
marks will be illustrated with stere-
opticon. DR.. Waters was commission
ed by the federal government to study
the educational systems and agricul-
tura1 resources of the Philippines, and
presumably what he has to say will
be based on his investigation. DIR.
Waters needs no introduction to a
Kansas audience. He is always worth
hearing.
Referring to the forthcoming meet
ing, Secretary Mohler said he wished
to have the public informed that this
program is prepared for the benefit
of all Kansans, and that the sessions
are open to everybody.

The water drips down over the cooler

WORKING WITH DULL TOOLS.

I criticized a carpenter working for
me recently for using dull tools. He
excused himself by saying that he had
been too busy to sharpen them. He
had been working for weeks with
dull saw and with a plane which had
notches in it, leaving ugly ridges on
the boards he was planning. This man
had probably wasted more time in
working with dull tools than it would
have taken to sharpen them several
times, to say nothing of the inferior
work he was turning out
There are multitudes OF people who
never do good work because they
never prepare for 1t, never put them
selves in a position to do good work
they never sharpened their tools;
never trained themselves for it. and
they go through life botching their
Jobs
Every youth should put himself In
superb condition to make his life a
success. He should prepare himself
to do the best work of which he is
capable.
One great reason why so many
people make botches of their lives Is
because they didn't start right, they
never learned their life trade 1t
does not matter what youth decides
to do In life, he should endeavor to
be an expert in it, an artist instead

sUccULENcE IN THE WINTER
Gives Right Tone to Cows Digestive
System to Bring Its Efficiency
Up to Paying Point.

Corn silage should be a predominant
ing factor in the winter ration. There
is nothing superior to water enclosed
in plant cells to give the ration the
consistency agreeable to the COW, and
best suited to promote her health and
vigor 1t is not the amount the COW
digests that wholly determines the re-
turns from her feed, but the amount
that is built into body tissues and
made into milk.
Succulent feed gives just the right
tone to the animals digestive system
to bring its efficiency up to the limit of
profitable production. If, therefore.
there is one quality in feed which is
more important than another, it is that
1t should be palatable and juicy. 1t
enables the cows to eat, digest and
assimilate larger quantities of other
feed There is little danger of cows
going off feed when they are eating
liberal quantities of roots or corn 81

The Blind Need Windows.

Light has use, even If men cannot
or will not see it. Baring-Gould tells
of an institution for the blind that
was built in England without win

should we provide windows for those
that cannot see out of them" So
scientific ventilation and heating were
provided, but the walls were left I'M
pierced by any pane of glass. But
soon the poor inmates grew pale, and
a great languor fell upon them. They
fell sick, and one or two died Then
1t was that the committee decided to
open windows in the walls. In came
the healing light, and the human
plants responded to 1t at once in re-
vived spirits, rudy cheeks and re-

Dairying is the best paying factor in

BENEFIT TO STATE

LAWRENCE lSzET FAv0Rs 1T
Proposed Mill Tax Would Provide
Permanent Income for State
Educational Institutions.

That Kansas and her schools would
profit by the adoption of mill tax
amendment to the state constitution
was the unanimous opinion of the stu
dents and alumni who attended the
recent mill tax convocation at the uni
versity in Lawrence.
Hugh t. Fisher of Topeka, E. E.
Stauffer and Sherman Elliott, mem
bers-elect of the legislature, and Chan
celIor Strong, the speakers who ad-
dressed the joint meeting of the coun-
ty club organizations, formed by the
students from practically every coun-
ty in the state, pointed out:
That the direct tax of a fraction of
a mill on all the property of the state
would benefit the institutions because
it would make their income perma-
nent.
That it would enable the schools
to plan for the future as they can not
do under a hand-to-mouth policy.
That it would benefit the state be-
cause it would build up better insti-
buttons of which the state can be
proud and from which it would reap
the greatest benefit in direct and in
direct service.
That it would relieve the legisla
ture of a burden which, with the short
biennial session and the manifold
business to be handled, it might well
dispense with.

as the valuation of the state increases

HAS SEEN A LIGHT
Amos Pinchot a Much DisiIIu-
stoned Man.
With Former Governor HadIey of Mis-
souri, He Has Come to Realize the
HoIlowness of Progressive
Party Claims.

Amos Pinchot is disillusioned. He
has discovered the clay feet of his
idol He makes one of a large and
dour company.
Mr.. Pinchot confessed in frank and
manly fashion. He believed at the
start implicitly in the party called
Progressive and its leader. In his
minds eye he saw new era dawn
ing Wrongs were to be righted. Old
policies were to be abandoned, and
new policies adopted. Special priv
ilege was to die the death. Larger
opportunities for alI-even the hum
blest-were to be established.
The presence of certain trusts near
the throne disquieted Mr.. Pinchot. He
could not associate them with the fine.
new, rosy and yirtuous purpose What
did their presence near the throne
mean? What did it foreshadow?
In order to be sure, Mr.. Pinchot
wrote to Mr.. Roosevelt, putting the
matter plainly. In reply he received
what must have affected him as re-
| buke. Mr.. Roosevelt did not share
In Mr.. Pinchot's uneasiness. The Pro-
gressive movement to be successful
must be practical; must appeal to
and have the support of practical men
Let not Mr.. Pinchot's heart be trou-
| bled. Mr.. Perkins was a friend, not
an enemy.
| But Mr. Pinchot was not assured
| His doubts increased, until he is now
convinced, not only of the misman-
agement of the Progressive cause. but
that the Progressive party is done
| for.
Mr. Pinchot is a man of ability and
| observation, and the wonder is he did
not earlier get wise" to the real sit
uation. There were men as ardent as
he for certain reforms in public poll
| cies, but never for a moment in doubt
about the influences controlling Mr.
Roosevelt in his assaults on the party
which had made him and the men
who had lifted him from helplessness
to power. They saw that the pro
gressivism of Mr. Roosevelt was but
a bid for a return to the White

to DO anything else. and this was
about the only thing they could do
without preparation
How often we see men who spend
most of their lives as day laborers
working on the street, on railroads
and ships. on farms, in all sorts of
places. where they get only very small
wages, who have the natural ability
to do something infinitely better and
to earn many times as much money,
but they never learned to do anything
in particular. and SO they drifted into
the only positions they could fill with
out special preparation
On the other hand, there are q
great many who are in a position to
prepare for their chosen lifework, who
destroy all their chances of success
by OVERRIDING or by neglecting the
laws of health. Through ignorance,
indifference or carelessness their fac
ulties, their tools, are so dulled that
they are unable to do what they long
to.
How often we see young people
starting in life with great ambitions
to make a place for themselves in
the world and to do something worth
while, and yet they are running the pos
| portant by ignoring the laws of health,
in all sorts of ways lowering their
| physical standards, devitalizing them
| selves SO that they do not have suffi-
cient force for any great accomplish
ment- The very thing that they are
most dependent upon for attaining
tkoir object, strong and vigorous vi
| tally, they sacrifice.
One can accomplish wonderful
things with no other capital than ro-
| bust health and the determination to
make something of oneself. but no
matter how much ambition one has,
If he devitalizes himself, If he ruins
his health by vicious habits, devital-
ICES himself by an abnormal or irregu-
lar life, he knows that his only chance
of accomplishing anything very impor.
tant Is gone.
Everything a man does gravitates
to his physical condition. All of his
physical defects, physical weaknesses
will reappear in whatever he does, and
his mental condition will always har
monte with his physical state.
Plenty of good people who are cap
able of doing good work do very pool
work because they do not keep them
selves in a condition to bring out the
best thing that is in them. Unless &
man has kept his tools sharp, KEEP
himself at the top of his condition, the
best that is in him will not RESPOND
to his efforts. He may be satisfied
with even a second or third best
his physical standards are down, if b.
is devitalized by violating the law
of existence or by irregularities O
! living.
, The stream cannot rise higher thai
its fountain head. If the physical cor
dition is low, if one is devitalized, hi
ambition suffers, his ideals are cloudy
his energies lag, his work is poor.

The plan outlined by Judge Flannel
ly was followed with but little mod1-
fcation. The economy of the rece1v-

gas supply, SO severely tested by the

1y to continue the present receiversh1p
to such time as the affairs of the COM
pany may be adjusted with view to
good service, a conservation of the
property and protection to creditors.
Judge Flannelly's receivers for the
Wyandotte County Gas Company have
so improved service and diminished
expenses approximately $4,000 per
Year, that the receivership at the re-
quest of all interested parties will be
continued as long as it is deemed
