HOME FOR SHORT VISIT

Representative Fred Zutavern
came in from Topeka the first of
The week for a short visit with
home folks and his many friends,
and left on Monday to resume his
duties in the state legislature,
stopping at Hutchinson to attend
to some duties relative to one Of
the committees of which he is a
member. AT the last session
when Fred was new to the legiS-

what and let the other fellows
take the lead, except when they
were inclined to lead in some di-
rectiOn which he did not think
was for The best interests of The
people. His experience during
the last term has proven to be of
great value and this year he is
one of the influential members of

LET'S HAVE THE WHITE WAY

The proposition of a White
Way for Great Bend still seems
to be a case of possibly having
this improvement in the far dis
tant future. The city commits
Sioners and the light company
are still at a considerable differ
ence of opinion as to what the
current should be worth and this
seems to be the main stumbling
block in the way of the success
full completion of the enterprise.
The superintendent of the light
cOmany insists that the rate Of
fered is as low as the current can
be furnished for, and the city Of
ficiaIS say that it is more than
they can afford to pay or than is
paid by other towns in the same
class as Great Bend. In the mean
time other towns are going ahead
and putting in this great improve
ment and if Great Bend is not
careful she will, in this matter,
be left at the rear end of the pro-
ceSSion. 1t is possible that con-
ceSSionS could be made by both
the city officials and the light
company, and if such is the case
the matter should be settled as
soon as possible and the White
Way installed without delay. 1t
is an improvement which the
town needs and needs badly.

NEED MORE LAND

NEED NUKE LAND
Kansas has played The waiting
policy too long. This with res
pect to the purchase of land for
the use of the Manhattan Agricul-
iural Experiment station. This
growing institution has for years
needed more land and has been
renting nearby tracts off and on
HE Iasl len years. That land
would ultimately have to be
bought or the usefulness of The
institution curtaiIed has for many
years been apparent. There was
a time when all the needed land
convenient TO the station could
have heen bought at a low price
at a figure much lower than at
present and lower than il will
ever again be. To do agricultural
and animal husbandry work
worth while requires land and the
legislature should at this session
provide for The purchase of such
land as is necessary 10 enable the
station TO do the work the farm
eES Of Kansas expect of it and
such rs will meet The rapidly
growing need of the agricultural
and live stock industries of the

StiItltl0n are frequently criticised
becat:Se their live stock is kept un-

diliOns which are moi parallel with
those existing on the average Kan
SaS farm. The methods employed
in Ihe Keeping of live stock at the
Manhattan station are not imprac-
ticaI SuEfar as the situation exist

The station is demonstrating how
a maximum of live stock can be
1naintained on a small acreage and
thc methods employed are thor
UushFy practical. The great mass
OF farmers in the state have not

is necessary to maintain The herd
on cramped quarters. 1t is deSir-
able that the station be permitted
to demonstrate the most ecOnom-
ic;tt and profitable methods of an
lnal huSbandry under those con-
dlllonS of land and feed crops
which apply to. The average Kan
SaS farm as il now is. Under the
present circumstances the station
must buy much high-priced feed
because the herds cannot be main
talned on grass and coarse forage
crops through the lack of land on
which to grow these. Such ele.
ment of impracticability as enters
INTO The work of the station in the
above respects is in no sense the
fault OF station management, buI
is due to The penuriOuS attitude Of

Keep Out of War, They Say.
But Stop Interference
With Cotton.

HOUSTON, Texas, Aug, G.-De-
clairing that England has perverted
her revolutionary principle of taxa
ton without representation to a new
area preccpt of "confiscation without
Justification" that the doctrine Of
freedom of the seas and unrestricted
trade between neutral nations is rec
ognized by the world as a funda-
mental principle Of international
law. that England is now threatening
to declare cotton contraband of war,
and has in the past seized many car
goes on this preteNt; and that the
farmers of the United states lost
more than $iO0, 000, 600 on account of
of the low prices of cotton last year,
due primarily to the interfering with
trade with neutral countries, the
Texas Farmers union in their thir-
tecnth annual convention today
adopted a resolution commencing
President Wilson for his earnest eff
fort to keep out Of conflict, but at
the same time demanding protection
to their shipping.
In addressing the president of the
United States and the cabinet, the
Texas Farmers union calls close at
tentiOn to the fact that they indOrse
the efforts Of the country leaders in
remaining out of the war. but that
they realize that peace without honor
may come a shame and humiliation.
On this ground. and because of the
salient facts outlined above, the reso-
luton demands that the farmers of
the south be protected against the
unwarranted interference with their
shipments of cotton to neutral coun-
tries and urge the president and
cabinet that all countries now at war
be notified that this government will
permit no further interference with
its trade with neutral COMMITTEES"
