DEMANDS Are ABSURD
Railroad Official So CharacteFi1es Plea
Of Enginemen.

Chicago, Feb. 20.-How in certain
instances the demands OF western en-
gineers and firemen being arbitrated
here, would run into absurd figures
was pointed out at the arbitration pro-
ceedings today by w. Trenholm, gen.
eral manager Of the Chicago. st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha. In his figures,
Mr.. Treholm considered the new rates
of pay requested and the demands for
automatic release, pay for preparatory
time, initial and final terminal delay.
and all elements involved in the de-
mands.
He first cited a run Of six trains be-
tween Elmira and Riverside, Ia, on
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
whereby the application OF all the
rules and rates demanded an en-
gineer now earning &6.22a for eight
hours work would receive $34 and his
fireman $22. Another Rock Island
crew, running between Cameron
Junction, Mo-, and Leayenworth. Kan,
would receive 1896 day for the
engineer and $22.6S for the fireman,
the witness said.

farms Of Kansas should not be as
large as the sales from neighboring
states? It would seem that there is
no good reason and in fact it would
appear that Kansas farmers were
justified in producing a larger amount
OF poultry products per farm than are
produced in any Of the other states
named. Conditions for poultry cul-
ture are in Kansas more favorable
than in any Of the. other states named.
1T will be noted that Republic
county leads with poultry product
sales of $93: Mitchell next with $50:
Mcpherson following with $83: Jewell,
$50, and Dickinson. $79. The lowest
return per farm is IS in Morton coun-
ty. The map reveals that in the west
ern counties the income per farm
from poultry products is the smallest
Of all sections in the state. The farm
ers of this section are Justified in CIV
ing more attention to poultry culture.
Their conditions are more favorable
than those existing farther east and
the need for an increased product per
farm is greater"

is a great poultry center.
While the figures for Kansas seem
almost incredible, yet the farmers are
not living up to their opportunities.

poultry and eggs from the farms Of
the respective Kansas counties, and
the average for the Kansas farm with
the averages of other states.
Latest Poultry Figures.
The total value Of poultry and eggs
sold from the farms of Kansas for
1914, as shown by the state board OF
agriculture, was 1886, 368. Dividing
this amount by the number of farms
in the state as shown by the 1910 CEN
sus, the average sales per farm
amounted to $61.
The average sales per farm by
counties is shown by the accompany
ing map which was prepared by the
Kansas Farmer. The average sales OF
poultry and eggs per farm as shown
by the 1910 census for the following
states were: Iowa, $81; Illinois. $71;
Ohio, $67; Missouri, $66. The same

The history Of st. Johns Evangeli-
cal Lutheran church, at corner OF

back to 1872. The Rev. H. A. Senne.
pastor of a congregation at Alma,
Kan. and missionary among the Ger
mans in Kansas, preached his first
sermon at Topeka in a hall south OF
the river. Later the Swedish Luth-
Grams kindly offered their church to
the Germans for services, and for four
years German services were held at
their church once q month.
September IS. 1874, the congrega-
ton was organized under the Rev. Mr..
Germann. who at the time was pastor
Of a church at Cottonwood Falls,
Kan. The charter members were:
Geo. Klein. ST., Carl Herboldsheimer,
Oscar Krauss, Oscar Bischoff, Fred
Heimpel and John Richter. May ~,
1875, the congregation was incorpor-
ated. Three lots at the corner of Sec
ond and Van Buren, streets were pur-
chased for $500. The organization was
weak at first and changes in the pas
torate frequent.
Two years after the incorporation
the basement of a small stone building
-25x4O was constructed which
served as a meeting place until 1879.
At which time the church building
was completed and dedicated. The

dedicatory sermons were preached by
the Rev. II. c. Senne and Rev. F. W.
Mueller. This stone structure was in
constant use until 1888, serving as
church. school, and a few years even
as parsonage.
More Room Was Needed.
In 1888 a parsonage was erected at
z13 Second street. After fourteen
years Of hard uphill work the con-
extent that 1t became necessary to
provide for more room. The old stone
structure was torn down and the pres
ent building, 40x88 feet in dimensions
erected. This building is used for
services only and seats $50 persons.
The dedication took place in October.
1858. The building was renovated in
1899 and a two-manual pipe organ in

the old parsonage on Second street
and appropriated $1,000 for q new
parsonage on Van Buren, street, and
for moving the school to Second

Arouina With an Expert.

Never argue, with an expert. 1t Is
useless. There Is no way Of making
Aheadway against him, Though you
may know much more than he does,
you can't possibly get him to admit 1t.
His main defense lies In the possession
OF his own special vernacular. No ex-
pert is complete without vernacular.
Many experts, have nothing more.
In arguing with an expert he always
begins by assuming, first, that you
don't Know what you are talking about
and, second, that If you did know
what you were talking about you
couldn't talk about 1t intelligently, be-
cause you lacked the specific vocabu-
larry that the subject demands. As the
argument proceeds he spends so much
time asking, Just what do you mean
when you use the word -Y' and you
spend so much time explaining your
terms that you totally forget what you
are arguing about. Obviously when
man forgets what he is trying to prove
he should Immediately quit trying to
prove it.-Life.

The Poet Of Provence.

From his early romantic success to
his golden maturity Frederic Mistral,
the Provencal poet, had a sort OF leg
endary destiny almost unheard OF In
the modern world. When he came into
the dining room of the little hotel In
Aries where he used to lunch after
visit to his museum even the stiff
backed British tourists found them
selves leaping to their feet with the
rest of the company and cordially re-
turning his fine salute. Travellers vine
have had the fortune to catch glimpse
of him on some fete dag at Aries or
Mines or Orange will never forget the
impression he made. Standing on the
stone bench of a Roman arena, lifting
his black sombrero as the close packed
crowds rose In great swelling waves
to break into the shout "Mistral!' he
seemed the very symbol and type OF
the legendary youth and Joy and beau
.ty of Provence. His natural eminence
was tempered by such natural simple
ity that popular response to 1t was as
spontaneous as 1t was sincere. His
gracious presence defied time, and he
wore old age like a wreath of myrtle.

Water HemIock.

If you are fond of parsnips you
should before eating them make sure
that they are parsnips and not the pol
,sonous roots Of the water hemlock.
The water hemlock grows In marshy
places In various parts Of the United
States. Its roots, which look almost
exactly like those of parsnips, are full
of a deadly poison known to science as
spasmOtoxin.
Animals frequently die. from, eating
the: hemlock and occasional cases OF
serious Illness and death among hu-
man beings have resulted from eating
parsnips with. which. the poisonous
hemlock roots had been mixed by mis-
take. In India the water hemlock is a
fayorite method Of suicide.
Even very small dose of the poison
In this root Is sufficient to cause death
from asphyxiation, paralysis and ex-
haustion and no antidote for it has yet
been discovered.--NewY York American.

Ancient couriers.

1t was the custom of the couriers OF
the middle ages to carry silver beads
In their mouths to lessen thirst. In
certain districts of India which are not
traversed by railways the ancient cOu-
riers still survive and carry mails from
village to village. In the jungle dis
tricts they carry bells about their
necks to brighten away tigers. The
American Indians had their swift run
ners, who carried messages in times OF
war between allied tribes or from the
warriors In hostile territory to their
native villages, and extraordinary tales
are told of their swiftness and endur-
ance. The running messenger in Eu-
rope was succeeded by the mounted
messenger, and as civilization pro-
crossed systems of couriers were es-
tablished, which slowly evolved into
the modern system of posts.
