Boys Corn Club Meeting for Sumter
County.

There will be another meeting of
the Sumter County Boys Corn Club at
the court house In Sumter Saturday.
March 27. the last Saturday i'm the
month, to complete the organization
OF the club for the year 1915. We
have about twenty members at pres
ent. We ought 20 have a hundred
members I'm Sumter county. studying
how To increase the production and TO
decrease the cost per bushel of grow
ing corn. The western farmers who
grow most OF the corn for the market,
consider fifty cents a bushel fair
price for corn. We Southern farm
ers feel like we cannot afford 10 grow
corn for less than a dollar a bushel
Corn with peas grown i'm the middles
Is as profitable crop at fifty cents per
bushel as cotton at eight cents per
pound.
The boys OF Sumter county will
have TO deal with conditions that are as
unfavorable to growing cotton as they
are at the present time. When the
boil weevil cuts the yield almost in
half IL is rs bad as having the price
cut one-third. We have two ways OF
marketing corn and only one Of mar
keting cotton. We can sell our corn
outright or we can manufacture it
into pork and sell the pork.
We have made progress in growing
corn In Sumter county but there is
still room for Improvement. and II we
are TO keep sumter county among tho
leaders the boys are the ones thar can
contribute a great deal toward ,hai
end.
Don't hesitate TO join the club this
year because your fathers arc not in
n position to furnish you large guam
titles of fertilizer. The way we award
prizes in Sumter county those who
study and keep records OF everything
they do in growing an acre OF corn
stand almost an equal chance i'm win
ming the many valuable prizes that
are always offered the boys In this
county.

NOTED KANSANS
ON THE GRILL
Five Victims Roasted by the
Saturday Night Club.
William Allen White Was the
Piece de Resistance.
OLD RULE WAS ADVOCATED
Orators Were Allowed to Speak
without Interruption.
BristOw Represented by Kinkel
and Frank FARRELL.

More than 200 of the states great,
near great. and hopeful, witnessed the
annual grilling Saturday night before
the Saturday Night club, the Gridiron
club Of Kansas For more than three
hours the five victims of the club
William Allen White, Senator w. H.
Thompson, John Kinkle, Mayor House
and l.. NJ. Perweil--were roasted and
toasted to the delight of the guests.
William Allen White. widely known
publisher of the Emporia Gazette.
was the bright star IN the firmam ent.
White knew of the horseplay of the
bath night crowd. He knew that every
member of the organization and all
of the invited guests would be looking
for a nice hickory post where his an
CORA might be tied. White knew this
and more and he met the wit of the
club members with added wit and
closed with original verse that
nearly upset the banqueters.
In the main the victims of the club
were inclined to take the matter seri-
ously. They were cooked and primed
with Oratory and shot three Sylla BILE
words like rapid fire gun operators in
the German ranks. The rule of long
standing which permitted the club to
discourage any attempt at oratOry had
been Sidetracked and injunction pro-
ceedings was the only relief after the
orator started. Not that the orations
were not good. Everyone admitted
they were. Even the speakers them
selves were inclined to agree on that
issue. But it was an innovation in
Saturday Night club affairs and the
change almost took the members
breath away.
Every Speaker Burlesqued.
That every speaker might be intro
duced and properly catalogued and
card indexed, his whims and hobbies
and hopes and dreams were bur-
lesqued to the delight of the visitors
But that was not all. AS the guests
entered the Mills banquet hall. news
boys distributed copies of the Satur-
day Night WheeZe. That document
was the dope on political, social and
financial affairs of the state. 1t told
of a peace pact between DR.. Gordon
and Mayor House. 1t advertised Hen

Traffic Not Up to Standard Set
in 1905 and 1907.
Freight Business to Coast Has
Slumped Greatly.
LOCAL MOVEMENTS PICK UP
Gaining in Business
in This Part of Country.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

Traffic men say that through bust
ness is still far under the heavy mark
set when business was good in 1906
and 1907. Even later than that there
was heavy coast business that filled
up long trains that were pulled for
hundreds of miles without a car being
taken out of train or car being
added. Trains were made up east of
the Missouri river that went all the
way to the mountain foothills without
being broken. These trains were load
ed with machinery for the mining and
manufacturing districts of the west.
The slump in business put an end to
new industries being opened and cut
out this kind of traffic.
Since business slumped, some rail-
part of the west has actually grown
and has made up in part for the loss
in other lines. Fruit movements from
the coast have continued heavy and
some regularity has been shown in the
volume of stock moved and in the
grain traffic.
When crops are good the railroads
can depend on grain traffic. Grain is
as sure to move when harvested as
anything can be. Whether it moves in
a rush or is moved regularly through
the usual period of months makes a
big difference to the roads, but traffic
men know that it will be moved. Crop
prospects, therefore, are closely
watched and much can be foretold of
future business when the crop yield is
actually known.
