TO MAKE MINERS WORK SAFE
Operators and Employees Sign Con-
tract to Adopt Arbitration Instead
of Legislation.

Observation-Disclosures instead of leg
islation will be resorted to by the coal
miners and operators of Kansas to es-
tablish a uniform and safe method of
shot-fring in the mines of the state
Several bills in the legislature to re-
quire the mines to establish certain
kinds of electrical shot-firing devices
were killed by the house and senate
committees.
Now the miners and operators have
signed a formal contract for a special
commission of five members to investi-
gate shot-fring devices and recon-
mend means which win stop the loss
of life in the mines through shot-fring
accidents, in which, during the last
ten years, 'sixty-seYen miners have lost
their lives in Kansas. The commits
sion is to include two men selected
by the coal miners, two by the oper-
ators, while the fifth, an electrical en-
gineer, is to be appointed by the gov
ernor The commission will have its
headquarters at Pittsburg, and must
make its report to the governor not
later than December 1, 1916.

CITIES NAY LEND
TO HOME BUILDERS
House Committee Makes Fa-
VOrabIe Report on Bill Pro-
Viding for Bond Issues.
BACKED BY MUNICIPAL CREDIT
Money To BE Advanced to Reputable
Heads of Families Who Have
Resided in City at Least
Two Years.

Topeka Kansas home building
bill has been reported faYorably by
the house committee on cities OF the
first class The bill provides for the
cities issuing bonds for home building
or to assist in building homes for the
worthy residents of the city.
Any person who is the head of a
family and has been a resident of the
city two years, who does not drink and
appears to be Industrious and honest,
can avail himself of the bond propo-
sition. Not more than $4,000 may be
issued for any one resident.
The bonds are to run twenty years.
Not more than per cent interest can
be charged and the bonds must be sold
at the same figures that other munich
pal bonds of the same city are sold
and bear the same rate of interest
The bonds are really city bonds as
much as any other and the city has
mortgage on the property, but pledges
the city's credit against the bonds and
the interest.
Before a city can go into the home
aid bond proposition there must be
submitted to a vote of the citizens the
proposition of whether the city will
avail itself of the enabling act.

PRUDENT TREATMENT OF EVE
In Winter Keep Her on Glover or Al
fzIfa Hay Until After Lamb
Connective Some Wheat Bran

A sensible treatment of the eve
that lambs in winter is to keep her
mostly on clover or alfalfa hay until
after her lamb comes There viii be
no need to limit the amount Of hay
that she consumes after lambing and
then when her lamb takes all her
milk and wishes more, begin feeding
her a little wheat bran For a week
bran viii suffice, gradually increasing
the amount fed, then there may be
added TO it a little chopped corn or
barley and a little later some oil-meal.
A pound q day Of this mixture Will
keep her in good milk flow and il
must be gradually led up to for about
ten days.
About the right proportions Of this
mixture are lou pounds of wheat bran.
100 pounds Of chopped corn and 20
pounds OF oil-meaL This with clover
or alfalfa hay viii push her to a very
heavy milk flow. If she is a large
eve she may consume more than a
pound to advantage, as much as two
pounds being consumed by some large
Dorset ewes.
If this feed is so gradually intro
duced to the eve that her digestion is
not disturbed nor her milk flow slim
ulated too much at first, there is small
danger of overlooking her, suppOsing
that the lamb is to be pushed for
early market Her unselfish nature
turns the feed quickly into milk and
little Of IT goes to nouTish her own
body.

WILL FIGHT CATTLE DISEASE
House Puts Through Measure -APpro-
priating 100000 to Help Farmers
In Work.

Topeka.-Kansas has thousands OF
dollars for sick cattle, but only pen
MES for sick children. The Kansas
House of Representatives spent thir-
ty minutes recently appropriating
100000 for the sick calves of the
state. But it fumes and fuses and
fights for hours and days over an al
lowance for the sick babies.
The house passed the bill appro-
priating $4,000 at once and authoriz-
ing the state to issue one-quarter mill
lion dollars in bonds for fighting the
foot and mouth disease The bill
came in from the ways and means
committee and was made an emergen-
cy and passed just as fast as the roll
could be called. This makes $4,000
available for fighting the disease.
Thus far the Kansas House of Rep
Tesentatives has refused to appropri-
ate a dollar for the child hygiene bu-
reau, asked for by nearly every moth
er in Kansas, to help new mothers
take care Of their children.

Passes Rural Credits Bill.

The Kansas senate has passed a
rural credits bill that is believed will
be a great aid to farmers. The bill
was introduced by Senator Bowman
and provides that any of the Kansas
building and loan associations may is
sue rural credits shares under the
same conditions as are now provided
for helping in the purchase of homes
in cities. The associations are limited
to their own counties. The bill is
simply an enabling act that will per-
nit the building and loan associations
to extend their activities into the
rural districts.

A WORKMEN'S BILL PASSES
Compensation Measure Provides for
Half Pay for Injured Employees
Labor Satisfied.

Topeka.-The house of representa-
tives has passed the Workingmens
Compensation Bill The measure was
under discussion continuously for a
day and a half before the final vote
was taken The bill is said to be en-
tirely satisfactory to the workingmen
of the state, except that the compensa-
ton is not quite high enough. But
they are willing to let it got at so per
cent of the regular wages for the pres
ent. Later they expect to increase
the compensation to two-thirds the
weekly wages.
The only material change in the
measure made in the debate was that
the payment of the compensation must
begin one week after the injury, in
stead of two weeks as originally pro
vided. The lawyers made hard fight
to get into the courts, but the house
shut them out by standing by the pro-
vision that no lawyer could receive
more than 10 per cent and in no case
more than 500 for prosecuting any
claim in the courts The bill also re-
quires arbitration before court pro
ceedings can be brought.
