THE KANSAS FEELING

There is feeling abroad that Kan
sas people are different from other
folks While it is nice to know we
are considered s'differentp from the
general dead monoteny of humanity,
we sometimes wonder wherein are
we different?' By most observers it
is conceded that Kansas furnishes
the purest type of real Americans. If
this means because Kansas takes
magazines, newspapers, reads more
books, has more independent think
ers, Sc nd more of her sons and daugh-
tiers to the higher institutions of
learning, gives more to help the needy,
support our schools and churches bet
ter, have the finest automobile roads
all this per capita-then truly we
are different. There is this that a
stranger soon notices in coming into
our midst, that we have place for the
com mparative degree in our life. We
always have the best or the poorest,
the biggest or the least in everything.
Our crops are the biggest on record
or the smallest; it rains until we
shout food or it is so dry it seems
impossible for it to rain; we have the
best people or the worst; and this
may to some extent make US a
marked people. Be the above argu-
ment as it may, Kansas produces peo-
pie who do" or ''who don't" If
people of other states are looking for
a land Of dead levels our advice is
for them not to come to Kansas. But if
they are looking for land of oppor-
tunity and will take q mans chance
at making good no place on the
dear old earth calls louder to them.
We have money, schools, churches,
banks, farms, roads and people that
are different waiting for them; but if
they want to be the common, ordi-
nary street loafing, wife beating,
whiskey drinking, cigarette smoking
folks, they should not come to Kansas,
because the steam roller of progress
will run over them or run them out
before six months have gone by Yes,
we are different" and are mighty
glad of it.-Hays Free Press.

Things To Remember

That your neighbors are good peo-
pie.
That good neighbors are the re-
suit of good neighbors.
That no community can rise higher
than the average level of all its peo-
pie.
That discussion, publicity and ed
ucation will raise the average level
of any community.
That the strongest community in
the state is the best organized one.
That the farmers club represents
powerful unit for ORIGINATING rural
for social and economic
service.-Hiil City New Era.

An old story, resurrected by the
Wilson County Citizen: A few days
ago one of our citizens cut into a
pound of butter which he had pur-
chased at grocery whose proprietor
does not advertise, and found therein
small tin box, which contained a
small piece of paper bearing the fol-
lowing written in a neat feminine
hand: Il am a girl of Is, good look
ing and an excellent housekeeper
Should this be found by some unmar-
ried Christian gentleman, will he
please write TO the following ad-
dress2'' The finder being a bachelor,
decided to unravel the affair, and
succeeded only to destroy the ro-
nance. The girl who had written
the note had died many years ago,
leaving an aged husband and grown
up family.

Speaking of diamond dyes (which
probably you were not even thinking
about, the war has made Dutch
diamonds and German dyes pretty
scarce in this country. Easy COM
munication between different coun-
tries has made them more or less de-
pendent upon one another and this
war is helping the people of all parts
OF the world TO realize the fact. Per-
haps another result will be to force
each country into an effort TO pro-
duct at home all those things which
are essential for the existence of its
people and thus diversity its in
dustries.

FOR REMOVING BLACkHEADS.

Green soap is really soft soaap, which may be bought at any drug store This is very effective for cleansing the skin and removing blackheads.
 Before using the green soap, bathe the face in warm water, not too hot. but so the heat will be pleas ant to the skin. Apply the green soap and rub it we'll into the pores. Rinse the soap from the face with warm water, using camels hair complexion brush so as to remove al lof the soap and as many of the blackheads as will come.
 Then use very cold water until the face is thoroughly cold. Wipe the face thoroughly with sterilized gauge or cheese cloth. Fill the skin with cold cream, let it remain half an hour, then wipe off any that is superflous with a soft cloth.
 Continue this treatment every night until the blackheads have dis appeared. Any cold cream that agrees with the skin is good.

 Peas and beans are superior in nutritive value to the other green vegetables, for they hold large amount of nitrogen in the protein they contain. Most vegetables have starch and carbohydrates which sup ply carbon, but those containing nitrogen are the most nutritious.
 Cabbage contains a very small per cent of nitrogen, so it's food value is small The same may be said of Brussels spouts-those miniature cabbage heads which form on the aXls of the leaves. Cauliflower is also branch of the cabbage family and contains little nitrogen. You might feel quite satisfied after eat ing any of these three vegetables and yet your system might not re- ceive the amount of nourishment that it needed.

 Leaf hidden from the sky, In shadows deep and cool
 Irradiant colors lie. Deeper than day is night,
 Deeper than life is death. Beyond all brightness bright
 Light which there entereth' The sunlisht's brilliant beams
 Break in a thousand dyes, Where rainbows cast their gleamS
 Of promise OCT the skies; But brighter than the sun
 Is unseen light I wis, Whose colors float upon
 The midnight's deep abyss. Close then thine eyes and see
 With thine own inward light What gorgeous colors be
 Blazoned upon the night,
