than because of location or natural re-
source, Millbrook began to realize that its
dreams of future greatness were fleeing.
Harwi, along with his associate Millbrook
boomers, had been doing things in large
way. When the towns hopes finally went
busted" Harwi was busted" too. There
were three banks in the town. Harwi owed
one of them 1000 To a second he owned

tentious of the three he owed only ST 500.
His only resources were town lots OF doubt

Prutt, afterward superintendent of insur-
ance in Kentucky, then practicing law and
economy at Millbrook as Harwi's partner.
Harwi inspected the package. 1t looked sus-
piciously as though it might contain new
suit of clothes. He needed new suit of
clothes, SO he opened the package. His sus
picions were confirmed, it did contain suit
of clothes. Harwi tried the clothes and
found that they fitted Well dressed once
more, his brain began to work and a great
idea for the relief of his necessities was born.
He slipped quietly over to the bank to
which he owed the most money. The
cashier had a new overcoat, and Harw1 fig
ured that it would go nicely with the Dor
rowed suit. He made his way to the rear
of the bank without attracting attention,
and donned the cashiers new coat Then he
slipped confdentially to the side of the
cashier Without preliminaries, he said:

country. Senator Plumb was quick to see the
advantages to which the work of such COM
mission might lead. He took the matter up
with several Senators from Western states,
Vest of Missouri, Allison of Iowa and Thurs
ton of Nebraska, with the result that they
joined hands to have the rider adopted and
the appropriation made
After Congress had passed the appropria-
ton, Plumb secured the appointment OF
Harwi as a member of the Commission
Each Congress from that time forward has
followed that lead and provided machinery
for use in the protection and development OF
the live stock industry, and the present Blu
reau of Animal Industry is the product OF
Harwi's little beginning.
Harwi returned to Kansas and to Mill
brook What he and his associate commits

tory of recent events. But Harw1 him

said in concluding the story on his appoint

reply.

Harwi set out to do it. He nosed

the power given it by federal
statute, is undoubtedly due the
credit for stamping out the cpl
denic and preventing losses of
many millions to the live stock
industry. The benefits of its
work, not only in the case of the
epidemic of foot and mouth dis
ease, but in many other direc-
tons, are felt in almost every
avenue of American agricultural
pursuit it is the result of a
very little beginning.
The Bureau of Animal Indus
try is a direct result of the ter
mination of a Kansas county seat
war, some thirty years ago, and
the pressing necessities of van

Kansans had a special claim to
the services of the Bureau when
disease threatened its live stock
interests last winter.

FRIENDSHIPS TEST

The Book Of Proverbs states that
one Of the characteristics ~ n
friend Is 10 love nj all times. This
means that n man should be true
and act in friendly fashion toward
his friend, regardless Of his friends
attitude: that he should not change
his friendship into indifference or
hatred. even though his friend may
reveal such disloyalty. There is
something great and fine that comes
into a persons life when he loves
truly. even il his love meets with
no response. Otherwise the love OF
God for the children of men, which
is revealed as universal and change
less. might mean merely tickle
thing. only going out 10 us when
