Thrown Out OF Court.

The Home Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Topeka, j. N. Dolley,
president, won its case this morning
in the second division of the Shaw
nee District court, Judge G.. II. Whit
comb, and there will be no receiver
ship.
This case was one brought by j. f.
Edgerton of Manhattan, Kansas, who
claimed that he had an agents con-
tract emitting him to apercentage of
insurance written on certain lines,
bringing proceedings in the court by
application for areceiver. F. S. jack
son, counselor for the Company, led a
motion In the court alleging that the
application for a receiver was injur-
ious, scandalous and not pertinent.
The court today sustained this mo-
tion, ruling out Of order an applica-
tion for receiver, and reciting that
Edgerton's remedy, if he maintained
that the Company had broken con-
tract, would be to bring suit, alleging
breach Of contract, and that any app
lication for a receiver was not perth

More Rain

The present year is acting like we
are to have nine months of winter
and three months of cold weather.
A half inch Of rain has fallen this
week, and at the time this is written,
Thursday morning., 1t shows no
signs of letting up. The weather is
cloudy and stiff breeze from the
north has caused the heaters to be
brought into use again. We haven't
heard Of any damage to the fruit
crop which is now In the process of
formation, but feel sure this weather
is not very good for either fruit or
garden truck. However, 1t is fine
for wheat and other crops that have
been put out, and barring possible
hail storms later on, better wheat
crop than last year is already assured.
Later--Since the above was written
sleet started to fall and as we 20
to press there is q beautiful snow
falling, which promises to reach a
depth of several inches before 1t
quits. We have an idea the above
mentioned fruit crops and gardens
will be thing OF the past when the
storm is over.

Friends Revival Closed

On April 18th, the Friends Church
began revival which closed Sunday
night, May 2. 1t proved to be the
most successful revival effort held In
Liberal for years, there being lO6
who kuelt at the alter for prayer and
81 who united with the Friends
Church at that time. Others are
contemplating membership with us,
for all of which we praise our Heaven
ly Father.
Friends were fortunate In securing
the able service of Rev. +. Olin Hunt
as our evangelist; he proved Efficient
and presented the "Old Story" in
such an original and forceful manner
that it won the hearts of his
hearers to Christ.
The lively and enthusiastic song
service of each meeting was a special
feature and did much to prepare the
hearts Of the people for the message
which followed. People showed their
appreciation Of the evangelist by a
generous Free VIII Offering at the
last night of the meeting, which
amount was S135.0O
Although the weather was inclem-
ent the attendance was good at all
times, the climax coming the last
service with crowded house and
people turned away. Friends feel
satisfied with the results of their
many efforts, and that the church is
in a flourishing condition.

Big Traction Show in
Hutchinson.

The Kansas Traction Flowing Ex-
hibit is to be held In Hutchinson
during the week beginning July 10.
This will be free school In power
farming, under the auspices of the
Kansas Farmer, Farmers Mail and
Breeze, the Kansas Agricultural Coll
ege and Hutchinson Commercial Club.
The tractors will be seen at work un-
der practical farm conditions and not
simply on. parade. A 600-acre field
will be DIVIDED up and plowed by the
exhibitors.
There is great interest in tractors
among the farmers of Kansas. This
interest comes from the belief that
the cost of power on Kansas farms Is
too high. This cost must be reduced.
The prices of horses and feed have
been raising, and they cut large
hole into the gross income of the
farm. 1t cost 40 million dollars last
year to feed the $50 million dollars
worth of horses In this state.
This Kansas Tractor Show will be
the biggest thing of the kind ever
pulled off. The officers of the Ex-
hibtion are, Lieutenant Governor w.
Y. Morgan, president; A. A. Potter,
Dean Of Engineering, X. S. A. c., Sec
retary; H. M. Batter, Agricultural
Demonstration of the Santa Fe Rail-
way, Field Manager.
Hutchinson is the natural place to
hold an event of this kind. 1t is In
the center of the great wheat belt of
the world, and is located on the main
lines Of the Santa Fe and Rock Is
land railroads, besides several branch
lines. 1t is city noted for its hos
pitality, and It's live commercial club
will see that every provision is made
for the comfort of the crowds who
attend.

kind.

In man the chin seems to project
more and more as he progresses to.
ward his modern civilized condition.
This must imply that, Immediately
the huge lower CANNES degenerated,
the part took on some other function
of vital Importance to the race, and
that the need has increased with his
intellectual and social advancement.
My theory, then, is that the chin Is
essentially part OF the mechanism
of artieulate speech.
1t is tempting to theorize little
further and to suggest that the hui
man chin perhaps bears testimony to
a prehistoric change from earnal
weapons to others, which, if not ex-
actly spiritual, were such as appealed
to the part OF us where spiritual forces
work, for apparently long ago, before
the pen proved mightier than the
sword. the tongue proved mightier
than the teeth.
If one could only prove this one
might show that even before the Gla'
cial epoch, parliamentary institutions
(using the term in its widest sense)
began TO take the place of lethal weap,
ons in settling disagreements, and
that the substitution of arbitration for
war is not merely doctrine of later
day moralists, but is part of the or

evitable as the other evolutionary
