PIONEER BARBER PASSES AWAY
AT 81.


Mr.. James W. Woodland, one of
Kansas City's best known BARRIERS and
oldest citizens passed the high tide of
this life Sunday morning at 3:45
O'Clock. MI. Woodland lived in Kan
sas City forty-four years having come
here in 1871. He was a man of rare
literary attachments and looked the
more astute professor in a college
than a barber. He was a scholastic
puzzle to most of his patrons and &C
quaintances as he readily propounded
and explained the knotted questions in
poetry, art, history and literature;
many styling him a literary prodigy.
His barber shop, at the corner or
Union avenue and Mulberry street,
was headquarters for many of Kansas
City's distinguished pioneers of that
day and time and who afterwards be
came the leaders for the future great
Kansas City. Prominent among his
patrons were Colonel Kersey Coats,
Colonel Chase, then member OF the
school board; Major G. N. Blossom,
Union Depot hotel, and a Mr.. Jarboe,
president of Jarboe's foundry, West
bottoms; the Kellys, Gafneys and
Jones, leading hotel men and leaders
in business pursuits. In fact all the
leading wholesale men of that day and
all of them centered mostly around the
union depot. Although a colored man
color cut no figure in those pioneer
days. Jim" as Mr.. Woodland was
Familiarity known, is the only man tnat
can shave me. Ranchmen, hotel men
and wholesale dealers alike only knew
Jim's barber shop. Being the popular
idol of all classes of business men, MS
shop easily led all others In point of
success and prosperity. But as these
older landmarks passed away Mr..
Woodland found his business declin'
ing and a few years ago removed his
shop to l411 oath street,
He continued in business there up
to his illness and death. Mr.. Wood
land was born in Washington, ID. c.,
February %, 1884, near the shadow OF
the capitol building. He was for four
years or more in the office of the Hon.
George Mathist, u. s. surveyor, year
of 1856. In a testimonial given Mr.,
Woodland after leaving his office Mr.,
Mathist says: 81 commend young
Woodland for his superior intelligence
and his f%aithfulness to duty, his gen
eral department and strict honesty
AS a race man Mr.. Woodland clearly
proved himself, whether in politics
the school. the rostrum or the home
he gave mastery advice upon this
line MI. Woodland was beloved by
all who knew him. He is survived by
a SON and a daughter, James W. Wood
land, Jr., 500 Brooklyn avenue. this
city, and Mrs. ]. L. Williams, Pueblo
Colo, and by two grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at thu
home Wednesday at 2 p. m. Burie

that morning 1t was found that the
building had been entered through a
window in the primary room. Clocks
were stopped in each room, the bell
rope cut, ink thrown on the walls
and other mischief done. The school
board was called in and after a little
investigation 1t was learned that the
acts were committed by boys of the
school assisted by two or three
ehums not attending school. The
ring leader was undoubtedly a boy
who was lately expelled from another

select a county leader who will work
in conjunction with the agricultural
college head in charge of the state
extension work.
If the plan goes through there will
be no appropriations for farmers in
stitutes or agricultural extension
work other than provided for in the
proposed law taking advantage of the
Smith-Levers act.
Directors of the farm extension
work must hold an institute or better
farming school of not less than four
days in each county each year. Coun-
ties that avail themselves of the state
appropriation by voting local funds
will have the special agricultural in
terests of their localities looked after
with a view to meeting their special
needs.
There is a good deal of discussion
and proposed legislation every year
along the line of farmers institutes
and agricultural extension work and
1t is the plan OF the proposed bill TO
take care of all this in one act that
will take care of the work for many
years to come and receive assistance
yearly from the national government.
No state has as yet perfected legisla-
ton making available the funds of
fered by the government under the
Smith-Levers act and IL the bill
makes rapid progress here South Da-
kota may be the first to get in under
the wire. Senator Lincoln of Brown
county is at work on the bill having
behind him the experience gained
through the successful work of the
better farming association in his
county.

Pierre, Jan. 20.-Upwards of $780,
900 a year of government money to
be spent in South Dakota in better
farming, farmers institute and agri-
cultural extension work. with an ad-
d~itional $4,000 from the state and
a proportional amount from the
counties, is comprehended in a bill
being worked out to enable the state
to take advantage of the federal CO.
operation offered in the Smith
Levers act.
When the bill is introduced in the
South Dakota legislature-it is only
in the formative stage now-it will
come as a bill of a joint committee
made up from the agricultural COM
mittees of both houses. Under the
Smith-Levers act South Dakota will
be entitled to receive from the gov
eminent $4,000 the first year, an
additional S5,140 the next year and
so on until the amount may reach
$4,000 or $4,000 per year for this
state. In every case the state must
appropriate an equal amount TO that
from the government before the gov
eminent funds will become available.
