Cure Hog Cholera.

The word ''cure" is seldom used in
connection with hog cholera. Why?
Because of the frequent failures. But
we use the word "cure" and guarantee
that B. A. Thomas Hog Powder will
cure 90 hogs out of 100. The record to-
day is a little over 95 out of every 100,
so we guarantee 80.
We don't care what others may think
or say. We know what we are doing
and will sell you B. A. Thomas Hog
Powder, guaranteeing that it will save
9 out of ten hogs. 1t is medicine
straight medicine. It is because it's
straight medicine that it cures 95 times
in 100. G. W. MEYERS, Hays.

Why an increase in grain freight
rates? Senator Bristow, now mem
Der of the utilities commission, says:
''First, the grain rates in the western
territory already are from 80 to 80 per
cent higher than on similar hauls in the
territory east of the Mississippi. Sec
ond, In the western territory, including
Kansas, for which the increased freight
rates are asked, more grain is shipped
per square mile of territory, and more
grain is shipped per mile of railroad,
than In the eastern territory, where
the rates are lower than in the western
territory. Third, the rates on grain
shipments already are higher, taken as
whole, than on any other COM
modify"
1t is about time the people issued a
general protest against this hold-up
game. In the years past the roads got
what thes asked for, and that meant
all the trade would stand without re-
bellion, and these old mOney-fed cor
porations still imagine they own the
public 1t is now time to say to them,
we farmers want a little more than
f'the straw" for our labor.

There are many people these days in
the pond of seIf-pity. My advise to
them is to wade out, for the pond is not
very deep. No longer than last week
young man of Hays heard call forty
miles away. It said, "Come over and
help US and we will give you one humid
red dollars a month"; The only condi-
ton was to be ready and qualified to
assume the responsibilities. Now if
this young man had been a church
knocker, pool-han loafer or picture
show fend he never would have had a
chance at this job.

some THINGS

The man who originates, invents, or
Pounds; the man who improves systems,
or inspires enthusiasm is the man who

The man who plays lackey for anoth-

and makes himself sycophant for an
other, for wage or social position is
little and cheap and merits contempt.
