1t was during those sessions that Sem

Governor Stubs. Once when Stubs
sent special message to the senate
asking for reduction in appropria-
lions, Senator Price directed a reply
which asked the governor to specify
the itemJ he desired eliminated or re-
duced. Stubs never replied.
In 1913, Senator Price was the one
man who was not afraid of the wom-
ems lobby in the fight on the mini
mum wage bill. When the measure
was under discussion, club women
filled the galleries and packed the
lobbies. They carried banners and

broken the opposition in the first
clash.
| Senator Prices record is not one of
| opposition to constructive legislation.
In fact, in eight years the man from
the southwest district has helped in
the enactment of many of the states
strongest laws. AS chairman of the
| Judiciary committee during two ses-
sions, Senator Price removed scores of
jokers from pet bills and wrote pro-
visions in number of acts that later
proved most valuable when the meas
ures went to the supreme court.
The thirty-seventh senatorial district
comprises Barber, Clark, Comanche,
Ford, Gray, Harper. Kiowa and Meade
counties. W. NJ. Moore of Anthony,
who will oppose Senator Price in the
primaries, is perhaps a very able man
and an excellent citizen. But the loss
of Senator Price in the state senate
would be a real blow to the Kansas

as their protector against driveling,

KEEP BOOKS ON FARM.
Instructor Urges Proper
System of Accounting.

Manhattan, Kan, July 2o.-The
farmer who wishes to make money out
of his farming operations rather than
merely pay expenses while waiting for
land values to rise, finds that some
thing more than experience is neces-
sary. A proper system of accounting
for his Individual farm and adapted to
his conditions, is conducive to success,
in the opinion of Theodore Macklin,
instructor in rural economics in the
Kansas STATE Agricultural college.
Farmers are finding they must be
certain that the balance shows up on
the profit side and not on the cost
account" says Mr.. Macklin. ITO bring
about this favorable condition, ac-
counting must be adapted where it can
be of service. In the city, business
men have separate offices, it is true
and the size of the business increases
the need of a specialized office. With
the farmer, however, it is only neces-
sary that he should follow a system
attic method of conducting his account
ing work. AS little time as possible
should be lost in entering records
1.-THE farm inventory should include
statement of all the farmers land,
buildings and equipment, live stock
and produce on hand, and a list of
debts that he owes other people or
that others owe him.

CONDITIONS OVERCOME
WHICH CAUSE
CONSTIPATION

1t is often said that constipation
kills by inches. This is true, because
its results are so slowly manifested
that they are not apparent. Constipa-
ton means the re-absorption of effete
matter and the poisoning of the entire
system, producing appendicitis, stom-
ach and intestinal troubles. 1t can
be truly said that constipation is d.
rectly the cause of most of our ails.
1t is a condition which may easily be
overcome.
