An up-to-date Farm.

1t is not an uncommon thing to hear
the newly east arrivals boast of the
fine farms backbone" They will
tell you what they have ''back yonder''
forgetting that the farms of Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, are the results of
100 years of grooming. The most of
these farms are now growing the third
and fourth generations. But we want
to call their attention TO one Of many
farms in Ellis county, modern in every
sense and the first generation has made
1t, not accumlative efforts of a hundred
years. If the reader will take a ride
SIX miles west of Hays, on the Golden
Belt road, he will come to the home OF
Mr.. George Palmer. Here he finds q
home lighted by electricity, has hot and
cold water in one of the modern bath
rooms, in fact the home is as nicely
furnished as one of our modern city
homes. He has $40 acres of land lying
in the Big Greek bottoms; farm that
IS well fenced, well watered and well
stocked. He has fifty head of thorough
bred Percherson horses, none better in
the state; 800 hundred head OF the
finest blooded chickens in fact the
best of stock that is adapted to his
farm. His barns are the most up-to-
date, and he has for his own conven-
ience a well appointed elevator. Now
# any OF your eastern relatives come
to visit you and commence to say ''back
east just get into your 40 h. p. Over
land and show them around. Take
them to Palmer's well groomed, well
equipped modern up-to-now" farm
and say, lean you beat it back east?"
Then run out to see Lou Kraus' home,
drive then to the Alex Philips ranch,
and IN your return to town stop at the
home of Mr. Albert Logan and ''shew
them around and much of this 'feast-
ern puff viii pass away, and these
visitors viii say ''thls beats all crea-
ton" was looking for ''Ingins' and

and found unequaled prosperity, 1 was

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
cnre 80 hogs out of 100. The record to-
day is little over 95 out of 100, so we
guarantee go.
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 out of 10 hogs. 1t is medicine
straight medicine. It is because it's
straight medicine that it cures 95 times

of pupils of the Antonio Parochial
School. A prize of $50 pounds Of
Semolino -four, offered by the Hays
City Milling Company, was won by this
school. The Sisters of St. Joseph, who
trained the young singers, deserve
much credit. The people of Antonio,
many of whom were present, have
good reason to be proud of their school.
The contestants in reading class A,
which were tor pupils below the seventh
grade, were Albert Befort, Rosalin
Noble and Gladys Kraus, all delivered
their selections in manner that showed
very careful preparation. First prize,
a pair of kid gloves, offered by ]. c.

Sophus Johnson was chosen to repre-
sent the association on the nominating

.CAN'TExPERIMENT
Lack of Monkeys Ties Hands of
Epidemic Experts.
Make General Appeal to Zoos
Throughout Country.

p New York, July 11.-Hampered by
a lack of monkeys for experimental
purposes, with the possibility that such
lack may postpone any solution of the
mysteries of infantile paralysis, a gen.
eral appeal for apes to all ZOOS
throughout the country was being
considered today. Existence of a
quarantine of several months stand
ing has prevented any new shipments
of monkeys during that period.
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has raised the embargo on big ship
ment of apes now held at Manila, but
a month must elapse before they are
received. In the meantime a strenu-
Gus effort Is being made to hurry
along shipment from Central Amer
lea.
Health Commissioner Emerson pro-
fessed his satisfaction with the pro-
gress of the fight against the epidemic.
even though the latest figures showed
an increase in number of cases and
deaths.
Health officials announced today
they had sufficient hospital room to
accommodate all cases and plenty of
nurses and physicians. Their most
difficulty is in convincing almost fran
tic parents of children found infected
that their baby has its best chance of
being cured in a hospital.

WAR DIET GROWS
BIGGER BABIES IN
AVIATOR'S THEORY

The Hague, July IL, via London
The Berlin Arms mandatory has re-
duced the working period of its 1000
women employees to eight hours daily.
The Vorwaerts urges that all similar
establishments follow its example, as
long hours, combined with under
feeding. are proving most injurious to
the women.
That the war diet is injurious to
health is refuted by Doctor Thiels of
Chemnitz. who, according to the Clint
cal Weekly, has examined 1,055 chill
dren and found them on the average
one inch taller and more than two
kilograms heavier than pre-war chill
dren while the children's health was
unimpaired.

STATES new SLOGAN
"WatchfuI Maintenance" Is Word Sent
Out by Governor Capper.

"Watchful maintenance" was a new
slogan sent today to members of state
boards by Governor Capper. The new
state slogan is carried in an appeal to
repair public buildings and prepare
against heavy losses through action of
the elements.
In letter today to members of the
state boards the governor urged the
necessity of spending a dollar to save
nine. He asks for strict economy in
the handling of public affairs, but de-
clares that economy in failing to pro-
tect the states property may result in
sheer extravaganza. The governors
letter was sent to. members of the
state board of control, board of admin
istration, board of corrections and
board of managers
The governor said:
ct believe there are few ways by
which we can save more money for the
state than by timely or seasonable re-
pairs, by protecting state property
from the wear and tear of time and
weather. This applies also to all the
states movable property, its tools and
apparatus, as well as its buildings.
Based on my own experience and
observation, / am urging the chairmen
and members of all the state boards to
give the same special and unremitting
nance that well-managed railway
system gives to its roadbed, it's gem
eral property and to the service
quality of its supplies.
I'VE ali know that a defective roof
which could have been repaired for a
few cents or dollars In the beginning,
may if neglected half ruin a large
building over night; that 81 spent
properly and wisely in upkeep may dc
as much as 5000 paid out for belated
repairs.
Every prudent man keeps up his
property, not only because he likes
to see it in well-wept, shipshape con-
dition, but because he knows that by
giving it this good Gaze in season, the
expense will be much less than the
i cost of general renewing. or the re-
placing, that is sure to be required
sooner or later, if this watchfuI in
spection and care is relaxed or omit
ted.
II am not appending these remarks
with the idea of convincing you of the
necessity and wisdom of such careful
oversight of state property. but rather
to direct your attention at this time
to the great possibilities for economy
this matter of watchful maintenance
offers us and to urge that we take
every advantage of it,
