A KANSAS SUNRISE

1t pays dividend of pleasure,
these fine February mornings, to
get up and take look at the sun
rise. 1t makes the best sort of a
start for the day.
We rave considerably, in this
part of the plains country, about
our fine italian" sunsets, which is
all right and for which most ex-
cellent reason exists. And we will
continue to rave.
But we have sunrise, also, now
and then, that is unequaled for
landscape beauty. An hour before
sunrise it is gray and starts to
change. Then the colors brighten to
a yellow and then red tinge be-
fore and after the sun comes over
the horizon.
And just before the sun appears
Is the time to get a view of the
skyline, over the houses and shops
and factory stacks to the east. The
sky is SO bright, on a clear morn
ing, that everything seems to stick
up out Of the earth into the yellow
and gold Of the morning sunrise,
and there is no sky scene more
beautiful unless it is the evening
landscape.
But the air is fine in the morn
ing. 1t is bracing and great for
breathing purposes. 1t is the per-
feet time of day. Early risers know
this. 1t would be treat for those
who do not leave their beds before
sunrise, to try it on some clear,
still morning, and see how the sun
lights up the east and wakes the
whole world up with the beauty of
The sun-touched sky and the fra
grant air.-W. Y. Morgan.

An esteemed contemporary

An esteemed contemporary re-
fuses to accept imports and exports
as an indication of industrial CON
ditions, The fact that in a period of
ten months, before the war broke
out, the Democratic tariff law
brought a loss of $260,000,000 in
our trade balance, does not appeal
to him and he says, Gross railroad
earnings are the best indication of
industrial conditions" Very well
then, in that same ten months per-
iod, before the war broke out and
when nothing new had developed
except the economic legislation of
the Democratic party, gross oper-
ating income of railroads dropped
from 1882 100000 to $2,435,-
100000, a loss of almost $780,
100000 or $1o,0oO,0oO month.
What next?

FARM EXPERTS WARN AGAINST
PASTURING SPRING WHEAT

Kansas farmers are warned
against pasturing wheat that has
made little growth or any wheat on
ground that is wet and soft.
"If farmer is short of feed and
the wheat has made a good growth,
it may be pastured," says S. c.
Salmon, associate professor of farm
crops in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural College. Under no circum-
stances, however, should late sown
wheat be pastured, and wheat
should never be pastured too close
nor too late in the spring. Take all
stock off the fields when spring
opens up. Conditions should sug-
gest how much pasturing should be
done"
Contrary to the opinion of some
farmers, pasturing does not kill the
Hessian fly. Other methods must
be used in the eradication of that
pest.

WANTED.-A MEMS CLUB

Here is a suggestion from the
LeavenWorth Times worth thinking
about is a sensible and workable
plan:
After we had built our church,
said Amos E. Wilson, while in a
reminiscent mood, THE Leayen-
worth Times began calling atten-
ton to the fact that about hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars was
invested in church property on that
block and, with the exception OF the
Presbyterian manse, tbut a small
part Of the investmenD, the prop
erty was used only about seven
hours a week. The argument appeal
ed to some of us and we determin-
ed to make more use of the church
than that, so we organized the
Mems club, a non-sectarian organi-
zation to which anybody was well
come. We had lectures of all sorts
and familiar talks by the members
themselves. But we found 1t inn
possible to arouse much interest in
the club, SO it was allowed to die"
The Times still is of the opinion
that the churches come far short of
making that use of their property
that they ought. 1t is true that many
things are going on in those build
ings of which the public is not in
formed, or does not duly consider,
but still there is a great deal of the
time that the churches stand there
dark and gloomy, not inviting the
as they should.
What a great thing it would be if
Methodists, Presbyterians, Congre-
gationalists and perhaps other
churches of the city would unite in
he ownership of some building
he Presbyterian manse, for instance
and make a church club house of
t, where could be reading rooms,
'arlors for socials, coy rooms
where a few friends might get to-
'ether for a pleasant evening-yes
nd billiard rooms and a big dining
Dom where a big crowd might be
ed and, forgetting sectarianism, re-
iember only that they were decent
ok who want only clean amuse-
lent.

MINNEAPOLIS GETS OIL FEVER
Companies Reported Leasing Lands
in Ottawa County

1t is rumored that many OIL leases
are being taken up on lands lying
west and northwest of Minneapolis,
according to the Better Way 1t had
long been thought that this vicinity
has produced favorable indications
of both oil and gas. 1t will be re-
membered some years ago a local
company was formed to drill for oil
just north of the U. P. depot. How
ever, this was a wild cat scheme
and the drillers, after getting so
deep. couldn't raise any more money
so the scheme fell through. The
high price of oil, which is now a
record figure at s1.25, is enabling
companies to make investigation
of new fields. Down in Dickinson
county, near Harrington, many leases
are being bought up. 1t seems that
Kansas is lying over a veritable
lake of oil, and biologists have re-
ported indications especially favor
able near Minneapolis. Well what
10 you old oil magnates know
about it?

LEEpY AND THE BANK LAW

A correspondent writes the Re-
Hector from Calgary, Canada, that
John D. Leedy, former governor of
Kansas, is now located there and
recently made a speech before the
U. f. A. on banking He said in his
speech that he was elected because
of his promise to revise the banking
laws of Kansas and did it. He point
ed to the guaranty law as one of
the great features of the law. Leedy
was elected in 1896 and served two
years. The guaranty law was passed
in 1909. Leedy had about as much
to do with revising the banking laws
of Kansas as he did with the phases
of the moon but he was a likeable
man and had a warm heart. After
being governor he lost out finan-
eially and went to Alaska. Now he
has come back as far as Calgary.
The newspaper reports say that
Leeds speech was received "cold-
ly." The chairman stated: I'VE
never did ask for the goodwill of
Kansas, and we don't want it now"
which indicates that he has a crouch
against the Sunflower state. How
ever, Kansas don't care whether the
chairman likes US or not.

The jury reported yesterday morning at ten o'clock that they were unable to reach an agreement. The judge sent them back to further deliberate as the instructions and the evidence were clear and there was no reason why a verdict should not be reached It is reported that the jury stood ten to three, but this is probably rumor, at that time. The court then excused the jury and they were discharged; in doing so he expressed regret that it was necessary to keep
 them in so long but the circumstan-

 who were convicted will appear for
