TO SUCCEED, FOLLOW UP

How common 1t is in games OF
| football, baseball and other sports
that some quick thinking player
dashes off a thrilling play only to fall
back for the remainder of the game
into obscurity and be forgotten-and
for no other reason than that he
failed to-follow up.
Periodic brilliancy is not success.
Follow up. When you think wor-
thy thought, follow it up. When you
do useful thing, follow it up. When
you strike an effective blow for a
right cause follow it up. It's the
man with the courage, first to start a
thing, and then to follow it up that
after while has an accumulation
of points that stamp him great and
masterful. Follow up or else you
will fall back.
The great man is simply the small
man become great. Every great man
at some time or other is the un-
known, obscure man. Make your life
count by compelling every single eff
fort to figure in the final summing
up For, after all, success itself is
nothing more or less than work well
performed and followed up day after
day, year after year.
Persist, follow up, keep at it

OBITUARY
Captain Edwin w. Jenkins

1
The following obituary concernine
the death of Captain Jenkins, father
of Mrs. A. F. German of this city, was
clipped from the last weeks issue OF
the Meade Globe:
Last Monday this community was
saddened by the death of Edwin W.
Jenkins, an old time resident OF
Meade county and a veteran of the
Civil war.
Mr.. Jenkins was born November
IS, 1884, at Carol, Carol county,
Ohio. He enlisted in company G, 9Th
Kansas Cavalry on the 10th day OF
October, 1861, at Leavenworth,
Kansas. He was appointed and COM
missiOned second lieutenant in the
9Th regiment Kansas volunteers, APP
ril 1, 1862. On October II, 1862, he
was appointed and commissioned
first lieutenant of Company G, 5th
Kansas Volunteers Cavalry He
was commissioned captain of Com
pan G, 9Th Regiment, Kansas Volun-
teers, August 5, 1854. He served
until the close of the war and was
discharged from service the Bird day
of December, 1854, having served
his time of enlistment.
Capt. e. W. Jenkins was married
to Miss Mary Frances Keller at Pine
Bluff, Arkansas, September 81, 1864.
To this union seven children were
born. Three died in infancy, four
living to be grown. e. w. Jenkins,
Jr., died March 80, 1911, and Mrs.
Laura Stivers died April 81, 1916.
Capt. Jenkins came to Meade coun-
ty in 1885. They lived on a ranch
% miles south of Meade until 1891,
when they moved to Meade at which
place he lived until his death, which
occurred Monday, December 4, 1916,
aged 80 years and 16 days. He is
survived by MS wire ana TWO daugh-
ters, Mrs. Sadie German of Liberal,
and Mrs. Anna Twist of this city.
The deceased had an active part in
the making of Kansas history, hav-
ing been an early settler.
The funeral was conducted from
the home of the deceased by Rev. w.
H. Lytle, pastor of the Presbyterian
church. At the cemetery the G. A.
r. had charge.
The many friends of the bereaved
family extend their heartfelt sympa-
thy and while human consolation is
weak we are glad the family can look
to God for comfort in an hour like
this.

ment for county and not an expense

ment for county and not an expense
has been clearly demonstrated. In
some cases a single farm has profit
ed enough in dollars and cents to pay
the entire cost of the bureau for 9
year.
In Allen county 10-acre orchard
which the purchaser intended to dis
out, was at the suggestion of the
county agent pruned and sprayed. Ii
a single season 1t netted the owner
$1,476.
Sweet clover used as a green ma
nure crop in that county has in.
creased the yield of corn an average
of 10 bushels an acre on several
farms, and has furnished from three
to five times as much pasture an acre
as native grass.
BY carefully studying comparative
ly the methods Of filling large num-
Der of silos, changes were suggested
in the organization and management
of crews that saved many silo owners
from rs to SO cents a ton on their
filling expense.
One mother-daughter canning club
in Leavenworth county-a farm bu-
reau enterprise-canned almost TO-
600 quarts of vegetables, fruits, and
meats. Drainage systems have been
worked out on large number of
farms in the county, retaining 9TH
erwise valueless land that is now
worth several thousand dollars.
Variety tests of the wheat grown
In Leavenworth county showed that
Currell outyielded other varieties an
average of 51s bushels an acre in
that county. The substitution Of this
variety for poorer producers is ad-
ding materially to the profits of many
Leavenworth county farms.
On 16 Leavenworth county farms,
plots of ground were sown with oats
treated with formaldehyde for smut
control, and similar plots were sown
with untreated seed. The average
loss by smut on plots untreated was
per cent, while ON the treated plots
the loss was too small for figures.
Leavenworth county grows $4,000
acres Of oats and the loss from smut
amounts to nearly 900 acres OF that
area each year. Farmers in that
county plow, prepare, SOW, and har-
vest that many acres of oats each
year and get nothing but the straw
for their work. The farm bureau has
shown how this loss may be prevent
ed, and an unusually large number
of the members are now saving the
grain which was formerly lost.

MAINTAINING SOIL FERTILITY

Most Kansas farmers recognize the
value of manure in maintaining the
fertility of the soil, but few take the
proper precautions to prevent losses
in this valuable by-product, accord
ing to r. I. Throckmorton, associate
professor of agronomy in the Kansas
State Agricultural college.
1.-THE manure should be hauled Out
and put on the soil as soon after be.
ing formed as convenient-the soon.
er the BETTER" said Professor Throck.
morton. "If manure is allowed to
stand as long as six months 1t loses
more than so per cent of its plant
food value.
Manure may be stored in ma
nure pit situated conveniently near
the barn. The pit need not be ex-
pensive. 1t may consist of cement
floor and cement sides two or more
feet high. The dimensions will OF
course depend on the amount of ma
nure formed on the farm. Such a Dit
retains all the excrement with a
small lot of food value. 1t need not
be covered"
Not only are many large stacks OF
manure accommodating on too large
number of farms in this state, is the
opinion of Mr.. Throckmorton, but
some farmers have invested in costly
equipment in the way Of tracks, troll
leys, and sewers to dump the ma
nure into adjacent creeds or rivers.
Such practice is both dangerous
and wasteful-dangerous because 1t
pollutes the streams and shallow
wells for the farmer farther down the
stream, forcing him to use impure
water, and making it easy for the
spread Of contagious disease; waste
full because plant food is being placed
where 1t will be lost instead of being
returned to the soil which produced
the plant. The time is not far dis
tant when the farmer will hold in
high regard his predecessor who con-
served the available food supply both
for himself and for PROSPERITY.
Spread the manure as 1t is formed
and spread it evenly, advises Pro-
lessor Throckmorton. Much of the
manure distributed is put on the
field too unevenly and too thickly. If
spread too thickly it will burn" and
thus lose its nitrogen and have a
harmful effect where it is put on
growing crops. Five to 10 tons to
the acre is sufficient amount for all
but the very poorest soils. Many
farmers are putting 10 to 20 tons to
the acre when greater results might
be had with one-half the amount that
they are using.

GLORIOUS SEVENTH OF JUNE.

| (From the Cedar Rapids Gazette.)
Whether Theodore Roosevelt, in
| the form of the Bull Moose, Ltd, is
planning to renew his battle with the
orthodox wing of the republican party
or is only taking the preliminary
steps to stage a million dollar spec
tacle, including the Return of the
Prodigal," '"The Last Days of the
baby Beef" 1.-THE Submission Of
Elihu Root" and other allegorica1 sub
jects must for the time remain
mystery. In any event the Glorious
Seventh of June, 1916, is assured of
a prominent place in the American
calender and the date may hereafter
be designated in red.
It is well known that the Moose
party is the disembodied will of Theo~
dore Roosevelt. He ordained its
birth, directs its course and fixes
it's span of life. Without him it
would be but the memory of anger.
the hollow echo of yells Of rage.
Hiram Johnson, Albert Beveridge,
James Garfield and other pendants
that affixed themselves to its fat
veins through which the purple tor
rent of the blood of the rough rid
er coursed like water through a mill
race, in order that they might bloat
themselves into a semblance of fat
ness, could not for a moment give
life to the untamable thing called
Bull Moose. It's below is the voice
of Theodore Roosevelt, issuing chal-
lenge across still waters and through
dense growth to whatsoever thing is
insensible to fear to come to the
moonlit glade and fight it out like
a. warrior fresh from the hand of ma
ture .-:=
On the Seventh Of June, Theodore
Roosevelt will in Chicago or in Michi-
gan City, on board his special car

1t is against his plan Of life to do

1912, he really believed that he could
be elected in triangular fight. He
believed that he would emerge as the

could divide the honors Of the base
and perpendicular. He was not pre-

reer with the votes of Pennsylvania,

elected and he knows that he cam
not win with regular republican
candidate In the field unless he is
that candidate. He figures that four
years., absence from the crib will
cause republicans in general to for

secure the nomination. He hopes to
