taken from the Mississippi river at
Ncely's Landing Tuesday, and an in

3 bill, three 81 bills, an open-racc
',ey-wound watch, a pocket knife and
four Lincoln pennies. The watch bore
the name of Eugene Jackard & CO.,
St. Louis. which leads Judge Steger TO
believe that the dead man was a St.
Louisan.
The money waG wrapped in 4 small
piece Of paper. upon which was writ
ten: My family forced ne to do 50.
February 10, 1916" The note was
written by a German, Judg2 Steger in
formed The Tribune yesterday.
The paper. which contained the bills.
was wrapped with the watch in a black
silk handkerchief containing wine
colorcd stripes and dots. The knife
was douDle-blaGed, but one of the
blades had been broken off. On q
plate on the handle of the knife We've
engraved the letters "N. H."

collar and black how tie. The man
apparently was about five feet. six
inches in height and weighed about

membership. The banker must first be
visited and all arrangements with him
completed. If he considers the risk
favorably, the applicant signs an agree
ment with the bank, also note draw

COW.
With the loan assured, the dairy club
member is ready to seek suitable COW.
There are no restrictions in this matter,
and either grade pure-bred of any
breeding can be used in the club work,
the only requirement being that the
milking record must start on or before
September l, 1916. The record may
start any time from now up to and in
Guiding that date, but not after that date.
At the time the COW is bought, blank
sent for this purpose is filled out by the
club member and mailed, and at the time
the COW freshens and the years record
begins another blank bearing this infor-
nation is sent.
A record of the daily milk produc-
ton and of the feed consumed by the
cow, and its cost, is kept by each club
member The milk is carefully weighed
each day, also the grain fed, and the
Not later than the tenth day of each
month reports of the daily milk and
feed records are to be made. These re-
ports Will be the basis for making the
awards at the end of the year. After all
expenses have been paid the contestant
is to turn over to the bank before the
tenth day of each month the net pro-
ceeds from the sale of products as pay
ment on the note.
On the fifteenth of each month a COM
posite sample of the mornings and
nights milk is to be taken and sent to
the Dairy Department of the Kansas
Agricultural College at Manhattan,
where it viii be tested for butter fat
content. This test will be used in calcu-
lating the total butter fat produced for
the month.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1916-05-26

The points upon which the awards will
be given at the end of the year, are as
follows:
Total production for year. o 80 points
Profit over cost of feed
and interest % to 30 points
Records and story of work o to 20 points
Quality of product. OTTO 20 points
The prizes for the club have not yet
been published, but a number have been
offered by interested parties, among
them being a $3.50 silo.
To the boys and girls competing in
the dairy club, milking cows is not
disagreeable, uninteresting task. They
are financially concerned with the re-
suits. Each day as they look over the
records they can see the net proceeds of
their work increase, and what boy or
girl would not be proud to go to the
bank at the appointed time and make
the payment on the note which they
gave when the COW was purchased? And
then there is the calf. Some club mem
bers already have fine heifer calves and
are looking forward to the time when
they will be full grown cows. AS the
months go by, the debt at the bank will
steadily grow less and there will be the
hope that the record being made will win
of the big prizes at the end of the
year.
Dairying is a type of farming that
brings in the money and little fertility
goes from the farm in the product sold.
These facts will be firmly fixed in the
minds of the contestants. Who can esti-

Much of it can be seen now in the start
made in business training, but it is not
within our power to even guess at the
value from the standpoint of creating a
lasting interest in dairying and helping
these boys and girls to look carefully
into the possibilities of life ON the farm
before giving it up for the unknown OPP
portunities in the city.

"HE inception of the Kansas
Farmer Dairy Club dates back
more than a year. In the weekly
conference the president of the company,
Albert T. Reid, suggested to his editors
that the KANSAS FARMER back its I'M

boys and girls who would help, the paper

this one of the surest routes to perma-
nency for the man who. has turned his
face toward this state which is so brim-
full of possibilities.
That suggestion was the spark which
kindled the fire of enthusiasm over the
plan. These men worked on the idea
, tiringly for months, seeking to fill it
with educational advantages as well
to hold out prizes for those who would
work the hardest. One of the greatest of
these advantages was conceived when it
was decided that the bankers of the state
be given an opportunity to cooperate in
the plan by loaning the money to the
boys and girls to be used in purchasing
cows for the club work.
The planners realized the value the
negotiations with the banker would be

Mrs. Wharton, author of 1.-The House
Of Mirth," tells how a paying work
room for war sufferers is founded:
When the war broke out an i'm
mems number of benevolent and un-
occupied women in Paris felt a violent
but vague impulse to help" This i'm
pulse found its chief expression in the
traditional pursuits Of making lint,
hemming towels and crocheting baby
jackets. Such activities are harmless
In days of peace, but in wartime any
unpaid industry encroaches on the
rights of the unemployed, and this fact
was so promptly understood in France
that l can claim only by a few weeks
priority the honor of having founded
the first paying workroom in Paris.
My ouvroir, which started tentative
~ and OF a small scale, was at first
meant only to supply work for a few
seamstresses of my W quarter, but
with the temporary paralysis of trade
such a wave of misery swept w Par
is that the most prudently circumscrib-
ed charities had to enlarge their Dor
ders and take their chance of finding
the means to exist. 1t was impossible
to confine my aid to seamstresses when
typists and accountants, nursery gov
ernesSeS and dramatic artists, cooks
and concert singers were all pleading
for help, but l kept and have continued
to keep to one of my original rules
that no one | employed should be in
receipt of what is called the military
allowance" All over Paris in these
early days workrooms were being open
ed to help the wives and mothers of
soldiers. Wives, widows and young
girls without near relatives in the army
were not umaturally overlooked, and
1t was for their benefit that my work
room was started.
My first step was to appeal for help
to my compatriots in Paris. | collect
ed over $4,000 within a week or two.
and with that sum the foundations of
the work were laid. | bought a large
supply of materials. made arrange
ments to have my women fed in "A
neighboring restaurant and put over
my door the sign of the Rel Cross.
NUT hhOsC ouolitCo INT hOAh WAS
begun. The women receive 20 cents .
day and a good midday meal in return
for six hours work. On Thursday
they have a half holiday with full pay,
but whenever there is a sudden cal
for hospital supplies or any urgent o.
der they cheerfully give up Their
Thursday afternoon.
When a applies for work she
shows her papers, gives references and
is asked to prove that she is not re-
ceiving either the military allow
ance" or what is called the assistance
to the unemployed" Her statements
are verified by inquiries at her marie,
and If the report is favorable she is
engaged for two months.
The two months over, she has to
leave, but If she chooses we give her
~piecework at home for a month. At
the end of the month, if there is a va
cancy, she can return to the workroom
for another two months, and so on.
This system of rotation was establish
ed as soc as it became evident that
the war was to last a long time, and
