Some of the photographers find
much merriment in the fact that two
unmarried nurses in Topeka have
been assigned to duty as advisers to
the Topeka mothers in caring for in
fants during the heated term this
summer. The inference Is that no
woman who has not borne children
is capable of knowing anything about
their care. This is f1ap-doodle of
prize-winning quality. AS we'll argue
that nobody could doctor fits but
someone who had 'em, or that no
mechanic could be trusted with the
repair of an automobile unless he
owned one. The infant mortality
record is pretty good evidence that
the mere possession of an infant
does not qualify the mother to take
proper care Of 1t. The movement to-
ward raising better babies should
receive every encouragement and the
funny men would do we'll to look
elsewhere for material to fill their
columns. The news dis
patches bring the announcement that
some half a dozen chaplains have
been appointed to furnish spiritual
guidance to the Republican national
convention. This seems like lot
of chaplains, but when you consider
how its sins of four years ago are
going to rise and smite it, and con-
template it's present difficult position
between theodevil and the deep blue
sea where it is a case of damned If
you do and thrice damned If you
don't, the Republican party displays
wisdom in providing an ample sup
ply of spiritual counsel. They may
need all Of those and more before
they get through with the work they
have set out to do.-Stafford Courier.

CONTEMPORARY COMMENT

Four automobile accidents on the
streets within the past week is en-
tirely too many and shows gross
carelessness on the part of auto driy-
ers. Fortunately no one was hurt
and aside from two broken buggies
and some damage to machines no ser
ious damage resulted. The problem
of handling the hundreds of autos in
Garden City is a. serious one and it
is getting worse from day to day.
The city will be compelled to adopt
drastic measures unless auto drivers
better observe more care in operating
their machines. Amel Land
graf had very narrow escape from
death from ptomaine poisoning last
week. He was out on his ranch
northeast of the city and after eating
his dinner he started out to look af-
ter his cattle and was suddenly taken
with severe cramps and became very
Ill. The boy seemed to know what
the trouble was and Immediately
took lot Of salt and started to ride
to the house but could only go a
short distance until he had to dis
mount and lie down. Finally getting
near the house he attracted the at
tention of the family and he ordered
lot Of milk, and the doctor said the
salt and milk undoubtedly saved his
life, for by the time he got there the
boy was dangerously Ill. Mrs. Land
graf was notified and she got DR..
Gillian and started Immediately for
the ranch and her car broke all the
speed records. Mr.. Landgraf was out
in the country and did not reach his
son until some hours later. The |
ranch is in charge Of Mr.. Vineyard,
who with two Of his children were
also taken sick. His wife was not |
affected. DR.. Gillian made a care
full inspection of the food but could |
not determine what 1t was that |
caused the sickness unless 1t was
some apples that had been cooked

The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1916-06-09

Much of our future success in this
country depends upon our ability to
keep our young men on the farms
and away from the cities. Statistics
show that the farms are gradually
becoming depopulated and the cities
are being overcrowded, with from
two to five men waiting for every job.
If our young men would stick to
the farms, and improve and develop
the uncultivated acres, 1t would be
only a question Of time when the
wealth of this country would be
doubled and trebled. Bright lights
and white ways appeal to the young
eye, but they do not feed empty
stomachs. The farm is good place
to be and a far better place to stay.

There is one bill which comes to
this Office which we are always glad
to pay and that is the bill for the
maintenance of the street sprinkler.
The constant sprinkling of the
streets the past few weeks, during
the extremely dry weather and the
high winds, has been all that has
made it possible to breathe without
inhaling vast quantities of sand and
dirt. While we may be able to get
along without some conveniences, we
hardly see how we can do without
the street sprinkler now.-Beaver

a good many, got out and cleaned up
their premises and helped clean up

or another for not joining the others

Doctor Finney of Atchison suggests
that money could be saved to the
state by using the automobile tags
another year. The doctor says that
all that would be necessary would be
to require the owners to come in and
pay the license. Why is any tag
necessary? Certainly 1t doesn't add
to the beauty Of the automobile. 1t
would be easier for the tax collec-
tor to catch the automobile upon
which tax has not been paid than 1t
is to catch the gold watch, for in
stance, or the piano, and neither Of
these pieces of taxable property are
tagged. -Leavenworth Times.

after time those who know have said
that volunteer wheat and early SOW
ing are the salvation Of the fly. In
spite of these warnings these fall
breeding places are furnished the fly
and the next summer he robs his BEN
efactor of hundreds of dollars. It is
argued by many that this section will
never be rid of this insect till every
one quits wheat for couple of years.
II such is the case the sooner the ac-
ton is taken the better 1t will be for
all concerned. During several years
men made an immense amount of
money by planting hundreds of acres
of wheat each year. The idea was
not to SOW well but to SOW much.
This plan succeeded for time but
1t seems that this method is no long
er to be crowned with success. Each
man must be content with less acre
age and must pay more careful at
tentioh to what he does have. Wheat
is necessity of life but It is not the
only one and the finest soil in thu
world will not continue to produce
good wheat indefinitely. Corn, alfal-
ia and other crops must be rotated
in order to keep the soil in good con-
dition and get the hest results. An
editor is not supposed to be- able to
give advice to farmers but we are on
ly passing on what seems to be the
opinion of those who are able to-.
know. The farmers of Stafford
county must soon study this out for
themselves and act accordingly
