HUGHES ASSURED
KANSAS IS SOLID
Candidate Gives Up -Four
Minutes of His Holiday
to Politics.
By RAY II. LEX.

Estes Park, Col, Aug. 2s.-One cx-
ception to the rule against political dis
cussion that is strictly enforced here
permitted Charles E. Hughes to learn
to-day that Kansas is undoubtedly for
him.
William Allen White, the Progress
sive editor of Kansas, motored over to
the Stanley Hotel during the afternoon
and held four-minute conference with
the candidate on the grounds. WheE
the editor concluded his whispered re-
marks both men were smiling broadly.
Then they made their way to the hote'
veranda, where Mr.. White repeated MS
news.
kansas is for Hughes and his poll
cies every step of the way" said Mr..
White. "The Progressives are still.
active, and whatever difficulties they
may have with the Republicans will be
settled among themselves. There will
be no difficulties when Mr.. Hughes ar
rives there such as occurred in Cali
fornia"
Will Attend One Luncheon.
Mr.. White lives across the mountains
from here and is a member OF the
growing art and literary colony Glenn
Yore, poet and writer of books, is ar
other member of the colony who has
taken part in a programme of actiy
ties in which Mr.. Hughes was to have
figured.
With one exception the programme
has been abandoned, TO give the cand .
date an opportunity to recuperste be
fore starting out on the second tour
of the campaign, which will leave him
only four days of leisure between now
and Election Day. This exception is

base of Longs Peak tomorrow. Enos
Mills, naturalist and writer, who occu-
pies a palatial "hut" at the base Of
the mountain, arranged the affair sew
eral days ago. Mr.. Hughes, who met
the naturalist on the day of his ar
rival here, agreed that he was willing.
in this case to forget about his refusaf
to be anybodys guest.

No More Trading Stamps.

The merchants of Augusta have

ewing of trading stamps with pur-
,ehases of merchandise. In fact. this
form Of advertising is becoming more
and more unpopular in the cities. Peo-
ple are learning that they pay dear
price for the so-called premiums. At
first that were led to believe that the
merchants were giving them some
ching extra-in addition to the mer-
shandise purchased-for their money.

the opinion that the giving of trading
stamps was unwise, as well as unfair

Cotton a Wonderful Plant.

The people of the South are so ac-
customed to cotton that they are un-
mindful of what wonderful plant 1t
is. The lint of the plant supplies
clothing for every occasion-from over
alls for the laboring man to finest fab
ric for my lady who sits in her draw
ing room.
The seed of the plant, which were
at one time regarded as worthless
product, supply food for man and beast.
Fats or oil are extracted that are as
palatable and nourishing as any vege-
table oil on the market. The cake or
meal, with the husks from the seed as
filler, supply the cheapest, as well as
one of the best, food for cattle.
Furthermore, cotton supplies its own
food. its own fertilizer, which is not
the case with corn and the other cereals.
TIE agricultural department has just
issued a statement advising farmers to
use meal as a fertilizer, instead OF
using other forms of plant food on the
market. Potash in the form of salts
is practically unobtainable at this time,
and nitrogen and acid phosphate have
advanced tremendously in price be-
csusa of the use of nitrates and phos-
phorc acid in the manufacture OF mu-
nitions of war. Cotton seed meal con-
tains all of these elements of plant
food, which make it especially desira-
bic as fertilizer at this time. The
seed from an acre of last years cotton
provides heavy fertilization for an acre
of this years crop. What other plant
will do this?
