URGE WEST INDIES SALE.
Danes Want More Than S4,3OO,oOO, the
Price offered by the United States.

The recent strike of negroes in
the Danish West indies has reopened
the old question f the sale OF tho
islands to the United States. The gen
eral belief is that if the question Of
the sale comes up again in Parliament
it will receive a fovorable majority in
both Houses, provided the United
States offers greater sum than that
offered in 1901, about $4,3O0,O0O.
NJ. Hageman, the wealthiest planter
in the Danish West Indies, has just
published here q pamphlet ON the
situation from tie point OF view of
the most influential Danish residents
of the colony. NJ. Hageman favors the
sale. In the pamphlet he recognizes the
efforts made by the Danes to improve
conditions in the islands, but views
their future under Danish rule pessi,
unsteady. He particularly points out
that the population is decreasing
alarmingly, Infant mortality, he says,
is very high, having recently reached
631s per cent. The sanitary conditions
in the islands are very bad, according
to Mr.. Hageman.
The pamphlet SAYS the economic con.
ditions for the time being are fairly
good, as the sugar crop is excellent,
This, however !, not considered by
NJ. Hageman as auficient, and he ex.
poets return to bad conditions MS
soon as the prices Of sugar have fallen.

A curious case was started in the
district court of Rocks county. Dora
Howard filed suit for breach of pro-
mise against her former husband Bert
Howard, through her attorneys,
Smith & Else of Osborne, asking for
50, 900 damages. Bert and Dora How
ward lived together during many pio-
neer years of hardship, rearing fam.
lily of four children. She is white
woman, Bert part negro and part
Indian. In 1914 Mrs. Howard secur-
ed divorce onsthe ground of infidel-
ity, naming Mrs. Title Cooper as CO.
respondent. Six months later Title
Cooper sued Howard for breach of
promise, but was persuaded to drop
the matter on the promise of GER
tain sum to soothe her wounded feel
ings, which she declares was never
paid here. Bert finally made up with
the companion of his youth and is al
legged in the petition to have promis
ed to marry her once more. Again he
failed to keep his promise, according
to the complaint. Hence the strang'
case of divorced wife suing her for

In conversation with the writer a |
short time ago, Mr.. Benton told US |
that one of his dreams, which he |
hoped some day would come true. was
impounding the rainfall of western
Kansas. He has given a great deaf of
thought to this problem and figures
that by establishing two hundred one
acre ponds in each county in western
Kansas would revolutionize climatic
conditions and do away with hot
winds and drouth The water in
these ponds would evaporate and
return as rain and constantly replen-
ish the supply in the ponds. This
project would cost in round figures
81, 000,O which seems like large
sum, but many times this sum is spent
every year by congress in dredging
rivers upon which there is very little
navigation and for other schemes
which promise much less in returns
than Mr.. Benton's project would
mean to this country. AS everyone
knows, all we need to make this sect
| ion the garden spot of the world is an
average rainfall, and impounding the
waters. Mr.. Benton's ideas would
bring about this result. This is not
new idea, by any means, but western
Kansas has never sent to congress any
man with the ability to put it
through. Another benefit the i'm
i pounding of the waters would bring
would be to put stop TO the floods
in eastern Kansas. These food waters
originate in this western country and
if some means were found of holding
them out here there would be nc
more floods down the Kaw valley
i Another hobby of Mr.. Benton's i:
that the packers manipulate the stool
market. He has been interested il
the cattle and stock business to ;
large extent, in fact as stated above
he got his start in that business. H
has been shipping cattle to the Kan
sas City market for years. Some time
he would make money and some time
he would lose, although the stool
g was shipped and sold under exactl
3 similar conditions. That meant thei
Z was manipulation, and Mr. Benton
not alone in this matter. He pro
