FARM BUREAU
Shawnee County Farmers Fa-
vor County Agent Plan.
Meet Soon to Further Work of
Organizing Members.

The work of organizing a farm bu-
reau in Shawnee county is rapidly
progressing and many active farmers
in the county are interested in the
project. A number of them have al
ready signed up to become members
and those who are pushing the organ
ization hope in a few weeks to have
the necessary $50 members. Shaw
nee county will be the eighteenth in
Kansas to get a farm bureau unless
some other county gets in between
now and the time the Shawnee organ
ization is perfected.
When the farm bureau is organized
it will be time to go after county
agent, man who will maintain an Of
flee and distribute farm knowledge
among the farmers. The office OF the
agent is in the nature of a clearing
house for ideas-a place where farm
ers may swap" experiences and i'm
part to each other the results of tests
and experiments which he has sue
cessfully carried out.
Canvass the County.
Pomona grange has taken up the
work and the grange members are in
terested in the project Practically
every section of Shawnee county has
been visited and the sentiment in the
entire county seems favorable. The
most active workers are in the neigh
borhood of Sunnyside, Tecumseh,
Wakarusa, Auburn and Topeka, but 1t
is expected that Rossville, Silver Lake,
Dover and the other sections of the
county will also take up the work.
John F. Doane of Sunnyside is chair
man of a committee that is working
up the matter and the committee is
made up of farmers in different sec
tons of the county
Works With Farmers.
The farm bureau and the county
agent are supported by the state,
county, federal government and the
farmer-members. When the organi-
cation is completed an agent is ap-
pointed by the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. The agent co-operates
with the farmers and conducts cam
paigns such as hog-cholera campaigns,
seed-selection campaigns, alfalfa or
dairy campaigns, and arranges meet
ings of farmers in schoolhouses.
churches, town halls and other places
In case the farmers and the agent en-
counter problems in engineering.
drainage, soil treatment or other farm
branches that are unsolvable, the
agent consults men from the college
that are expert in that line and ar
ranges for a visit by the expert.
In Other Counties.
Farm bureaus and county agents
are maintained IN many couhtles IN
| the state and in every case the work is
| highly appreciated In Leavenworth
| county the agent has done valuable
work in eliminating hog cholera, help
| ing in seed selection and in many 9TH
er ways. In Jewell county farm bu-
reau is maintained and his work is val
liable to the farmers. Nemaha coun-
ty is the latest to secure an agent.
A meeting will be held within two
weeks for the purpose of furthering
| the organization. The date of the
meeting has not been given out bu-
will be announced later by the COM
| rnittee.

the three small islands of st. Croix
st. Thomas. and st. John, aggregating
138 square miles and possessing pop
ulation of 27.086 persons, mainly FREQ
negroes engaged in the cultivation of
sugarcane. The islands. however. are
of strategic Importance, particularly in
relation to the Panama canal.
Germany Tried to Buy.
Acquisition of the islands by an
overseas power would be regarded by
the United States as a violation of the
Monroe doctrine. This menace will
be removed by cession of the islands
to the United States.
Seward negotiated the purchase of
the islands in 1857 for $7.500.000, but
the treaty failed of ratification by the
senate. Germany once sought to buy
the islands and the United States
warned Danmark against making the
sale. In 1902 Secretary of State Hay
negotiated the purchase for $5,000,000,
but the treaty was rejected by the
Danish parliament, as the result of
German influence.
Within the last few years a German
corporation built immense docks at
st. Thomas, and it was reported that
Germany war intent on gaining foot
hold in the group.

CRAB The ISLANDS
United States May Take Over
Danish West Indies.
Seek Ratification by Denmark
and q. s. Senate.

washington, May 13.-Now that
Germany is at war, will Uncle Sam
improve the opportunity to take over
the Danish West Indies? According
to well authenticated reports, Presi-
dent Wilson is concluding negotiations
for the purchase of these islands. The
price tentatively agreed upon Is S.
900, 900. A treaty, according to these
reports, has been drafted by Secretary
of State Lansing and Constantin Brun
the Danish minister mere.
Extraordinary measures have been
adopted to guarantee contamination
of the deal which twice before has
been frustrated by the opposition of
the German government to acquisition
of the islands by the United States
The plan is to put through the scheme
at once while Germany is too busy
fighting the allies to interfere.
Keep 1t Quiet.
The utmost secrecy regarding the
negotiations is being observed and it
Is intended to seek simultaneous
ratification of the treaty by the
American senate and the Danish par
lament at single sitting.
If the cession of the islands be eff
fected, President Wilson will have
broken all records in the last fifty
American dominion and influence. He
already has established a protectorate
over Haiti and acquired powerful in
Huence over Nicaragua by purchase
of the interoceanic canal right of way.

II you want to be a model man,
'Tis simple goodness knows,
Just wear lot OF swagger toys
And strut around and pose.
New York, May 13.-Yes, tits true,
the worm will turn and this summer
the silk worm has turned its efforts
from the fair to the sterner sex. 1t is
terribly busy spinning the wherewithal
to clothe 'me lord in a stunning silk
| en- summer suit.
Last year the summer man seemed
cool and content in Palm Beach suits
of ordinary hempen weave. but this
season he shifts at anything short
of silk.
Arrayed in Tussore or Pongee, he
will lay siege to frail hearts and press
his suit after it has been well tubbed.
He will undoubtedly owe as much
to his laundryman as to his tailor for
his success sartorially this season
gratitude, 1 mean, of course, not
moneys, although perhaps it may be
a little of both.
| The Tussore and Pongee suits are
| tremendously attractive and also de-
| Hghtfully cool. Many of the best mod
els show coats with pleated backs and
half belts.
All the boys will vie with belted
Earls nowadays for the belted coat is
quite the thing. Not only in the sum-
mer silk models but on coats OF serge
| and light weight tweeds-
The belted coats of navy serge will
be quite smart for country and out
| ing wear with trousers OF striped
white flannel and will cause many a
female heart to surge with admira-
| ton.
But after all before, below and
above everything, the silks the thing
Silk shirts of heavy tub silk, striped
and designed in the newest yellow,
orchid, green and porcelain plue
shades are very smart. worn with the
soft collars of plain OF corded white
silk.
| Among the newest silken scarfs,
those of small patterned foulard and
pastel tinted silk crepe are numbered
first in favor.
ChasteIy pure and white are the
chosen socks of silk that will adorn
the too oft clayey feet of our mascu-
line idols
best foot forward in either work or
play In other words it will be worn
to meet both business and social ends,
although for very dressy occasions a
| fast black clock keeps 1t more up with
festal times.
A very smart imported model even
| goes so far as to show three black
clocks, one on each side and one right
up the center of the instep. Needless
to say, this pair is decidedly striking.
| Plenty of silk will be on manly hand
also for the silk glove, pearl grey or
chamois colored, stitched in black, will
be much worn as we'll as the glace
kid gloves that have been made to
wash as beautifully as the long worn
| chamoisette ones.
Verify it seems to portend busy
season indeed for the silk worm and
the laundress. Everything being silk
and washable, Sylvester may almost
safely take his tub attired in full
regalia-
Anyway there will be as little good
excuse for soiled masculine garments
this summer as for soiled masculine
regulations.

HOSPITAL OPENS TO-DAY.
Hoffman Memorial at Little River
Built by Early Settler.

Little River, Kan, May 13.-The
Hoffman Memorial hospital opened at
noon today. A public reception was
held, with music by a band and or
chestra. c. F. Foley, a member of the
Kansas public utilities commission,
was scheduled to speak at 1880 o'clock
this evening.
The hospital was built by George NJ.
Hoffman. president of the Citizens
State bank. at a cost of $4,000. 1t
is one of the finest buildings of its
kind in the state. Mr.. Hoffman is a
pioneer settler of Kansas and in the
early days was a resident of Topeka
for five years. Following a career of
several years as a bullwhacker and
cattle driver, he settled at Little River
and began farming. Through his
faith in Kansas he accumulated for
tune estimated a half million.
