Democratic Council Supports a
Capper Plank.
Endorse Plan Turned Down by
the Republicans.
PROHIBITION is PASSED UP
Nor Did BOurbOnS Have Time
for Suffrage Idea.
Meeting in Topeka Planned for
Big Campaign.

While the Republican platform COM
mittee was holding an inquest over
one of Governor Capper's prize plat
form planks, the Democrats were
writing that same plank in their dec
laration of principles. That was
about the sum total of the strategy
game in the two party councils in To-
peka Tuesday. The Democrats stole
the plank providing for receiverships
through the public utilities commits
sion, after Governor Capper had care
fully prepared it for the Republicans.
Apparently the receivership plan
was the one thing about the Capper
administration which the Democrats
cared to endorse. The Bourbon plat
form is an assault on the Capper rec
ord from January L 5, 1915, to January
s, 1917, and as long thereafter as Gov
ernor Capper stays on the job. And
as evidence that the platform commit
tributes and flattering COMPILING nts
for the Wilson administration in
Washington. With it all was just as
much enthusiasm as the visiting post
masters and federal appointees could
arouse from the men in the ranks who
viewed the prospect of doing the
heavy work in the campaign.
One Brand New Plank.
One plank in the Democrat plat
government in the handling of county
affairs. Prohibition and national suf-
frage were sadly forgotten.
An initiative and referendum such
as they have in Oregon was ap-
proved by the Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis also came to President Wilson'S
record in the railway strike. They de-
clared for an "eigh-hour day for rail-
way employees and others in industrial
pursuits"
Other platform planks included
mothers pensions, abolition of useless
jobs, revision of the system for dis
tribution and collection of taxes par
ticipation with federal government in
highway building, abolition of need
less state offices, continuation work
state welfare commission, extension
work small debtors court Legislation
concerning minimum wage and maxi
mum hours.
Hubert Lardner. the new chairman
of the Democratic state committee

WOULD RUIN GRAIN
If Rain Arrives in Kansas
Ahead of Wheat Cars.
Farmers Forced to Return
Loads From Elevators.

Great Bend, Kan, Aug. 30.-The
farmers of central and western Kan
sas have regular gold mines piled up
in their farm yards and are unable to
realize on them. They have the larg-
est and best wheat crops in years and
with the price lowering close to $3.50
a bushel, they are unable to get their
crop to the market because of lack of
cars.
Piled along the main lines of the
Missouri Pacific, Santa Fe and Union
Pacific railroads running through GEN.
trail and western Kansas are great
mountains of wheat that the farmers
have been trying to get to the mar
ket, but so far their efforts have
failed.
The elevator companies have quit
buying wheat because they are unable
to ship it. Most of them have piles
containing from 1000 to $4,000 BUSH
els near their buildings and now re-
fuse to take a chance by buying any
more. as they do not know when they
will get cars.
Few Have Storage Place.
For awhile farmers hauled their
wheat to the cities and were forced to
have storing facilities on their farms
and they have been forced to pile the
grain on the ground So far the sea-
son has been an extremely dry one,
but a big rain would spoil thousands
of bushels.
A typical case is found at Hoising-
ton, Kan, about ten miles from here.
There are three elevators in Hoising
ton. The managers state that they
could have used 125 cars each or 375
cars in all since the harvest started.
Instead they have had but about two
cars each week or not more than
fifty in all.
Hoisington is a division point on
the Missouri Pacific railroad and is
branch lines where they have had
practically no cars since harvest.
Wheat Is of Good Quality.
Il have about twenty thousand
| bushels of wheat stored in my ele-
vator and on the ground" said J. L.
Lynch, owner of one of Hoisington'e
elevators. Il have had an average OF
a car a week from the railroads and
am better off than most of the other
elevator men. We have quit buying
wheat altogether and will be unable to
handle any more until the cars start
coming in. So far the railroads have
made no explanation of the shortage
except to say most of their cars are
in the east
The wheat in Kansas this year tests
about sixty-four pounds to the bushe

previous years it tested from Sc to SIS

SIKH BOY WHO WON FAME
Queen Victoria Gave Silver Cup to
Ram Singh, an Indian
Artist.

The story of Sirdar Bahadar Ram
Singh, whose death occurred recently,
is that OF a Sikh boy, born In humble
circumstances, who rose to honor and
distinction by his own merit and en-
deayor and WHO remained, in spite Of
that distinction, unspoiled, a kind
hearted, modest, genuine man to the
end. Il. J." writes in the Indiaman.
Ram Singh, as a lad, attracted the
attention of Lockwood Kipling. father
Of Rudyard Kipling, and under the
auspices of the famous Anglo-lndian
artist the young son Of n Punjabi cul-
tivator became almost equally widely
known as a designer. Later he sue
ceeded to Mr.. Kipling's post as prin-
cipal Of the Mayo School of Art at La
hore.
In 1891 Ram Singh was ordered to
proceed to England to design and su-
pervise the decorations of the Durbar
hall at Osborne house. The new room
vas to be III Indian style, and the
work was executed with remarkable
beauty and effect. The queen took
great personal interest in the work
during its progress, and much admired
it on completion. Ram Singh might
have obtained many commissions in
England after that, but he was a sin
gularly unambitious, modest man. He
loved his work, bat in the strange sur
~roundings he was often homesick, and
in 1892 he returned to the Punjab with
the treasured possession of a silver
cup given him by Queen Victoria and
4 letter in her majesty'S WI hand
writing.

"BaIl LiahtninQ."

Some progress is reported in solving
the mystery Of ball lightning An
investigator enulnerates three signifi-
cant characteristics of the phenOme-
non The body or ball itself, which is
able to retain its individuality as ii
moves through the air, appears to be
composed of gas or matter in Sonle
novel luminous condition. The balls
appear to exist independently Of any
large electrical intensity. for they have
been observed within closed DORIS
where large electrical fields are impos-
sible, and have also been observed to
pass in and out Of parallel telegraph
wires. They appear to be associated
directly O + indirectly with large guam
titles Of energy, for they have been OBJ
served to explode with violence and
have also been seer to fuse the over
head wire of an electric railway. DR..
G.. c. Simpson is inclined to connect
the phenomenon of bail lightning with
the fact that a mass of nitrogen can be
put, by meanS of an electrical dis
charge, into a state in which it con-
tinues to glow for some time after be-
ing removed from the electrical field.

PROTECTION OF STOCK
How to Make Effectual Lightning
krrestor on Fence.
Effective Safety Device May Be Made
by Using Ordinary Fence Wire
Place Ground Wires About
Ten Rods Apart.
(By J.

An astonishing number OF stock are
killed each season by lightning, and
not q few human beings, and in almost
every case the dead stock is found
near a wire fence. There is no doubt
but that a large portion Of this stock
and human life could be saved by
grounding the wires of the fence, but
as this calls for a large-sized, rather
expensive wire or iron rod, it is seldom
done.
An effective safety device may be
easily constructed as follows: Any or
binary smooth fence wire may be
driven four or five feet deep in the
hardest soil-at either depth the wire
is sure to be in damp, wet soil ut all
seasons Of the year. Two ! by 12-inch
boards, four or five feet long, are
shaped like a flight of steep steps Gas
shown in the accompanying illustra-
tom.
The step-shaped notches should be
about six inches in height and one and
one-half inches deep; in the top CEN
ter of each step q small groove is cut

These should be one-fourth inch wide
and about one-eighth of an inch deep

and straight as possible. but can be

wire in the top hole; drive down to
the wood, lift the device and place the
wire in the next hole, and SO on un-
til the last hole is reached.
In this manner a very small wire
may be driven in the ground without
bending, and only six inches of same
is above the wood at one time. Splice
the ground wire and connect same to
each wire of the fence and you will
have a first-clasS lightning arrestor.
The distance apart these ground
wires should be placed is a question
the writer places them every eight
or ten rods.

OVERCOMING GARLIC IN MILK
Farms-keep Cows Off Garlicky
Pastures Is Best.

What is the best way to remove
the garlic taste in milk? This cues
ton has been asked.
Though large milk establishments
have mechanical processes for taking
odors out of milk and cream by
mean Of an air blast, there is no
practical method for use on dairy
farms. An aerator would perhaps
be Of some slight advantage, but pre-
vention is the best cure Keeping the
COWS off garlicky pastures several
hours before milking is the most eff

One of the best ways to kill wild
garlic in pastures is TO turn In sheep.
They like the tops, and in a few years

PINK EYE QUITE INFECTIOUS
Disease Travels Through Herd Of Cat
tie Rapidly, Apparently IRE
spective Of Age.

(By ". p. SHULER, Department OF
Veterinary Medicine, Oklahoma A. and
NJ. College, Stillwater)
The true cause of pink eye in cattle
is unknown. It's righteousness cannot
be doubted. 1t travels through a herd
rapidly, apparently irrespective of the
its course in eight or twelve days and
may result in a satisfactory recovery
or the animal may be partially or to-
tally blind in one or both eyes as a
result Of the attack. Apparently ami
mails do not become immune to this
disease. 1t is manifest by a watery
appearance Of the eye, which later be-
comes more or less prurient and the
eyelids become gummed together. This
attracts flies and is a very unsightly
thing, as well as a torture to the af-
fected animal. The treatment should
be as follows:
Segregate the affected animals by
putting them if possible in a shady
pen. Keep an abundant supply Of
pure, cool drinking water before them,
and treat the eyes twice a day rs fol-
lows: First wash off tho lids and eye
lashes with warm water and CASTLE
soap, then open the eye by catching
up the upper lid with the thumb and
first finger and rolling it back over the
second finger. BY means of a medicine
dropper or cotton swab, wash the eye
out with the following solution:
Pyoktanin ten grains, boric acid
four drains. lead acetate one dram.
water sufficient to make eight ounces.
