KANSAS DAY.

1t has come again, and unlike the
maiden all forlorn, Kansas glories IN
the fifty-five years of her age, and
has good and sufficient reasons so to
do. Kansas, indeed, is fifty-five years
young. 1t may truly be said, in fact
that Kansas has no more than devel-
oped the virility of youth. A wonder
full future is still before her, and her
accomplishments of the past give
promise that she will take advantage
of the many magnificent opportunities
that are certain to come her way and
not a few of which are already at
hand. In the larger activities of state
endeavor, there is little in the past of
Kansas for which she need be
ashamed. Mistakes she has made, but
they are far more than offset by the
worthy deeds she has done. And the
spirit that created and has made Kan
sas what she is today is still para
mount in her people, even unto her
growing generations. There viii De

recalling her ideals. Perhaps. it is
not going to far to suggest that they
are impressing these ideals to a
greater or less extent upon the new
friends and neighbors with whom
they are now in contact; and that the
Kansas visions of a square deal for
ALL of honesty and justice in all things
and of working zealously for the great

II We Only Understood.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

My husband met your husband in
town the other day, and he said
George was in such a hurry that he
couldn't say anything but How do
you do?' and Goodbye to him" I
heard friend of mine say to another
friend whom she had not met for
some months
The other woman laughed. rs that
what your husband said % she cried
why, George said your husband
seemed in such a hurry that he didn't
feel like stopping him to ask about
you people, though he knew I'd want
to know
And then they both laughed. And
completely destroyed the little germ
of GOODNESS and hurt which (as l hap
pened to know had been on the
verge of getting in Its deadly work
on both of them.
What queer, unsubstantial, flimsy
stuff misunderstanding are made of.
l was deeply interested in that little
conversation, and 1 have chronicled it
here because it shows how easily two
people can misunderstood each other.
Neither of the men was in a hurry.
Both said so when they were asked
afterwards. Yet each gave the other
that impression and each felt a bit
hurt that an old friend should not
have had more time for friendly in
quiries.
When one thinks how fatally easy
it is to misunderstood acts and ap-
pearances and how completely i'm
possible to understand the motives
underneath them, it does not seem
S 7 a n g e h misunderstanding
among friends are so common. In
deed it seems strange that they are
not more common. We cannot under
stand the subtle interplay of motives
in our own minds How then should
we understand their working in an
others mind? And If we do not know
our friends motives, how can we dare
to be angry with him or judge him
Take back thy friend. Perhaps
ne did. surely he will not offend
again" is a beautiful old quotation
which often rings in my mind.
1t is 4 fine thought for the New
Year, is it not2
Friendship is a beautiful thing and
we should not let anything so trivial,
so false as some little misunderstood
ing take it from US.
1t is not too late to celebrate the
New Year by renewing that old friend
ship that has languished through
some little misunderstanding, and by
taking for a guard against future

quaint old poem, which has long oc-
cupied my scrapbook:
Gould we but draw back the curtain
That surrounds each others lives

Purer than we judge we should.
We should love each other better
If we only understood.'-(Pr Protect

ENORMOUS FOOD EXPORTS.

Almost three times the normal
quantity of foodstuffs was sent out of
the United States last year, says the
Philadelphia Commercial Museum.
The complete records of the shipments
for the first eleven months give total
of more than 500 million dollars,
which would indicate that approx
mately 1000 million dollars worth of
food left American shores during the
year. In 1913, the year before the
war began, the exports of food prod
ucts amounted to AIS million dollars
and in 1914, the trade in the last five
months of which was influenced by
the war, to 400 million dollars. 1t is
in breadatuffs that the growth has
been most pronounced, the shipments
in 1915 having been over 500 million
dollars, two and a half times the
value of the 1913 shipments and more
than double the value of those of
1914. Exports of wheat, oats, corn,
barley and rye have gone ahead by
leaps and bounds since the outbreak
of the war; wheat flour, too. has made
a big jump, particularly in the last
twelve months. In meat products
there is the same story of larger ship
ments. only the increases have not
been so marked nor so general, and
the trade has been fluctuating. The
growth in the expectation of fresh
beef has been little short of marvellous
the figure for 1915 being fifty times
that of 1913 Exports of canned beef
were twenty times larger in 1915 than
in 1918, and of picked and other
cured beef, twice as large. OF the
hog products. bacon, hams and shoul-
ders alone made large and consistent
gains. Exports of lard and of neutral
lard were less in 1915 than in 1918,
and lard compounds and other sub
stitutes for lard remained practically
stationary over the three year period.
This remarkable advance in the ex-
portatior of food products from the
United States in the last two years can
be attributed entirely to the war and
its influence 1t is, therefore, but a
temporary condition that there will be
slump. especially in breadstuffs. A

would vote money only in obedience
to a request from the administrative
branch; but it could grant or refuse
this request as conditions justified. Its
business would be that of criticism,
of investigation, and of veto. This
would greatly enhance the character of
both chambers. 1t would weed out
those members whose reelection de-
ponds chiefly on their ability to get
local opriations-certainly they
would be no loss to the nation. The
more serious members-and there are
plenty of them-who are really inter-
ested in the nations business and
would like to spend their time in it,
are now tormented constantly by the
importantly of their constituents. The
budget system would relieve them of
this. They would, therefore. have all
their time for serious work. Thus the
nation would not only save millions of
wasted money. but would get higher
type of lawmakers. And the patriot
ism of localities would find more
worthy outlets than campaigns to Sc
cure a lot of useless and expensive
architecture.

return to normal conditions will be
welcomed. for food production in the
United States for some years has been
turning from a resource to a prob
lem. Increasing population has
brought about a home consumption
that is not only overtaking home pro-
duction and reducing the normal eX-
port surplus, but one that was, before
the outbreak of the war, beginning to
draw upon foreign countries for GER
tain of its requirements. Nearly two
years ago James ]. Hill. in an ad-
dress before the National Export
Trade convention in Washington,
called the attention of the country to
the decline in the position of the
United States as a producer of food
stuffs, particularly of breadstuffs, and
warned that the movement could only
be checked by tremendous efforts to
induce better agriculture and a more
intelligent care of the soil. The con-
ditions to which Mr.. Hill called at

Kansas Comment

THE KANSAS SUPREME COURT.
Discussion is appearing in the
Kansas papers about the advisability
of re-electing the two members of the
Kansas supreme court who will come
before the people this year. These
two members are Associate Justices
Porter and West. OF the opinions of
these two justices taken line upon line,
and precept upon precept, there is
much reason to debate. Sometimes
good men and good lawyers would
agree with an opinion of either Judge
West or Judge Porter. and they would
disagree, with some emotional fire
works. But their work is not iEdivid
ual. They are powerful only as mem
hers of the supreme court of Kansas.
They are two votes in six, and the SUI
preme court of Kansas, as it now
stands, IS one of the wisest, sanest
courts in this country. 1t is abreast
of the times. 1t is a modern court, in
all its ideas and in its ideals. To
change it in respect to these two men,
even though they sometimes display
that human judgment that leads them
away from what one man may deem
right, would be unwise. The wisest
thing the voters of Kansas can do, is
to keep the supreme court this year
about as it is.-Emporia Gazette

WARS TERRIBLE TOLL.

And the frightfulness of this Euro
pean war is too extensive for the
imagination to grasp in anything like
an adequate manner. An official es-
innate of the casualties places them
at the astounding figure of 100000
men, killed. wounded and missing
the latter including prisoners. and of
the whole number no less than full
100000 of them are set down as
having been killed. How much long
er will the nations involved be able to
stand the strain on their human re-
sources, and what pitiable condition
the latter will be in when the war is
finally ended.

Such good eating as the chickadees
did find in the sunflower stalks! For,
you must know, chickadees CONSIDER
sunflower seeds the very best kind of
food: nothing seems quite so delicious
and tempting. CHEEKY and Biddy ate
and ate till they were warmed and re-
freshed and rested from the labor of
nest building.
Then, when the sun shone bright
and warm at midday, CHEEKY said to
Biddy, Lets look for food in the rub
bish of the garden. Let's look now,
while the sun is warm and the snow
has not quite covered the ground"
And Biddy, knowing that she had
had quite enough sunflower seeds for
one day, replied, Yes Iet's!"
So they flew down to the piles of
leaves that covered the garden beds.
Now if you had looked at that very
same pile of leaves and rubbish, it's
quite likely you would have thought.
Nothing here but trash!" But
CHEEKY and Biddy, looking at the
piles. chirped gaily to each other and
exclaimed delightfully."-, such a feasti
Such a feast,"
For, what do you suppose they
found in the rubbish? You'd never
guess! They found dead insects of
many kinds: grasshoppers, katydids,
lady-bugs. tiny flying creatures that
you and 1 hardly seel All the insects
that the frost and winter kills drop in

and make fine feasting for the indus

And eggs. Insect eggs of all sorts
and sizes! All the insects that lay
their eggs in the ground in neat little
balls, like the spiders. or on the under
side of twigs and grass blades like the
katydid, make fine eating for chicka-
dees-though the insects never know
it. They would hide the hide the eggs
more carefully If they did,
