VIRGINIA LEADERS
PLAINLY EMBARRASSED

The Virginia Democratic leaders in
Washington are plainly embarrassed
by Mr.. James's candidacy. in view OF
their promises to Mr.. Glass. They
feel that they are responsible for MIR
Glass's announcement. as they had urg-
ed him 10 stand for national commit
tecman in view OF the conspicuous SER
vice he has rendered the Democratic
party and the Wilson administration in
Congress. They felt that recognition
was coming to him from tho Democracy
of his own State. Mr.. James and many
OF the Virginia leaders in Washington
are warm personal friends. They nlso
realize that he has q claim upon their
influence for any party honors he may
desire. Therefore. Mr. James's candi-
dacy. coming as il Gid after the big
party leaders In Washington had urged
Mr.. Glass to become candidate and
promised him their support when he
consented, has created serious embar-
rassment
Senator Martin tonight stated that
he could not discuss the situation aris I.
ing out of the candidacy Of Mr.. James.
Mr.. Glass also declined to discuss the
matter.
The Democratic leaders are making
efforts to straighten out the situation.

cussed the volunteer army reserve sec
tion of the Senate bill with President
Wilson. The President was understood
TO favor It. Representative Hay is said
TO have told the President that the
House would not accept the volunteer
force. This section Of the Senate bill
makes provision for Federal re-
serve force OF approximately 200, 200
citizen soldiers. in addition to the Ma
tional Guard.
Champions OF the National Guard
feared that the proposed new force
would operate TO the great disadvan-
tage OF the guard. and there was
strong opposition to the plan in both
House and Senate.
Representative Hay also discussed
with the President the nitrate plant
feature. and the President insisted that

Chamberlain, Who Still Hopes

WASHINGTON. May 4.-Conferees on
the army reorganization bill lata to-
day disagreed on important features
of the measure. and adjourned until

ABOUT FEEDING THE HORSE

The efficiency of the farm horse
next spring and summer will depend
largely upon the feed and care it re-
ceives this winter, asserts DR.. c. w.
Campbell, associate professor of ami
NAL husbandry in the Kansas State
! Agricultural college.
Despite the fact that reeds are
high in price, the farm horse must be
we'll fed during the coming winter
months" said Doctor McCampbell.
"A study of market prices reveals the
fact that bran and alfalfa hay are
two Of the cheapest feeds available
when feeding value is considered.
Both are we'll adapted to winter
feeding because of the lighter work
of the farm horse during the winter
season, and because of the cooler
weather. This being true, both
should enter largely in the farm
uOloC WlhtCI.
"At present prices a combination
of parts of corn and parts of bran
is 20 cents hundredweight cheaper
than corn alone, and has practically
the same feeding value as an equal
weight of oats. Ten to IL pounds Of
alfalfa hay a day in place of prairie
hay will enable one to reduce the
grain ration approximately 20 per
cent.
Large amounts of roughage, such
as corn fodder, cane, and straw,
which might otherwise be wasted,
may be utilized when alfalfa hay is
fed, for the richness of the alfalfa
causes craving for other roughage."
The size of the draft hourse will
depend largely upon the feed and
care that the weanling receives dur
ing the first winter, asserts Doctor
McCampbell. In developing the colt,
it must be remembered that the feed
it gets the first IS months and es-
pecially the first winter determines to
great extent the size of the colt at
maturity. The size of horse de-
termines very largely it's value.
Good breeding gives wonderful
possibilities, but it takes feeding if
these possibilities are to be fully re-
allied. The best bred colt will be no
better than a scrub if fed upon a
starvation ration.
A draft colt makes one-half Of its
development by the time it is one
year old, hence the Importance Of a
good start. The colt should be
taught to eat grain before it is
weaned, and after being weaned
should be allowed liberal ration of

NEW TESTAMENT DEFINES A
UNIVERSITY
What is a University"

What is a University"
That question was asked DR.. Frank
Strong, chancellor of the University
of Kansas, recently.
You'll find the definition of uni
versity in the New Testament" Doc
tor Strong replied, Gin the words,
The truth shall make you Free A
university is an institution that en-
deavors to impart and promote in
tellectual freedom, some one has
said very accurately. University
training means openmindedness and
that means progress and achieve
ment. The minds Of many men are
closed and they are incapable of
progress. They haven't intellectual
freedom, cannot learn more truth be
it of science, religious, statecraft,
business or whatnot. The well
trained university man OF WOMAN
continues to grow. Beginning De-
cember IL the University Of Kansas
will keep open house to the. mothers
and fathers Of its students. The Uni
versity greatly desires the mothers
and fathers of its students to visit
their sons and daughters a few days
that week and to see just what the
University is trying to do with their
sons and daughters. The week will
be known as Mothers and Fathers
Week. but there will be no formal
program of entertainment to detract'
from the school work. Mother and
father can see the work as it actual
ly goes on and, truly, it is worth see

The real estate firm of Griffith &
Baughman has been doing a sure
enough land office" business during
the past month. In the last 40 days
they have sold thirty quarters of
land, averaging better than a, quar-
ter per day, a total of $500 acres.
This, together with the land deals
made by other real estate firms of
Liberal, and there have been quite a
few made, will give you some idea
Of how the land is moving at pres

city lots sold by any of the firms of
which there have also been quite a
number. Seward county is coming

Miss Webster has served two terms
as president of the society and has
always been a faithful worker in its
activities. She was presented with a
set of silver teaspoons by the mem
bers as token of the esteem in
which she was held by them. The
social committee, assisted by Mrs.
Hobble, served very dainty lunch to
the guests. Miss Webster left Sun

her home from now on. She will be
missed by her friends in the different
organizations of the church, but they
bespeak success for her in her new

has returned to Seward county and
closed a deal this week for four quar-
tiers of land through the Griffith &

also purchased two quarters at the

is more land changing hands in Sew

county in the United States ana
bringing higher prices than ever be-
fore in the history Of Seward.

Will Not Support Hughes I'm

MEAN THIRD TICKET
If Justice Is Named Without

The Bull Moose Prefers Wood
row Wilson to Root.
rBY JAMES j. MoNTAGUE.1

TBY JAMES j. MONTAGUE-1
Chicago, June 5.-Here are the i'm
portant developments of the day in
the convention. city:
1. Colonel Roosevelt notified his fol-
lowers over the telephone that he, for
one. would not support Hughes unless
Hughes would declare himself def
nitely. The colonel said that he had
picked one gold brick, meaning Will
liam H. Taft, and he did not propose
to pick another.
2. William Allen White, leader of
the uncompromising Progressives,
said: 1--WE will take Hughes if he
convinces us by straightout state
ment that he is not another Wilson.
We are satisfied with his record, but
we want to know where he is on pre-
paredness and foreign policy. If he
doesn't tell us we won't nominate
him"
3. E. A.2Van VaIkenbergh, editor of
the Philadelphia North American and
a field marshal in the Progressive
ranks, announced in so many words
an announcement acceptable to the
Progressives, a third ticket will be
named with Roosevelt at the head of
it.
Down ON Root.
AS for Root, or any other reaction
ary, so pronounced are the Progress
sives in their opposition, that one of
them, Oscar Strauss, will favor Pro-
gressive endorsement of Wilson If
such a man-is nominated.
OF the 985 delegates about 500 are
now in the city. OF these 248 were
counted for Hughes.
William Allen White is the one man
in the Progressive party who will COM
promise on nothing. He has tremen-
dous influence in the middle west,
wants nothing for himself and will be
power in the convention.
There will be great difficulty in
nominating Hughes if White does not
want him nominated.
1t was a bitter blow to the men in
control to have to modify the plat
form or to have to give up Root as
their candidate.
With their grip on the convention
Root could be nominated. 1t is the
first time they could have nominated
him. But now that they have the
time, the place and III the man they
haven't the courage. Root will not
be nominated because the leaders don't
dare to nominate him.
