Experiment Station Notes

The Fort Hays Experiment Station
finished threshing 5000 bushels of
wheat last week. The heavy storm and
wind damaged the tops and bottoms
of the stacks. About one-third was
therefore low grade. This was handled
for the station by the Farmers Union
Elevator. The other twO-thirds tested
fifty-seven and Is stored in the Sta
tons elevator. The best field aver
aged 1876 bushels. The whole aver
aged six and one-half bushel per acre.
While this is low average, at zoo
per bushel it is a paying crop. The
Station has already sold 1000 bushels
at $3.50 a bushel. This crop was the
result of rotation OF crops and COM
pacing the soil before seeding last
year Those who plowed before these
rains have their soil compacted for
the next.
The Station employees observed
Labor Day Wednesday instead of
Monday, after completing the thresh-
ing.
Prof. Cochel and Prof. Reed of the
Kansas State Agricultural College at

ed Registrar A. F. Becker of the Fort
Hays Normal to say that this fall viii

Kansas will surpass anything IN the
past.

Last week on Thursday the pastor
and four delegates went to Paradise,
Kansas, to attend the Upper Solomon
Valley Baptist Association. This is
composed of a number of Baptist
churches in this section and meets
annually for helpful conference and
inspiration. The pastor of the local
church spoke five times. The report
taken by the local church to the meet.
ing was encouraging and showed a
marked increase over the work of the
year before, both in respect to mem
bership and finances. There never has
been a time in the history of the local
organization when the prospects have
been so bright as at this time.
The regular services will be
resumed next Sunday, the pastor
preaching both morning and evening.
The Young People will meet for con
ference for the years work On We'd
nesday evening at prayer meeting
those who attended the Association
will give report of that meeting. All
are urged to be present for that ser
vice for by so doing you will be able
to learn some of the things that were
done during the past year and the
things that are being planned for the
next year.

The True Etiology of Hay Fever

The True EtIoIogy or F1ay FeVer.
After all the noted scientists, and
nose and throat specialists failed to
solve the difficult Hay Fever problem
10 and behold, local authority comes
forth with a most plausible explana-
ton. She claims that a certain Hays
gentlemen who is afflicted with a
very severe case of clay Fever" con-
tracted it beyond doubt from weep
ing grass widow. To back up her
statement she points to certain inocu-
lationand experiments which wereap-
piled upon the gentlemen. When he
returned from the mountain his
health was much improved for the
time being.
Sad to say the proof of the pud-
ding is that he had a relapse.

English men of war have no Ice making machines on board. as do oui slips, and everybody knows how the English fail to understand us on the subject of the use of ice especially in our drinks.
 An English officer was aboard one of our ships of the Asiatic fleet and, on being served with an iced drink. commented on the delights of having e ol water aboard. The American officer responded with an offer of a small cake of ice, which was sen. the following morning. Meeting the Eng lishman ashore a week later. the A mcrican asked him if he enjoyed the ice.

A shaker colony at Shakesrtown. Ky, which has been run on the con- munity principle with considerable srccess for number of generations is now practically at the end of is career. Only three old people are left as the owners of about a million dol- lars worth of property and they have no heirs. The cause of this decline was the Shaker rule against marry ing which seems to have been faithful ly observed. Otherwise their princi- pies were admirable including thrift, industry, and devotion to ideals with a resultant material prosperity be-

New York restaurant has an- nounced that 1t will furnish diversion to its patrons "between the close of .te theaters and reasonable bed time." This brings up the matter of the point of view again. In some parts of the country a reasonable bed- time is after the stock is bedded down which Is about eight o'clock. Other people consider a reasonable bedtime just after they get home from pray CT meeting which is usually at nine twenty. In NNome a reasonable bed time is between eleven and twelve except on such nights as 1t Is not between three and four. And a uni vtrsal rule is that reasonable bed . time has arrived when there Is no other place to go to.

LITTLE STORIES OF THE WEEK

Mrs. w. H. Gascoigne and little
daughters arrived Tuesday from Spo-
kane to spend couple of weeks with
Mrs. Gascoigne's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. j.. Rudkin.
Jas. d. Zurcher, of the legal de-
partment of the O-W. R. & N, at
Portland, visited yesterday at the
home of his uncle and aunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. s. M. Henderson.
]. C. McClelland, former deputy
sheriff, has accepted a position as
night man for the Kennewick Trans
fer company. He will move his fam
lily here from Prosser within the next
few weeks.
Mrs. w. N. Voegtly entertained a
number of friends Tuesday afternoon
with a bridge party in the parlors
of Hotel Kennewick. Twelve tables
were played with honors going to
Mrs. w. H. Gascoigne, Mrs. w. L.
Craver and Mrs. Donald Stull.
Mr.. and Mrs. Emil Albrecht re-
turned the first of the week from CAL
lfornia where they spent the winter.
Mr.. Albrecht says that he has always
felt that perhaps he made a mistake
when he located here before first see
ing California, but that now he knows
that he made no mistake. California
is all right for the millionaire, but no
place for the farmer in his opinion.
