A CAR LOAD OF BEANS
Now IN Transit and Will be Sold to the
Farmers of Ellis County Abso-
lutely at Cost.

Within the next few weeks our
President will probably issue call
which will take one million men from
the ranks of the nations producers
for the necessary defense of our
country. These men not only cease
to produce but will consume food
products to a greater extent per man
than when in civil life, as a soldier
must be better fed then when IN
ton with the heavy demand from
Europe will advance food prices i'm
mediately, higher than ever before in
our history and prices will continue
high for two or three year after the
war. The government will probably
take some steps to regulate prices
but action will be slow in coming and
it is a difficult problem.
The calamity which has overtaken
Central and Western Kansas also Ne
braska, in the heavy damages to win
ter wheat has already resulted in hea-
Wy advances in wheat and all other
grains. We who cannot go to the
front for our country can do our
share by seeding every acre possible
with spring crops and growing home
gardens. The high price of grain
makes it Improbable to feed live
stock and heavy advances in meat
may be looked for Should anything
happen to the crop of spring wheat
now being seeded actual famine
would be staring the country in the
face. Last years crops of grain were
the shortest in many years and wheat
stocks all over the country are very
low.
We are endeavoring to furnish the
farmers such seeds as we can obtain
at actual cost and we now have car
load of beans in transit which will
enable everyone to grow something to
eat. The price IS fourteen cents per
pound and they are being grown sue
cessfully in Eastern Colorado, Wyom-
ing and Utah. Planting can be done
up to June 18th with ordinary wheat
drills, they can be cultivated like
corn, in fact no new machinery is
needed. Twenty pounds will seed
an acre, and they add great fertility
to the soil and can be harvested in
time to SOW fall wheat. AS they are
an experiment in this country we do
not advise a large acreage but we
want them tried on five and ten acre
plots. We expect to get expert infOr-
nation as to growing and viii see
that everyone who plants them gets
the highest market price for what
they grow Our seed will arrive in
the next week. Corn, kaffir and other
sorghums are fine but plant something
you can eat yourself and remember

Everybody Clean Up

Hays City is to have big cleanup
day on Wednesday, April 25. The
city will send wagons around town on
that day to gather up all trash, tin
cans, which the citizens will rake up
and put in convenient piles, or pre-
ferably in sacks or boxes along the
street or alley adjoining their proper
ty. If possible get your stuff all
gathered up ready by the night before
so the wagons will not have to cover
the same territory more than once.
Let everybody join IN this good
work and help to make our city more
free from fire, healthier place in
which to live, and a community that
proves itself, in all things, possessed
of a genuine civic pride.
You can't afford not to clean up.
Come on, everybody, and do your
part. Geo. Philip, Jr., Mayor.

NEGROES COMING NORTH

To northerners who have lived or
travelled extensively in the south the
migration of negroes from Dixieland,
which has been in progress for more
than year back, will not come as a
surprise. The condition of the colOred
race in the south has been growing
more and more unbearable for the
past decade. In fact the treatment of
the negro by his white neighbor in
the south seems TO have become more
bitter of late than it was immediate
ly after the civil war. The southern
white, however, has overestimated his
power There are indications that he
has killed the goose that laid the
golden egg.
Negro labor is almost indispensable
in the south Without it the white
planter will find it extremely difficult
to harvest his cotton, and there are
other forms of work in which it will
not be easy to find a substitute for the
col0red man. The exodus of the negro
from the south is leaving some towns
almost deserted. and many sections
are suffering great loss because of
the sudden scarcity of negro labor So
permanent is the effect OF the migra-
ton, declared a colored minister who
has recently arrived in New York
from Alabama, that if the $4,000 me-
groes who came north within the last
year were offered good pay in their
former home towns. less than 10 per
cent. Of them would return.
AS an instance of the wholesale ex-
odus, Rev. A. L. James, of Ocala. Fla.
discovered a couple of weeks ago that
his entire parish had moved to New
York. He followed them and is or
ganizing them into church in the me-
tropolis
In another parish in Georgia a negro
preacher found that 80 families had
moved away in one week without his
knowing it, Secrecy is practiced by
the colored people in getting out of
the south because OF the obstacle that
would be placed in the way of their
leaving if their white employers knew
they intended to go. Most of the
southern states have laws making il a

Conn Samuel May OF your own city
was one who volunteered his services
as one OF her attorneys. The meet
ing refused to hear him When her
school was finally opened she was ar
rested for harboring young persons or

vate schools for nonresident colored
persons" and the news OF the passage
of the act was received in Canterbury
by the ringing OF church bells.
But why prolong the story?
We have but a small community in
Ocala, but We are living IN COMPARE

but little if any friction between the

And in this ambition for improve

of their white fellow citizens.
