The Cause of Gout,

(By VALENTINE NJ. PIERCE. M. d.
According to the consensus of opin-

acid in the blood The same effect

DRY WINTER RECORD
Wheat in Many Parts of State Has Not
Yet Sprouted.

February had less precipitation than
any other month but one on record in
Kansas and closed the driest 3-month
period since state wide weather OBJ
serNations were begun 80 years ago,
according to summary of reports
from 125 stations of the United States
weather bureau that cover conditions
in practically every county, issued here
today. At several individual stations
where weather records have been kept
for longer period, the winter of 1916
1917 has been the driest for more than
so years. The summary follows:
More sunshine than usual and
great variation in temperature oc-
Cured in connection with the ex-
tremely dry weather of the month. On

on the 22d and 25th temperatures of

maximum of So was reported at
Utica which is, with one exception the
highest February temperature of the
state record.

western part. reported enough to
mOisten the upper soil to any notice
able extent, and there it fell as snow
on the last two days.
Wheat has made practically no
growth for three and a half months
and is in a critical condition on ac-
count of the long drought. 1t is
short, and thin on the ground but re-
ports generally indicate it is still alive
and capable of making a fair crop if
sufficient moisture falls before warm
weather begins and starts it growing
again. 1t has been protected from
winter killing to a great extent by a
dust mulch the surface of the
ground which has been too dry to
freeze and has held some moisture
around the roots of the plant. Re
ports of the soil blowing in the west
ern part of the state are not serious.
In some western counties wheat has
not SprOuted yet.
| THE absence of snow or sleet, and
the sunshiny weather have made it a
favorable month for stock, though
water is scarce in many eastern
counties. In the southeastern coun-
ties a great deal of spring blowing has
| been done and some oats sown.

corporation at Once.
j. Frank Smith Offered Position
of General Manager.

The officers and directors of the
Kansas Good Roads association held a
called meeting at the headquarters of
| the association at the National hotel
| last night after the good roads dinner
at the Chamber of Commerce and af-
ter general discussion of the future
work decided to ask for a charter and
| incorporate the association. The pur-
poses of the association as outlined in
the application for a charter are to
promote the construction and main
tenance OF better earth roads, secure
greater skill among our road officials
to advocate wise, equitable and prac-
teal road legislation, to secure just
and efficient expenditure of highway
funds, and the construction of per-
manent bridges, culverts and 365 day
highways"
The management of the association
will be vested in nine directors, one
from each congressional district and
one at large. The directors will have
power to employ a general manager
and cooperate with him in a state
wide campaign for better roads
1t was decided to begin at once to
obtain new members to the association
and increase the number to many
thousand. The plans outlined at the
meeting last night provide for a five
year campaign of education and road
promotion.
Headquarters in Topeka.
Headquarters will probably be
established in Topeka if suitable ar
rangements can be made.
J. Frank Smith, president of the
Kansas Good Roads association, who
has been the head of the association
since the last meeting in November
and who conducted the campaign for
the new road laws that have been en-
acted by the present session, has been
offered the position of general mana
ger and will probably accept. He has
demonstrated his ability as a success
full road booster and the aim is to
continue the lively interest in better
; roads that is so universal at this time.
There are now over LOO paid up
members to the association. The road
lobby headed by Mr.. Smith, conducted
vigorous but dignified campaign and
at the finish has the respect and con-
fidence of every member of the legis-
lature as we'll as all friends of the
good roads movement. and has over
ST 900 in cash left from the funds
raised for the campaign.
AS soon as the charter is granted
and the new manager gets established,
the real work of promoting good roads
will be started and carried into every
county where the people desire assist
| ance or information about the new
road laws. Liberal offers of financial
! support to the new manager have
come from almost every quarter and
the outlook for a strong, effective five
year campaign is very flattering.
