swEDEs LIKE JACK LONDON.

More space was given te Jack Lon
don by the Swedish papers than to
Emperor Francis Joseph. news of
whose deaths was'received at almost
the same time. Long biographies,
profusely illustrated, were published
by most Of the papers. and genuine
sorrow was displayed generally at
London's death. No other contem-
poraneous American author was as
popular and widely read in Sweden
as Jack London. Tweny-four of
his stories have appeared in transla-
lion since 1907, and sales have
reached nearly 2SO,OOO. London
oiSce told his Swedish publisher, ac-
5cording to the latter's statement,
that, considering population, his
books were more widely read in Swe-
Sen than anywhere else.

Plenty Seed In Kansas

Topeka, Kansas, April, 30.
Meade county is we'll supplied
with seed, according to four re-
plies to an inquiry sent out by
the Kansas council of defense to
farmers aud others in that coun-
ty. Two reported the county
fairly well supplied and two poor.
ly supplied.
Reports from 80 Of the los
counties IN the state show a gen.
orally satisfactory condition, all
seeds considered. From IS,
counties come. reports of more
oTiess shortage. In 40 coun-
ties, however, there is INSULT
cient seed Of ka6r, milo, feterita
and the other sorghum crops.
Even for planting the sor-
ghums, however, the Kansas
farmer need not ship IN any seed
with the risk of its not being
adapted to conditions in this
state. Thousands of bushels of
seed of all the common Kansas
grain crops have been listed with
J. G. AMohler, secretary of the
council, by farmers who wish to
sell, and any community or indi-
vidual who wants the list will be
supplied.

ONE DEBT NEVER oUTLAWED
Certain That in the End
He Must Pay.

"You always pay, you know"
said the forger, Whiteman, who was
captured recently in Cincinnati,
after years of liberty as a fugitive
from justice.
Sure you do. Whether you vio-
late mans law or natures law, which
is another name for Gods law, YOU
always have to pay, and the full
price, too. Some pay, as Whiteman
did, in lodging and Sinking through
the world like a hunted beast, his
mind worried, his face gradually
taking on a furtiye look, knowing
always that somewhere ahead lay the
steel-jawed trap all set and ready.
Some pay with broken health ;
others with broken hearts; some sur
render friends and love; some give
all in life worth living for; some
cast their conscience: to be gnawed
by the wolves Of remorse; some not
only pay their own share IN full, but
shift part of the burden to their chill
dren, even to the third and fourth
generation; for the debt must sbe
paid to the last f@thing. Kansas
