Grafton of the bill and with Hersh-
berger and other Bourbons, fought
the bill when Allen jockeyed 1T to
third reading
Uninvited and Unannounced.
1.-THE governor came before us I'M
land, yet he did not produce single
fact to warrant US to change our &C
tion-further than to express the
wish that someone else be given eX-
traerd1nary power, said dolland-
THE bill does not give relief. 1t
merely gives extra employment to
someone under dominion of the pub
lie utilities commission"
Martin of Reno, gave his closing
time to Stone of Shawnee. The To-
peka lawyer went into the facts in the
gas case as he knew them. Nor did
he spare the governor. At times
Stone was bitter in his denunciation
of the tactics, of the state executive.
"A receivership program such as
the governor offered in his campaign
last fall, I wouldn't support in a
thousand years." said Stone But
after loud statements and many
charges, he offers us this bil1-a meas
ure as harmless as a babe at its
mothers breast. 1t means nothing,
it does nothing. 1t is a weak, mean
ingless offer after a trial of a case
in the newspapers and on the stump.
This bill is not what the governor
promised the people. Not within a
thousand miles. Under this bill the
public utilities commission could
never appoint a receiver. 1t could
never wind up receivership or take
action except on approval of the
courts and by the same process now
provided by statutes''
Defense of EIannelly.
Then Stone went into the details OF
the Kansas Natural Gas receivership
with a defense for Judge Fiannelly
4 want to tell you Judge Elan
nelly's record is as clean as a hound S
TOOTH said Stone. Il want to tell
you further the gas company's rec
ord is clean. Had that company been
permitted to carry out the franchise
agreements which it made with Kan
sas towns, a receivership would never
have been directed. But the public
utilities commission, created in 1911
was given power to fix and regulate
rates. They interfered with auto
matte advances provided in fran
chises, the gas company was COM
PEELED to seek new fields, spend large
sums of money and receive no extra
return. In that long drawn out re-
ownership every dollar spent was ap-
proved by the bondholderS and by the
court. Only once-and that on d
matter of procedure-was Judge
Flannelly reversed in the many cases
he tried. And now the public utilities
commission is fighting not for the
state of Kansas, but for it's own eX-
istence."
The enacting clause was stricken
from the bill by a vote of SO to At.

CLEAN UP ATWOOD
Poker Players and Crap Shoot
ers Caught i'm Drag Net.
Thirty-Five Prominent Citizens
Are Fined for Gambling.

Atwood. Kan. Feb. 2S.-The
school fund of Rawlins county has
been replenished to the extent of
about S7O0- This was brought about
by arrests and fines. One of the pio-
neer settlers of Rawlins county, who
has lived in Atwood since the '70's,
says the arrest of thirty-five or more
card players and crap shooters is the
greatest dragnet haul in the history
of Atwood. Many of the arrests are
married men, Democrats as well as
Republicans, farmers and townspeo-
pie and some of them prominent in
Atwood affairs.
All of those arrested pleaded guilty
to gambling and were promptly fined
$40 each and SO costs, aggregating
about $500, which was promptly paid.
Three escaped the clutches of the
law by getting away before the war
rants could be served.
These wholesale arrests show that
the officers of the law will do their
duty in Rawlins county, including the
sheriff, county attorney and the jus
tees of the peace, c. r. Mettler and
D. o. Chessmore. With the bone dry
prohibitory law in full force, these
wholesale arrests and fine of poker
players and crap shooters will have a
wholesome effect on the morality of

MONEY In GEESE
Most Profitable Poultry. Says Aggie
Poultry superintendent.

Manhattan Kan, Feb. 2S-Raise
geese, A few of them will pay on
every Kansas farm, in the opinion of
N L. Harris, superintendent of the
Kansas State Agricultural college
poultry farm
Geese are exceptionally good
rangers and can be raised more eco
nomically than any other kind of
poultry" said Mr.. Harris. Waste
ground may be inclosed with 24-inch
hog wire and the geese allowed to
feed at will on grass and insects. If
the ground is damp or wet and the
supply of tender green feed is plenti-
full the geese grow rapidly and are
ready for market when IL to 16
weeks old.
when the geese are six weeks OF
age they get their living from grass,
bugs and worms and require little if
any grain. They may be turned out
to forage during the day.
The best breeds to raise in Kansas
are the Embden, a white goose, and
the Toulouse, a gray goose, in the
opinion of Mr. Harris. These are the
largest geese. Because no water need
be provided for swimming purposes,
they are called dry land" geese.
The young geese seldom lay more
than 20 eggs a year and from 80 to
40 is an exceptionally high record for
an older goose. Geese for breeding
purposes can be profitably kept until
they are from to 4 years old

MIGHT OFFEND HIS "FoLKS"
Militia colonel's Reason for Ordering
Release Of Prisoner Amazes Off.
GER Of Regulars.

1t Is generally believed that the old
differences between the regulars and
the National Guard have been wiped
dusty summer weeks In maneuver
camps have made the National Guards
man the equal of the regular army
man. There may be n lot of truth in
this assumption, too, but there Is one
lieutenant in the regular army who
will never, believe that she militia will
amount to row of beans until Off
cered by regulars, says writer on mil
itary affairs.
This is partly accounted for by his
experience on the Me dcan border a
few months ago. There had been con-
siderable rowdyism on the part Of en-
listed men begging and stealing rides
TO and from town on the running
boards of automobiles, and orders had
gone forth TO stop the nuisance. Con-
sequently, when one large and pugna-
cious milltiaman was arrested by the
guard for dlsobeying the order, this
! lieutenant of whom l write ordered the
pugnacious one immured in the guard
tent. The lieutenant happened to be
officer of the day and in charge of the
situation. The milltiaman showed
fight, so the lieutenant told the guard
to sit on the mans neck, II necessary

GROW BROILERS FOR MARKET
Early cockerels Not Intended for
Breeders Should Be Fattened Up
and Sold.

Early coclsereis, unless kent for
breeding purposes, are best sold for
broilers or fryers.
On the average farm it is not prac-
tical, because Of rush of work, to hatch
chickens extremely early hence they
do not reach the market early enough
in the spring to bring the best prices.
The price, of course, depends upon the
market and the demand.
Growing brolers for market is a spe-
ciallZed industry and is not always
profitable. On the large markets broil-
ers are classified as small, medium and
large. They weigh from three-quarters
of pound to "a pound and one-half
each.
Young chickens as sold by farmers
are frequently not properly fattened.
no attempt being made to get maxi
mum returns. Confining broilers in
crates holding from six to eight birds
and feeding an exclusive diet of wet
mash, composed of cornmeal and
wheat mlddlings mixed with sour milk
or buttermllk the consistency OF bat
ter gives best results, but broiiers
thus fattened lose weight quickly
when shipped alive.
For the farmer this method Is
usually impracticable. A better method
is that of combining young cockerels In
groups of % to 30 In a small pen where
their exercise is restricted. Feeding the
birds cracked corn helps the quality OF
the meat and increases the weight con.
slderably.

sBockache

In spite Of, the best care one takes
OF on II, any part Of the'human machine
Is liable to become out Of order. The
most important organs are the stomach,
beart and kidneys.
The kidneys are the scavcngers and they
work day and night in separating the
poisons from the blood. Their signals of
e.strcs- ere easily recognized and in
clu,ie such symptoms rs backache, de-
pressions, drovsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizzinssS, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy, gout.
"The very best way to restore the
kidneys to thni- normal state Of health"
says DR.. Pierce, OF Buffalo, N. Y, 'is to
drink plenty Ct pure water and obtain
from your fa7orite pharmacy n small
amount of Anuric, which is dispensed by
almost every druggist" Anuric is mex
pensve and should be taken before meals.
You will find Anuric more potent than
lthia, dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

PICK FEATHERS FROM GEESE
Operation Should Not Be Performed
Until Warm Weather Sets In,
Usually About May 20.

Geese should not be picked until
warm weather sets in, usually about
the Goth of May. In handling geese
they should a'ways be grasped by the
neck, not by the feet and held with
the back toward the person in order
to prevent them from striking with
their wings.
Draw n stocking over the birds head
while picking. DO not remove the
feathers from the wings, shoulders aud
back as they are needed to protect
the bird from the sun and rain.
