clearer see the approach of the hour
so that they may pass Sunday at home.

Nearly every fellow is in hopes that
some day he will be able 70 quit the

and if it is easy he wants a position
that isn't so combining. If he has a
job where he works in an Office part
Of the time and on the street part of
the time he wants to get into some
thing where he won't always have to
be running in and out.

like place where he wouldn't have to
work regular hours, and the man
whose time belongs to himself thinks
he would like to be a clerk. when
you are through with the days work, y

Husband thinks that doing the house.
work and talking to the neighbor is a

Prisoners Of. Parliament.

Few people are aware that the
houses of parliament have their own
prison.. Yet situated high up in the
clock tower is the NJ P.'s prison, con-
sisting Of four bedrooms and two SIT
ting rooms.
The honorable member who has been
Fdishonored by Imprisonment for a
breach Of parliamentary etiquette does
not have very hard life in St.
Stephens prison. The prisoners meals
are sent up to him from the house Of
commons kitchens, and he can choose
whatever dishes he likes from the or
binary menu. Unlike an ordinary pris-
oner, he receives the bill for his meals
from the catering authorities.
Perhaps the best remembered occu-
pant Of parliament's prison was Mr..
Bradlaugh, who was sentenced by the
speaker to Imprisonment in the clock
tower for refusing to withdraw when
requested so to do.

How q Beaver canWork.

A young beaver in Regents park
gardens, London, was once placed at
work upon a tree twelve feet long and
two feet six inches thick just as the
town clocks sounded the hour Of noon.
The beaver began by barking the tree
a foot above the ground. That done,
he attacked the wood. He worked
hard, alternating his labor with dips
in his bathing pond. He bathed and
labored alternately until 4 O'Clock In
the afternoon, when he ate his supper
Of bread and carrots and 'paddled about
in his pond until half past 5 o'clock.
Ten minutes later, when only one inch
of the trees diameter remained intact,
he bore upon his work, and the tree
fell. Before it fell the beaver ran as
men run when they have fired blast:
Then as the tree lay on the ground, he
portioned it out mentally and again be-
gan to gnaw. He worked at intervals
all night, cut the log into three parts,
rolled two of the portions into the wa
ter and reserved the other third for bis
permanent shelter. The work done, he
took bath.

WHEAT LOOKING BETTER
NOrcatur Report Says Crop Will Make
a Very Good Yield.

Norcatur, Kan, April 23.-The first
rain of any value to fall in this part
of the state came Thursday, following
a period of very windy weather. The
rain fell all day, and wei into the
night, which turned into sleet and
snow. along with the rain. No rain or
moisture of consequence had fallen
since last October, and no thoroly
soaking rain since last June. Wheat
which had been thought winter killed
and dried out in many field, made a
pleasing show the last ten days in
spite of the weather, and long, hard,
dry and cold winter.
1t is estimated that from 40 to so
per cent of the fall wheat will be in
good shape for a harvest with favor
able weather from now on, and that
many fields thought two-thirds dead
will now revive and make considera BILE
wheat. A number of farmers estimate
their present stand as good as in the
spring of 1916, but a little more back
ward, because of the late start last
fall. Many farmers are holding back
a reserve supply OF wheat for seeding
purposes. and a number are holding
for higher prices, tho it is bringing
$3.50 per bushel.
Spring sown grain is doing well,
and there is practically no spring
wheat sown in the country. Most of
the back yards and vacant lots in Nor
catur are being planted to potatoes,
and everyone is trying to lower the
high cost of living.

WATCH POTATO BEETLE
Garden Raisers Advised to Begin
Fight on Pest at Once.

Manhattan, April 23.-With the ex-
igencies of the war situation demand
ing that the potato crop be as large as
possible, a warning to combat the
striped Colorado potato beetle has
been issued by George A. Dean, pro-
fessor of entomology in the Kansas
State Agricultural college here. He
advises the growers to meet the attack
of the pest as soon as the young po-
tato plants push thru the ground.
One of the most effective remedies
for the pest of Paris green, accord
ing to Mr.. Dean. For small patches
it may be used dry by mixing it with
so times its weight in flour, slaked
lime or 1and-plaster. This mixture
should be applied in the morning
when the dew still is on the plants
either by a perforated can or a powder
gun.
"On large fields it is best to apply
the mixture in the form of a spray"
the professor explained. Zone pound
Paris green and one pound of
freshly slaked lime will kill the larvae
but it is necessary to use two or three
pounds of Paris green to kill the
beetles.
MANY growers prefer to use three
to five pounds of lead arsenate to a
barrel of water because it is more ad-
heSlVe than the mixture of Paris green
and there is no danger of burning.
Powdered lead of arsenate NAV also
be used as a dust spray just as soon
as the insects are found working on
the plants, and the application re-
peated when the other generation of
insects appears >"

TRANSFER CARS HERE
Yard Congestion in East Brings Santa
Fe Work to Topeka

Owing to congestion in Kansas City
and other eastern terminal freight
yards, about tWenty-eight cars of
freight, routed over the Santa Fe from
eastern points TO western cities and
towns. are being redistributed in the
Topeka yards of the Santa Fe daily
Considerable trouble, it is said, is be-
ing experienced by the road in obtain
ing enough men to do the work.
Transfer of the freight here brings
to light the fact that the car shortage,
due to congestion, is becoming worse
again in Kansas. The Chicago yards
of the Santa Fe are filled to capacity
with freight cars and they are send
ing hundreds of cars to Kansas City
for redistribution. Kansas City in
turn, is passing the buck to Topeka.
Because of this congestion Kansas
shippers, particularly the wholesalers
and jobbers and retail men, are feeling
the effects of the condition. The ma
jority of freight shipped from points
between the Atlantic coast and Chi
cago is delayed anywhere from three
days to three weeks before arriving at
destination. In the last two or three
months shippers have been forced to
wait as long as thirty days in many
instances for goods shipped from east
ern points.

GOOD MONEY IN BEES
They Are More Profitable Than
Chickens. X. U. Professor Says.

Lawrence, Kan. April 23.-"Keep
a bee.' is a fraction of a suggestion
given by S. J. Hunter, state entomolo-
giSt and head of the entomology de-
partment in the University of Kansas.
The remainder of that suggestion is to
keep a whole hive of bees if you have
as much as a small back yard in a
home district in a Kansas city or
town.
Bees are more profitable than chick
ems said Mr.. Hunter. Buy a hive or
two of three banded Italian bees and
put them in your back yard. You'll
have to give them a little attention
only three times a year, in the spring,
summer and in autumn. They'll feed
themselves all the time and take care
of them selves the rest of the time
and should produce at least fifty
pounds of honey yearly for each hive.
Chickens require much space, quanti-
ties of feed and constant attention.
From a dollar and cents standpoint,
the bees beat the hen. Most every
home in Kansas ought to have a stand
or two of bees. They won't hurt the
children if the children don't hurt
them. But don't get these short-tem-
pered native bees. The university de-
partment of entomology will be glad
to furnish bee bulletins to residents of
Kansas who apply"

TO TRY OUT NEW PLAN
Usage School Superintendent Has a
New Welfare Scheme.

Lyndon. Kan, April 23.-Superin-
tendent c. A. Deardorff is trying out a
new scheme of welfare work in con-
nection with the graduation of the
country school pupils. Mr.. Dear
dorff's plan contemplates the calling
of community rally in connection
with the graduating exercises of the
pupils But instead of holding this
meeting at one central place as the
custom over the state has been, he will
repeat his program at each of eleven
places turnout the county. For this
purpose, he has arranged to have VIM.
A. Mckeever of the University of KAN
sas as the commencement speaker
while he himself and other local talent
will assist. In addition to the COM
mencement address in each place,
there will be a child welfare confer
ence and an organization of the local
workers, VINO will rake over some new
constructive effort for the future.
1t is Superintendent Deardorff's
idea that the county is not united on
anything excepting the usual school
course of study. Now he wishes to
bring all the leading forces together
on countrywide plan which will sup
plement the work thus far done. and
unite the school, the home and the
