Noted Republican Leader Succumbs
After Long illness in . Hos
pitai at St Joseph, Mo.

Cyrus Leland, Jr, of Troy, for
fifty years a prominent figure in Re
publican politics in Kansas, died at
Moves hospital in ST. Joseph. recently.
He was &c years old. He was brought
to St. Joseph last May and underwent
an operation.
Mr.. Leland was born in Sank coun-
ty, Wisconsin, in 1S41, and when IT
years of age removed to Kansas with
his father He served with the Union
forces throughout the Civil war. At
ter the war. in which he won a cap
tain's commission, he returned to Kan
sas and began his career in politics
there He was long the head of the
Republican party organization in this
state.
He made an unmade more men, po-
litically, in Kansas than any other half
dozen men, For many years he was
called King Cyrus" on account of his
tremendous political influence in the
state and at Washington. His remi-
niscences of Kansas politics and poll
ticians would fill a big book
Almost since the days when the first
pages of Kansas history were written
Leland was a part of the history maxi
ing in the state. Before he came home
from serving in the Civil war, he was
elected to a seat in the legislature.
This was the election of 1854, the sec
ond election following Statehood.
A great book could be filled with in
stances of Mr.. Lelands kindness and
help to the poor and needy of Doni-
phan county. No worthy man or wo-
man ever appealed to him for help in
vain.
For more than forty years the Le-
land general merchandise store in
Troy was the headquarters for all who
suffered from sickness, crop failures
or other misfortunes.
The old account books of the store
running back fifty years tell an elo-
quent story, as do the hundreds of I'M
paid notes given, some of them forty
years ago, for the necessaries of life
by the needy farmers of Doniphan
county. Dozens of the fine farms in
that community were saved to their
owners from the mortgage sharks
through the kindly help of Mr.. Leland

Russia's big port on the Gulf of Riga

its garrison and the civilian popula-

the disaffection and the inability to

TO BOOST DAIRY BUSINESS
One Hundred HoIstein Heifers Added
to Leavenworth County Herds
at Big Picnic.

One hundred 2-year-old Holstein heif-
ers, sold by lot to farmers in Leaven-
worth county, Kansas, were the cen
trail figures in the ''get acquainted
picnic at Leavenworth.
But they were by no means the only
feature. Two thousand members of
the County Farm Bureau Association,
Federated Canning Clubs of Leaven-
worth county, Leavenworth CONNER
cial Club, and farmers, their wives
and children, made up the crowd. Ad-
dresses on farm topics, dairy and poul-
try exhibits and horse races between
local entries provided the afternoons
entertainment which followed the bas-
ket dinner in Leavenworth's Associa-
ton, Park.
Although the picnic was first
planned as an outing for members of
the county canning clubs-which have
Increased in number from three to six
teen in a year-the meeting became
broader in scope when the farm bu-
reau and the Commercial Club were
given permission to take part Then
the plan for the distribution of dairy
cattle at this time was made.
OF course there was one man behind
the idea. The story of this unusual
dairy beginning in Leavenworth coun-
ty is the story of plans fostered for
several months by Otto H. Wulfekuh-
Ter, president of the Wulfekuhler
State Bank of Leavenworth-a man
known throughout Kansas as the "fa-
ther'' of the Kansas Farmer Dairy
Club, which has grown from small
beginning made by Mr.. Wulfekuhler in
Leavenworth county in May. 1916, to
a statewide organization.
