in Kansas, not only as hay and
forage plant but also as producing
large amounts of first quality seed. As
indicating its increasing popularity in
Kansas it is this year noted that the
acreage has tripled over that planted
a year ago. This year farmers planted
1856 acres compared with 26,731 in
1917 and 1886 acres in 1916-the
first year in which statistics on the
crop were secured by the Kansas board
of agriculture.

One Little Ray of Sunshine in Life OF
a Saddened Father.

a Saddcned Father.
A ten-months' old baby that was
taken from a Rock Island train in To-
peka, October 10, because it was near
death from pneumonia, has recovered,
and will be taken to its home in Lum-
Der City, Ca, in few days.
The father of the child, Marvin
Thigpen, passed thru Topeka about
two weeks ago, taking his two little
children from Colorado Springs to
their home, and in the baggage coach
of the same train, was the dead moth
er of the babies. The children became
ill with pneumonia along the route,
and the doctors called at various
stopping places had been able to do
nothinefor the little ones. In Topeka,
DIR. A. H. Marshall, who is the Rock
Island company's physician here, was
asked to meet the train as soon@as it
stopped in Topeka, to see what could
be done for the children. As the stay
of the train in Topeka was short. and
the father could not leave the train
that was carrying his wife's body
home, the doctor took the younger
child off the train and treated him at
Stormont hospital. A special nurse
went on duty with the case and worked
constantly till the baby was out of
danger.
Word of the ch:ld's condition was
wired to the father, who sent word
that he would come for the baby to-
day. The other child, he said, had re-
