Careless about these Creatures. who

We should keep our Lamps Lit
and our Audiphones Listening all
the Time for these vipers, and
Round Up every one of them for a
sojourn behind the Barrieade; and
ever that is much too Good for
them.
A S~lackerless Land, this ought to
be, too. If it's a Good Place to
Live, it's a Swell Proposition to
Fight For, according to my Small
Time Philosophy.
And if there is Anybody who
can't See the Scrap End of the
game, let him Take 1t on the Run
for some place else.
If we're B~oozeless and Spyless

Bill, it won't be long before
Germany is Kaiserless, and when
that time comes around, and every
body Puts Out the Glad Hand to
everybody else, the World will be
Warless, and a Right Decent Planet
to Live On. (34)

Scientific Facts.

To enable photographers to
make portraits with artistic
backgrounds translucent shades
to be hung over windows have
been patented bearing pictures
of window castings and land
scapes.
That different classes of mar
kind can be distinguished by
their hair is the theory of a
French scientist who believes
there is some relation between
the hair and strength of body
and mind.
A form of detectaphone small
enough to be worn under a mans

A Valuable Rooster.

According to the London Times, a
cockerel owned by F. C. Tyson, which
has been sold 6,670 times and has
raised 1886 for the Red Cross and

RAISE MORE CATTLE
That Was Pledge of kansans at Fort
Hays Roundup.

HAYS, Kan. April 11.-Western
Kansas will raise more livestock.
That was the message which the
farmers of western Kansas brought to
the annual roundup of the Fort Hays
experiment station. At the round-ups
of previous years professors from the
Agricultural college had preached
more cattle and sheep. The meeting
this wear was different.
Farmers from twenty-three western
Kansas counties were present Super
intendent Weeks fed 1.49S persons by
actual count, at the station at noon.
He said that there were over 1000
from outside Ellis county here. 1t
was the biggest roundup by 100 per
cent.
The morning was spent in tours of
the station. The afternoon meeting
was in Sheridan coliseum of the Fort
Hays normal. The speakers included

HITS KANSAS ROADS
Rates on Cement Shipments Are Low
cred by the I. c. c.

Washington, April 1.-THE inter-
state commerce commission today or
dered lower rates on shipments of ce-
ment in carload lots between points
in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa. Missouri
Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska. Wis
consin, South Dakota, Oklahoma and
the Michigan peninsula. Present rates
are to be withdrawn and new ones
SUBSTITUTED on or before July s.
A combination of rates at present
are in effect between Kansas cement
producing points and the Michigan
peninsula. The rate from the produc-
ing points to the Mississippi river is
10 cents a hundred, and from the
Mississippi river to Detroit, 11.6 cents.
From the river to Alma, Mich, the
rate is 12.1 cents a hundred
The new order affects practically all
Kansas roads, and will probably mean
a reduction of thousands of dollars
annually in revenues.
