The first instinct Of a woman Is to make
herself a necessity to someone.
That Is really why the little girl is more
helpful than tho little boy In the little
girls heart Is the strong desire to be
needed. 1t Is. I suppose. the mother IN
stinct Unfortunately. in many homes ii
Is not recognized in childhood, and there
fore il Is checked and it is not trained
See what happens:
LOVE UNRECOGNIZID
The desire to fiji a place may die if il
is not cultivated. If the child lives in a
home where her services are not needed
she will first feel chilled and then she will
grow selfish Instead Of growing out. she
will grow in. and everyone knows how
cramped must be the growth in that di-
rection.
There Is nothing sadder on earth than
child's first beautiful desire TO help being
turned back upon itself
Every day this is happening.
Every day, when in our irnpatlence, we
take the button-hook ont Of the baby
hands; any day you let the child know
she is getting in your way; any day YOU
let her feel that you can do quite well
without her help-that day something

She feels the call of something less than
herself, as she felt the answer to it in her
soul long ago. Can you blame her that

lines tighter on the newspaper men
of Kansas. Many OF them have no

Of instruction is projected.
One soldier voted for Carrie Ma
ton in the primary. The soldier
vote has kept the result of the pri-
mary being definitely known for
near two weeks after the votes were
cast. That has led a state officer TO
suggest that the law be so amended
that the soldier could mail his vote
to the county clerk so that II would
reach home not later than the day
OF the election and that it be counted
IN with the balance OF the ballots.
That system would enable the soldier

delay.
The primary returns distinctly
show that the man who can be at the
front and isn't has hard time at the
polls In two instances women beat
men out who were running for the

generally conceded In Kansas, no

John Bull and Uncle Sam.

John Bull had once a little boy,
Who ran away from home;
The hardy fellow, full of joy,
Loved in the West to roam;
He had the daring of his sire,
And tho'he passed thro' storms of fire,
He aye the stronger grew;
Fighting little Sam,
Plucky little Sam,
A world to be, for mankind free!
Saw pushing little Sam.
John Bull once tried to stophis growth,
But Sam hit out at once;
So poor old John for peace was loath,
And ceased the youth to bounce.
To mankood's lusty force and vim
He grew at Freedoms call
And millions went to worship him,
So he made room for all;
Mighty Uncle Sam,
Glorious Uncle Sam,
From sea to sea, great, brave and free!
Spread dauntless Uncle Sam.
John Bull, with proud and loving heart,
This message to him sends;
Dear Sam Of me you are part.
We must-we shall be friendst
United we'1 dare wars alarms.
Shake hands, my boy-my Sam
Hurrah! come all the world in arms,

The Union Jack of John!
The Stars and Stripes of Sam
Shall rulers be, on land and sea!
Three cheers for John and Sam.

Because many of the earliest sown
fields produced this year more and
better wheat than later sowings did
does not prove that the crop should
be put IN so early this fall It Is bet
ter TO follow the experience Of five
years or more in this as IN other
farm work
September Is to October Is has
been the best period for sowing wheat
at the Fort Hays Experiment Station
in experiments carried on during the
past FIVE years The average yield
from sowing September Is, October
1 and October Is, are practically
equal, and are ten TO twenty per cent
higher than from sowing the first
week in September or the first week
IN November.
Wheat sown n early September
suffers Oftener from grasshoppers.
Hessian fly and drouth, than does
later sowing Early sown wheat IN
der favorable conditions somestimes
becomes too rank IN the fall, and uses
so much soil moisture that winter
killing occurs IN February and March.
Early wheat also suffers when there
Is Just enough moisture 70 sprout Il
and not enough to support further
growth
Sowing early to get more pasture
IS often practced- September Is Is
usually as good as earlier dates for
this purpose, besides being safer for
grain production

Sorghum Day at HAYS

Thursday afternoon, September 3,
viii be Sorghum Day at the Fort
Hays Experiment Station, for farm
cEs and teachers. Free samples of
sorghum heads may then be obtained
by teachers for school use.
Kafir, feterita, milo and the sweet
sorghums, forty-tlree varities in all,
have been tested side by side this
year. Besides these tests, the station
IS growing more than 500 acres of
the leading sorghums commercially
On Sorghum Day the important diff
erence in these varities may be seen
and explained. 1t is planned that H.
\. Vinall, sorghum specialist of the
u S. Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., will be present.
1t Is important TO study the sor-
ghum crops and grow more of them
because in dry years, sorghums are
much more profitable than corn in
western Kansas. Kafir has averaged
Is bushels of grain per acre at Hays
as compared with only 6 bushels of
corn during the past seven years.
The best kafir and sweet sorghum
varities yield 6 to 9 tons of silage
per acre as compared with an average
OF but tons for corn at Hays

these people have the advantage in
that Julius Caesar showed them how
it should be done a couple of thous-

quite hilly-very large ones in places
with large, deep fertile valleys so
very few of the roads are straight
but rather wind around the hills and
along streams from one town to an
other. And such an abundance of
towns. You come to one (some larg-

The wailing winds went twanging by

A Metropolitan was he-a true Amer

Yet in few short months he'd prov

He crossed the broad Atlantic like a
hero in the strife,
The war was Everybody's now -
what was his single Life?
He hadn't sought Adventure in his
somewhat feeble youth
A Woman's Home Companion was
about his job, in truth:
But he read some Snappy Stories in
the Belgian Blue Book, then
He went across the wide Wide World
to help his fellowmen.
To found a new Republic in that worn
and weary land,
He'd given up the Smart Set and had
sought a foreign Strand,
And now, as he was standing, think
ing thought of Farm and Home,
His Magazine exploded and blew off
his marble dome!
