CUT YOUR SHOE BILLS

Heretofore. soles never lasted me more than three months, because my work keeps me walking constantly on cement But have worn'a pair of Ne0lin Soles now for more than three months, and judging from their present condition, they will last three times as long," So says c. L. Kerr. manager of an automobile organization in Geneva, N. Y.
 This extra wear given by Ne0lin Soles not only makes the shoes soled with them cheaper by the year than other shoes, but the price you pay in the first place is sometimes less than for shoes of only ordinary wear.
 You can get Neolin-solcd shoes in many styles for every member of the family. Try these long-wearing. com fortable and waterproof soles on your worn shoes too. All good repair shops have them. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber O., of Akron. Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels. guaranteed to outwear all other heels.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 22.-The flu
neral of Frank B. Varnum, 81, at VIM
land, Douglas county, following his
death on February 5, at Lancaster,
Cal, marked the passing of one of the
few remaining men who took an ac-
tive part along with John Brown in
making Kansas history in the days of
the border warfare prior to the Civil
war. Varnum at the time of his death
was one of three survivors of the IA
nous Black Jack battle in which a
detachment of Kansas pioneers under
the leadership of John Brown. sur
rounded a corps of border raiders I'M
der the leadership of Clay Pate, and
took the entire number-about 800
prisoners.
Aft:s: joining the Coal Creek guards
in 1915. Varnuna fought at Franklin,
Fort Titus and Hickory Point as well
as at Black Jack, and when the Civil
war broke out he joined Company B
of the Ninth Kansas volunteers, and
served turnout the war until he was
discharged November 10, 1864. From
that year until 1906 he lived on a farm
he homesteaded, and since then had
made his home part of the time in Cali
fornia and part of it on his farm near
Vinland. The two remaining survivors
of the Black Jack battle are both resi-
dents of the Vinland district, George
Poe and William Barnes.

SELF FEEDING PAYING
There Is Quite q Difference From the
Hand Feeding Method

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. ga diff
ference of s7.35 a head in favor of
self feeding in handling hogs over
hand feeding methods was shown by
100 day experiment, conducted at the
Kansas State Agricultural college by
DIR. c. w. McCampbell. head of the
animal husbandry department. A
profit of S7.15 head was made thru
self feeding while hand feeding re-
suited in loss of 20 cents head.
The hogs used in this test cost SIS
each, delivered at the feed lot-ap-
proximately $19 per hundredweight.
Every item of expense was charged
against these hogs in figuring profit
or loss. The 10 pigs used in each lot
were uniform in type and quality.
Profit or loss was based upon prices
paid by the local buyer.
A comparison of two lots reveals the
tremendous influence of method of
feeding upon ultimate profits. The
hogs in these two lots received exactly
the same kinds of feeds but the hogs
in lot 1 could help themselves to either
corn or tankage as they saw fit, while
the hogs in lot were fed, twice a day,
a combination of corn 10 parts and
tankage 1 part. The hogs in lot 1
made gain of 1.S3 pounds daily and
a profit of s7.15 a head. The hogs in
lot made gain of 1.25 pounds daily
and a loss of 20 cents a head.

ON MONDAY NIGHT
IchabOdS and Ottawa to Fight it
Out for Third Place.
1t VIII Be Replica of the War
Youngsters VS.. Veterans.

The Washburn and Ottawa basket
ball quintets will fight it out for third
place in the Kansas conference race
on Washburn court Monday night. The
game is to start promptly at 7:45
o'clock.
The seasons record of the two teams
puts them on practically an equal
footing SO far as dope is concerned.
Washburn has lost to Baker twice and
to Hays normal. Ottawa has lost to
Baker twice, to Kansas State normal
and to Southwestern.
The only other dope which may
have a bearing on the outcome of the
game is that the Ottawa team is made
up practically in whole of veterans
from last year-and last year the Of
tawa men were state champs. But
Washburn has bunch of husky
youngsters. mostly freshmen and
sophomores who have about the same
conception of the idea of giving up be-
fore the last whistle as did the raw
Americans when they faced the vet

TO BUY NEW STEEL TIE
Santa Fc Still Figuring With Road
bed Experiment.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway, according to reports. is nego-
tiating with Amos Mitchell, Kirksville.
Mo-, for the patent rights on a steel
tie invented by the Missourian. The
Mitchell tie is a hollow pressed affair
weighing about 125 pounds and can be
manufactured at the present price of
steel for about sS.15 each. The cost
of the average wood tie before treat
ment is S1.25.
The Santa Fe. for several years, has
been conducting a series of expert
ments with steel ties, but-the most of
those placed in service were unsatis-
factory, officials say. This was most
ly because of weather conditions and
the effect of steel upon steel-the rail
cutting the tie.
The Mitchell tie, however, is said
to be a great Improvement over former
attempts of its kind. and there is little
doubt that if it is found satisfactory
the Santa Fe will begin looking to the
substitution of, it for the wood ties
now in use on main lines.
