spite Of the present high price OF
corn. Good seed corn costs the FAR
mer only the market price minus tho
cost Of marketing in the fall. but u
is worth the difference between

Seed corn should be selected IN the

prove Service in the
East Part Of
City

Good news for the people living in
the Chubb addition and the adjacent
territory is the announcement by
Manager Warner of the Gas company
that he has succeeded in securing the
approval by the company Of his plan
to provide more gas pressure in that
part of town. In fact the pipe has al
ready been bought. A connecting line
will be run from the main line at
Seventh between Cleveland and Cho-
teau avenues, east to Choteau street
thence south across the draw to Ninth
and Choteau, thence north to the
Chubb addition. At present the Chubb
addition is on what is called q dead
end and oftentimes it is impossible to
apply enough pressure to reach there
satisfactorily without giving too much
pressure elsewhere This will remedy
entirely the trouble there by afford
ing a circulation of gas and equalizing
the pressure. Mr.. Warner says work
will be started in q few days on the
connecting line. E. C. Burlingame,,
manager of the company, has been,
here for some days studying first hand.

result he expects soon to make several.
other improvements. He wants the
public to feel that his purpose is sim

vice. The outlay for improvements
have gone far beyond the receipts
during the past two years; but he has
confidence in the development Of the;
city and feels that eventually tie.

BIC MONEY
FOR FARMERS
Location of Dairy Products
Plant in Baxter Furnishes
Home Market for
Milk and Cream

The location of the dairy products
plant in Baxter by L. L. Cardin and
associates will mean a big thing for
the farmers of the Baxter district,
providing a market for milk and
cream. This fact is well demonstra-
ted at Fl. Scott, where during the
month of last November, there was
paid to the owners of six herds, to-
tai of 1OS cows, the sum of $1SSS.S5
for milk. The Chamber of Commerce
is putting forth every effort to assist
Mr.. Cardin in his enterprise.
Those who have not lived in COM
rnmity where there is dairy product
nIant, cannot quite measure up to the
value of the plant. There are two
chief things in connection with the
plant. The first is, it centralizes out
of-town business in Baxter by furnish
ing a home market for milk and cream
at q test price, which guarantees top
prices.
The second big factor in the estab-
lishment of the plant places the farm
er in position to get into the dairy
business and in doing this he is COM
PEELED to increase the efficiency Of his
stock to the higher grades Of cows
testing the most butter fat. This item
builds the farming community up in
stock and increases materially the
wealth Of the community.
And the fact that Baxter has fur
nished a home market to the farmer
for his milk and cream, encourages
him to do all his trading at home, and
that means an increased business for
all merchants.

schools Of Kansas that the teacher
gets his FIRST experience The county
superintendent, with 100 teachers un-
der her supervision, these teachers
scattered over an average county Of
Kansas, must travel something like
1000 miles TO visit each of these
teachers once during the school year.
Then again, the inexperienced teacher
who needs the help Of supervisor,
usually has to 60 to the farthest point
Of the county from the superintendent
and work out her own salvation, prac-
tically alone, and without help Of the

who could not visit each Of his rooms

reads:
"Dear Sister: Will write you few

health. I'm now in German country
and still everything looks good and
everybody seems to be fine and glad
to see us. I'm living in private home
and they treat me fine. / have bed
here and everything is comfortable,
SO you see, I'm right at home. There
are not many soldiers here and our
field equipment was lost and we are
not doing anything at present.
1--WE came through many ruined
towns and most of them were destroy
ed so you couldn't tell it was a town.
In one we came through / saw one
roof and the rest of them were gone.
Some of the walls were still up. We
went through the battle fields and
trenches and saw a few old guns, and
a few people in the ruined towns
Most of them are American soldiers
guarding. You can see soldiers any
where you go.
"The people here are very fine to US,
They are also glad the war is over,
but they are poor people now. The
towns and country are clean, even the
woods. They have fine forests here
and the stores are like in the states,
and they are clean. They clean up
every evening. l think We will get
along fine here.

leaves me in perfect health, and /
