WEATHER MADE TO ORDER
Last Week Couldn't Have Boon
More Favorable, S. d. Flora Re
ports Today.
tBy s. d. Flora. U. s. Meteorological,

The weather of the week just closed
could hardly have been more favor
able for Kansas, had it been made to
order. Temperatures were below nor
NAL continually and higher than they
have averaged for months time.
Not a drop of rain was reported in the
state, which was ideal for maturing
corn and feed crops and dried out the
ground in fine shape for seeding and
other fall work.
The chances for the bulk of the corn
crop escaping frost damage have i'm
proved greatly in the last few days
Cutting corn is under way at present
IN all sections, except a few in the
northeastern and north-central coun-
ties. From so to 80 per cent of the
amount of corn that is ordinarily cut
is already in the shock in the south ;
central counties and 10 to rs per cent
of it is cut over the rest of the south
ern half of the state and III the north
western counties. Silo filling is pro-
crossing fully well as corn cutting
and is almost done in several south
central counties and beginning in the
extreme northeastern.
Late kafir and other late planted
varieties of the grain sorghums are
liable to be caught by frost, tho the
past week has done a great deal to-
wards maturing them. From 10 to 25
per cent of the earlier planted sor-
ghums has been cut in counties which
are important growers of thisScrop
but to weeks will generally be re-
quired to mature the bulk of the crop
in the western counties.
The soil is in ideal condition for fall
seeding, probably never better at this
time of the year. From rs to SO per
cent of wheat is already isown in the
northwest part of the state and 10 to
rs per cent of it is in the ground in
the southwestern, and central counties.
but only an occasional field has been
seeded in the eastern third. Drilled
wheat is coming up in fine shape in
the western half of the state.
The wet weather of preceding weeks
has damaged unthreshed wheat from
10 to rs per cent in the western half
of the state, and caused considerable
damage to the small amount of wheat
not yet threshed in the eastern third.
Picking Grimes Golden and Wine
sap apples is well under way in the
Arkansas Valley. and Jonathans are
being picked generally in the Kaw
Valley and the northeast counties.
Broom corn harvest will soon be
completed in Stevens county.

CHANGES IN The BALLOT
Attorney General Seeks to Shift Names
for General Election.

Several important changes in the
present form of printing the general
election ballot will be made in Kan
saS if the supreme court grants a writ.
of manadmus sought by the attorney
generals office against L. ]. Pettijohn,
secretary of state. The application for
a writ concerns the present plan of
arranging names of electors and con-
gressionaI candidates.
The most important change sought
is the placing of names of congress
sional candidates just below candidates
for United States senator. This brings
congressional candidates nearer the
top of the ballot and insures for them
a much heavier vote.
The supreme court is also asked
to order the placing of BLANC lines be-
low names of the ten regular nomi-
ness as presidential electors. Thus q
voter may express a preference for a
person not regularly nominated in the
parimaries. The writ will direct the
secretary of state as to the manner of
preparing the general Lotion ballot.
The case will be pesented to the court
Friday morning at 10 o'clock.

Had to Buy Pupils.

Twenty years ago beside the swift
yellow waters Of the Yangtse was
started foreign school. The site
chosen, pleasant hilltop, live very de-
sirable spot in China, was covered with
the grave mounds of long centuries.
And, indeed, it was at no small trou-
BILE and risk that the foreign devils"
first cleared this ground, reburying
the countless bones and making finan-
cial settlement with squabbling des-
cendants. For not only those had to
be appeased who in true Chinese ia
shion, living only that they might pay
homage to their dead ancestors, the
sooner to become ancestors them
selves, felt horror at disturbing this
repose on the hillsides, but those who,
seeming strings of "cash," suddenly
discovered family ties among neglect
ed skulls and with righteous fervor
claimed their own.
The ground finally prepared, build
ings were built and staff OF teachers
collected Every thing was in readi-
ness. Everything except one rather
important factor-the pupils. Now,
this school was new venture, being
not only foreign school, an institu-
ton regarded more with animosity
than favor, but also-unheard of inpu-
dence!-a school for girls. The weeks
heightened into months and no girl
students appeared. 1t became evident
that the carefully prepared banquet
was to have no guests. Why educate
a girl, parents exclaimed, when she's
good only to be married into another
family? The situation required re-
sourceful methods, and those adopted
surely are unique in the annals Of edu-
cation.
The American head teacher procured
his beginning class of five by going
out to the nearest slave market and
buying them, five slave girls. This
was 20 years ago.
