Grand Rapids, Mich, Feb. 2.-The
government today charged Truman H
Newberry, Michigan. with buying a
United States senatorship in a barrel
campaign.
Special Attorney Frank c. Daley,
outlining his case at the opening of
court here today, asserted that thou
sands of dollars used in Newberry' S
campaign were not accounted for. He
accused Newberry of spending more
money than the law permits by using
indirect means of pushing his candi-
dacy.
Much of the Newberry money was
spent for banquets, flowers, entertain
ments, liquor and in many instances
to pay personal debts" Daley said.
when Lieutenant Governor Dick
inson exposed the barrel campaign
before the primary election. there was
quarters County cha8smen who had

No Help Here;

The Bates & Capps cafe for several
years one OF the city's favorite "popu-

ness February II because "help" can
not be obtained. The cafe today sold
its fixtures to Crane & Company, sta

of severe, weather to occur after the
first of February.
The tradition has come down to
Kansas citizens from states farther
east and north where winter hangs on
longer and spring is much slower in
coming. While there might be some
basis for the tradition in those places
it does not hold true in Kansas.
Many do not believe there is any
such thing as a grounding. But there
are groundhogs in Indiana. They are
something like prairie dogs Few per-
sons can be found who ever saw q
grounding in Kansas, however. 1t is
believed the state legislature of In
diana once passed a law making
Grondhog Day a legal holiday.
Still the children believe just az
firmly that they will see the ground
hog some time. They are just as sure
of it, as they are of some day seeing
Santa Claus, despite the fact that each
year they fail to really ever catch
either of them.

3 DAYS IN TOPEKA FEB. So

The greatest old fashioned clear

Friday and Saturday, February 6 and

merchandise at a greater reduction in
prices has never been known, it is said.
And those who have been looking
for a chance to save cannot afford to
miss these two big sale days. In or
der to get present stocks of merchan-

prices they will slash them to the

actual cost figures and reductions will
in many cases be as great as fifty per
cent of the original prices.
The stores are expecting such a big
rush for bargains from the country
and surrounding towns that those who
wish TO get an opportunity to select
from the stocks before they are de-
pleted are advised to shop as early as
possible on these two days.
Those who appreciate the fact that
money saved is money made will find
these two days presenting rare .oppor-
tunities to put this old adage into
practice.

Afraid of your shadow?
Sh! so am i;

AS the thing stands by;
But can't crawl into a hole,
Like you,
And hide the ugly thing
From view,
For it isn't the shadow
The sun has made,
That makes me wish
To seek the shade;
It's the shadow 1 make,
On the souls of men,
BY words L speak;
By lines pen;
BY gathering frown,
Or the smile j give;
It's the shadow 1 cast,

AVERAGE VALUE OF HEIFERS
Those Sired by Purebred Bull Worth
I Considerably More Than Those
:. y by Inferior. Sires.


y The heifers' sired by a purebred
dairy bull are worth considerably
more than those sired by grade or
scrub bull. Some definite figures on
this subject have been obtained by
the University of Illinois in dairy
survey made on SIT farms in 1912.
It was found that the. average cash
value of all the heifers sired by
purebred bull was SAL, while those
sired by grade bull was $32, and
those sired by a scrub bull only $50.
On the other hand, the average value
of the .purebred bulls used was $50
and the average value of the scrub
and grade bulls was S43.
The increased value Of only four
heifers sired by purebred bull paid

Quarters Good Index.

ss
As a large number of cows will be
bred during the winter months, many
farmers will be interested at this
time in the purchase OF herd sire.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a
sort of prejudice against the mature
bull. No sooner has he attained an
age sufficient to demonstrate his value
as sire, than he is handed over to
the butcher and his place is taken by
a young animal Of unknown quality.
There are several good reasons why
this practice should not be followed
In the first place the progeny is apt
to lack vigOr. Further frequent
changing of. sires is likely to produce
a lack of uniformity in type and dis
tinctive peculiarities that should char
aoterize the good dairy herd. Against
this. 1t Is sometimes urged that old
bulls become vicious and hard to
handle, Doubtless, there are occasional
grounds, for. this objection. In most
eases, however. this might be over
