Clinton followed the girl to his door and watched her sprightly departure down the corridor. When she disap- peared in the elevator he stepped back and nodded to the attendant.
 "Tell Doctor Kirkland I do not wish 10 see him today. Oblige me by clos ing the door and keeping 1t closed"
 "AS you wish, sir"
 The door closed noiselessly. Clin- ton went to the window. stepped up on the hot-water radiator window seat lowered the upper sash fev inches. and felt for loose screw in the upper left-hand corner of tho screen. All the screws were immovable. He reached over to the other side One of the screws in that corner turned under the twist of his finger tip. and the screen swung outward.
 He drew 1t shut. pushed up the win dow. and stepped down to examine the window-seat radiator. There was nothing about 1t to which line could be fastened. He stepped up again and looked at the window cord. Taken together, the cords of both sashes might be strong enough to bear his weight. From the window he went to the bed The sheets and coverlet. though light, were of fine, strong ma terial
 Having made these investigations he settled down beside the pile of magazines and began to read. He was not interrupted until close upon the fashionable hour for dining, when an attendant opened. the door and an- nounced that dinner would be served to him in his room.
 A small table was presently brought In, and the meal served as neatly as In first-class restaurant. The cooking was excellent though noticeable for dishes and of all stimulating drinks Neither wine nor coffee nor even tee was served. Clinton drank his creamy milk without complaint, and compli- mented the cook and the pretty wait ress.

 Within minute after he had turned out his light, the door opened and an attendant stepped in, with an apolo- getic; Beg pardon, sir; but your clothes"
 What about my clothes?" demand ed Clinton.
 There was no reply. Clinton sat up in bed and saw by the moonlight which streamed in through the win dow that the man was deftly empty ing the pockets of his trousers. "Here-enough of that p he ordered Keep your hands out of my pockets. " But l cannot take out your clothes without emptying them, sir" replied | the man.

Some Colors Once Barred
New York Evening SUM

(NeW YORK Evening SUM
Good taste in colors is not univer-
sally accepted as a fixed code. Much
depends upon the effect intended.
The slogan tell it in flowers" is not
confined to funerals. Jazz has it's
place as well as the dirge.
Colors that screamed at our grand
mothers attract little attention on the
streets today-and some of that is ia
vorable. Among women color schemes
in clothing are items of unflagging
interest in small talk and among art
lists of the brush and canvass such
differences of opinion result in the
formation of definite schools.
In the older and more conservative
days there used to be a rhyme:
Red and yellow,
Catch a fellow.
And no proper girl would wear such
a combination.
One who remembered the old ad-
monition was doubtful the other day
about particularly attractive dress
combination in these colors and was
asking advice.
Nonsense" said her friend, "it is
perfectly all right Those are the
colors of the Spanish flag"
Yes, I know" was the old-fash-
Toned reply. but in 1898 my brothers

ance to the annual state convention

all the corn possible. Wheat has
more corn coming in now than is usual
at this season. They are paying $3.50
for corn in wagon load lots, and would
pay more for round lots for prompt
loading. AS to oats, he said a lot of
belated fields were sown on Saturday,
but that he considered it too late to
be sure of a good crop. He says, too,
that the wheat south of Camden
looks better than the fields farther
north. The Camden district is noted
for soy bean culture, nearly every
farmer sowing some beans, notably
for silage and hogging down. Seed is
selling at from Sc to $40, early varie-
ties at best prices.
In a recent speech at Liberty Pro-
fxsor Christie said: II am in favor
of the closest cooperation of the
farmer, the merchant and the banker
in our rural towns. You should believe
in your banker, your elevator man, and
your business men, and should mingle
in friendly way with the towns
people, the town being the social and
educational center Of your community.
The farmer can not live without the
town, nor can the town prosper with
out the farmer. Were Liberty to be
burned tonight you would all take a
hand in its rebuilding tomorrow"
The average of the five-acre corn
contest crops in Union county last
year was IS bushel to the acre; aver
age cost per acre $34.57, or Al cents
per bushel. The contestants not only
took pride in their five-acre plots but
also in their entire corn acreage and
outnnt which waS relatively high.

Livestock Is Counted Once
At Each Point; Duplicated

Let US suppose that 10000 hogs are

that shippers buy 1900 head These
4;90o will later show up, say at Chi
cago or Omaha, and be counted there.
A part of these Will be bought by
feeders and sent to the farms, to be
counted again when marketed
In the meanwhile Chicago shippers
will send 10000 hogs to various east
ern markets, say Louisville, Cincin-
natl and Indianapolis, today, to be re,
counted in their receipts again tomor-
row.
A part of these hogs will reach
Pittsburgh and Buffalo in due course,
to figure in the receipts at these
points, by which time some of them
have been counted five times. This
is going on all the time and applies
to cattle as we'll as to hogs.

I'VE are to take over the Lynn City
Mill about May Is, capacity 70 barrels
daily" said Earl Adamson, Saturday,
"and the style Of our firm will then
be Lynn Mill and Elevator company"
Adamson stated that many farmers
sowed oats early, and that these were
promising. Several farmers were not
so lucky, however, and many of these
were in their fields Saturday, though
it was doubtful how such late plant
ing would turn out. It is thought that
an average acreage will be grown this
year, and that some corn will be plant
ed where wheat has been abandoned,
and where too late to SOW oats. Oats
are bringing 81 and corn $3.50 per
bushel at the Lynn elevator. Some
farmers are buying a few feeder hogs
from neighbors, but there is no tenden-
cy to go to market and buy on a
large scale. At present cost of feed
stuffs there is no money in 15 cent
