There is 4 feeling current that foreign fl

TURN DOWN ASH CAN IDEA
Members of Topeka Merchants As
sociation Don't Like Plan.

Members of the Topeka Merchants
association board of directors today
frowned upon the proposal of a
manufacturer to place trash cans on
the streets of the city. Their dis
pleasure was gained by the fact that
these cans were to be donated free to
the city, but the merchants would
have to maintain them.
A. z. Josephson. Of Baton Rouge.
La. is the promoter of the plan. His
idea is to solicit advertising for the
sides of the cans. which resemble. in
some measure, a crude talking ma
chine. The merchants claim that to
approve this scheme would be liter
ally enfranchising the placing of bill
boards on the principal business
streets. The city ordinance prohibits
their erection on Kansas avenue. The
side streets would be available.
A resolution adopted was to the ef-
feet that there is no crying need for
such a utility and that it would be
unfair to ask the merchants to pay
for them. at any rate.

REFUSES TO GRANT DIVORCE
Badly Shattered Romance Aired in
District Court.

A badly shattered romance was
tossed about in a rude manner in the
first division of the Shawnee county
district court Monday afternoon dur
ing the trial of the divorce case
brought by Mrs. Pauline Adams
against Ellsworth Adams, but Judge
James A. Mcclure prevented its final
dash upon the rocks when he refuse j
to grant the plaintiff a decree.
Mrs. Adams wanted a divorce on
the alleged ground of extreme cruelty.
She testified that her husband had
struck her with lead pencil on one
occasion, that he stayed out nights
and gambled, and my, oh. my, he had
actually called her "a darn little
fool" when she insisted on wearing
slippers one cold night in February.
The defendant took the stand and
admitted that he stuck his wife with
lead pencil but claimed it was an
accident and all her fault. He said
that during a quarrel she had slapped
him and when he raised his hand to
ward off another blow she struck the
point of a pencil he was holding. AS
for gambling, he admitted that he lost
$25 in a pool game once, but declared
that loss caused him to swear off and
that he had not gambIed since. He
evidently had forgotten the $50 he
won in a crap game during the re-
union of the Thirty-fifth division last
fall, which was proved against him
during rebuttal testimony. Adams
was opposing action but was not ask
ing for a decree himself, telling the
court on the other hand that he
thought he and his wife should make
up.
The couple, the testimony revealed,
were secretly welded at Emporia two
years ago while each was only 20
years old. They kept their marriage a
secret for one year, when they held an
announcement party in the form of a
mock wedding. With their friends
and relatives gathered about them,
they went thru regular marriage
ceremony performed by a minister.
after which they announced that they
had been married for a period of
twelve months.

HE DIDN'T OPEN THE DAMPER
Porter at Wood Motors Burned Trash
and Called Fire Companies.

Bill, the porter at the Wood Motors
company, hasn't built any fires in the
company furnace since last year.
That explains why he forgot to open
the drafts and damper when he de-
cided to burn some trash this after
noon about 1890 o'clock.

of full blood stock. The "pure
bred" business has been greatly
overdone in the way Of setting
up fancy priced stock on farms.
Consequently those who have la
bored many years to build up
fine stock find themselves in pos
session of animals that now
bring only market price for
breeding purposes. There must
be a realization of the fact that
every farm can't produce breed
ing animals only. The average
farm must market it's products
for food purposes. That does
not imply that the marketable
animals should not be good, pure
bred stock. Indeed, breeders of
long experience find that it is
cheaper to raise and market full
blood stock than to raise scrubs.
Therefore pure bred breeding an
imals will always command a
better price among farmers who
want them as such. A full blood
herd boar, for instance, is actu-
ally worth several times it's
market value to the farmer who
produces market animals be-
cause it's progeny will grow, fat
ten and look better, and conse-
quently bring a better market
price, than if he headed his herd
with scrub specimens. Farm
ers who have been raising the
pure bred standard Of their
herds and are in a position to Of

What Prices Show

At an auction sale near Red
wood Falls a few days ago a
$4,000 Duroc-Jersey boar sold
for $500. Over $4,000 worth
of full blood Duroc stock passed
over the auction block for less
than $4,000. 1t is to be noted
that the owners of this fancy
priced stock went into the hands
of receivers. During the past
several years a form of gamb-
ling in pure bred stock has come
into vogue that has the famed
Monte Carlo beat a mile. Five,
ten, twenty, and even fifty thou
sand dollars have been commonly
staked on single animals by men
from the ranks of the average
breeder. Men who started in the
pure blood business easily fell
victim to the "pure bred" conf
dence game and the promoters
planted their fancy animals on
many a farm. We do not mean
to disparage the true value Of
fine, pure bred animals but the
point is that unless a man is a
fancier with unlimited means he
had better confine himself to the
good, pure bred stock which may
now be had at reasonable prices.
A $4,000 breeding animal is an
absolute extravaganza about the
premises of the average breeder

AAASAAO oSJ
Each Member Has His s1Say"
To apply the method of con-
troll of the Grain Growers to a
given elevator in this section, it
is explained that the elevators or
local association the latter is
formed where for some reason,
elevator utilization is not COM
pleted is the unit. If $50 farm
ers in a given community ship
through a given affiliated eleva-
tor or association, these mem
bers will hold meeting month
or so before the national conven-
ton. These farmers will talk
over problems peculiar to the
organization, come to an agree
ment and elect one of their num-
Der to attend a larger conven-
ton, the lines for which will be
the same as for congressional
districts. In these congressional
conventions each delegate will
cast as many votes as his unit
has members. These congress
sional meetings, in turn will
elect delegates to the national
convention. There, permanent
policies will be determined and
directors responsible to the mem
bership and to no one else, will
be elected.
Thus, farmers of Lyon County
and vicinity, after they became
members, will have an opportun-
ity to bear their proportion share
Of the responsibility incident to
the establishment of this nation
al movement. All questions, for
instance, that have prevented
unity of action in Minnesota, will
be settled precisely as Minnesota
members decide.
