The Story Of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXXIV.-KANSAS
W~ WAY back
~ S::az' \sM Coronado, the
HsESAATN Spanish eU-
NSAes6ajsD plorer, Is re-
WsySs$s3Sssf r17sy puted to have
Y %1sx@/ penetrated TO
SsnlsAs~ Kansas in
search OF a mythical wealthy In
dian tribe. 1t was not again Wis
tied, however, by white men until
nearly one hundred and seventy
five years later, when the
French in Louisiana sent out an
expedition to investigate the re-
mote portions of what was then
their territory. Most Of the pres
ent State of Kansas was q part
of the Louisiana Purchase and
so passed from French hands
to the United States in 1903.
A small additional part was
later added in 1850, being ceded
by Texas.
The Lewis and Clark party
traversed this region In 1904,
and Lieutenant Pike passed
through Kansas two years later.
Kansas history really becomes
interesting in the middle Of the
century, when the slavery agita-
ton gave it the name of BLEED
ing Kansas" II had been an I'M
organized territory since 1921,
at which time II had been con-
sidered a portion Of the Terri
tory Of Missouri. According to
the Missouri Compromise. II
Kansas became a state IL could
not be a slavery state. The op-
position of the South was so
strong the Kansas-Nebraska bill
was passed in 1854, making this
vital question optional with the
Inhabitants In each proposed
state. With this law In force,
the two factions actively started
colonizing Kansas. Immigrants
from the slave states of Arkan-
sas and Missouri Immediately
founded Leavenworth. The Mas
sachusetts Emigrant Aid soci-
ETY. sent out anti-slavery settlers,
who founded Lawrence, Topeka
and other towns. Conflict be-
tween these two parties broke
out at once, and 1t was only put
down by the Intervention Of fed
eral troops. The Northern set
tiers came In such numbers that
they soon were In the majority
and in 1851 an snti-slavery con.
stitution was adopted, % Kansas
was admitted to the Union In
that year.
The political dispute over Kan
sas was the cause Of the forma-
ton Of the present Republican
party.

PUBLIC UTILITIES
 CITES RAILROADS
 FOR NEXT MONDAY
Board Will Consider TranSpor- tation Rates on Velvet Beans and Velvet Bean Prod
 uCtS Next Monday

Montgomery April 2S.-CSpecia1. )-The citation of the public service commission to all railroads in Alabama to show why there should not be a readiustment of the transportation rates on velvet beans and velvet bean products will be considered by the commission at it's May meeting, which will begin Monday. Pro- ducers and shippers of velvet beans have complained that there is no general mar ket for their products now because of the high freight rates. In some in- stances, according to the complaints, the transportation charges are greater than the market value and that producers actually lose money on every sale.
 At the same meeting, the commission again will consider the petition of Ray Rushton, receiver of the Montgomery Light and Traction company, for per mission to establish the service-at-cost system in Montgomery This petition was denied last week. and MT. Rushton requested permission to furnish add- tiona1 evidence.
 The commission held that it did not have tho power to establish a rate which contemplated the creation of a surplus to the company. MT. Rushton proposed that the street car fares be 10 cents until s200, GOO is created as an operating fund, that the rate then drop to cents, where it would remain until the fund was re- duced to $l00,000 when the rate would automatically be increased. If the fund remained at $200,000 for six months un- der the Scent fare, the charge would be reduced to 8 cents and so on the rate going up or down in accordance with the operating fund

Brain Can'tWork Right OnThirn, ,Watery Blood
It Takes Iron to Make Strong, Forceful Magnetic Men
 With the Power and Energy to Win

Many a capable intelligent man just taiis just short of success-nearly "gets there but not quite-simply because he lacks sui ficient iron in his blood to give him the physical strength and power to furnish the proper force to his brain and the stay there" strength to his will" brain can- not do it's work right-think the thoughts that win-on thin, weak, watery blood any more than a locomotive can pull big train of cars with a weak smoldering fire under it's boiler
 When your blood is starving for iron no mere tonics stimulants can put you right. You must have iron, for without iron your blood loses it's power to change food into living tissue and nothing you eat does the proper amount of good. You do not get the full strength out of it. To get iron you must eat the husks of grains and the peels and skins of fruits and vegetables as our forefath hers did take a little organic iron from time to time and eat more such iron containing foods as spinach and apples. But be sure the iron you take is organic iron and not metallic or mineral iron which people usually take. Metallic iron is iron just as it from the action of strong acids on small pieces of iron, and is there

XXXV-Love's Programme

Mary laughed. A low happy laugh.
 "Dick!" She lifted up her head, traces of her late tears evaporated. Dick, if you and l are going to tramp the world together, tell me the pro- gramme firstH
 Sweetheart, you would adore it. We'd take a boat first to South Africa, and make long trek from th 6 Cape, up inland. Wed get away from towns, from civilization-out to the Veldt, where the sunlit air is like champagne. You'd love the utter free com of the life.
 T can picture you riding on trans rort wagon, hearing the queer im- precautions of the Kaffir drivers as they urge their bullocks on. I can see you picking a thousand flowers that grow upon the veldt, .exclaiming over their beauty.
 And at night the camp beside some rushing river. You-Mary-sittfngb be- side me in the radius of the fire that's built to keep the lions off. Full moon "a great white moon-the sweet scent Of gardenias-and far away the eerie crying of the jackal.

 Mary was smiling now.

 I'd rent bungalow near some tea plantation. You'd like the inscrutable native servants-some of them-one never understands them, though. Wed have tropical garden set about the bungalow. Flowers spring up almost overnight in the east, you know. Glow ing. short-lived-a symbol of mans life out there!"
 Wed be tremendously happy in our little bungalow. Just you and I. After the heat of the long day, when the servants had gone off to their own quarters, we'd go out to our garden, and listen to the ringing of the tenn

 Wed walk little further, toward the fringe of the jungle. We'd watch the Wild animals stealing down to some quiet pool for their evening drink. The sunsets there are glorious. Mary.
 And at nights, in our little bun galow, we'd read and talk, and be i'm mensely happy. The outside world would be shut off from us. But the wind-sighing around the place-would bring the sweet scent of the jungle from across the hills"
 Mary's eyes shone like two stars. Her breath came quickly. The pie lures this dear, backwoods lover con jured up gripped both her imagination and her heart.
 And after We left Ceylon, what next?" she whispered
 Dick Calardin smiled. He loved the eagerness in Mary's smoke-blue eyes.
 T think we'd go straight to the South Sea Islands. That's a kind of heaven" he said. T can think of noth- ing lovelier than the islands, Mary.

 Wed find some 9uiet, delightful spot, far off from anywhere. I'd build little 1ean-to' for you in the shadow of ban,Seoo tree. You could sleep al night on a bed of palm leaves, with the soft swish of water in your ears and the call of night birds all about you, and maybe ukulele playing in trta Southern Cross-shining like jewels m a deep blue sky-would keep a bright eyed watch on you, like faithful sen- tInels."
 "Oh it sounds just like heavenr' cried Mary eagerly A wild rose flush was in her cheeks. "Oh, Dick, it seems a fairy taler'

 Organic iron is like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach lentils and ap- ples. It may be had from your druggist un- der the name of Nuxated Iron. Nux- ated Iron represents organic iron in such highly condensed form that dose of it is estimated to be approximately equivalent Gin organic iron content) to eat ing one-half quart of spinach, one quart of green vegetables half dozen apples. It's like taking extract of beef instead of eating pounds of meat.
 To prove to yourself what Nuxated Iron will do, get your doctor to take a specimen of your blood and make blood count of your red blood corpuscles, then take Nux- ated Iron for month and have blood count" made and how your red blood corpuscles have increased and how much stronger and better you feel, see how the color has come back to your cheeks. how steady and strong your nerves have be- come.
 Over 4,0oo, 900 people annually are. using Nuxated Iror. It will not njure the teeth nor disturb the stomach Your money will be refunded by the manufacturers if you do not obtain perfectly satisfactory results. Beware of substitutes Always insist on hav- ing genuine organic iron--Nuxated Iron.

Montgomery, April 2S.-(Special,)- )-GoY- ernor Kilby declined to comment on the resolution of the Taxpayers league adopted Wednesday, which requested an extra session of the legislature for the tax assessments, but he commented caustically Thursday on the resolution offered by L. H. Reynolds, republican probate judge of Chiffon county, adopted unanimously winch called upon Con- gress to cut off many appropriations ana reduce all others Governor Kilby said the following of this resolution by Con- gross would mean the end or curtail- ment of road work, Muscle Shoals, im- provement of the port of Mobile and many other things which the govern ment is doing in Alabama with the CO., operation of the state government
 Governor Kilby declared the adoption of this resolution was like a blind bull in China snop," and indication of a lack of thought and foresight shown by the leaders who planned the meeting. He said he would make a formal state ment on the petition for the extra ses- sion as soon as the resolutions are de- livered to him by the committee Whlca was instructed to do so.
 To those who did not follow the pre- liminary work of the tax dodgers league there is amazement, and to those who did follow it there is amusement Of their resolution calling upon the Con- gross of the United States to cut off many appropriations and reduce all other appropriations" was Governor kilby' s comment on the meeting of the Tax payers league.

 Not only does this proposal, if suc~ cessful mean the abandonment of Muscle Shoals. withdrawal of federal support in the construction of public roads, in the building of great mar bor at Mobile and development of the river system of Alabama, but 1t means the end or curtdlllHeHt or ldIH eAl0h- sion work in Alabama, now carried on through the Alabama Polytechnic in stitute at Auburn, the public health prohibition enforcement and the campaign against moonshiners and illicit distillers, the movement for the ehabilitation of many Alabama sol diers who were injured in the World war. the rehabilitation of those in iured in industry, the aid to vocational education, the bureau of mines which the federal government has only re- gently esta blished at the university and of other work which the federal government has statrted in Alabama"
