The year 1921 marks the fortieth
anniversary of the founding of the
Daily Drovers Telegram at the stock
yards at Kansas City.
Some one once propounded theory
which he called The Theory of the
Survival of the Fittest, and this, like
the law of supply and demand has
been proven sound. Less worthy
papers have come and gone and been
forgotten since 1881, but the Drovers
Telegram is going stronger than ever
in spite of hard times. Unless the
world comes to an end in the mean
time, the Drovers Telegram will be
furnishing your sons and grandsons
news forty years from now, in the
people it serves
If you have been living next door
to the DroverS Telegram and haven't
been acquainted drop into the Office
of the Western Kansas World and let
the editor tell you about it.
According to the agreement reached
by some of the farmer organizations
the harvest wages are to be decided
this year by the price of wheat. Three
bushels for a days work was decided
upon which appears to be a just basis
as long as the price of wheat is going
down.

Wood Republica, Indiana. Mr.. Blan-
ton, he asserted, was not even ain on

The demonstration reached re-
inarkable proportions when a tap of
the gavel marked the close of the
time allotted for the speech. Demo-
Gratis, first on their feet in a body,
were Joined at the same instant by
every Republican. There was rush
to the front as members struggled to
grasp Mr., Summers hand.
Above the tumult Representative
Blanton strove vainly to make him
self heard. AS Mr.. Summers turned
toward his seat another group Of
members started toward him to offer
congratulations, Mr.. Blanton, his
voice pitched high, again attempting
to gain a hearing. Again he was
howled down. as dozen Republicans
insisted on enforcing the rule that
he take his seat
A after the hubbub had kept up for
several minutes, Chairman Slemp of
the sub committee in charge Of the
Notifications bill, which was before
the House, gave the Texan three
minutes to reply. but nobody could
hear half of what he said. Right at
the start Mr.. Blanton caused a row
by charging that Representative
Campbell. Democrat. Pennsylvania,
had asked him to keep away when
the salary bill was called up.
Pale with anger, Mr. Campbell
jumped to his feet and shouted an
indignant denial, declaring there was
not word of truth in the statement.
Apparently unruffied. Mr.. Blanton
turned toward the Republican side
and chafflrged that Representative
Strong of Kansas had requested him
not to demand a roll call on the
measure.
Also angry Mr.. Strong walked to-
ward Mr.. Blanton and told the
House the statement was false.
In the last minute of his time, Mr..
Blanton declared that Mr.. Summers
wanted to run for the Senate from
Texas and that this desire was the
basis of the attack on him.
At this the whole House AGAIN
rose. and the echo Of the mighty
shout the statement provoked must
have reached the Senate and dis
turbed it's dignity. Old members said
later it was the most remarka bic
spectacle they he'd ever seen. Finally
when some semhlance of order was
restored, Rlanton declared that he,
too, had been mentioned by Texas
papers for the Senate. Nothing could
be heard after that, for the uproar
got beyond all bounds
The attack today on Mr.. Blanton
was the culmiaation of many made
heretofore by members who charged
that he was continually blocking leg
islation by points of order

Y. M. C. A. NOTES

Plans are being made to organize a
Woman's Auxiliary at the "Y" for
the purpose of giving the ladies of
the city an opportunity of helping in
various ways. In making up the pre-
liminary organization the pastors are
being asked to appoint two ladies
from each church and the directors
will also appoint two. The ladies can
help in many ways in making the
'l' more useful for the girls and
women and especially on Tuesdays,
which is given overaexclusively to
women.
Delegations are being organized for
the State Boys Conference, which is
to be held in Portland, March 4, and
6. The "Y" will send five delegates
under the direction of Lewis Cleaves.
1t is also expected that each church
in the city will send delegation.

Leafy Spurge Threatens
Pastures in New York

The invasion of a European weed
known as The leafy spurge has be-
come SO serious in Orange County,
N. Y, the last two years that it
threatens pastures, meadows, and
such crop as corn and oats. The
weed has been known in Orange
County for a dozen years, but never
before was considered no*ious. IT'S
spread in the rich dairy and farm ag
territory of Ora rge County has been
50 rapid, however. that the county
agent recently requested the depart
nlent weed specialist to look over the
situation, in company With STATE
experiment station representative.
Farmers faced a temperature of 1S
degrees below zero to attend the con-
ference, and 10 of them volunteered
to try out experimental eradication
work on their own farms.
Among the methods which will be
tried are cutting patches Of the weeds
in June and applying crude dried salt
at the rate Of 20 tons and 10 tons to
the here, cutting in June and saturat-
ing the patches with kerosene, using
various fertilizers, nswing before
seed time. blowing throughout the
year, crop rotation. spraying with iron
sulphate solution. spring blowing fol-
lowed by summer following, fall
sowing of buckwheat. and the plant
ing of corn the succeeding spring. A
large amount of publicity will be
used to enlist farmers in the pre-
liminary fight.

name is Euphorbia esulas ID a plant
growing about 2 feet tall. with a
strong milky central stalk branch
ing toward the.top, and leaves about

this measure in an erldeavor to find
cut what the real limits of the park
were but was unable to find out any
thing satisfactory.
Mr.. Carter said that the Great
Northern Paper CO. was opposed to
this measure because of that section
which would give the right of emf
nent domain in the taking of lands.
''The principle in this bill is wrong
and unconstitutional" said Mr.. Car
ter.

Hiram college.
DR.. OFT began public speaking at
the age of eighteen, and when TWEEN
ty-two went to New York to study
the speech arts. Here he had a brief
/ stage career, studying the methods
Of great actors.
His oratory is of the conversation
al style, his voice is equal to the
largest auditoriums and his control
over audiences is said to be most re-
markable. No personal matter ever
creeps into his lectures, for he thinks
the word.'T the ugliest in the lecture
vocabulary.
The humor Of DR.. OFT is too elusive
for description. He tells few funny
stories, yet sets. audiences into laugh
ter with half sentence.
Millions of people have heard his
lectures and he fills more engage
ments than any man in America. He
has lectured in every state in the
, Union and has appeared by request
before state legislatures SO that the
views outlined in his lectures could
be adopted in the making of state

He has had the opportunity that few
men of the country have had, if any,
of making a nation wide comparison
of the different groups of men which

business organizations have adopted
programs which he has outlined to

commercial organizations, Chambers
of Commerce, Rotary Clubs and
Boards of Trade in the cities where
he lectures. The Boston Rotary Club
