KANSAS TEACHERS WILL
BANQUET LEGISLATORS

TOPEKA, Kas.. Jan, ll.--One of
the novel events in connection with
the coming meeting of the Council OF
Administrator and the Educational
Council of the Kansas State Teachers
Association TO be held in Topeka
January 20, 81 and 22,, will be ban.
quet at the Chamber of Commerce ia
the members Of the Kansas Legisla-
ture by the teachers of Kansas. This
banquet will be held Friday evening,
January 81 and will be given under
the auspices of the Kansas State
Teachers Association. Two hun
dred of the leading school men and
women of Kansas will purchase tick
cts for this banquet, paying a suf-
ficient amount for these tickets to
provide for two hundred compliment
tary tickets to be issued to the men,
bers of the Kansas legislature and
the leading state officers. Brief af-
ter dinner talks will be made follow
resentative school people. These
ing the banquet, by number of rep
talks will set forth the needs of the
Kansas schools, and it is believed
that both the members of the Legisla-
ture and the school people will derive
much benefit from this get-together
meeting.
Referring to the banquet today,
F. L. Pinet, secretary Of the Kansas
State Teachers Association, said, 1--WE
are not attempting to put anything
over. We have no slush fund We
merely want to put all the cards on
the table and talk over some Of the
vital school problems Of Kansas with
the members of the Legislature. We
believe that this frank and open way
of meeting the members Of the Legis-
lature is much better than the old
fashioned method of button-holing
individual members"

KANSAS TOWNLEYS
WATERLOO" SLOGAN
Educational Campaign Is Under MayTe
Save Kansas From Fate Of
North Dakota
A COUNTY UNIT IS TO Be FORMED

If the farmers of Kansas want
Townleysm it is their privilege. At
the big meeting at Salina Monday the
death knell of violence was sounded
and instead program for a cam
paign of education was launched.
Townley's statement that the Am
erican Legion and the business in
terests will be refuted, the almost
unbelievable features of the North
Dakota program will be exposed and
it will be up TO the farmers of Sc
ward county to take their choice.
1t is not doubted by any thinking
man that the business interests and
the American Legion are more inter-
ested in the case of the farmer than
is W. C. Townley. The business men
of Liberal are not blind enough to
their own interests to try to prevent
better condition for the farmer,
because their bread and butter de-
pends absolutely upon the production
of the territory round about.
This is one reason for the agita-
tion against the Non-Partisan
League. This organization has not
bettered the condition of the farmer
of North Dakota as exhaustive re-
search has revealed. AS a proof of
this statement we quote Mr.. Hoefer
of the National Wheat Growers AS
sociation that the farmers of North
Dakota were anxious to joining the
organization because they had to
have relief from the condition into
which the wheat raising industry had
fallen.
Townley has absolutely controlled
North Dakota for six years, yet it
was necessary for bunch Of Kansas
and Oklahoma farmers to go to that
state and put over program of re-
lief. If the Non-Partsan League is
of so much benefit to the farmer it
should be getting results after six
years control.
The Democrat realizes that some
good citizens of this and adjoining
counties have taken membership in
the league but we believe they did it
without knowing just what they were
doing. and we have no quarrel with
them. We should like to talk to T.
and give them such information as we
have been able to gather, and If
they still feel that they are right we
will not fall out about it.

last leg of their long and eventful
journey back to civilization.
Ill feeling continued between Lieu
tenants Hinton and Farrell, who
came to Lowiv last night but both
held themselves well in leash al
though they talked freely today.
Hinton who crossed the Atlantic
on the N. C. declared that he had
rather cross the sea five times than
to repeat the exposure endured in
the north woods, and declared that
all past thrills dwindled compared
with the experience just undergone.
Farrell was not talkative.

But Few Changes In Occupants of the Court
House as Result of November Election

teen months he has been chairman
of the board. In explaining the rea-
son for this break Joe says that it
was during the time of the county
seat trouble and the other two men,
bers, not liking his stand framed up
and transferred the craftsmanship.
When he was first elected Seward
county was larger than later, as the
tide of immigration was strong,
while a short time later came the
exodus. When he first assumed the
duties of the office the county had
vote of 1900 but this dwindled to
around 70l.
The county was not particularly
prosperous when he went into office.
County warrants were worth 40 to
so cents on the dollar and the county
owed 100000. At this time despite
the improvements made warrants
worth face and this indebtedness has
dwindled to around $4,000 with
almost half enough in the sinking
fund to retire it.
On account of failing health Mr..
Fuest refused to again become can
didate for the office and a successor
was named
Joe was always square with the
people, and while it is possible there
have been disagreements as to his
administration, no doubt that every
transaction was concluded according
to his honest conviction as to the
right or wrong of the thing.
He has served the county wei
and faithfully and the people owe
him their Instinted gratitude for the
part he has played in the affairs o
the county and the southwest,

X. A. c. OFFERS EIGHTEEN
DIFFERENT COURSES

MANHATTAN, Kans., Jan. IL
Rice Davies and v. Kenneth Gilbert
of Liberal, were among the 120 stu
dents who attended the farmers
short course at the Kansas State
Agricultural college last winter.
These young men were the only stu
dents from Seward county. A much
larger number of students is looked
for when the enrolment opens jan
uary 10th.
In this eight weeks course that is
offered each winter an enormous
amount of practical information can
be obtained. The theory of the sub
ject is left in the background, and
only the practical facts are taught.
The course is never taught by
theorists. The instructors are al
ways men who have had great deal
of practical experience in the IL
inherent COuISeS IidI dlC DSiHS VI
fered.
The animal husbandry classes will
be taught by men who have devel-
oped the college herd to its present
standard More than $4,000 in prizes
has been won by this herd during the
past two years.
Dairying will be taught by men
who have worked with the college
herd, and by the men who are at
the head of the work in the college
creamery. These men have so i'm
proved the college herd that the
dairy cows show an average butter
fat production three times as great
as the average Kansas cow.
Farm management and other sub
jects dealing with the commercial
end of the farm will be taught by
men who have made extensive inves-
tigation in Kansas on the economi-
cal features Of agriculture.
