lilies today are mourning the loss OF

committed suicide last week by
jumping off a steamer on his way to
Boston.

two families, one in New York and
the other in Boston.
His New York family consisted of
wife mad a 24year-old married
son, F. Harold Irwin. The Boston
family numbered a wife, a 37year-
old son, Arthur Irwin, two daugh-
ters and nine grandchildren.
Neither wife knew of the others S
existence and both maintained that
he had been a devoted father and
husband
The New York widow was slow to
believe the revelations. She said
that in the 27 years he had never
been away from home more than a
few days at time when he would
make trips to look at young ball
players on college teams and in the
minor leagues.
Both widows asserted that their
husband wanted to die in their
arms.
The New York widow says that
Irwin left her to bid goodbye to
friends in Boston and was going to

week he started west on top of

look for work. A railroad detective
chased them from the car. and the
own motor car and clearing $500 a

chased the five hoboes thru the jun
giles back to Topeka.
A short time ago the bureau
placed" an old man on a farm. The
old man had been an inmate of the
county farm once before. but was able
TO do light chores about farm. and a
farmer found it worth while to keep
him employed at that.
But the old man possessed a Per-
sian cat of which he was very fond
and the cat did not thrive on the farm.
Mice were plentiful and the cat caught
and ate so many that its indigestion
suffered.
Tine racket the old gentleman raised
about the cat, and the fact that the
| farm did not agree with the animal,
sufficed to send him back to the en-
, ployment bureau, looking for another
job.

man who said he was a farm hand,
met at the employment bureau, and
came to an agreement. last fall, dur

, the farmer sent his new hand to the
field with a team, to husk corn. At
noon he went out to see how the new
man was doing. He found the team
tied to fence while the new man
was industriously husking corn, throw
/ ing it into the basket, and when he
had the basket filled, carrying it to
the edge of the 160-acre field to empty
into the wagon.

The same day an 1S-year-old young

Kansas Livestock Changes
During Last Half Century.
Large Number of Species Are
Unknown Today.

Perhaps it is a case of survival of
the fittest, but, anyhow. a number of
porcine species that held, the front
rank in the Kansas livestock world
half century ago have become ex-
tinct. Turning back to the early rec
ords of the Kansas board of agricul-
ture. which was founded fifty-three
years ago, reveals this fact
Ever hear of the Short-faced Ian
cashire hog? Or the woburn Irish,
Nagis, Cumberland of China?." asked
J. C. Mohler, secretary of the board.
These were some of the breeds for
which the Kansas State Agricultural
society offered premiums at the Kan
sas State Fair only 5S years ago in its
expressed desire to point out to the
general farmer the best grades of
hogs to raise in Kansas
Prizes were offered for 'Berkshires
and other small and distinct breeds
The Polands' were classed with
other large breeds and the 'Chinas
with the small breeds.
There were no Duroc Jerseys in
those days altho the United States de-
partment of agriculture tells US that
this breed comprises 34-2 per cent of
all the hogs in the country today.
IN 1872, when the society became
the state board of agriculture. the
population of the state was given at
605,000 with twenty-nine counties not
yet organized. Several changes in
the county names had been made
MCGEE county was changed to Chero-
kee; Hunter to Cowley: Godfrey. to
Seward and later to Howard; Lykins
to Miami; Dorm to Neosho. Madison
county was divided into Breckenridge
and Greenwood and then Brecken-
ridge was later changed to Lyon.
Among the unorganiZed counties were
Arapahoe, Buffalo, Gore. Kansas
and Sequoyah which do not appear on
