WELLINGTON. KANSAS
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1921, by Frank Crane)


In Wellington, Kan, they have an organization
known the Wellington Home Foundation.
number of citizens, rich and poor, have Clipped
in and established fund, from which loans are made
to any desiring to buy home
The solidity and morality of community is in
significant proportion to the number of its people who
own their own homes
A home owner makes poor soil for the noursh-
ment of the bacillus boshevkus.
No means have yet been discovered more certain to
make decent than to have house and yard of
his own, where he be bossed by his own wife and
look after his own children.
Mainly instrumental in establishing this founda-
tion was h. L. Woods, who and edits the Yelling
ton Daily News. In recent letter to me Mr. Woods
relates how it all started
"The vision of the Foundation" he says, "grew
out of my experiences. In the first ten years of
my married life | moved ten tmes-the last removal
being because could not pay the rent. When / was
looking for new habitation friend came to me and
suggested that should have home of my own; con-
fided that was moving because could not pay $40
month and must have cheaper house, by which he
could see that owning home impossibility
for me.
"He said, 4 have place you can have for $3.50 if
you raise $50 to pay down; it is good deal of
shack, but it is the kind you tyring to rent
found the $50 and moved in. had never had much
500 at one time since being married and in the
many removals had seen Mrs Woods trying to fit old
carpets to squares old curtains to new windows
and so placing the pictures to the cracks in pas
terng to the best advantage that it nearly broke my
heart and nowadays | never see a woman load of
furniture moving town that it does not
gulp in my throat.
"After making the first payment, we lived on al
most nothing, and astonshed myself by paying out
and getting deed in one year.
1T taught me something had not before known
How to Save. Also it convinced me that the ageold
advice Save and get Home is not the best advice for
most families, but should be changed to Get home
and save"
Two years ago Mr. Woods conceived the idea that
business started campaign, a company was
formed, and they now have fund of over $4,000.
They lend to home seekers. So far no borrower has
been so much one day late in making his monthly
payment and there has been no loss.
Wellington is real American town. 1t has the
largest park acreage per capita of any city in the
United States.
1t has the only municipal golf links that know of
west of the Mississippi 1t is used by bankers barbers
clerks and everybody else except cripples
1t has Park House, or Community House, where
any woman entertain. 1t is constantly in USE
1t has Stadium for athlete sports, and in it all the
Churches combine and worship during July and Au-
gust.
1t is planning to take whole block for civic
center and has voted $140,000 to build new audi
torium
On the whole it is the kind of town that is pecu-
liarly American a kind found in no other country
earth.
Out of such towns come the boys and girls that
going tobe the preferred stock of the human race.

The best answer comes from the railroads. which

Divide that UP among 100000 farms and
the average farmers gain would be $S45 year.
That is, if the farmer gets it.
The reduction is slight that it apparently is

comes serious if precautions are not
taken for it's control. Fortunately
practicable control measures are
known. They neCesstate Cd the use
of seed free from nematOde gals, (2)
sowing such clean seed on nematOde-
free land, (3) keeping wheat or other
susceptible crops off infested fields
for at least one year, and (4) keeping
nematOde-infested straw and manure
off land to be used for wheat within
a year.
The nematode is not able to move
laterally in the soil by it's own efforts
except for very short distances. Be
cause of this fact the disease can be
effectively controlled by the farmer
on whose land it may occur.
No wheat variety adapted for cul.
ture in the infested sections has been
found resistant to this disease.

Recent Investigations conducted by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture have shown tSat the English
sparrow is benefactor to humanity
at least in one respect. 1t is able to
kill nematodes parasitic on wheat.
In this nematode disease of wheat,
the parasitic worm forms gals which
take the place of the normal kernels.
During the early development of these
gals the sparrows seem to have a
special liking for them. At first it was
suspected that the sparrow might
spread the infection in this way, but
it was found that the sparrow's diges-
tive apparatus sufliced to kill the
nematOde.

1t Was Embarrassing.

from the East visiting in the small
town where my aunt lived as a girl,
seemed interested in her and she was
doing her best to outshine the other
girls of the town.
With her hair done up in curriers'
and her stylish instep length skirt
draped carefully to one side, she lay
resting in the outdoor hammock one
quiet summer day. Suddenly startled
by the creaking of the gate and thu
unexpected appearance Of the city lad
she overturned the hammock, which
became wrapped about her knees anC
held her long legs straight up in the
air. The young man, CALAMITY enough
rushed to her rescue; but she never

TEACH CALF TO LEAD EARLY
YOUNG Animals Are Easier to Handle
and They Should Be Fitted
With 4aIters.

Calves. especially those to be used
in the showing or purebred bulls or
hefers should be taught to lead when
very young. They are easier to handle
and much time and trouble will be
saved later on.
When calves are a few months old
they should be carefully fitted with
halters and tied up short time each
day. This will cause them to lead very
readily. Lead the calves to suckle or
to water for a few days. In leading
them for the first few times pull
diagonally first to one side and then
to the other.

Sweet clover, if allowed to become

my. Hay of that character is more
favorable for horses than any other
class of animals because horses can
consume and digest a larger percent

because the horse has an intestine Of

Value of Charcoal as Preventive OF
Ailments Cannot Be over-Empha-

The value of charcoal can scarcely

eating too much. Charcoal has great
purifying effect in absorbing noxious
gases and will correct many digestive
