PEOPLE Will TALK.

You may get through the world but,

AS you go; N:,- '>..
You'll be worried and fretted and
Kept in a, stew, &c.,
For meddlesome tongues must have
Something to do
And people will talk.
If quiet and modest, you'll have
II presumed,
That your humble position is
Only assumed, 90.
You're a wolf in sleeps clothing,
Or else you're fool.
But don't get excited--keep perfectly
For people will talk.
And then if you show the least
Boldness of heart,
Or a slight indication to take
Your own part,
They will call you All upstart,
Conceited and vain,
But keep straight ahead, don't
Stop to explain
For people will talk.
If thread bare your dress and

ical of his brother officers of high
rank, and that President Lincoln
warned him that as he had meted out
to others it would be measured to him
again.
Charlottesville proved to be an
orgy of confusion and paralysis both
to himself and his army.
AS conspicuous and brilliant a
soldier as William Tecumseh Sher-
man had to suffer the bitterness of
an overweening desire for popularity
by having his terms of surrender by
Joe Johnson at Raleigh repudiated by
the government. In that instance
Sherman's genius as a military man
was unable to measure swords with
the accomplished politician, Brecken-
ridge of Kentucky. Sherman was
easily beaten and suffered in at
tempting a role in which he had had
no experience, and for which he had
no aptitude.
Sherman was absurdly unapprecia-
tive of General George H. Thomas
who was never beaten on the battle
field and whose fame is secure as an
officer of the first rank.

THE SABOTAGE OF TIME

In his address at the opening of
the Chicago Pageant Of Progress,
Postmaster-Genera Work made
forcible presentation of the basic evil
in the coal mining industry. 1t is an
evil that everybody recognizes and
yet nothing effective is done about it.
As Doctor Work says, there are
about twice as many coal mines in
the United States as are needed to
perform the work of getting out the
nations supply of coal. There are
also very many more operating coal
mines than the country needs. The
result is that the miners ordinarily
work only about half time. Though
an extremely powerful union-a
union which causes its membership
dues to be collected by the employers
out of the wages of the men-they
demand a living wage for half-time
work.
''The sabotage of time by the idle
under pay" says Doctor Work, "and
of property intrusted to them, must
be added to the cost price of any pro
duct" And the price is paid by the
customers. And the consumers in
most instances are themselves wage
earners who work steadily through
the year to earn living. A large
percentage of the striking mine work
ers are not needed in the coal mining
industry on any terms. There are
industries where this surplus labor
that now will neither mine coal nor
let anybody else do so might be en-
ployed at good wages the year
around. Thus the rest of the miners
might have steady employment min
ing coal.
It is impossible to see why the peO-
PIE and the industries of this country
should pay for coal prices sufficient
to keep miners in idleness half the
year and give a profit to the owners
of thousands of producing mines for
whose product under properly. ar
ranged economic conditions there
would be no sale in competition with
mines where production costs are less.
Even this is by no means the whole
story. Coal mining can be done
largely by machinery at only frac-
ton of the cost of hand labor. The
miners union forbids the use of such
machinery.
Here is far-reaching sabotage that
makes coal dear and hard to get. No
settlement of the coal strike that
does not bring with it a searching in
vestigation of this evil by competent
federal commission will hold out any
reasonable prospect of leading to a
fair reduction in the excessive cost Of
fuel.-Chicago Daily News.

MISSION MOUNT.
A Bungalow Court Developed by The
Home Builders Association

Home Builders Association
During the past year most of Block
Two, Highland Addition, in the north
west part of Hays has been developed
by The Home Builders Association
into a Bungalow. Court which has
been named mission Mount" The
bungalow as is we'll known, originated
on the west coast and it is generally
presumed that the bungalow court
idea came from there also. Economy
in ground space, in material, labor
and up-keep among others are some
of the decided advantages in a bunga-
low court Insetad of facing a street,
the homes face a central court down
the center of which and at equal dis
tances from the front of the buildings
is a walk. From this central walk
other walks lead to and from the
homes in the court. Between each
home and the central walk is an
ample plot of ground for grass,
flowers, shrubbery and trees. The
court is private property, the absence
of a street or thoroughfare practical
ly insuring freedom from dust, mud
and the annoyance from passing
vehicles at the front of the home. A
plot Of ground between the buildings
can be used for a small family garden
if desired. Garages are built at or
ner the entrance to the property from
the rear.
The bungalow court is a sort Of
chummy community, the neighbors
enjoying a common front lawn, each
having but a small plot to care for in
return for the enjoyment from many
weu-kept lawns in the court. Two
rows Of attractive homes face each
other with a single house to complete
the court at one end. The concrete
walk down the center of the court
provides an attractive promenade.
Not all homes are limited to the bung-
allow type. In addition to getting the
maximum use from piece of land to-
gether with the other advantages
mentioned, this court idea promotes
better neighborly feeling and civic
pride. The owners form a small CO.
operative society and take keen in
terest in their little kingdom.
MISSION MOUNT is as high as
any, if not the highest point in Hays.
1t overlooks the picturesque Big
Greek Valley to the northwest, west
and south as we'll as a large portion
of the City of Hays. From its pOrches
one can see the trains leave the depot
at Yocemento. On account-of its alti-
tude and surroundings it cools off
early in the evening after the hottest
day.

WHY GO TO COLLEGE TO
STUDY AGRICULTURE?

Many people sneer at the idea that
it is worth while for bright young
man to go to college to study agricul-
ture.
It is true that most of the farmers
in the United States have never gone
to college at all, and that not all of
those who have attended college have
studied agriculture But it is i'm
portant to remember that the pioneer
days of American agriculture have
passed; that more and more the use
of brain as we'll as Drawn, of science
as well as physical strength, is be-
coming indispensable. It is also i'm
portant to remember that the work
of agricultural experiment stations
during the past thirty-five years have
built up body of scientific informa-
ton on which practical education in
agriculture is now based.
Agriculture is one of the industries
without which civilization cannot get
along. Agriculture is Americas great
est business.
All UIiAi ACSC4O1IGu IdCL VI 1I4OuCLII
civilization is that scientific know
ledge and industrial efficiency go hand
in hand. Agriculture is one of the
latest great industries to appreciate
this fact. Profitable agriculture re-
suits chiefly from the application of
scientific principles. These principles
involve many sciences, including
chemistry, entomology, botany,
zoology, and economics, in their agri-
cultural aspects, and agronomy, ami
nal husbandry, horticulture, and
other agricultural subject matter.
These are some of the subjects pur-
sued by college students in griculture.
In several states-Kansas, New
York, Missouri, Ohio, and others
available data show that agricultural
graduates find their college training
financially profitable to them in their
farming operations.
Moreover, college training results
in better living and better citizenship.
Finally, it is generally recognized
that American agriculture is INSULT
GENTLY supplied with high class lead
ership. Capable agricultural leaders
are needed everywhere-on the
farms, in agricultural organizations,
in creameries, seed houses, mills and
scores of other places.
To develop efficiency and leader
ship-that is the object and the re
suit of college training in agriculture.
And efficiency and leadership are two
of the best paying things in the world.

HOW ABOUT IT OLD STRICK.
LAND7
(RV NJ Il. j

Are we rewarded when we do well
in this world, and punished when we
do i'll?
1 had an aged comrade once who,
when in a quandary would question
himself by name and say, Chow about
it old Strickland?"
The Book answers eyes" to these
questions; it is always coldly direct in
the affirmative; no beating round the
bush.
At that point the common man
parts company with his Maker; if he
cannot have his way he will secede, or
try to, as JEFF Davis tried to do.
AS a rule those succeed who de-
serve to because they consult the
oracle Truth.
Abraham Lincoln was the colossal
figure of the Civil war; the consensus
of national opinion has awarded him
first place; yea, that is the verdict of
the judicious the world over.
Ulysses S Grant was President.
Lincoln's right arm in the field; he
came to that eminence in spite of
native modesty and self-abnegatioh ;
having come up from deep obscurity
he must needs open his treasures and
lay them at the feet of the Republic
gold and frankincense and myrrh.
The angels of a destiny too glitter
ing for words held before George B.
Mcclellan their alluring rewards; but
he remained steadfastly contemptu-
Gus of the only man who could help
him, and the result is his memory is
blurred and ever will be.
The sudden elevation of men of no
reputation-from shirt sleeves to
wearing the insignia of the Major
General turned the head of more than
one man during the Civil war
John Pope was one of these-a
man incredibly blasphemous toward
those of inferior rank, which had
much to do with his failure at the
second battle of Bull Run.
In 1868 the New York Observer, a
religious weekly, published the declar-
alton as coming from Joe Hooker,
that God Almighty himself could not
prevent him from securing victory
at Charlottesville. We know that
Hooker was continuously hypercrit-

FINDS OLD DOCUMENT

LineOIn's Signature Appears on
Patent Unearthed in Land Office
CIV. Miller, register of the United
States land Office, the other day found
in his office a document signed by
Abraham Lincoln.
The document is a patent, deciding
a quarter section of Bourbon county
land to Zephaniah Burroughs. The
land was assigned to Burroughs by an
Indian, who was the guardian of an
Indian boy, who had inherited the
land from his father, Parch Corn
Flour.
Parch Corn Flour received the
quarter from the government as a re-
ward for military service in the war
of 1912.
The patent in part reads:
''Te So Yo Ke, minor child of Parch
Corn Flour, deceased, warrior, Capt
George Fields company, Cherokee

No Protective Tariff ever diminish
ed foreign trade, except that it put 4
check to certain imports. 1t has al
ways built up our foreign trade, and
it has always built it up in our favor.
For example, our total imports and
exports in 1894 were 1,547 odd mil
lions, in 1898, 1875 odd millions, and
in 1902, 2,285 odd millions. Thus
we see from an exerience of moving
from Free-Trade to Protection how
our foreign trade expanded. And the
figures for other years tell the same
tale.-Clarksburg (W. Va.) Daily
