DON'T SELL TOO EARLY.
Farmers will do well to hold on their
farms as much wheat as their circum-
stance reasonably warrant. This is
the statement of W M.Jardino. dean
of agriculture in the Kansas Statu
Agricultural college. The conclusion
was reached altera conference of grain
men railroad olliclals elevator men
and others.
The present price which Is from CO
to On cents is low and is brought
about says Dean Jardinn largely be-
cause farmers aro rushing their wheat
to market faster than It can be taken
earn of thus causing congestion at
terminal pain'- 'f'10 world's wheat
crop is not unusually large nnd there'
will be morn wheat exported from the
United States than in several years
piat which Is not likely to result in a
low price for the coming year. The
lowest price according to dean Jar-
dine will probably bo reached in the
tnext six weeks and armor will be
observing good business methods in
holding their grain for a higher figure.
A serious car shortage and conse
quent congestion In marketing thocrop
can be avoided says Professor Jardlno
only by close co-operation among all
persons interested including the far
mer. Arrangements nre being made
to have local railroad agents furnished
with information as to inability of
wharf. steaniBhip. and elevator compa-
nies to dispose promptly of grain en
terlng gulf ports. This will get Infor-
mation to local shippers.
ARRANGE FOR "KATY" CONNECTION.
A telegram from Contractor Love
from Chicago which was rccoived
Wednesday slated that ho would leave

Former telegrams stated fhat tle
steel and ties had been purchased and
an engine and that they were being
shipped to Forgan. Arrangements
have been completed with Mr. Kell for
right-of-way through the townslte and
as soon as the M. K &. T. advises just
where they wish us to connect a force
will be put to work on tho grade be
ginning nt Forgan and surfacing back

portioa of the money needed to put in
the bridges nnd culverts has been
raised nnd the committee. who lias this
end in chnrgo expect to have this out
of the way within the next few days.
Some men boast of their ability to
get along with everybody. According
to our iden there is sptnothing wrong
with the man who can get along with
out having an enemy he is trying to
pour both hot and cold water from the

man of this type just you keep your
eye. open ana bee ti no aiun'i gei

Dear Abet
I nin sending you my check for J7.W
to pay for o.iras and announcement
I did not intend sending this unti'
next month ; but seeing at I dl.l jour
announcement of tho purchase of i
I'onl I know that you will either need
thU tor gasoline or your heirs will need
it to plant you In that city that knons
noitlier speed lawa nor lacks pavement
To be an assessor and-awn a Ford is
to bo a pariah ; but to be an editor and
own a Fori! is to be damned.
Boy I extend to you my most hearty
sympathy in your trials and troubles
that are to corns. When 1 think of
you sitting beside that self-propelled
vohlele and searching your soul for
uptlitllietB that would be worth whilo
when (in my mind's eye) I sco you
manfully struggling with tho nlr com-
pressor to overcome tho work of oue
tiny Insignificant tack; when In the
mazes of tho stilly night you come
struggling home foot sure weary nnd
your vocabulary warped to an unrec-
ognizable mass of vain mouthing; or
when I see you covered with grease
and grime after n forlorn charge upon
an Invisible enemy in jour ignition's
citidnl or uuy one of the billion and
ten thing that can happen to these
contraptions of Satan I lien I will arise
In my might 1 vjll( gather mysell
abovH all petty scraps and siiabtlCH
and go forth like a man extend the
hand of fellowship to you and welcome
you as onelont xoul dues another fo
AJjn deur boy you mny not know it
but you are awfully sick.
There have been lawyers doctors
merchants men of letters and others
who have had some claim to being sen-
sible that owned ii ford but whore
are they now? Think if you can get
your mind oil Its vain (enroll for that
vulii knock you hoard in the eiigine.
Think of the many who hnve gono be
fore and not one returned to tell
whether the road was rough or smooth.
Think of the many times that friends
of yours havo gone forth seeking joy
and pleasure in ono of those tinner's
dreams nnd what happened? Refore
they had gono a mile they were so
shaken up they wore unable to tell
whether they were goin' or comln' ;
and did not know It they wero to re-
joice over their cscapo or feel dejected
because the other fellow was alive to.
I only want to warn you against one
thing and that is this! Kevor give up
when the engine won't start. If at
first It seems cold and unmindful of
your vain pleadings don't sink to vul
gar awearlng. Think of spmething
that you would want to call your worst
enemy double it and thon get the
square root of It say It to the Ford
until you are black In the face get
your breath and start In cranking
After you havo crhncked for n little
loss than n week and your hand Is
blistered nnd you have inure breath
than a regiment could breathe go and
turn on the switch ; if this fails awear
again crank again cuss again grind
again and then do something nlso and
try it again ; but always crank It once
more It may have changed Its mind in
tno meanwhile.
Refore you go out in it think of the
many times we worn together and the
many pleasant moments wo have had.
Think before you go out. Abe because
you will not be able to think after you
get started. I am
Yours regretfully

ocratic newspaper publlsned th'a statu-
mennt that R. F. Lewis had filed as a
Progressive for County Surveyor to
which Lewis replied: "I tiled as a
Republican and do not wish any of
my friends in thls county to think that

to straighten out affairs in this state.
I am for John Fields for Governor
