--
Kansas City — The situation in the
Kansas City cattle market is one of
acute shortage Thus far this year
150000 fewer cattle have been mar-
keted than in the same period in 1913
the smallest' receipts during any sim-
ilar period in more than twenty
years This decrease is attributed- to
the drought last summer
Another crop of prime corn fed
beeves cannot be made until the 1914
corn crop Is available which will not
be sooner than the middle of Novem-
ber In the meantime the demand
must be supplied from grass fed cab
tie and owing to the excellent con-
dition of the grass in the entire range
country cattlemen will be a-month to
six weeks late in marketing In many
cases cattle will be held until snow
drives them from the range
July cattle prices are the highest
ever known for this month Prime
thick-fleshed corn fat steers sold up
to $975 recently and heifers up to
$960 steers from below the quaran-
tine line up to $885 a new high rec-
ord for all time in that class and
Kansas grass fed steers were sold up
to $900 a hundred
HINDUS DRIVE OFF POLICE
In Battle at Vancouver 8everal Ca
nadlan Officers Are Severely
- Injured by Missiles
Vancouver B C — Scores among U
party of 175 policemen and constables
were injured several seriously In a
battle with several hundred infuriated
Hindus on hoard the Japanese steam-
er Komogata Maru in the harbor
here Showers of coal and other mis-
siles rained from the ship on the of-
ficial force which attempted to board
the steamer from a tug - In the face
of the fire the attacking party retreat-
ed and the attempt to board the steam-
er was temporarily abandoned
The Hindus braved the stream from
a big hose which the tug turned on
them and mercilessly pelted the men
on the decks of the tug with lumps of
coal 'Fire bricks and pieces of iron
from what is believed to have been
the wreckage of the engine room on
the steamer followed
The battle grew out of an attempt
to rid the harbor of the Japanese
steamer on which 350 Hindus came to
this port three months ago only to
have the Canadian immigration offi-
cials refuse them admission to the
country Their claim of a right to
land as British subjects was overruled
by the courts and the steamer was or-
dered to sail with them on board
The Hindus had been rebellious and
several times attempted to land but
were prevented

BRYAN FOR WOMEN
Secretary of State to Give Sup-
- port to Nebraska Suf-
frage Amendment " '
ISSUES FORMAL STATEMENT
Would Aak No Political Right for Him-
self That Hia Wife Could
Not Have
Washington — Secretary Bryan in a
formal statement Just ' issued came
out for woman suffrage He declared
that he would ahk no political right
for himself that he was not willing to
grant his wife and announced his in-
tention of supporting the proposed
state constitutional amendment ex-
tending the franchise to women to he
voted upon in Nebraska next Novem-
ber '
Woman Mr Bryaiaid had proved
herself equal to every responsibility
imposed upon her and would not fail
society in this emergency Above all
other arguments in favor of giving her
the ballot he placed the right of the
mother to a voice in the molding of
the environment of her children
‘The mother” the secretary said
“can justly claim the right to employ
every weapon which can be made ef-
fective for ‘ the protection of those
whose interests she guards and the
ballot will put within her reach all of
the instrumentalities of government
including the police power’’
‘The voters of Nebraska will at the
-election next-November adopt or re-
ject a proposed amendment extend-
ing suffrage to women on equal terms
with men” said Mr Bryan “As a
citizen of that state it will be my duty
to participate in the decision to be
rendered at the polls I have delayed
expressing an opinion on this sub-
ject partly because I have been seek-
ing information and partly because
my time has been occupied with na-
tional questions upon which the en-
tire country was acting but now that
the issue is presented in my state
I take my position I shall support
the amendment I shall ask no po-
litical rights for myself that 1 am not
willing to grant to my wife
’The first objection which I remem-
ber to have heard was that as woman
cannot bear arms she should not have
a voice in deciding questions that
might lead to war or in enacting laws
that might require an army for their
enforcement This argument is sel-
dom heard now”

To avoid criticism say nothing evil

It you want to lift people to better

The beauty of good deeds deserves
praising but that is no reason why
one should neglect his personal ap-
pearance The farmer who sneers at science
In farming generally has to get a
scientific neighbor to endorse his note
at the bank
Don’t make fun of the man who has
some new way of doing things — the
automobile is quite an improvement
over the ox-cart
The farmer who is always planning
how to do things without work is on
the wrong track No race was ever
won by a lazy horse
Just because a man is rich is no
reason why he is not a good man
Poverty and good citizenship do not
always trot in double harness
No wonder city people try to sell
farmers gold bricks when they see the
lack of-judgment they display in wast-
ing good feed on inferior stock
- Educating the farm boy along the
line of his father’s calling Is ail right
but unless the teachers are farm bred
or farm taught themselves what’s the
use?
The sweetest cherries generally
grow on the tips of the outer limbs
where they get the most sunshine
Prune to admit all the sunshine pos-
sible There is a medium In feeding which
It is best to follow It gives to each
animal just what lta system can read-
ily assimilate and make use of no
more no less
Every one of us knows people who
think they know It all but the man
who Is too wise to learn or too good
to improve has ceased to be of much
use In the world
’ Manure never contains a larger
amount of plant food than when It la
first made and except in special cases
the sooner it Is hauled out and applied
to the land the better
It Is cheaper to pay for dragging the
roads It’s a poor farmer who cannot
make ten 'times ae much as his share
of the tax on his own fields Instead
of standing on a split log platform
Some people never praise their chil-
dren for anything they do It’s a
mistake Children hunger for encour-
agement and many lose heart for lack
of It Open your heart and unlock
your tongue
When we make war on the birds It
is well to remember that the cherry
season lasts only a few days and Is a
very small part of our income while
the bugs are busy with the general
crops seven months In the year
GOOD STOCK HOLDS THE BOY
Problem of Keeping Young Men on
Farm May Bo 8olved by Making
Him Business Partner
“Let every farmer’s boy have an
interest in some well bred live stock
and the slogan ‘Back to the Land’ will
lose much of Its significance — there
will no longer be a movement away
from the country to the city”
This is the way G'C Humphrey of
the Agricultural college of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin looks at the prob-
lem Mr Humphrey believes that the
whole problem of keeping young men
on the land may be most easily solved
by making the boy a business partner
in the management of the farm As
soon as he is able to care for them he
should be given a few head of good
stock and allowed to handle and
market them as he thinks best
“Nine boys out of every ten have
an instinctive love for animals” says
Mr Humphrey “If the farmer would
take a little pains to cultivate thlp side
of his boy’s nature he would never
need to fear that the boy would grow
tired of the farm and leave
“First the boy wants a pet He
should have a good dog Then as he
grows older he turns from pets to
animals which will give a financial re-
turn for the pains he bestows upon
them At this stage of the game the
wise father will take a hand and see
that his son gets a brood mare a
heifer a few ewes or a couple of pigs
“But whatever the boy gets It should
be high grade stock for no matter
how great his interest In farm animals
If he spends time and pains on scrub
stock that wlQ turn him no profit his
enthusiasm is bound to decline In
my trips about the state I have often
noticed that the most contented boys
are found on the farms where profit-
grodudng herds and Socks are kept”
PROFITS GO TO MIDDLEMAN
Numerous Instances Cltsd by Colorado
Agricultural Expert Which 8how
-- Cause of High Prices 1
When the recent agitation-about the
high cost of living was in sway the
middleman came in for a good deal or
blame And it is little wonder that he
should have been blamed when such
conditions as the following were con-
stantly being discovered in all parts
of the country says Alfred Westfall
of the Colorado Agricultural college
Extra fancy Jonathan apples from
Wenatche valley Washington sold at
their local shipping point at $145 per
box They retailed In 'Chicago for
eight dollors per box a difference of
$665 Of this amount only 60 cents
was required to get the apples to Chi-
cago Of the remaining $595 $245
went to the wholesaler and $350 'to
the retailer both of whom got a larger
toll than the producer
In Montgomery county Pa dairy
men received f03 per quart for milk
for which the Philadelphia consumer
paid $08 the cost of freight to Phila-
delphia was c leaving the retailer a
difference of over 4c In other words
it waa costing more to get the milk to
the consumer than it cost to produce
it In Indianapolis the middlemen
combined one year when there was an
abundant apple crop and kept up the
retail price for apples The farmers
had plenty of apples to sell but the
middlemen refused to' buy more than
Just what they needed This cut the
demand and lowered the price the far-
mer received for his product without
benefiting the consumer There were
plenty of people In the city who want-
ed apples and plenty of farmers in
the country who had apples rotting on
their hands that they would have'
been willing to dispose of at almost
any price but the only means of con-
nection between the two was through
the middlemen who preferred to rgb
both rather than cut the profit
Such conditions ought not to exist
The function of the middlemen Is to
save time for both consumer and pro-
ducer by furnishing a steady market
This should give the farmer more'time
for production and be a convenience
to the consumer
One of the best preventions of un-
fair combinations is a city market
where the producer may bring his
wares and where the consumer knows
he can supply his wants This does
away with the middlemen’s profits and
tends to keep up the price paid to the
producer of those articles that are
sold to the middleman and tends to
lower the price he can charge the
consumer and all this at the expense
of the middleman’s profits
BIG BREAK IN CO-OPERATION
Two 8easons of Discouragement Have
Put an End to 8outhem Texas
Truck Association
For many years we have celebrated
the success of the Southern Texas
Truck Growers’ association
Now it is about to go all to pieces
Why?
Oh just because the price of onlone
last year and this has been poor and
the association unprofitable
During its existence the association
has collected from the railroads
claims and overcharges amounting to
nearly one hundred thousand dollars
These 2000 truck farmers clubbed to-
gether In buying their seeds from the
Madeira Islands and In this way saved
another $150000 For six or seven
years they made big profits
But two seasons of discouragement
have put an end to this co-operative
effort -
If these farmers could not get good
prices for their onions while making a
collective fight for profitable markets
what can they expect to do as single
individuals T ‘
Sticking together when the goose
hangs high Is one thing Any fool
has sense enough to do that but
standing together co-operatively when
the goose hangs low Is another propo-
sition It takes full-statured far-see- ‘
ing men to do 1L
The farmers everywhere have got
to learn the wisdom of Ben Frank-
lin’s heroic saying to the convention'
in Revolutionary times: “We must
all hang together or we will all hang
separately"
Putting one’s hand to the plow and
not looking back Is & virtue celebrated
in the New Testament
And the farmers will be obliged to
acquire this co-operative virtue or
they are forever doomed to failure
Co-operation is a business pro poet
tion It calls for sense and nerve and
courage — moral and spiritual!
It la a man’s Job and children fall
at it every time — Home and Farm-
stead Noxious Weeds
The presence of a number of noxious
weeds on a farm may be considered to
pass an adverse verdict on the indus-
try and farming capacity of the oo
cupler It is also an indictment of
want of consideration for his neigh-
bors because a carelessly-kept weedy
farm is not only profitless but a
source of injury to the adjacent prop-
erties Good Things to Romsmber
In buying feed remember white mid-
dlings are better than brown white
oats are to be preferred to the black
that coarse bran is better than fine
that hulled oats are better than oats
with the hulls on that a hits corn is
not so fattening as the yellow variety
and that kafir corn is an excellent
grain and should be more extensively
fed
