A year ago we were in the midst of
politics. The Record, for one,wishes
there was an election this year.
David Ilarum said flees kept a dog
from worrying about his troubles,
and a lot of canditates buZiing about
would keep a farmer from worrying
about the wheat he didn't get. Gove

J. X. Tindal, just east of town,
says he looked out across a piece of
land lie had sown to wheat the other
morning and it was brown and bare.
The next morning he looked again
and it was a blanket of green. The
wheat had come up an inch in twenty-four
hours Osborne Firmer.

A Chase county farmer saved her
hogs from cholera by suspending
bags of assafeotida from their necks.

three things: Assafeotida, bacon and
hog cholera.

school teacher is Charity, and should
be recognized as such, particularly in
any case where it costs money,

Gov. Woodrow Wilson is sweeping
everything before him before the

out that the Kansas democratic edi

Wilson and that they would endorse

Champ Clark. Those who think that
Governor Harmon of Ohio is out of
the race are lacking in political dis
cernment, for he is the strongest o?
the Democratic possibilities. Wilson
may be nominated but the chances
are largely that he will not be.

JUDGE RUPPENTHAL ON REVISION
The proposal of Charles Sessions,
secretary of state, that the Kansas
statutes be codified is meeting with
the approval of lawyers over the
state. The laws have not been codi
fied since 1868, tho an effort was made
in 1879 to do so, but the legislature
of that year did not approve of it.
Juage J. c Kuppenthai or this ju
dicial district, and one of the men
who helped revise the civil code, and
a member of the committee on the
criminal code revision, in a letter to
Mr. Sessions, makes many suggestions
as to matters that could be worked
out in a complete revision. He
points out that in the laws relating
to schools, bridges, probate courts,
the insane and delinquent, surveyors,
county officers, boundaries of dist
rict courts, justice courts, cities,
libraries and numerous other sub
jects, that there is constant repition
and changes that make the statutes
burdensome and cumbrous. In one
place a city of the first class is given
right to do things and then the same
section is repeated verbatum in an
other part of the book relating to
second and third class cities. The
same is true of almost every chapter
in the book, there is something in
one section that is repealed in anoth
er chapter on a different subject.
Much of this could be removed with
out abating one jot or title from the
meaning or scope of the statutes.
Judge Ruppenthal also suggests that
the revision could clarify many sec
tions by changing the reading.

Conditions Are Good
Jacob Mohler, of the state agricul
tural department, who has been sent
out in this section to investigate the
agricultural conditions, says:
"Western Kansas is developing and
making a better percentage in an
agricultural way than Eastern Kan
sas. I have been visiting practically
all the western counties from Garden
City west and am now going over the
counties from Norton west and I find
the people making great improve
ments in farming conditions and I
believe on an average that the old
settlers here today are better satisfied
than those in the eastern part of the
state."
A Salve Spreader
Henry Weill, a horse buyer from
Lancaster, Pa., was in town Monday.
He bought Ed Forney's black team
for $250 and Squire Sherman's old
sorrel 1 mare for $2.50. Sam Lengel
says ; the mare was no colt thirty
years ago. Mr. Weill is mostly
Dutch and is a salve spreader' from
away back. He came out here with
out an overcoat and with no heavy
clothing. He was wearing' a news
paper in the front of his vest and
said it kept the wind from getting to
him as effectivly as a blanket would
Gove County Record.
Smart Guys
Two weeks ago three Xess City
boys got, too much tanglefoot down
their gullett and meeting a man near
Mont Zion, pointed a revolver at him
with the order to throw up his hands
Seeing they were drunk he drove on.
Meeting another man they made him
drink with them. Probably the boys
regard this as a joke but if the law
took hold of the matter and the boys
punished perhaps the humor would
be missing.
Rules For Would-Be Brides
Hot that the future brides of Wa
Keeney and Trego county need any
special advice on the matter do we
print the following advice from a
Chicago young lady an actoress, if
you please:
"If you contemplate marriage, do
not accept a man because he has
those beautiful eyes.
Consider his fashion-plate dress.
Mind if he has a wart on his nose.
Above all, first learn if he is do
mesticated. Kansas City Market Report
Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct. 24
Twenty-four thousand cattle here to
day, added to the thirty-two thou
sand that came in yesterday, makes
formidable bunch for two days.
Bulk of the native grass steers sell at
$5.25 to $6.50: range beef steers bring
$4.40 to $6.00; bulls $3.25 to $4.25 and
feeders $4.65 to $5.90. Frosts have
burned the grass over pretty much
all over the country and cattle will
be thick at the markets for a while.
The liberal run of 17,000 hogs here
today, and there was more punish
ment meted out to the medium and
light weights, the heavies holding
almost steady. - Top hogs brought
$6.50, and anything decent in the
heavy class sold $6.40 and upwards;
butcher weights $6.20 to $6.50; pigs
$4.25 to $5.25.
There is no reduction in sheep re
ceipts. A larger country demand
takes care of the increased propor
tion. Top lambs $5.90; wethers $3.75
feeders $4.65.
Tragical Wedding Party.
An appalling happening occurred In
Turkey a few days ago. at a wedding
celebration, the bride, bridegroom and
twenty-eight of the guests being blown
to pieces. A powder merchant named
Yanla was celebrating bis wedding in
the village of Slnan. in tbe Yemen
when a terrific explosion occurred In
one of the rooms where powder was
stored. Tbe bride and bridegroom
and guests all perished, some of them
being terribly mutilated
