Just a straw: The Garden City
sugar beet factory had plans ready
for a (275.000 reservoir to assist
the farmers in getting water for their

reported, they cancelled t the order.
It did not need a divorce proctor

Gov. Hodges has decided not to

One of the 1913 statutes provides
regarding hotels: "All carpets and

The statement of President Wll-

TOLD OF SAM WOOD.
When Colonel Sam , Wood was
alive and in his prime he was one
of the most resourceful men on the
stump there was In Kansas, relates
Tom McNeal. At one time when
he was living In Chase county a. prop
osition to vote bonds to aid In the
construction of a railroad was up
for consideration. Sam was opposed
to the bonds, while the late Senator
Plumb was for the bond Issue. A
meeting was advertised to be held
... v i
In Chase county in tne interest; oi
the bonds. Senator Plumb was ,to
address the meeting. Colonel Sam
Wood was one of the crowd at, the
meetinir. and got a friend of his
to suggest his name as chairman of
the meeting. It occurred to the
friends of the bonds that it might
be a good plan' to make Sam chair
man and In that way shut him off
from making a fight on the floor.
He was accordingly elected chair
man, and. after calling the meeting
to order and stating the object, he
proceeded to make a . speech intro
ducing Senator Plumb as the speak
er; He knew that Plumb had only
about an hour and a hairs time, as
he had another meeting billed for
the same afternoon.. He started in
on a most eulogistic Bketch of Plumb
giving his life, history In detail.
Plumb grew uneasy, but Colonel
Wood .warmed up to his work of
praise. He used up the entire hour
and a half in his speech of Intro
duction,. quitting wten he knew that
Plumb had no time left in which to
talk. ' Incidentally, Sam managed
to weave a number of telling argu
ments against the bonds, and finally
sat down, with the blank, innocent
lookon his face of a man who felt
that he had performed his duty well

GOOD BREAD WITHOUT FLOUR.
Bread without flour, and yet made
of wheat.idoes not seem reasonable;
but over in France, where the peo-
Dle try to get all the good from raw
materials without Injuring some of
the best qualities, they have found
a plan of making bread from ordin
ary wheat without having the grain
around into flour.
The wheat Is thoroughly washed
and allowed to soak in warm water
for several hours, and then It Is
placed in a device that crushes it,
as the mass passes downward, from
a coarse diup to a nne paaie.
The device is so constructed that
a series of screw threads pass over
other threads in opposite directions,
the threads Becoming smaller as the
mass passes downward, and when It
comes from the machine it is a
paste. This, with the salt and
yeast that is added before the grain
Is started through the new mach
ine, produces a light Bponge, and
it is baked into cakes and loaves
that- are pronounced most excellent
by the most expert bakers of the
country. an Francisco Chronicle.

Comparing the year 1912 with
1888, the government statisticians
find that the death rate in this coun
try per million of population, due to
murder, has Increased 175 per cent.
The death rate due to trespassing
has increased 47 per cent. The
death rate to passengers due to ac
cidents to railway trains hjas de
creased 69 per cent. The reduction
of the death rate to passengers Is
attributed to the vigorous caution
campaigns which the railroads have
carried on the year -around, educat
ing employes engaged in the hand
ling of trains with a view of trans
porting safely persons entrusted. to
their care. Suggestion has been
made that the employment of more
efficient methods ln educating chil
dren in the importance of obedience
to law would in a generation change
the death rate due to murder from
an lnciease to a decrease. . Sugges
tion also is made that the enactment
of laws to prohibit trespassing would
change the death rate due tb that
cause from an increase to a de
crease: Only nine states in, te
Union tave aistjuate trespass laws.

SOUGHT OTHER "REFORMS',
Major Leonard was sent out, to
investigate the federal prison , at
Leavenworth of which Deputy War
den Mackey has direct charge, "The
Leavenwprth Post tells what hap
pened:
"One of the things with which
Major Leonard found fault was the
manner in which the prisoners were
Bent to and from their meals. He
thought their marching was ? not
military enough, and determined to
correct the method. Therefore, after
a noonday meal tte third day after
nis arrival ne tooK command -oi
the situation and after informing
the prisoners of what he expected
of them, gave an order to arise.
There was immediate scuffling and
other disorder. Knives and forks
and ' tin cups were rattled on the
tables, feet were scuffled and there
were shouts and Jeers. The situa
tion finally became so serious" that
the investigator stood asde and re
quested Deputy Warden Mackey; to
take charge. ; Mr. Mackey stepped
forward and raised one hand, where
upon there was immediate silence
among the hundreds of prisoners In
the room. The men then ' were
marcihed from the dining hall to
their cells in the manner which al
ways nas been customary. There
after Major Leonard turned his at
tention to ctv.er 'reforms.' . -
FIND GOOD IN PEOPLE. 1

"If there isn't some good in eVery-

"Anybody can -"point out anybody
else's bad qualities. If you wish to
distinguish yourself go around point
ing out good qualities.
, "Pick out the man whom everyone
dislikes.. Select the one you feel
could best be spared from your office
from your circle' of ' acquaintances,
from the community In which you
live. . Ask jyourself if there Isn't
something good about him.
"Put him on a mental dissecting
table. Cut -him to pieces and see
what's In him. Remember you are
looking for the good. Throw away
the bad in him and forget it. Make
a list of his good qualities. ; It will
surprise you how many you can
find. ; .
."The next time you bear him
criticized tell people .the things you
know about him rthV good things.
You'll at least be different and you'll
find that it does you more good than
it does him.

"There are mlgbty few people n

"And yet the more good you find
