Fight Against Plague Goes On.
Although the survey of the past
year's anti-tuberculosis work shows
that much has been done, the reports
from all parts of the country indicate
that this year the amount of money to
be expended, and the actual number
of patients that will be treated will be
more than double that of the past
year. For instance,' special appropria
tions have been made in the various
municipalities for next year's anti
tuberculosis work, aggregating $3,976,
600. In addition to these appropria
tions over $4,000,000 has beer, set
aside by the different state legisla
tures for the campaign against tuber
culosis this year. Besides these sums,
a large number of the present exist
ing institutions and associations are
planning enlargements of their work,
and new organizations are being
formed dally.
Rich Territory Opened up.
The development of the Brazilian
Amazon valley must in time amount
to untold wealth. In the states of
Para and the Amazonas and the fed
eral territory of Acre there are near
the water's edge 10,000,000 rubber
bearing trees of the Hevea variety.
These trees if properly tapped will
live indefinitely and steadily increase
their yield. The state of Para is con
siderably larger than Texas, and much
of it will grow excellent cotton.

WHEN DINNER COMES
One Ought to Have a Good Appetite.
A good appetite is the best sauce,

the digestive process, and that is abso
lutely essential to health and strength.
lUany persons have found that Grape
Nuts food is not only nourishing but
Is a great appetizer. Even children
like the taste of it and grow strong
and rosy from its use.
It is especially the food to make a
weak stomach strong and create an
appetite for dianer.
"I am 57 years old," writes a Tenn.
grandmother, ."and have had a weak
stomach from childhood. By great care
as to my diet I enjoyed a reasonable
, degree of health, but never found any
thing to equal Grape-Nuts as a
standby.
"When I have no appetite for break
fast and just eat to keep up my
strength, I take. 4 teaspoonfuls of
Grape-Nuts with good rich milk and
when dinner comes I am hungry.
While if I go without any breakfast I
never feel like eating dinner. Grape
Nuts for breakfast seems to make a
healthy appetite for dinner. -
"My 13-months-old grandson had
been very sick with stomach trouble
during the past summer, and finally we
put him on Grape-Nuts. Now he is

KANSAS (MIS WHEAT
KING OF THE WORLD
ONE MAN'S PROFITS WERE SIX
TY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
James Fike of Colby Harvested 10, COO
Acres of Grain Last Lear
Came West Quarter
Century Ago.
Topeka. Kansas now lays claim
to the wheat king of the World. His
name Is James N. Fike of Colby, for
mer railroad commissioner and for
mer registrar of the land office for
northwestern Kansas under the last
Cleveland administration.
His vast operations in wheat pro
duction during the past season can
perhaps be comprehended easier
through some figures. Here they are:
His wheat fields aggregated an area
of eight miles long and two miles wide.
This is equivalent to sixty-four
farms of 160 acres each, the average
size Kansas farm.
It took ten car loads of wheat to
seed his fields.
He manufactured his own steam
plows with which to break the soil.
Each of these plows can turn fitfy
acres a day easily.
It required 250 harvest hands a
month to gather the crop.
Four threshing machines were kept
busy for a month threshing the crop.
It required 120 freight cars of 1,000
bushels capacity each to move bis
crop.
After gathering this crop Mr. Fike
went the season's record one better by
sowing 12,000 acres of wheat for the
coming year's harvest. This will give
him a wheat area this time ten miles
long and two miles wide.
When James N. Fike arrived in
Colby twenty-five years ago in a cov
ered wagon, drown by two small po
nies, and accompanied by his plucky
little wife and two small sons, it was
far from his amlbition to be the fore
most wheat producer of the world.
His sole aim at that time was to se
cure a homestead for his family and
to live a comfortable life.
Had Served His Time.
Leavenworth. Wilbur Norton was
released from the Kansas penitentiary.
He had served" 16 years of a 20 year
sentence for the murder of a chief of
police at Wellington, Kan. His origi
nal sentence of life imprisonment was
commuted to 20 years several years
ago.
Mayor Orders Dogs Killed.
Chapman. Mayor Scanlan has is
sued a proclamation to the effect that
on and after the 15th all dogs must
be shut up at home or securely muz
zled. All dogs found running at large
after the 15th will be shot by the city
marshal. This stern measure is taken
as a precaution since the mad dog
scare a few days ago. No less than
seven dogs have already been killed.
Atchison Wants Y. M. C. A.
Atchison. A number of the business
and professional men of Atchison met
and inaugurated plans for the con
struction of a Y. M. C. A. building at
Atchison. B. P. Waggener was pres
ident at the meeting and said he be
lieved he would be able to interest
Helen Gould in the project. It is
planned to raise about $50,000 for the
building and Mr. Waggener will se
lect a committee in a few days to un
dertake the work of raiscing the funus.
Several Atchison men have promised
substantial donations, one of them be
ing willing to start the list with $5,000.
National Bank for Gypsum.
At the annual meeting of the Gyp
sum Valley State bank, it was de
cided to convert the bank into a na
tional bank with a capital of $25,000,
and . to that end an application has
been filed asking for a charter. If
nothing unforseen happens the Gyp
sum Valley State bank will be doing
business as the Gypsum Valley Na
tional bank within the next thirty
days.
Robbers Raid Resort.
Atchison. Robbers raided a resort
known as Turner hall in Crowberg, a
mining camp near here, and killed
two men. One other was wounded
and the robbers escaped with $200.
The dead: Frank Ansline and George
Smith. Twenty men were fn the place
when the robbers entered. These
were forced to line up and surrender
their valuables. Ansline and Smith
resisted and . were shot down. Bert
Turney ran to their aid and was also
shot, but will recover. Ansline was
killed instantly and Smith died a short
time later.
Corpse Was Sitting Upright.
Sylvia. D. Pickett, a Hutchinson
contractor who was working as fore
man of a gang building the school
hou -e in this city, was found by work
men sitting upright on the steps of
the school house, dead. He sat down
but a few minutes before to look over
some plans. The workmen who found
him called a doctor, although he had
evidently died instantly, supposedly
of heart failure. The father died in
the same manner at Langdon about
five years ago.
Assess Estate of Matt McKoen.
Frankfort. The state tax commis
sion has decided that the estate of
the late Matt McKeon, an old resident
of this ctiy, who died last summer, is
to be assessed in the sum of $1,771.

Lawrence. State Fish and Game
Warden Dyche announced the ap-pointUif-it.of
M. E. Carson as his dep

place.
BEWARE OF HESSIAN FLY.
Many Injurious Pests Burrow In
Ground for Winter.
Lawrence, "The next summer the
farmers of Kansas must be on the
general outlook for the chinch bug,
the Hessian fly and the San Jose
scale," Prof. P. A. Gleni of the ento
mology department of the University
of Kansas said. "There were scarce
ly any green bugs in Kansas last sum
mer and there were very few of the
eggs of the insects laid last fall.
Whatever hatched insects got over the
summer will be killed by the hard
winter. The university is expecting
much trouble with the chinch bug.
The entomology department ' already
!s planning for an active campaign,
and we have already fixed up pack-
age3 Df the bugs with the deadly fun-
gus inoculated on them.
"Winter weather has peculiar ef
fects on insects. The gren bug can
not stand a temperature below zero,
but the chinch bug hides in rubbish
and weathers the coldest winter. The
Hessian fly Is also unaffected by the
extreme cold, and the San Jose scale
is never killed by winter in this part
of the country.
"Many injurious insects get through
the winter by boring into the ground
and cold weather does not injure
them. Changes in the weather kills
more insects than does continued cold.
Changes of 30 degrees, if sudden, will
kill the ordinary insect. The weather
in Kansas has lately been such as to
kill the pests, but the covering of
snow has protected many of them.
"Adverse weather conditions are
the greatest check in the world on in
sects," said Professor Glenn. "The
effect of the weather varies. The hot
weather last summer and the scarcity
of rainfall were against the continued
propagation of the green bug. That
pest is now practically extinct in
Kansas. On the other hand, the
chinch bug gets along best in hot and
dry weather. The fungus will not do
its work on the chinch bug if there
is much humidity.
"Conditions last summer and this
winter as well, make us believe that
the chinch bug will cause much trou
ble next spring and summer. It will
probably be the worst pest to the
staple crops In Kansas next summer.1"
Chief Clerk Retires.
Leavenworth. C. K. Macey, chief
clerk at the federal prison here, has
forwarded his resignation to the de
partment of justice. He has been
chief clerk since the establishment
of the prison. Mr. Macey wishes to
retire and take up several irrigation
projects in which he is interested.
The office is under civil service and
it is probable that an examination will
be called to fill the vacancy.
To Have New Water Plant.
Arkansas City. At a meeting of tee
city council it was decided to call a
special election in February for tne
purpose of voting bonds in the sum
of $55,000 for the extension of the city
waterworks plant. Prospecting for an
additional water supply has been go
ing on for some time, and wells are
to be dug two miles north of the city,
where it is probable the plant will be
located.
Kansas Ships Some Mules.
Lyons. Two Lyons firms shipper
$18,000 worth of mules and horses
this week. Two cars were owned by
Jordan & McCabe and another car by
E. E. Logan. These animals were
bought throughout Rice, Barton, Rush
and Lane counties, and are about the
best lot of animals that has ever been
shipped from this point. They were
billed through to Alabama and will
probably be sold to the planters
throughout the south, and some of
them may possibly be exported to
bther countries, for there is no mules
on the market which will bring a larg
er price than does the Kansas mules.
Smallpox in Riley County.
Manhattan. A smallpox scare is
raging in the vicinity of Cleburne, in
the north part of Riley county. Nine
cases were reported to the county
health officer last week and notice
has been received of six more pa
tients. So far no deaths have result
ed and J. C. Montgonjfrry, county
health officer, says that the epidemic
does not promise to be very serious as
most of the cases are mild.
Telephone Company Sold.
Sylvia. As a result of the various
mass meetings the farmers have been
holding in the country, an organlza-
tion has been formed and the entire
telephone system has changed hands.
The officers of the new company are:
H. C. Yust, president; W. N. Hous
inger, vice president; W. Duer, treas
urer; J. T. Scott, secretary. These
officers are also directors, and the
following additional directors were
elected: Frank Martin, Jim Batter
ton, Charles Hbllenbeck, George An
kerholz and John Snuff.
Has Fine New School House.
Republic City. A new three-story
five-room school building has just
been completed .-at this place at a
cost of $12,000 and was occupied for
the first time this week. The building
ift one of the finest and most mod
ernly equipped in north central Kan
sas, consisting of two stories and a
basement.' The latter is to be uod
as a gymnasium. Besides the five
rooms, there is a recitation rocn,
cloak room and. a principal's office.
Plan for Market Day.
Osage City. The Commercial cTab
of this city is back of a movement to
hold a market day in this city on Wed
nesday, February 16. The public auc
tion will be held near the busi:;-ss
center of the city, and all goods of
fered by the farmers will be auction'
ed off to the highest bidder at no ex
pense to the farmers. Railroad fare?
will be refunded to all purchasers
from a distance, and it is also planned
to make the theaters free to all out
of-town customers on that day.
90,000 AMERICAN
SETTLERS GO
TO CANADA
THE YEAR 1909 HAS SHOWN AN
INCREASE OF OVER EIGHTY
PER CENT IN AMERICAN
SETTLEMENT. .
Recent advices from Canada, onr
aext door neighbour, the neighbourly
country across the boundary line,
are that upwards of ninety thousand
settlers from the United States went
into Western Canada during the past
year, most of them for the purpose of
taking up and settling upon the va
cant .lands, 160 acres of which are
given free by the government, and
lands adjoining held by railway and
land companies are selling at from
nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per
acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars
per acre were paid, the price would be
low, as the lands produce wonderfully,
and at these higher figures there is a
large Interest on the money and labor
invested. The ninety thousand set
tlers of last year, followed about sixty
thousand of the previous year, and for
several years the number has been
running into these large figures. There
must be a reason for it. It may be
found in the single phrase, "they are
satisfied." Nothing attracts people
more than the success of others, and
the news of this reaching other thou
sands, causes them to investigate. The
Investigation in this case is always
satisfactory. The splendid land of
Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio
and other States has risen to a high
value, and it is worth every dollar
asked for it. But there is not room
now for all on these lands. With the
ever increasing demand for grain,
there comes the ever increasing de
mand for land. Canada is the only
country on the continent in a position
to supply it. Land there that costs,
say fifteen dollars an acre, produces
on a reasonable calculation, 25 bushels
of wheat to the acre, or about $20.00.
The most liberal calculation as to cost
makes the cost to produce $7.50 per
acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per
acre. The $7.50 carries good wages
for the farmer, and all other conceiv
able contingencies. With conditions
like this, covering the entire area of
about 500,000 square miles, it is read
ily understood why 90,000 Americans
should follow the sixty thousand of
the previous year. Canadian Govern
ment Agencies at different points in
the Union are always ready to give in
formation regarding the free home
stead lands, ready to advise the set
tler as to the districts which would
suit him best.
