Section 2 might be objected to by the milk producer because there is no provision attached to it fining the creamery man for testing the milk below its proper merits. Section 5 and 6 was intended to drive the manufacturers of oleomargarineout of the state that the creamery men might more easily establish a monopoly of the butter making industry. Then, believing in the motto, "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," I voted against the bill. Then again, butter making and poultry raising is the farmer's wife's industry. One by one the single-handed laborers industries have been taken from them and they left to shiver and starve because they have been robbed of their only industry.

I feel justified in voting against the bill, and I believe I voice the sentiment of a majority of my constituency when I say it is an impropea measure to become a law in Kansas. I favor the enactment of stringent laws against the production and sale of unwholesome food, and I will leave the reader to say in his own judgment whether that was the intent of the framer of the bill in question. Silas Kutlkdok. The following is the bill referred to. AN ACT.

To prevent deception in the production and sale of milk, and in the manufacture and sale of butter and cheese, imitations, thereof, and substitutes thefor; and to prescribe penalties for violations thereof. lie it enacted by the Leg ilat trie of the State vf Kan mm. Section 1.

Sec.

2. Milk which contains not more than 87.5 per cent, of watery fluids, and not less than 12.5 per cent, of milk solids, and not less than 3 per cent, of butter fat, shall be deemed milk of standard quality.

He describes them as follows. Frank and Will are aged respectively 13 and 11 years of age. Both have light hair and gray eyes. They wore light overcoats and were dressed in light colored clothes when they left home and both wore boots. They started east and had a 22 caliber rifle.

Mr. Andrews thought for some time that they might have gone to relatives at Herington but has learned that they are not there. Any information concerning them will gladly be received at North Wichita. An Important DecUiou. The Supreme court has decided a case of considerable interest to members of fraternal insurance orders.

Mrs. Thos. A. Fawcett, who died some time ago, held a policy in the Modern Knights Fidelity League which had a local lodge here. About the time of her death the local lodge was suspended by the grand lodge for the reason that the treasurer had not remitted dues to the grand lodge.

Mrs. Fawcett had paid all her dues up to the time of her death but the grand lodge refused to pay her policy and her husband brought suit. The Supreme court decided that the member having paid dues to the local lodge had performed her part of the contract and the grand lodge was bound by the act of its agent, the local lodge, and should pay thepolicy.

Winfield Vs. The Wichita base ball team and the Kansas City Blues played two games of ball last week, one Friday afternoon and one Saturday afternoon. Both games might have been better and might have been some worse. There is better ball played out on the prairies Sunday afternoons by farm boys who have followed a corn cultivator or a lister all week. We wouldn't be surprised if, after the Wichita team has practiced up a little, they would receive a challenge, from Greenwich or Derbj' or some other near by village.

A. Shepherd of the Omondago Whisk Broom Works, New York, spent last week in Sterling, and made arrangements for purchasing a hundred tons of brush in addition to the large amount he has already taken from the district. In a talk with Mr. Shepherd we find him more than ever inclined to the project of locating a whisk broom factory somewhere in Central Kansas, to work in connection with their big establishment at Syracuse. The location is now the subject of consideration.

Sterling would, of course, seem to be exactly the place, as it is in the center of the dwarf broom corn district. But Mr. Shepherd finds some objections to this point, and is taking up the matter with other places. He was in Wichita Saturday and Monday, and examined some buildings there.
