W. fARWLU Licensed embalmer and Funeral Director McCracken, Kansas In Lousiana thirty-six sugar factories are in the hands of receivers and twelve are in the hands of sheriffs because of the Democratic tariff legislation. Eleven of the beet sugar factories, operatiug in the United States in 1913, closed their doors and made no contracts with farmers for sugar beets to be grown in 19x4, on account of the Democratic free trade policy.

The The European war granted temporary life to the beet sugar industry, but if the Democratic free sugar schedule goes into effect, as planned by the administration, in 1916, the beet sugar industry of this country will pass out of existence when the European war ends. Hays Free Press: The wage Oood Citizens Pass Away. Emeline Barlow was born April 13, 1832 at Portageville, N. and died at Ransom, Kansas, February 11, 1915. On September 28, 1852, she was united in marriage to Henry T.

Leighton. Sweet and tender memories grace the life ol this "Mother in Israel," and upon the never-failing promises ef the sacred Bible she built her unfaltering hope of the brighter home beyond. She was a faithful member of the Church of Christ from which church the funeral service was conducted on Sunday morning by the Rev. Gall of Wichita, who spoke words of great consolation from the text: "And I heard a voice from Heaven saying, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. From henceforth yea sayeth the Spirit that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." The splendid floral offering was the gift of her many friends, and the service throughout was beautiful and impressive.

Henry Tibbitt Leighton was born April 1, 1830 at Portvale, N. and died at Ransom, Kansas, February 15, 1915. On September 28, 1852, he was united in marriage to Emeline Barlow. In 1854 he removed to Logan, Ohio, where for four years he was foreman of Public Works. In 1858, with his family, he removed to Ross county, Ohio, calm and quiet and he looked with a firm, steady gaze to the home beyond.

Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Gall of the Church of Christ on Tuesday afternoon. Xov-ing hands covered the casket with flowers and draped it with the patriotic colors of the country he served. Five children were born to Mr. and Mrs.

Leighton, one son and four daughters. Two daughters died in infancy. The surviving children are Franklin of British Columbia, Mrs. John Sunley of Ransom, and Mrs. II.

S. Haag of Corning, California. The memory of 'Mr. and Mrs. Leighton will not soon perish from the hearts of fheir friends.

It seems providential that two persons who have spent the morning, noonday and evening of life so pleasantly together should be 1 called upon to lay down their earthly burden and enter the eter nal life a few days apart. There will be no lonliness, no grief for either of them, for they are yet together. Hoisington Dispatch: It is rumored that a new train, or trails, will be put on the Missouri Pacific soon to take care of the World's Fair traffic, but no official word has been received to that effect here yet. Alma Enterprise: It looks funny to see some of the big daily papers, notably the Kansas City Star, boosting for President Wilson on one page and begging for money to run the free soup houses on the next. The war is now six months old and 5,000,000 soldiers are in the lists of killed, wounded and missing.

About seven billion dollars is the cost. Can any one tell us what the gain is? If you are ignorant, don't be discouraged. You will soon meet a man who knows it all and his knowledge is given freely. Careful selection of -setting eggs pays well. Leave out all eggs that are too large, too small, misshapen, or abnormal in any way.

Thev Resoluted. The following resolutions were passed by a unanimous vote at the meeting of the State Editorial Association, assembled in Topeka on January 30: Whereas, an unfair attempt is be-ing made to extend the scope of the State Printing Plant beyond its legitimate field, to the detriment of the publishing and printing business of the state; and. Whereas, it is no more the province of the state to interfere with the legitimate printing and publishing business than it is for it to engage in the grocery, dry goods, farming banking or other business; and, Whereas, Kansas is amply equipped with private plants in which a great amount of capital is invested, furnishing employment to labor in every town within its borders. Be it resolved that we, the Kansas State Editorial Association, hereby protest against attempt to put the State in unfair competition with the printers and publishers of Kansas, and that we further state that we believe that such action is against public policy, in that it is using the money of the taxpayers to increase the number of state employes, add to the burden of the taxpayer, cripple plants already es tablished, and throw men and women out of employment; and in view of the further fact that the cost of state printing has never been fairly determined, we would request the legislature of the State of Kansas to order a thorough and impartial investigaion by uninter-ested printing cost experts, of the cost of all state printing and the prices paid by the state for all printing supplies and equipment, before any further steps are taken to place the state in competition with the printing industry, which ranks sixth in importance in the business of the United States; and, Resolved, that the members of he State Editorial Association pledge their opposition to any U. S.

Senator or Representative in Congress who will not pledge himself to vote against the practice of the Government printing individual return cards on stamped envelopes. The school boards of Western Kansas are sending in their notices of vacancies and calls for teachers to the Fort Hays Kansas State Normal School much earlier than usual this year and in larger numbers ano in many cases at higher salaries. This is because Western Kansas is beginning to demand moie efficiently trained teacheis. The Normal has the largest class of teachers of experience in its history and a great many who are qualified will not quit school until the end of the summer term. The commun-ity leadership idea of President W.

A. Lewis of the normal has made the teachers of Western Kansas better able to minister to the needs of their districts in this half of the state. A man considers the cost of the house or apartment he is about to rent. A woman merely looks to see if the wall.paper is satisfactory. The fellow who loafs on the job while the boss is away never will do any bossing himself.

earner is the most beneficial man in society. He is made to bear the burdens of civilization. He worka longer hours, receives a less wage, is made to feel the change of the market quicker, gets into the breadline sooner, fights the nation's battles harder, pays more taxesr more is hoped of him, expected ef him, and we give to him less support and approbation than any other citizen. It is about time we reared a monn-ment to thia the most worthy member of our social life. Most of the sobs we hear are founded on selfishness.

Men are continually trying to cash their Seeding Oats. Farmers usually give little attention to seedbed preparation for oats. When oats follows corn in rotation, the corn stalks are usually disked over in the spring and the oats sown broadcast or drilled. There are some farmers, however, who plow their land in the fall, leaving it rough during the winter and thus putting it in better condition to absorb moisture during the winter and early spring. Others, not having time to plow in the fall, plow their ground in the spring before seeding.

Experiments carried on by the agronomy department of the State Agricultujal College show that so far as yield is concerned, spring disking is practically as good as either spring or fall plowing. Plowing, however, has the advantage of turning under all stubble and trash. In the case of fall plowing, moreover, the ground dries faster in the spring and seeding, therefore, may be done This is sometimes highly important, since a profitable yield of oats often depends on getting them sown so early as to make them mature in time to escape hot winds, and drouth. In some seasons, where ground is not fall-plowed, it is necessary to plow or disk the ground in the spring When it is entirely too wet, which may injure it for several years. If, on the other hand, the plowing or disking is not done when the ground is too wet, it will be necessary to delay seeding until there is practically no chance of getting a good crop.

It appears from results secured up to the present time that where plowing for any reason cannot be done in the fall, disking is practically as good and sometimes better than spring plowing. In western Kansas it s'eems even better in or-dinary seasons than fall plowing. This is probably due to the fact that oats require a compact seed bed, and when ground is plowed in the spring, it does not have time to become thoroughly settled before the crop is sown. It would seem desirable, when plowing in the spring for oats, either to plow rather shallow or else to disk the land thoroughly before seeding. LaCrosse Republican: At the directors meeting of the Farmers' Telephone Company held out at Hillsdale Monday the Board voted to put in a toll line between LaCrosse and McCracken.

This toll line will greatly add to the service of the company. Word on the new line will commence at once.

They will look at you where he engaged in farming until 1863, when he enlisted in Company 129th Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, under Captain James M.

Mercer, to serve for a term of six months. He was honorably discharged March 1864, having served his country well during the term of his enlistment. In the spring of 1868 he settled near Marshall, where he again engaged in farming. In 1874 he came to McPherson county, Kansas, thence to Ness county in 1886 where he had lived until his death last Monday morning. Mr.
