Every day they get a little better. Tuesday evening the rain began to fall and up to noon yesterday 1.09 inches had fallen. This rain fell slowly so thatall of it was absorbed by the ground where it fell and thus will all be utilized and none wasted, At this writing, Wednesday noon, it is still cloudy with strong appearances of more rain. This is the third week with a good rain each week so the ground must be getting in pretty fair cou-dition for seeding, i Some wheat has been sown but Sw-r om now on we will see the wheat go in pretty fast DeLaval Separators.

John F. North, Treasurer. American Royal Oct. 7-1 1 1 3. The Fifteenth American Royal Live Stock and Horse show, at the Kansas City stock yards October 7-11, 1913, will again show the world the largest and finest aggregation of breeding and feeding, beef cattle, swine, sheep, draft horses and mules, and poultry, that the year's fairs have produced.

For the prize-winners of these fairs will be gathered at Kansas City, to compete for the highest places in the breeds, the highest honors in live stock. Entries made so far are already proof that the Royal will be larger than ever in haps, is one of the most important lessons any child can learn. A child who is brought up with slack ideas regarding promptness will as a rule be slack in that respect throughout life. It not only breeds slovenness in regard to time but it breeds slovenness in other respects. If a girl, she will always be behind with her house-keeping.

Dinner will never be ready on time, the beds will not be made until bedtime, the children's clothes will not be washed and mended in time for school, the victuals will be burned or allowed to boil over on the stove, her hair will not be combed till after the company arrive, and if she should receive an invitation to a wedding, the ceremony would be over and the interested parties would be off on their honey moon trip before she got there. If this delinquent should be a boy he will leave his hay down in the field till it gets wet whether it be a wet time or not The hole in the fence will not be fixed till the cows have broken out and killed themselves in the cane or alfalfa. His harness and farm tools will never be repaired nor his plows scoured till he should be out in the field using them. He will not get in to his meals till the victuals are cold, he will not think of kindling and fuel till the morning, he wakes up to find at raining or snowing. He will borrow his neighbors tools and neglect to bring them home till the neighbor needs them, comes after them -and finds rusty or broken.

lie will have a large family of the girls will chew gum in church and the boys will be late "to" school. There, are some exceptions to the rule. I wish there were more. patrons, let us banish tardiness from the school. Build up a pride in having no absent or tardy marks on the record.

We hax a great deal of sympathy for those who live a long way from sehool and have lots of work to do, but very often the tardy marks come to those who have little or nothing to do and live within rifllc shot of the school house. Miss Gretfa Ikenberry who had gone to Colorado with the intentions tost for some lime returned home last week and is now enroled in the High School. R. M. Sutclifr.

Card of Thanks We wish to extend our heart felt thanks to the many kind friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the death and burial of our departed husband and father. Mrs, Elizabeth DcSantos And children. WORK OUT A PLAN FOR SEED WREAT County commissioners of twelve counties in western Kansas, where help from outside is needed to purchase seed wheat, have been asked to meet an To-peka tomorrow. The meeting has been called for 3 o'clock at the Commercial club rooms. County officials from the following counties have been asked to attend the meeting, when the details handling the contribution and! seed wheat will be worked out; Trego, Logan, Wallace, Sherman' Thomas, Sheridan Graham, Ness, Lane, Gove, Scott and Wichita.

A campaign a-'amg the lines conducted by J. Butler, coun-My commisssoner of Gove county, 'probably will beauapped out Mr, Butler apparently got tired of waiting for the seed wheat club to get action, for he started out on his own hook last week, secured 3 car loads of seed wheat for Gove eouoty from the merchants of Salina, and arranged for the meeting at To-peka yesterday noon at the Com-niercil club. Topeka Capital. SCHOOL NOTES. To the parents.

One of the surest signs of a strong progressive school is the lack of absent and tardy marks on the record. When we find a school with little or no absent or tardiness it means this to us; the patrons of that 6chool have a local pride in their schools. They are not making the schooling of their children a secondary matter. They are not simp-'vy sending their children to school when they have nothing else to do, but they are raising education to a place of primary importance, children as a rule, will make an effort to get to school on time but some will not as they have not been taught promptness at home, which per- total enteries, and that the very highest type of animals in each breed will be there. The light harness and saddle horse of the Royal, four nights October 7-10, will be up to the Royal Standard which is New York and London standard, with all four nights fillled with interesting events and amusing special features.

OBITUARY. Mahala J. Boling was born in Lee County, Virginia, October 26, 1836, and died at her home in Morland, Sept. 17, 1913 at the age of 76 years, 10 months and 21 days. In her early she went from Virginia to Ohio, from where the Boling family migrated overland to Nodaway county, Mo.

This was long before there were any railroads in the Mississippi valley and the only modes of travel were by steamboet along the rivers or by wagon overland. In Nodaway county, she was united in marriage to John D. Trosper, on the 11th day of October 1857, soon afterwards removitfg to Marshall county, Kansas, where she made her home until in the spring of 1886 when the family came to Graham county. Her days were mostly spent as a pioneer, first in one section of the country then in another. Mrs.

Trosper was the mother of eleven children, six sons and five daughters, all of whom were present at her funeral except two daughters and one son from whom she was separated by their death years ago. She leaves an aged husband, five sons, John T. and Oliver live in Morland, Van who farms near there, Edward who-is a conductor on the Rock Island railroad out of Dalhart, Texas, and Bert who until recently in the employ of the U. P. at Dalhart: Three daughters, Mrs.

Belle Holmes of Morland, Mrs. Dora Holmes of Edmond, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Dessie Wands of Phill-ipsburg, Kansas, twenty-five grand children and nine great grand children besides a large number of relatives and friends to mourn her death. Mrs. Trosper was faithful wife' an indulgent mother, a sympathetic friend, and a beloved neighbor.

Allho she has passed three score and ten years, in this, life, her admonition and counsel will be sadly missed among her relatives and acquaintances. Rev. Brown, of the Hill City, Presbyterian church, preached a short sermon at the residence, after which a long procession of relatives and friends followed the remains to their last resting, place in the Morland cemetery. No greater respect and esteem-could be shown a mother by her sons, than was in this case, when the five sons and one son-in-law, Philip Holmes, performed the last sad tribute by bcinjr the bearers of the pall to the grave. -Written for the Advocate by P.

On Earl Akers' recent announcement that he proposed to stay with the old Republican organization; which he made in his paper at Stafford a week or so ago. White took occasion to serve notice that the state treasurer's place was with the Bull Moosers. Akcrs' contention is that the Republican party in Kansas is a progressive party, and that it is up to all patriots to cling to the old name and make it represent the things progressive people stand for..
