Bulgaria is out. And now, says Homer Hoch, "Turkey's at the bat, Austria on deck and Kaiser Billin the hole!" A country woman was howling the Atchison Globe says, the other day because gingham is fifty and sixty cents a yard. "It used to be nine and twelve cents," she said. "Yes," replied a town woman, "and squashes used to be ten and five cents apiece.

I paid thirty-five cents for one this morning." The Fort Scott Tribune says in Eastern Kansas the problem of the average town is to keep its streets up, and in Central and Western Kansas the problem is to keep them down. "Don't get in front of that motor car," a Great Bend woman warned her companion the other day. "The driver doesn't look as though he would be good for the damages." It looks to the Madison News as though the sultan drove his Turks to the wrong market. "Dale Jones" was fined $5 in police court yesterday morning on a charge of drunkenness. "Dale" was arrested Tuesday by Patrolman Carl Norbey; when taken to the station he gave the name of the Kansas City character wanted by the federal Times.

"Kansas should raise more chickens and fewer worthless dogs," the Beloit Gazette believes, a and the Gazette also adds its opinion that "worthless dogs" includes most dogs. The woman writer on the Newton Kansan wrote this one: "No women are allowed in the trenches, but the Y. M. C. A.

is trying to make up for the deficiency by installing talking machines in every hut." Ham Lynn "rose" the only peaches in the country. He has had a worth of peach cobbler from his tree in Wetmore. -Sabetha Herald. Apartment and house renters in Wichita have formed a "Tenants' Protective League" for the purpose of protecting themselves against fiteering landlords. They have adopted resolutions reaffirming the Declaration of Independence and condemning autocracy, and have engaged lawyers to present their grievances before government authorities and to handle such test cases as may arise in the prosecution of the league's policies.

The Emporia Gazette paragrapher's observation is that it doesn't take much hair to flavor a pound of butter.

The county commissioners released Fred Miller from the county jail last Friday where he had been for the past sixteen months. Miller robbed his traveling companion at a hotel in this city of more than $100 and after a hard chase was captured at Washington, Kansas.

At that time he ws 'considered a pretty desperate character but sixteen months in the Cloud county jail seemed to tame him down considerable.

Ward, of Springfield, Mo. The price was $175 per acre.
