THE LADY OF THE LAKE When i LeggerVisited Iowa Fair JEWS OF COLONY IOLA DAILY REGISTER St FEEDING WHEAT TO STOCK. The fact tha for the first time in nearly ever the price of wheat on the market is lower than that of corn, has led experts in the handling of live stock 1 to suggest that wheat be substituted for com in Kansas this winter. The El Dorado Times has been looking the matter up and finds that authorities already have experimented with wheat as a stock food and have published bulletins on the subject. r- Dr. McCampbell, of the State Agricultural College, explains that wheat is more satisfactory as a feed for hogs than it Is for any other class of livestock.

-Hogs like wheat better than other animals do; It does not cause digestive or other disturbances hi hogs, and hogs may be fed all the wheat they will eat. Wheat must be -ground for hogs, preferably coarse: and when ground, a pound of wheat Is worth as much ftr slightly more than a pound of unground corn, as hog feed. Wheat should be ground, or rolled, if used as a horse feed. However. It cannot be fed: in Unlimited amounts to horses.

It may be fed unground to It must be ground for beef cattle, and while it has the same nutritive value as for other animals, cattle do not like the ground wheat as well, will eat less of It and will not gain as rapidly as on Corn. Agricultural authorities are in full accord in this matter. In Michigan, ah investigation proved that at present prices corn is worth more per hundredweight than wheat, and bran middlings and other -mill feeds are much higher per ton than the cost of getting a ton of wheat ground for use on the farm. Michigan Is encouraging the farmer to make use of wheat for feeding rathef than sell it at the present low prices. A number of experiments by the University Of Nebraska proved that wheat as a feed for hogs returned from 100 to 105 per cent as much as corn.

Animal husbandryraen at the University of Illinois say that cheap wheat cqn be fed with profit to stock. Any farmer who wants to learn all about feeding wheat to fattening hogs should send to E. A. of Missouri at Columbia, for Bulletin 136. It was first published in 1915 and was reprinted in 1923.

ZSadbon Hume iH ForuM A Chapter of History To the Editor: Olathe, Kansas, the county seat of Johnson county, will have an Old Settlers Reunion next Saturday, September 6, 1930. In an. early day the people that came to Kansas from the eastern states had a mania of locating town sites, and in the spring of 1857 one Dr. Barton came Out to Kansas and viewed the site of Olathe.

With his party was a Shawnee Indian named pave Dougherty who when he saw the proposed site of the town, he exclaimed, O-la-the which was Shawnee for beautiful. Dr. Barton and Charles A. Osgood built the first house in partnership, a building 12x14 feet and made out of rough native lumber. As soon as the house was completed Dr.

John W. Scott (the father of C. F. Scott) bought out Dr. Bartons interest in the town-site and also his half of the new house, so Dr.

Scott was a half owner In the first house built in Olathe In the early summer of 1857. That fall Dr. Scott returned to Indiana for his family and in the spring of 1858 brought them out to Olathe, but owing to the scenes of violence, he left Olathe In June 1858 and settled near Carlyle In Allen county, Kahsas, where he lived the next 16 years and C. F. Scott was born on that claim.

I think C. F. Scott ought to go to the Olathe reunion and tell what he knows about it. J. CLARENCE NORTON Moran, Kansas.

Long years ago we talked with a man who had been a member of a vigilance committee whjch, in a i far western town, had executed a murderer. The killer was hardly twenty years old. Just a tough kid," who fell In with a gang of gamblers and cattle rustlers.

There was no tree on the townsite high enough to serve as a gallows, so the vigilantes merely went to the one-room, one story log Jail where he was confined, put the noose around his neck, ran the rope through an iron ring in the rafters, so that when the executioners pulled on it the victim would be swung a foot or two from the floor. In order to make the job as easy as possible they had the prisoner stand on a chair while the noose was being adjusted. When all was ready they asked him if he had anything to say. Nothing, Adios. he kicked the chair out from under him and strangled slowly to death.

In Sing Sing a few days ago three young men were executed in the electric chair. The first one, as he was brought into the death chamber, looked around at the official attendants and remarked I will see you all In hell some day. Then shouted. Let It go! The second to go to the chair said to the executioner, What are you so nervous about' there, brother. Take it easy." To the spectators he said: You all come to see this.

You wanted blood land the current flashed. As the third approached the chair he grinned and said, Well, well, well, well. As the metal cap was adjusted he said, This is an exploring trip to me. Lets go. From all of which and innumerable other similar stories we make two deductions.

One is that a man who deliberately becomes a killer, particularly after he has committed two or more murders, comes to regard his own life as Indifferently as he does the lives of other men. The other' is that the spirit of man Is the most indomitable created thing. Doubtless the second deduction applies in a iar greater number of cases than the first. Remembering the instinctive fear of dath which exists In every human being one would think that a criminal condemned to the chair would resist to the last atom of strength and would have to be carried to It by main force, or that he would collapse and become helpless from very terror. But the great majority of convicts walk with a firm step and with an appearance of perfect calm to their death.

By sheer force of the spirit these men compel their nerves and muscles to obedience at a moment when in the natural order of things the one should be shattered and the other impotent. Oklahoma would seem to have carried its Sunday observance Ideas clear past the spirit of the fourth Commandment in trying to conform to its letter. The Oklahoma criminal court of appeals recently Set aside a verdict of guilty in the case of a father and son convicted of violating the Volstead law on the score that the raid was made and the warrant served on Sunday. The decision even went so far as to say that no legal process could served oh Sunday, a judgment of which Oklahoma criminals will doubtless take due notice.

When a business concern fully realizes the value of advertising, nothing will retard its growth. -Quality, continuously advertised, will supply the business needed by any concern.

The good will of the public is the valuable asset any business can have. Continuous advertising Is a builder of good will. Business concerns that have a desire to give their customers satisfaction and to meet their every requirement prove that fact by continuous advertising. Advertising through the printed page is the most pleasing sales service that can be given the public. Advertising pays in good will and in profits.

Coffeyville Journal: The writer has visited prcibably iwenty Kansas counties and half as many in Oklahoma since the drouth was broken.

We find Allen county as good as the average. If not better. Allen county had fairly good small grain yields, has average hay and forage crops and pastures are good. In the center of Allen county is located a milk condensery, which Judging from receipts at the Cof-feyvllle milk plant, is probably paying farmers an average of about $1,200 or $1,500 per day for milk. Our distance guess is that no aid shall have to be brought Into Allen county this winter! Texas Democrats seem at last to have recovered a degree of sanity and self-respect, the run-off primary showing Ma Ferguson-defeated as candidate for Governor by a majority Of something like a hundred thousand votes.

be sure Mrs. Ferguson got more than 300,000 votes, and that is not at all to the credit of the State. But there are a lot of people in Texas and perhaps it is reasonable to expect that a good many of them should be reached demagogic appeals the Fergusons made. This does not alter the fact, however, that the result of the pripiary is a good riddance of bad rubbish. Another Alexander Hamilton has come into American politics.

I From Other Papers I HUMAN GREED Coffeyville Journal: We read in Editor Publisher that the Indianapolis Times has recently concluded a successful fight on starvation wages paid employes by some of the contracting firms building Indiana highways. The times found that hand men were paid 20 cents an hour and that some men carried on the payroll as water boys were being paid 15 cents an hour! It did not require long to have the matter corrected, A few editorial blasts did the work. For as soon as the Indiana highway commission heard of the beggarly wages paid by men they favored with contracts, they issued a mandatory order that a minimum of 40 cents an hour be paid or contracts would be cancelled and the offending, firms put on a black list to receive no more highway work.

Such greed as is manifest by firms working men who are heads of fainilies atj wages which will scarcely pay board of the laborers to say nothing of providing for their families and making provision against unemployment is false economy of a most vicious sort. Enough such beggarly wages and the great state of Indiana would have no need for concrete highways. The populace would be so impoverished that motor cars would become luxuries indeed and modes of living would sink back to post-Civll war days. Sometimes the greed of the human animal Is such as to make the fcnimal which when slaughtered is Converted Into pork, seem rather unselfish in comparison. New York The Rev.

WHERES.

YOUR LOGIC? The 'Oskaloosa Independent Is crying, out loud because the party council did not endorse the Reed administration. Listen to this.1 The slap in the face of half the party who supported Reed was the refusal to endorse -the administration, which is one. of outstanding accomplishment, and the main features of which are embodied in the two platforms. The Democrats praise the Reed administration but the 'Republican faction in control ignores it. This is without precedent and glaringly shows the hatred and spitefulness of the fight on Reed.

What has beconie of the Independents Acuity of logic? Cant it see that, having contested the re-nc-mination of Reed upon the score that his administration had not been satisfactory, and having persuaded a majority of the Republicans who went to the primaries to agree with them, it would have been ridiculous for the party council to have adopted resolutions declaring that the Republican party endorsed that administration? If you think the administration was all right why didnt you renominate Reed? That would have been the question everybody would have asked. doubtless including the Oskaloosa Independent, and there could have been no answer. There must be some consistency even In politics. As to the Democratic praise of the Reed administration, is the Independent so innocent as to imagine that praise would have appeared Irj the Democratic platform If Reed had been nominated The editor of the Register- has received a personal invitation from the president of the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome to attend a meeting which will held there October 15 to celebra the 25th anniversary of the founding of that organization, such celebration to be specially a memorial to David Lubin, the great American citizen to whose 'vision and efforts the Institute owes its existence. Unfortunately no round trip ticket was enclosed with the invitation and thus again Kansas and the United States of, America will lack adequate representation at an in-' teresting and important event because of the strange oversight on the part of some man of wealth in failing to endow the editor Of this paper.
