No fanning section which lias once had good roads would ever go back to bad roads. High freight rates are not nearly as heavy a tax on the shippers of stock and other farm produce as bad roads are. Only a very rich county could afford thi> tremendous financial drain of bad roads. A good road is to a country district what a paved street is to the city property that ad joins it. It makes business for that neighborhood. A farmer In ing on a good road is n free man. lie is not de pendent on weather conditions. He is aide to sett his stock and grain and fruit at the best mar ket prices. The railroads have to serve the man who can get his stuff to a shipping point any day in the year. Money spent for good roads is as good nu investment for im proving the farm as is money put into stock sheds, grain cribs, fences, seeds or anything else that makes the farm pay.

The house of Representatives, with »ery little discussion, voted to sub mit to the voters of Kansas a con stitutional amendment providing com plete suffrage rights for women. It is now up to the Senators of Kansas to say whether or not the women of that great commonwealth shall have the right to vote. More than 1,000 people, mostly women were on the floor and in the galleries. Under New Management Mr. Washburn of Columbus has tak en charge of the Grand, which he purchased last week from Mr. Stan ford. Miss Helen Gagnon iB now ticket seller and Miss Hazle Ridley sings there each night. They are having fine patronage. FRUITS AS FOOD. Some food analyses which have been made by Ihe California, North Dakota and some other experiment stations show quite clearly that apples and other fruits have a food value that should commend them for use in the average family entirely apart from the fact of their line flavor and the relish with which they are eaten bj the average person. These experi ments show that fruits are fairly cheap sources of energy and arc to be com mended fm the ground of economy fur combination in proper quantities with cheap proleld foods to furnish a bal anced ration. It has been found that 10 cents' worth of fresh apples used as food furnish 1,4(57 units of energy to the body, 10 cents’ worth of porter house steak furnishes 444 units, while 10 cents’ worth of dried beans fur nish 892 units or calories. From this it will he seen that apples as well as other fruits are to be favored be cause of their food values, entirely apart front the fact that they are pret ty to look at, fine flavored and have a wholesome effi et on the digestive proc esses.

Group of steers taken from^a car • . load fattened on Mile s ranch, -’south ot Dawson, by Mr. Harbaugh. These steers brought the highest price ever paid in the Kansas City market up to that time. It is an illustration of what can be done in Richardson county, if right methods are followed SOME FAULTY STANDARDS. There i one serious criticism that can 1 •(' fairly lodged not only against stock shows ns usually hold, but ills* corn shows namely, that the stand ards of excellence adopted for Judging tend to encourage tin* development ot abnormal and artificial rather than practical and normal types attainable under every day animal husbandry and agricultural condilb ns. The stand ards sot lip in the fat stock show tend to the ruination for breeding purposes of all auimi! exhibited, while the prize steer i; ■ 11 y rep Hires from two *to four nur • * i vs to put him in sliapi to carry off the bine ribbon. Ordinarily more attention is dire ted in tbe i prizes award'd to a pampered, tin 1 natural individual than to the produc tion of Hie best bunch of steers pus slide under conditions which are prac- ! iicahle ill tiic average feed lot. In all! too 1'i’iiy corn shows tin* tendency is to encourage the growing of cars of corn of a fixed, artificial standard rath er than of a type which will produce the largest inimher of sound ears- that Is, the most marketable corn—per acre in a given latitude. Those interested in the welfare of the stock and grain business as handled by tbe average man Lave noted these and similar de fects in shows which have been held nnd ere hoping for some change hi standards widt h will offer greater in centive to the class of agriculturists most in need of encouragement and as sistance.
