HO Ss. Cattle Grow Fat on Russian Thistle. Garden City, Kas., Nov. 25.—The despised Russian thistle, which the Legislatures of Kansas and other plains States have outlawed, are a boom to the stockmen who own the great ranches of this State, Eastern Colorado and Western Nebraska. This plant, heretofore so great al menace to the farmers, is now utilized by the ranchmen, and scores of herds of cattle in this region are going through the winter on the Russian thistle as their only feed. Charles Norlin, a ranchman in Stanton County, near the Colorado line, is feeding Russian thistles to nearly 1,000 head of cattle, and he is enthusiastic over the results. He cut and stacked these thistles before the thorns or spines developed, and he declares the food is more nutritious for cattle than alfalfa. He expects next spring to send to People Butler, Missouri The Remarkable Success of.this bank is built on the friendship of its customers gained by earnest at- tention to their in- terests ’The Bank on Which You can Always Bank WANTED!

Throughout central Kansas the farmers are fighting the Russian thistle as a pest, and the county boards are appropriating money to stamp it out. Here in the short grass country stockmen are depending largely on the thistle for rough feed through the winter. ‘J have been feeding it for ten years, and wouldn’t know how to get \ through the winter without the thistle crop for feed,’’ was a statement made to-day by John Kimer, a .ranchman, residing near Garden City.

Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 23.—The Republican State Committee appar- ently has inaugurated a begging en- terprise in the varioys counties of the State to obtain funds for the defense in the contest proceedings pending in | the Supreme Court, involving the} title to two seats on the Supreme | Court bench and the office of State Superintendent of Public Schools. The expense of the contest so far has been paid largely by the Demo- crats in their efforts to uncover frauds in the City of St. Louis. Lebanon recently, and after several speakers had told of the necessity for more money to defend the Republi- cans holding the contested offices, the hat was passed, and some prom- ises and not much money obtained. In other localities meetings were not deemed necessary, but individuals were sent to solicit money. The Republicans appear suddenly to have become uneasy} about these contests, although they tried to ridi- cule them out of court when they were instituted. The inference is threatens to expose causes for the large mojority in the City of St. Louis at the last election, when the Repub- other section of the State. It was asserted by Republican lead- ers when the contests were instituted that they never would be pressed. These predictions ceased more than cans began efforts to bring about de- lay and to prevent the Democrats ob- taining evidence on which to establish their charges. : The Democrats have charged that fradulent votes were cast in the City of St. Louis, and obtained the first registration lists.

Columbia, Mo., Nov. 25.—Colum- bia did its best. The crowd came, } but not the old-time Thanksgiving ' Day crowd, saw the game and left. | There is only praise for the Tigers’ | hospitality. Butin the very nature of things, the game played here lost all its old-time attraction. The tra- ditions that have been twenty years in the moulding were lost in a day. The crowd which witnessed the strug- gle numbered ten thousand less than the one which gathered at the Gordon & Koppel field last Thanksgiving. Financially the game was a success in this way, the universities took in as much as was needed. While the receipts were many thousands less than previously there is still a nice margin to divide, and the university authorities say that the financial end is not an object.
