Alva Morton Reitzel is not new on the Lyceum platform. He has been before the public for years, first as a successful minister and then as a lecturer. His lectures are uplifting, full of good sound facts and, as the Register at Oxford, Kan., says, “He related just enough good stories to spice the lecture." The Walnut (Kan.)

Mrs. Bebel’s Second Funeral

Mr. Bebel was a citizen of German descent, exemplary life and generous endowment with this world’s goods. The credit for the latter fact belonged largely to his patient and industrious wife, who was one of those hard-working, economical daughters of the Fatherland that always bring affluence to the partners that share their lots in life. But nothing in this world is perfect, and this thrifty housewife conspicuously lacked the gift of physical beauty. Her social qualities, also, dwarfed by thirty years of unremitting toil, were -decidedly below par. Her ornamental accomplishments were absolutely nil. Only lately it had ooourred to Mr. Bebel that in the respects mentioned his better half was not all that she might have been. For he had just arrived at that stage in his career when wealth begins to produce comparative luxury, and the rudimentary artistic longings begin to asert themselves. Now, the artlstio, as somebody has well remarked, is essentially the immoral And so from this time on the prosperous German began to reflect upon how much better Katharine Heine, a neighboring miss of 18, would adorn the new home and match the mahogany piano and new upholstered furniture. Katharine played ragtime and the “Watch on the Rhine,” embroidered sofa pillows, and even dipped at times into literature. To Mr. Bebel her conversation seemed fairly to scintillate with the brightest gems of thought Now, in the course of time, it came to pass that Mrs. Bebel fell violently 11L It would be doing her husband an injustloe to say that he was glad of this, or that he did not lavish upon his wife every attention that was not too extravagantly expensive. Neither should Katharine be suspected of gladness at this trying Juncture, although she certainly managed to retain her ordinary cheerfulness. Bhe called still more frequently at the Babel home, waited on Mrs. Bebel assiduously, and saw that her husband’s meals were never wanting. Mrs. Bebel’s tired spirit seemed to leave the body very suddenly on the seventh day of her illness, about 6 in the morning. She had just called her husband to her, and whispered feebly in his ear as he bent over hen- " Don’t forget, Qua, that the white ban in the fisr oonsar of tea wmdK

nouse natcnes enmany.~ Poor Mrs. Bebel. She never forgot those chickens, even when her soul was hovering on the confines of the undiscovered country. Mr. Bebel wept bitterly when those present announced that the end had come. Katharine, as being, perhaps, the closest friend of the family, led him out into the parlor, and did not refuse to stay with him for hours that day, trying to comfort him. “What a kind heart the girl has,” though Mr. Bebel to himself. The fundral was largely attended. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Bebel had any tear relatives, and so it was that Catharine and her mother, as being, the closest friends and neighbor* sat in the first carriage with the bo> reaved husband. He looked sad, bat resigned, and took an interest in what was going on so far as to observe to Mrs. Heine that .Katharine looked well in black. Now, a remarkable thing happened, just as the plaoe of interment was reached. The pallbearers were mal- 1 adroit enough to allow their burden : to come sharply into collision with a post which stood close beside the open grave. This sinister event was followed by a groan proceeding from the interior of the coffin, which was plainly heard by many persons. It, Is impossible to describe the scene of wild excitement which followed. The affrighted pallbearers dropped the coffin. It fell to the ground with a genuine dull sickening thud, and more groans were heard to issue from it. .Women fainted, men fled and panic reigned throughout the entire assemblage. The undertaker, however, summoned up enough courage to get the lid off the coffin, and a doctor who was present promptly administered restorativ.es which gave Mrs. Bebel strength sufflcient to enable her to escape from her ghastly prison. However, Miss Heine promptly re. sumed her visits to the once-bereaved home, and these seemed all the more necessary, since poor Mrs. Bebel never again completely recovered her health. She fell still more violently ill a couple of months later, and on the third day she did die, sure enough. There could be no reasonable doubt about it this time, for three doctors in solemn oonsultatlon so declared. The summoning of three doctors was only an extra precaution on Mr. Babel’s part, for he was always a very osreful man. Now, Mr. Bebel married Katharine Heine three months after this second funeral.

MARKETING WORLD'S GREATEST PROBLEM

Wt ARE LONG 6n PRODUCTION, SHORT ON DISTRIBUTION. By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers’ Union. The economic distribution of farm products is today the world’s greatest problem and the war, while it has brought Its hardships, has clearly emphasized the importance of distribution as a factor in American agriculture and promises to give the farmers tbe” co-operation of the government and the business men the solution of their marketing problem. This result will in. a measure, compensate us for our war losses, for the business interests and government have been in the main assisting almost exclusively on the production side of agriculture While the department of agriculture has been dumping tons of literature on the farmer telling him flow to produce, the farmer has been dumping tons of products in the nation’s garbage can for want of a market. The World Will Never Starve. At no time since Adam and Eve were driven from the Garden of Eden have the inhabitants of this world suffered from lack of production, but some people have gone hungry from the day of creation to this good hour for the lack of proper distribution. Blight variations in production have forced a change in diet and one locality has felt the pinch of want while another surfeited, but the world as a whole ha* ever been a land of plenty. We now have less than one-tenth of the tillable land of the earth’s surface under cultivation, and we not only have this surplus area to draw on but it is safe to estimate that in case of dire necessity one-half the earth’s population could at the present time knock their living out of the trees of the forest, gather it from wild vines and draw it from streams. No one should become alarmed; the world will never starve. The consumer has always feared that the producer would not supply him and hi# (right has found expression on the statute books of our states and nations and the farmer has bet>n urged to produce recklessly and without reference tp a market, and regardless of the demands of the consumer. Back to the Boii. The city people have he" rr ztzz

eaca oaer to move oacx to tne rarm, but very few of them have moved. We«welcome our city cousins back to the soil and this earth’s surface contains 16,092,160,000 Idle acres of tillable land where they can make a living by tickling the earth with a forked stick, but we do not need them so far as increasing production is concerned; we now have all the producers we can use The city man has very erroneous ideas of agricultural conditions. The commonly accepted theory that we are short on production is all wrong. Our annual Increase in production far exceeds that of our Increase in population. The Worid as a Farm. Taking the world aa one big farm, we find two billion acres of land in cultivation Of this amount there is approximately 750.000,000 acres on the western and 1.260,000.000 acres on the eastern hemisphere, in cultivation. This estimate, of course, does not Include grazing lamds. forests, etc., where large quantities of meat are produced. The world’s ananal crop approximates fifteen btltion bushels of cereals, ' thirteen billion pounds of fibre ! and sixty-five million tons of meat 1 The average annual world crop for the past five years, compared with the previous five years, is as follows: Past Hlalf Previous Half Crops— Decaiie. Decade. Corn (Bu.) 3,934,374.000 3,403,655,000 Wheat (Bu.) 3,522*769,000 3,257,526,000 Oats (Bu.) 4,120)017,000 3.508.315,000 Cotton (Bales), 19*863,800 17,541,200 The world, shows an average Increase In cefreal production of 13 per cent during the past decade, compared with the previous five years, while the world’s population shows an increase of only three per cent. The gain in production far exceeds that of our increase in population, and It is safe to estimate that the fanner can easily Increase production 25 per cent if, a remunerative market can be found for the products. In textile fibres the world stows an Increase during the,;past half decade in production of 15, per cent Against a population increase of thr °e per cents ’ The people of thds nation should address tfnemselves to the subject of Improved) facilities f«r distribution.

(Overproduction and* -.crop mortgage force the farmers In Ur ruinous competition with each other. The remedy, lies in organization and kin cooper* Won in marketing. \ _ Typewriter ribbons for all makes of machines for sale at The Republican. office. Order your rubber stamp today
