Cooler of Kanaa very prompt ly laya claim to everything good for hlflr state and denlea the existence of anything bad within her borders. Gov. Morehead of Nebraska simply rolnta to government statistics as his answer and says "there's my answer." , For so many years, it is said, Kan sas flaunted her virtues In the face of other states that her claims to a place In the sun gradually came to be con ceded. "Big I and Little You" was the position taken by Kansas toward her neighbors." It Is declared. "If It's good. Kantian has it; if It's bad, It s not in Kansas'' washier slogan. The neigh bors have finally grown tired of thla position end Nebraska, for one, does ' not Intend 4o stand It any longer. As to Illiteracy. Oov. Capper said "Kansas Is one of thai two states in the union having tha smallest number of persons who can not read and write less than 2 per cent of Its population." The latest figures on Illiteracy show Kansas 2.2 per cent unable to read and write and Nebraska only 1.9 prr cent. Iowa stands first with 1.7 per cent. Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon and Washington all how higher degrees of illiteracy than Kansas. In the same statement Gov Capper says Kansas Is the state of which 83 counties did not ha an in sane patient on their county farms in 1914. Hut the government figures for 1910, the latest available, credit Kan sas with having 2912 insane patients and Nebraska only 1990. And the leport of the Kansas state board of control for 1912. says: "The Indica tions are triat before the new hospital at Larncd can accommodate patients our hospitals at Topeka and Osawa tcmle will be compelled to refuse pa tients for want of room." Which would indicate that Kansas keeps her Insane patients in state institutions Instead of on farms. In the same statement Oov. Capper credits 40 counties of Kansas with having sent no prisoners to the state urison last year. But the last United tates census gives Kansas 1971 (risoners in Jails and Nebraska but 789. The federal prisoners are not Included In the Kansas figures. Hegardin Indebtedness. Oov. Capper takes great pleasure In calling attention to the fact that ; Kansas cleaned up Its bonded debt on January 1, 1916, and does not owe a dollar. Nebraska not only does not ewe a dollar but It has $10,000,000 In cash loaned out at a good rate of In terest. Kansas is the state which Oov. Capper says "Increased its bank de posits $16,000,000 last year." In Ne braska the state banks alone last year Increased their deposits mors than 130,000,000. Kansas has 61 building and loan associations, with 81,654 depositors 'end total assets of $18,525,000. Nebras ka has 72 associations, 75,354 deposi tors and $37,138,413 assets. Kansas had 7S5 paupers In almshouses in 1910, Nebraska but 651. The average value per acre of Kansas farms Is $35.46, Nebraska $41.80. In the matter of divorces Kansas had 286 per 100,000 population, Nebraska 22S. Kansas has not hesitated to claim to be the greatest, farming state In the country. But figures show that Ntrraska stands at the head, with Kansas third. Nebraska per capita r production for 1915 was $421,67, Iowa . $381.50 and Kansas only $281.50.

GERMAN SuBMARIN E PRISONERS Mi Y ATTRACTIONS AT SEA Captain of Norwegian Vessel Which Was Torpedoed, Tells of Life on Diver, Fire Alarm Boxes Removed. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 9. (U. P.) Fire alarm boxes were removed from a portion Vf the foreign districts here today, because the men fight such a lot and scare ths women so badly that they turned to the boxes as the first official Instrument with which to summon help. London, Sept. 9. Four days on a German submarine even as a prisoner has its fascinations, according to Cap tain Norberg of the torpedoed Nor wegian bark "Lindfield," who has emerged from his experience with something akin to praiae for the' Ger man commander of U-70. After 128 days at sea the "Lind field" encountered U-70 80 miles southwest of Fastnet Rock on Friday, March 24. The crew of 24 abandoned the vessel in two boats and the "Llndfield" was quickly destroyed. The submarine commander offered to tow the boats toward the west coast of Ireland, but rough weather rendered an attempt Impracticable, and the crew were transferredto the sub marine. The commander explained his vessel to Captain Norberg In an hour's chat In the conning tower. The U-70 was 220 feet long, carried a crew of 37, including the command er, two lieutenants and a war pilot. The commander explained that she had a speed of 25 knots on the surface and 15 knots submerged. There were two deck guns with a supply of 600 tor pedoes. There were two torpedo tubes, one aft and one forward with a supply of 10 torpedoes. A Bremen paper aboard the U boat Indicated that she came from Bremen. The commander stated that he coulJ be away from the base between 30 and 4 0 days. The officer's cabin where Captain Norberg was lodged had three berths. The vessel was lighted and heated by electricity. The prisoners got the same, fare as tha submarine's crew. The blll-of-fare waa coffee, black bread, butter, sugar, condensed milk and sausages for breakfast; a similar meal at 4 o'clock and again at half-past six, except there was tea in lieu 'of coffee and additional sardines.

On Sunday there was fresh meat and potatoes with preserved plums for desert. On Monday the midday meal was of rice and sausages. Tuesday morning after Captain, Nor-bi-rg and his crew had been aboard the submarine for almost three days the vessel dived for ,an hour and ex changed signals with another vessel, the character of which the "guests" were unaware. On a previous occasion, when the submarine remained sub merged for five hours the air was good at all times and there was no sense of depression or difficulty of breathing. The captain of the Llndfield was al lowed to roam the U boat at will. He found his crew housed with the Ger man sailors In the torpedo chambers and enjoying the same food and privi leges of the crew. The Norwegians were eventually transferred to the Norwegian bark Silas with the exception of one man, who claimed to be a Norwegian, but was probably a German. Ohio Has One Divorce For Three Weddings Report Snow Women Tire Quickest of Karxlag Bonds and Kusbanda First to Sfclxk Its SesponalbUtie. Columbus, Ohio, Bept. 9. (U. P.) For every three marriages In Ohio last year, at least one divorce suit was started. For every six marriages, one divorce was granted by Ohio courts and one marriage annulled. These figures will be cited In the forthcoming report of Secretary of State Charles Q. Hildebrant, soon to be filed with Governor Willis. Ten years ago Ohio had only one divorce to every 12 marriages. Annual reports of the former secretaries show plainly the divorce evil is gaining ground in Ohio married life. Hlldebrant's report shows it Is the wife and not the husband, as it is gen erally supposed, who tires soonest of the marriage bonds. For example, 299 divorces were granted husbands last year on tha ground that their wives had been un faithful. Only 196 wives were granted divorces from husbands charged with forgetting their Carriage vows. However, It Is the husband who shirks married responslbllty first, ac cording to the report. A total of 3014 divorces were granted wives la year for "absence and neglect," as against 1S54 granted husbands for the same reason. Hlldebrant's report shows that June stlU holds good as the month of mar riages, and that January Is the month that Cupid languishes. Of the 48,260 marriages reported for the year, 6820 were solemnized In June, while January's record was only 287i Missing Baby Found; Eoyalty Now Happy Xtlttls Prince Had Been teft Behind When tbe Austrian Xted Ths sot rinds Another Home, Petrograd, Sept. . (I, N. 8.) -A story has reached here from Brody, which concerns the lost baby prince, Vladzls Gedrolc aged two years, the son of an Austrian nobleman. Prince Cyril Gedrolc, of semi-royal "media tised" rank. The baby prince has been found again and there is mucn rejoicing in the house of Gedrolc. The parent prince Is an officer in the Austrian army and Joined his reg iment In August, 1914. The Austrians had to retreat before the advancing Russian legions and the princess, his wife, fled from her home. In the confusion the baby prince was left behind. Unaware 4K his rank and station, a Russian fraroness, Natalie Oatroff, adopted the child and took him all the way to her home at Tiflls, in the Caucasus. Bit by bit the truth got out and a Russian illustrated paper published the story with a photograph of the child. This paper came into the hands of the prince through a Russian prisoner. He was astounded to see the portrait of his lost baby figuring our the front page. The happy father at once made representations to Russia through Sweden and the. little Prince Vladzls will shortly be restored to his bom and parents.
