OLD NEWS IS FUN NEWS PROVIDED BY THE NORTH LYON COUNTY HISTORY MUSEUM Admire News, April 24, 1903 - Even the thermometer has been known to take a drop too much. - The Comiskey Telephone Co. manager has received a shipment of crossbars and expects a car of poles immediately, to commence work on the local system for Americus. When this is done and Admire gets her line completed to connect with Allen, we will be able to converse with the citizens of Americus when necessity demands. - Ed Swisher has accepted a position as manager of the Miller Bros.’ ranch at Miller, Kansas, and we want to inform you that it is no kitchen garden affair. This ranch includes nearly 15,000 acres of land. They expect to put in 1,800 acres of corn this season. They are at this time feeding 1,200 head of cattle. We are glad to know that Ed secured such a position, for it pays well. We wish him abundant success. – Lyndon Record - King Edward of England was pelted with rose petals at Lisbon, Spain. This is a distinct improvement over the fashion of throwing bombs. - It is easier to raise a windmill than it is to raise the wind to make it go. - The Burlingame Enterprise has discovered that there is a minister in Missouri who is evidently looking for trouble. He has announced that in the future he will tell the truth when preaching funeral sermons. - When the male Birds of Paradise assemble to woo the females by displaying their wonderful plumage, the native fowler of the tropics (who harvests feathers to decorate ladies’ hats) builds a screen in the lower tree branches and shoots the male bird with blunt arrows, so as not to draw blood. The feet, wings and skull are then removed and the skin smoked over a slow fire. Humming birds are usually shot with a blow tube loaded with fine sand. The skins are smoked to preserve them, then packed in crates for transport. Strong efforts are being made in India and elsewhere to stop such “murderous millinery.” - A lawyer may be good natured even in his cross examinations. - Why should we keep for others each pleasant word or jest, And save our gruffest manners for those who love us best? - A young man in Atchison is such a wretched dancer that the girl with whom he was entangled paused long enough in the whirl to ask, “Are we waltzing or wrestling?”

PUT A LITTLE LIBRARY IN YOUR LIFE Emporia Public Library Staff

Dear Reader, How are you doing? All right? If you're new to the community or unfamiliar with the Shopper, this is the library letter, a column that lets you know about your local library. Coming into the Emporia Public Library isn't possible right now, so we're promoting online resources for everyone during the quarantine. We have a special tab on our website (www.emporialibrary.org) dedicated to online resources, as well as a tab labeled “Bored?” to provide information on other learning opportunities that are available for free. Digital forms of reading and connecting are opening up all around. Marci Penner at the Kansas Sampler created a special Facebook page called Kansas Responds for posting posi-

tive responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The State Library of Kansas added TumbleBooks, a popular platform that provides children's ebooks as well as adult romances, which you can access from the EPL catalog and the Digital Resources page of the www. kslib.info website. The Emporia Public Library has made the process of getting a temporary EPL card available online. This will allow you to log in to the Sunflower eLibrary digital collection. You can also apply for a Kansas State Library card at the same time to gain access to RBDigital audiobooks. Just go to www.emporialibrary.org and click on the

"Need a card?" image on the banner to fill out the online form. This is only a temporary card; once the library opens, you can come in to finish the application and receive a permanent card. In the meantime, those who apply will receive an email with their temporary card number, PIN, and state library card number. Assistant Director Mckenzie Gulick said in an email, "We are still closed and cannot do certain things for the public, but this will be a great way for them to feel like we are still there for them!" Library Specialist Erin Livingston said that over twenty people had responded to the temporary card application as of March 31. If you are having trouble using your library card or your state library card, need to reset your EPL PIN, or have any other questions, please email the staff at epl@emporialibrary.org or reach out via social media. Continue to visit www.emporialibrary.org for more announcements and fun information and watch the EPL Facebook and Twitter feed for new postings.

Sometime in the old days, a relative of Betty Brown’s had died and was to be buried in the Fruitland Cemetery west of Americus. Before there was a bridge, there was a ford of the Neosho River. The guys driving the wagon carrying the casket missed the ford, and the box floated out of the wagon and down the river. It’s not that hard to miss a ford – a foot this way or a foot that way off the gravel – a harrowing run of water after a seasonal rain washing gullies in the hard packed river bottom – an unruly mule fighting the weight of the wagon and its load, creating an angling onto the ford rather than a straight run - any of these can cause a wagon to miss the ford. But a box casket floating in the quick flow of the river is a challenge! Men had to scramble down the muddy river bank, tripping over roots and downed logs, sliding into the river, thrashing in the water, trying to get a grab at the floating box. Imagine it all. Imagine finally getting ahold of the box and having to push it back up the bank, maybe up the other side. Is the body shifting inside? Is water streaming out? Then getting mules and wagon down to where the casket is, or maybe just struggling to carry the casket all the way back to where the wagon has been righted, ready for the additional miles on to the cemetery. Imagine it all. It is a story told down through the decades in Betty’s family. From July 1928 until March 1939 St. Joseph’s Catholic Church of Olpe was ably served by Father Pius Bachler, O.F.M. Father Pius was beloved by all, not only for the many building renovations he initiated for the church, but also for his warm, affectionate leadership, both in church and in school. High school students knew his heavy steps in the hallway but also the extra puffing of his cigar if they had displeased him. Fr. Pius was only 52 when he died in a car accident. His car and a Santa Fe “Doodlebug” collided at the Highway 99 crossing in Olpe. The “Doodlebug” often came through so fast and it was small and not easily seen as it came around the curve. In the car with Fr. Pius was Fr. Theodore Hesselbrock of Cincinnati, a friend. In spite of the Depression and crop failures, Fr. Pius had renovated and repaired the rectory, built two immense reservoirs to insure adequate water supply for the various buildings of the parish, installed a gas plant in both the church and school, renovated the statues and stations in the church, and installed a complete new rubber tile floor. His hobby of landscaping made the church and school grounds a beauty spot in Olpe.

and honest relationship with your children and their peers, reporting suspected maltreatment, donating to a service agency that works with these children, or by helping to spread awareness.

And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy... Genesis 2:3 Usually on Saturday evening, I try to go to bed early so I’m refreshed on Sunday morning. But, I do remember a Saturday night years ago, coming home late after a K-State football game. It was a four hour drive. I went to bed very late only to drag myself out of bed a few hours later for my Sunday church-service marathon. “If I did not have to preach the message,” I told myself, “I would have slept in.” My first service was at 8:30 am, we sang hymns, and then it was time for the children’s message. The eager kids gathered around me, and I showed them a blue box. “This box is so heavy,” I said. I lifted the lid and looked inside. “No wonder it is

In my office during the week I prepare my sermon, talk to church and community members, visit people in the nursing home, visit people in the hospital, prepare for Bible studies, prepare devotions, attend meetings, attend dinners, work on special projects and come home tired.” “Sometimes on Saturdays, I get phone calls that someone needs to visit with me or they need my help. Or, the lawn needs to be mowed or the car washed. Each day the hours can become long and tiring, but there’s one day that is different. It is called the Sabbath. God made it holy. God

even made it one of the Ten Commandments. On this day we push aside all the heavy things and come together as God’s people to pray, to worship and to hear His Word.” “When we do this, we are not only obeying one of the commandments, but we are making the rest of the week lighter and easier to carry.” As the children looked at me with their big eyes and soft smiles, I was reminded why I was really here this Sunday morning. Not because I had to be, but because I was called to be. It is my honor to praise God and give thanks for this day and the many blessings I receive throughout my busy and tiring week. We are all privileged to honor God and

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue announced the acceptance of more than 3.4 million acres in the general Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) signup recently completed, the first general signup enrollments since 2016. County offices will begin notifying producers with accepted offers no later than April 3. Through CRP, farmers and ranchers receive an annual rental payment for establishing long-term, resource-conserving plant species, such as approved grasses or trees, to control soil erosion, improve water quality and enhance wildlife habitat on cropland. Farmers and ranchers who participate in CRP help provide numerous benefits to the nation’s environment and economy. “The Conservation Reserve Program is one of our nation’s largest conservation endeavors and is critical in helping producers better manage their operations while conserving valuable natural resources. CRP is a part of the heritage that producers use to help our next generation continue the legacy of great stewardship,” State Executive Director David Schemm said. “The program marked its 35th anniversary this year, and we were quite pleased to see one of our largest signups in many years.” Information about acres accepted by state and more can be found at https://www.fsa. usda.gov/programs-andservices/conservationprograms/reports-andstatistics/conservation-reserve-program-statistics/ index. Over these 35 years, CRP has addressed multiple concerns while ensuring the most competi-

tive offers are selected by protecting fragile and environmentally sensitive lands, improving water quality, enhancing wildlife populations, providing pollinator forage habitat, sequestering carbon in soil and enhancing soil productivity. Seventy percent of the nation’s land is owned and tended privately, and America’s farmers, ranchers and landowners have willingly stepped up to protect the environment and natural resources. This general signup included offers for State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (SAFE), which allows producers to install practices that benefit highpriority, locally developed wildlife conservation objectives using targeted restoration of vital habitat. Over 95 percent of SAFE offers submitted were accepted under this general signup representing more than 487,500 acres. This acceptance level highlights the commitment to SAFE as an important part of CRP. The 2018 Farm Bill established a nationwide acreage limit for CRP, with the total number of acres that may be enrolled capped at 24.5 million acres in 2020 and growing to 27 million by 2023. While the deadline for general CRP signup was February 28, 2020, signups for continuous CRP, Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program, CRP Grasslands and the Soil Health and Income Protection Program (SHIPP) are ongoing. The CRP Grasslands deadline is May 15, and the SHIPP signup begins March 30, 2020, and ends August 21, 2020. Continuous and GrassPlease see USDA, Page 12
