TEACHERS CERTIFICATES.
Out of the 166 Who Took the Wichita
Examination 43 Failed.

Wichita, Kas., Aug. 19.-County SUI
perintendent A. D. Taylor has an
nounced the names of those taking the
county teachers examination VINO
were fortunate in securing certificates.
The examinations were unusually hard
this year and a larger number failed
than last year. Out of 166 who took
the examination 43 were unsuccessful
"'I cannot state" said Mr.. Taylor,
whether we will be short of teachers
in the county this year or not, as
am unable to judge the number of
teachers holding certificates who did
not have to take the examinations OF
course a number of our teachers go
outside the county to teach and a
number come into the county from
outside localities. However. l am of
the opinion that the young people who
have received certificates from the in
stitute this year will have very little
difficulty in securing schools. A num-
Der of the schools had already hired
teachers who have since failed in their
examinations, creating vacancies"

LAWRENCE MAN LUCKY.
Rev. Willis, Formerly of Lawrence,
Discovers Oil in Montana

Lawrence, Kas., Aug. 19.-Rev. H.
L. Willis. who was formerly a pastor
of the North Lawrence Christian
church, was recently the discoverer
of an oil field in Montana and as a
reward for his discovery was given a
fifth share in a 5000 acre tract that
is owned by a company there. Rev.
Willis is visiting his friends in Law
renee at present and this morning he
received a report from an oil expert
saying that the oil he had discovered
is of excellent quality and is a lubri-
eating oil that never sold for less than
IS per barrel.
Rev. Willis went from Lawrence to
Montana a few years ago to benefit his
health, and he took a pastorate there.
A short time ago it was rumored that
there was oil under a part of the sur
rounding country, and one day he took
it upon himself to go up the valley
and see if he could discover any signs
of the fluid. In a small spring he
found some oil. which came to the
top of the spring in sufficient quanti-
ties to lead him to believe that it came
from good source. The source has
been proven to be a good one, and the
expert, who is reliable one, says that
the territory is rich.

This Season Shows Finest Apple
Crop Raised.
Yield In the Arkansas Valley
Exceeds All Expectations.
GREAT BIG SURPRISE.
Nearly 100000 Bushels Within
10 Miles of Hutchinson.
Thirty Trains of Twenty Cars
Each to Market the Fruit.

Hutchinson. Aug. 19.-The apple bus
mess in the Cow creek and the Arkan-
sas valleys has been a surprise for
many years, but never more so than
this very year. 1t is one business
among many others which is growing
all the time and which has assumed
proportions which have put the large
growers of apples in the northeastern
part of the state to studying. The
northeastern part of the state for years
has been the home of the apple or
chard and there have been immense
crops raised there Now, when the
trees planted here a good many years
ago are just beginning to show their
worth, and when nature is smiling in
the valley as it never smiled before,
one begins TO realize that Reno county
is an orchard country and cannot be
beaten or equaled in any part of the
state or in Missouri, where the big
red apple has been trade mark for
years.
There are thousands upon thousands
of trees laden with fruit this year that
are surprise to anyone who has not
been actually driven through the or
chards. There are trees which will bear
So bushels each and hundreds after
hundreds which will bring % bushels to
make money for the horticulturist.
There are yet thousands of others
which will bear Is and 20 bushels to
the acre.
Do you know that this immense crop
will have to be sold out of the county
and out of the state. and that at least
400 cars will be necessary to haul these
apples away, which will be marketed at
Hutchinson alone2
There are many people who are we'll
up in the orchard business who say
that there will be as many as 800 cars
marketed at Hutchinson alone, and that
at least 80 trains OF 20 cars each will
be necessary to take this crop to the
consumer. This may be a little too
much for good measure, but it is a
fact that there will be an enormous
crop and that most of it will have to
find a market where there are no apples
grown
Another fine thing about the apple
crop this year is that the fruit is prac-
tically all in fine condition. 1t is
large growth and it is almost perfect
in size and shape.
There are many big orchards. The
Yaggays have an orchard of nearly 500
acres, and the apple yield from the
bearing trees will go all the way from
10000 TO $4,000 bushels. There are a
dozen other orchard men, possibly, who
viii have crops from ten to twenty
five and thirty thousand bushels, and
all of the fruit in good condition

cred two sacks of ii from Mock. The
case against Hargreaves was dismissed
while the other boys were given six
months in the city Jail, but sentence
was suspended and they were ordered
out OF town, being warned, however.
