KANSAS NOTES

Inc Howard COurant is having Iuu
with one of the members of the local
branch Of the Hammer and Paddock
club. 1t says: "Looman Williams,
who is 'agin' the bonds and everything
else, has the best reason we have
heard for opposing them. He runs o
little corn meal mill here in Howard
and says last year he sold over 500
worth Of cobs from his corn shelter.
Now, If the bonds carry and folk get
to burning gas, nobody will buy his
cobs. See? OF course, he is 'agin'
the bonds! He uses gasoline for fuel
in his engine, and when somebody
asked him il natural gas wouldn't be
cheaper and more convenient for his
use, he said that he had been told
that whereas he could get up 15-horse
power with gasoline, with natural gas
he could only get up 14-horse power.
Anyway, he is 'agin' the bonds, and
he don't care who knows it."
