WHEAT O. K. IN KlNGMAN
Reports of Total Losses Are Largely
Over(lrawn.a

kingman. Kan, July 18.-The Leader
Courier prints the following:
Frank Weinschenk came in from a
long drive from the southern part of
the county, and when asked as to con-
ditions as he found them, stated r:lat
there was no such damage done by the
late rains to wheat and oats as some
people have been claiming. In fact, the
drying weather we are now having will
soon make conditions much better, and
taken as a whole, we really have no
cause to complain, compared with peo-
pie of surrounding counties, especially
north, east and south, where they have
been able to save only a small per
cent of their crops. Mr.. Weinschenk
says that the season is not without ITS
lessons, namely, that it pays to pillow
ground early, harrow it we'll and SOW
1t in good season, whereby insuring
good crops
I'm his Judgment which no doubt is
correct, it would pay farmers to pillow
their ground at once. as there will be
a big coat of weeds and grass which in
a few days will sap the ground and
cause it to dry out very rapidly, and
later on might make it harder to pillow.
Another observation of his was that
1t pays to sow wheat thick in order to
insure a good stand. In fact, accord
gathered in this country for many
years, it pays to do things in the
proper season. For instance, not
alone in sowing wheat, planting corn,
hay crop that we have. 1t takes no
more effort to secure hay at the prop
er time than later, neither does it pay
to put in wheat, corn or any other
crop late, and that it is not a question
so much of how conditions will be at
the harvest time of any crop as it is
the conditions under which it is put
in.
HE predicts that when all of our
crops are gathered, including the
corn, that the country will show the
best crop ever raised, which might
have been improved by better farm
ing and especially at the proper time.
There is no country in the world
where good farming will pay better,
and perhaps no country where SO many
people are careless about the way
their crops are put in. This, how
ever, he says, is being remedied by
the advent of eastern people who are
farming according to eastern ideas,
which are correct, and will apply to
Kansas, especially this part

FIND THE WHEAT GOOD.
First Reports From Sumner by Far
Too PeSsimistic.

Winfield, Kas., July 1S.-The Courier
says: w. ]. Num- has returned from
Sumner county, where he has been to
look after his wheat farms. He re-
ports the standing grain doing re-
rnarkably well, and that harvesting
will begin Monday. He saw the 220
acres of wheat of Lewis Brown near
Mayfield. Half of it was in shocks,
the rest uncut. The shocked wheat
was not damaged as much as feared,
and will turn out a lot of good wheat.
The same report is made by farmers
coming in from western Cowley.
There is going to be more good
wheat saved and marketed in Cowley
than was hoped for. The farmers are
figuring on separating the sound
wheat from the damaged wheat as
they stack it. 1t is believed this will
bring better results than would mix
ing poor and good together.

A BIG OIL DEAL.
Sale of Property at Chanute to Iowa
Capitalists for $125,OOO.

Chanute, Kas., July 1s.-One of the
largest deals ever made in the local
field has been consummated by the
sale of the property and lease hold
ings of the Shaw Oil. Gas and Min
eral company to a syndicate of Iowa
capitalists for $125, 1000.
The Shaw company was organized
last year. 1t controls leases on 1,O11
acres of land lying southeast of Cha
mute, six oil wells, a power house and
pumping system, and a number of
field tanks. The Standards trans
Neosho line has just been completed
to the property and will afford a
ready market for all of the oil pro-
duced.

Lewis is but 10 years of age. He
lost his right arm when but a small
boy, in playing about the cars one day
and being caught between the bump
ers. AS soon as the injury was healed
he began playing ball and his left
arm and hand are developed into al
most twice their ordinary strength. He
has organized several baseball teams
in North Topeka, but has gathered to-
gether an unusually strong aggrega-
ton in the Shippers. Recently he
issued a def to play any team in the
city league. None of the trolley chas-
ers have yet picked up his gauntlet.

A ONE ARMED BALL PLAYER.
Captain Lewis, Short Stop OF North
Topeka Shippers, Plays Good Ball.

Topeka has a one armed baseball
player who is a good deal better than
many who have diamond honors and
both wings. His name is Frank F.
Lewis, nicknamed Dutch" He is
captain and short stop of the North
Topeka Shippers, a team which has
played 18 games this year and won
every one. Lewis has participated in
them all. He has not been struck out
this year-not even by the crack
Robinson who has now gone into fast
er company. He has made three home
runs this season, several three baggers
and a good list of two sackers. He
uses no glove in playing. Backing up
the second and third basemen is one
of the features of his playing. Very
quick on his feet, he gets around the
diamond faster than probably any
other amateur short stop in the city.

Upon the filing of the suit, we, of

rible Teddy from the healthy regions
of Colorado one round and the sun

from the southlands bite the dust.
After hitting him all over the upper
half of his anatomy during the first
act, he chopped him an easy one on
the jaw just after the curtain was up

down on his face and knees much
like Chinaman salaaming and grow

upon Lewis was put on his feet by
Green Watson and Joe Johnson, his
seconds. They needed neither hypo-

guzzles of water out of bottle, wiped
his Sweated brow, and ambIed off into
the woods and put on his clothes.
Incidentally he got ten dollars for his
part of the programme. The sum of
$50 was collected from the sports and
this was broken evenly between the
two. Sylvan Kline, general manager

fifty on the side, but nobody could pro-
duce an affidavit of that effect. If Ed

Bob Robinson's pitching for the
Saints at Washburn field on Saturday
afternoon against Springfield came
close to breaking up the city league.
His old trolley chasing friends all
wanted to see their faVorite work, and
four clubs bolted their games for va
rious reasons and were on hand at
the big contest. The Y. M. c.. A. and
the Auditors were scheduled to play
at Lowman Hill. They went out and
then telephoned back to town that
they would not play because both
sides had lost their masks. Just where
they hid the cages is a mystery. The
Santa Fe Reds and the Sluggers were
to play at the college grounds right
after dinner, but they hunted soft
places in the bleachers and took lung
exercises to yell for Robinson. The
only game played in the city league

BARGAIN
COUNTER
PRICES
Town In Arkansas Will Be
Sold at Public Auction

Little Rock, Ark. June 9.-Unless
the courts intervene, the entire town
.of Carlisle, this state, and about
$500 acres of land surrounding the
town are to be sold at public auction
today on an order granted by the pro-
bate court of Lonoke county to the
heirs of the original owner of the
land.
The order was secured by the guard
ian of three minor heirs of a French
man named Chomio, who years ago
owned all the land on which the town
of Carlisle now stands, as well as
much of the surrounding country.
The original owner sold much of the
land years ago, but in 1879, presuma.
bly, to make title clear, he secured a
patent from the state for the whole
tract.
He failed, 1t is said, to make new
deeds, however, for the land which
he had sold, and as a result the heirs
now claim the property. Three of
the grandchildren of the original
owner, who now reside in Louisiana
claim an undivided sixteenth of the
and through their guardian
secured an order for the sale OF the
whole tract.
