725 hunters licenses since the new
game law went into effect July /. It

twenty-three and the lowest number
issued was two in one day.

problems. 1t Is question of room
that confronts it now. They have
found from past experience that ev-
cry increase in population of $500
that new building is needed. The
growth of the city the past two years
has been so steady that the board is

room.

on Guard Kurtz, was seriously scald-
ed about the head and chest in Leav-
enworth at the Kurtz home, back of
the federal prison. Tie child saw
kettle on the stove and reaching up
upset hot soup all over its body. A
doctor was summoned from the hos
pital and medical treatment given. 1t
was very fortunate that the soup did
not reach the eyes. Although the
burns are serious, they will not prove
fatal.
Hutchinson Postoffice Gains. -
There is a big increase in the bust
ness of the Hutchinson postoffice. 1t
is such an increase that Hutchinson
will be an Office of the first-class by
the end of next year, with the same
gain for next year as for the present.
The receipts of postoffice must be
$4,000 or more per year before 1t is
an office of the flrst-class. The re-
ceipts for this year, from the way
things are figured at this time, will
go something over $4,000. This has
been a gain of about $4,000 during the
past year. With this ratio Of gain for
next year Hutchinson will be counted
in anot...er class as a postoffice.
Killing Grasshoppers. - 1t is said
that the recent cold, damp weather
has been doing away with the grass
hoppers. The grasshoppers at this
time of the year generally feed on the
young wheat, close to where there is
a hedge fence and at nights they re-
tire to the fence and curl up to sleep.
But it is said that the grasshopper
merchants forgot to lay in supply
of wooden blankets this fall, and the
result is that the Topper has to go to
bed clad only in the night gown which
nature gave him. This costume being
decidedly brief, the grasshopper be-
comes thoroughly chilled and at last
falls over, frozen to death.
