In case no technicality arises and
the case goes to trial with all the
mass of testimony expected to be
adduced by witness and by record,
the trial bids fair to continue for
10 days II not for two weeks. There
is also the possibility that it may
string out even longer.

KANSAS FARMERS REVEL IN
JUICY PORTERHOUSE AT COST
BEEF CLUBS PROVIDE FAM.
LIES WITH FRESH MEAT IN
SUMMER-lT BEATS BUYING
FROM A INDEPENDENTLY
SLAUGHTERFEST.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 30.-While
the United States government is
probing through the courts, the
progressive farmers of Kansas are
fighting the beef barOns in a more
quiet but yet effective manner
through beef clubs"-groups of 20
or 20 farmers who kill their own
beef.
Aaron Walton, four miles west
of Topeka, started the first club
last spring. He had taken a 4
year old steer to a butcher friend
in Topeka. The friend did not
have much money and suggested
to Mr.. Walton that he take out the
price of the steer in beef. Walton
agreed. When he had taken out
enough steak to equal the price of
the entire steer, Walton discovered
that he had eaten less than a quar-.
ter of the dressed meat. The
butcher had taken three-quarters
for his share of the profit.
The First Club.
That experience set Walton to
thinking and the organization OF
the first beef club, with hiNself
as president and Emery Brobst, an
other Shawnee county farmer, as
secretary and treasurer. There
are 20 families in the club.
Walton's club has proved so
great success that two other clubs
were formed.
The Walton club employs a good
butcher who works as farm hand
also. The club supplies a set of
tools. The butcher kills every Fri
DAY afternoon. He loads the plat
form and tools upon a wagon and
drives to the home of member of
the club where a steer is to be
killed. The cattle are never driven
to the butcher.
Two messes of sirloin, two of
porterhouse, three of round steak,
q soup bone, a share of shoulder,
along with portions of every other
part of beef, is the average week.
Iy share for each family. Larger
messes are given to the larger fam.
lilies.
One Beef a Season.
The season of Walton's beef club
Is planned to run 20 weeks. That
demands. exactly one steer from
each farm during the summer

There is no reason why the club
should not be kept running through
the winter except that the farmers
generally prefer themselves to kill
hogs and smaller animals in the
winter.
Walton's club started in April of
this year. The first two beeves
were credited to the owners at the
rate of cents per pound, because
the cattle had been fattened on
corn. After the pastures were open
the price was cents per pound.
