Hutchinson Officer Finds White
Child In Negro Home.
Was Found While Making Search
for Stolen Goods.
WHOSE BABY CAN 1T BE1
1t Is a Story That Should Be
Investigated at Once.
A Sad Life for the Little Crea-
ture to Start On.

Hutchinson, Jan. 1.-THE News
says:
While making a search for some
stolen goods at the home of Mrs.
Emeiine Hatch, a colored woman, liv-
ing in the east part Of the city, Dep
uty Constable S K Shirk found a
white baby, about three weeks old, at
the house. Mr.. Shirk says that the
baby was a very pretty one and was
whose child it is but was surprised to
md il there.
Whose baby is this?
There is a mystery surrounding the
infant that should be unraveled and
the officers will likely take some steps
to find whom the parents of the child
are. 1t tells a story OF some love ro-
nance, very likely that had its end
ing in a negro hovel in the outskirts
OF the city. Its being at the Hatch
home gives rise to some wonder and
there is a story connected with its
out. That a white child should be
found in the home of negroes, without
any apparent reason, bears investiga-
ton.
A little life was probably begun in
the old home, which has caused much
talk for the past few years, or the
child has evidently been brought to
the Hatch home since its birth. It is
affair, where promises have been
broken and VOWS forgotten and where
some creature has been disappointed
in what was thought to be the old
tale of true love. 1t is a fearful end
ing of something that promised
bright prospects at the beginning but
whose. fearful responsibilities have
overw helmed at least one of the par
ties and has brought self reproaches
and nights of worry and the illness of
dependency.
A baby begins its life in the big
world with the prospects of hovel life
with the beings of another race. the
little one having nought to suggest
or to do with its presence for a life
time on earth. 1t is big responsibility
at any time but the start in a negro
hovel, cared for by those who are not
its rfghtfui parents or guardians, is
too much to inhict the little one who
has been found on the bleak prairie
in the negro shanty.
Here is a baby without its parents
for Constable Shirk says it is a white
child in a negro home. Is the baby
to blame for its existence and its
home there2 Should not the father,
whoever he is, be made to care for
and to look after its future and to
make a white" child out of the
start in the negro home?
It IS case for some one to actl

Fftz Writes fo Gotcla.

Buffalo. Jan. 12.-When Frank
Gotch, the wrestler. returned from the
Canadian woods he found a letter
here from Bob" F'ttzsimmons rela-
tive to his recent challenge to JEFF
fries. It seems that when Fitz read
of Gotchs plans of entering the ring
he decided to write the Iowa wrestler
and find out for himself if Gotch is
sincere. Fitz asks in his letter if
Gotch really intends to go into the
fighting game, but gives no definite
reason for asking.
Gotch says he will answer in a
friendly manner, stating that he will
take a chance with the gloves. Gotch
suspects that Fftzsimmons wants to
know his plans and that the old
fighter may want the first chance at
him.

To Have a Factory Farmers Must
Agree to Raise So Many.
The meeting in J. Mack loves Office
attended by many of our best business
men and well-to-do farmers, for the
purpose of discussing the situation in
regard to the location of sugar beet
factory and the consequent necessity
of sugar beet culture in this commu-
nifty, developed a condition not at all
unexpected but which must neverthe-
less be overcome shortly.
If Arkansas. City is to have a beet
sugar factory her farmers must raise
the beets- They must agree to raise
a certain number OF acres Of beets for
a certain number of years. But this
is not a hardship on the farmers
Sugar beet culture is more profitable
than any other crop that can be
grown. Every objection raised by the
farmers can be readily overcome If
the matter is thoroughly and carefully
explained. The objection to buying
more machinery is very easily over
come, for several farmers can to-
gether buy the drill, which is the most
expensive piece, and cultivators can
be bought cheaply. The machinery
need not cost the farmers more than
SIS each. a very insignificant sum
compared to the net profits for a. sea-
son. The question of labor also will
solve itself IN this community as it
does in others where labor is needed.

PTTTsBURG's LIBRARY.
Reports a Growing Business, With
Mostly Fiction Read.

Pittsburg. Kas, Jan. 12.-Accord-
ing to the annual report of the city
librarian, Miss. Ella Buchanan, the
Pittsburg city library is growing in a
very substantial and satisfactory way.
The city library is now nearly one
third larger than it was one year ago,
according to the number of volumes
catalogued. There are now 4,159 vol
umes catalogued. not counting about
5000 volumes of government reports,
records, ETC., which are of value only
as references and which are not cata-
logued.
added to the library 1929 volumes.
mostly recent fiction. These books
were added at a cost OF $1,456.71. A
large part of the new books were pur-
chased through local Dealers who
were able to successfully compete
with the large eastern book houses in
bidding.
There are now 1850 card holders
who borrow books from the library,
an increase during the year of 434.
During the past year 23,450 books
were issued from the library, an in
crease of 1887 over the previous year.
Fiction is mostly in demand, six
sevenths of the books drawn from the
library by adults being fiction. There
were 1880 works OF fiction drawn
out by adults, and 1,755 works that
are not fiction.

giving the name of George Miller was
found guilty in the Atchison district
court Of stealing a team last August

fictitious, and said ne had relatives at

that he did not want to disgrace them.

brother, who is a Kansas City real
estate dealer, in the early part of Au-
gust, Of last year; that his brother
gave him $500 and that he went into
a saloon with some friends and drank
some beer. After that he says he
knew nothing unfit he found himself
in the Atchison Jail. His defense was

was due to the use Of morphine,
habit he contracted by having the
drug prescribed by a physician. He is
So years old and a native of Germany.

The Team Stolen. Not purned.

Emporia, Kas., jan IA strange
discovery was made today by John
Edwards farmer living near here.
A few days ago his barn burned and
with it team of horses. Edwards

team, valued at $3.50, but when he
examined the carcasses he found that
the horses were unshod, while his
horses had been newly shod. The two
burned were ponies. while his horses
weighed over 1900 pounds each. Ed
wards believes that his team was
stolen, the ponies put in their place.

RUSHING THE LINE.
Joplin Gas Line Is Extending a Mile
Daily.

Pittsburg. Kan, Jan. 12-A1l of the pipe
for the gas line is stretched from the
Neosho river to Sherwin and will be
stretched along the right-of-way as far as
Columbus by January Is.
Five hundred Austrians are at work
digging the trenches from the Neosho
river east. They are in camp on the Sew
crime ranch two miles west of Hallowell.
A big force will follow them and place the
pipe in the trenches and a third force of
men viii follow them and fill I'D the
trench.
The line will be completed to Oswego by
this week and will be Completed eastward
toward Columbus at the rate of a mile a
day. The river and all the creeks are al
ready laid.
In the GaIena mining camps the engi-
neers are planning the laterals that will
supply the users. A whole train Of ma
terial is now due at Galena.
It is expected that when Columbus is
reached a valve viii be put in and gas
turned on for all points between that
place and the gas wells.
A number of teams owned by the gas
line company started to hauling pipe from
Columbus Friday morning. There is an
immense quantity Of pipe in the yards

IoLA's HIGH SCHOOL.
AIfd-year Promotions Send the At
tendance Highest Ever.

lola, Kan, Jan. 12.-On Monday, Jan. %,
there will enter the high school a class Of
40 students, swelling the attendance to
z65, which is 20 more than the enrolment
at any time last year and establishes the
highest attendance record in the history
of the school.
These 40 students come from Jefferson
school as the result of the mid-year pro-
motion. The growth of the schools of lola.
during the past few years has been phe-
nomenal and that of the high school is
particularly gratifying from the fact that
1t is much more difficult to keep the
young. people OF high school age in school
than 1t is those of the grades.
Three years ago when Prof L. H Wis
hard became principal Of the high school
the attendance reached 164. The next year
1t increased to 204. Last year it went 40
beyond this and this year the enrolment
for the first term was 225 and with the in
coming of the new class week after next
it will be 265.

MILLIONS OF CROWS.
Country Around Deering Is Literally
Covered Win the Birds.

It is not exaggeration to say that
the country around Deering. six miles
west of Coffeyville, is literally covered
two or three days, there have been
thousands and thousands of the big
black birds over the fields around the
little burg. Their wings make a noise
like thunder when they rise in flight.
One farmer from that vicinity stated
that the crows settled on a small corn
field near his house, and literally tore
down shock after shock of corn.
When he discovered the great hocks
of birds there, they had torn down
and eaten the corn from dozens of
shocks, in all, he estimates, not less
than fifty bushels of grain. No one
can account for the great f1ocks. The
birds do not seem to be migrating, but
simply soJourning in the neighbor-
hood. Seen from the trains, it ap-
pears that the fields are fairly black
with the birds.-Coneyvfl Record.

Out i'm Ford County This Snow is
Highly Appreciated.

Dodge City, Kan, Jan. 12.-After a
"a hours snowfall western and central
Kansas is blanketed with from 4 to
10 inches of snow. After the snow
had ceased falling it began sleeting
and in some sections the crust formed
on top of the snow is of sufficient
thickness and strength to hold up a
mans weight. Very little wind pre-
vailed during the storm and there are
no drifts to speak of. Traffic on the
railroad is moving as usual, but the
country roads viii be extremely hard
TO get through for a few days. While
the snow will undoubtedly cause con-
siderable suffering and loss to live
stock on the ranges in the western
counties, it will be a great benefit to
the winter wheat, the acreage of
which is the largest ever sown in this
section Of the state.

Western Farmers Pleased With Hol-

Dodge City, Kan, Jan. ia num-
Der of Ford county farmers are very
much interested in the Holcomb irri-
eating plant near Garden City, and It
Is very likely that some similar plants
will be Installed on Ford county farms

orchard of several acres that Will

that he expected to see the Arkansas
valley from here to the Colorado line
become a great fruit producing area
within the next ten years il the Hol-
comb irrigation system proves a sue
cess. 1t has been demonstrated that
all kinds of fruit adapted to the tenn
perate zone will grow to absolute per-
lection in the valleys of western Kan
sas if supplied with sufficient mois-
ture. At the present time there are,
perhaps, half hundred five to twenty
acre young orchards between here
and Garden City that are being sup
piled with moisture from windmills,
to say nothing of the hundreds of
smaller orchards that dot the prairies
between here and there. The Arkan-
sas valley west of Garden City is also
coming to the front in a modest way
with several promising young or
chards that are irrigated by windmill
power. Great things are being said
of the "arid" region by practical fruit
growers of the Holcomb irrigation SyS-
tenn of pumping water by steam is

has investigated the Holcomb plant
