PARKER SHOWS FIRE LOSS.
SaIina Carnival Is Postponed Until
Next Spring.

Salina Journal: 'sThe Elks' carni-
val is all off. A telegram was re-
ceived yesterday afternoon from
Harry Raver, the manager of the Park
or shows which were to have been
here next week, stating that it would
be impossible to Gil the dates for this
city as the fire last Sunday evening
practically put the show out Of BUSH
ness. The wardrobes Of all the actors
we're destroyed and many Of the fea-
lures were likewise destroyed.
In consequence Of the fire the In
dians have left the company, the
North America show leaves at the
closing Of the engagement at Manhat-
tan this week, and the ''Skidoo"
Girls and the acrobats have also made
their escape. The total inability Of
the company to give a first class show
was not discovered until yesterday
when all the troubles seemed to come
to Mr.. Raver at once"
The shows were burned while ON a
train near Lincoln, Neb., catching
from spark from the engine. The
engineer did not stop until much
damage was done. 1t is too late for
Mr.. Parker to get good attractions for
next week SO the carnival is postponed
to spring.

MONEY IN FARM LAND.
Neat Little Profit of $4,000 on
1920 Investment.

vspevV AMVCDVAtACNGe
Six years ago an Abilene man
bought tract Of Dickinson county
land for 81, 200. He sold 1t this week
for &l7, 1000.
Last March ]. R. Noll came here
from Marion county and bought
farm of 4sO acres, paying for 1t
$l7, 900. The farm is seven miles
from town and not particularly noted
for its improvements. The price was
considered very high by the old tim
ers who had lived here through all
the ups and downs Of land values.
Mr.. Noll lived in town and rented the
the farm. He took of good crop
and last week sold for $4,000. Last
winter farm a mile east OF town was
sold for $4,000, the highest price the
land had ever brought. A week ago
it changed hands again at $4,000.
A resident Of North Abilene came
here Is months ago with $4,000. He
has moved FIVE times as he sold his
property and was compelled to seek a
new home. Now he has property
that he could sell any day for $500
and 1t is increasing In price steadily.
During the year and a half he has
lived from the profits in his land
deals.
Out southwest Of town where every
acre was under six feet Of water dur
ing the food is . farm Of 240 acres.
Its owner sold II a little over year
ago for $46 an acre, thinking he was
receiving q high price. The new
owner refused e75 an acre a few days
ago. Another farm near that one
sold for $50 an acre and was consid-
cred as good deal Of an imposition
on the purchaser; now 1t could be
sold for $75 any day.
The people who come here are
mostly from Iowa, Illinois, Eastern
Kansas and Eastern Nebraska. They
have sold farms at 1925 or $3.50 an
acre and have the cash to buy twice
as much land as they formerly |
They see the crops here
practically as good as those in the
section from which they came and
have more faith in the future than do
those who have been here many years
especially those who knew Central
Kansas In the middle eos. The
homeseekers' excursions are as well
as they were two years
lgo and the activity Of the land
agents Is as eager.

HIGH SCHOOL WAS VICTOR.
Military Boys Defeated in Opening
Football Game.

by p to 0. The game was wei
played from every standpoint.
The way the St. Johns boys start.
ed out to play 1t seemed almost i'm,
possible for our boys to stand show
but with grit they came to the front.
St. Johns kicked off to Abilene, s.
Gross receiving the ball and advanc-
ing II forward 10 yards. Then St.
Johns received the ball on the first
scrimmage by a quarterback kick.
Il was impossible for the st. John
boys to gain and punted. They
downed Gross within a foot OF st.
Johns goal. Then Goodwin gave a
beauniful quarterback kick which
was covered by Minor.
Abilene's swift work began with
Summers receiving the ball and going
ing for touchdown, Snider kicking
goal. The work Of the Abilene team
was the same swift all around playing
all through the game.
The features Of the game were the
playing Of Summers. r. Snider,
Gross, Koby and Eddy, who made
gains every time they were called on.
Summers the fleet footed half made
two touch-downs Of the four and his
work on the defensive was fine. r.
Snider who played half also made
touch. down and his breaking up Of
the St. Johns interference was iea-
ture. Eddy made the other touch
down and his work both on the de-
fensive and offensive could not be
beaten. The work of Gross, Koby,
Eisenhower, Landis, Close, o. Snider,
Pendergrast and Minor was praise
worthy. Goodwin who experienced
his first game at quarterback has an
exceptionally good start. He used
his head in all his plays and knows
when to punt and how.
The St. John boys were gentleman.
" and good all around players but
were not quite fast enough for Abb
lene.
The game yesterday proved that
Abilene has champion football team

boys returned home feeling they were

that the army could suppress millions

that the government has been afraid
to use it.
