me County High School.

The Chapman Advertiser uses a
good deal 81 uncomplimentary LAM
gnage toward the REFLECTOR because
this paper called attention TO the pro-
test against the high tax levy for the
county high school this year, and de-
clares that we are attempting 70 ras-
sault the best educational institution
in Kansas"
Nothing could be more ridiculous
than sucA a charge. This paper has
never bad anything but compliments
for the county high school which is
well conducted and accompanies .
great deal Of good, as 1t is intended to
do.
While this 10 true 1t does not
necessarily follow that the county
should be taxed $4,000 for support Of
the school next year. According to-
the Advertiser 2O5 pupils were en-
rolled. which means an average at
tendance Of about 17b to 100. 1t is
maniiestly unfair to ask Harrington.
Hope, Enterprise, Solomon and Abb
lene which maintain high schools Of
the same grade as the county high
school to contribute thus heavily to
the support Of another high school to
which they send no pupils because
the same work is done at home. A
much iairer plan Is that Of other
states where county high schools are
maintained that districts supporting |
schools Of the same grade shall be ex-
empt from tax for county high school
support. Certainly II the county
high school were located at Abilene
we should think 1t unjust that the
other towns Of the county in addition
to maintaining their own high schools
should have to support the one here.
With this proposition we think the
Advertiser will agree.
The Advertiser refers somewhat
acrimoniously to the alleged "bar-
gain" Of politicians when the bonds
were voted. II it were made the
editor Of this paper had no more to
do with it than did the Advertiser
man and certainly the bonds are be-
ing paid with no complaint. The
conditions that confront this genera
ton are present ones and should be
solved on their merits. That many
persons think a tax levy Of $4,000 for
the county high school this year too
high is iact--not matter Of opinion.
As we said the county high school
fills a high place in the states scheme
Of education and among the 20 or
more in the state that Of this county
ranks with the best, but some day
here win be revision Of the laws for
he support Of such schools that will
be fairer toward the districts that al
'eady maintain schools Of equal
grade.

Buyers are more in evidence and as a
result business has expanded measurably
at leading western and Pacific coast
points and at a few southern centers.
Some western cities note evidence of new
life in buying by southern and southwest
ern merchants of fall and winter goods.
incidentally some new stocks are reported
being bought at Chicago, which is rather
in contrast with year ago, when COM
ing depression had already begun to make
for precaution in embarking in new en-
terprises
Despite the improvement however, the
volume of business doing does not equal
that of last season and conservatism and
caution still are visible. Retail trade is

increase in activity, though slowly, but

KANSAS IS MAKING CIDER.
Enormous Yield OF Apples Has
Syvamped the Markets.

Implement dealers throughout Kansas
are this summer being called upon by
farmers for kind of farm utensil for
which the demand in former years has
been very slight-cider presses. Two years
ago there were a few presses sold through
out the State, but last year it is doubtful
if a press was sold in the whole State Of
Kansas This summer it is different, how
ever, for the yield of both apples and
grapes is phenomenal, and to take care Of
the large crop farmers are buying cider
presses and making cider and wine. APP
pie trees are breaking down with the load
of fruit, every variety of tree being filled
as full of apples as the limbs will bear.
1t is the same way with the grapevines.
They are loaded to the breaking point
with great punches of fruit. Of course
a market is found for much of the fruit,
but as the yield is much heavier than IN
former years and a market for such fruit
has never been especially established by
farmers in that section, some other meth
cd had to be devised to take care Of the
surplus. As a result the farmers are buy
ing cider presses and making cider and
wine Some farmers are picking many
apples to keep the trees from breaking
and making them into cider at the present
time Others are making grape juice.
