NEW SCHOOL LANO RULING.
Price of Both Land and Improvements
Must be Paid into the State
Treasury.

Topeka, Kan.-James Nation state
auditor has announced that here
after the auditor would not issue pat
ents for school lands where improve
ments were sold with the land unless
the entire purchase price OF t e land
and improvements was paid ilto the
state treasury for the school fund.
This action was taken 10 try to stop
sharp dealings on the state school
lands by which the state permanent
school fund lost lots Of money. A man
would lease some school land and build
a fence and a sod house or some old
SHACK on it. Then the land would be
offered for sale and these improve
ments appraised, by friends Of the
Lessee, at many times their actual value.
Prospective buyers would not bid on
the land, as they did not want to pay
two or three prices for the improve
ments, and the man who owned the
improvements and the lease would get
the land at the minimum price.
Then, as he owned the improve
ments, the purchaser would refuse TO
pay for them, paying only for the land.
The law says the purchaser must pay
for the improvements and the money
goes into the state treasury school
funds The auditor has turned down
several patents and will not issue any
more unless the purchaser actually
pays up for the improvements.

The False Teeth Trade.

Some idea of the general use of
false teeth may be gathered from the
statement that twenty millions of
them are exported from America to
England every year. When we con-
slider that probably not more than
half the inhabitants of Great Britain
indulge in the luxury of false teeth,
no matter how many grinders they
may have lost, these figures would
seem to indicate that nearly every
one in England suffers from defective
or missing teeth. AS far as observa-
ton goes, the United States is no bet
ter off than England in this respect

Topeka.-Infantile paralysis is not a
brand new disease in Kansas as has
been stated. In addition to the two
cases in Ford county 10 or 10 years
ago there were two cases at Law
renee only year ago. This informa-
ton was given to the State Board OF
Health in letter from P. W. Layport
of Lawrence, the father Of the two
victims of the disease. He states that
about a year ago his two boys were
attacked. The younger one had a
severe case and was completely para
lyzed. The older one was not affected
so seriously. However, he states that
at the present time the younger boy
has completely recovered while the
older boy is still a partial cripple.
This is the first information the board
has received indicating that there have
been recent cases of infantile paralysis
previous to the last outbreak.

The movement Of range cattle from
southwestern Kansas to north central
Kansas, where the corn feed lots are
located, but not been as great this
fall as in past years. This is due to
the shortage of the corn crop and the
high price of corn. Thousands OF
head Of cattle formerly were shipped
to the corn country. The shipments
this year are light and but very few
cattle have been driven across. This
distance across country is from 18t
to 200 miles. During the fall of the
year in times past vast herds were
seen rowing across the western prai-
