In over half of the counties-63 to
be eXact-not a single druggist permit
is now outstanding. IN the 103 coun-
ties heard from, there are 300 permits
Eight counties have only one, and sew
enteen over five permits in force. Six
counties of the state hold over half
the permits. The names of these
counties and the number of permits
are as follows: Cherokee, II; Leav-
enworth, 10; Labette, II; Sedgwick,

Stubs investigating School Situa-
tlon.-Governor-elect w. R. Stubs Is
sending out letters to county superin-
tendents all over the state asking for
information concerning the schools OF
the different counties. Every county
superintendent either has or will re-
ceive letter of this nature. 1t is evi-
dent from the letters that Mr.. Stubs
suspects that district teachers have
not gone far enough in school as he
says he is informed that of approx
mately 900 teachers in the state, less
than ten per cent ever graduated from
a college, a normal school or univer-
sity He says that he regards the edu-
cation of institutions of prime import
ance and desires to put forth an ef-
fort to make the schools more prac-
teal and helpful to those who attend
them. 1t is believed that he hopes to
have the educational commission Of
the state or the legislature to make
more stringent requirements this win
ter touching upon the qualifications Of
teachers.

KANSAS STATE NEWS
Brief Review of the Happenings of Week Condensed Into
Paragraph for our Busy Readers

The tax commissioners are now try
ing to figure out what the maximum
levies should be under the new assess
ment. They hope to have the figures
in time to present to the legislature.
"The levies must be cut right down
to the bone,' said Mr. drummer, "in
order to complete the machinery Of
the new tax law. Local taxing Off
GERS must be curbed when it comes to
fixing the levies. If they are not, the
whole law will fall to the ground.
The people of Kansas are in favor of
an equitable assessment, but they are
not in favor of paying million dol
lars more in taxes than is needed, just
because tax officers don't know how
to figure"
The legislature, no doubt, will cut
the levies. 1t probably will profit by
its experience in ignoring the recon-
mendations Of the tax commission last
year, and pay some attention this time
as to what the commission says on
that subject. If it doesn't afford some
relief in the matter the people, two
years hence, are liable to send a leg
islature here that will.
Ex-Congressman Bowersock Of LAW
renee says that If the legislature
doesn't limit the levies this winter, he
will run for governor two years hence
on the tax issue and he believes that
the people will flock to his support.

Liens in Chester are Many.

Chester, Special.-At your corre-
spondent request Mr.. T. j. Corn
we'll, the efficient and accommodate
ing deputy clerk of Court, assisted
by Mr.. S. E. Wylie, county treasurer,
who manipulated the adding machine
and rendered valuable help otherwise
has computed the number of agricul-
tural liens in force in Chester county
this year, as recorded OH the books
In the clerk of Court s office. The
number of such papers to date, ex-
elusive of the great number that are
never recorded, is 2,287, and the
amount of Indebtedness contracted
by the parties who have given these
liens is $472 2,969.54, though in many
cases, and, in fact, the majority of
cases, it is stated in the lien that
the lien may be extended to a certain
other figure, which is named. Mr..
Cornwell concludes that the amount
given as the total of all liens in Ches-
ter county may safely be increased
by one-half, to give the exact amount
of moneys and supplies advanced OH
the lien system. The amended
amount will be in the neighborhood
OF sos, ,454.31, making with what is
advanced on unrecorded liens and
chattle mortgages about one million
dollars in the way of crop credits
for Chester county outside of open
accounts.

floors of the building-old samples,

should be made of it. The matter
was mentioned to several of the farm
ers of the county who have had cot
ton stored in the ware house, and it
was suggested that the cotton be got
ten together, baled and sold and the
proceeds given to the hospital. This
suggestion met will the approval of
all of the patrons of the ware house
and will be followed out. Mr.. Wake
field said that the cotton will be got
ten up and baled up within the next

little more than a bale, and the gift
will amount to something at present
prices, and will be appreciated by the
