BUSINESS NOTES.

The Western Electric Co. will show
total gross sales for the year ending
NOV. 30, that will reach $6i 100000,
according TO indications from the pre-.
liminary reports. This is the highest
mark attained since 1906. when the
gross sales were more than $69,000,.
600 The chief business OF this com
pany is the supply OF the electric APP
paratus for the Bell telephone sys-
TENS. The growth in the gross sales
is ascribed to the new uses TO which
the telephone has been put. notably
in train dispatching and in forest fire
protection.
President E. r. Stettinius, of the
Diamond Match Co, has issued q
statement explaining the recently an.
nounced financial plan Of the com.
pany. The plan suggested is an issue
of 100000 OF convertible deben-
lures, running for ten years and con-
vertible into stock of the company at
par on or before Dec. 10, 1915. This
Is not new financing, but the issue
will provide for the redemption Of a
like amount of shortterm notes and
coupons that are about to fall due. A
successful issue OF these bonds will
leave a larger part OF the earnings
free from the payment Of dividends
on the stock The question OF the
new bond issue will come before the
stockholders in their annual meeting,
Dec. 5. The debentures will first be
offered TO the stockholders In proper
ton 10 their holdings.

WOMEN TOLL FOR A CHURCH.
Fourteen Have Cornhuslzing Bee to
Raise Funds

White City, Kan, Dec. 12.-Four-
teen women, including wives OF mer-
chants, clerks and school teachers,
marched into a corn field near this lit
tie Morris county town few days
ago and husked thirty-two bushels OF
corn, which was later sold on the street
at auction for $25. The money went
to the Christian church of White City.
This husking bee occurred on the
farm of Charles Walker, a few miles
west of White City. Mr. Walker agreed
to give the women an acre of corn IL
they would go into the field and gather
it. 1t was novel scene when the
fourteen women, following two wagons,
appeared at the farm for the days
work. There were seven women to
each wagon and the spirit of rivalry
was manifest between the two crews.
Hair did not fly, but corn husks ana
oratory did. A merchants wife and
bankers wife were assigned the
down rows but they accomplishing
~ waded into 1t and kept up with the
wagon.
1t was lively scene all along the
line. Clerks tossed half-shucked ears
of corn at the wagon box only TO BAT
rosy-cheeked teachers who were peg
ging away at the other side of the
wagon, and vice versa. But no one
became angry, for all were working in
a good cause.

TAwNEY WILL GO TO PRISON.
Convicted of Stealing Pigs While Wife
Receivers From Attack.

Ottawa, Kan, Dec. 12.-Bert. raw
ney must serve a. term in the Kansas
penitentiary. The last decision In the
famous "Tawney hog stealing case IN
the district court here was affirmed
by the state supreme court. 1t was
the third time the supreme court had
passed upon the case. Twice the de-
cision of the lower court was reversed
and the case remanded for new hear
ings. Tawney has been tried before
Judge c. A. Smart in the district court
here three times, each resulting in a
conviction and sentence from one to
five years in the penitentiary.
The case is one of the most unique
in the history of the state. Tawney
was arrested May 81, 1907, charged
from a neighbor. The pigs were found
at the home of Mrs. Tawney's brother.
In the trial which followed, their value
was estimated at from 80 cents to 81 SO
each. Tawney was convicted at the
September term following his arrest.
The case was reversed in the fall of
1908. The following January ne was
tried q, second time, with a conviction.
The case was reversed by the supreme
court the following fall. Last January
it was tried third time here and
Tawney convicted. The affirmation
probably will end the matter. When
he heard the decision Tawney ap-
peared depressed.
''We1l, 1 guess she's got me where
she wants me-" was his only remark.
It is inferred he was referring to his
wife. In all the trials she testified
that she took the pigs as spitework,
and that her husband was not party
to the trouble. Last spring she filed
an affidavit with the officials here, say
ing that her testimony at the three
trials were false. She also filed suit
for divorce, but this was dismissed
Tawney is at present confined in the
city Jail, held on a charge of assault
on his wife with intent to kill. Mrs.
Tawney is at the home of her mother
in Rantoul, with a bullet in her head,
and still is in a dangerous condition.
At the time she was found shot Taw-
ney was discovered with his throat
slashed. The decision probably will
put a stop4to the assault case.

NAMES LACK SIGNIFICANCE.
Titles of Schools Strangely Contradict
Neighborhoods and Conditions.

Hutchinson. Kan, Dec 12.-Who
| names all the school districts in the
country? Generally school districts
are numbered. and in some Kansas
counties these numbers run up to 80.
Practically every district in this state
has name, but there is nothing on
record at the Office of the county super
intendent to show where the names
come from.
! There is not necessarily any signifi-
canoe in a name. For instance, down
| in the south part of Reno county is
| the Sam Hill district. No one knows
| why it is called "Sam HILL" for there
never lived in the district a citizen by
that name. On first thought one would
think that the Sam Hill school was
hard to manage, but that is not true,
for it is one of the really progressive
schools of the county, and the young
women who have taught there speak
| of the pupils as ideal children. This
| may be because there are only six en-
rolled for the present term.
A few miles to the northeast of the
| Sam Hill school is one with the peace
| full name of Sylvan Grove, and there
are twenty-four pupils enrolled. But
names are frequently apt. Prosperity

OKLAHOMA GAS FOR KANSAS.
Pipe Line From lola to Sister State
Now COmDIeted.

lola, Kan, Dec. 12.-Announcemen emit
has been made of the completion of
the Portland Gas and Pipe Line COM
pany's main from lola to the gas fields
distance of 126 miles. The compile
ton is of importance to the entire
southwest, as it means an adequate
supply of fuel for the cement plants
and factories of this section.
The drain on the Kansas gas field
by domestic lines and the enormous
consumption of factories has proved
more than the local fields could stand
and the fuel problem has been the
most serious one confronting cement
manufacturers. The cement industry
is one of the main spokes in the wheel
of industry in the southwest and the
fear that the fuel supply would give
out, as it has shown a tendency to do,
has been the cause of much apprehen-
sion lest some of the big plants should
shut down.
Some of the factories have found the
gas supply insufficient already and
have been obliged to use coal, a much
more expensive fuel Rather than
use it, some of the plants cut down
production almost to the minimum
The new line to the Oklahoma field,
an 18-inch main, cost 81 10000 The
supply now will be more than the de-
mand, it is believed The laying of the
line was accomplished with difficulty,
OWING 10 the rock SOli anu Illt HlllS
of Oklahoma, and entrance into that
state was delayed greatly by legal
barriers which Oklahoma at first
placed in the way.
A little more than two years ago, the
factories found the local gas supply
becoming inadequate and built pipe
lines in the Montgomery and Neosho
county fields. This supply was not suf-
f1cient to assure a permanent source
of fuel and it was decided TO build on
into Oklahoma. The forty miles of
pipe which remained to be laid from
Montgomery county to Oklahoma have
been put in since September. Cement
plants at Independence, lola, LeHunt
and Neodesha will ali be connected
with the new gas supply.
