the financial stress under which the
emperor Of Germany finds himself

The public is reminded that the
Prussian crown surrendered to the
state in 1920 properties yielding at
hat time nearly $4,000 0O annually,
and the value of which has been
greatly augmented since. The in
creased cost of living renders the
present allowance inadequate, the

FARM ron PETTY OFFENDERS.

Petty offenders in Los Angeles will
hereafter contribute their mite toward
reducing the cost of living. The city
fss adopted for them the slogan Of
back to the land" Los Angeles has
bought suburban farm. and petty Of
tenders will there work out their sal
walton instead of lying idly and un-
profitably in the city Jail. There are
several good points about this plan. 1t
ought to relieve the taxpayer from CIV
ing support to worthless idlers. At the
same time 1t will probably put curb
upon the inclination now manifested
by the hobo class to seek cheap food
and lodging at the expense Of the city
through the committing of some petty
offense. Should each offender of this
sort be required to work his way, he
might decide to embrace free instead
of forced labor. The suburban farm,
too. will probably do something for
the petty offender. especially If his
trouble is due to some phase of alco-
holism. Fresh air and sanitary sur
roundings with healthful activity
might serve as kind of liquor cure,
says st. Paul Dispatch. Who knows
but 1t might be means OF training
agricultural labor so much needed in
rural communities?

FEWER NEW BUILDINGS.
Kansas Board of Control Spends Less
Than During Previous Year.

Than During Previous Year.
Topeka.-Figures given out by the
state board OF control for the fiscal
years just closed show that the nine
charitable institutions were run last
year for $164,33 less than for the
previous year. This saving Is due to
the fact that not as many new build
ings were erected at those institutions
during the past year as the year be-
fore. The balance sheet shows that
there is an unexpended balance Ur
$11 ,482.62 in the salary funds, $685.
672.40 in the maintenance funds, $685.
1898 in the fee account funds ana
$45,52418 in the coal funds, total
Of $193,071.79 unexpended in the cur
rent funds Of the nine institutions. An
OF this money was appropriated for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1910,
but was not needed and was there
fore not drawn out of the state treas
ury. In addition to this there Is an
unexpended balance Of $36,080.52 in
the special funds of the nine institu-
lions for buildings and improvements,
which was appropriated for the fiscal
year ending June 20, 1910.
Not only are there these unexpend-
ed balances, but the total amount ex-
pended for all purposes was less than
for the previous year. The total
amount expended by the nine state
charitable institutions for all pur-
poses for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1909, was $1,O47, S79,97 and for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1910, $685.
546.57 was expended, difference OF
$164,333.40.

the board, with the approval Of the
governor, to fix at the beginning of
each fiscal year the annual or month
