Over 1000 Corporations Must
File Statements.
Have Until August 20 to Com-
ply With Law.
SEC'Y SESSIONS WARNS
He Is Sending Word to All
DelinQuents.
Will Be August 10 Before En-
tire List is Checked Up.

More than 49, 900 delinquent corpor-
ations in Kansas are in danger of los
ing their charters on August 20. for
failure to comply with the law by fill
ing their annual statements with the
secretary of state.
Many of these concerns are dead
and gone already. But there are a
few still doing business in total dis
regard of the law which requires them
to file such reports showing their fin
ancial condition. This class must eth
er fish or cut bait and do it mig hty
quickly.
In order to clean up the state rec
ords and enable the corporation de-
partment to have a complete list of all
active corporations, the legislature
last winter passed a law to wipe out
all corporations which had been de-
linquent in filing such reports during
the past three years. The time limit
| is up on August 20. Those which fail
to get their reports in by that time
will be declared dead, by action of
law
While the law doesn't require It,
Secretary of State Sessions is taking
every means he can to advise the de-
linquent corporations of the fate that
soon awaits them if they longer per-
sist in violating the law.
In making up the list, it is barely
pOSSlDle lUdI now anu IHru a COIpOI-
alton may be included which has re-
ported In handling over $4,000 char
ters in a limited time an occasional
error necessarily will creep in. How
ever, it will be caught ir the final
check-up and the lawabiding corpor-
alton will have its charter protected.
Already three weeks time has been
spent in preparing the list of delin-
Quent corporations. The secretary of
states Office has only reached Reno
county in its report and omitted Mont
gomery county in the final checking.
With the heavy report from Montgom-
cry, Reno, Shawnee, Se6gwick and
Wyandotte counties yet to be compiled,
/ it is hardly probable the entire re-
] port will be finished before August 10.

& Iron stock as collateral, Mr.. Ogle-
bay was called to New York and par
ticipated in conferences leading up to
the absorption of the Tennessee conf
pany by the United States Steel corpo--
alton.
He declared it his opinion that the
sale was made to avert a financial
crash.

EIGHT DIE IN WRECK.
Excursion Train and a Regular Pas
senger Collide in Maine.

Grindstone. Me. July 29.-Eight per-
sons were killed and IA injured when an
excursion train and a regular passen-
ger train on the Bangor & Aroostook
road collided at this station shortly af-
ter o'clock last night.
Five passengers Of the excursion train
were kiued The engineer of the ex-
cursion train and two firemen were
also among the killed
The regular train was the heavier
and plowed its way through the lighter
excursion cars with comparatively. lit
tie injury to the regular passenger
The accident is said to have. been
due to a misunderstanding of orders.
The trains were to have passed at
Grindstone, but the excursion train
was about a minute late, and it is said
the regular did not wait.
In the smoking car of the excursion
trair next to the tender, were the
members Of the Pressure Isle band.
Owing to the isolation of the place
and the fact that the only telephone
wire running into the town was put
out of commission for a time by the
storm which ragged through northern
Maine, details were hard to obtain.

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM C. FREEMAN

The head of a Big Advertis-
ing Agency recently made a
strenuous fight before a Board
of Directors to get them to use
NEWSPAPERS TO BACK UP
LOCAL DEALERS in several
cities. He won.
The advertising of the COM
pany had previously been placed
almost wholly in magazines, but
the agency man RECOGNIZES
THE VALUE OF THE DAILY
NEWSPAPER in helping the To-
cal dealer to sell the produce of
the manufacturer.
The story he told me about
this newspaper campaign illus
trates in a most practical way
why it is that newspapers do
not get more national advertis-
ing.
Here i shis story:
THE advertising manager of the
company whose business I have
placed for several years wrote to
the local agent in each city inform
ing him that a newspaper campaign
had been decided upon and asked
him to select the newspapers In his
town which he thought should carry
the advertising.
The dealer replied, naming the
papers, but suggested that he, the
dealer, should be permitted to give
out the advertising BECAUSE HE
COULD GET BETTER RATES than
could.

THE ORIGIN OF TAPESTRIES
Decoration First Called "Wall Cloth
Ing" and Adorned the Hall on oc-
caslon Of Festival or Ceremony.

The custom Of draping our walls
with tapestries goes back to Anglo
Saxon times when wall clothing
adorned the hall on occasions Of high
festival or Of ceremony. These were
often enriched with representations OF
heroes or scenes from legends
wrought in purple and other colors
and were greatly esteemed as gifts or
legacies.
After the death Of Brithnoth, Ealder-
man of the East Saxohs, in the battle
Of Maldon in the year 994 his widow
executed a tapestry illustrating the
principal episodes in his life and pre-
sented It to the cathedral Of Ely, 30
that the record Of his achievements
might be preserved One Of the last
scenes must have been the grim strug

HELD UP BY LocUsTs.

An unusual experience was that OF
DR.. H. II, Clark, of Woodberry. N. j.,
one day recently Having a cali out
on the Fairview road, he took a short
cut through Almonesson. around on
the south side. AS he drew near tho
head Of the lake In his auto he heard
what he thought was a locomotive
whistle. He stopped his machine and
found the noise was made by locusts.
Driving on, he came into the thickest
Of the millions of the insects, which
flew on him until he was covered.
They bit him about the face. and even
through gloves TO his hands Stop
ping his machine again, he attempted
to shake them off. but they wouldn't
shake, and for some time he was in a
quandary. Finally he started his
machine and ground the insects by the
thousands. This caused the auto to
skid, and he had some difficulty In
getting clear OF the clouds OF insects.

Danoerous BacIIIi in Dust.

A statement issued recently by the
National Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis speaks Of
the dangers from house dust, espe
cially in rooms that are not well ven,
tilated. The association warns against
dry sweeping and against the use Of
the feather duster, or other devices
that scatter, but do not take up the
dust. Since the ordinary dust blown
about in the streets is impregnated
with disease germs, the National AS
sociation urged the adoption Of meth
DDS that will prevent the further dis
semination of such bacilli It also
urges for the coming months OF fall
and winter, more open windows and
more fresh air in house, shop ,ano
schoolroom.

THRUSH NESTS ON CAR TRUCK

When a certain freight car rolled
out of the railroad yard at East Bur

bye For weeks they had nested on
one Of the trucks Of the car. The
birds are indebted TO William South
wick, the yardmaster Four times a
switch engine had called for the
empty car and four times the yard
master had refused 70 let It go. He
had seen the thrush darting in and
out from the truck and had discov-
cred the nest with the six eggs. He
knew the moving of the car meant the
determination of the family and so he
made 1t wait until the mother hatched
the eggs and the fledglings could fly.

OLDEST WOMAN ON EARTH

It was recently claimed that the
oldest woman in tho world was Ma
dame Duskiewitz of Posen, who was
born on February 21, 1885. Now it
has been discovered that Bulgarian
ancient has a stronger claim. She is
Madame Bahabasiuka, who was born
In May, 1774, in the little village Of
Barelsko. There she has passed her
whole life. She remembers very well
syents which occurred in the early
days Of the last century, better in fact
than she does those of 40 years ago.
Her descendants number 100, and be-
tween them they make her little al
lowance. For nearly century she
was engaged in farm work.

WHERE THEY LIVE LONG

Suffolk, the eastern county of Long
Island, has always enjoyed a reputa-
ton for the longevity of its inhabit-
ants. This reputation seems to be
sustained by the figures Of mortality
collected by the Greenport Watchman
for the trying months Of January,
February and March, 1911. There
died in Suffolk county in those three
months rs persons between the ages
of 10 and 80; 81 between the ages Of
so and 80; II between 80 and 100, and
2 over 100.

Another Lie Nailed.

The report that Leonard Talbot led
the Fourth of July parade out into
the brush for the purpose Of showing
off his new house is unfounded 1t Is
true that Mr.. Talbot as marshal Of
the day headed the parade, and 1t is
also true that several hundred people
who lined Toppenish avenue, expect
ing naturally that the parade would
follow the main street of the town,
only caught a passing glimpse Of the
procession as It crossed the avenue
on its way to the suburbs.
However, Mr., Talbot had nothing
