STORY OF A LOAN.
A Case Where the Statute Of Lin;ta
tions Was Not Considered.

~ SASo VOeSo INC oIAtuIo OF 1UOSt0.
tions Was Not Considered.
A we'll known Kansas banker told
a story the other day about the statute
of limitations. There is simile in it,
plus some good philosophy.
One day an old sOutherner walked
into this bankers Office. The south.
erner was typical gentleman Of the
old school, suave, courteous to the
point of punctiliousness and honorable
to degree Of martyrdom.
'What can do for your asked the
banker.
"Well," replied the southerner,
about thirty-f1ve years ago l loaned
man down south some money-not a
very big sum. told him that when
ever should need it I would let him
know and he could pay me the money.
l need some money now, so shall let
him know, and l would like to have
you transact the business for me-"
my good friend" replied the bank.
er, you have no claim on that money
You can't hold that man to that loan.
You say it has been thirty-6ve years
since you loaned it to him? The
statute of limitations has run against
that loan years and years ago."
"Sir," replied the southerner, "the
man to whom I loaned that money is
a gentleman. The statute Of limita.
tons never runs against a gentleman"
So the banker sent for the money,
and within d reasonable time there,
after the money came. There was q
courtly gentleman at the other end of
the transaction also. - Kansas City

Farmhouses Are Built OF Turf and
Often Have Earthsn Floors. 7,
The guest room in the Iceland farm
house contained a narrow bed, q big
round table and an organ made in
Brattleboro, vt. Our host produced
the usual box Of SNUFF and with it a
box Of good cigars.
The host and hostess then showed
US all over the house. 1t is a turf
structure and is typical of the older
farmhOuses, with narrow, dark, win.
dOwless corridors winding in laby-
rinthian maze from room to room
One passageway leads to a large open
mound where a fire is made to smoke
meat and fish and incidentally the
whole house and everything in it. An
other passage leads to another kitchen
with modern stove. The walls are
all Of turf, as is the roof, with just
enough driftwood in the roof to make
a framework to hold it in place. Very
steep stairs lead up to the badstofa,
or sleeping apartment. The badstofa
frequently forms the sitting and COM
mon workroom of the family, espe-
cially in winter, as well as the sleeping
room of the entire household.
Bunks built into the wall extend
around the room and are often filed
with seaweed or feathers, over which
is thrown fold or two Of wadmal
and a thick coverlet of eiderdown.
The floors are sometimes covered with
boards. but more often consist of damp
earth. From the ceiling are suspended
numerous articles of domestic econ
omy. while large chests containing
clothing and valuables are scattered
throughout the house.-Springfeld Re-

Trees and Wind.

The effect +of wind upon trees is
powerful. Even the presence or alb
sence Of forests may be determined
by the character of the prevailing
wind or the conditions that modify it.
The wind acts as a drying agent, Civ
ing a special aspect to many plants.
When it is almost always from the
same quarter the plants show greater
development upon one side. Trees are
smaller on the windward edges Of for.
ests, and trunks and branches are
bent to leeward. The determinations
are most marked near the sea or In
fat regions. The cherry, plum, wal
nut, black poplar. ash and certain
pines are very sensitive to the wind.
but mountain pines and certain frs
offer great powers Of resistance, and
these are recommended for reforesting
wind swept lands

az desire to call your attsntion
to the provisions of the law passed
at the last session Of the Legislature
relative to the consolidation Of
schools. The law has several features
that are an Improvement over the
original law.
1.-THE petition for consolidation will
require rs per cent Of the voters Of
the school district, but the PROPOSE
ton requires a majority Of those
voting upon it instead of q majority
of all the ,oters in the district. The
proposition may be submitted In such
way that it will 60 into effect II

part Of the district board to provide

the pupils living two or more miles
from school by the usually Travelled
road, in safe and comfortable con-
veyances.
Amy district may be consolidated
with a district containing a graded
school by such district voting to be
annexed to the graded school dis
trIct and by the district board Of
the district containing the graded
school approving of such annexation
This provision will be found ve"y
convenient, as districts containiry

law does not 60 into effect until IT,

TUBERCULosIs SERMONS.
Sunday, April 80, All Ministers to
Preach ON the Subject.

Ministers all over Kansas will be
asked to base their sermons upon
the subject Of tuberculosis Sunday,
April 80. The executive committee
Of the Kansas Association for the
study and prevention Of tuberculosis
met yesterday and reached this de-
cision.
The members Of the executive
committee are DR.. c. H. Lerrigo Of
Topeka, chairman; DR.. J. L, Eber-
hardy, Leavenworth; 3. T. Fair
child, State Superintendent; Mrs. B.
B. Smythe, of Topeka, and W. L.
A. johnson, State Labor Commission
er.
The committee will ask every min
lister to preach about the Great White
Plague. 1t VIII also arrange for the
distribution of prizes among the
school children of the cities of the
first class who write essays on tuber-
culosis. The committee raised a
prize fund Of 1920 yesterday. There
are twelve cities of the first class
in Kansas and there will be ten dol
lars for the children OF each city.
The plan is to have the children
write their essays after listening to
the sermons on tuberculosis. The
school child in city Of the. first
class writing the best essay VIII be
given a prize of IS, the one writing
the second best will receive SO and
the one writing the third best VIII
receive 50. Probably the chief idea
in this is to get the school children
to hear to discussion Of the subject
and to think about 1t by writing
about It.
In fact the whole movement start
ed by the committee has for its pur-
pose the education Of the people OF
the state to the fact that tuberculo-
sis may be prevented and that in
its earlier stages 1t is durable, The
state board of health has been re-
sponsible for great campaign that
has been waged along this line for
the last four years. 1t has had good
results, but those interested do not
believe that the people Of the state
are yet fully awake to the pcssibili-
ties of protecting themselves from
the nations worst affliction.

Official notices Of annual school
meetings IN all the districts In Dick
inson county have been sent out BY
M! r. Aumiller, county superintend-
emit.
The time Of meeting this year Will
be- Friday. April IA, at 2 o'clock IN
the afternoon. and In the future the
annual meetings viii be held the Sec
ond Friday in April instead Of the
third tuesday in July, which mas
been the custom for several years
until the date was changed by the
last session Of the Kansas legisla-
ture. s
The time for the annual meetingF
was changed principally for the rca-
SON that whatever improvements .
district might vote to make, would
not interfere with the school term,
Several OF the district schools IN
Dickinson county have been handi-
capped because Of the improvements
ordered at the annual meeting IN
July, because in many instances 1t
was impossible to complete the work
and have the building in readiness
for the commencement Of the fan
term, necessitating the postponement
OF the fall opening. The earlier
meeting date will do away with that
bad feature. as the work may be
ordered and completed easily before
the fall term. .a
Another good feature Of the earl
Ter meeting is that the districts may
select their teachers early ana the
teachers nor the districts will be
kept in suspense, and this will also
give the teachers whose schools 40
not convene until fall an opportunity
to teach summer school, and have
the knowledge as to just how long
they may remain with other employ
ment aside from teaching.
At the annual meeting the dis
tricts all decide the date Of CON,
mencement for the fall term. An
other reason for the early meetings
was to keep from disturbing the
farmers after they are in the midst
Of harvest.
Under the new law the farmers
will make the improvements in their
school property before harvest s.A'S'
At the annual meeting April II q
proposition will be submitted to m
crease the amount Of money that
may be levied for school purposes
for the ensuing school year for each
district, from three and one-hali
mills on the dollar to seven mills OF
any less number Of mills as WIN pro-
duce the sum Of money voted in each
district for the maintenance Of each
school during the succeeding year
