III Name Is Registered II Cannot be

County Clerk H. w. King has had
In his possession now for some time
complete sets OF blanks, applications,

names, made possible by an act Of the
last legislature.
This law gave the county clerk the
power to register the names Of farms
/ for all Of the farmers who wanted
their farm names registered. This is
to protect the farmer. When a farm
er gets record for raising brooded
livestock or poultry he usually adj
vertises his farm as the home OF the
blCoded stock by name and before
the new law was passed any other
person could get q small tract Of land,
name It the same as the live stock
breeder and sell scrub stock to the
unsuspecting people.
The new law will protect these
farmers and breeders from their
more INSCRIPTIONS competitors. II
Twill also cause the Kansas farmers,

BILLIARD FINDS MORE TROUBLE
Case at Tampa Resembles the HamP-
/ tom Disgrace.

salina, Aug. 4.-Dr. 3. B. billiard,
superintendent of the Kansas Home
Children,s Society returned last night
from Tampa where he has been In
vestigating case similar to the one
lin which Mrs. Hampton at Abilene
was concerned a few weeks ago.
In the Tampa case a twelve-year-
old girl has been driven from her
home by the cruelty Of her step
mother. 1t appears that the father,
who is a German-Russian and cannot
speak English, may not be much to
blame. AS near as DR.. billiard could
learn from the neighbors, the mother
has been giving all her care to her
own children who are younger anq
has badly mistreated her step-daugh-
ter.
The case was first called to the
attention of the neighbors by the
noise and trouble that had arisen at
the home and the little girl left and
has since been living with family
about a mile from her home. The
case has been left with J. 3. Buckley
the representative of the society at
Tampa, and an effort will be made
to secure control Of the girl II the
case Is as has been reported to MT
Dillard.s j II 4 IS ~ sgS3ss / ~
Another case that DR.. billiard in
vestigated while away was one II
which mother was taking her three
children over the country and mis-
treating them. There was also mar
in the case who is not the woman'i
husband. The probate Judge hal
Secured control of the youngest chile
and 1t is thought that the woman haf
been located at Lyons. The mar
shall there has been notified to hole
lher and the society win make an Ell
fort to find homes for the three
children if it is found that the moth
err is not a proper person to have
them in charge.
Dr.. billiard also placed sinai
hoy in a home at Hope while he wa
gone.

The Officers Of Abilene picked up

that they were destitute Of funds,
but could they once get back home
they would find many friends only
too glad to provide for them. The
officers here out Of kindness. dug
down in their own pockets and pro-
duced the necessary car fare and
placed them upon the west bound
train.
Now, the Salina Union comes out
with the following brutal renuncia-
Ition:
IA reciprocity agreement that
makes the United states-Canadian
measure pale away into insignitic-
ance, has Just been drafted BY ABB
llene and salina. In the salina1Abi-
lleue bill, however, dope fiends are
the only articles admitted free q

a man and woman, were picked
Iup in Abilene. They we're given 9

the police received word that two
horrible specimens Of dope fiends
a man and q woman, were Quarreline
near the Santa Fe depot. The poles
went to the scene, arrested them

Instead, they were given tickets e
Abilene, and placed on an easu

MAs KIDNAPPED BIZ! cYPsIEs.


The Harrington Times has q new
lstory Of the return Of Charles Mel
son who disappeared 80 mystericusly
from bic, home north Of Herington
last Sunday evening, and returned
almost exhausted Wednesday after
noon.
1t was a fascinating story he told
land circumstances lend the color Of
truth to the tale For the past week
band Of Gypsies has been camping
along the roadways between the
Smith place and woodbine, Sunday
evening the camp was near the Smith
farm. According to the interesting
narrative which Charles poured into
1.-The ears OF his benefactors, two hard
visaged men suddenly confronted
him in the pasture and took him
to their camp where he was kept
under close surveillance. The wan
dering tribe then started toward
IWoodbine, seldom taking their eyes
off the boy. Charlie kept his eyes
open for the slightest opportunity
to escape and 1t came to him yester'
day shortly after dinner near Shady
brook. His watchers grew some
what careless, and he slipped away
darted into q cornfield and sped
Ihomeward.
When the Gypsies were campinl
near the Smith place, there vert
seven wagons. The next day thel
stopped near Woodbine, there wer'
only four or five wagons. The Wood
'Ibine marshal went down and inter
viewed the men and made clos
search but there was no sign Of tn
boy. The theory is that the boy wa
