Improvement of Kansas were discussed
by officers of the Kansas Development
association at a meeting in Kansas
City. Kan. Representatives of the state
Organization-wh-ch to the state what
commercial clubs are to cities-mapped

that will be submitted al the next session

800 900 for state ldvertising work, to
be expended by a state development
league or a state immigration commits
sion, will be one of the things the as
ISOLATION will ask the legislature for
The idea of this will be to provide a
fund to exploit the advantages of Kan
sas and attract new residents-immi-
grants and thers-to this state.
The association also is working to
have established county experiment
stations FOR agricultural work where i'm
proved methods of farming may be
taught. Another matter the associa-
ton is urging is the promotion of good
roads work by the amendment of the
state constitution. This would involve
the establishment of a state highway
commission and a state highway en-
gineer.
In its legislative program the assoc
citation also will include the town adj
vertising tax which would give to
municipalities the right to levy in their
annual budget a tax designed for NUM-
cipal advertising and thus promote the
welfare of communities.
This would obviate the somewhat
tedious and unfair plan now of passing

secretary of the association. said 1T

the business development of the city by
putting a part of the burden on the

ures agreed upon to the legislature
Mr.. F'axon declared that what formerly
were little backward towns in Kansas
now are becoming real cities, enterpris-
ing and wideawake
Even towns of only a few tn usand
in Kansas now have the metropolitan

streets, city water. street cars. active
business and city ideas instead of town
ideas are apparent all through Kansas. !
In many cases, even the fan -ners in the
country are little more than the subur-
ban residents of the cities. They go
back and forth from their homes to the /
cities in their motor cars and they are
helping build the cities.

distributing CON

gas fields and by distributing COM
panies in cities. The judge directed
them to take steps at once to prevent
this waste.
The Kansas Natural is to furnish
the gas at a metered rate to all local
companies as soon as the receivers
comply with the order of the court
giving the cost of furnishing gas a.
the gates of each city. The receivers
reported that in several cities in the
gas belt the street lights burned all
day because it was cheaper to burn
them than to turn them out. The re
c@ivers also reported that large
smelters which consumed more gas
than hundreds of individuals were re
ceiving it at a much lower rate than
private persons.
The plan outlined by the court is to
treat all consumers alike so far as the
Kansas Natural is concerned and con-
serve as much as possible the gas for
the use for domestic consumers.
The receivers began the investiga-
ton ordered by Judge Pollock and will
endeavor to have report by the last
of November when the report will be
filed. Each local gas company will
then know just what it must pay for
gas and will be in a position to inform
the people of that city the amount
they must pay for the product.

started to drive to town. taking his
wife with him in a buggy. His mother
had just died and he and wife We're

they passed a neighbours house, a COW
jumped a fence and a team belonging
to the neighbor, and hitched to a NOW
ing machine, took fright and ran
away
Mr.. Woods saw the runaway, but too
late to pull out of the road. AS the
frightened horses dashed past, they
ran so close to the buggy that two
wheels were smashed and Mr.. and
Mrs. Woods both thrown out. \
broken spoke gouged a fearful wound
in Mr. Woods leg and his wife was
badly shaken up. The Woods horses
stampeded and started to follow the
team with the mower. The sickler
bar was down and the rear team soon
caught up and got their front feet
over the sickle. One horse had both
front feet cut off and the other was
crippled. The moving machine was
demolished. About the only actor in
the tragedy that seemed to escape with
a whole skin and no inconvenience
was the old COW.
