SOUGHT MULLET
GOT BUCk-SHOI

Quong ing today represents a per
ambulating lead mining claim, as he
sought for prospectors to delve for
the metal, now planted in various
parts of his anatomy.
The Chinese appeared at the police
station this. morning as a result OF
the casting of the drag-net. He is
charged with having unlawfuiiy visit
ed the fish pond. the property of Chi
nese gardeners in Waikiki.
The owners of the fishery rights
were awakened at very early hour
by a noise that sounded suspiciously
like someone making a haul uf the
finny tribe.
Armed with rice gun. which hap
pened to be loaded, the fish pond pro-
prietors sailed forth and soon came
upon Quang ing, who, they allege,
was industriously plying a seine and
reaping a piscatorial harvest. 49,. ,
Both barrels filled with buckshot
were discharged, and Judging from
outward appearances, something less
than a hundredweight Of leaden pei
lets found Judgment in the Quang ing
features and body.
The leaden hail, while proving ex-
ceedingly painful, was not considered
as serious in its effects. The Chi.
nese was taken to a physician, who
finally agreed to conduct mining OPP
erations on the Quang ing claim on
the installment plan. >.
When the nocturnal visitor at Wal
kiki fish ponds sufficiently RECEIVERS
from the shock and is released from
the painful operation by the Goctorsj
ne will be brought before the police
court tribunal to answer a charge,
which, however, will not be fired from
double-barreled shotgun.

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES

The jersey, long a popular adjunct
in the outfit of enlisted men, has come
under the ban of the United States
navy, and will be tabOoed after July
| next, when it will be superseded
by the blue flannel shirt, hitherto pre-
scribed only for chief petty officers,
bandsmen and officers stewards and
cooks. Owing to it's thickness it was
found difficult to wash the jersey and
dry it, whereas the laundering Of the
flannel shirt is comparatively easy.
The navy department has commend
ed Walter J. Dorsey, mess attendant,
third class, United States navy, of
the L. s. S. Louisiana, for his self
sacrificing conduct in volunteering to
donate his blood to save the life Of a
shipmate, Samuel Riley, steerage
steward, who was apparently in a dy-
ing condition as a result of illuminat-
ing gas poisoning. Rileys life was
saved by this TRANSMISSION of blood.
Dorsey enlisted at Baltimore, Md,
and has been in the service about
eighteen months. Both Dorsey and
Riley are COlOred.

1t win be a sad jolt to read some
of the figures that explain the high
cost OF articles Of food that used
to be much cheaper. Every produce
man last spring was talking about
the big impOrtations of potatoes
from abroad. Europe, without even
the big Russian fields, produces
twelve times as many potatoes as
the United States, and has but forty
five per cent Of the area.
The German farmer, and probably
tie near future will find the same
thing true over at Sylvia, has much
finer cattle since he took to raising
the sugar beet. The cattle and the
homemade sugar are but side issues
t. the enriched soil, according to the
expert. Space forbids using all Of
Mr.. Hemmingway's article, but the
beet raiser will read it, and others
who read twill want to raise
beetsl

WORDS FROM HOME.
Statements That May Be lnvestigat-

Citizens.

When a Great Bend citizen comes
to the front, telling his friends and
neighbors Of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such tes-
timony is convincing. Investigation
proves it true. Below is a statement
OF a Great Bend resident. No stronge,
proof of merit can be had.
James Kepple, retired farmer, 1923
Morton St., Great Bend, Kans., says:
Il know that Doan's Kidney Pills
are a remedy of merit. My kidneys
gave me considerable annoyance and
the kidney secretions were too fire,

kRd would revert to the state, that
it could be re-sold to new parties.
The new land law has been passed
upon by the supreme court-the very
feature involved in the present tangbe
and the court held that it was as
sound as a dollar. Mr.. Davis believes
there are many cases where the land
holders are innOceEtly at fault and
where in the cause Of justice there
should be no forfeiture. But the law
appears to tie him up and to prohibit
him from issuing patents even in
such cases. 1t may be necessary for
the legislature next winter to look
into the matter.

SHORTAGE OF HOGS NOW.
Cholera and Scarcity Of Corn Redue.
ed the country's Supply.

The country is experiencing a short
age of hogs such as it has not had
for years The shortage was caused,
in part, by the high price Of corn,
which was the result Of the drOuth
last summer, and by the great scourge
Of hog cholera. The relative price of
corn and hogs has been such for the
last three Of four years that frequent
ly the farmer was tempted to sell
the corn rather than raise hogs.
THE loss. from cholera in all the
hog states last fall and winter was
the heaviest ever known" said H. ].
Waters president Of the Kansas Ag-
ricultural College. And the spread
ing Of the disease caused thousands
Of hogs to be forced on the market
in an unfinished condition. They we're
thin and light. Hogs that should not
have been marketed until they were
made to weigh 225 pounds or more
We're marketed when they weighed
$50 pounds or less.
Many brood sows were sold, so
that the number of fall pigs was less
than usual These pigs will not be
ready for market until midsummer or
next fall. The spring pig crop was
the poorest in many years. The sows
were weak and the weather was bad,
causing a heavy loss ranging From 20
to IS per cent of the pigs farrOwed.
The average of the country this
spring probably would be less than
five pigs from every SOW.
1T will take a good corn crop next
fall and two years breeding to bring
the hog supply back to the normal
Heavy and very fat hogs are selling
at premium now, as they always dc
when corn is scarce or when there is
a shortage Of hogs. There is a short
age of lard and heavy sides"
Twelve Berkshire sows owned by
the college, farrowed 1OS pigs this
spring. They raised 50, making an
average of about seven pigs from
every SOW. Thirteen Duroc sows far
rowed 1872 pigs. The Duroc sOwS
raised 1O1, or almost eight pigs from
every SOW. Six Poland CHA sowS
farrowed 40 and raised 80, averaging
slightly fewer than five pigs raised
from every SOW. The total number
of pigs narrowed was 27S; the mum
Der reared, PIP. The highest number
narrowed by any SOW was 10. TIT
SOW. a DurOS, raised 10 of the 70, Blu
two Of the other DurOcs and on,
Berkshire raised 10, also. One Berk
shirn and one Poland China SOW
raised only two of the three pig
that each farrowed.

TO KILL INSECTS IN GRAIN BINS

A few cents worth of carbon BIZ
sulphide will kill the insects hiding
il the cracks of your bins waiting for
the new grain. Right now, before
threshfng begins, is the time to clean
out and fumigate these store rooms
in the granary. Insects injurious to
stored grain, says G. A. Dean, a bug
specialist at the Kansas Agricultural
College, work so vigorously that the
farmer must either kill them, dis
pose Of his grain, or sit still and al
low them 30 damage it. Killing thest
