Kansas Wins Point in Suit.

Garden City, Kan.-Kansas has won
the second point in the suit for the
waters of the Arkansas river. Judge
Finer at Denver sustained eXecu'
tons of the Kansas companies to the
multitude of claims set up by the
Colorado companies as to irregularities
and family troubles among the Kansas
irrigating companies in the Arkansas
valley. The case will now be tried on
the merits and the effect of the court
action is that the Kansas plaintiff COM
NAMES have good cause. The first
noint won some months ago was when
Judge Riner overruled the demurrer
filed by the Colorado companies and
said then Kansas had a good case. II
will probably be some months before
actual trial as further replies and an
swers must be made in the suit. The
present suit is that of Kansas irrigat-
Ing companies IN the Arkansas valley
for their share of the river water IN
the ground that Colorado companies
having later decrease and priorities
have gradually taken away the water
leaving Kansas companies without ade-
ouate supply. The case is important
because it is the first real test as to
federal control of interstate streams

Watch Out for Poor Seed.

Topeka, Kan.-That trouble is now
threatened in the Kansas corn belt
because of the poor quality of seed
corn raised last year is the opinion
expressed by Secretary F. D. Coburn
of the State Board of Agriculture, Sec
rotary Coburn says the situation is Sc
rious and that the only way to help it
is for each corn raiser to take imme-
date steps to secure first class seed
corn, then test it thoroughly before
he plants it. Poor seed corn found In
Kansas is due to weather conditions
during the growing season last year.
The corn did not develop properly.
Corn growers over the state who have
tested out the seed raised last year
find that much of it is not produc-
tive; that it will not terminate, hence
is dangerous to the corn industry Of
Kansas if planted this spring.

large numbers of the peasantry in the
governments of Perm. Uja and Viatka
have fallen into a state OF paganism,
worshiping the ancient gods. Flor and
Lavra. There are now 10000 idola-

Local officials say that the worship
of Flor and Lavra had never totally
disappeared from these districts, but
assumed alarming proportions after
the bad harvests of the past three
years. The pagan priests who still
fingered IN remote districts carried
on active propaganda among the peas

ra sent bad harvests as a sign Of
anger.
The consequence was that many

Topeka, Kan.-EXperts estimate that
so far as the state institutions are
the fuel problem is solved
for the next sixty-five years. 1t is es-
timated that the coal mines at the
state penitentiary will not be worked
out for that length of time, what the
state is trying to do is to get the coal
rights to sufficient land to insure
plenty of coal for at least 100 years.
"A good coal mining company wouldn't
think Of proceeding without coal for
one hundred years" said Warden j.
x. Codding, land we ought to nave
coal rights sufficient for that over at
the penitentiary. We are running the
mine over there the same as we would
company mine and it ought to be on
the same business basis. With the coal
living under the Missouri river and un-
der the island that belongs to the
state we have sufficient in sight to
run for sixty-five years. That is fig
uring it upon the basis of the present
needs of the state Institutions"

Lawrence, Kan.-Holding that the
exercise of the power of injunction in
the case of the state against the board

would be negotiable, Judge c. A.
Smart in the Douglas county district

rey General Dawson and placed con-
struction on the school statutes per-
hitting the use of supplementary texts
in all schools. This unfavorable op'n-
