The big pump that was ordered by
the city some time ago from the Ep-
ping Carpenter Company, of Pitts
UuIgh, will reach here in a day or
two. This is a duplex cross com.
pound fly wheel condensing machine
and will have a capacity of 100000
GALLONS CT water every twenty-four
hours. The pump is completely
equipped with all necessary gauges
and oiling apparatus. 1t will cost
$4,000 erected and tested on the
foundation that is already prepared
for its installation
As soon as the pump arrives ex.
perts from the factory will be sent
here TO erect 1t. City Engineer S. D..
Miller has had the foundation com.
pleted and the bolts set for several
days. In connection with this work
he has laid concrete floors throughout
the engine and boiler. rooms. Mr.
Miller also has suspended the sue
ton pipe in the river So that all will
be necessary along that line will be
to make the connection between the
pump and the suction pipe.
Foundation Is Ready.
The pump will be placed In the
large building erected about two
years ago. Provision was made at
that time for the erection of an add.
tIonal pump. The new one will be
set three feet lower SO that II will
be able TO Cake care of the city should
the pool become too low for the other
pump to work. This event Is not
likely TO occur, but 1t is possible, and
Engineer Miller is preparing for any
emergency that might present itself
in the future.
The new pump Is OF the same capn.

more economical in its operation and
more effective in its work.
When. the company erected the
pump that the city has Just purchased

visitors from other cities who were
looking for pumps for municipal wat.
er plants went to see 1t In operation
and many pumps were sold on the
strength of their seeing the monster

No Uncertainty About Supply.
From this time on there will be no
uncertainty about Fairmont's water
supply. 1t will only be matter of n
few weeks when the new pump will
be installed and in working order.
The present pump is sufficient for the
needs Of the city. but IL 1t were to so
cut OF commission there would be
nothing 10 fall back on. This feature
Will he eliminated when the second
one is put TO work.
Fairmont will then have a supply
lnequaled in the state. The heavy
pressure from the reservoir on Log
Cabin Hill and the illimitablc supply
from the Valley river will have some
effect on the fire insurance rates OF
Fairmont, 1t is said
Few residents OF Fairmont know
what plant the city has in its pump

FIRST DRAFT ON
GUARANTY FUND
Abilene Bank DepOsitors Have
Been Paid $4,000.
fLACK SHORTAGE THE CAUSE
State Bank Commissioner Sawyer Has
Made Final Settlement of the Az
fairs of the Wrecked Abb
lene Institution.

Topeka.-The first draft on the Kan
sas Bank Deposit Guaranty Fund since
it was started three years ago has
been made. Charles NJ. Sawyer, state
bank commissioner, has made the fl
nal settlement of the Abilene State
Bank, wrecked by John A. Flack.
1t cost the guaranty fund something
over $4,000 to pay the losses incurred
by the defalcations of Flack
The Abilene State Bank was one of
the first of those to come into the
guaranty fund when the 1909 legisla-
ture enacted the law.
The forgeries and defalcations. of
Flack were never exactly known, but
they exceeded $4,000. Part of this
was in forged notes, for which the
bank was not responsible, and part of
it was in shortages to estates and as
sociations not directly connected with
the bank. When the state took charge
of the bank and of Flacks property
there was about $4,000 realized from
the property and the officials of the
bank made up enough money through
the double liability to reduce the total
claims to little over $4,000. The
advantageous sales of some of the
property held by the bank further re-
duced the total actual losses to a
little over 100000, which the bank
guaranty fund must pay.
AS soon as the total claims against
the bank by depositors were found
guaranty certificates were issued to
each depositor. Those who wished
their money, sold these certificates to
other banks and received cash. 9th
ers held to the certificates which
draw 6 per cent interest. By this
plan all the depositors who needed
ready cash were able to get it with
out delay or the sacrifice of a penny
of their deposits and those who held
the certificates had a nice investment.

the roadsides, in the meadows, pas
lures, ravines and waste places.
While the large majority of these
bugs will go into winter quarters in
clump-forming grasses and bluestem
growing along roadsides and fences.
in pastures and meadows adjacent to
infested corn, sorghum, kafir, milo.
etc., in some cases several may be
found alternating in lunches of grass
removed by considerable distances
from the infested fields. 1t is, there
fore, imperative for the farmer to find
out whether his grasses are harbor.
ing a dangerous number of bugs. This
can be determined by parting the
bunch grass and carefully examining
the mulch of soil and decayed grass
which usually gathers at the base
of the stems.
Experiments covering four years
show conclusively that the late fall
and early winter is the time to fight
the chinch bug. At this season or
during November and early December
they are congregated in the grasses
which grow along the roadsides, and
fences, in pastures, meadows, ravines
and waste places, and since 1t is an
easy matter for each farmer to burn
these off, it should be done just as
soon as conditions will permit of good
burning. In the greater part OF the
infested area this year the per cent
OF grass land on the farm is small
and every farmer can clean up his
place in days time and the cost is
practically nothing.
The great advantage of early win.
ter burning is that the farmer pro-
tects both his wheat and corn. Late
fall and early winter destruction has
been thoroughly demonstrated and

for the few bugs that are there will
die before spring.
lnasmuch as cooperative and thor.
ough work are very essential in order
to make the burning successful, every
county infested with the chinch bugs
should organize for a complete de-
struction of the winter quarters of
the chinch bug If the organization
is made county affair, supported and
encouraged not only by the county
commissioners, and the other county
officers, but by every township Off
cial, the results naturally would be
far more effective than If the work
Is taken up only locally. Every To-
cal organization, such as the Farm.
ers' Grange, the Farmers Institute.
the Farmers Union, the Anti-Horse
Thief Association etc, should lend its
support and help in making the work
effective. The several county and dis
trict farm demonstration agents, the
extension department men, and the
field agents Of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College will help in every
possible way in organizing for the
work.
The department of entomology
through its field agents, together
with the county and district demon
stration agents will keep in close
touch with the chinch-bug situation.
and just as soon as the bugs are in
their winter quarters and the proper
time has arrived for effective burn
ing, will notify the proper officials OF
the various organizations and will as
sist in every possible way 10 get the
work done at the right time.

Earl Akers, state treasurer, is plan
ming the creation of commission to
do the selling Of all securities of Kan.
sas municipal corporations, doing
away with the bond brokers. He also
would provide for the registration of
all Kansas securities, the same as
some classes of government bonds.
Akers would provide for the handling
of this business by the state at q
nominal fee of twenty-five cents a
$1,000. Thus a $4,000 bond issue
would net the state $3.50. The reve-
nue. from this source would go to the
general revenue fund of the state.
From $4,000 to $4,000 year would
be necessary to maintain the commits
sion. Under the plan as suggested by
the state treasurer, the treasurer,
auditor and attorney general would be
ex-officio members of the commission,
but would draw no extra salary for
their services. The state would pay
only for the extra clerical help and
that expense would be nominal.
Akers' plan would add half million
dollars year to the state funds.

Topeka-Kansas has ten miles Of
good roads now to one mile five years
ago, according to w. 8. Gearhart,
state highway engineer. And the
good roads movement is only started
in Kansas.
"They are building good dirt roads
in every county now" said Mr. Gear
hart. What is of more value is that
the roads are being built with some
object in view. In years past, the
building of roads was a haphazard
business. Now the county commits
sioners lay out their roads from the
outlying towns in the county to the
county seat, running through two or
more townships and the county then
pays a part of the building expense
and the township pays part and all
the road work of single year in those
townships is devoted to building this
one road. The next year the town.
ship builds connecting roads with the
main highway.
Until this plan was thoroughly
grounded in the minds of the county
and township officials there was no
chance for Kansas to get any con-
nected highways. AS the result of
the new plan Kansas now has many
thousand miles of improved dirt high
way that are kept up and in good
shape all the time.
There are dozen or more counties
in Kansas where one can drive hun
dred miles on improved roads and
never go over the same road twice,
just sort of belt line around the
country, connecting all the little
towns with the county seats and with
each other.
"The motor car license tax for the
maintenance of good roads is helping
to. increase the interest in road work.

dollars each to the eastern and cen.

In order to have William jennings

Democrats of Kansas will hold their
annual banquet, love feast and politi-
cal pow-wow January 3, instead of
Washingtons birthday, February %,
the usual time. The Kansas Demo
Gratis want to hear Bryan. Several
months ago they got promise from
him that he would talk to them at
their annual dinner next year. Re-
Gently Bryan informed the Kansans
that it would be impossible for him
to come to Kansas on Washington's
birthday, but that he could come jan
uary 8. So it was decided to move
up the date. The other speakers at
the dinner, as announced by Miles
Mulroy, chairman of the Kansas
Democratic Banquet Club, are Mrs.
Cora G. Lewis of Kinsley, member
of the state board of administration;
Gov. George H. Hodges and United
States Senator William H. Thompson.
Although nothing has been deter
mined along that line yet, it may be
that the Democratic state committee
will also hold it's meeting January 8.

The teachers want the rural school
system changed from the present dis
trict plan to at least township unit.
and If possible to county unit, where
one board of education will have
charge of all the rural schools in the
county. This would do away with all
weak school districts because of the
lack of railroad property in some sec
lions and it would also enable all the
rural schools of single county to
maintain the same standard of work
as is now done in the cities. The
teachers also favor free high schools
for every child in the rural districts.
