ARE EATS" THERE
Sample FiendS Make a Meal at
MidWinter.
Pipe Collecting a Fad at Audi
tOrium Exposition.

The sample collecting fever has
reached it's height at the Kansas Mid
winter exposition at the Auditorium
Taking advantage of the small offer
ingS of the various booths is the de-
light of the kiddies, but this pastime
is not confined to the youngsters. There
are grown-ups that thoroughly enjoy
going around taking Il sip of sample
tea here and a hot pancake somewhere
else.
Not few persons figure that they
can more than make up for the price of
& omission by getting together collec-
tion of sample breakfast foods and
other articles of diet to last for several
days. OF course these persons belong to
the class whose purses are not bullying
through surplus of coin Then there
are those who have been able TO enjoy
a whole meal at the MidwiEter by
going first to one and then to another
booth and INDUCING in samples of good
things to eat.
Tuesday evening of this week several
persons purchased miniature pipes at
one of the booths; it was not long be-
fore there Il run on the booth
and almost every other person you met
was marching around the hall with a
pipe protruding from his or her mouth.
Pipes were decidedly popular. Even
a bull dog was going around the hall
with a pipe projecting from his mouth
i'll approved style; he attracted consid-
cradle attention.
The crowds continue to be large The
vaudeville show is good: next week it
will be better according to advance

INDIANS SAVE TREES.
Cheyennes Swing Axes Instead OF
TOmahaws i'm Montana.

Washington, jan 24.-Cheyenne In
dams in Southern Montana have waged
successful warfare on the Black Hills
beetle, against which they took the war
path more than twelve months ago,
that the department of agriculture an
nounced the immensely valua BILE timber
in that state virtually was saved and
the onward march of the tree-killing
insect was believed to have been
stopped. The beetle, which first ap-
peared in the Black Hills of South Da-
kota. according to the department killed
more than one billion feet, board
measure, of timber in that section be-
fore moving on.
When the ravages of the insect were
discovered the department found the
pest was approaching in numbers, the
Tongue River Indian reservation in
Montana. The Indians We're called up
on and orandishing axes in place of
tomahawks, attacked infected trees
with such vigor that the invasion of
the beetle was checked.
The cost of the melted Indian up
rising was 1903 while the department
estimates that the stumpage value of
the trees sacrificed will approximate
$125, 600 In addition the checking of the
onward march of the pest undoubtedly
has. saved the rich forests to the west

GRAIN BY P. POST.
Cottonwood Postmaster Thinks His
Office Feed Store.

Cottonwood Falls, Jan. 24.-When the
Cottonwood Falls postmaster received
bale of New Mexico alfalfa by par
Gel post addressed to a resident here,
he wondered whether or not his office
was about to be turned into a feed
store. But when next a bag of corn
was brought in by a local firm to be
sent by parcel post to North Carolina
he began to believe it in earnest.
This is probably the first time that
hay and corn has gone by parcel post
in this state. The hay was sent from
the ranch of George King at Springer,
n. NJ, to D. K. Carter of this place
and the bag of corn was mailed by
Smith Brothers, a local firm, to Miss
Matte Upton at Fayetteville, n. c..
Both packages were less than the me-
dunn weight limit called for in the
parcel post regula TONS

SLICE STATE COST
Bill i'm Senate Today to Save
Many Salaries.
To Combine Agricultural and
Horticultural Boards.
THE STATE ACCOUNTANT, TOO
His Work Incorporated in Of
flee of Auditor.
Author of Acts.

Two official heads at the state house
will fall and the state maintenance ex-
pense will drop $40,0 900 if bills introduce
ed in the senate this morning by j.
W. Howe senator from Dickinson
county, pass both branches of the leg
islature Senator Howe in his acts
which are said to be supported strong
ly by Governor Hodges and which IN
corporate administration policies, pro-
poses to combine the state agriculture
board, the academy of science and the
state horticultural board under the
control of one secretary with executive
power. In other bills offered at the
same time Senator Howe recommends
the adjustment of county assessors
throughout Kansas, and the office OF
state accountant.
The Howe bill goes one step further
in the reorganization of the state ag-
ricultural and horticultural boards In
the year 1914 at the general election
he would have placed on the ballots
the office of the combination board.
The secretary would be elected by the
people. The president, vice president,
and other officers would be elected by
the members and the executive COM
mittee.
State Accountant Is Doomed.
The office of state accountant is
under death penalty by the admins
tration in power in both houses. The
Howe bill covering this ground would
drop this official title from the state
payroll and transfer the books and
Office necessities to the department of
the auditor of state. Here if it was
found advisable to hire extra help for
the work, the auditor would notify the
governor and proper steps would be
taken to appoint a person to handle the
prescribed duties of the office.
The state accountant bill is the sec
ond act of this nature to be offered
to the senate Senator Waggener, of
Atchison, introduced a measure in the
upper house Thursday.
In cutting the expense of county as
SCISSOR in the counties of the state,
Senator Howe proposes that this work
be handled by the township assessors.
In case the county commissioners feel
that the emergencies in their territory
demands extra help they will be given
authority to appoint clerk with the
powers of a county assessor to take
care of the work.
