A Nsw Kansas state Board FAvors
short, Practical Courses.

Topeka. April 1.-THE first Inn
portant plans OF the board OF ad-
ministration which takes charge OF
the Kansas educational institutions
July /, for the Improvement of the
work of the schools were completed
here today. The board has reelected
H. ]. Waters as president OF the
agricultural college and Frank
Strong as chancellor Of the univer-
sity. and. as toon as the new fiscal
year begins. II will combine the agri-
cultural college experiment farm and
the normal school branch at Hays
City and will establish an agricul-
tural high school at the college.
The board has accepted the resig-
nation of Professor Pickens as head
OF the normal school at Hays and
will attempt to combine the work OF
the experimental station with It's
short course in agriculture at the
Hays experiment station, with the
work of the state normal at Hays.
II has arranged to have the alfalfa
on the normal lands taken care OF
by the agricultural experimental
station. The agricultural college
will assist in the management of
the lands belonging to the normal
school-the normal school having
about $500 acres OF land, and the
agricultural college about 1000
acres, all a part of the same tract.
These two institutions heretofore
have been under separate boards,
who made their separate visits there
and had no cooperation whatever
with each other.
The board, working with the pres
ident at Manhattan, has established
an agricultural school which is dis
tinct from the college in that each
years work is practical and reparate
and 1t admits students from both
grade and rural. schools. It's aim is
to train for practical work instead
of preparing to enter any academy
or college.
For the men there is practical
work in agriculture, farm mechan-
les and farm repair work, and the
only cultural studies carried through
the course are English and mathe-
mates, and both branches are car
ried from a practical standpoint.

HERE is SOMETHING
THAT ABILENE MISSED
Millions of Chinch Bugs Make Visit
at Junction City.

Several million chinch bugs made
a short call at Junction City last
Thursday on their way to visit rela-
tives in the southwest. On account
of their hurry they did not come
to Abilene but will probably make
their return trip this way later in
the spring. The Junction City Union
says:
A northeast wind yesterday after
noon brought the chinch bugs by the
millions and the streets were full
of them for several hours. The bugs
were flying high, from 10 to 20
feet above the ground, and the wind
took them on to southwest. 1t is
not known whether any of them
settled in the wheat fields in this
county.

OF DEEDS
HAS TROUBLE AHEAD
New Law Gives Him Plenty OF Intri-
cate Work 20 Do.

A sign that he reads trouble
ahead" was discovered yesterday by
Register of Deeds Tom Easter, in
an act OF the legislature which will
become one Of the state laws in a
few weeks, on official publication,
The act provides that the registers
of Kansas shall, when an instrument
is presented to them for record.
compare 1t with the previous records
for the tract involved, and report to
the grantee any apparent errors.
81 believe that 1t will be a good
law" said Register Easter yester-
day, "and It will be complied with
in this office, but with no numeri-
cal index 1t means almost endless
trouble, and 1t will be almost i'm
possible in some cases to compare
the instrument to be filed with the
previous records.
"In counties where a numerical
index has been kept, the work will
be easy. The previous records can
be found in short time. We have
only the reception record here by
which to trace the title back"
Dickinson county, has never had a
numerical record and 1t would cost
close to $4,000 to have one made ac-
cording to Mr.. Easter.
Another act Of the legislature, to
become a law soon, requires the
register to proof-read all copies of
instruments and to stamp the con-
veyances: Original compared with
record" For a failure to do this
the official may be fined not to ex-
coed 500.
The office in Dickinson has al
ways complied with this new regula'
ton.

SOLOMON WOMAN VOTED
AT 1O4 YEARS OF AGE.
She Appreciates Ballot More Than
Abilene Women.

Solomon Tribune: 104 years is
good long while for one to stay
on this old mother earth and very
few attain this ripe age. But we
are pleased to state that Solomon
can boast of resident who has
reached her five score years and
four, This resident is Mrs. Elizabeth
Driscoll who passed her 104th mile
stone OF life on January 4, 1918.
And the good old lady is quite
active, both mentally and physical
ly. That she is active physically
was evidenced last week when she
climbed those stairs at the city hall
and cast her vote. Mrs.. Driscoll
has experienced very little sickness
and IL enjoying the best of health
today. She has been q resident Of
Solomon for the past twelve years
and we trust will be with us for
many more years. She was born in
Cork, Ireland, and came to this
country when quite young. Mrs.
Driscoll is the mother of three chill
dren, John, Jerry and Mrs. Lizzie
Sullivan, all Of Solomon. And we
are informed that she, her children
and several grandchildren all voted
the Citizens ticket.

won't Let Their Discussion Be Open
20 Hearing.
REPUBLICANS MAKE BIG KICK
Many Interests Ask Hearing ON Sche-
dulles and Are Refused-Op-
position TO Methods Is
Growing.

Washington, April 18.-The Dem
ocratic tariff revision bill came In
for its first attack in the senate yes
terday and the skirmish outlined the
scope and vigor of the fight that will
be made against It by Republican
political forces when the tariff dis
cussion begins in the two houses.
Backed by requests from many in
terests for hearings on certain act
ions OF the Underwood bill, Repub-
lican senator's made a demand upon
members Of the finance committee
for hearings, and openly attacked
the "Secret Legislation" now going
on in the Democratic caucus of house
members.
Democratic senators who replied
to the attack made 1t clear that the
finance committee does not plan to
grant any public hearings. Senators
williams and Stone insisted full
hearings had been given by the house
committee before the bill was pre-
pared, while Republican senators
declared that these hearings had
been of little value, because the rates
of the Underwood bill we're not then
known.
With many complaints and OBJ
jections before them, Republican
members OF the senate are prepar-
ing for a general attack on all sche-
dulles OF the bill. Senator Smoot
had put two experts at work to ana
lyze the Underwood bill and previous
measures, to give the protectionist
forces a base for their fight.
Late in the day, after the wool
schedule had been approved without
change, the Democratic caucus dis
posed of the silk, pulp and paper
and sundry schedules, voting down
all proposed amendments. The free
list was under consideration when
the Democrats adjourned.
Representative Underwood admit
ted during the wool schedule discus
sion that the proposed rates might
have serious effect upon some man
ufacturers. Representative Bathrick
of Ohio moved to place manufac-
tured wool and clothing on the free
list instead of dutiable at S5 per
cent adva1orem, proposed. The
amendment was voted down, 6S to
80. Another motion by Represen-
tative Bathrick to reduce the duty
on ready made clothing to Is per
cent also was lost.

PAVING DAMAGED.
Cedar Street Residents Indignant
Over House Moving.

Cedar Street Residents Indignant
Over House Moving.
The people residing on North
Cedar above Seventh were up in
arms this morning over the damage
done to the paving by house which
is being moved over that street. Ed.
Franks has the contract for moving
the old Methodist parsonage to lots
on the corner of Tenth and Kinney.
Yesterday afternoon was pretty
warm day and the asphalt top got
so soft that the corks on the horses
shoes dug it up in babe shape. The
big iron wheels used to carry the
house cut several places which will
have to be repaired. Mr.. Franks
thinks the paving is bad in spots
and while no planks were used to
support the wheels he insists they
should not have injured it had it
been first class. The commissioners
are investigating and will have all
repairs made that are necessary.

NOT FRIGHTENED.

A few days ago it was announced
that the textile mills of New England
were making large profits, despite the
reductions mad on their output by
the new tariff. Now, it is learned
from The Hartford Times that the
textile manufacturers Of southeastern
Connecticut, and eastern Massachusetts
are getting ready to enlarge their
plants because they are behind with
their orders
The Underwood tariff bill cut down
the duties on all classes OF cotton goods.
YET n or the eastern companies
which manufactures a heavy duck for
automobile tires is to start up all its
departments on overtime work to keep
up with h demand for that class VI
goods. Three other mills m the same
city which produce the same fabric
have been forced to operate at night
TO meet the demand.
While the tariff was being discussed
In congress the public heard many
