Although his home town is not big
enough or rich enough or something
of the kind of support n team on the
circuit at all times, Minneapolis oc
casionally breaks in and takes chips
in the game.
The citizens, with Gafford pushing
night and day, took a few chips in the
game during the season of 1912 and
took the Newton club. The Harvey
county people, although having some
good towns and many rich farmers,
did not give the team proper support.
The association was indebted to the
players for salaries and had many
other unpaid bills on hand when CAT
ford and the Minneapolis folk took the
team and finished the season.
Gafford is always on the job, and if
he stays with the game and willing to
bet his entire stack, the fans will find
him holding a prominent position in
baseball in the near future, and it will
be greater than anything the Kansas
State League can offer him.
In looking at the ability and re-
viewing the services of so worthy a
president, the fans must not overlook
the services and ability of Atty Will
son. who has piloted the Great Bend
team for three consecutive seasons and
finished every season by winning the
pennant. The Great Bend citizens APP
preciate his services and have shown
this by presenting him with q diamond
ring this week. after the regular sched-
ule was completed.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-08-16

The three pennantS have cost the
people of Great Bend more money
than collected at the gate but the Bar
ton county citizens realized that it was
worth something to be on the profess
sional baseball map and put up the
necessary amount to cover the short
age due to lack of attendance.
Atty Wilson is Well known over the
entire state. He was first seen as an
outfielder with the lola team in the
Missouri Valley League in 1904. The
club won the pennant that season and
then he was transferred, with the
franchise, to Oklahoma City. Since
then he played with the Joplin and
Hutchinson clubs which We're on the
Western Association circuit as a sue
cessor to the Missouri Valley League.
The circuit was broken when Topeka
and Wichita advanced to the Western
League. Wilson then went to Abilene
and has been on the circuit continu-
ously.
He started the 1913 season with but
three men who were members of the
cham piOnShip team of 1912 and cOndi-
tions were not very promising. He
showed his ability as a manager by
scouting the country for youngsters,
by getting into the game at first base
to coach the young pitchers and in
making various trades, and built UP Il
team which landed him on top al
though the pennant was not cinched
until the beginning of the last series
on the schedule
During Atty Wilson's services as a
manager in the Kansas State League,
he has not failed to convert one or
more players into perfectly good
money through sale or draft to teams
in higher class circuits. He was sue
cessful this season in converting
Pitcher Riley, who was sold to the
Wichita club. from a raw recruit into
one of the most promising youngsters
in Glass D company. Infielder Smith
&c I,n L11
company this season.
Catcher Wacob of Wichita and
Pitcher Wheatley of the Sioux City
club of the Western League, who is
the property of the Detroit club of the
American League, are other youngsters
who were sent to faster company by
Atty Wilson, who has made baseball
fame for Great Bend.

Leavenworth Worried.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. 16.-That
unless relief comes soon many farm
ers will be compelled to haul water
from the Missouri river, is the predic-
ton made by Robert Davis, county
commissioner, after returning from a
trip over Leavenworth county. Be
tween the river and Big Stranger there
is no water save a very short supply
in wells. This source of supply is
growing more scant each day. The
light company, which depends on
Three Mile creek to supply it's boilers,
Friday was compelled to extend it's
main to the river.
Mrs. Sallie Anderson succumbed to
the heat at an early hour and Patrick
McGloin. a druggist, was overcome. He
will recover.

Parsons, Aug. 16.-There will be no
water famine in Parsons this year. Ac-
cording to a statement issued by Off
GERS of the water company, a sufficient
supply of water is still in reserve to
furnish the city with water for at
least a year at the present rate of
consumption, which exceeds all pre-
ViouS records.
Parsons is one of the few towns in
this section of Kansas which is not
facing a serious situation in the lack
of water. Cottonwood Falls, Peabody
and Scammon are absolutely without
service, and water is being shipped in
to supply ordinarily needs. At INDIE
pendence, the supply is completely eX-
hausted, and at Olathe water is being
shipped in and sold at two cents a
gallon for household purposes. The
use of water in Oswego is restricted.

CATTLE FEEDING PROBLEM.
Supply for Winter Use Bothering
Rush County People.

Lacrosse, Aug. 16.-The grasshop-
per plague, the light wheat crops and
consequent seed wheat problem and
the still serious question of providing
feed for the stock during the winter
has resulted in the county commits
SionerS calling a county conference. to
meet in the court room of the court
house to discuss these problems and
other needs of the county. The call
is for the township boards of the
county, the bankers and all farmers
who feel interested.
Conditions and needs of every part
of the county are to be discussed and
a plan it is thought can be arranged
that will help the farmers out of their
difficulties. The law, it is thought,
gives the county commissioners little
chance to extend aid but whatever it
is possible to do will be done. State
Bank Commissioner Sawyer. who has
plan regarding the seed wheat prob
lem, has been invited. Letters are to
be read from the railroads regard
ing the use of poison in certain coun-
ties of the state, letters in regard to
methods of farming and dairying
from the colleges and field workers
of state and nation are to be read
and the Campbell system of dry farm
ing is to be discussed. 1t is intended
to make it one of the best farmers
meetings ever held in this part of the
state and the call for the meeting is
appearing in every county paper this
week.

WATER TROUBLES
Mines Closed Down Near Ga
Iena-Some Use City Supply.
Maple City Is Short and City
Dry-ParSons Has Plenty.

Galena, Kan, Aug. 16.-Several
mines in the near mining districts have
been compelled to close down on ac-
count of a lack of water to run the
plants. The shortage of water had a
great deal to do with the small output
of ore last week and undoubtedly will
affect the output this week.
Plants situated near a City where
there are waterworks are being fur
nished with water sufficient to run
mills, but the plants at a distance
from a large town cannot depend on
water companies and the operators are
hustling for a water supply of their
own. Where it has been impossible to
obtain water the plants have been
temporarily closed.

PAYS INHERITANCE TAX.

Hutchinson, Aug. 16.-The largest
amount that has ever been received
from an inheritance in this country,
through the inheritance tax law. was
turned over to County Treasurer Ho-
mer Myers yesterday by ]. NJ. Colling-
wood, principal heir of his father, the
late Joseph Collingwood of Pretty

Short of suppIy at Maple Citx.

Maple City. Kan, Aug. 16.-There
is a soft water famine in the vicinity
of Maple City, and every other kind
of water is scarce. The cisterns are
dry, and many of the wells from which
water has been hauled in previous dry
seasons, are now empty. All the rest
of the wells are low, and every stream
is in the same condition. The farmers
are finding it a serious problem to get
enough water for their stock and to
get good water for use in the house.
The kaffir and the cane is promising
enough to mack a fair yield if plenty
of rain comes soon. There will be lit
tie corn in the vicinity, however.

TO BUY SEED WHEAT.
HOdgeman County Will Take Advan-

Jetmore, Kan. Aug. 16.-County
Commissioner n. P. Rasmussen has
been delegated by the board to go east
and arrange for a shipment of seed
wheat which the Santa Fe railroad
will haul free. Farmers here do not
expect the county to buy the grain
but will pay the actual purchase price,
the saving to them being in transpor-
tation charges. "
