NEED more WHEAT.
western Farmers Are Not
Nearly Supplied With Seed.
Calls for Help Pouring In by
the Hundred.

Western Kansas is still in need OF
large Quantities of seed wheat and
eastern Kansas men should respond
generously with loans to farmers. c.
D. Yetter is in charge of the move
ment to ship seed wheat to the west
ern counties and has had good sue
cess up to the present but has not
filled the needs of the majority of the
wheat growers. kilograms and let
ters come into the Office of Charles
n. Sawyer, bank commissioner, by the
hundreds A big stack of letters
from county officials.
The committee finds it impossible
to deal with the large army of indi-
viduals,'' Mr.. Sawyer said this morn
ing. 1T has been easier to do bust
ness with the county commissioners
and other officials who will distrib-
ute the seed wheat fairly
Decatur county farmers are offer
ing rs per cent of their entire crop
as an inducement for shipments of
wheat. Other counties are offering
like proposals. One thousand push
els stored in an elevator in Hill City
has been bought by wire by the bank
commissioner and distributed among
Graham county farmers. In Ness and
most of the other counties in that por-
ton of the state, reports say that the
ground is in the finest condition. AL
that is needed to make a banner wheat
crop is more seed wheat.
Big Shipment to Trego.
The committee in charge of the
Kansas Farmer Wheat club, has sent
between 1000 and 5000 bushels to
Trego county. ]. B. Smiley also sent
55S bushels to the same county That
satisfies part of the needs of Trego
but more car loads could be used to
great advantage.
The following telegram was received
this morning nv Mr. ana
county has urgent need for six mil
lion bushels of wheat. Bill to Dighton
unless otherwise advised. H. Gillette.
county treasurer" How to fill out
puzzling Mr.. Yetter and his associates.
Many people have responded to the
call for money for the farmer, among
them being Arthur Capper, 500; Cen
trail National bank, $3.50, and other
Topeka firms smaller amounts. To-
morrow it is expected that many more
deposits will be received. Senator
Carey of Hutchinson sent in a check
for $500 this morning-half a car
load for some county
The wheat received so far is near
the territory as possible and several
Kansas counties have sold quantities
of seed wheat to the railroads, farm
erS and the state. In most counties
the average number of bushels of
seed wheat for the farmer is 5, in
stead of so, as usual. This is a serious,
state of affairs for the farmer and the
only aid is from his more prosperous
brother in eastern Kansas. About
onefourth of the needs have been
met up to date
1--WE could easily use $500 more
10 a good advantage Mr. Yetter said
this morning. ''WitH9 that sum we !
could do a great deal for the people of
-hese districts. The railroads are do
ng good work in hauling wheat free. |
To give Kansas a good crop, more |
money should be received"

TAX DODGERS DAY.
They Transfer Their Deposits to Banks
of Neighboring States.

New York, Oct. by the con-
venient process of transferring their
bank deposits to New Jersey or Con-
nectlcut institutions wealthy residents
of New York state are posing TODAY
as poorer by many millions. 1t is esti-
mate that about S25,0OO,0OO has been
sent across the river to New Jersey or
over the Connecticut state border The
reason is that today is personal
property tax day and many possessors
of wealth have long made-it a custom
to adopt this ruse to avoid taxation
in New York state.
According to Lawson Purdy presi-
dent of the board of commissioners,
however, the removal of accounts
from New York city to other states
does not exempt the owner from taxa
ton on these deposits and he cannot
avoid the tax, unless he ventures a
false statement

Selph assumed his new duties as post
master of ST. Louis today he issued
an ordler directing that the practice
of advancing salary money to en-

tween paydays to settle with money
lenders The new postmaster directed
no money lender be allowed in the
postoffice to transact business with en-
ployees. He also stated the nonpay-
ment of household bills on the part OF

indeed. I think you ought to have used

sweeter than this. but you did very well

Mrs. Redbreast was glad to take away
the pie for she was very much afraid of
what might happen from his having
eaten two pieces.

Away flew Mrs. Redbreast for DR..
Raven, for she was really frightened;
poor Robin seemed so i'll.
DR.. Raven came In a hurry with his
black bag Of medicine.
You are very sick, very sick indeed,
Robin. I should say you had eaten
something that did not agree with you.
Now what have You been eating, sir :?
What have you been eating?"
Poor Robin was too sick and fright
ened to reply at first. but DR.. Raven
asked again what he had for his sup
per he said. '.only two pieces Of cher
ry pie.'

said his mother used 70 make cherry

and he drank the rest of the medicine
