1t appears from statement made
by Postmaster General Burleson
that, instead of there being a postal
surplus of s250,000 at the close of
1911, there was a deficit of $3.50, 900.
If this is correct the auditing depart
ment Of the postoffice at that time
must have been somewhat lax. The
discovery of irregularities in the
work of predecessors in office is. how
ever, an old story, and should be
taken-if at all-together with a
powerful digestive pill.

Howard A. Guilford, editor of
Guilford' IS Weekly, was indicted by
the federal grand jury in St. Paul
upon the charge of .photographing a

FORMER GOOD CROPS.
Farmers in Such Financial Condition
That Losses Will Not Prove Serious
Ii Them.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 2.-kansas has
just passed through the most remark
able drought in its history.
But the drought came at a time
when it could not hurt the state to
Il great extent as it followed in the
wake of several years of unusual
crops, and the farmers, who must suf-
fer drought more than any one else,
were in such financial condition that
the losses in crops will not make Sc
rious nroads in to their bank depos
its.
There is no question or the serious
ness g. the drought, buv it affected
nearly all of Nebraska and Oklaho-
ma and all parts of Missouri in the
same way it hit Kansas. The most
serious phase of the dry weather was
the lack of water for stock purposes
and the personal discomfort incident
to extreme heat and lack of water
for domestic use.
Western Kansas suffered even less
from the stock water problem than
did The central part of the state. or
