The recent reunion of the old he

the heroic death of General Nash of
North Carolina at the battle of Ger

A round shot from the British ar
tillery passing through his horse
shattered the generals thigh on the
opposite side The fall of the animal
hurled its unfortunate rider with
considerable force to the ground.
With SURPRISING courage and pres

his wound with both hands, gaily call

Lane, Scott, Wichita and one-half of
Thomas and Sheridan need seed wheat.
This is a small proportion of the los
counties of Kansas, and it should only
be little chore for the remaining sc
counties to supply the seed needed.
In 1911 these counties seeded S21, 900
acres. In the same year these coun-
ties planted SIG, 900 acres of corn. Since
little blowing has been done this fall
on account of the dry weather, the
ground planted to corn offers the best
chance for wheat and it is safe to fig
ure on an acreage equal to the corn
acrea ge-tllis acreage should be pro-
vided with seed and sown at the ear
Hest possible date.
The ground of these counties is now
in favorable condition for seeding
made so by the recent rains. Farmers
are anxious to get to wheat seeding
the earlier the seeding the better
hence the need for prompt action in
sending in the money.
Farmers of these counties do not de-
sire donations. Their wishes and feel
ings have been respected in taking
their notes at the prevailing rate of
interest for small loans That is the
notes.
1t is estimated that $4,000 bushels of
seed wheat will be required.
Governor Hodges for 1t.
Four carloads of seed wheat We're start
ed from Salina to Trego county on Thurs
day.
Governor Hodges gave out this state
ment relative to the plan:
1T is agreeable to me to use my name
as one of the clubs trustees.
1T will, of course, be kept in mind,
that only eight out of the los counties
of the state need seed wheat. There are
possibly a few other counties, parts of
which are needing seed wheat for sowing
L am sure that under the plan proposed
the good people of Kansas, including the
farmers, bankers and merchants, will re-
spond to the appeal for funds, and this
may be used as an Endorsement of the
plan proposed.
THE club is to be commended for hav-
ing taken this matter in hand. Other
efforts along this line have not as Net
matured, and it is now high time that
the matter of supplying seed wheat to
those needing 1T be taking definite shape.
1T is understood that our state is not
asking outside assistance, and the few
counties that have been so materially
affected by the drouth viii be taken care

WICHITA NOT SO BAD.
Attorney General Dawson Pleased
With Liquor Conditions.

Attorney General John S. Dawson
today returned from four days in
vestigation of the liquor situation in
Wichita and declares that the Beer
less Princess is in first class shape
and that the lid isn't tilted as badly
as was reported. Dawson went to
Wichita to investigate the alleged
friendliness of the city administration
and the liquor interests. But aside
from the fact that the town police
force isn't as large as it should be,
Dawson thinks conditions are first
class.
wichita is in good shape. OF
course there has been some violation
of the prohibitory law, as there is IN
most of our larger towns, but the
violations have not been either serious
or extensive so far as / have been
able to discover. I am greatly inn
pressed with the sincerity of Judge
Babb, the present mayor. He invites
the assistance and cooperation OF my
department and he will get it.
1.-The police department appears 10
be shorthanded, the force having been
greatly reduced. Naturally this will
throw more work on the sheriff and
the county authorities. Some othc-
matters which were complaiaed OF
were Investigated and found to DC
without foundation. I expect to make
a full report for the private informa-
ton of the mayor. This report will
not be published"
Charges of corruption, lodged
against Wichita municipal officials,
were found by Dawson to be without
foundation.

New Freight Question.

Interstate shippers have slim
chance of beating railroad out o.
freight or demurrage bills even If the
railroad company is willing to be
beaten. This fact is brought out in a
suit filed in the Shawnee county dis
trict court by the Santa Fe Railroad
company. The company seeks to col
lect SIS demurrage from a sand COM
pany on a shipment from a Kansas
point to Oklahoma City, and the rail-
road company in its complaint tells
the court it is compelled to collect this
bill or make itself liable to prosecu-
ticn under the federal laws regulating
interstate traffic. If railroads were not
compelled to collect their bills, a new
system of rebating might spring up.
