CAN SECURE LIBRARY
School Districts Are Able 10 Have
Good Books for Nothing

Any school district which does not
have an excellent library in its school
house for the use of the boys and
girls can lay the blame to an unpro-
gressive teacher or school board as
the Michigan State Library will send
a library of fifty volumes to any
school district which will pay the
freight and carriage from Lansing and
return. AS the cost to the most dis
tant district is not more than $1.25,
the travelling libraries are available
for all. The books may be kept for
six months and then returned and a
new set secured. AS the books are
we'll selected and of type which ap-
peal to children. they make an inn
portant equipment for the schools.
Framed copies of the best master
pieces will also be loaned by the
State Library under similar condi-
tions. Applications for both the Ii
braries and the pictures should be ad-
dressed to Mrs. Mary c. Spencer,
State Librarian, Lansing.

MORE RECORDS BROKEN IN
CONNECTION WITH THE
CHICAGO STOCK SHOW.

With it's $4,000 offered in prizes
and its entries closed, the Interna-
tional Live Stock Exposition, which
will be held on the dates Of Nevem-
Der Goth to December 9Th, inclusive,
at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago,
has broken all records in every de-
partment in regard to the number OF
exhibits. Every breed Of cattle,
sheep, swine and horses will be repre-
sented on a much larger scale, the ar
rangements for the Show have been
better provided for, and the great
Stock Show of 1913 will go down into
history as the most comprehensive,
the most complete, the most modern,
advanced and up to date of all the eX-
hibitions, wonderful as they have
been, which have preceded it. Such
a statement of facts as this is positive
proof of the importance OF the event
and how it is regarded by the stock
men of the country.
1t not only offers to breeders, iced
ers. farmers and others who are in
terested in the live stock industry,
school of analysis but free and lib
eral education in everything that
stockman requires, and presents to
the sons of these men an opportunity
for obtaining that information, and in
sight to the stockman's business SO
necessary so indispensable to them in
after years
Breeders, feeders and farmers, who
are developing business of this kind,
or who have already developed one,
and who have sons ready to step into
their shoes when they shall have cast
them off, and put upon them the slip
pers Of ease and restfulness, owe to
these young men the privilege of see
ing the, extraordinary Exposition, and
imbibing that knowledge without
which they will be sorely handicap
ped when they come to compete with
those who have taken advantage and
profted by the opportunities it at
fords.

COUNTY SEAT NEWS
Too late for last week.

Mrs. John West, of Grand Ledge,
spent the past week with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. c. G. Graham.
Miss Elsie Barden entertained 25
of her young friends Friday evening,
it being her 10th birthday. The even
ing was passed with games, music
and real fun, after which a delectable
luncheon was served.
Sunday about noontime, the fire
department, and half of the town,
were called out by fire in the Voight
hotel which of late has been occu-
pied by the foreign laborers who are
employed on the street paving job.
These people placed stove under a
chimney hole and connected a stove
pipe with it, believing that it ran out
the roof in regulation style-instead
of which it had been closed up and
papered over some years ago. The
result was considerable smoke and
quite bit Of fire, and for some time
it was thought that the old landmark
would be entirely destroyed, but it
was not although a great deal of
damage was done Tuesday the for
eigners went on strike for higher
wages.

PLAN EXTENSION OF
RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.

In the past two days j. F. Elston,
postoffice inspector, has ridden over
1853 miles Of Dickinson and Saline
county roads, to obtain information
relative to a plan to modify the
rural free delivery between Abilene
and Salina in such a manner that
the service will be compact, and
will provide mail delivery for every
farmer.
The new system will probably
necessitate the employment OF an
additional carrier out of Solomon,
and will provide mail delivery for
farmers in the vicinity of Sand
Springs, who heretofore have not
been reached. When 1t is in opera
ton every farmer between Abilene
and Salina will be on a rural route.

ONE LICENSE is ENOUGH
FOR YOUR. AUTOMOBILE.

A law suit is brewing over the
action taken by the city authorities
in Kansas City and several other
cities in Kansas in passing ordin-
ances requiring that automobile
drivers procure licenses from the
cities in addition to the license that
they are required to- procure from
the state under the new automobile
registration. The registration law
provides that the state license shall
take the place of and be in lieu o.
all other license, but some of the
cities are attempting to avoid this
provision by requiring drivers to be
licensed. The state license is for
motor cars. 1t is the opinion of the
legal representatives of the state
that the city. license ordinances are
invalid and the attorney general
will probably enjoin their enforce
ment.

FARMERS MARKETING WHEAT
Four or Five Thousand Bushels
Come in Daily.

Hundreds of dollars worth of wheat
are being marketed in Abilene every
day. The farmers elevator pur-
chases from three to four thousand
bushels and the Security mills from
a thousand to IL hundred bushels.
The farmers elevator ships out
three or four cars day, to Kansas
City, Wichita and other milling
points. The Security mills are run
ming night and day at full capacity.
The wheat is all number two,
testing better than SO pounds to
the bushel. Farmers report yields
of from IL to 40 bushels to the
acre. The average yield is probably
a little more than 20 bushels. The
lighter crops are in the uplands'
while many fields in the valleys
went 35 and 40 bushels to the
acre. The elevator is paying 70
cents a bushel. Corn and oats are
being shipped in.

Old ROAD PASSED
THROUGH COUNTY IN 1857.

Several years before the civil war,
when the site of Abilene was still
virgin prairie. peopled by Indians,
a road traversed Dickinson county
in almost identically the same posi-
tion that the Golden Belt road oc-
cupies today. II was known as the
Fort Riley and Santa Fe road, and
was employed by the government to
transport troops.
In passing through what is now
Abilene the road followed exactly
the same route as First street,
in fact, County Surveyor Riddle be-
lieves that Second street is merely
the name today for the old road,
and that the early settlers found
the road and continued to use it.
The notes made by government sur
veyors in 1857, when the public
lands. of Kansas were surveyed,
mention the large cottonwood tree
on the corner of the G.. G. Sterl
place, and speak of the road passing
directly beneath 1t. The only devia-
ton of the Golden Belt from the old
trail is in the vicinity Of Sand
Springs. Instead of bearing to the
southwest the old road went to the
north, and came back to the line of
the Golden Belt at the township
line.
On July IA, 1857, when the sur
veyors were measuring the land in
this neighborhood, an entry men
lions Mud creek as being 26 feet

ARRESTED FOR NOT
SUPPORTING FAMILY.


In the first part of May c. A.
Jordan left his wife. Mrs. Eva Jor-
dan, and three small children, Hell
en-. Harold and Amos. Since that
time he has given them but s2B.
On this and the 50 week that one

sisted. Rent became due the first,
and they had no money. The land
lord threatened expulsion.
So Mrs.. Jordan appealed TO the

for desertion and non-support. He
was arrested today in Burlington
and tomorrow the sheriff will 80
after him. The penalty for the
charge on which he was arrested
may be a term in the .penitentiary,
although the district Judge may

When arrested Jordan had SIS

wife. He told the Burlington Of
ficers that he had excellent business
prospects. This is Jordan's second
offense. He was arrested once be-
fore in western Kansas on the same
charge, and was paroled when he
promised future good behavior.

MAY INVESTIGATE AUTO
FIGURES IN CouNTlEs'

From Topeka comes the story
that an Investigation Is to be made
in several counties where the num-
Der OF automobile licenses applied
for is greatly in excess OF the num-
Der listed by the assessors for tax
alton on March first. In Cloud
county the assessors found but sol
machines, while over 400 licenses
have been applied for. The same
condition exists in Atchison county.
In Dickinson applications have been
made for $50 licenses. and there are
more than fifty owners OF machines
that have not yet applied. ASSESSOR
found SIT machines. but the dif-
ference may be accounted for by
sales. Clay county listed sol ma
chimes for taxation. and has taken
out 3Ot tags. Saline listed 47b. and
has applied for Ss4 licenses.
Up until July 10, when all tags
will have been sent out. machines
will not have to display licenses,
but their owners must be able to
show a receipt from the county
treasurer. No motorcycle tags have
been distributed. The office Of the
secretary Of state and the company
making the tags are both behind
with the work. The secretary or
state now estimates that there are
10000 machines in Kansas.
