HAUL THEIR water
SubsoiI Condition Brings Grief
to Eastern Kansas Farmers.
Snowfall for December Has Not
Filled Wells Near Topeka.

There are probably more dry wells
in Shawnee county than ever before
The last year has been the ninth driest
in the history Of the state. Most of
this scantiness of precipitation has been
in the latter months of the year. 1t is
felt less than would be the case were
summer heats prevailing. The under
flow" from which the city water is
pumped Is approximately as low as it
has ever been. but there is no danger
of a water shortage because less is used
in the winter months.
Although the snowfall for the pres
ent month has been the heaviest of any
December recorded, it is still on the
ground and has had no opportunity to
soak into the earth and increase the
volume of underground water.
With few exceptions the wells be-
tween Topeka and the Wakarusa val
ley are either exhausted or are giving
only a small supply Of water. Some
farmers are hauling water five miles.
Several are driving that distance or
farther to take water from city hy-
drantS

to predict that Japan proposes to hold
not only Kiao Chow. but the ISLANDS
of the Pacific which she has seized.
Some day this issue must be tried out
in the Pacific and 1t may be to the
interest Of this country to have a

ure on shipment of arms to the allies. :"
Representative Bartholdt told the
committee that by dollar neutrality
the United States was alternating the
friendship of Germany and Austria.

Japan is not a good omen for our flu

Representative Bartholdt declared
shipments of war munitions since the

II am convinced" said he in con-
clusion. that by cutting off the ex-
portation of such supplies we can
bring the war to close very soon. and
the cutting off of just one month of
war would mean more to us than all
war supplies could make"

No Sale Of Securities Without
Strict Investigation.
1T CLOSE TO PAR VALUE
Stocks and Bonds Must Be Sold
Up to the Standard.
Telephone Deal Brought Out
Utility Suspicious.

A Kansas utility that cannot keep
water out of its stocks and bonds and
that cannot sell it's stocks and bonds
1t close to par value is going to have
hard shedding to get a certificate of
authority from the Kansas public util-
ities commission.
The commission will not permit the
Issuance of watered stock IF it sees it
drst" and it is not going to let COM
pany sell a great amount of securities
at a low figure upon which the peo-
pie who are served by the company
are compelled to pay dividends upon
the par value.
For some time negotiations have been
pending for the consolidation of two
telephone exchanges in one of the cities
Of the state. The sale of the bonds
had already been arranged for at eighty
cents on the dollar. The commission
thought il heard a rat in the deal and
found that there was a profit of forty
thousand dollars in the deal for the
promoters and besides that they would
be the owners of many thousands of
dollars worth of securities which cost
them eighty cents for each dollar of
par value.
"As a general proposition it may be
said that the commission will look with
favor upon the issuance OF stocks and
bonds in a sum apprOximating a rea-
sonabIe actual purchase price paid for
the property plus such sum as may
be required to cover the expenses incur
rcd in consolidation of existing plants
and that spent for improvements, bet
tiers and extensions wrote the COM
mission to the promoters Of the tele-
phone consolidation scheme. I'm cases
where the capitalization of a company
is based as above suggested, the COM
mission will hold that such capitaliza-
ton was in fact worth par and the
same should be disposed of at approx
imately that figure
This is rule the commission has
adopted for all public utilities which
may want to transact business in Kan
sas and which must have the certificate
Of authority to issue the securities from
the utilities commission. The securi-
ties must be sold at close to par and
mrst be only the real value of the
property.

Blizzard Has Put q Check on
Military Operations. q
Even Long Range Artillery Si-
fenced at Many Points.

Paris. Dec. 3O-Rain, snow squalls
and winter gales sweeping in from the
sea are reported today to have almost
checked the fighting along the Bel
gian and northern French front. For
thirty-six hours weather conditions
have been. friehtfuL As q result.
there are grave fears OF an epidemic
of sickness among the men who are
compelled to remain exposed to the
weather with only the protection of
their muddy trenches now half filled
with water.
So fierce has been the storm that
even the long range artillery is ST.
Only here the opposing forces act
ually have been almost in personal
touch was the fighting continued to-
day, according to- reports received
here. - -
There is much activity on the cen-
ter and right wing where the French
are steadily pushing forward. The
German trenches on the heights of
the Mouse are again being shelled and
it is believed here that an operation
is well under way designed to retake
ST. Mihiel where the Germans have
a wedge into the French Tine.
The operations in the Upper Alsace
region. have begun to pvershadow all
others in the opinion, of the French
military expects. They believe that
the long-looked-for drive which is in
tended to clear Alsace from the Swiss
frontier the Rhine to Strassburg
AMI Metz i under way.
The German positions at Steinbach
are being sheiled and it Is believed
here that they will soon be taken. This
will open the roadway leading to Alt
kirk and Mulhausen. Meanwhile the
log range guns of the French artil-
ley have been Smelling the German
trenches around MnlhanSan.

cause n the coming presidential fight.
says the Chicago man.
Place 5000 in Field.
I'VE will place 5000 men and wom-
en- in the field, each of whom will
pledge themselves to secure 1866
signatures to declarations to vote for
only parties declaring for national
prohibition" said Hinshaw today in
telling of the plans Of the Prohibition
party as a national organization. 1--WE
are after five million signatures and
five million votes in 1916 and expect
to get them. That means that pro-
hibition will be the dominant issue of
the campaign"
Both the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will refuse to declare for nation
al prohibition in their platforms two
years hence and the Democrats are
afraid of the issue, Hinshaw declares.
I'VE have reliable information upon
which we base the belief that both the
Republicans and Democrats will refuse
to endorse national prohibition In their
platforms in 1916" said Hinshaw. "But
that fact will not prevent the question
becoming a dominant issue. Even Sec
rotary Bryan recently admitted that
he feared the liquor question would
take precedent over other matters in
the coming fight
Not Consistent, He Says.
But that was not all that Hinshaw
had to say about the two dominant
parties. In fact, the Chicago man came
right to Kansas, the center of prohi-
that they are Inconsistent and not play
ing true to form.
Both the Republican and Democratic
parties were inconsistent in declaring
for prohibition in a prohibitory liquor
state where the sentiment for law en-
forcement is strong and then support
ing as presidential candidates men who
were avowedly opposed to prohibition.
The Republicans were inconsistent in
1912 in their alleged friendliness to pro-
hibition and. their support OF Taft. The
Republicans who left the Republican
party to go with the Progressives, left
their prohibitory liquor sentiments be-
hind to vote for Roosevelt, who op-
posed national prohibition.
THAT is the trouble with the old
parties" said Hinshaw. They are
not true to the faith. If there is a
new alignment in 1916. it must be
worked out In some convention. But
the individual voters who believe in
the principle will be urged to stand
only with a party that believes in the
measure and dominates men who will
carry out the principle
dlHSudW hopes LOT b conference
with william Allen White, Progressive
national committeeman for Kansas. If
conference can be arranged, Hin
shaw admits that the liquor question
will be the chief subject Of discussion
and that the question OF some ANAL
gamation two years hence may also
be mentioned in the course Of con-
versation.
In 1912, the Prohibition party
polled 282, 1921 votes.
