SUES FOR HIS FARM
Truck Patch Near Girard Sink
ing Into Abandoned
Coal Mines.
OWNER ASKS 81, 900 DAMAGES
John eeion Charges Coal Companies
With Improper PropPing Of
Their Shafts.


John Belon had a rich truck farm
of 46 acres near Girard He had
titled it for many years and 1t had
become one of the most fertile tracts
of land in this part OF Kansas, Belon
being able to raise almost any kind
of vegetable or crop. He also had a
fine well. 1t had an unlimited supply
of water, and in addition to furnish
ing all that was needed for domestic
purposes, it furnished water for irri-
cation purposes.
But the bottom has dropped out of
Mr.. Belon's fine farm and the bottom
has dropped out of his well.
Mr.. Belon doesn't know how far the
farm is going to drop nor if there is
anything to stop it, but he does know
that it is valua BILE to him no longer.
Big depressions and big cracks make
it impossible for him to cultivate.
Recently he filed suit for $4,000 dam
ages against the Central Coal and
Coke Company, the Cherokee and
Pittsburg Coal and Mining Company
and the Clemens Coal Company. alleg-
ing that failure to properly prop aban-
doned mines caused the farm to drop
away.

TIME TO SWAT CHINCH BUGS
Get Pests Now While On Way From
Wheat Fields to the Corn,
Says Expert.

Get the chinch bugs now, before
they have wings; starve them before
they go from the wheat into the corn,
is the advice Prof s. J. Hunter of the
entomology department of the uni
versity is giving out to the Kansas
farmers.
while we have had few reports of
chinch bugs in the state, preventive
measures taken now will greatly de-
crease any chances of loss if the
farmers will use a plan followed out
last year at this time by Fred lap
tad, a farmer north of Lawrence.
Around his corn fields Laptad
p1oughed a furrow Then taking a
heavy drag in the shape of a water
trough with the ends off, with sides
two feet wide, he brought the freshly
ploughed furrow up into a tall ridge
In the hot weather the bugs could not
crawl over the ridge, or died in the
hot dust on its sides.
I'm case the ground is wet, drive
around the corn field in a buggy and
in the buggy tracks pour No. road
oil. The buggy tracks will keep the
oil from scattering and enable the
farmer to guard his entire field at
slight expense. The bugs will not
cross the oil furrow. Laptad used
both of these methods on his corn
field and saved his crop"

Federal Reserve Bank Organizers Jubi-

Disclosed on the Trip.

Washington.-The federal reserve
bank organization committee, back in
Washington after a five weeks trip
through the country, in a statement,
announce that it's selection of federal
reserve cities and definition of reserve
districts would not be made until it
had carefully considered information
accumulated on the trip. The state
ment said the committee found the
country prosperous and learned that
bankers and business men are conf
dent of the success of the banking
system.
In supplemental statement, Sec
rotary McAdoo declared he hoped the
new system would be established in
time to take care of crop-moving con-
t1ngencles next year, but that if it
were not the treasury department
would stand ready to place it's funds
again at the disposal of business men.
The committees statement, in part,
is as follows:
I'VE have spent practically from the
4th of January to the present time in
hearing the views of business men and
bankers on the problems of dividing
the country into not less than eight
nor more than twelve districts and of
locating in each district the main office
of federal reserve bank Of the two
questions, the division of the country
into districts is the more important
and difficult. The committee asked
those who appeared before it to direct
their attention to these two problems.
A great many able and impartial bust
ness men and bankers have submitted
their best information and opinions
and always in spirit of great fair
ness.

The charge has reported the incident
