SEEKS COOPERATION OF ALL.
The Children Industrial Work fol
The County and State Fairs,

At this time of the year the interest
in the School Fair work is inclined
to drag, but we are glad to note that
through the many Children 5 Indus
trial clubs over the county the interest
this summer is being held up much
better than expected. Nearly every
club in the county is holding its
regular club meeting once or twice
month and is working out the fair
plans as planned before school closed.
We find that the parents are get
ting behind the children in this work
and are encouraging them to do the
best work they possibly can. This
speaks well of the interest of the
parents and we are proud of them.
The Parent Teachers associations
over the county are nearly all backing
up the children and are doing much
TO keep this interest alive, as they
are offering prizes for the children i'll
their immediate districts for the eN-
hibit that they may have. Also many
school boards have set aside a sum
of money to the children of their dis
trict for this same purpose. We must
thank the different leaders or advisors
of the clubs for their interest as near
" all of them are busy men and wo-
men and this work is taking much Of
their time. but they are meeting with
the children in their club meetings
and also advising the children at diff
fcrent times in their fair work
The cooperation of the parents, the
Parent nt-Teachcrs associations, school
boards and the advisors with the In
dustrial clubs over the county means
that they are having and will have
greater interest in this great work
than ever before. and hence, a greater
fair than ever.
Children from all over the county
are sending in very encouraging re
ports of their work and We are glad
TO get these reports and also glad to
help in any way we may be able. We
ARE planning to take pictures of the
different gardens, pigs. chickens, can
ming work, etc, being done by the
children. and slides will be made of
these pictures which will be used by
the Extention Department of the Ag-
riculture College in their work this
coming year Also pictures will be
sent to the 1915 Fair at San francisco
as a part of the Oregon and Polk
County Educational Exhibit. We are
asking the children in the county who
have gardens, are feeding pigs, rails
ing chickens or doing any of this fair
work which they think will make good

PORTER TRIAL STARTS
Murder of Frank Bayless Is Charge
Filed Against Him.

Samson Porter, cOlOred. was placed on
trial for the murder of Frank Bayless at
q bottoms" resort in December OF last
year in the first division OF the district
day was occupied in empaneling jury
and outlining the charge and defense. The
taking Of testimony began this afternoon.
Bayless. a farm hand, wandered into
the tough section of town and spent the
day on which he died in drinking with
negroes in resorts on or adjacent to Crane
street. He shot late at night the
body being found at the entrance of a
ing the murder charge admits fighting
With Bayless. fled and caught a freight
train eastward bound on the Union Pa
cific tracks east of North Topeka. He
threw his revolver into the Kaw.
OFFICERS who traced him say he was
heard of in Chicago Porter denies hav-
ing left the state. He was cauglre in. con-
cealment in the house of relatives in the
bottoms last spring while at home for a
stealthy visit. After he had been; traced
by ]. j. Holman. deputy si1erin, he was
surprised in an upper room FRy.s Wnder-
sheriff Hugh Larimer who walked IN on
the man and commanded his surrender.
Porter is regarded as dangerous ana Lari-
mer received much commentator for
the circumstances of the arrest.
The defense in the Samson Porter
case being tried today is that Frank
Bayless really died Of pneumonia and
not from the bullet wound. In the
testimony it was brought out that
Bayless lived Ill days and was ac-
tually under the care of asdoctor be-
cause of pneumonia at the time Of his
death. The prosecution will attempt
to prove that he would have died any,
way of the bullet wound. The pro-
ceedings were temporarily stopped in
order that the county attorney might
dig up more testimony.

today refused the request of Harry

attorney general elect and present as
sistant attorney general to appear
Thursday in the board of control
hearing. In the absence sof specific
orders from the governor, Dawson re-
fuses to permit his office to mix in

IN Thursdays inquiry as best he may
& The hearing Thursday concerns
charges against w. E. Brooks and

The board. These charges were made
by Bowman a few days before the
election and were used for campaign
purposes Last week Governor Hodges
appointed a commission composed Of
Senators Overfield, Shouse and Trott
TO investigate the charges. Bowman
will be called as a witness at the
hearing.
This row among the members of
the board of control broke out a short
time before the election while 1 was

General Dawson today. IF this COM
mittee denounces Messrs. Brooks and
Myers. the governor can reinove them
pm his own order. If the committee
exOnerates them, no court would Gust
them. I therefore think it proper in
the absence of any specific orders
from the governor. to keep out of it,
Mr.. Bowman is himself a good lawyer
and If he wants counsel, there are
plenty of private lawyers available"
Brooks and Myers did not ask the
governor for counsel in hearing to
inquire into their official records
They have employed J. ]. Schenck
and Edwin McKeever, Of Governor
Hodges counsel, in the recent West
Hodges damage suit. These lawyers
will examine the witnesses who APP
pear before the commission to tes-
tify against the two Democratic mem
bers of the control board. If Bow
man is represented by counsel at the
hearing, it now appears that he will
retain a lawyer at his own expense
just as Brooks and Myers have
done.
The inquiry will begin at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning in representative
hall.

DON'T USE SERUM!
Livestock Commissioners Warming to
Kansas StOckmcn

In a proclamation by Taylor Riddle,
state livestock sanitary commissioner,
Kansas stOckmen are warned against
the use of anti-cholera serum and
virus which has been exposed to con-
termination with the foot and mouth
disease.
The Riddle statement today is as
follows:
"Only recently the b. A. I. depart
ment Of the department of agricul-
ture issued bulletin to the country
which gave the information that many
hundred thousand cubic centimeters
of serum and virus manufactured by
serum plants around Chicago was
known to be affected with the foot
and mouth disease, because the serum
was made from hogs discovered to
have that disease.
Ihis makes this serum a very dam
gerous proposition. and We presume
that all that was known to be so af
fected was discovered and DESTROYED.
In order that farmers who are in
tending to vaccinate their hogs with
elther the single or simultaneous
method may avoid possibility of dis
ease, we would advise that under all
circumstances serum and virus from
the agricultural college at Manhattan
be used, because the serum manufac-
tured there is taken from hogs that
have not been in public stock yards
OF exposed In any way, and therefore
you take no chances of injecting your
nerds with a contagious disease. and
besides the college makes as good
serum as Is made any place in the
United States. INC
rms give as a warning and eau
ton to all persons expecting to use
serum or virus in the near future"

District Attorney Wants Relief
From Questioners.
He Hasn't Anything to Do With
New War Tax.

| Fred Robertson, United States dis
| trict attorney, was sending out ,. -.
signals this morning, calling for rel1el
from an avalanche of inquiries about
the new federal war tax. His office
| has nothing to do with the war tax ex-
| cept to prosecute individuals who fai
| to pay it, and that duty has not yel
arisen. But under the impression thai
he was official headquarters for al
| sorts Of information about the new Law
| many Topekans have today called upon
Robertson to know what, when ano
how to pay the tax provided by it. He
has been politely referring them all to
w. H. L. Pepperin of Leavenworth, IN
ternal revenue collector. who is the
one person in Kansas to whom such
questions should be put.
"A horrible mistake has been made,
declared Mr. Robertson this morning
"A reporter interviewed L. S. Harvey
and has brought down a flood of ques-
lions on our heads. We don't officially
know any more about that law than
anybody else and haven't anything to
do with collecting the tax. But II TINS
thing keeps up we won't be able to do
anything else beside turning away
seekers for information. I am sending
everybody to Mr.. Pepperill. who will be
glad to fix them up, but it takes our
time"
Part OF Tax Due.
Part of the new tax is now due. That
much applies to banks and other instl-
buttons who will pay in cash upon a
basis of capitalization or Of business
done. The part of the revenue to be
collected through the sale of stamps
becomes effective December 1. There
are lengthy schedules Of articles tax
able and it behooves every person in
business to find out how it affects him
individually.
In Kansas one of the most important
parts of the tax will be that levied
against theaters for it catches them all
from the little hall with $50 seats or
auditorium seating over 800 for which
500 a year must be paid. The only
class of entertainments exempted are
religious. industrial, charitable. and
agricultural fairs, chautauquas ana
lyceums. The multitude of little NOV
ing picture houses must pay stiff
tribute.
There will not be tax on bank
checks as was the case after the Span
ish-American war but stamps must be
affixed to many kinds of business pa
per which are specified with much de-
formation is obtainable from Mr.. Pep
PERIL at Leavenworth. who right now
is laboring hard to start the flow of
revenue provided for.
The new tax will be applied only for
a year, or until January 1, 1916. It is
aimed at luxuries of all kinds and falls
hardest ON liquors and tobacco.
AS yet no announcement has been
made as to the distribution of the rev.
enue stamps which. in Spanish war
days were obtainable at banks and
postoffices and at many stores which
kept them for the convenience iof pa
irons. The fact that. no tax is placed
on bank checks will operate to restrict
their circulation. as they will not be so
in demand as in former
times.
