THINK Rack FOKTY YEARS
Northern and Eastern States Helped
Kansas as Kansas Now Aids

This year Dickinson county and
the rest of the wheat belt is giving
of its plenty to the Belgians who
face starvation and who are de-
pending largely upon the United
States for their chance to live.S
Forty years or more ago, Kansas
Dickinson county, was receiving aid
from northern and eastern states,
and many of the older residents OF
the town will recall the early days,
when grasshoppers came and strip
ped the land of crops and times were
hard, mighty hard. Then an appeal
was made to Massachusetts and New
York and other eastern states, and
in Ohio and states nearer to Kansas,
and the way the pleas for aid were
answered helped to keep many per-
sons in Kansas, staying by the Land
until better times came.
M. Nicolay had charge OF the dis
tribution Of one carload Of supplies
sent here from Ohio. James Adams
went back to Ohio and got the peo- |
pie to send a carload of food and
clothing" Mr.. NicOlay says, ''and
we had an office uptown and dis
tributed It,"
''In a building where the Abilene
National now stands" says Judge J.
p. Quinn, supplies that were sent
out here for us Kansans were given
out" Mr.. Quinn then had a harness
shop on Cedar street. i
"Other states helped Kansas out
more than one time" is the way J.
B. Case sums 1t up. 81 came to Kan L
sas first late in 1869, and l spent Ii
my first Christmas in this state in II
Leavenworth. In 10 I came on to I
Junction City, and then later to Ii
Abilene. Several times the eastern q
states sent food and clothing out d
here and they were distributed to c
the people who applied at some CEN a
trail point. It wasn't Just q few who 1
needed help. Practically everyone h
vas in need. We ought to remember Is
This when we give to the relief OF a
Belgian sufferers." n

rectors: T. r. Conklin, B. F. Ian

Directors Report
The report of the directors Of the
fair association, declaring that in
the judgment Of the board the as
sociation could not retain the fair
grounds and make the annual fair
a paying proposition. and recon-
mending that the grounds be offered
for sale to the city at a reasonable
price, was adopted by the stockh0ld~
ers in their annual meeting this at
ternoon.
The financial report statement
which accompanied the report show
ed that at the present time there Is
issued $4,000 In stock, and the as
sociation owns the 80 acres 6f ground
comprising the fair gt9pnds. 1t
owes $4,000 in bonds, this takes for
1918 and 1914, amounting $685.
25, and notes at the bank mbunting
to S3946.89, ON which are the names
of the present directors. This means
that the association has only an
equity in the grounds amounting TO
she diffs1anae hetweeAA the total
debtedness, ss172.44, and the vAiAB
of the property. With the charges
for interest, taxes and insurance,
there is NO prospect that the fair
will pay out; instead the indebted
ness will grow.
At the present time, the assocfa-
tion is in debt $8172.44. A year agD
the debt was $7956.5V, and this IN
spite OF the fact that the fair this
year was success, financially, 80

far as the actual expenses of thu
fair were concerned, aside from tn,
interest, insurance and taxes.
The directors recommended thai
the grounds be offered to the city
for $4,000. 1t is understood that
the city commissioners would call
a special election should that offer
be made.

and Glass Of Beer Are Suf-
ficient

dinance making it unlawful to sell
liquor in cafes and restaurants unless

ing the nature Of the meal, was intro.
duced at the city commission meeting
yesterday by Mayor Samuel c. Park.

to the committee of the whole for con-
sideration.
The amendment was drafted in the
law department for the specific pur-
pose Of putting an end to the sale of
liquor in cafes where only potato
chips or some substitute are served as
meals.
Mayor Park explained that the state
law does not define q meal and that
the ordinance is designed to make a
specific definition of the term, provid-
ing that it shall consist of meat and
vegetables and other articles of food.

NO IMPROVEMENTS
AT PRESENT RATES
Apperson Declares Railroads Are Los
ing Money Under Reduced Freight
Tariffs.

That tho question of whether the
Denver d Rio Grande will construct
new railroad yards and shops on the
old Church farm property south Of the
city practically depends on the re-
quested increase of per cont cast of
the Mississippi river and the old freight
rates west of the river that were in
force before the reduction by the in.
terstate commerce commission, was
stated yesterday by A. 3. Apperson,
general superintendent of the Denver
& Rio Grande.
Mr. Apperson declares that it is q
conceded fact that under present
tariffs nearly every railroad in the
country is losing mouey and that i'm.
Provements cannot be made unless the
roads are permitted TO increase their
earnings. He says that the lowered
rates have not in the least benefited
the consumers during the two trial
years they were in force.
