RESIDENCE IN

SERVANTS QUARTERS IN REAR

BURNED EARLY YESTERDAY,
FLAMES MENACING OTHER
BUILDINGS.

At S:o5 o'clock yesterday morning
fire destroyed a small frame building
in the rear of the stately old Chaffin
residence, at the corner of Palaf0x

flames really menaced the larger build
ing. All the fire trucks were called

Of them were not needed and they
returned to their respective houses.
When the flames were discovered,
they were breaking out from all quar-
tiers of the tinder-like building in
which they started, and those who
were awakened at the time thought
the larger building in the same yard
would be damaged. The fire depart
ment, however, had little trouble in
combining the flames to the one struc-
ture. which, however, was completely
destroyed.
All occupants of the large Chaffin
place, now used as a boarding house,
were quickly awakened, as we'll as

NO PAY CHECKS
UNTIL The CITY
BUDGET PASSES
FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPT. 80
AND MAYOR TAKES THE POSI-
TON THAT NO MONEY HAS
BEEN APPROPRIATED.

1t is not likely that any of the city
employees will draw their pay checks
on Oct. Is, which they have done since
the mimonthly pay days were es-
tablished. The end of the fiscal year
with the city came to a close on Sept.
80 and inasmuc,1 as the budget has not
been passed Mayor Greenhut holds that
no money has been appropriated and
consequently will sign no pay checks.
Something of a bomb fell yesterday
when it was stated that the mayor
would apply the rule to all checks
alike. While all will receive their
money in due time, there may be a
delay of several days, pending the pas
sage of the budget ordinance.
According to the budget. which is
now up for consideration, the saving
on salaries alone will be S13.16O, of
which s10,980 will be in the police de-
partrnent alone. Should the budget be
passed, the mayor figures, that in The
payday on the 18th of October, total
of s54S would be paid out which should
not be. The budget cuts sal ~'es u
total of $1,o96 a month, which OF course
includes the cut in the police depart

Wheat Farmers and
Cotton Farmers.

The farmers of Kansas raised the
greatest crop of wheat on record this
wear, but Notwithstanding that nearly
every farmer has more wheat thah
he knows what to do with, it is next
to impossible to buy any. II every
pound of wheat that was raised this
year were to be thrown upon the mar
ket at once the result would be col
lapse in prices-not because wheat Is
not actually worth as much as II was
last wear at this time, but because
+bere would be temporary over-sup-
,1v in this country, with no means OF
exporting the enormous quantity o.
fered. Realizing this the farmers o1
Kansas and for that matter, farmers
throughout the wheat growing stateS'
are holding their wheat until normal
conditions obtain.
The same condition confronts ne
South with reference TO cotton. Inc
staple is worth as much today a. II
was last year at this time and those
who are able to hold it will realize
usual prices in the course of com
paratively short time. The only
trouble is that the cotton farmers OF
the South, as a general thing, are lot
as prosperous as the wheat farmers
and. as they cannot eat cotton as the
northern and western farmer can eat
wheat. find themselves in rather
awkward position for the time being.
B71t the idea that the South is facing
dire disaster is all wrong. The values
are here just the same as they nave
been all along and realization of that
fact will do much to allay any feeling
that things are rapidly going to pieces.
A little reflection will convince even
the most skepticaI that resumption
of normal conditions is the matter CT
but a short time and, with that reali-
cation coupled with determination to
'ssit tight" until the clouds roll away,
will come a quick return TO continued
progress and prosperity.
The farmers of Kansas are follow
ing the right line. Let the farmers !
of the south emulate their example. !
And while the sitting tight" is in |
progress. let's muzzle the chronic ca
