sarina viii Aid Farmers.

With the idea of bringing the people
OF the country districts and the citi-
zens of the towns into closer touch
with each other, the merchants of Sa-
lima are forming an organization to be
known as the county community plan
The plan has been partly formulated
in the city and the farmers in the va
riouS townships are preparing to or
ganize individual societies, which later
will become affiliated with the city
organization.
Clarence C. Reed, a druggist, and
president of the Kansas Pharmaceutl-
cal Association is chairman of the
committee from the retail merchants
association; Fred H. Quincy, president
of the Planters State Bank, is the
chairman of the banking committee,
| and the chamber of commerce will
name a committee and chairman.
The committees will meet with com
mittees from each of the townships to
perfect the organization.
1t is the intention that the communi-
| ty plan shall take in the whole coun-
try for the general betterment of con-
| ditions, and will include special dem
onstrators, agricultural specialists and
other plans for general advancement.
Neighborhood clubs in the country,
with representatives on the county
| board will be a feature of the organi-
| zation
The plan, it is believed, will do away
with much misunderstanding existing
between the townspeople and the peo-
pie of the rural districts. 1t is be
lieved that representatives from the
city and from the country, working to-
gether for the same end, will be able
to bring about a perfect understand
ing. The bankers, committee already
has started movement to determine
definitely whether or not there is
enough seed corn in that county fol
spring planting.

The appointment means an entire
change of policy on the part of the

always been self-governing. Student
organizations were given the right to
make rulings for their own conduct
This student government, however,
has been so unsatisfactory to the fac

BILE over student discipline has brought
about the appointment of Mrs. Brown

The duties of the dean will include

absolute authority in all dance regu-

State Engineer.

Two million dollars, or half the
money expended yearly by the state
of Kansas for bridges and roads, is
wasted, according to Prof. III. A Rice,
of the University of Kansas, in an
address before the Kansas State En-
gineering Society. This waste is
caused because county commissioners
have the sole power to let contracts
for bridges and the building OF roads
Professor Rice advocated the estab-
lishmcnt of the position of State En-
gineer, and committee was appointed
by the Society to Investigate the
charges.
How do [ know that all this money
is wasted?" asked Professor Rice.
because bridges which should last
25 or so years are failing constantly
after two, three, or four years service.
Under the present law" he con-
tinued, cit is not necessary for the
county commissioners to consult the
county engineer before letting con-
tract. Who then is responsible for
our bridges? Three county commits
sioners-one a grocer. another farm
err, another a politician-each a man
of ability in his particular line, but
the line Is not DFluBe DuttuIIS- hCoo
men know absolutely nothing about
the designing of bridges. Contracts
are let frequently without drawing
or anything to show what sort of a
bridge is to be built. They usually
fix a sum to be spent-usually too
small-and the contract is let and the
bridge built. Maybe the county en-
gineer is consulted, but frequently
not. Everything is left to the hon
esty of the bridge company. Bridge
companies are like everyone else
They look out for number one. Who
is looking out for the county and tax
