Late Paintings Of
Beets Develop Well

At the beginnin Of this week there
were about 300 acres OF beets TO be
planted yet 10 the Ordway district,
according to Col. J. B. Wadlington.
Mr.. Wadlington was not 10 the least
worrying about not having these
beets In and referred to cases where
extremely late paintings have made
excellent crops.
LAST year Joe Burris had to plant
one field the third time before he got
a stand. the last planting being on
June 27," said Mr.. Wadlington, but
he produced II tons to the acre. few
growers reaching that tonnage"
Mr.. WadIington stated that six
years ago this summer one 6eld at
Sugar City was planted on July 4, and
produced l3 tons to the care Of we'll
matured beets. The stand this year
is good aud will probably be consid.
erably above the average. Thinning
has been progressing fairly we'll, 400
acres having been cared for up TO last
Saturday night.

Memorial Services
Most Appropriate

The combination Memorial and
Decoration day services held 10 Ord.
way Sunday were carried out In ft-
ting manner despite the fact that the
threatening weather of the day and
the rains day or so previous slightly
interferred. 1t was a day filed with
appropriate music, and sacred services
at North Park and at the cemetery.
To Cheraw's band. the Second Reg
imeDt Baud Of the Colorado National
guards Is due considerable credit for
making the days program SO interest
Ing and appropriate. Members OF the
band came to Ordway 10 acceptance
Of an Invitation to come and furnish
music, and while here they we're the
guests Of Ordway for dinner.
Fora time during the morning 1t
looked as though 1t would be neces-
sary to hold the services 10 the Evan
gelical church, but by the time the
band men reached town and the line
Of march was formed it was deemed
an open air service, as had been orig
inally planned, could be held and
within a. few minutes the large num-
bers Of persons who had assembled
went to the park. The audience was
20 large that not more than half of
the people could have found seats in
the church.
Rev. Meeder of the Evangelical
church delivered the memorial ad.
dress which was most appropriate for
the occasion. His scripture lesson
was. read by Rev. Roberts Of the
Christian church while Rev. Barker Of
the Methodist church lead the invo-
cation and Rev. Stephenson OF the
Baptist church pronounced the bene-
diction Captain Fields extended
thanks to all those who assisted iu
the services and to the band. Music
was furnished BY both . choir under
the direction Of Otis. Boliscker. aod
the Cheraw Military Band.

Commission Men Up in Arms
Against New Statute.
1t Nearly Doubles the Cost of
Doing Business.
NO Benefit Is APPARENT
Will NeceSSitate Advancement
of Rates to COnsignOrs.
They Hope to Obtain Repeal by
Next Legislature.

Kansas commission merchants will
fight the enforcement of the new state
law regulating their purchase and sale
of farm products and putting their
business under jurisdiction of the
state board of agriculture. The law
becomes effective July 1 and it is
stated that a movement has been
started to organize the commission
firms of the state t stand out against
enforcement of the act which they
declare is unjust and unreasonable
regulation of their business.
The law compelling commission
merchants to purchase state licenses
and to make detailed reports of their
transactions, was passed at the recent
session of the legislature when the
commission men were not looking.
About the first news heads of COM
mission firms received was when they
read the reports that the law had been
passed. Now they are saying things
about both the law and the legislature.
That an effort will be made to bring
about the repeal of the law in 1917,
there is no doubt. But to live under
its provisions until that time means
an additional expense to commission
firms of from so to IS per cent, ac-
scording to statements of heads of some
of the larger firnss.zes 80 =
THE law means we must esta blish
new bookkeeping systems, employ
more people and do a lot of extra
our patrons said one commission
man who recited the grievances of his
own company and the troubles of his
associates. ''If the law is really en-
forced, it means that must increase
our rates and that will mean a howl
from our customers"
Less than forty commission firms
have paid their license fee with ia
cob Mohler, secretary of the state
board of agriculture. The law places
the enforcement of the act under
Mohler's jurisdiction.
The method of fighting the commits
ployed in the defeat of the pure shoe
law. The pure shoe act was passed in
1913. The day before the law became
effective, a local shoe firm, backed by
the state association, filed injunction
proceedings in the Shawnee county
district court The fight over the
constitutionality of the law dragged
through the courts for two years. Last
winter the law was repealed and the
state association paid the court costs
and quit the fight which they had won
through court delays and technical
proceedings
Now the commission men plan to
orlng injunction proceedings to pre-
vent the enforcement of the new law.
The suit doubtless will be filed in the
and the fight will be continued, if
possible, until the next legislative ses-
sion.
When the 1917 legislature comes to
Topeka, the commission men will not
be asleep. They will be on the Job
with an active lobby and will fight for
the repeal of the law
