SHOWS DANGERS STORES RUN
CASTING FARM HAND CHECKS

A few weeks ago mention was
made in the Reflector of the de-
STABILITY of an informal agreement
between farmers and merchants IN
regard to cashing checks for farm
hands. Many times men who say
they are farm hands but are I'M
known to merchants wish the mer-
chants to cash checks. Matters would
be simplified If the farmers would
telephone to the merchants in re-
gard to the men and this would re-
move the possible chance OF mer'
chant being the prey Of some I'M
scrupulOus fellow The following
dispatch from Chapman Illustrates
q case In point:
Three merchants of Chapman are
wiser but each Sc poorer for cash
ing checks for a stranger, for a short
time employed by o. L. Thisler, O
ranchman living ONE mile from
town. The checks are said to have
been forged by Edward McTague
Saturday night, who left immediate
" for the west. Monday being q
holiday, the forgery was pot dis
covered until Tuesday evening.

MAYBE THE BUREAU COUNTS
MEN WHO ARE HERE NOW

Rains will make the harvest late
this year, and 1t will be the last OF
Tune before wheat is cut in this sec
ton. The state free employment
bureau says that $4,000 harvest
hands will be needed in Kansas this
year. The report does not INCLUDE
anv estimate from Dickinson coun-
ty, and perhaps the state bureau
took into consideration the number
Of men now in this county who pro-
fess to be harvest hands. II all the
men who are in Abilene and the
ether towns of this county, tran
sients, will work when harvest
comes, the help problem will be
solved, or nearly SO. The CONNER
cial clubs free employment agency
last year was a big help to tie
farmers, and doubtless the CLUB
secretary will continue the Work
this year.
Wheat has declined the last
week, and after temporary gain
of l to 2 cents yesterday, dropped
2 to 8 cents today. This forces the
price rof new wheat in this county

WILL LUNCH EVERY MONTH
Commercial Club Enjoyed Fine Meal
and Varied Discussion

Those who attended the CONNER
cial club banquet in the basement
of the Lutheran church last nlght
and partook of the excellent meal
prepared by the Lutheran ladles
were unanimous on this point, at
least: that the Commercial club
ought to plan for a lunch once
month, to get together and talk
over matters Of common interest. IL
was left to President r. j. Long ana
Secretary Brewer to work out the
arrangements.
The discussion was varied. NJ H.
Malott, the first speaker, spoke IN
favor of a lunch once a month anu
the sentiment he expressed was en-
dorsed by j. B. Case, who followed
Mr.. Malott, and a number Of others.
Some we're in favor OF extending
the invitation to include those who
are not members Of the club. II. A.
Anderson mqde an excellent talk on
increasing the club membership. g.
A. Case expressed himself faVoraply
toward the playground supervisor
nlan which the federation OF Wo-
mems clubs advocates. A lengthy
discussion followed as to raising
about $3.50 which the ladies need
to add to their fund If supervisors
man and q woman are to be en-
ployed this summer. Sentiment OF
those present seemed without ex-
ception to be in favor Of the super
visor plan, but up until this time
few have understood the plan or
inst what the Commercial club IS
expected to do. Mrs. J. e. Johntz
was present and said that while the
club was late in reaching a decision
the club women desired very much
to have the supervisor plan tired
out, and although this year no
equipment would be purchased, the
plan could be given a start by hir-
ing a competent man and woman
assistant, which could be done for
about $500. The city commissioners
are agreeable to appointing a special
police officer for playground and
paying him $25 a month during the
summer vacation, the appointee to
be the man selected by the club wo-
men for playground supervisor. But
the Commercial club must by pri-
vate subscription or by appropria-
ton add to the fund.
That the Commercial club rooms
ought to be made more attractive
BY new floors, new Dapering ana
furnishings was stated by c. A. Case,
and in this he was supported by
Harry Lifts and q number OF others.
DR.. T. r. Conklin suggested the
need OF a woman's rest room sup
ported by the Commercial club. b.
u. Whitehead spoke In favor OF a
rest room and endorsed viii sterrs
view that the membership OF the
Commercial club should be eniarg-
cd or the dues increased until the
club becomes self-supporting and
can create a special fund for dona-
tions. a thing that is impossible un-
