Little Eva Has a Party;
Uncle Tom Is Absent

Little Eva had" her Christmas
party at the i'm conducted along
Washington's gay white way by one
Senior Castelli. yesterday, and while
the occasion WAS set for early In the
evening so that the little guests
would not arise with sleepy eyes to-
day, the party really lasted far into
the night and kept many mothers
and nurses worried for the welfare
OF their proteges.
Uncle Tom and Topsy were un-
able to come to Eva's Christmas
festivities this year. contrary to the
ethics OF all functions for which
Miss Eva is noted in her circle. but
the last time Eva gave party
tncle Tom and Topsy didn't get
home until so late that Miss Eva's
mother had to punish them.
Primarily the party was supposed

D0NNELLY GOES OUT
OF CLASS ON SKATES
Former Southern Champion viii
Compete in Distance Event
Against Whiting Christmas.

Roller-skating races at the Central
Coliseum have attracted so much at
tention from the votares Of the sport
since Carroll Donnelly. former South
crn champion. has been meeting all
corners this week, that Manager Whit
ing has decided to take the lad out OF
his class as a special Christmas feature
and race him in a distance event. there
by giving challengcrs better oppor
tunity to win.
Donnelly is a sterling little skater.
and has created an impression this
week, but his cXpcrtness lies only in
short distance events. He is essentially
sDrinter, and his training has been
entirely along those lines. However
Christmas night he is going to compete
against Willie Whiting In threc-mie
event. and the followers of the sport
arc at Wits ends to pick winner.
Whiting is as good distance skater as
there Is in this section. and whether or
not Donnelly can go the distance SLOWLY
and use his sprinting ability, say in the
last mile, is a question.
DOnnelly is still meeting all comers,
and will he at the rink tonieht to take
on any bidders" Last night Donnelly

latter having competed as a relay team.

The above telegram is, in nutshell, the story of
the victory of American Falls dry farmers and Am
ercan Falls dry farm wheat at the International Dry
Farming Congress now being held at Denver. The
victory is notable one and Mr. Barber in private
letter to this office tells that had our exhibit been
better prepared, we would have undoubtedly been
first. The Canadian exhibit Of Turkey Red was
splendidy prepared and won over American Falls
grain largely from the fact that it scored highest on
color.
Seventeen samples of fall and spring hard wheat
were assembled from which the winners were chosen
and Lindauer Mcknight and Bethke were all includ-
ed in the segregation Mr.. Barber's telegram first
received stated that he did not think we could win
against Canada and Colorado on account of color
But all the way through he says our exhibit is at
tracing much attention.

PROSPERITY AT RExFORD.
Thomas County Town Had . Great
Yeai in 1914.

HexIord. Kan. jan 29-Since harvest.
1914. and up to the close Of the year, the
ROCK Island road hauled 312 cars of wheat
out OF Rexford. This is not all.
Durlng the year this road also hauled 81
carloads OF other grains. and stock of all
xmas. The business man has been figur-
ing up what this means to Rexford and
this part of Thomas county and claims
tnat the year 1914 was one of the most
profitable to everybody in the history Of
the town. Take an average OF ], 400 BUSH
els OF wheat to q car load and this means
a total OF 1885, 800 bushels. and the prices
paid for wheat ranged from 60 cents to
$.15 or an average of IS cents, which will
total $413.960 for the wheat alone This is
not ALL
During the year there was shipped to
Rexford in carload lots 142 cars. The total
increase of business at the depot for the
iast haif OF the year shows 81, 80.58 over
the corresponding months in 1913. These
ngures are not the aggregate totals but
only the increase in the last half Of the
year.
The two Rexford elevators report that
there are thousands of bushels of wheat
yet in the hands of the farmers, and many
stacks not yet threshed- Encouraging re-
ports come in that the outlook for an
other big harvest in 1916 is promising at
this time
All branches of trade here report good
business. one firm reporting business in
1914 aggregating close to SIS. 900. and this
flrm does a cash business, too.
Another industry here Is raising turkeys.
Chris. KnudSOn sold In 1914 turkeys to the
amount of $780, He brought to market
mere a Few days ago rs, for which he
received a check for $S3. The poultry,
eggs and cream Industries bring in thou
sands OF dollars annually.

Bill Making Kansas Towns
Liable for Liquor Damage.
See to It That Pr0hibftory Law
Is Enforced Rigidly.
KEEP after POLICE FORCES
Taxpayers Would Take Interest
in Law Endorsements.
City Administration to Blame
for Trouble Over DRINKS.

A bill has been presented to the at
torney generals office for his APP
proval before it is to be introduced in
the legislature that will make the
ages caused by the sale of liquor
within the city. The bill is intended
to make the cities Of Kansas see to it
that the liquor laws of the state are
city.
Under the present laws and the rul-
ings of the supreme court, the person
who sells liquor may be held liable for
damages, but most jointists have no
property to start with that could be
used in the collection of a judgment.
The supreme court has. given judg-
ments several times against the joint
lists who sold liquor to man and the
purchaser caused more or less damage
to persons and property after getting
drunk. Most states now provide that
the saloon keeper may be held liable
for damage to his patrons because OF
the liquor he sells.
The prohibitory law is strictly en-
forced except in half a dozen of the
cities Of Kansas. In most. cases it is
the fault or the policy of the city Of
ficials not to enforce the law. The
city gets revenue from the fines, not
only of the jointists, but also from the
DRINKS and, in some cities. many of
the people do not want the law en-
forced.
But if the city can be held liable
for damages for drunkenness when
the liquor was purchased in the city
and the cities are forced to pay the
| damages a few times and pay some
h h court costs anC hen the city
have to make an extra tax levy to
meet these bills lit is expected that
the taxpayers will rise and make
some few remarks about officials who
do not enforce the law and take steps
to get officials who will see that the
jointists are kept out of town. Under
the proposed law a man who buys IL
| quOr and goes home and beats up his
wife may sue the city for the damage
to himself and the wife may sue the
city for damages to herself and to
her home and her wounded feelings
and also for damages her husband.
