CONSUMERS LOSERS.
Short Weight Bottles and Cans Have
Returned.

Short weight bottles and cans are
finding their way back to Kansas.
That is the statement in a report by
L. A Congdon, head of the state de-
partment of food and drugs. Cong
don declares that use of imperfectly
blown bottles and improperly made
cans has resulted in Kansas consum-
ers being on the short end of numer-
Gus short weight sales.
AS a result of Congdon's report, the
state board of health will make closer
inspection of canned and bottled
goods. Just at this season of the year
imperfectly canned goods, even stale
products, are not infrequently found.
This condition exists more extensively
in the smaller towns of the state. AS
the law covers the small towns as well
as the larger ones, Congdon will in
sist on the removal of question: BILE
goods from the shelves of local mer-
chants.

The State Cannot Reach Its Money

Thirty million dollars of the states
cash. bonds and securities are today
locked in the big vault in the office
of Earl Akers, state treasurer, and

While there is an Old saying that
Figures don't lie nevertheless fig
ures can be made distressingly mis-
leading. A report issued by the state
board of health, covering eXamina-
tions of rfilk sold in various cities of
the state. shows that 1875 per cent OF
the samples of milk taken in Topeka
were illegal" While literally true,
the statement is decidedly misleading,
and to make bad matter worse, one
of the local newspapers jumped TO the
conclusion that Illegal meant
dirty" Naturally there was indlgna-

WEsTBROOK SUES DE FOREST
Town Attches Property in Suit to Re-
 cover Moneys.

Middletown, Aug. 27.--Attachmen ents were made by Deputy Sheriff Robert Patterson yesterday upon property in Westbrook belong to Frank I. De- Forest, in behalf of that town in a suit to recover moneys which DeForest is said to have promised to pay. The suit is returnable to the superior court Tn Middlesex county. Some time ago DeForest was tax collector of Vest brook and his accounts were found 10 be in confusion.
 The town brought suit to recover $2,700, which it was claimed DeForest owed from his tax collections, but later a settlement was presumably reached whereby DeForest agreed to pay $670 a year until the alleged de- 1Icit was balanced. The first payment was to have been made last March but the time was extended until Aug. 1. The present suit is brought be- cause the instalmenc is not paid.

Loans on Cotton
at 6 per cent

Last year the First National
Bank loaned money to EVERY
farmer who offered warehouse
receipts for cotton as security,
and by means of these loans
hundreds of bales of cotton were
stored and sold later at higher
prices which put thousands of
dollars in the pockets of our
farmer customers.
We do not advise the farmers
to store their cotton this year nor
do we advise them to sell at the
present prices. This is matter
which should be decided by each
individual farmer according to
his needs and circumstances.
We are prepared however to
make loans, secured by ware
house receipts for cotton, to
those farmers who may wish to
hold their Gotten at Six Per Cent
Interest.

correspondent, an effort is being
made here to have the Southern

instead of flag stop as at pres

would seem, without incon-

these trains, neither of which
have passed Fort Mill without
stopping since the new schedule
became effective some weeks
ago.
