Big STORM COSTLY.
CCon+inued from Page One.1

ICon+inued from Page One.l
Smoky Hill and western portion of
Kansas, $350,000; Kansas valley east
of Junction City, $1,000,000. OF this
amount $1,000,000 represents damage
to bridges.
Flood damage in the Neosho val
ley which includes also damage by
the May floods, is given as little
more than 100000 by H. K. Holcomb,
lola Kan, official in charge of this
district.
1t is impossible to estimate with any
degree OF accuracy the damage the
state suffered from hail storms during
this month, but in all probability it
is in excess of s1,O00,000-
The monetary loss from thunder
storms and tornadoes was much less,
persons that passed through them,
made them in a way of equal impor-
lance to the floods.
Thunderstorms occurred in all parts
of the state almost every other day
and the total number was one of the
greatest for any month on record.
Lightning Caused Trouble.
Definite statistics as to the loss of
but telegraph and telephone compan-
les in the state report the greatest
amount of trouble from lightning they
have ever experienced in any month.
Hail storms were numerous and Sc
we're during the month and caused a
great amount of damage. The great
est destruction reported was in Rush
and Pawnee counties, where 10000 to
$4,000 acres of wheat were destroyed
and a great deal more, extending north
into Ellis county, badly damaged. On
the sixteenth much damage was done
by hail near Greensburg.
On the twenty eighth hail was de-
structive in parts of Morton county
and on the twenty-ninth in Rocks.
On the thirtieth a hail storm in the
northern part of Shawne county did
great damage to crops, especially
corn, in a narrow strip extending from
Royt southeast to beyond the county
| poor farm, five miles north of Topeka.
After this storm hail lay on the ground
1 to a depth of from three to five inches.
Damage by Floods
The most disastrous floods or the
month occurred in the valleys of the
Republican and the Solomon. At Be
/ lott on the Solomon the flood stage,
/ l s feet, was passed on the fourth and
! the crest of 31.4 feet reached on the
sixth. This flood subsidized rapidly, but
another rise began on the seventeenth
/ and reached a maximum stage of 81.

At Topeka crest of 23.S feet was

KANSAS kLEADER
Fly Swatting Idea Spreading
Over the Entire Country.
''Swat a Fly" Slogan Originated
at a Baseball Game.

That Kansas is recognized as a
leader among states in sanitary mat
tiers is shown by numerous letters re-
ceived by the state board of health
from various parts of the country in
quiring into Kansas methods. One
received recently. from w. c. Allsup.
secretary of the MERGED (Calif.)
Merchants Association, asserted that
an attempt was to be made to clean
up that section of the state and that
the work would be patterned after
that in Kansas. Especial interest has
been manifested in the ''Swat the
Fly campaign.
This slogan, an idea of DR.. S. J.
Crumbine, secretary of the state
board of health, was born six years
ago of a baseball enthusiasts cry. 1t
was in the ninth inning and the home
club needed but one run to tie the
score, when a man sitting next to DR..
Crumbine, shouted:
Jaw, swat a flyi"
Doctor Crumbine was in the midst
of an anti-fly campaign and immed-
lately adopted the fans" phrase
Since it has come to be household
word throughout the United States.

City. The musicians marched in a
body to hear the organ play. They
had heard so much of this organ, the
largest one between Topeka and the
Pacific coast. Then they gave a nice
parade for the Salt Lake citizens. In
the afternoon they t.dalIied" in the

advertising for the city and state to
have such an excellent representation
at the convention.
The Stop at Alliance.
AIarshalIs band was favorabIy re-
ceivcd at Alliance, Neb., Sunday, July
Is Tha band stopped there for an
hours concert. Here is what the Al
lance Times says about the Topekans:
Alliance music lovers enjoyed a
great treat Sunday in the visit of Mar
shalfs band of Topeka, Kan. The or
ganization, consisting of more than
thirty pieces, arrived al noon, coming
almost direct from Seattle.
when Secretary Fisher of the Ali
ance Commercial club, heard of the
proposed itinerary of the band, ne at
once got in touch with its manager
with the view of securing a stop here
and a concert In this Mr.. Fisher was
successful as in about everything else
he goes after. And the result was a
splenJ4d concert lasting more than an
hour, to which fully one thousand
peopled listened with delight
1T was a musical entertainment
equal to, if not better, than anything
ever heard by Alliance people. They
were treated to :: dinner at the Ali
ance cafe and a ride over the city as
the guests of the Eiks. Here's to Mar
shalls band and may Alliance some
time be favored with another visit
from it!''

The building was packed to capacity.
MarshalI's band was the only one
there and their music was greatly APP
preciated by the residents OF the
northwestern metropolis.
Tuesday morning they took an act
i've part in the parade, which was nine
miles in length. Wednesday similar
affair was held, and the different
bands paraded around in the huge
stadium.
Thursday all the seventyfive bands

were formed together in one great
musical organization at Woodland
Park. More than 1000 musicians
played the national anthem. The
amusing feature of this was that it
took at least ten minutes before the
players in the back rows could under
stand when to stop.
On that evening, the Kansas dele
cation, accompanied by the hand
somely appointed bandsmen, toured
every motel and cafe and possibly eV-
cry cabaret in Seattle. They visited

According to Harry Snyder, the
drummer, he heard many remarks
while marching along that showed
that the Topeka band was making a
hit. What band it that?" he heard
time and again. Topeka people in the
various cities visited could always be
recognized by their yells when Mar

nearly a hundred bands, Marshall's

Tornadoes occurred in widely scat
tered localities on five days during
June causing the loss of six lives, the
injury of 16 other persons, and de-
stroy1ng property the value of which
is estimated at close to 100000, most
of it being farm buildings and stock.

vile in kiowa county, and moved to-
wards the northeast until it reached
when it veered to the north and moved
along the west line of Stafford county

State Will Close Theaters No
Obeying the New Law.

The little caravan of white topped
prairie schooners slowly wound it's
way around the cliff, when from be-
hind huge rock came the band of
bepainted and befeathered Indians.
One of them seized the fainting blonde
beauty and threw her, like a sack of

of him.
But from a rocking blackboard
sprang the tall and handsome hero.
He fired his rifle, and
Just then a voice from the back of
the picture theater was heard:
stop there, operator. Well cut out
agony in it,
All In Movie.
1t was in a little theater in Topeka
and the two state motion picture CEN
sors were at the work which makes
them the envy of the small boys of the
state. For, il is pointed out, they see
an average of 23 films a day each and
are paid for it.
Miss Carrie H. Simpson of Paola
and the Rev. Festus Foster of
Kansas City, were appointed censors
April -. last, under an act of the re-
cent legislature. Every film brought
into the state after that date must first
be examined by them before it can be
shown The state collects 81 for each
reel inspected.
One Thousand a Month.
About one thousand films are CEN
sored each month and thus far only
about two per cent have been con-
demned. However, numbers of small
scenes, which have no material effect
upon the action of the plots, have
been eliminated, because the censors
believed they were not fitted for the
eyes of children.
In the event the motion picture op-
orators of the state do not believe the
rejection of a film is justified, they are
NV Ia no ric of fir-ct
to w. d. Ross, state superintendent of
public instruction and then to a board
consisting of the governor, the secre-
tary of state and the attorney general.
Thus far, however, only four such ap-
peals have been taken.
No Strain On Eyes.
Questioned as to the strain on their
eyes, both censOrs, each of whom
views about 500 reels of film monthly,
asserted that they had noticed no i'll
effects.
An order probably will be issued
early in August directing the various
motion picture houses showing films
which have not been censored by the
state board.
With the issuance of such an order
every film shown in the state first
will have to be inspected by the censor
board in Topeka. The courts recently
declared that the censorship law was
constitutional and censorship was be-
gun April IL. Mr.. Ross pointed out
that he was allowing the intervening
time that uncensored films which were
in Kansas before April IL would not
be a loss to the motion picture COM
panieS.
Thus far the two censors have
brought an income to the state of
about $4,000 with an expense of about
5000.

Well, the low neck idea is probably the
newest thing yet, but it already has found
favor. The cravat or scarf is rather draped
around the neck than tied and a wide
flowing cravat is used. The shirts that

terials.

tOrney-general wiped out Of the state
committee all public oficeholders with
his decision to the effect that under
the new primary law officeholders like
Mr.. Murphy could not serve in or
educational capacities with political
parties.
Now the democrats are trying to
persuade Peter Meyn, a banker of
Hammond Ind, to take the place, Il
is reported here. Mr. Meyn has been
a democratic candidate in a self-sac-
rificing way for many years. He has
been run for office time after time
when there appeared no chance for
a democrat
Meyn Good Loser.
Now the democrats here say they
are trying 10 make him accept the
job of district chairman, the appoint
ment to be made by Bernard Korbly,
state chairman, knowing that it will
be hard TO carry the district. But
Meyn is a good loser and keeps the
party organization we'll together, they
say, therefore they are prOdding him
on.
County activity in all parties is be-
coming marked now throughout the
state and the most significant situa-
ton comes from the fact that pro-
gressive tickets are being named in
many counties. This means that in
those counties the democratic tickets
will win hands down" and therefore
there is rejoicing among state leaders
here. who say these conditions also
point to the fact that there will sure
ly be a progressive state ticket in the
field.
