Away back in the boom days of the
SOS, William P. Hackney erected the
most modern business structure in
Winfield. The building covered an
entire half block, faced the main
street and was the pride of the town.
Carved on the face of the building
were Hackney's initials-W. P H.
Hackney was proud-everyone re-
ferred to the Hackney building and it
commanded the best rentals in Win
field.
In the COS the panic came. Hack
ney's building was vacant. Hackney
was sore at heart and yet sorer OF
purse. His new building not only fail
ed to pay dividends, but was an actual
expense to its owner
One day an eastern client came to
Winfield to foreclose some mortgages.
He was met by Hackney. his lawyer,
at the train. As the men walked up
town, the easterner noticed the new
building and the glaring letters cut
in stone.

should stand idle" said the eastern
man.

SCHEDULE LAID OUT.
Plans Already Made For Work of Ag
gle Extension Department.

Manhattan, Kan. Aug. 3O.-Seven
institute schedules, each embracing 90
institutes have already been planned
part of the winters work for the
extension division in the state aGricul-
tural college The first institutes will
open October IL
The institute organizations have
held from six to nine monthly meet
ings the past year, the most of which
have been conferences regarding local
conditions. The program has been
made up by the local Crgs niZation-
Each year at the annual meeting of
the institute, at least two instructors
from the extension division are present
to aid in the program.
Two kinds of programs have been
prepared by the extension workers for
this years annual meetings. In meet
ings of the first type, the college force
supplies one-ha1f the program, while
In the second type, the instructors
from the college will give two lectures
or lessons each day on essential prin-
ciples of agriculture or home econom-
les. For example, in a two-day in
stitute, the live stock lecturer will
give four consecutive lessons while a
home economics specialist will give
four consecutive lessons on home eco
nOmics.
One demonstration period will be
given each day. The demonstrations
will be very practical and will be based
upon such subjects as stock judging,
corn judging, grain testing, soil test
ing, canning, or baking. The differ
ent institutes which have not already
arranged their annual meeting should
get in touch with the extension depart
ment so that a program may be ar
ranged and the meetings included in

COLLECTS AN OLD FEE
Clerk of the Court Receivers $245.o4
for the County.

Charles w. Bowers memory made
Shawnee county just $245.45 today
when the amount was turned into the
office of the clerk of the district court
by the Santa Fe Railroad company.
The case which brought this money to
the county was started in 1908 by the
Star Grain & Lumber company which
does business along the southern
Kansas branch of the Santa Fe. The
railroad had refused to furnish cars
to the company and had been sued for
the penalty which the law provides for
such an offense.
The case was opened in the district
court of the county and was appealed
to the state supreme court and then to
the United States supreme court.
Bower took the shorthand notes in the
case when il was first started and
while going through the books of his
office the other day he noticed that
the case had never been settled He
telephoned to the state supreme court
office about the matter and found that
no mandate had been returned from
the United States court. The state
court looked up the records and OBJ
tanned the maQdate. This was return
ed to Bowers office and the Santa Fe
paid the money.
Bower does not claim to have a
very good memory either.

degree of authority on this subject.

rightly applied to Golf Instruction

ic as well as golf, few of which have
aspired to this com bination.

The greatest wal in all history in
all its terribleness and picturesque

motion pictures taken by the camera
artists of the New York Sun and the
Chicago Herald and presented by The

tended both afternoon and evening
shows, and the general praise &C.
corded by the audiences is the best
recommendation possible for the films.
Large crowds are expected tonight, to-
morrow and Sunday when Duluth will
have it's last chance tc see these films.
There have been war pictures ga

the scenes OF carnage-but the pic

fields of battle, and they momentar-

performance of duty. Nothing like
these pictures has been seen in Du-

truth is revealed with all its horror.

BOARD Of REGENTS
MEETING MONDAY
Number of Important Question:
Will Come Up at Next &
Meeting l.,

The regular monthly meeting of the
! state board of regents will be held
next week. This months session will
in all probability last for three days,
as there are a number of important
questions to be settled by the beard
at this gathering.
President J. A. Worst of the state
agricultural college, Thomas P. Coop,
er, director of the experimental sta
ton, President F.. A. ,Hillyer of the
Sayville normal school, and President
Fred E. Smith of the state school of
science at Wahpeton, will appear be.
fore the board at the meeting next
week.
At last meeting Of the board the
heads of the other educational insti-
tutions in the state appeared, and
made known the needs of their res
pective institutions.
A number of vacancies in the var
ious schools will likely be filled by the
board. Any humber of applications
have been received from educators in
all parts of the country applying for
the position of educational expert in
the state. So far the position has
not been filled and the board members
are inclined to wait until they can Sc
cure an expert who is an expert in all
lines Of school work.
Secretary Charles Brewer of the
board will also submit a report on the
result of his trip to other states, in
the interests of the board of regents.
Methods employed by boards in other
states were studied by Mr.. Brewer and
a number of valuable ideas secured,
which will likely be taken up by the
board.
