was grave warning that without

The contest brought forth photo
graphs and authentic descriptions Of
337 trees In all parts OF the United
States, making q distinctly valuable
contribution to existing knowledge Of
native trees. 1t was found that, In all
probability, there is no living elm
larger than "The Great Elm" at Weth-
ersfield. Connecticut, which is % feet
in circumference and about 100 feet
tall, and is estimated to be $50 years
old. Many remarkable specimens Of
species which ordinarily attain only
email sizes were unearthed by the
contest, furnishing new records Of
maximum growth. A sassafras was
brought to light at Horsham, Penn
sylvania, which is Ii feet 10 inches in
circumference at four feet from the
ground, whereas, for example, not
long before this Georgia town claim
ed that 1t had the largest sassafras
tree in the world, though this tree
was only something over feet In cir
conference. A white birch was found
in Massachusetts, with girth OF II
feet 2 inches: pecan was found in
Louisiana with circumference Of 10
feet 6 inches. and catalpa In Ark
,ansas with a girth OF 16 feet. The
tallest tree found is yellow poplar IN
North Carolina, which Is 1913 feet
high and has a circumference of "a
feet inches.
The value Of the contest lies In its
contribution Of new information as to
the maximum growth attained by de-
ciduous species and the localities In
which the different species seem to
grow best. The relative sizes OF the
coniferous species are fairly well es-
tablished, the big tree OF California.
for example, being the largest in the
world; but information on the size
attained by deciduous trees in this
country has been very incomplete.

One account from Athens was that

SAVE WILLIAM PENN'S CHAIRS.
National HeirIooms, About to Fall
Apart, Have Been Repaired
by Blind Women.

Two quaint and graceful chairs that
once belonged to William Penn have
just been repaired by two women who
have never seen the chairs, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. The two women
are inmates of the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Home for Blind Women. The
chairs are preserved in the east room
of independence hall, on the second
floor. Year by year the cane bottoms
of the famous old relics have been
gradually cracking and falling out.
The committee In charge decided that
unless the cane was replaced the
woodwork might soon collapse. But
they did not dare to let the chairs
be taken out of Congress hall.
So they sent for Miss Ira Frost, mis-
tress of handicraft at the Industrial
Home for Blind Women, and she
brought with her to the room two of
the blind women who understood chair
repairing. The work was peculiarly
difficult, for 1t was impossible to erect
in Congress hall the Gaming table need
ed to hold the chairs firmly in place,
and, moreover, their woodwork was
soft with age. But the def seeing
fingers" of the bling women did the
work in spite of all the difficulties, and
now the precious William Penn chairs
are safe.

FLOOD RUINS POTATO CROP
Hundreds of Acres Along the Kaw
Valley Between Topeka and Kan
sas City are Total Loss.

Hundreds of acres of potatoes and
other crops in the Kaw Valley from
Kansas City, Kas., to Topeka have
been ruined by the latest overflow.
While the Kaw at its mouth did not
reach the height of the crest two
weeks ago more water came down the
stream and the river was higher than
two weeks ago at all points west Of
Kansas City. The current of the Kaw
was shooting half way across the Mis-
souri, while two weeks ago the Big
Muddy was forcing backwater up the
smaller streams.
j. G. Groves, a negro, known as "Po-
tato King" of the law Valley, said
that there was more water at Ed
wardsville than two weeks ago, but
that only about fifty acres of the po-
tato crop ON the north side of the
river at that place was inundated.
But across the river there was a
different story. The Santa Fe depot
at Holiday was flooded. West of the
station acres and acres of land were
inundated. The same was true at Lin
wood, Loring, Wilder and other towns
and farming communities upstream.
The water covered the lowlands first
on one side of the river and then the
other.

AFTER The MONEY
State Flooded With Schemes
OF Loan and Investment
Companies.
SEATON SENDS OUT WARNING
"Blue Sky" Department Tells Farm
ers How to Escape the SHARES
of the Grafters.

An effort will be made by Sam
Seaton of the blue sky" department
to keep the prosperous wheat farmers
of Kansas from being separated from
their money by the financial vul-
lures" as he calls them. The big
wheat crop with its big prices will
give the farmers lot of money. They
are out of debt and will be looking
for some place to invest their cash.
Seaton is afraid that the "vultures"
will get it.
In circular letter to the 500 news
papers of Kansas Mr.. Seaton gives
this warming:
Numerous mail order" loan and in
vestment companies have been, for
several months, making vigorous
campaign for Kansas business through
the United States mails. The banking
department has investigated a number
of these mail order enterprises and so
far not single one has been found in
possession of clean bill of health,
while most of them are clearly both
unlawful and fraudulent.
This sort of contract has been de-
clared to be nothing less than lot
terry scheme, as well as fraudulent, by
the courts of a dozen states.
The usual plan of business is to Of
fer the investor contract calling for
the monthly payment of various sums
for period of from 80 to 100 months.
After the payment of certain number
of installments, usually six, the in
vestors become eligible" to receive
loan; but when or whether the inves-
tor will ever receive loan depends
not only on the number of his certifi-
cate, but upon the further chance that
the company will sell enough more
contracts to provide the money with
which to make the loan.
The banking department takes this
opportunity Of giving the public fair
warning that money invested with
these mail order loan and investment
enterprises will almost certainly en-
tail loss. Any person receiving liter
ature of this character will confer a
favor by forwarding it to this depart
ment. The department also stands
ready to serve the public by making
prompt investigation and reply to any
person who is tempted to deal with
one of these concerns.
