State Humane Bureau to Continue.
Denver.-The State Bureau of Child
and Animal Protection will continue
it's work in spite of Governor Carl
sons veto of the appropriation for its
maintenance, according to E. X.
Whitehead, secretary and member Ct Ct
the board of directors. 1t has been
supposed that the bureau would dis
continue its work June /. 1--WE will
try said Mr.. Whitehead, "to raise
enough private funds to carry on this
work. If we are unable to raise the
necessary $4,000. we shall be obliged
to do without the services Of our six
paid officers. The bureau now has
1,164 volunteer unpaid officers SO we
would be able still to do good deal
of work. We will have the same au-
thority as officers that We have had
in the past The governors veto did
not and could not abolish the board of
directors, as the bureau was created
by the Legislature" The condensed
statistical report which the bureau
has just published shows the follow
ing work done from Dec. l, 1912, to
Nov. 80, 1914: Cases investigated and
given necessary attention, men, 1902;
women. LOTS; boys, $40; girls, s.1ss;
animals, 63,9S5.

Tuesday-Trinkard found a baby
cart in the village and wheeled 1t over
to bring the wine when drawing ra-
tons. A big success.
At 1:45 p m. the enemy began she'll
ing the road half way between Craon-
ellie and Blanc sablon wood. As usual
they send couple of small time shells
to test the range (they explode in the
air}. and then some big contact shells
which destroy anything they hit and
make another big hole in the ground
II they miss. The shelling stopped at
2:05-missing barn not a hundred

There was little volunteer "a new

fired his rifle. Up came the corporal
of the guard to know why the etcetera
he fired. "Oh, had cartridge that
looked bad SO I tried 1t. Then the
sergeant-major wanted to know why
he had fred and he pleaded that he
had seen two rabbits and could not
resist to pop at them. This is a real
war anecdote. I-only wish could give

Watched a French aviator being
fred at about 4:45 p. m. Four bat
teries were at him at>the same time,
six or seven shells exploding at once.
There was still enough light to see
the shells explode. The firing was 80
fast that counted. and found that
more than hundred shells exploded
in five minutes. The aviator few out
of range, but at Sis he came back
again, and, strange to say, was not
fired at.
They say that French aeroplanes
have a wire attached about two hun
dred feet long by which the observer
on board can flash signals by making
the wire spark. Thus officers all the
way back can read the signals with
powerful glasses.

inheritance Tax Receipts VIII Help.
Denver.-Prospect of the state col
lecting about 100000 in inheritance
taxes for the years 1914-1915 may go
long way toward relieving the
treasury of burdens imposed upon it
by appropriations. The amount in
sight from this source for the past
five months to May 1 is $S7s,056. This
is considered a wonderful showing by
the department under Attorney Cen
eral Farrar. A total of S19 cases have
been passed upon by Inheritance Tax
Appraiser Hubbard for the-five-month
period.

FROM MANY WITNESSES.
In summing up complete refuta.
tion of the statements sent out by the
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers as
sociation in an article on Facts About
Prohibition In Kansas" Governor Ar
thur Capper says:
Let us call the witnesses and see
what they think of prohibition in
Kansas. II anyone should know. they
should know, for they live with It and
under 1t:
The governor Of Kansas says pro-
hibition is great success.
Every state official who has spoken
out says prohibition succeeds.
More than 700 editors and newspa-
per men of Kansas in state conven-
tion, unanimously endorsed prohibi-
ton.
Every political party in Kansas fa-
vors the prohibition law.
No minister has ever opened his
mouth In favor of return Of license;
neither has any schoolteacher.
The president of Kansas Retailers
says prohibition pays.
4uo pI0S1uSut VI Iu0 0IaIo ooAAoA1

Is tremendous asset to Kansas.
One hundred and sixty-six bankers
have filed their testimony in favor Of
the law with the Temperance society
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
and only six could be found in all the
state who doubted the wisdom of this
legislation.
/ The president Of the Kansas Medi-
cal society believes in prohibition.
The president of the Commercial
clubs of Kansas has said that prohibi-
tion has added real value to every
acre Of Kansas land.
| The supreme court has testified in
the following strong language to the
benefits of the. prohibition law:
THE prohibitory law is well en-
forced throughout the state. 1t is as
generally well enforced as any other
criminal law. The enforcement OF the
law distinctly promotes social welfare
and reduces to a minimum economic
waste consequent upon the liquor traf-
fee and allied evils. The saloonkeeper
and his comrades have been excluded
from effective participation in the poll
tics Of the-state."
And to completely settle the ques-
ton for all time the legislature Of
Kansas. not by a majority, but unan-
imously passed at it's last session a
concurrent resolution affirming in no
uncertain language its belief in the ad-
vantage Of prohibition.
