WEAR IRON RINGS.
Germans and Austrians Here Have
 Contributed Valuables For Sufferers

That the patriotic Germans and Austrians in this city have contribut- ed heavily to the Teutonic war relief fund is attested by the number of iron rings being worn by the donors. Thus far 1000 such rings have been issued to those who have contributed money or other valuables towards the relief fund.
 The ring signifies that the wearer has given $1 or more either in money or valuables such as jewelry towards the relief fund. The ring is plain iron and but for the inscription on the inside might be significant of nothing. It is the inscription and the certificate accompanying it, tes- tifying to the fact that the possessor has contributed to the relief fund which makes it a cherished possession This unique method of raising funds which has been adopted by the na- tional relief committee with head quarters in New York is serving it's
 purpose well and huge sum has been raised from all sections of the country. Besides this method o1
 raising relief funds, the Austrians and
 Germans in this city have raised l s3,00O through subscriptions. More
 money is needed, however, and the Austrian-Hun Singing society
 plan to hold a picnic at Mountain | Grove, Saturday September IS and is 1 working now to make this event . | big success.

CHEMICAL INDUSTRY
 WILL BE PROBED
Dr. Norton Claims We Are Now Wasting $1OO, 100000 Worth of
 
 Coal Products.

New York. Aug. 31.-Not only the dyestuffs situation but every phase of the chemical industry will be taken up by the agents of the de- partment of commerce sent here by Secretary Redfield to investigate con- ditions in those trades caused by the war. Dr. Thomas H. Norton, the chief investigator, who began work here today, said: We are anxious to see how we can utilize the coal ln- dustry, in which we are now wasting products worth $10O, ,000,0
 Germany utilizes every ounce of coal by-products, but only 10 per cent. of our coke furnaces are equip ped for retaining coal tar products. Only few are actually recovering benzol, napthaline and carbolic acid, which are the bases of most of the coal tar products. Unfortunately, benzol and carbolic acid are used largely in explosives, with the result that these products are mostly taken up by the ammunition factories.
 "The potash problem is large. We import annually from Germany $15,- 900, 900 worth of potash, while off the coast there are supplies of kelp which are believed to have a value, of $15O,- 900, 900 now going to waste. We have at our door enough potash to meet the demands of the world, and to supply the needs of our crops, to- bacco, grain and other produce, in the way of fertilizer. We have always been dependent on Germany for pot ash.
 Photographic chemicals are van- ishing.
 We don't want to get caught in such a plight again, and the depart ment of commerce wants to stimulate American development so we can supply our own demands and then branch out into the worlds trade in chemicals.
 After this investigation is con- cluded," said pr. Norton, i've will he in A position to determine what can be done to relieve immediate necessi- ties, although I am firmly of the be- lief that q strong domestic dyestuff industry can be built up eventually"

STOPS SUNDAY HUNT
Governor Capper Orders Greeley
County Wolf Chase Checked.

Greeley county's wolf hunt for the
benefit of some moving picture
men, cannot be held Sunday, under
instructions issued today by Governor
Capper- In a telegram today to w.
M Glenn, county attorney of Greeley
county, the governor called attention
to the general statutes prohibiting
Sunday hunting in Kansas and urged
that the law be enforced.
Several hundred Greeley county
people planned to participate in a big
wolf hunt Sunday. Several movie men
expected to be in the hunt and to take
pictures of the chase, which in a de-
gree would be a countrywide event.
When this news came to the state
house, the matter was checked up to
the attorney generals office. AS a
result of a ruling by S. M. Hunt, as
Sistant attorney general, the governor
wired Glenn to enforce the dnti-Sun
day hunting law. If necessary, Glenn
is expected to bring injunction pro-
ceedings against the Sunday hunters.

Body Of Her Debtor

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. THE coroner
of Philadelphia today refused the re-
quest of boarding house mistress that
she be given the freak body OF her former
boarder so that she could sell It to the
highest bidder and thus get back money
she had advanced the man.
The body was that Of William Guten-
miller, who had committed suicide, His
heart was on his right side and other
organs were not in their natural position.
Physicians had discovered his strange
physical makeup and worry over his
peculiar construction, It Is claimed, caused
him to end his life. Gutenmiller owed
the woman a board bill and had borrowed
small sums from her from time to time,
telling her that when he died she could
get money for his body from medical
college.
The coroner told the woman that under
the law he could not give her the body.
It is probable that 1t will be turned over
to the state anatomical board IL no one
claims 1t for proper burial.
