HERE'S A NEW KANSAS PLAN
State Agricultural College Will Help
Ministers in Building Up Com
munity Life in Country.

A correspondence round table"
which will act as a clearing house for
the ministers of rural communities is
one of the methods by which the Rev.
Walter Burr, rural service expert in
the agricultural college, expects to
help the ministers build a better
community life.
This is the first time that such a
plan has ever been tried, and it is
being enthusiastically received by
church workers over the state, more
than so having already signified their
intention of enrolling Other minis
tiers interested in the rural problem
should enroll as soon as possible.
This correspondence course will be
offered to the ministers free of charge
and will consist of ten lessons, or
meetings of the round table Any
problem with which minister is hav-
ing difficulty in his home community
may be asked in the course 1t is
probable that some other minister in
another part of the state will have
answered this question in a satisfac-
tory manner and the two men will be
placed in touch with each other so that
the one may have the benefit of the
others experience.
For example, Preacher Brown of
Sedgwick county, wishes to organize
a community club, but encounters GER
tain difficulties. He requests sugges-
lions from Mr.. Burr. Pastor Jones
of Smith county in replying to one OF
the general questions tells how he or
ganized community club Mr.. Burr
sends Pastor Jones' address to
Preacher Brown, and the two are en-
abled to correspond, with the result
that Preacher Brown solves his prob
lem.

County School Bill Is Ready.

The bill that will take away from
the cities of the state any influence in
the election of the county superin-
tendents of schools has been passed
by the senate. Some of the counties
have larger population in the cities
than in the country districts, and the
cities have been dominating the cleo
ton of the county school heads The
bill provides that the superintendent
who has control over all the country
schools and none over the city schools
should be chosen by the people out
side the limits

AMEND FIRE MARSHAL LAW
New Measure Increases Present Per-
centage of Levy Against CoIIec-
tions of Insurance Companies

Observation-Disclosures to the pres
ent state fire marshal law have been
adopted by the house and checked up
to the senate in the measure intro
duced by Travis, of Allen. Tho meas
ure as passed increases the percent
age of fire insurance receipts that can
be levied upon the companies for the
support of the fire marshal depart
ment from three-eights of l per cent
to one-half OF 1 per cent
Except for his chief deputy, the fire
marshal is limited to 1,500 year, or
proportionate per diem, for each of
his other deputies. This amendment
was inserted by Moxcey, of Atchison,
who pointed out that the state fire
marshal is the only state official en-
powered to appoint as much help as
he pleases and at any salary he thinks
all right. Doerr, of Pawnee. helped
Travis in fighting the Moxcey amend
ment, declaring that the 1913 act was
a superb piece of legislation, monu-
mental in fact, and ought not be dis
turbed more than necessary
The house also passed the senate
bill providing for annual reports to the
state fire marshal of fire losses paid
by the companies.

DISPLAY 0F HAhDWORk 0F FLORENCE PRISONERS

Among the interesting figures of the sociological exhibit at the state fair in charge of Dr. Mary Neff, will be a display of handiwork of the inmates of the state prison at Florence. The specimens will include the attractive inlaid wood and silver work on which some of the prisoners have displayed the greatest skill
 For long time it has been the habit of the prisoners in the institu- tion to engage in the manufacture of fancy articles decorated with a combi- nation of inlaid silver and wood and these articles were usually sold and the money turned over to the families of the men who made them. Quite an industry has been developed in this way and it is the intention of Dr. Neff to bring home to the public the fact that even though these men are imprisoned. they are, nevertheless, making an effort to aid their depen- dent ones by turning out specimens of their handiwork during their few hours of leisure.

ATTACKS MERCHANTMEN
 WITH AEROPlAhES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Nov. 5.-Germany ap- pears to be trying a new method of attack on British merchantmen with aeroplanes. The Cork steamer Avocet which has arrived at Man chester tells of a story, according to the Liverpool Journal of Com merce, of a 35-minutes engagement with three hostile aeroplanes at IT o'clock in the morning of Oct. 3O One of the aeroplanes was a large battle plane which dropped 36 bombs, some of which missed the steamer by not more than seven feet.
 When the bombs were exhausted the battle plane fired on the Avocet with a machine gun. The ships sides and decks were struck by bullets but all the crew escaped in jury.
 At a height of from 800 to 1000 feet, all the aeroplanes dropped bombs and attacked the steamer with rifles The Avocet's escape was due to zigzag maneuvering and the fact that the aeroplanes dared not fly lower.

Change amounting to about five dollars and a few papers, were secured
 The night clerk slept not ten feet from the register The robber had to work his way behind the desk, but he managed it all, and as a result he is today a few dollars richer. The cash register is extremely heavy, but it was handled apparently without trouble and when it had been carried into the alley in the rear, the drawer was opened and the cash and a few incidentals were taken. The key to the hotel safe and other items of greater importance were not mo- tested

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO. Nov. 5.-Signs of much enlarged receipts here next week brought about a setback in wheat values today after the market had reached a level 10 cents above the low point of October 25,
 The finish was heavy at B O F to 5s net decline. with Dec. at 104 $4 m 7s and May at 1O5B. Corn closed F 62s up, oats with a gain of a shade and provisions unchanged to 10 cents higher.
 Evident attempts to grab profits by shipping wheat to Chicago from other leading terminals. notably Minneapolis and Kansas City. gave to traders here a desire to realize on holdings. re- wish did not manifest itself in action, however. until the December delivery here had touched TOT, and had acquired a premium of 3s cents over May.
 Corn advanced in sympathy with wheat and owing to prospects of unsettled weather and talk of export sales by way of the Gulf of Mexico Disappointing returns from huskers were numerous. Oats kept within narrow range. Seaboard demand continued
 Packers buying rallied provisions. At first the market was weak be- cause of lack of support.
