NORTON ON ABOOM
Owns Light and Water Plants
Planning Sewer System.
More Building Than in Past
Several Years Combined.

Norton, Kan, Aug. 14.-Norton and
Norton county are experiencing their
share of prosperity from the big wheat
crop just harvested. The threshfng
outfits are at work. Reports are COM
ing in that the yield is 20 % and in
some cases 80 bushels an acre The
county has more than an average acre
age planted to corn, and if the froSts
keep off for six weeks or two months
the yield will be the largest in the his
tory of the county. The ground is
soaked down to a good depth, and
where they have been dry for years.
The farmers say it means much to
them in the years to come.
With big crops in 1914 the people
of Norton began seeing daylight, said
one of her pioneer business men. This
year the county has seen bigger crops
raised and the town is on a bigger
building boom than for the last sew

completed or are under way and the
builders are Using better grades of ma

brick, 80 by 115 feet, of Paul Bro
quet, at a cost of about $4,000. 1t
has been leased to Kent & Son, of
Goodland.
The Farme rs elevator of 10000
bushels capacity, is nearing compile
ton.
That Norton is doing something in
the building line mention is made that
John Kershner has sold a carload of
plumbing goods here since March, last.
Norton is going to have system of
sewerage, which will cover about
three-fourths of the town. The con-
tract has been let to a Denver firm
for $4,000. 1t already has fine sys-
TENS of water and electric lighting.
On account of these splendid improve

HAS TWO WHITE WAYS
Hays Light Plant Volunteers Power;
Dean of Women Controls Switches.

Hays, Kan, Aug. 14-Boosting
Hays and the Normal has begun. The
first big thing of a series of big things
which will boost the city and its state
institution is the proposal of the Hays
Electric Light company to furnish free
Of charge to both the city and Normal
the Juice" for lighting Juanita ave-
nue. and Normal avenue westward
from Chestnut street. This will make
both these streets in reality white
ways. There will be eight lights to
each block. Each white way will be
five blocks long. This will make eighty
lighting stations. The approximate
cost which the light company saves the
city and the Normal school is s110
per month. 1t will be necessary, how
ever, for the cost of erecting the stand
ards to fall upon some other Shout
ders than the electric light company
and it is an assured fact that the citi-
zens, the town and the Normal school
and its friends will set up these stand
ards on which to place the lights OF
course the big cost of maintaining the
white way is the cost of electricity,
and it's initial cost is comparatively
small.
One of the interesting things which
this proposal has brought out is that
the lights for the white way will be
| on a separate switchboard at the light
plant and the control of this switch
| board will be in the hands of Miss

TENDER LIST. DR.. Jordan says that this
means that the lights for the two
white ways will be turned on at dusk
and will burn until 1890 except on
those nights on which there is an en-
tertainment at the Normal or in its
interests, which has been approved by
the dean of women. On those nights
the white way will burn as long as
Miss Brown sees fit to ask for it.
Hays will now have two white ways
of which to boast to the other towns
of western Kansas and the mainte-
nance of these two white ways will be
due to the generosity of it's privately
owned electric light concern in boost

REDS OFFERED TO FEDS.
Weeghman Turns Down Chance to
Break Up National League.


Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-Contro1 of
the stock of the Cincinnati National
league club was offered to Charles H,
Weeghman, president of the Chicago
Federals, for $255,O00 Friday but the
offer was declined it became known
today.
Weeghman said that Charles B.
Bultman a broker of Cincinnati, who
is acting for Warren N. Carter of
Pasadena, Cal, a prospective buyer of
the club, displayed certificates for 81
per cent of the stock.
pullman assured me that he could
deliver the goods" Weeghman said,
but when I did not warm up to the
proposition 1t was suggested that we
get President Gilmore of the Federal
league at New York. Mr.. Bultman
had a talk with him, but what he
was told I do not know.
"It was not a new thing to Presi-
dent Gilmore, however, as the league
was offered the controlling interest
in the Cincinnati club a month ago.
At that time the offer was turned
down, as we don't wish to break up
any league. I still believe in the senti-
mental part of the game and that is
the reason 1 would not listen to the
offer of Mr.. pullman"
That the controlling interest in the
Cincinnati club will be sold, however
at an early date was indicated by
Bultman, who said the deal would be
closed next week.

FOR TORRENS LAND ACT
Commission on Uniform Laws Adopts
U. S. Guarantee Measure.

Salt Lake City, Utah. Aug. IA
After having been under considera-
ton for ten years by the commission
ers on uniform state laws, the Torrens
land registration act has been adopt
ed by the conference by a vote of II
to Z, with Illinois. Kansas, Maryland.
assachusetts, Nevada, Rhode Island
and Wisconsin voting in the negative.
The act does away with abstracts
of title and provides that the state

the conference constitutes a recon-
mendation of the act to all state leg
islatures and is regarded as the most
important action of the conference in
it's twenty-five years existence.

BIG CAN'T TOURNEY
One Thousand Shooters Are
Headed for Chicago.
c. n. Wray VIII Represent the
Topeka Gun Club.

c. n. Wray. local representative OF
the National Cash Register company
and one of the best known members
or the Topeka Gun club Will leave to
night for Chicago to shoot in the
Grand American Handicap tourna-
ment next week
Chicago, Ill, Aug. 14.-Chicago's
grand American handicap, the annual
trap shooting classic of the world,
which gets under way in Grant park
Monday morning will see a field OF
over 1000 gun toters participating.
This was assured when Elmer Shaner,
manager of the International associa-
ton, upon his arrival here announced
that the original entry of sos amateurs
would be swelled by the addition OF
100 post entries and the nominations
of SO professionals
In point of number this exceeds
twice over the largest field that ever
competed in a Grand American.
The field of shooting will represent
every state in the Union and wilt be
made up of men who can write checks
in seven figures, men who count their
wealth by the wheat yield and even
youths who boast nothing more than
a lot of nerve and ambition. 1t will
be cosmopolitan gathering such as
few sporting events can draw together
Major to Open Shoot.
Major William Hale Thompson will
officially open the big tourney Monday
morning. He will fire the first shot
in a week that will be devoted to bust
ing clay targets. 1t is estimated that
about one million shells and an equal
number of clay birds will be used.
Elmer Shaner will take command OF
the tent colony on the lake front Mon
day morning. At a luncheon of TWEEN
ty-five members of the Chicago asso-
citation of trap shooters he was in
formed that everything was in readt-
ness for the event. The grounds will
be turned over to him with nothing
unfinished. This will be the twenty
third annual G. A H. at which Shaner
has been in charge and probably will
be the biggest he will have to handle
for several years to come.
w. E. Phillips, chairman Of the
board of directors, has dedicated the
traps. He banged at a few of the clay
f1iers and pronounced everything o. K.
Several other shooters have enjoyed a
practice workout.

awe and home sickness, and my mem

shipboard, a thousand miles from
here, a happy gathering of young
people, strangers all, happy? Yes!
Carefree? Most certainly! Someone
in soft sweet voice started the song,
