WAR MAKES lola BOOM
Causes Revival of the Zinc and Ce-
mcnt Industries.

{. F. Scott of lola was in Topeka
Monday to attend the meeting of
the directors Of the Rural Cred
it's association, in session. Al
though in congress for many years,
first as congressman at-large, and lat
er from the Second district, Mr.. Scott
declined to talk politics. But about
lola and Iola's prosperity he did not
hesitate to talk.
"A few days ago" he said, "a man
put a little advertisement in my pa
per saying that he had a small cot
tage for rent. Within an hour and a
half, he told me, he had received 25
calls for that cottage
That demonstrates the present sit
uation in lola. There is scarcely a
vacant place in the city. Old store
buildings that were looked upon as
hopeless have been repaired and are
occupied. Everything is humming.
There are perhaps 1000 more people
in town than there were a year ago
at this time
Whats the reason?" was asked.
THE war replied Mr.. Scott. The
big demand for zinc has brought about
big increase in price and smelters
that have been idle for years opened
up and are working overtime. Then
1 the high price of cement is responsible
| for the opening up of the big cement

GETS LETTER FROM SLAYER.
Assassin of John Bush Copies Action
of ''POison Chef"

Salina, Kan, Feb. 29.-An anony-
nous letter. received by Mrs. John
Bush, widow of the murdered Saline
county farmer. adds another chapter
to the mystery which surrounds the
Staying of Bush. The missive. pur-
porting to come from the murderer,
says that the writer is conscience
stricken and will surrender if Mrs.
Bush will see that the reward goes to
his widowed mother.
The officers of this county are pre-
pared TO act in good faith with the
self styled slayer if the writer of the
letter really is the man wanted, but
they are inclined to be skeptical as to
the authorship of the message. The
reward $3.50, will be given to the
mother of the man if he proves to be
the right one.
John Bush was shot several weeks
ago white sitting in the kitchen of
his home near Shipton. The assassin
used a shotgun and fired the fatal shot
through a window. Several detec-
lives have been working on the case
but the guilty man has not been APP
pretended. Two weeks ago a dope
fiend was arrested in Webb City, Mo,
and confessed to the crime Investi-
cation proved that he was in Jail at
Galena, Kan, on the night of the MUIR
der.

A lot of people are finding fault with

expect to send it back to the factory.
He had too much trouble getting it.

The trouble with the color of the

rest of the equipment. 1t is a lighter
shade of red.

ment." he said, land this what L got.

FARMERS DENY DUCK STORY.
Barton County Men Resent Story
About Death in Cheyenne Bottoms.

Great Bend, Kan, Feb. 29.-Barton
county hunters, farmers and towns
men are busy circulating petitions
which they expect to have published
denying the stories of State Game
Warden Tegmeier and others that
thousands of ducks are dying from
disease on the Cheyenne bottoms.
The petitions state that there are
no ducks dying now, and that few
dead ones can be found anywhere on
the bottoms and that the death of those
found in mum bers was a result of the
Grips from the first shoot, which was
followed by intense freezing weather
for several weeks. Farmers who live
near the bottoms are among the first
to deny the published stories and de-
clare the bottoms is being given a
reputation that will be hard to over
come.

NORTON WANTS RAILROAD.
Thriving Town in Northwest Is After
the Salina Northern.

Norton, Kan, Feb. 29.-Norton be-
lieves it is the logical distributing
point for northwest Kansas and with
this in view is trying to pull the Sa-
lima Northern here. The connection
with Salina and intervening territory
with an outlet to the north would in a
measure fulfill these hopes. Smith
Center and Phillipsburg have their
ropes out for the new line, but Nor
ton expects to be heard from.
Norton has established a position
as a grain and stock shipping center.
A north AID south railroad would tap
several competitive lines and open up
to us markets needed. 1t would be
a safety valve on freight rates and
vital force to use in times of car
shortage: it would be in every way the
most valuable factor in the upbuild-
ing of the Greater Norton we are
looking forward to-
