TO THRESH OUT THE STRANGE
PART OF SCHOOL SITES

Something strange about the
school sites which the board of eGT-
cation intends to buy was discovered
when the purchase of the grounds
was reviewed by the school commit
tee today. 80
Several cases where the school
board intended to buy lots with
buildings on while there were vacant
lots next door were discovered.
The matter was put over until the
next meeting of the council commit
tee, when it will be threshed out and
explained by the trustees and alder
men.

BUCK CAN'T SEE TAKING AN
OPINION FROM ETTELSON
Scant respect for the ability of
Corporation Counsel EtteIson to give
an impartial opinion when an action
of the school board is the issue was
expressed by Aid. Buck at a meeting
of the judiciary committee today
In buying new school site in the
35th ward the school board disre-
garded the express order of the city
council. In discussing the action of
the board it was proposed that the
corporation counsel be asked for an
opinion as to how far the committee
might proceed againstthe board.
This brought Buck to his feet.
Judging from opinions Mr.. EtteI-
son has already given, # will be use
less for this committee to ask him
for an opinion which will favor coun-
Gil when the school board is con-
cerned,' said Buck. ct is settled in
advance that his opinion would be
that the council committee has no
power to act against the school
board"

STOP CATTLE TRADE
Kansas City Packers Worried Over
Outcome of Embargo on Santa Ee.

Kansas City, No, Aug. 30.-The
embargo on live stock by the Santa
Fe was Il matter of grave concern to
the packers today. If the embargo
lasts more than a week packers said it
would result in a comparative shut
down as that line handles a large per-
centage OF the live stock shipments
into Kansas City.
Cut Off Water and Ice.
Dallas, Tex, Aug. 30.-Water and
ice supplies, electric light and power
and electric transportation in every
city and town in the southwest de-
pending on coal or other fuel trans
ported by railroads will be stopped in
definitely if the threatened railroad
strike materializes Monday.
Cities supplied by oil and gas piped
directly from the fields will suffer
less seriously. Grocers say a shortage
of foodstuffs, particularly canned
goods, is probable if the strike con-
tinues more than a week.

STILL DRY
Temperatures Lower This Week
Than Any Since June.
Only Slight ShOwers-Wheat
Being SOwed in Northwest.

This was the coolest week Kansas
has experienced since the middle of
June but the severe drought continues
over at least three-f ourths of the state,
according to the summary of weather
and crop conditions issued by the
weather bureau for the week ending
August 20. Only light showers were
reported during the week except in
few very limited localities in the
southern part of the state that re-
ceiVed from half an inch to an inch of
rain. Temperatures as high as 100 de-
grees were rare and the nights were
delightfully."- cool in all parts. Temper
atures were within ten degrees of
freezing on Monday morning at sew
eral stations.
There has been a still further drying
up of the corn crop except in a few
counties along the Missouri river and
a few extreme northwestern counties.
Cutting corn for enSilage and fodder is
now in progress i'll all parts of the
state. In some southeastern counties
from fourth to half of it has already
been secured. The outlook for a yield
of grain from the corn is very poor as
large per cent of the stalks are with
out ears and those that have formed
will be mostly nubbins. In some west
ern counties whole fields have been
destroyed by grasshoppers.
The sorghums as a rule are not re-
ported to be seriously damaged by the
drought except in some southeastern
counties but their growth has been
greatly delayed and in the western
counties it is doubtful whether they
will mature sufficiently for grain. In
the northwestern counties they are
just beginning to head out.
Wheat Sowing Begun.
Threshing wheat is still in full swing
in the extreme northwest part of the
state, where it is hardly half done. and
considerable stack threshing is to be
done yet elsewhere. Wheat is gener-
ally being marketed fast as cars
can be obtained for it.
The ground is too hard and dry to
make much Roadway with fall plow-
ing except in the extreme northwest

12 LAND MORTGAGE BANKS
 TO BE ASKED OF CONGRESS-

WASHINGTON. May IA bill to establish twelve regional land mort gage banks as part of the administra- ton rural credits legislation program was perfected by the House banking committee and will be urged for pas sage.

 Subscriptions to stock would also be made by the loan associations.
