The Sunday school on last
Sunday showed a great increase
over the attendance of the Sum
day before and also a big in
crease over the year ago.
We also noticed quite an in
crease in the church attendance
both morning and evening.
We are expecting a greater in
crease next Sunday and urge all
Of our membership and all Of our
friends to come out and help
make the day a big day in the
way Of the greatest attendance
that we have ever had in the
Sunday school.
In the evening service on next
Sunday we will have with us one
Of the leaders of our church a
a member Of the board Of educa-
| ton who will preach to US and
represent our college interests.
On account of the rally at
Sunny Dell on last Sunday we
did not hold cur service at Miss
ler and we are glad to say we
witnessed the biggest rally it has
been our privilege to witness in
a long time. There was enough
people there to fill the house
twice and they served a dinner
that would excite the envy of a
king. Everybody enjoyed the
program in the afternoon and all
went away with the thought
that Sunny Dell people know
how to have q good rally.
There will be preaching at
Sunny Deli on next Sunday af-
ternoon.
You are invited to worship
with US in all Of our services.
S.. HUNT.

Allen to Lansing

On Saturday, October, 18th,
the Supreme Court affirmed the
decision of the lower Court in
the Allen case, and as soon as
county attorney Sullivan was ad
visGd of this fact by wire, he
caused com mittment to be is
sued and Allen was taken into
custody. His attorneys made
strenuous efforts to secure his
release, arguing that the COM
mittment was prematurely is
sued, but without avail. The of.
fetal Mandate was received from
the Supreme Court to day, and
Sheriff Krisle will leave with
Allen for the penitentiary at
Lansing, this evening, (Thurs-
day.
Thus closes the chapter, and
those who predicted that Allen
would never be convicted. or, be-
ing convicted, would never go to
the pen, are entitled to another
guess.

has been removed. 1t is not near
a good town. The people Of Kan
sas are sending out of the state
20 million dollars a year to buv
at retail goods which could be
bought at a fair price in the
state. Loss of business will kill
a town. When a town dies, it
loses in population. Two hundred
and ninety-foEr Kansas towns
and villages lost in population
during a IL month period ending
1915. When a town loses businss
and population the farms around
that town are pretty likely to
shrink a little in value. The de-
mand for these farms is not so
great. Men like to buy land near
a good town-not near a dead
one. Real estate in the larger
cities of Kansas is increasing in
value because these cities are in
creasing in population-and they
are increasing in population be-
cause they are doing more busi-
ness. Many Kansas country
towns are losing in population
because they are doing less busi-
ness. Business they should be
doing is going to large cities out
side our own state. And the
Kansas community builder
should not forget that location
has something to do with land
values.

Cities Gain. Country Loses

The figures of the Kansas
State Tax Commission for 1915
show that while during the pre-
vious 12-month period real es-
tate values in the cities of Kan
sas increased nearly six million
dollars, farm land values in the
state of Kansas during the same
period decreased a little more
than six hundred and thirty
thousand dollars. City values in
creasing-farm values decreas-
ing. A survey made recently by
the Missouri State University,
covering $50 farms, showed
farm land in two miles of a good
town, worth $78 an acre; in four
miles, $40; in six miles, $50; in
eight miles, $58; and farms a
greater distance from a good
town ran down to $55 an acre.
These figures show that location
has something to do with farm
land values. A farm near a good
town has greater value; farther
away, less value. A farm near
a dead town may possess no
greater value than a farm a long
way from a good town. Move a
farm away from a good town, its
value shrinks. Kill the town, the
same thing happens to the farm
Its value shrinks. The farm

Capper Didn't Veto These

Arthur Capper hasn't been a
success as governor of Kansas.
He just hasn't made good his
promises, and has begun to real
ize it. Realizing he hasn't kept
faith with the men and women
of the state, he is looking for an
alibi and is trying to blame his
failures on a Democrat or two
who happen to be in office.
However in the approving of
salaries Capper forgot about his
veto, and preferred to let the or
phans at Atchison go without
proper facilities and to make the
insane sleep on the floor or put
them into over-crowded dormi-
tories rather than let a few Re-
publican office holders go with
out a raise in salary. Here are
some of the raises in salary that
Capper, could have vetoed but he
didn't. He approved them all:
The State Superintendent's sal
ary was raised from $2,500 to
$4,000. The assistant from ST.
600 to $2,400.

ture, the secretary's salary was

PRICE MOVEMENTS
 UNUSUALLY RAPID
Cotton Market Depressed by RumOrs of Prohibited
 Importation to France

New Orleans, March 15.-Price move ments in the local market today were unusually rapid, the many features of the days news causing quick declines and advances. The market was narrow in the morning. but it broadened in the aft ernoon, first being advanced by the un- expected rise of 6 points In spot quota tions and then being depressed by the re- port that the French had prohibited i'm. portations of cotton after the end of March.
 Around the opening call prices were to points up on the drouth in Texas and the bullish items in the monthly mill sta tistics from the census bureau. Rains in the eastern belt were considered favor able, however, and the census report con- tained some figures which were consid- cred unfavorable. Prices soon fell to a level to points under yesterdays close After many minor changes the market stood at it's highest in the early after noon, a net rise of to points. Fol. lowing this came the report concerning the embargo by France.
