UNABLE TO FIND LYNCHERs
Committee of oIathe Citizens Visited
Many Farm Homes Without
Securing Amy cIeWs.

At the request of Sheriff E. G. Car
roll, four OIathe citizens were ap-
pointed by County Attorney c. L. Ran
dali as a committee to seek for men,
bers of the mob which hanged Bert
Dudley from a telephone pole there
the other morning. R. c. Ray, former
county attorney; Judge J. r. Brown,
justice Of the peace; L. R. Sykes, city
water commissioner, and L. B. Chal-
len, a real estate man, compose the
committee. They left at 1 o'clock and
visited twenty-five houses between
OIathe and StilwelI and each store in
Stilwell
Their quest was fruitless. Only at
one home, that of County Treasurer
M. T. Meredith, four miles southeast
of Olathe, was there an intimation
that the mob had even been seen.
Members of the family were awaken
ed, they said, and saw the cars pass
by about $3.50 in the morning. The
committee took along a piece of the
rope Dudley was hanged with. 1t was
compared with rope at three stores
and no resemblance whatever was
found.
Stilwell citizens told the committee
they would assist in any manner to-
ward trying to locate the guilty
parties.
County Attorney Randall called At
torney General Brewster by telephone
and asked that some one be sent
from his office to make an inyestiga-
ton of the lynching. Mr.. Brewster
replied that the authorities there
were doing all right and that if he
should come it might be taken as a
reflection on the county attorney and
Sheriff Carroll.

NEW YORK, n. Y.-Not long ago q
man came to me who was nearly half
a century old and asked me to give
him q preliminary examination for
life insurance. I was astonished to
find him with the blood pressure OF a
boy of 20 and as full Of vigor, vim and

young man he really was notwithstand-

taking iron-nuxated iron had filed
him with renewed life. At 80 he was
in bad health; at 46 careworn and
nearly all in. Now at 80 q miracle OF
vitality and his face beaming with the
buoyancy of youth. As have said a
hundred times over, iron is the great
est of all strength builders. If people
would only throw away patent medi-
cines and nauseous concoctions and
take simple nuxated iron, am con-
WINGED that the lives Of thousands of
persons might be saved, who now Gie
every year from pneumonia, grippe,
consumption, kidney, liver and heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their diseases was moth
ing more nor less than a weakened
condition brought on by lack OF iron in
the blood. Iron is absolutely neces-
sary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without it, no
matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out of it and as a con-
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking just like a plant trying
to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If
you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test /:
See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired.

NEED FARM LOANS
Federal Board is Well Pleased
With Results of It's Recent
Tour of Country.
INTEREST RATES VARY WIDELY
Hearings in Various Parts of Country
Disclose Wide nequaIities-Warn
Against Private Banks

Washington, Sept. 29.-The Federal
Farm Loan Board returned to Wash
ington today after q tour through
twenty-nine states to gather informa-
ton for its guidance in dividing the
country into twelve farm loan districts
and designating the sites Of the
twelve farm loan banks authorized IN
der the new Rural Credits Act.
In a statement issued tonight the
board expressed satisfaction over the
results of the hearings, and predicted
that the plan of putting farm loan
banks into operation before February
1 next could be carried out without
change.
Keen Interest Shown.
1.-THE keenest interest in the Federal
Farm Loan Act was manifested by
farmers and every class of people in
the communities visited" the state
ment said. "The law was approved
universally by farmers, business men
and bankers, who assured the board
of their cooperation.
"The need for the Federal Farm
Loan Law was especially emphasized
by the wide inequalities in interest
rates disclosed in the hearings, these
rates ranging from 5 per cent a year
to per cent month.
Warn Against Private Banks.
'rIn several states it was called to
the attention of the board that the
joint stock land banks were being
organized by questionable means by
stock statesmen or promoters who are
taking advantage of the farmers de-
sire for loans on the amortized plan
to sell stock to farmers. Farmers are
advised that there is no necessity for
subscribing to the stock of any pri-
Vate corporation for the purpose of
obtaining such a loan, and are eau
toned not to do so except upon an in
vestment basis. The board suggests
that farmers make no investment in
such land banks until they have first
inquired of the Federal Farm Loan
Board in Washington as to the char
acter and responsibility of such Orga-
nizatiOns. No joint stock land banks
can be organized except with the ap-
prevail of the Federal Farm Loan
Board"

The first book on sport ever printed
in the English language was a rimed
treatise called the "Boke of st. Al

Dame Juliana Berners. It's second
edition was printed by Wynkyn de
Worde in 1896. A descendant Of her
family, Lord Berners, was the trans
lator of Froissart's CHRONICLES" II
is true that old manuscripts existed
such as the "Venerie de Twecy' of the
time Of Edward IT.. but it was Dame
Juliana who was the real ancestress
of sporting literature in England, fol
she also composed an essay on hawk
ing and another on Fishing With an
Angle the last being of such excel
lence that Izaak walton himself did
take hint from it's pages.
