WILL IMPORT QUAIL FOR
KANSAS SPORTSMEN

The state OF Kansas is going into
the business of providing quail for
the hunters who have been paying
license fees regularly for years to
keep up the state fish hatchery at
Pratt. Quail are to be imported from
New Mexico this month by w. C.
Tegmeier, state fish and game war
den, who is going to try to breed
them at Pratt, and help populate the
state with quail for the hunters
when the five years closed season
ends in 1918.
Tegmeier has announced that he
intended to take the fish car to
Clayton, N. NJ He has arranged with
the New Mexican authorities for per-
mission to trap quail and will bring
back as many as he can catch. The
trip is to be made in the next month,
probably.
The fish and game warden is en-
thusiastic over the proposition.

HIGH SCHOOL MINSTREL SHOW
Annual Athletic Benefit To BE Given
at SeeIye This Month

The athletic association of the
Abilene high school has undertaken
something altogether new for It's
annual benefit which will be given
some time this month and probably
next week, although the date has
not been definitely decided upon. A
minstrel show, staged by the boys
glee club of twenty-five under the
direction of Miss Cora Ault, prom
ises to be the big hit of all the
school entertainments. They have
been practicing for some time upon
the latest in rags" instilling of
new life into the chestnuts and
acquiring all the newest and the
best jokes and an uproar is prom
ised from beginning to end from
those who see the performance.
The town has not had good
home talent minstrel for several
years and the glee club will be
breaking in upon new but old field
for such productions. The boys are
distinctly "nigger" colo
quialisms and brogue and it all
promises of a lot of fun.

IMPROVEMENTS AT sUNNYsIDE
This Rural Congregation Has One of
incest Country Churches

The Sunnyside church has been
reopened after Improvements cost
ing $3.50 had been made. The Rev.
J. w. Snapp of Salina, the district
presiding elder, preached the open
ing sermon in the nicely remodeled
and now one of the most up to date
rural churches in the county. The
improvements consisting of new
steel ceiling, replastered and redec-
grated walls, pews, chairs, acetylene
light plant and furnace cost 1865
and about 5000 was donated in la
Dor. All expenses were provided for
before the first services we're held.
The declining popularity of the
country church, with the coming Of
automobiles and good roads, has
been greatly lamente5 the past few
years but the Sunnyside community
and its church presents a vastly
different evidence. It is one Of the
few remaining live rural congre-
cations.

OIL LAND LEASES IN DICKINSON
National Companies Secure Fifteen
Farms Southwest of Herington

For several weeks representa-
tives of some of the largest oil com
panies in the country have been in
vestigating the territory adjoining
Herington and this week leases were
taken out on fifteen farms which
are situated about a mile and one
half west and run as far north as
Shady Brook The oil companies are
attempting to obtain leases upon a
number of other farms. Several
years ago geologists visited this Vi
cinity and reports were favorable.
They thought that both oil and gas
existed in this territory but that Il
would probably be discovered at a
depth of about $500 feet. They es-
pecially recommended the land ly-
ing south and west of Herington.
That number of wells will be
drilled here this spring and summer
is almost certain.
In Morris and Marion counties
sums running above 100000 have
already been paid for leases. One
company, the Charles Richardson Of
Tulsa, is guaranteeing to drill with
in six months or forfeit their leas-
es. They have three drill outfits

Futures on Kansas City and Chicago
Markets Down Five Cents

The expected has come. The
wheat futures in Kansas City and
Chicago took five cent drops. In
Kansas City the market closed Sat-
urday at $1.2S ", opened this morn
ing at $122%, and closed at $1.1S-
rs, a drop of A nc. Chicago futures
closed Saturday at $1.32%, opened
today at $1.32k, and closed today

The local grain men have no infor-

as the wires have been too busy all
day to get any such word through.

The snow is melting off the wheat
and farmers are wondering what
will be the condition when fields
are clear. They are recalling 1910
when instead of 100000 acres of
wheat harvested ih 1909 only 1900
acres were harvested and the coun-
ty had instead Of 100000 bush
els only $4,000 bushels.
Here are some expressions from
men who should know the condi-
tions:
Geo. Lenhert: l do not think the
wheat is hurt. The snow is porous
and not like the ice coat of 1910.
Anyhow 1 couldn't help it so I'll
wait and see.
]. G. Landes: I've seen worse
conditions than this when wheat
was not hurt at all
J. B. Case: 1t may prove serious
but we can't tell until the snow
goes off.
G. A. Rogers: The plant was in
good condition to stand the snow
as the ground was frozen and the
plant hardened to severe weather.
w. A. Chain, Security Mills-If
the freeze had followed a heavy
rain it would have been serious but
under the conditions do not think
the crop is hurt materially if at
all.

girl came through Emporia in a
great large touring car with a ne
gro chauffeur. They were on a
cross country tour. Still the mys-
terry deepened. The fellows we're up
in the air, so to speak. One Of them
CHANGED to be in San Francisco at
the exposition& closing and he also
attended a grand ball given that
evening by the motion picture actors
and actresses. And who should lead
the grand march? None other than
the pretty waiter of the Harvey
house in Emporia, with Dustin Far
mum as a partner. 1t was Annita
King. The young man referred to is
a brother of an Abilene man.

KANSAS SIDE DEPOTS TOO
SMALL FOR INCREASED TRAFFIC

Abilene people will soon be able
to ride any through passenger train
to Kansas City, Kan, or Argentine,
as it is called on the Santa Fe, if a
petition to be filed before the state
utilities commission by the city
commissioners of Kansas City, Kan,
is acted on favorably by that body.
The small depots on the Kansas
side are proving to be too small for
the business going through them,
now that the interstate fares are in
effect, and a kick is also to be made
for better accommodations and bet
ter street car service. At the present
time all Rock Island trains stop on
the Kansas side, but only a few
Santa Fe trains. The Union Pacific
is also included in the kick.
