Big Farm Building Near Corning With
All Its Contents Destroyed.
Special to Times Republican.
Cornig, May 1.-THE farm barn Of
r. A. Chapman, one mile east of
Prescott, was struck by lightning
about s o'clock Sunday night and
burned. In the barn were farm tools,
about twenty tons Of hay, and three
good horses, all of which were burned.
The loss is heavy as the barn was
worth more than a thousand dollars
and had less than $500 insurance on
barn and contents with nothing on the
horses. This is the third time this
barn has been struck by lightning in
twenty years. but little damage was
done previously. Mr. Chapman does
not believe in the efficiency of light
ming rods and does not use them.

The Little Matter.

A certain captain of industry, COM
plimented on an immense war contract,
said in New York:
"One beauty about these contracts is
their strict honesty. There are no
palms to grease
1T wasn't always so in war con-
tracts. In fact, they tell a story about
war contractor who once broke the
silence of his club reading room with
a dreadful sigh.
"'What's the matter?' brother con-
tractor asked.
Alas, alasi' said the first con-
tractor. I've just bought five million
pairs of shoes at a dollar a pair and
sold them TO the army for six dollars,
and I'm afraid the loss will ruin me-
Loss? Loss? said the other con-
tractor. What are you talking about,
man? On five million pairs of shoes,
with a five-dollar profit, how can there
be loss?'
My dear fellow said the first con-
tractor, sadly, you forget the little
matter of commissions ''-Washipgton

MANY KANSAS FARM FIRES
An Epidemic Of Mysterious BIaxes
Reported Frem Central and West
ern Part of State.

Following an epidemic of mysteri-
Gus fires which have destroyed thou
sands of dollars worth of property in
Central and Western Kansas recent
ly, sheriffs and railway detectives are
keeping a close lookout for fire bugs,
believed responsible for the blazes.
Deputy state fire marshals have been
working on the cases for several
weeks but have made no appreciable
progress.
The first incendiary fires were re-
ported at Wakeeney, ITO miles west
of Salina, several weeks ago when
several wheat stacks were burned by
the use of phosphorus bombs. De-
spite the fact that farmers are watch
ing their stacks all the time, fires
have been almost a daily occurrence
in this district. Members of the 1.
W. w. are declared to be responsible,
but officers are not so certain that
they have set fire to dozens of barns
which have been burned.
The most disastrous fire yet report
ed was the burning of an elevator at
Ellis, entailing loss of more than
$4,000. The building had been care
fully inspected and officers believe
that it was set on fire Farmers near
Great Bend lost three barns, which
with contents were worth more than
$4,000. The Mel thinner barn con-
tanned $500 bushels of wheat, 1900
bushels of corn, big loft full of al
falfa hay, an automobile and several
sets of harness.
Charles O'Shay, a prosperous farm
er near Olmitz, discovered his barn
on fire. He believes the blaze was
incendiary. One barn was lost in
Pawnee county.
Fire of unknown origin destroyed
the barn of Clarence Delhi, near
Chapman. The loss was $500. Diehl

SMALL CHILD is NEGLECTED
Vast Majority of School Boards in

Topeka--Educationa leaders of
Kansas will endeavor to develop kim
dergarten work in the public schools.
Inc state is very lame in that depart
ment of education. In New Jersey
21S out of every 1000 children take
kindergarten; in Kansas only nine
teen out of every 1000 take it.
The reason stated in the large ma
1or1ty of the replies received were:
Lack of funds" and Lack of room"
Many superintendent added, how
ever, that they hoped ito give the mat
ter more serious consideration within
the next few years. This has been
done by few Of these school men.
and as a result kindergartens are es-
tabllshed as a part of their school sys-
TENS; but the vast majority of the
superintendent and school boards of
our Kansas towns and cities have not
yet given to the needs and training
OF the child of and 5, and to The
kindergarten as an agency for meet
ing these needs the careful and thor
ough consideration which they merit,
and which has been accorded to them
IN other progressive states, as for
example in Wisconsin, Michigan, New

Kansas After U. S. Fund.

Kansas After U. S. Fund
If any counties of the state wish to
get a share of the government fund
for the construction of roads this
year they must get busy. The tax
levies for roads and other purposes
are made in Kansas in August The
government agrees to pay half the ex-
pense of building the roads. A county
must pay the other half. Governor
Capper has received word from Wash
ington that the allotment for Kan
sas this year would be $4,000. The
amount increases each succeeding
year until it reaches about $3.50, 900
the fifth. year and then continues at
that amount annually. State Engineer
w. S. Gearhart says that several coun-
ties have already advised him that
they want to participate in the fund
and have asked for instructions as to
how to proceed. He believes enough
counties will levy a road construction
tax to take up the government allot-
ment- He will go to Washington next
month for conference with the Off
Gals of the road department.
