"Some PUN pkins."

Christian Science Monitor: The
state of Kansas has done many
things. and might do many more, to
show how highly it esteems its pres
ent governor, Arthur Capper, but
probably it has done nothing. and
probably it can do nothing, along this
line that will be more pleasing to its
distinguished executive than its re
cent act in naming new pumpkin
for him. The term "some pumpkins,
brought by the earlier settlers Of the
Sunflower state from the east, is still
applied to things in Kansas that can
not be adequately described by the
use of ordinary superlatives, and no
body knows better than does Cover
nor Capper that to be associated for
all time with pumpkin of Kansas
origin is to be some pumpkins" in.

Brakeman on Freight Train Finds
Himself Looking Into Muzzle

CREW EJECT BOYS LATER
The Bandit Was Only Ten Years Old,
However, and His Revolver
Was Only Cap

A brakeman on a south bound
freight train on the Burlington yes
terday afternoon discovered two In
dividuals beating their way on tank
car. Climbing over the cars ne
reached the tank car and proceeded
to invite the two who were violating
the regulations regarding passes, to
get off or to cough up their fare.
The biggest of the two fare beat

revolver He turned around and
fastened back to the way car where
he gave the alarm.
Near Bluff Park the train stopped
because of some trouble to one OF
the cars. The entire crew rushed the
tank car and captured the bandits
and ordered them off the train and
to take to the ties. The train pro,
ceeded after repairing damages,
minus this unruly freight.
Now, read on. The bandits were
two boys, ten and eight years old
who live in Keokuk and who have a
faculty for beating their way on the
railroad They are known to the
train crews who get rid Of them on
every possible occasion, without

bandits wears a big leather belt, with
q bigger holster. In this holster re-
poses the cap-pistol into which the
brakeman found himself looking when
he attempted to invite the lads to
leave the tank car.
The brakeman was convulsed with
laughter and managed to make tracks
to the way car where he related his
experiences. The train crew rallied
to his support and fired the two boys
off the train as soon as the train
stopped.

Manex for EXPENSES.

"The state of Iowa appropr1ates
annually s165,OO0 for the national
guard. To this is added the $4,000
received under the Dick law. The
money is used in part to pay the
otncers and men while in camp and
in the rife competition. We also
draw clothing and equipment from
the government under the terms of
the law.
II do not know of any condition
anywhere in the country which would
warrant Senator Borah or anyone
else making charges that the funds
are wasted. The national guard has
no fear of an investigation"
Other Iowa militia officers were
emphatic yesterday in defending the
national guard administration in
Iowa and other states.

Bill.

Adj Gen. Guy e. Logan yesterday
declared that as far as Iowa is con-
cerned, the charges that the federal
aid to the National guard, is mis-
used, is entirely without foundation.
Senator Borah of Idaho, in his fight
in the senate Saturday on the mill
tary bill, made sweeping charges
that there was waste in the handling
of such funds.
The statements of Logan were
backed by Governor Clarke who de-
clared that all military funds in Iowa
are closely guarded and no extrava-
gances are permitted.
