MASONIC HOME DESTROYED
All But Five of Inmates Of Institution
at Wichita Rescued With
Great Difficulty.

Fire early the other morning de
stroyed the 100000 Kansas Masonic
| home at Wichita The firemen, help
less to combat the flames because of
frozen water plugs, fought desperate
| ly to rescue the go aged persons and
young orphaned inmates.
In addition to the five known dead
| two dozen inmates of the home were
injured. Three of these, Mrs. Ettele
Stewart, SIS, children's matron
Charles L. Smucker, z, and John
Morse, 8, are in critical condition as
! the result of being overcome by
smoke. Charles Smucker is the son
of the late Lou Smucker, formerly
| managing editor of the Wichita Eagle.
The fire originated at the furnace
and leaped upward through the first
| floor before it was discovered and
the alarm sounded.
When the alarm was sounded, at
tempts were made to awaken all the
inmates Nurses scurried through
the corridors of the key-shaped build
ing and narrowly escaped with their
lives.
Every piece of the fire fighting ap-
paratus in the city responded to the
call, but all the plugs were frozen In
the bliZzardy weather the firemen at
tempted to thaw the plugs but found
them frozen too far beneath the sur
face of the streets.
Then they turned their attention tc
the burning Building. Children rushed
through the columns of smoke and
tapping flames, screaming with fright
Aged inmates hobbled to safety, scan
tily clad. Here and there an old man
would appear through the smoke
clutching the hand of a child
But only a pitiful few had escaped
when the flames were licking all sides
of the beautiful home. And above the
roar and cracking of flames the cries
of the inmates could be heard
Spurred by the ever lessening cries
for help, firemen mounted ladders
against white hot stone walls in
mad attempt to rescue the trapped.
Down the ladders from DEATH one by
one, they brought a score of aged
persons and little children.
Joseph Deck, aged 20, a paralytic,
was heard to scream by inmates who
rushed out to safety. For a time it
was believed he had been burned to
death, but later he was found in
home some distance away, where he
had been carried by rescuers.
The Masonic home was built in
1896. 1t was the finest in the West
And added to the 100000 loss is
thousands in furnishings.

SCoTLAND'S BIG SHIP CANAL
Project for Passage From Forth To
the Clyde Again Aai-
tated.

Enthusiasm for the making of a mio-
Scotland ship canal has been burning
for over a hundred years in Glasgow.
The sudden flame which has inst
burned out is no doubt connected, like
the Channel tunnel, with problems sug-
gested by the war, observes the London
Chronicle. An easy passage from the
Forth to the Clyde was recognized by
Defoe ia the reign of Queen Anne
as sound, strategic and commercial
proposition. In the middle of the
eighteenth century the Glasgow corpor-
alton added fl 900 to the fund for con-
structing the present very useful barge
canal through the Kelvin valley be-
tween the Forth and the Clyde.
What ship canal between the North
sea and the Atlantic would mean for
the British navy as well as for Glas-
gov may be gathered from a compari-
son of the time saved by avoiding the
stormy waters of the Pentland Firth.
ship leaving Glasgow for Hull would
save 626 miles; for Dundee 434, for
London 271, and for Hamburg Cf ever
the time should come again) 4S7. Liv-
erpool, of course, would share these
economies with Glasgow. Biologists,
as if to encourage the pioneers, remind
US that the sea once flowed across
Scotland through the valleys where the
proposed canal would run

Land BANK CITIES
st. Louis, Omaha and Wichita
Named by Federal board
for Middle West.
THE DISTRICT. BOUNDARIES
The Federal Institutions Will Be Es-
tabIished as Soon as Practicable
to Issue Small Bonds.


Washington, Dec. 2S.-St. Louis,
Wichita and Omaha are to be the land
bank cities for the Middle West The
federal farm loan board today an
nounced the boundaries of the twelve
districts and the bank cities. They
are:
District No. Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Vermont, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, New York and
New Jersey; bank at Springfield,
Mass.
District No. 2-Pennsylvania, Della
ware, Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia and the District of Columbia; !;
bank at Baltimore
District No. 3 North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida;
bank at Columbia, s. C.
District No. 4-Ohio, Indiana, Ken
tucky and Tennessee; bank at Louis
vile, KY.
District No. 5-Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana; bank at New Orleans.
Missouri in Sixth District.
District No. 6-Illinois, Missouri,
Arkansas; bank at st. Louis
District No. michigan, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota and North Dakota;
District No. S-Iowa, Nebraska,
South Dakota and Wyoming; bank at
Omaha
District No. 9-Oklahoma, Kansas,
Colorado and New Mexico; bank at
Wichita, Kas.
District No. 10-Texas; bank at
Houston.
District No. 11-California, Neva-
da, Utah and Arizona; bank at Berke-
ley, Cal.
District No. 12-Washington, Ore
gon, Montana and Idaho; bank at Spo-
kane, Wash.
The banks will be established as
soon as practicable. Under the law
each will have a capital of q million
dollars. Applications for loans have
been pouring into the board in great
volumes recently and it is estimated
that a sum more than twenty times
in excess of the combined capital
stock could be used in making loans
To Issue Small Bonds.
Almost the first work of the banks
after approving and issuing loans will
be the issuance of farm loan bonds, a
new form of security in this country.
The bonds will be issued in denomina-
tions as small as $25, it is expected,
and will bear interest at a rate of 1
per cent less than the interest rate
charged farmers on their loans.
What this interest rate will be has
not definitely been determined. 1t is
limited by law to a maximum of 6
per cent The expectation is that it
will not exceed 51a per cent at first
and subsequently may be lowered.
Loans on farm land are limited by
law to so per cent value of the land
and may be payable in from five to
forty years AS fast as loans are made
bonds will be issued to cover them so
that at no time under the present plan
will a banks entire capital be tied up
in loans to the dertiment of other ap-
plicants.

PRISONERS OF PARLIAMENT
Offenders May Be Shut Up in Clock
Tower, but Buy Own
Meals.

Few people are aware that the
houses of parliament have their own
prison. Yet situated high up in the
clock tower is the NJ. P.'s prison, coD,
sisting of four bedrooms and two sit.
ting rooms, London Tit-Bits says.
The honorable member who has been
diShonored by Imprisonment for q
breach of parliamentary etiquette does
not have a very hard life in st. Steph-
ems prison. The prisoners meals are
sent up to him from the house of COM
mons kitchens and he can choose
whatever dishes he likes from the or
binary menu. Unlike an ordinary pris-
oner, he receives the bill for his meals
from the catering authorities!
Perhaps the best remembered occu-
pant of parliament's prison was Mr..
Bradlaugh, who was sentenced by the
speaker to Imprisonment In the clock
tower for refusing to withdraw when
requested so to do.
Offenders against parliament other
than members have before now been
sentenced to Imprisonment in the clock
tower. These outsiders have includ-
ed several public speakers and the edi-
tor of prominent newspaper.

WOULD INJURE BIG SCHOOL
Recommendations of State Efficiency
Board Draw Fire of the AgricuI-
turaI College President.

That the elimination OF the School
of Agriculture would take from the
Kansas State Agricultural college one
of its best means of securing imme-
date results was the statement made
by President H. J. Waters in discuss
ing the recommendation of the state
economy and efficiency commission,
whose report recently handed to Gov
ernor Arthur Capper included a
recommendation that the School of
Agriculture and the department of
journalism of the college be abolished.
"Our most successful work is done
in the short courses for the men and
women of the state, who are already
engaged in agricultural pursuits"
said President Waters.
Next in importance to the short
courses comes the work done in the
School of Agriculture" he continued.
This is attended by men and women
above high school age, men and wo-
men who have no standard high
school course available and who come
to the School of Agriculture for two
or three years and go Immediately back
to their farms, taking with them the
practical knowledge pertaining to the
fran, home and shop.
The elimination of the school of in
dustrial journalism would hamper the
Kansas State Agricultural college in
more than one way. Possibly the
greatest harm would come from the
fact that it would cut off the almost
daily bulletins that are sent out to
the farmer by the publicity bureau
containing the results of the latest in
vestigations into all departments of
farm life. This bureau is operated
by the department of industrial jour
nalism.
