BANDITS ROB BANK
IN WHITE COUNTY

Monday morning about II
O'Clock two bandits walked
into the bank at Ell Paso, White
county, covered the cashier,
Mr.. Kent, with revolvers, and
after forcing him into the vault
proceeded to help themselves
to the funds of the bank.
One of the men is described
as low, heavy set, dark COM
pleXion, with dark mustache,
and about 40 years old. The
other was a tall, light complex
Toned, clean shaven man,
younger than his partner, and
neither was disguised.
After the men had secured
all the money in sight, about
81, 900, they took charge of a
buggy belonging to Sid Quat-
tlebaum and made their es-
cape.
The alarm was given, and a
posse was organized and went
in pursuit of the bandits, but
at last accounts the bandits
had not been captured.

New Solution i'm This Crop in
Western Kansas.
Edward Taylor Urges Planting
of Thousands of Acres.
TO TAKE PLACE OF LOST WHEAT
Plow Up Abandoned Fields Is
Suggestion Now.
Not Much Rainfall Needed to
Raise Good Crop.

Beans will be the solution of the
food problem in western Kansas II
farmers in that territory adopt sug-
gestion by Edward Taylor, widely
known Edwardsville farmer. In a
letter to ]. C. Mohler. secretary of the
state board of agriculture, Taylor has
urged the planting of thousands OF
acres of beans in western kansas
wheat counties. He declares the bean
will be a great factor in the war and
that Kansans can meet the food crisis
and reapsa fortune by planting large
fields of beans.
Taylors, letter to Secretary Mohler
urges that wheat growers in west
fields to beans. He urges large acre
ages of beans-navy beans or pinto
beans-in all of the large wheat coun-
ties. The growth of beans will place
the soil in excellent condition for next
years wheat crop, he says, and will
yield the farmer a big return on this
years investment and labor.
The Edwardsville man has expert
mented in the production of beans and
declares that the crop is especially
the rainfall is light. In many of the
big western counties thousands of
acres of wheat land have been aban-
doned- Large tracts of this land are
available for the production of beans,
Taylor declares, and the crop may be
planted as late as June l. This will
permit the farmer to prepare his soil
properly for the growing of the new
crop. Western soil conditions, he says
threaten none of the troubles which
have been encountered by bean grow
ers in Michigan, New York and other
states.
In western Kansas counties, beans
will produce twenty bushels to the
acre." Taylor said in his letter to Sec
rotary Mohler. These beans will sell
for Sc a bushel.
Based on figures by Taylor, the crop.
if properly cared for, would net the
the land owner $40 an acre. OF course
that sounds like the literature of town
lot real estate agents. But Taylor,
who is real farmer, is willing to
stand on his statement. Moreover,
he declares that the crop requires little
cultivation and is PECULIARLY adapted to
soil conditions
Special literature concerning the
growing of beans may be prepared by
Secretary Mohler and it is proba BILE
that in number of the western coun-
ties efforts will be made to meet the
food production crisis thru the grow
ing of large areas of both navy and
pinto. or Mexican. beans.

STREET SHADE TREES
Those That Shed Leaves in Fall Most
Satisfactory Forester Says

Manhattan, Kan. April 16.-Trees
that shed their leaves in the fall are
the most satisfactory for street plant
ing, in the opinion of c. A. Scott, state
forester and professor of forestry in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Evergreens, because they cast great
er amount. of shade during the winter
and keep the streets in an icy or
muddy condition longer are unsatis-
factory trees.
The selection of the Species the
planting. and the care of street trees
are matters that should come under
the jurisdiction of a municipal Off
GER. according to Professor Scott.
When the planting is left to the prop
erty owners each plants his own ia
vorite species, or any tree he can
get. The result of such unsupervised
planting is a mixture of all kinds and
sizes of trees, of various styles of
trimming, uneven spacing; trees out
of alignment, and sometimes no trees
at all for considerable distances.

IF KIDNEYS FEEL LIKE LEAD
OR YOUR BACK HURTS, TAKE SALTS

tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with hthia and has been used for gen.
erations to flush clogged kidneys and
stimulate them to activity, also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can

OLD SPIRIT SURVIVES
Ninety Per Cent OF Twentieth Kansas
Ready to Fight.

Lawrence, April 16.-"Ninety per
cent of the members of the Twentieth
Kansas will answer the call to the
colors issued by John NJ. Padgett,
president of the Twentieth Kansas"
said Col. Wilder S. Metcalf, colonel
of the First Kansas National Guard
and a member of the famous regi-
ment. I'm fact, many of them are in
service now. A thoro search of the
national guard of Kansas would re-
veal a surprisingly large number of
our men subject to the call already
Only those physically unfit for service
now will hesitate to answer the call
and these men will probably answer
anyway"
''It is nineteen years since we were
in active service as the Twentieth
Kansas, but l believe every member
has the same old fighting spirit and
they will rally wherever needed. With
the experience and training our men
had we could furnish some good Off
GERS for the younger troops"
1t is probable that only a few will
be called upon to do active work be-
cause the majority of the men have
families and are in business. How
ever, business and family will both be
sacrificed if needed, according to Col
onel Metcalf.

lister. But in this case our internal
conditions made it essential for us to
observe absolute neutrality. Being on
the continent of Europe instead of
across the Atlantic, it should be re-
membered that we are considerably
nearer the conflict than America. We
have among us, too, different shades
of opinion which are very strong and
need to be recognized and harm on

internal political affairs were so
strong that a strict adherence to neu-
trality was positively the only course
open to us. And so our responses to
the American communications have
been framed with the double purpose
of acting in accordance with the ne
cessities of our internal political af-
fairs, and at the same time preserv-

friendship which now bind America
and Spain so strongly together.

of some of these countries from the

of the others laid down by the United
