Police Pick Her Up-Says Husband a
Barber in Salina.

Apparently demented, unable to tell
a connected story concerning herself
penniless, tho well dressed, and with a
big suit case under her arms, Lydia
Ford, aged IS, alighted from a Santa
Fe train in Topeka Friday night. The
conductor told the police at the sta
ton, who We're called, that the woman
had ticket for Topeka, purchased at
FaTragut, Iowa.
After a nights rest Mrs. Ford told
the police matron that she was on her
way to Salina where her husband was
working in a barber shop. Her hus-
bands name is John Ford, she told
the matron. Then she became con-
fused and further particulars regard
ing the strange woman could not be
learned. The police are endeavoring
to locate John Ford at Salina.

CAPACITY OF RANGES
 INCREASES 7l,000

Washington, March Alp proved grazing allowances for the National Forests during the coming season provide for the pasturing of 8,4OO,155 sheep, 2,12O,145 cattle and horses, 54,000 swine. These figures, compared with those of last year, represent an approximate increase of 111,OOO cattle and horses and a decrease of about 100000 sheep. Grazing ex- perts of the Forest Service figure that for purposes of range allotment one COW is equal to five sheep. Conse- quently the increase of Ill, ,O0O cattle and horses is held to be equivalent to a net increase of 355,OOO sheep, or of 71,OOO cat tie, over the total number of stock grazed last year.
 The decrease in the number of sheep is said to be caused by the action of the owners who are disposing of their fiocks in order to buy cattle. In most cases the reason is not because of greater profits in handling cattle, but because the rapidly changing conditions on the open ranges, where sheep have been handled in the past, make it increasingly difficult to find feed for this class of stock dur ing the months when deep snowprohibits grazing on the National Forests.

LIQUOR CHIEFS ID QUIT
(From Los Angeles Times)

(From Los Angeles Times)
 Because of the prohibition wave proprietors of two of the principal wholesale liquor houses of this city yesterday announced they are going to get out of that business and at once open an immense cannery, to be operated under the name of the California Sanitary Can ming Company. They are Col. Henry Laub, owner of the Old Plantation Distilling Company, No. 109 South Broadway, and Joseph and George Shapiro, owners of the Napa Wine Com pany, No. 116 West Sixth St.
 Col. Laub, who was chair man of the Campaign Com mittee, working in conjunction with California League last fall against the two proposed pro- hibition amendments, which were badly defeated, said he decided to get out of the liquor business months ago.
 'EI am frank in the state ment that I can see the hand writing on the wall," he said. "The liquor business in Calif- ornia is doomed. Just when it will be wiped out is, of course a debatable question, but it's end is not very far away.
 "I have been anxious to get into some other line of business for some time, and when the opportunity came for me to change I accepted it."
