A great deal of fuss is being
made over in Washington just
now about a certain leak" into

seems to be who is responsible
for it? This would not have been
so much of a mystery, had the
old system of having a wall
street personal representative
with desk room in the White
House prevailed during the Viii

have done from time immemorial.

Amount Has Been Placed in LO-

BUSINESS PROPOSITION, RIPLEY
Farmers Need No Aid but OPP
pOrtunity To Help Themselves.
New Counties, Pawnee, Ed
wards and Others, Included.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railway company has. included the
newly settled parts of Pawnee, Ed
wards, Rush, Ness, Lane and Hodge
man counties in its seed wheat plan
lately announced for the counties in
southwestern Kansas, according to a
telegram received today from Pres1-
dent E. P. Ripley at the office or l.;
L. Copeland, secretary nd treasurer
Farmers along the Santa Fe, in the
counties named, having declared that
they would increase their wheat acre
age if they could get financial en-
couragement, President Ripley, on be-
half of his company, offers to put up
the money for seed wheat purchases,
the transaction to be handled thru To-
cal bankers. The arrangement for de-
posting in the banks funds necessary
to buy the seed needed will be made
by Mr.. Copeland.
As in the case of the southwest
Kansas farmers, Mr.. Ripley says that
those who will benefit by the seed
wheat plan are not asking for aid.
What they want" he declares, ''is an
opportunity to help themselves, and
our company will see that they get it,
purely as a business proposition"
The local bankers will let the farm
ers have the money deposited by the
Santa Fe at not to exceed per cent
interest, without commissions.
H M. Banner, agricultural and in
dustrial agent of the Santa Fe, will
work with the farmers in selecting
seed, preparing the ground for seed
ing, etc, to the end that the best re-
suits may be obtained.
The Santa Fe to date has distributed
S357,500 among the banks for seed
wheat purchases in new territory in
western Kansas, northwest Oklahoma
and northwest Texas.

DRAFTED MAN LOSES FINGER.
Had Passed Examination-Questio
Now Will He Escape Service.

OIpe, Kan, Aug 22.-James H. Ell
rod shot off the index finger of his
right hand after he had been drafted
into the United States army and the
question arises whether or not the
shooting was a trifle too late to ex-
empt him from military service. Ell
rod had been passed by the exam
liners and his plea for exemption had
been rejected by the board.
Needless to say there are two YER
sions of the shooting. James is that
it was an accident While out hunting
rabbits he laid the gun down to pick
some sassafras. When he picked the
gun up by the muzzle, it went off.
Concerning the accident the Olpe OPP
timist concludes;
1T is only fair to say that many
people do not think the shooting was
an accident. James had been exam
ined and drafted to serve in the ma
tional army. He had asked for exemp-
ton, which was refused by the coun-
ty board. However, it could have been
an accident-an accident at a most
unfortunate time, most inoportune.
