McAfec Buys Big Supply of Flour at
Santa Fe Auction.

Shawnee county is officially taking
advantage of bargain prices and food
stuff sales to cut down the high cost
of living.
This morning four and one-half
tons of flour, purchased recently at
the Santa Fe railways unclaimed
freight sale by H. w. McAfee, county
commissioner, were being delivered to
the county. McAfee purchased the
flour for $3.50 a hundred pounds
$3.50 cents under today's retail price
of $40 a hundred. The total saving
was $198.
The flour was made in Topeka and
of a well known brand. 1t was in a
wreck and both consignee and con-
signer refused to accept it, altho it
was not damaged.
Three tons, of the flour was sent to
the county farm. The remainder was
divided among various other county
institutions including the county Jail
and the poor commissioners office.
While at the sale. McAfee also pur-
chased three barrels of soft soap at
less than market price. He also OBJ

LOSE LIQUOR CASE
Officials Unable to Con-
Wet Johanna Adams.
No Evidence She Imported Wet
Goods in Freight Car.

Shawnee county this morning lost in
the first felony case to come to trial
under the bone dry law here when
Otis Hungate, sitting as judge pro tenn
Of the court of Topeka, dismissed a
charge of importing liquor brought
Jy the county attorney against
Johanna Adams, notorious violator of
Kansas prohibitory laws in Topeka of
pther days, and wife of the famous
Bee" Adams.
Several months ago Johanna and
Bee" left Topeka for Kansas City,
being permitted to do so after prom
sing the county attorney and police
that they would never come back no
more" About a month ago the two
returned. bringing with them a car
of household goods. The sheriff and
police became Interested Immediately
in the furniture and just before 1t was
unloaded Hugh Larimer, sheriff. and
Officer Cook of the police department
made a minute inspection of the car
and contents.
Wet Goods in Car.
Six quarts of whisky and a half bot
tie of champagne were discovered in
different places among chairs, tables
and carpets. The contraband was
confiScated. Local units of the law,
who. in times past, have had consid-
cradle trouble with the two. frightened
their belts and planned a decisive blow
against Johanna especially. The coun-
ty attorney issued d complaint charg-
ing her with being a persistent vlo-
Iator'' and importing liquor.
This morning when the case came
to trial Hungate was on the bench in
the place of Judge Rad Rec who, it
was declared by attorneys, knew too
much about the case to again hear
evidence according to law.
She Denied Guilt.
johanna took the witness stand.
Her testimony in her own defense con-
sisted mostly of one straight denial.
She didn't deny ownership of the
goods, but did deny any knowledge
of their being in the car. She declar-
ed the liquor had been placed there
presumably by the mao who packed
the furniture as IAN act of friendship
for her without her knowing anything
about it.
She didn't remember the mans
name. w. l. Jamison, her attorney,
moved the court to dismiss the case.
THE state has no evidence, in the
face of the defendants story, to the
effect that she imported the liquor,
or had any knowledge of its being in
the car said Hungate. 1.-The case is
dismissed"

STARVATION IN GREECE
Allies Blockade Brings Dire Distress
May Be Raised Soon.

Washington, May s-An official
dispatch from the Greek government
communicated to the state department
by the Greek legation, says the block
ade of the allied Greek coast has re-
suited in many deaths from starvation.
In January there were 25 deaths; in
February, %; in March, 40; and in
the first third of April, 10. These
figures do not include deaths within
the area occupied by the French and
English armies, and they cover only
such cases as were certified to by a
physician as having been due to star
walton. The legation assumes that
many cases must have occurred with
out being reported
The greatest distress appears to eX-
list in Epirus where forty deaths &C.
Cured In Thessaly there were sew
en- while in other provinces and is
lands the cases range only between
one and four. AS the organization
of the new Zaimis cabinet was under
taken in harmony with the wishes of
the Allies, the legation assumes the
blockade now will be raised.

USE BRITISH RIFLES
U. S. Can't Equip Army With Spring
field Models Fast Enough.

Washington, May S.-The govern
ment cannot provide enough rifles of
the American army issue to equip the
contemplated army.
The only alternative is use of the
Tritish army standard.
Fumes were appropriated to make
large quantities of American rifles,
hut slice the war began only $4,000
have teen made.
There are only 100000 service rifles
on hand.
These facts were disclosed to the
establishment of the house by Repre-
sentative Tilson of Connecticut. mem
Der of the committee on military af-
fairs. Asked if his disclosures would
not be of benefit to the enemy, he
said:
ooh, they all know it"
Regulations require that there
should be two rifles to a man. The
$4,000 Springfield rifles on hand,
therefore, would not go far in equip
ping an American army for France.
Mr. Tilson said the factories here
could not turn out enough Springfield
rifles to fill the demand in reason
able time. He said, however, that they
could produce the British standard,
the Lee Enfield arm. This, he said,
would have the advantage that the
British and American troops would use
the same type of ammunition. Ameri-
can factories are better equipped to
make the British rifle because they
have been making them in large num-
bers for the British army.
Mr.. Tilson said also that there was
tragedy in the cost of the rifles.
The government now must pay $25
for a rifle as against S14 or SIS when
the war began. In addition to the
Springfields. there are about $4,000

Seeding in the Red river valley is q

be about ten per cent less than first
planned. Minnesota acreage increas-

the central Missouri valley only 10
planting is in.
Iowa-Considerable increase in
acreage reported-from 10 to 5 per
cert in grains and from Is to 90 per
cent in potatoes, beans, sweet corn
and other canning vegetables. Farm
labor shortage felt but not acute.
60 Per Cent Wheat in Nebraska.
Nebraska-About 60 per cent of the
winter wheat and so per cent of the
winter alfalfa has been ruined by cold
wet weather. Many farmers blowing
wet wheat and alfalfa under and put
ting in potatoes. Indications point
toward a fine spring crop, especially
oats. Wet weather had delayed corn
blowing but if the weather continues
warm, soil will be in best condition in
years.
TeXas-Wheat is 10 per cent nor
NAL and oats 60 per cent. Corn not
all planted but outlook good. Cotton
shows an increased acreage with
prospects for four million bales.
Missouri and Kansas-Crop outlook
much more favorable since recent
rains. Corn crop especially good and
much of winter wheat will do better
than expected.
Colorado-Crop prospects favorable,
especially since recent snow fall.
Must Replant Oats.
Illinois-All mrops, with possible
exception of wheat, are in fine shape.
Wheat apparently was practically all
dead, but recent two weeks wet weather
helped and fields are again green. Two
weeks of mild weather will make it
safe.
MISUNDERSTANDING Is we'll under
