Law Would Close
the Sunday Movies

There has been introduced in
the Colorado legislature certain
bills which provide for Sunday
closing and a strict censorship of
motion pictures, and the picture
show people are organizing to fight
the proposed law.
In most Of the smaller cities
and towns of the state picture
shows are closed on Sunday by
city ordina noes, each community
having the right to do as the
majority of their own people prefer.
In the larger cities of the state
and in the mining towns, notably
Idaho Springs, the movies are
operated on Sundays as well as
week days and it cannot be dis
puted that Sunday is the big day
of the week If the proposition
were put to vote in Idaho Springs
the decision would undoubtedl V
be favorable to the picture show
people. Such matters, however,
are not put up to the people but
are left entirely with the elected
lawmakers, and if there is sutficiedt
influence back of the proposed law
it may be passed.

BRITISH TO HAVE THEM
Trunk Is Taken at Halifax and Will Be Turned Over to
 Authorities.

LONDON, March 2O.-The story of a mysterious trunk which was on board the Frederick VIII, the steamer which brought Count yon Bernstorfr from the United States to Copenhagen, is given prominence by The Express. The trunk is said to have been consigned to Stock holm by the Swedish minister to the United States and to have borne the seal of the Swedish con- sulate in New York.
 The story says that the trunk was held at Halifax because its seals were broken and that it will be sent to England by a British war ship. After it reaches the British capital it will be turned over to the Swedish legation, where its contents will be examined in the presence of British officials. The Express suggests that the trunk was opened between New York and Halifax to permit the insertion of secret documents belonging to Count von Bernstorff.

The future of the horse in the army
is assured. The European war and
the duties of the United States army
on the Mexican border have proved
that the horse cannot be displaced

as motor transportation requires solid
roads on which to operate successfully

army for certain types of horsec is

writes Mr.. Stanclift. These types of
horses are suitable for work on the
farm at medium draft work, and The
finer specimens of saddle and heavy
carriage horses have never been raised
in sufficient numbers to supply the
market, regardless of the price de-
manded.

Riley to receive 200 additional mem
bers of the reserve medical officers
corps, ordered to the medical training
camp from the middle west and west
for intensive training preparatory to
actual service.
A number of the men will come
from the Pacific coast. Since the
medical officers training camp was
opened two months ago, officers have
been going and coming each week,
many of them being sent to other
stations for duty after short periods
of training. Unlike the men of the
reserve officers training camp, the
doctors are commissioned before they
arrive for training and receive the
salary of their rank while at camp.
They pay for their own meals, uni

SOLDIERS FOR COPS
Military Police Help to Keep Order at
FIT. Riley Now.

Junction City, Kan. Aug. 16.@Sol-
binary soldiers by blue arm bands, are
becoming numerous at the Fort Riley
reservation and in all surrounding
country, their activities extending even
to this city and Manhattan. The mil
itary police are stationed on the street
cars that run to the fort and they see
to it that both officers and men obey
all laws.
The men are carefully picked for
this work. Those detailed to non-mil-
itary duty outside the fort reservation
are commissioned deputy sheriffs and
are armed with regular army revolv-
erS
Both here and at Fort Riley the
soldier police have done much good
work. In town they have aided the
local authorities in numerous in
stances and at the post their work
has ranged from warning motorists
against speeding to confiscating liquor
that was being struggled onto the
reservation. In numerous instances
the police have searched the suitcases
of suspected persons and have discov-
cred quantities of whisky. Violators
, of the prohibitory law are dealt with
ruthlessly both here and at the post.
As an instance, a justice of the peace
in Junction City sentenced a negro
bootlegger to eighteen months in the
county Jail and imposed a fine of
$1,000. This is the stiffest sentence

TRACTORS in DEMAND
More Than 5000 in Use in Kansas
Now, Expert Says.

Manhattan, Kan, Aug. 16.-The de-
mand for tractors for use on Kansas
farms is heavy this season. The num-
Der in the state is more than 5000,
many having been purchased since
figures were published March /, &C
cording to w. H. Sanders, instructor
in farm motors in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
From all information obtainable
the most popular size is approximate
ly 12-5 horse power at the draw bar"
said Mr.. Sanders. Most of the de-
mand is for tractors suitable for farms
of 200 acres with a few inquiries for
tractors suited for 100 acre farms
This indicates that either the num-
Der of horses is insufficient to supply
power for cultivation or that there is
an awakening among the farmers
tending toward experiments along
new lines anticipating better and
cheaper power.
1.-THE use of mechanical power for
all farming purposes in western Kan
sas will increase in the future. Large
tracts of land in that section of the
state have not yet been put under Gull
tivation. With the proper utiliza ton
of tractor power this land could be
made to contribute its bit
