Z STANDARDIZED SCHOOLS
Ffnney County Officials Want the
Best Educational Equipment.

Garden City, Kan, April IA
meeting of the patrons and school Of
flcials of Finney county was held at
the office of County superintendent
Wilson, for the purpose of discussing
school matters, and visiting the stand
ard schools in this near vicinity. AS a
result of the meeting. the officers of
seven of the nine new school houses
to be built this summer will be stand
ardized.
During the meeting County Physi-
clan DR.. w. J. Stilson gave a very in
teresting talk on school sanitation,
and County Treasurer S. E. Carlton a
talk on finance. The truancy ques-
ton was discussed and the inefficiency
OF the present truancy law was pointed
out by the fact that the compensation
was entirely inadequate for the service
rendered and the territory to be trav-
eled. 1t was also brought out in the
meeting that no county in the state
mas as many school libraries as has
Kinney, which fact is entirely due to
the generosity of Geo. w. Finnup, one
OF the county's pioneers and a phil

ORIENT, RECEIVER
Federal Court Turns Railroad
Over to w. L. Kemper.
Another Effort to Straighten
Out Roads Affairs.

w. T Kemper of Kansas City, for
mer president of the Commerce
Trust company, took charge of the
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient railway
as receiver at midnight Monday night.
He was named as receiver Monday by
Judge John C. Pollock of the federal
district court. upon application of
Dudley w. Eaton, representative of
the road.
This action is another effort to
straighten out the affairs of the
Orient railway and pay its debts. The
last receivership was closed in 1914
when the road was sold to a company
which planned a complete reorgani-
cation. The company issued 100000
of two-year gold notes and sold them
in England and the United States.
The notes sold in England failed to
produce actual money because of the
European war, the company says, and
the plan for rec t=anization failed.
The Orient owes $4,000. accord
ing to court findings, and it was I'M
able to pay. It is because of this
obligation and other pressing debts
that Eaton applied for a receiver.
Under the receivership a new plan
will be adopted. Receivers certifi-
Gates will be issued and they will
stand as first liens upon the railroad
property. The money necessary to
pay off the indebtedness will be
raised by the issuance of these GER
tificates.
The Orient railway consists of track
under operation from Wichita to AL
pine, Texas, and $50 miles of track
under operation in Mexico. Because
of internal strife in Mexico the Mex
lean end of the line proba bly, is in bad
shape.

Wallace, Henry Sanderson and Harry
Browner of New York, Charles F.
Aver of Boston, William ]. Gray of
Detroit, and Herbert F. Hall and Cliff
ford Histed of Kansas City. Following
that the present intention is to issu
SIS, 100000 worth of bonds to put the
road back on a business basis.

CURFEW RECEIVERS VOICE
..Zepp" Danger Past, unjust Not Ring
Tonight Ban Is Raised.

Chertsey. England, April 17.-Cur-
few may ring it's head off tonight, with
the passing of the ban on needless
nocturnal noises. And the Chertsey
curfew is the old original and only
genuine must not ring tonight con-
traption that inspired the poem.
When the Zeppelins were making
periodic tours to the tight little
Isle it was a question whether engine
bells, curfews and the like didn't serve
as a guide. The authorities couldn't
find out definitely so they refused to
take any chances. Every curfew in
England had its throat done up in a
muffler and there was nothing doing
on the happy chimes.
Chertsey was hard hit by the order,
inasmuch as the local curfew has been
a part of the towns life for seven or
eight aeons.
Well. now the Zepps have had their
wings clipped pretty short and the
rick is brought down to a minimum
so the curfews are telling their tale

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me a quarter of an ounce
of freezone" This will cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn should relieve the sore
ness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, dries up and can be
lifted out with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that, while freezone
is sticky, it dries in a moment, and
simply shrivels up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur
rounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die OF infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns,
but clip this out and make him try it.

DID NOT ASK BRISTOW
Bell Telephone Issued Millions in
Bonds without a Word.

Joseph L. Bristow and his public
utilities commission has been insulted.
The Southwestern Bell Telephone
company issued 100000 worth of
bonds and didn't speak to Bristow
about it. Neither did they ask the
Kansas commission if they thought the
procedure would be all right.
Under the commissions interpreta-
ton of the law a domestic or foreign
corporation which does business in
this state and issues stocks or bonds
must secure approval of the Kansas
commission. But the Southwestern
Bell company. which until recently
operated in Kansas under the title of
the Missouri Kansas Telephone COM
pany, issued its bonds without con-
ferring with Bristow and his associates
on the commission.
The legal department of the state
commission has written the telephone
company insisting that it has been in
suited and ignored. Now the commits
sion wants a lengthy hearing with
much oratory and probably half doz-
en- junketing trips for members and
attaches of the commission.

assistant Secretary of Agriculture;
Member of National Emergency
Food Garden Commission)
written for the Topeka State Jour-
nal.)
washington. April 1.-THE school
garden can be made of great assist
ance to city folks planning to best the
cost of living by planting back yard
gardens this year The helpful hints
which the little ones get in the school
gardens can be employed profitably in
the home garden.
The national emergency food garden
commission is making a special ef-
fort to interest school children in gar
dening as the knowledge gained
therein is very valuable.
The school should have individual
gardens. if possible. for the pupil will
take much greater interest in his own
little patch than he will in a common
ownership of garden. His pride will
be excited and he will want to do his
best. Since the area must, of course.
be limited the school garden must
eliminate the broad leaved. tall, climb
ing plants. Beans, beets, lettuce, rad
ishes, and even tomatoes can be rec
commended.
Let Pupils Do the Work.
W
the garden and be a foot apart with
the exception of the rows of tomatoes,
which should be twenty inches apart.
A rotation of crops, in order to get the
most out of the area, should be
planned. Quick maturing crops
should be planted in groups thus pro-
viding as much area as possible when
it comes time for replanting.
All work should be done by the pu-
pills as well as planting the seed and
-
can explain the reason for each step.
This entire dependence upon the pu-
pill will be to his best interest and if
success comes it will all be his.
Pointers on How to Plant.
Here are suggestions for the school
gardens:
LETTUCE should be sown in drills
in the open or in boxes in the win
dows. If in the open, the seeds
should be scattered about half an inch
apart along the row. Cover with not
more than one-half inch of earth. The
earth should be made firm over them.
When the plants are we'll up, thin to
six inches apart. If window box,
transplant young plants to stand two
inches apart each way. When they
begin to crowd, transfer them.
RADISHES should be sown half an
inch apart and not deeper than one
inch, yet .-ot less than half an inch, in
rlcn, well prepared SOIL When snow
ing the second set of true leaves
should be thinned from one to two
inches apart in the row.
BEANS should be planted in the
open for the best results. Delay their
planting until sure the last frost has
passed. Plant in rows one foot apart
and place the seeds two inches deep at
intervals of six inches. The soil must
be kept loose and free from weeds
BEETS require a longer season for
maturing than beans, radishes or let
tuce, but they can be planted at the
same time as radishes and lettuce
The seeds should be placed in rows
one foot apart, an inch apart in the
row, and covered one inch deep. When
two inches high, thin to four inches
apart in the row. Keep the soil we'll
