AS They Do it in Kansas.

\ Kansas official reached the very
heights of absurdlty one day last
week. when, according to press dis
patches, he asked that $4,000 auto
mobile belonging to 4 wealthy To-
peka business man be destroyed be-
cause the business man had been con-
vcted of bringing Intoxicating liquor
from Kansas City in the car The
destruction of the car would be a
small punishment for the business
man who is wealthy and would go
and buy another. If he was guilty
of breaking law why not punish him
by Jail sentence or whacking a big
fine, or both, and not destroy prop
erty that would be of immense use
to the Y. NJ. c. A, or even the gov
eminent that can hardly get good
cars fast enough? 1t is about as in
telligent as small boy pounding a
rock on which he had studded his
toe.

Piled by the treasury department to
the house ways and means committee,

This data contained many revelations
to the committee. 1t was learned
that many businesses showed enor-

months of the war. The coal BUSH
ness, for instance, showed profits
ranging up to 1000 per cent.
The committee considered two
methods of levying excess profits

in vogue in England, extremely
heavy levies would be made on profits
growing directly out of the war.
The alternate plan is that now in

FRANK ELLIS DROWNED
16-Year-Old Son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Howard Ellis, of Amoret, Loses
His Life in the Marias
des CyRnes.

i Thursday afternoon of last week as
Frank Ellis, son of Editor Ellis, Of
the Amoret Leader and Mrs. Ellis, in
company with his uncle, Alfred Ellis
and younger brother, Ebert, was
bathing in the Marias DIES Cygnes
river, near the Marvel bridge, about
two miles south of Virginia, he
stepped into deep hole and, being
unable to swim, drowned. The body
was later recovered about 50 yards
down stream.
Alfred Ellis, the boys uncle, in a
statement to Coroner Allen and pub
lished in the Rich Hill Review. says
that he and Frank and little Ebert

afternoon. had gone to the river for
swim and had waded out in the
water some IS yards, forming cir

grabbed Frank, but his fland-hold
gave way as Frank fought and strug-
gled in the water At this time AL
fred related that he (Alfred) suffered
from cramp in his hand and therefore
could not hold Frank and he got
away from him, and that Frank could
not swim.
Ebert Ellis gave in substance the
same story. Parties living in that
vicinity and familiar with waters
there hold to the belief that Frank
probably stepped into a deep hole
and becoming strangled, sank, as he
could not swim.
After hearing the stories of the two
boys Coroner Allen concluded that
an inquest was unnecessary The
body was brought to Butler and taken

Many OF them had never had bundle

had been raised on the farm but had
left it SO many years ago they had
but little advantage of the town bred

be the means of saving many bushels
of precious wheat in the vicinity of

nearby pools in buckets had little eff

The wrecked train was halted by a
block at the crossing. 1t is reported
the crossing flagman saw the ap-
preaching troop train and when the
engine passed him threw his lantern
through the cab, awakening the en-
gineer, who, it is said, was asleep.
Both engineer and fireman jumped
and disappeared.
According to the Michigan Central,
it was reported the fireman of the

HELPING THE FARMERS
Business Men of Butler Go to the
Harvest Fields and Help Save
the Wheat.

A back to the farm movement was
inaugurated by the business men OF
Butler last week when they went to
the harvest fields and helped to save
the immense crops OF wheat that the
farmers have been blessed with this
season.
Some time ago the president of the
commercial club appointed number
of business men, who owned automo-
biles, as captains and it was their
duty to take as many as four men to
the harvest field each evening where
they could shock the wheat that had
been cut that day, and the majority
of them responded to the call. Ev-
cry evening several loads of clerks
and men from the stores and business

U. S. Transport Eludes U-Boat in
Hour Battle.

An Atlantic Port, June Alan
American troop transport, formerly a
German liner, which returned this
week from a French port, was sub
jected to shell-fire attack from a
German submarine two days out from
the port of departure, it became
known here today.
The transport escaped by superior
speed, although running battle last
ing more than an hour took place, in
which more than 100 shots were fired
by the two vessels.
The submarine appeared to have
one gun that outranged any carried
by the transport, and from this gun
there were counted IS shots, none of
which, however, hit the American
ship. The submarine did not venture
close enough to use torpedo and
finally gave up the pursuit.
