FARMERS DAN GET WATER
FREE OF CHARGE--NEARLY

During harvest II cost me 81 a
day to get water for the men" said
farmer near Sand Springs. But
now the farmers in that direction
will get Sand Springs water prac-
tically free and 1t will be better for
the men and easier on the boilers.
The city commissioners yesterday
installed water crane at Sand
Springs near the drinking fountain
where the farmers may fill tanks for
use in threshing and other needs in
the vicinity of the spring. The water
south and west OF Sand Springs is
considered exceptionally hard on
boilers and when possible the thresh-
ers avoid using 1t. They will send
several miles further for Sand
Springs water now that it is avail
able and pay rs cents per tank for

FIRE DESTROYED WAGNER
HOME EARLY IN MORNING
Partly Covered by Insurance-oris-
in Of Fire Unknown

Fire destroyed the household
goods OF F. e. Wagner and the
house on south Buckeye, in which
thew were residing at 1880 O'Clock
Saturday morning. The furniture
and other goods were partly COW
cred by insurance and the house
was insured to its full value.
II is not known how the fire start
ed but as il originated in a clothes
closet where chest of medicine
was kept, it is the theory that some
acid set fire to the clothes. The
flames were we'll under way when
Mrs. Wagner, who with her son,
Lynn were the only occupants OF the
house, noticed the fire. The alarm
was turned in but the Barnum q
Bailey circus train on its way to Sa-
lima. caused the fire wagon to go
far out OF its way.
After the fire was put out few
flames smoldering in the front part
of the house, started burning at
7 O'Clock Saturday morning so the
fire wagon made another run. The
house was practically destroyed and
the furniture charred and spoiled
by the fire and water.

BOYS WHO SET FIRE TO
SCHOOL HOUSE PAROLED

The five boys who set fire to the
school house in Banner township
several weeks ago were tried in
probate court Thursday. The boys
range in age from five to seven.
They said that they broke the win
dows Of the school house, climbed
in and set fire to some coal oil after
pouring it on the floor. They also
claimed that they thought the fire
was out before they left the build
ing.
AS this was the boys first offense
they were paroled to their parents.
One little fellow commenced crying
when placed on the stand and the
only way testimony could be secur-
ed from him was to permit him to
sit in another chair and then ans
wer questions.

WILL REPAIR PAVING IN
THREE WEEKS-NOT SERIOUS

H. A. Kingsley of the Kaw Paw
ing company is here looking over
the paving. There are a few bumps
caused by expansion of heat" said
he ''but three or four days work
will repair them. The pavement is in
good condition. We shall have work
men here in about three weeks to
make the repairs" Most of the work
is needed on Kinney and south Buck
eye, but the company will put all the
pavement laid by it in condition
wherever there are imperfections.
The city has cut the pavement in
several places to lay or repair water
pipes and these also will be repaired.

CROWDER ORDERS MEN TO
BE PUT IN CLASS ONE

Provost Marshal General Crowder
informed state draft executives and
they, in turn, will notify all local
boards that more than so per cent
of the 744,500 registrants in the
1918 class are expected TO be plac-
ed in Glass as physically quail
fled for general military service,
and instructed them to give spec
ial scrutiny to the report of any
local board which fails to classify
this percentage.
This estimate, General Crowder
said, is based upon study of the
operation of the draft, and the only
exceptions which will be recogniz-
ED are in the case of communities
having a large alien population, or
which have released large numbers
of the 1918 class to the navy, ma
rine corps or emergency fleet.
1.-THE national average should be
much higher than SO per cent, be-
cause industrial, agricultural and
dependency deferments and physi-
cal reflections should be much low
err" General Crowder message
said.

STURGES MADE A VISIT
TO COUNTY AS CANDIDATE

Fred w. Sturges, of Concordia
made visit here today in the inter
est of his candidacy for the Republic
can nomination for congress, He Is
meeting many supporters over the
district. The Clay Center Republican
has the following to say about him
and his candidacy:
cat the August primaries the re-
publicans will choose their candi-
date to oppose the reelection of Mr..
Helvering. There are two candidates:
Fred w. Sturges, Jr., of Concordia,
and j. G. Strong, of Marshall county.
Many strong reasons in our view ex-
list for the support of Mr.. Sturges
as against his opponent.
Geographically, Mr.. Sturges is
from a portion Of the district that
has not heretofore had the honor of
having the representative. Marshall
county, the home of Mr.. Strong, has
furnished the congressman for
generation, barring only one or two
terms, and the present representa-
tive is from that county. Common
fairness suggests that other counties
are entitled to consideration. If the
Republican nomination goes to Mr..
Strong at the primaries, then it be-
comes a question at the general cleo
ton as to which of the two Marshall
county men, Helvering or Strong,
is to be the congressman for this
district. In other words Marshall
county wants it and proposes to have
it "going or coming"
"Mr. Sturges is splendidly equipp-
ed by ability, experience and person
atty to be an ideal congressman. He
is a lawyer of exceptional ability
and is a man of character and in
tegrity of the highest order In this
he is well known as lawyer
and business man. He is clean
forceful speaker and has pleasing
In politics he has been an
active worker for the success of re-
publican principles. He has been
chairman of the Cloud County Re-
publican Committee, chairman of the
Fifth District Congressional Com
mittee and was delagte to the last
National Convention,
where he was an active worker for
he nomination of Mr.. Hughes.
"Mr. Sturges has not made an ex-
ended canvass. He has preferred
hat the voters express their choice
without advice from the candidates.
This should count for him, rather
han against him. Report has been
made by supporters of Mr.. Strong
hat Sturges is not candidate. II
t shall appear that such reports are
made todeceive voters, it is surely |
good reason for giving support to
sturges.
'Sturges is our neighbor, a man
we'll equipped for the office and one
Who in all ways would measure up
O the requirements. He deserves and
hould have the support of Repub-
lean voters thruout the district"

F. L. Williams Dead

Frank L. Williams, one of the
leading attorneys of Clay Center,
died suddenly Saturday afternoon.
He had presided at an Allen meeting
in the park and feeling faint went
to drug store collasping and pass
ing away quickly. He was fine
lawyer, a courteous gentleman, a
student and the soul OF upright
ness. Central Kansas loses one Of
its finest citizens.
