school fund for 1918, was made by
State Sup. w. d, Ross, this week. Two
apportionments are made each year,

JURY DECIDES THE HORSE
WAS BLIND-$169 DAMAGES

After a two days trial in Judge
Quinns court, the jury in the case of
A. d. Martin vs. A. G. Merrilat gave
verdict for the plaintiff. Mr.. Mar
tin claimed that the defendant sold
him a horse for 1925 and at the
time of the sale the horse was sup
posed to be sound. Mr. Martin al
legged that after he had purchased the
horse, he found that it was blind.
The defendant said the horse never
was blind as long as it was in his
possession. Martin asked for the
$125 which he paid for the horse
and an amount to cover all expenses.
The jury gave Martin $169.
Martin resides at Hope and Merri-
lats home is in Lost Springs.

been general throughout Kansas,
Oklahoma and Missouri Farmers
are jubilant at the prospects of a
big wheat crop. The rain which
started late Saturday night was the

Abilene was ~ of an inch with .21
of an inch which fell last week, the
crop prospects have been materially
advanced.
The general condition of wheat
near Pratt is reported excellent,
where two inches of rail have fallen.
Hutchinson and the wheat belt in
the western part of the state will
reap the benefit of a soaking rain
which started falling at midnight
Saturday. Salina reports that wheat
and oats received needed moisture
in the last twenty-four hours and
that more than an inch has fallen
since last Thursday.
The ground in the vicinity of Min

CONCRETE ROAD FROM
JUNCTION CITY TO LINE.

Junction City Union: When a pc
tition for 16-foot concrete highway
between Junction City and Dickinson
a distance Of eight miles along the
Golden Belt Highway, was presented
to the county commissioners today,
it was found that every farmer in the
road district had signed it. They
also insisted that the road be made
eighteen feet wide.
The county commissioners have de-
clared the road a public utility and
application will be made for a share
of the federal road fund to aid in
it's construction. Completion of this
road will give a paved highway on
the Golden Belt from east reserva-
ton line, near Ogden to Dickinson, a
distance of approximately twenty
miles.

GOODBYE TO PASSES
FOR THE SHERIFF NOW

Secretary McAdoo has taken an
action that will meet with general
approval-he has taken away from
sheriffs their railroad passes. From
time immemorial the sheriffs of
Kansas through their association,
have secured from the legislature
permission to use railroad passes.
When they travelled on county busi-
ness they used the passes and at the
same time charged the fare up to
the county, making a nice little ad-
dition to their salaries. Under gov
ernment management that has been
stopped and now the county will
simply refund the fare paid.
