MORE WHEAT THIEVES ACTIVE
IN GEARY COUNTY NOW
Grain and Fat Hogs Taken East OF
Chapman.

Brown Brothers, who own farm
about nine miles east of Chapman,
discovered that a granary in re-
mote part of their farm had been
entered and several loads of wheat
taken, and Sunday night fat hog
of about 400 pounds was kidnapped,
or murdered and hauled off, from the
yards of John Merrill a mile west of
the Brown Brothers farm. The thief
backed a wagon up at fence and
used Merrirs loading chute to get
the animal out of the pens. Farm
ers in that section are buying pad
locks and shotguns.
The three men who stole wheat
from the Breen Brothers fran and
were caught later stealing chickens,
have not been tried as yet.

In Dickinson county petitions are
nearly completed for a good gravel
road from the county line west to
Abilene.
In Saline county petitions are be-
ing prepared for paved road across
that county.
The prospects are now assured or
very good for 365-day road from
Kansas City and Leavenworth west
to Salina within year.
While this does not show all OF
the road building work that has
been pushed the past eight months
1t is a splendid showing on start
for paved road across Kansas east
and west.
The Kansas Good Roads associa-
ton, OF which j. Frank Smith of To-
peka, is general manager. and who
has been hard at work for the past
year securing the passage of the new
road laws and the financing of 1885,
day roads, is to be given most of the
credit for the fine showing made by
Kansas at this time for better roads.
II the people who want to see good
roads built, will give Mr. Smith their
moral and financial support the good
roads will be coming faster all Of
the time.
Mr.. Smith has set for the goal of
his association and the people of
Kansas 5000 miles of 365-day roads
before 1923. He believes one mile Of
good road will breed two more and
the increase will be very rapid when
once it is started.

Smith of Topeka, general manger of
the Kansas Good Roads association.
Monday that the committees work
ing on the campaign had completed
their work last Friday, having Sc
cured the signatures of the owners
representing over 60 per cent OF the
land In the districts. The petitions
will be filed with the commissioners
of both counties this week and then
application will be made for federal
aid, which is assured as the road has
been previously declared federal
aid road.
The accompanying map shows the
present status of the Fort-to-Fort
road. Petitions have been complet-
ed for an 18-foot concrete road from
Topeka to Lawrence and thence to
Kansas City, Kan, and branch to
Leavenworth. From Topeka west to
st. Marys is a good gravel road In
Shawnee county which at present is
considered a 365-day road and will
be maintained so long as the traffic
does not make 1t inadequate. At
such time as a better road is needed.
and that will not be long after the
new paved roads are completed, then
a permanent road will be constructed
here. From st. Marys along the
south side of the river over the Cot

Pottawatomie county between st.
Marys and Manhattan Just what
success will be met here remains to
be seen. 1t is proposed to include
with this improved road a gravel
road from Wamego to Westmoreland
the county seat of oPttawatomie
county.
In Riley county the county COM
missioners have been holding back
any move to improve the Fort-to-
Fort road across that county from
Manhattan to Camp Funston. This
Is very important section of this
state highway and 1t is hoped that
conditions will soon change in favor
of a paved road across Riley county.
The war department has construct
ed a bituminous macadam road
across the Fort Riley reservation,
which provides good road to the
river between the fort and Junction
City. Arrangements are made for a
paved road into Junction City and a
concrete road is already constructed
three miles southwest of Junction
City.

TO BE REDUCED HALF
New Regulations Issued by A. D
Wilson Became Effective
Monday

Regulations issued by Food Admin
istrator Wilson puts the people of
Minnesota on sugar ration of three
pounds month for each person, for
use in home consumption, which is
estimated to mean a fifty per cent
reduction in the normal use of sugar
by Minnesota househo1ders. 1t also
limits sales by grocers to five-pound
lots, except to farmers, who may buy
10 pounds at a time.
Sugar cards are not required at
present, but Mr.. Wilson announced
that they will come if the order is
not obeyed. Dealers are directed to
limit their customers sugar pur-
chases and also require signed state
ments from them as to their sup
plies, if they believe they are evadi1g
the order by buying from more than
one dealer.
Hotels and restaurants are allowed
to buy in 25-pound lots but are re-
stricted also to the three-pound per
capita basis per month, and are not
to buy more than weeks supply at
q time
