WALNUT LOGS WANTED.
Material Urgently Wanted for Maxi
ing Gun Stocks and AerOplane !
PrOpellers.

Walnut logs are wanted more than
ever by firms engaged in war work
for the purpose of making aeroplane
propellers and gun stocks. If one
farmer in a community does not
have enough to make a car load, he
might cooperate with his neighbors
and car load be made up according
ly. The logs are bought in car load
lots.
We have correspondence from the
war department, asking to call this
to our farmers attention and urging
them to communicate with us as to
prices and methods of handling wal
nut logs.
On account of the many activities
of the war department, no special
agents are sent out to purchase these
logs. The scale of prices have been
sent out to this office as well as tc
Rud Bros, of this city for the guild
ance of parties having walnut logs
for sale. Kindly communicate with
them or this Office if interested. The
government deals directly with large
manufacturing firms, who in turn
deal through local buyers, who hand
lie the logs for your convenience
Prices have been laid down the same
as they are for wool and other stapl4
products.
Walnut log owners, your govern.
ment is calling on you for gun stock
material.

How to Make Money.

That is one question that interests
every farmer His experience tells
him that If he can make money, most
of his other problems can be settled
in some fairly satisfactory way.
While it is true that there is no
ready-made recipe ,foe riches, and no
shortcuts to success, it is equally
true that experience points out GER
tain lines that may be followed with
fair assurance Of ultimate success.
F.ofessor Reed, who has been
making a study of the history OF
western Kansas, says that the men
who stayed and have become suc-
cessful were the men who depended
on milking cows and keeping chick
ems and a few hogs to pay the groce7
nv bill, taxes and interest on the
mortgage du'ing the lean years when
wheat was failure"
This simple fact is as true In Ohio
as II is in Kansas. A few cows, a
few chickens, and few hogs, on
which the family may live, leaves the
cash crop largely in the clear, and
the principle is the same whether
the cash cop is cotton or corn, po-
tatoes or wheat.
In these abnormal times it is we'll
not to forget the cows and pigs AMI
poultry. We cannot always sell grain
for two dollars bushel, and II We
permit our farming operations to be-
come lop-sided now, the time may
come when 1t will be hard to reor-
eanize. Life. -

city SCHOOL MONEY
IS NOW UNDER FIRE
DFpoRT OF COMMITTEE SHOWS
LAW FOR LEVYING TAX HAS
NOT BEEN COMPLIED WITH.

The finance committee of the city
council has submitted to that body a
ronort in writing of the present
status of the city public school fund.
The committee reports that it has
found that no request was made by
the school board last year for a tax
lew for school purposes, as the law
requires, but that the council new
ertheless included in it's levy $500
for the schools, and has already paid
the schools $4,000 the present year,
$500 in excess of what was provided
for that purpose. 1t has also devel-
oped that for several years past the
school board has made no formal re-
Guest for a school levy.
When the matter came up in the
council Alderman Wilkinson made a
motion to reject that part of the city
treasurer's report as to payments
made to the city school board the
past year on the ground that the
money had not been provided for in
terms of the law. The motion was
lost by a vote of four to one.

ANNOUNCES FOR REELECTION
Has Presided Over Courts of Pataula

In this issue of The News Hon.
William C. Worrill announces for re-

Judge Worrill has served in this
capacity for the past twelve years
being first elected in 1906, and has
succeeded himself consecutively since
without opposition, which in itself
is evidence of his ability. Since his
occupancy of the office he has pre-
sided at numerous noteworthy trials
and his decisions have seldom been
reversed by the high courts. In all
probability he will be reelected
again without opposition.
