PHOENIX, ARIZ.-The arrest of a phar-

The authorities found thousands of coun-

SOW LESS WHEAT
Kansas Acreage VIII Be Less
Next Year, Mohler Says.
Labor Shortage and Dry Wealth
er Two of Reasons.
THIS YEARS ACREAGE RECORD
Never Before Did State Have
So Much SOwn.
Price of Grain Is Expected To
Remain High.
THIS YEARS ACREAGE RECORD

The wheat acreage of Kansas last
year. representing nearly fifth of
the total wheat acreage in the United
States, and by far exceeding any pre-
vious record of this state or any other
state, probably will stand as the states
record for some years to come, in-the
belief of ]. C. Mohler, secretary of
the state board of agriculture.
Four reasons why the acreage to
be sown to wheat this fall will not
come up to the 100000 acre rec
ord of the 1918 planting are cited:
The farmers still are busy handling
the present crop-threshing and mar
keting it; farm labor is even more
scarce than it was a year ago, the
unusually dry summer in the eastern
half of the state has rendered the
ground difficult to pillow, except in
localities which have been favored
with rains. and, fourth, the farmers
have not the same incentive to sow
to wheat because the government is
not offering a guaranteed price for
wheat next year.
wheat will continue to bring high
price again this year. He points out
that it probably will be two or more
years before the wheat producing
areas of Europe. affected by the war.

demand. and that meanwhile America
will be looked TO for its surplus wheat.
In portions of the state where the
ground permits the operations of a

for their next years crop. The plant
ing season is from six to eight weeks.

on when cold weather sets in.

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very carefully,
IL you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkah
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins il.
The best thing for steady use is Null
sified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, which rinses out essily.
removing every particle of dust. dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months.-Adv.

SOLDIER DANCE TONIGHT

Reports turned in at the American

dance to be given by the ex-so1dier

in which begging plays no part. and
one in which everyone participating

tighten the burden on ex-soldiers who
wish to resume their studies in Wash.

discovered that the expenses facing

BIG JUMP IN TAXES
Kansas Property Owners Must Paw
$28.SS on the Thousand.

AS far as official figures have been
compiled it is estimated that the COM
bined tax levy for next year will show
an increase of $5.1S. or $26.S8 on each
$1,000 valuation
The figures are based on state, city
and county budget estimates The
state levy has been set at $0.175; the
city, close to 81. and the county levy,
$0.663. The board of education levy
remains at $685. on each 500.
The county budget is not complete
so figures can only be approximations.
Ready money will be scarce in all de-
partments during the winter months.
A rebate was formerly allowed If taxes
were paid in December. This usually
attfacted three-fourts of the taxpay-
ers. A law passed last spring cuts
out the rebate. Taxpayers. 1t is be-
lieved, will now wait until June before
making final payment.
