Kansas csttiemen are losing an
average Of 500 a head on beef steers,

that while some relief was promised

would not seek to place the blame for
continued high prices TO consumers
except thru inefficient methods Of ~
tailers. He admitted that consumers
have received little or no benefit while
producers have lost millions.
''Some method Of government aid or

FREE SCHOOL LAND GONE
No Tracts Left For demonstrating In
Kansas Either.
ASSOCIATED Press)

Topeka, Oct. There is no more
free land" in Kansas. This an
nouncement coming almost simultan-
eously with that of the federal land
office that is has no desirable tracts
left or demonstrating, marks the pass
ing of the picturesque days Of set
tiers" and free lands. Only last
month the two retaining federal land
offices in Kansas Dodge City and
Topeka-were consolidated with a
single office in the federal building
here.
The school land system dates back
practically to the organization of the
state when it was provided that two
sections -'16 and 36'-in every
township should be declared the pro-
perty of the state, the proceeds to go
into common state school fund.

The Buick Steering Gear

The Buick steering gear has been de-
signed to combine the attributes of
safety and ease of operation.
The principal advantages entire relief from
road shocks being transmitted through the steer
ing mechanism, and ability to follow the tracks in
mud or sand without wearisome maneuvering
and without the danger Of jumping the ruts. So
that the easy handling of the Buick steering
mechanism will be appreciated by all drivers
AS result of this design the factor of safety in
Buick steering gears is very high. And because of

cation of every part the car may be operated for
many hours time without fatigue the driver

VOTES FOR GOOD ROADS

Mt. Croghan Township voted on
the question of good roads bonds
last Friday. The election was car
lied by the vote of 174 for bonds, to
l5 against. Though the vote was not
heavy, it is evident that there was
very little opposition to progress in
Mt. Croghan Township.
The bonds will bear interest at 5
per cent. for a term of thirty years.
The amount of the issue is $4,000,
to be matched by $4,000 from the
Federal government.
Negotiations for the sale of the
bonds are progressing satisfactorily
and it is believed this end of the
transaction will soon be closed and
that actual work on the roads will be-
gin not later than August.
Word comes from Mt. Croghan
that everybody seems satisfied with
The outcome and they are looking for
ward with great deal of pleasure.
The vote by precincts was as fol-

GOOD ROADS MEETING

Columbia, April 10-County super
visors of South Carolina will meet in
Columbia, Wednesday, April 23d, for
the purpose of forming a State Asso-
citation. The meeting has been called
by the South Carolina Automobile
Association which is constantly work
ing in behalf of better roads in South

building, plans, ETC., would do good
and wrote each of the supervisors of
the State asking if they would at
tend a meeting in Columbia. Prac-
tically every supervisor in the State
answered in the affirmative and the
meeting was arranged.
One of the features will be a good
roads film. Addresses will be made
and officers of the association elected
