WILL GUT Down
DRINKING HOURS

LONDON, Oct. 8, (By Associated
Press. Twelve hours a day for
drinking will be proposed by British
salonkeepers, in a bill they expect TO
introduce to Parliament. Before the
war the number of weekday hours
for the sale OF liquor was fixed at
1919 in London, II in provincial
towns and 16 in the country.
The new bill proposes to le,ve
Sunday hours substantially as theY
we're in pre-war times, the London
number. 7, being applied to the
whole of England.
Framers OF the measure say they
are seeking to convert the public
house from a place used merely for
the consumption OF alcoholic
drinks into one of varied public re-
freshment and social entertainment.
They propose to remodel public
houses in order to make them com
modious and airy to introduce
music, dancing and games.
Temperance leaders strongly op-
pose the bill. The liquor trade"
commented George b. Wilson, sec
retary of the United Kingdom AL
lance, fear the advance of public
opinion in this country and is alarm
ed by what has taken place in Amer
lea. 1t is proposed to make the
drink shop so attractive that it will
become the social center of the
neighborhood, open apparently to
women and children as well as men.
Il seems impossible to believe that
the great volume Of public opinion
will agree to a measure which will
enormously increase the power of
drink"
Under the wartime regulations,
which are still effective, hours for
the sale Of drinks in public houses
are restricted to between IL O'Clock
noon and 2:30 p. m, and btween 6
and 10 p. m.

from high water less in very rainy sea-
sons. This vast acreage of ponds or
lakes would take up a great deal of
the surface water and make it un-
necessary to build bikes and water
walls, as is contemplated in many
localities in the state.
1t seems that the weather bureau
of the United States. as kept for the
past forty years, shows that there has
been very little increase or decrease
in the average yearly precipitation In
any county in the state. The evapora-
ton from these ponds might not very
much increase the precipitation in the
state. but the evaporation from these
ponds would be very great during the
extremely hot weather and this mois-
ture once in the atmosphere would re-
turn either in the form of dews, fogs
or showers. Moisture once taken into
the atmosphere, If blown away to some
other locality, will return to the earth
in some form. Corn being one of the
principal grains of these three states
will absorb moisture that comes either
in the form of dews or fogs. as the
leaves act as conductors to carry It to
the roots of the corn stalk; this mois-
ture, without any heavy rains. will
make a fine corn crop. when without
the dews and fogs there would be
scarcely any corn. At the same time
the berry crop, which often is cut
short at that time of the year just for
want of little moisture.
Much Water Wasted.
Nearly every year we have a very
large amount Of rain carried off in the
streams. which often causes floods and
washouts in many localities. By mean;
of the ponds. a very large amount Of
this surplus water would be retained
in these states
1t would double or treble the produc-
ton of corn and berries of all kinds
Would very much help the pastures
AS corn is the main product tina
makes our beef and pork. it would
very much increase the meat produc
ton of this part of the country. A
the same time, it would affect thu
climate and make 1t more pleasan
and cool during this hot period. Also
the fish would soon be a considerabl,
product and very much help out a.
meat food product
1t is a fact that all have noticed
during these dry periods, that tn
showers that come follow the river
and streams, which shows that thes'
showers are produced from the moist
ure drawn from the streams.

Feeling Real Boom.
Two Wells DrilIing-Twelve
Rigs Are on Ground.

Big Concerns Spending Thou
sands in This Field.
Biggest City in Kansas With

FIELD IS MOST ATTRACTIVE
WEDNESDAY.

Herington, Kan, Aug. 30.-Hering-
ton is entering into her third boom in
the last thirty years. The location of
what is known as the Harrington oil
field and what has been granted to be
the best outlook in the state. has at
tracted hundreds of persons and hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to this
city.
Two oil wells are going deeper every
day in this field and twelve rigs are
being erected or are being unloaded
for a thoro test of this locality. The
interests that made the Peabody field
famous have bought up Harrington
field leases and are drilling. The Car
ter company is in the field and other
big concerns have sent biologists, op-
orators and field men here for the big
opening OF this territory.
Leases are selling for from $40 to
$50 an acre and changes in possession
are made daily. Some leases are i'm
held by operating companies for the
purpose of testing. Locations are
spread in all directions from the city
limits and oil men are confident that
their mammoth expenditures in equip
ment and salaries will not be wasted.
City Is Improving.
The boom has made it impossible
to find sufficient housing in the city.
Harrington is a town of $500 inhabi-
tants and the war held down building
Houses are being built in all parts OF
| the city and contractors and carpen-
tiers are crowded with contracts. Bust
ness men. however. have been able to
| hold down rents and prices to such ar
| extent that oil prospectorS will not be
discouraged from entering the field
with their families.
Harrington is the largest city in Kan
sas with only two banks. Cities much
smaller support three, four and five
| financial institutions. AS result ap-
plications are before the state charter
] board for additional financial facili-
| ties here.
The city is growing, many miles Of
pavement have been laid and the PEG
pie are prosperous and progressive.

GAME IN KANSAS NOW
Plenty of Rabbits and Squirrels
This Season.
Sportsmen Will Have Ten Days
of Quail Shooting.

Winter will arrive in Kansas much
ahead of The usual schedule this year,
according to the opinions expressed by
numerous students of the out-of-doors.
In fact the general trend of comment
is that fall and winter will be almost
as one. There will be no appreciate
interval between summer and winter.
Perhars the most authoritative of
the opinions are expressed by the con-
firmed duck hunters who watch the
moves of the flying fowl with an eye
to pleasure as we'll as with an eye TO
weather indications. Travellers who
have been touring thru the western
part of the state and as far south as
the Oklahoma border report ponds
and lakes covered with ducks. And
most of the reports agree that the
ducks are of the variety known as
large" as against the fast flying
teal.
MaIIards Going Early.
One authority who is habitue OF
Lake View and its purlieus shows pic
lures taken at the lake as early as
the middle of July. Mallard duck are
shown in the pictures in sufficient
numbers to warrant this particular en-
thusiast making the assertion that II
was a real fight and not merely a
bunch of stragglers.
Travellers coming in from the west
ern districts of the state and from
the salt marshes near Hutchinson and
Stafford and Great Bend are almost
unanimous in their assertions that not
for many years have the ponds and
lakes of the region been peopled by
the feathered game at SO early a time
of the year.
And these observing sportsmen who
are wise in the ways of ducks, are
unanimous that the unusually early
southwark flight indicates that winter
will sweep close on the heels of de-
parting summer. To them the indi-
cation means that there is in immi-
nence a very short duck shooting sea-
son. For when the heavy" ducks
mallards. canvas backs, and the like
make their annual pilgrimage to the
southland. the real fall flight will be
of short duration.
However short the duck shooting
may be, tho. the sportsmen of the state
ere taking to themselves much com
fort from one thing. The season fol-
quail will be open this year for &
short ten days. And quail are plenti
full. too. after their more than fiv'
years immunity.
OF the other small game there is ar
abundance. Rabbits and squirrel
thrived wonderfully during the spring
and summer months. Food was plen
unheard of creatures in the ANNA
world. OF course the squirrels arr
hoarders of a sort. but their store o.
food is merely the evidence of {
proper foresight and is not an attemp
to control supply in order to regulate
demand.
Sportsmen of Kansas with rank
augmented by hundreds and thou
sands of war-born gunners are expect
ing a 'baggy" hunting season.

AN EARLY WINTER in ALIMONY CLUB
Topekans of All Stations of
Many Are Often Not In Very
Good Standing.
$500 TO $1,000 A MONTH
That Is Average Handled by
District Court Clerk.
One Negro Also Pays Attorneys
Fee by the Month.

From 5000 to $1,000 a month is
paid into the clerk of the district
court each month by ex-husbands
who are reminded weekly. monthly
or yearly of the wives they used TO
have before the divorce mill began
grinding.
High, low and indifferent form the
alimohy string calling at the clerks
office at stated intervals to plank
down money for their great mistake.
Some laugh. others are too mad to
laugh, most of them look shame-faced
and apologize.
The money paid into the clerk
probably represents no more than rs
per cent of the alimony money ex-
changing hands in Topeka each
month. A majority of those in the
alimony group calling at the court
house are husbands who ii is feared
wouldn't stick to their agreements un-
less they knew their payments were
made a matter of public record and q
court order would be issued instantly
should they fail to dig up the alimony
money.
Pays Lawyers by Month.
One negro pays 50 a month alimony
and 81 a month to his attorney for
fees in getting the divorce. II the at
! torney charged him $25 for getting the
divorce, the negro must pay the 81 a
month for two years and one month.
I Some don't pay for months and then
there is a big payment. Ordinarily.
tho. the payments are by the month
and average SIS a month. The largest
payment made at the clerks office Is
$75 a month
There is hardly a big business es-
| Enlistment in Topeka where the
cashier doesn't keep a certain sum out
for alimony which several of its en-
ployes must pay under a court order.
Divorce cases in Shawnee county are
keeping pace with the increase in 9TH
er counties.
Causes of Divorces.
1T won't be until men and women
get over their general cussedness that
there will be any material decrease in
| the divorces" said Judge George II.
Whitcomh of the second division OF
the district court. Just pure cussed-
ness of a man or woman is usually the
reason for a divorce.
Extravaganza is the cause some
times. Hasty war marriages are re-
sponsible for a few. But as a rule, it's
| just pure cussedness"

SCRIPTURE


Matthew 20:29-A.
And as they departed from Jericho, a
great multitude followed him.
And. behold, two blind men sitting by
the way side, when they heard that Jesus
passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy
on us, o Lord, tnou Son Of David
And the multitude rebuked them, be-
cause they should hold their peace: but
they cried the more, saying, Have mercy
on US, o Lord, thou Son of David.
And Jesus stood still and called them,
and said What will We that / shall do
unto you?
They said unto him, Lord, that our eyes
may be opened.
So Jesus had compassion on them, and
touched their eyes; and Immediately their
eyes received sight, and they followed him.

The system, as explained by County

it is thought, many stolen cars were
