Confessions were obtained from the

cording to their alleged confessions,
over litigation that threatened to de-
prive them of a store operated by

WARM and SUNSHINY
September in Kansas Was Dry and
With High Wind Movement.
BY S. D. FLORA, METEoRoLoGIsT.

BY S. D. FLORA, METEOROLOGIST.
September just closed was excep-
tionally warm and sunshiny, with
much less than the usual amount of
rainfall and a high wind movement.
as shown by the detailed summary
that will be issued by the weather bu-
reau tomorrow morning.
Temperatures were above normal
more than two-tnirds of the days and
the monthly mean was, with three ex-
ceptions, the highest on record for
September. The highest temperature
recorded was 96 degrees on the 10th
and the lowest As degrees on the 23d.
Only two other Septembers have
passed without a lower temperature
than this. There was a light frost in
exposed places on the morning of the
23d, but no damage whatever was
done.
The first half of the month was en-
tirely rainless, which is quite unusual,
but the latter part received ESQ
inches, or somewhat more than two
thirds of the monthly normal, making
it the driest September in the past
five years.

NOW 252 STATE REPOSITORIES
Estimated State Funds on Deposit
VIII Be $3,25O, 600 in Year.


The number of repositories for state
funds are being increased to 252 Kan
sas banks thru negotiations now under
way between the state treasurer, the
attorney general and the banks. This
is eighty-fiye more banks than here
tofore have been repositories for state
funds. The part played by the at
torney general is approving the bonds
deposited with the state treasurer by
the various banks. These bonds serve
as security for the deposits.
The state funds now on deposit In
the banks thruout the state are at low
ebb-approximate1y $1,250,000. May
and June and October and November
are the months when the funds are at
a minimum, but with receipts of the
semi-annual tax collections, Whicn pc
gin in June and November, the states
bank account swells- 1t is estimated
that during the ensuing year 1t viii
reach $3,250,000 in its most flourish
ing stages. 1t was this maximum
amount which was allotted among the
252 successful bidders for state FUNDS.
Only thirty banks bids were rejected.
They bid under ~ per cent for the
state deposits and such bids were not
accepted. The bids accepted range
from 3 Il per cent to 4 1-8.
A fine point arose regarding banks
depositing liberty bonds as securities
for their deposits. The opinion finally
prevailed that the state treasurer
could accept these only at market
value, rather than at face value. The
total bonds required as security by
the state must equal, dollar for dollar,
| in value the maximum sum deposited
by the state and the contract runs for
| two wears. However, the deposits are
subject to disbursement at any time
| by the state.
