Other DiOceses in West Are

OF Bishop James Wise. of Topeka. Is
granted. Bishop Wise wants motor

regular Sunday services may be held
in surrounding towns. instead OF the
occasional devotions as in the past
The membership of the Episcopal
church in this state has not been large
time ciergymen and parsonages in
many small towns where Episcopal
churches are located. 1t has there
fore been the custom for the clergy
men to remain in Topeka and pursue
their courses OF study, the church oc-
casionally paying their expenses to
surrounding towns for Sunday serv-
ices.
Every Sunday Service.
With several high-powered motor
cycles. however. Bishop Wise believes
he could provide a number OF small
towns within a sixty-mile radius of
Topeka with services every Sunday.
In other sections of the West the
request OF bishops for motor cars ana
motorcycles has led the board of mis-
slons TO seriously consider the pro-
position Of equipping each. diocees
with machines. In Texas. where there
is so much room that the church has
four dioceses, motor cars have been
requested by Bishop Quinton L Quin,
Of Houston, and Archdeacon Garner.
Of Amarillo. South Dakota Is another
Episcopal diocese where motor cars
are expected to play a part in evan
gelizing the state. 1t is estimated that
priests there can do four times the
usual amount Of work with a machine.
Big Factor in Church.
In localities where a train a day
or every other day is the rule. IL is be-
lieved the motor car will be a potent
factor in giving the public services
every Sunday instead OF once or twice
a month as has been the case In the
past. II the bishops can prove that
with the aid OF gasoline they can in
crease their activities 400 per cent.
it is expected that the directors OF
the nation wide campaign will include

ton for the equipment OF a band OF

State Showing a
Matter Of Figures.
Meanwhile Money Is Wasted
Feeding the Sheep.
BARRIER HAS A new PLAN
Doubts Farming Ability at
Winfield Institution.
Sheep Ate Grass and Cows
Were Fed Grain.

Bert Barrier, who came fresh from
the farm to the state board of admin
istration, may revise a bunch OF book
keeping methods for farmers and
stock growers at state Institutions.
Barrier is today convinced that some
of the remarkable showfngs of earn
ings 1t institutions are due to good
bookkeeping rather than unusual
farming ability.
At the winfield state hospital a
bunch OF sheep are listed at value
OF $50 a head. BY using these figures
the state made an excellent profit by
feeding the sheep expensive grain and
giving them pasture land needed for
the hospitals herd Of milk cows. But
by consulting the market reports,
Barrier isn't exactly certain that the
sheep would produce the book value
il sold on the open market.
Feed Grain to Cattle
They are not exactly fancy looking
sheep. either" Barrier said today. as
he looked perplexed and tried to
reconcile the book values and the ex-
pense items of the nannies and billies.
What is more. the sheep have eaten
about all the grass at the Winfield
institution and il was necessary TO
buy grain for the cows. II those
sheep are worth $40 a head my farm
education has been all wrong
The sheep were purchased by the
state before Wylie Cook went to the
institution as superintendent. Barrier
will ask state board members to sup
port his plan to send the sheep to the
state penitentiary farm at Lansing.
where they may eat thistles and
shrubbery. The plan will at least re-
duce expenses. Barrier urges.

CUT FREAK PUBLICITY
Roy Bailey OF Salina Would Curb
Legislative Foolishness.


Roy Bailey of the Salina Daily Jour
nal, would shut off the source OF in
sriration for foolish legislation in
Kansas. He wants ? provision which
prohibits news writer's and publica-
lions mentioning the name of an au-
thor OF a measure before the house or
senate.
Bailey believes freak lawmakers
have placed Kansas IN the foolish
class among the states OF the nation.
He attributes the entire trouble to
publicity.
The more insane and foolish a bill
before the legislature. the more pub
lfcity the author of the bill received"
said Bailey The only safe and sure
way back to sanity is to prohibit the
publication OF the name Of a legislator
in connection with his bill. Too many
people have used this free advertising
to fool the voters and seek office It
will take the foam and froth off the
foolish stuff II the newspapers merely
mention the house or senate numb
OF a bill and ignore the author who
usually hopes To ride to power as a
cheap reformer."

house departments. He stopped in
