The "bill" or poster, which form

added to more and more by the use Of

for greater advertising efficiency, as

Fort Hays Experiment Station Notes

The Fort Hays Experiment Station,
cooperating with the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, will conduct an
experiment this year, for the control
of Black Chaff, a disease recently
found in wheat.
Mr.. Harry Braun of Washington,
D. c., who has devoted several years
to the study of control methods for
the Black Chaff disease under labora-
tory ond greenhouse conditions, was
nj Hays, Monday and Tuesday, ar
rangign for field test at the Station.
Similar tests will be carried out at
Ames, Iowa, and Saltwater, Okla.
Black Chaff has only been known
for about five years. The disease
causes the chaff to turn black at the
time the grain is forming. In severe
cases, the damage is about five per
cent and is most common during wet
seasons. Considerable Black Chaff
infection was found in the vicinity of
Hays, this year.
Farmers who know that their seed
wheat is affected with sinking smut
or fE.Bunt" as it is sometimes called,
should either secure a clean supply Of
seed or treat their seed before seed
ing.
From experiments conducted this
year at the Fort Hays Experiment
Station, a 35 per cent infection of
smut decreased the yield of wheat
1915 per cent over plats which had
been treated for smut and which were
free from the disease
Information concerning treatment
for smut can be had by writing the

Stolen Car Recovered at Bunker Hi

Stolen Car Recovered at Bunker Hill
A sequel to the capture at Gorham,
week ago yesterday, of the negro
who broke Jail at Hays, is the recov-
cry Of stolen car at Bunker last
week. The same day the negro who
broke Jail at Hays, was captured on
the train at Gorham, a negro drove
up TO the Bunkh Hill station just be-
fore the plug came through. After
the train had gone he went to the
garage and told the garage people
that the folks he expected on the
train had failed to arrive and that he
wished to store his car a week. Lat
er he told them he'd rather sell it
and asked $500 for it. After eonsid-
cradle dickering he consented to take
$3.50 for it.
The proprietor of the garage gave
him $50 in cash and his check for
$500. Later he stopped payment on
the check, after the darkey had beat
it with the $50.
Wichita authorities had sent out
notices of the stolen car, and Thurs
day, Sheriff Peterson went down and
got the car.
It is presumed that the negro came
to Bunker Hill to meet the negro who
broke jail at Hays, but his capture
at Gorham spoiled their plans.-Rus-

This Is the day of the small invest

War Savings stamps are making in

There is nothing more dishearten-

years, to save money and then to see
the rainy day fund wiped out by
the failure of some wildcat scheme
says Luman W. Goodenough. director
Of the War Savings Organization for
Michigan.
widows and Woodworking men are
credulous. They listen to the oily
promises of 'get-rich-quick' promoters
and hand over their savings to sales
men promising impossible profits.
"When the crash comes the savings
of years disappear In an instant and
there is nothing to do but begin life
over again-often at time when
earning capacity has begun to ebb."
Whatever the temptation for wild
cat speculation in the past, there is
no excuse for it now.
Every small investor should realize
that dollar saved while money is the
cheapest commodity being offered will
purchase twice as much of most any
other commodity within four or five
years, so that, in addition to the in
terest that War Savings or other gov
eminent securities yield, the investor
really has earned 100 per cent in the
purchasing power of the dollar saved.
Small sums certainly are worth saw
ing. Amounts that seem insignificant
soon pile up into figures that are i'm
pressive.
A great French banker was once
asked the secret Of French thrift, and
he replied, compound interest"

A COUNTY FAIR
May BE LINED UP.
FOR CANON CITY
IS INDICATION.
Subject is Under Discussion
and Possibly May Reach the
Boiling Point in August.

Since the close of the war talk has
been revived in Canon City OF organ
izing county fair here for the dis
play of the farm, orchard and garden
products of the county. as wei as of
its other Industrial resources. AL
though the matter has not been taken
up in a definite way, a considerable
discussion of the subject is heard. anc
Il Is evident that people are pretty
generally in favor OF such fair
Never have the people of Fremont
county had as much high-class stuff
to show in the matter of livestock
and agricultural productions of all
kinds as they have now, and never
were they as anxious to exhibit it as
at present.
There was a movement under way
here three or four years ago to launch
a county fair. but the war coming on
soon afterwards the undertaking was
Temporarily abandoned on account of
the financial drives of the government
and the diyerting of the a,ts1ttan %
the public to the attainment of the
national purposes in that great enter
prises- With the return of peace the
question of a county fair has again
been brought forward and sooner or
later must eventuats in something
being done in that direction.
The war greatly stimulated agri-
cultural production in Fremont coun-
ty and the dry farms tributary to
Canon City are now growing more ce-
real grains and other marketable
foodstuffs than was produced on the
irrigated lands in the same territory
previous to 1914 The same is true
OF registered livestock OF all kinds.
There is now in the county a lot OF
hfgh-class cattle for exhibition pur-
poses that was not available few
years ago This is especially true of
thoroughbred Jerseys. Holsteins and
Herefords. some of which would COM
mand attention anywhere in the coun-
fy by reason OF their excellence. Hogs
too. have multiplied sind many really
fine specimens OF their kind are to be
found in Fremont county. What is
true OF livestock is equally applicable
to a score OF other things that could
be shown to advantage at a county
fair and help make a success Of The
enterprise.
The question of place for holding
a fair in Canon City has. perhaps.
been more widely discussed than any
thing In connection with the proposed
exhibition. This is, of course. nat.
ural in consideration Of the fact that
