Immediate REIMBURSEMENT Of all prices

ture in o. statement issued today.
"Ffgured in the basis OF readjust-
ment in the prices Of farm crops from
the war; time levels" said Mr.. Mohle1
midwest farmers have purchasing
nctwer of more than two billion dol
iSrs represented by wheat, corn, oats,
rye and potatoes of 1920 production.
This does not take into considera-
ton two billion dollars worth OF live
stock which probably will be market
ed before March l.
1.-THE valuation is based on current
market prices Of all commodities be-
tween October 80 and November 30
and the figures on production are
taken from the Monthly Crop Re-
porter, 1920. They are official. The
crops have not all been marketed but
they are going to market and the
cash is going to the farm every day"

URGE CONSOLIDATION
X. 3. NJ. Aiding Rural Schools In
Consolidation

The Kansas State Normal school
has opened mp a new field In Its ser
vice for the state, II has organized
a department OF school consolidation
to aid rural and village communities
in consolidation campaigns and In
1.-THE past nine months has assisted In
the organization Of eleven new con-
eolidated schools I'm which more than
1000 farm children who would other
wise be going to- one-r0Om schools
are receiving schools as good as the
best in the state. Thirty one motor
busses are used In transporting these
children to and from school.
The Kansas Normal launched a
campaign for consolidated schools
last March beginning with a nation
n rural life conference that brought
the leading rural school specialists OF
the United States here for three.
Gay discussion. A department OF
school consolidation was immediate
" organized in the normal school
with N. L. Smith, a rural school
specialist, who has taught In the

partment. Mr.. Smith, w. d. Ross,

LITTLE FOLKS ARE CARED Fol
81. Joseph's 0rphansge Has Every
Convenience

convenience
A good many people just hear of
the orphanage and that Is as far as
II IN ever given a thought. But mt
the same time this Ii a home insti-
tuition that Is worthy OF meption.
Here IL n home as fine as yOu will
find In the state for the poor home
ess children, no matter what race or
denomination. They now have there
nearly one hundred orphans and
about twenty five old people, most OF
them living on charity.
Did you ever stop to think what II
takes TO operate an institution OF this
kind? '-T-- -
The buildings are strictly modern
with every convenience. There Is an
automatic electric passenger elevator
to accommodate the little ones and
old folks from door to floor. A steam
laundry driven my motor power Is
used to keep all the clothes clean.
There IL an electric dough mixer
where every day there are from 20
to 100 lOaves Of bread mixed ana
baked. Electric milking machines,
and electric food choppers are also
nsed. Every hit Of food Is measured
and weighed before cooked as order
ed by the state and every child Is
weighed every two weeks to show
loss or gain of each. There IL an un-
foreground vegetable and storage
commissary with storage capacity
Of from four to Ave carloads. I'm
der the supervision Of Sister Savia
Won win and heard Of Holstein milk
cows, as fine as there is In the state.
From IS to 35 cows are MIXED daily
to supply the little folks with fresh
milk and butter. They also keep
from 500 to 1000 chickens to keep
them in fresh eggs.
The farm consists Of 240 acres OF
land and three men are kept the year
round TO look after it. They also
have n grade school where the chill
dren are taught to the eighth grade.
This is under the supervision OF SIS
ter Josepha and Sister Celesta. Here
also is taught music from one OF the
finest music teachers in the state,
Sister Madeline. Sand Springs water
and city gas are also used in the
home and owing to the high altitude
two automatic electric pumps are
used. One is placed at the foot OF
the hill to force the water to the
building and the other IL inside OF
the building to force the water to tne
top floor.
Their fire protection consists OF
fire hose on each floor and fire es-
canes. Their chapel has seating ca
pacity of about 200. Rev. John
Regain is their pastor.
In the near future they expect to
build an annex to the main building
at cost of about $4,000 as they
are becoming more crowded from
day to day. This entire institution
is being managed by the Mother gu
perior Regis who deserves much cred
1t for splendid management.
With Christmas drawing near
there will be an opportunity for Abb
lene people to show their interest IN
the institution and help make the
children happy by providing some
of the Christmas presents for them
Visitors afe welcome at the orphan
age.
