MUCH WHEAT ON HAND.
Farmers Have Nine Times As Much
As Usual in Bins.

Kansas farmers still have &c.
out of the 1919 production, accord
ing to a report released last night
by Edward c. Paxton, Kansas field
agent of the bureau Of crop esti-
mates. A year ago on March !
farm wheat stocks had dwindled
to 4,0SO,0OO bushels; two years ago
only $685.. 900 bushels were still in
farmers bins. However, in March,
1918 following Kansas largest
wheat production. farm stocks were
estimated at 30, 124, 900 bushels.
Delay in marketing the 1919
wheat crop is generally attributed
TO three causes. The primary cause
has been shortage of cars for ship
ping. In the northwest and north
eentral counties threshing was
greatly hampered by fall and early
winter rains and is not yet com
pleted in some localities. Some
ldIlntIs III an Ildlls " thN eeu"N
who were able financially TO wait
and were so minded have held back
their wheat, believing that spring
markets would see decided in
crease in price. All in all it has
resulted in the largest March carry
over witnessed in the state. There
is not. however, an abnormally large
stock Of wheat on farms in the I'm
tied States as a whole. Present
farm stocks in the United States
amount to 1876, 1889, 900 bushels, as
compared with 12S,703,0 900 bushels,
last year: 107, 745,0OO bushels in
1918; 1O1, 1850 bushels in 1917;
244,44S, 900 bushels in 1916, and
1852, $685. bushels in 1915.

SAYS MAT COHEN CAN
EXPLAIN EVERYTHING

Charles H. Morris, former Attor-
ney General, lawyer for Mat S. Cohen
former Commissioner of Agriculture,
answering the criticism of H. E.
James State Inspector and Examiner,
said that expenses of Mr.. Cohen
were justified by his obtaining thous-
ands of dollars worth of premiums
for the State Fair. Cohen is very ill
at the Seelbach Hotel and James re-
port has not yet been shown him.
Mr.. Morris says: The worst that
can be said about the charges is that
Mr.. Cohen may have failed to comply
with the law requiring itemized ex
pense accounts to be filed. Some items
may have been charged to the De-
partemnt of Agriculture which should
have been paid by the State Fair. On
his trips Mr.. Cohen collected contri-
buttons to premium funds from large
dealers and packers. He had to en-
tertain some on his missions The
Auditor does not allow charges for
trips, entertaining and numerous ex-
penses entailed in travelling for the
state. Yet, in return for little
hospitality perhaps the fair received
thousands of dollars in premiums.
The management was liberal in
sending passes to the fair to distant
contributors. Not one-tenth of the
passes sent out by the stsuonlii die
passes sent out of the state as mat
ter of courtesy were ever presented
at the fair. 1t is difficult matter
to squeeze the peculiar expenses Incl
dental to operation of an enterprise
like the State Fair into the compass
allowed for the conventional expenses
of a state official. I have no doubt
that MIR. Cohen, when he is physically
able will have no trouble in explain
ing any charges brought against him.

New Checkbooks Here;
Teachers Being Paid

Madison county school teachers
are receiving their checks for the
past months work under the new
check system recently issued by
the State Educational Board. The
new check book arrived on time
after all and Superintendent Ed
wards of the county schools, saw
to it that no time was lost in hav-
ing the check filled out, with the
result that there is but little delay
in the payment of the teachers.
With the exception of schools
in some localities, there is a good
attendance recorded. This fall
ing off at this time of the year is
due, it is said, to the special work
ing permit which is being taken
advantage of by many, this being
the busy time in the tobacco field.
This, however, will soon be at an
end when there will be an in
crease in school attendance gem
orally, it is said.

|HARDINC,S VIEW
ON IRISH QUESTION

Marion, Ohio, Sept. 23-Declar-
ing that the Irish problem is not a
question for official America, Sen
ator Harding today in a statement
said in his opinion the movement
for Irish independence would be
under the League of Nations sub
ject entirely.
"Internal or domestic" he said,
America has already meddled
abroad excessively without invita-
tion," and asserted that official
consideratin of the Irish question
was quite another thing from an
expression of sympathy to set at
rest reports that he might soon
resign his place in the senate.
Senator Harding tday reiterat-
ed that he had no intention of re-
firing, at least long as Ohio had
a Democratic governor who could
name his successor.

SMITH RETURNED
|. ON MURDER CHARGE

Bill Smith, of Blanchester, who has
been in jail here for safe keeping for
some time since he was arrested in
the vicinity of Blanchester for kill
ing a constable who attempted to ar
rest him, was returned to Corbin
where he will in all probability be
summoned before the grand jury. 1t
is claimed Smith shot the officer when
the latter approached him and asked
him about the alleged unlawful sale
of liquor. Smith is said to have
answered the officers query by pull
ing a revolver and shooting him dead
in his tracks. Smith would say onth-
ing of the trouble here, and has held
to himself much of the time since be-
ing brought here 1t is claimed at
Blanchester that Smith and a woman
wer ejointly charged with unlawfully
disposing of whisky. The woman is
said to be still at large.

STUDENT POSSE
BRINGS PRISONER
Claim They Got Him In Dormi'
tory Room At Berea College
Captured After Race

A marshal and a posse of students
numbring at least a dozen from Be-
rea College, arrived late Wednesday
afternoon with man in custody
against whom they cause two charges
to be filed Of housebreaking, and the
prisoner, who gave his name as Frank
Riddle, was placed in the Madison
county Jail.
The members of the party accom-
panying the prisoner to Richmond,
stated they captured him while ran
sacking one of the rooms in the dor
mitory there. They asserted individ-
ually and collectively, and generally
all at once, that they had been miss
ing things from the rooms for some
time and had been on watch for the
thief for some time and they finally
they got him, so they told time and
again. They stated the man was
found in room occupied by girls,
and that he claimed to be a repre-
sentative of an electric light company
and had been sent there to inspect
the light system. After the refusal
to credit this story, several said, the
man broke away and it was only af-
ter an exciting chase through
city and into the country that he was
captured While the prisoner was in
charge of an official, all participants
apparently in the chase, accompanied
the man to Richmond, evidently fear
full that he would escape. He will
be given an examining trial at 8
o'clock Friday morning in county
court. 4t
The students claimed the rooms
in the dormitory had been ransacked
time and again since the beginning of
school, and no trace of the intruder
could be found until htey unexpected
ly ran into the stranger in one of the
rooms occupied by girl. A number
of things have been reported missing
they stated, and were unanimous, in
charging the prisoner with the thefts
The latter, however, had little to say
regarding the alleged operations az.
tributed to him. 1t is said the ac-
cused young man is a resident of this
city. --z.easSa l7.,.
