HE'S AFTER TACK ARTISTS.
Roy Payne Offers Reward for Arrest
of TormentOrs.

1t used to be that tacks were used
as a means of getting even" by plac-
ing them on a chair with the sharp
end up and allowing them to pene-
trate certain sections of anatomy.
1t took Roy Payne of the Payne
Taxicab & Baggage company to dis
cover that the modern use of a tack
in getting even''-with him anyway
is in throwing tack in and around
the depot cab stands where his taxis
stand and puncturing the tires.
Payne ! has complained publicly
several times that he was being per-
secuted by independent taxi drivers
who were denied the right to park at
railroad stations following a supreme
court order, who threw tacks on the
pavement and sent his drivers out on
wild goose chases'' in answer to
phone calls for taxis in the outskirts
of the city. Now Payne is advertising
in an endeavor to get the man who is
doing it. An advertisement appearing
in Topeka newspapers signed by
Payne follows:
1925 reward for information lead
ing to arrest and conviction of per-
son or persons throwing tacks in
and around our depot cab stands"

WEEK OF HOT WEATHER
Splendid Corn Temperature But
Too Warm for Ripening Wheat.
(By s. d. Flora, U. S. Meteorologlst.)

Temperatures this week were alb
normally high in all parts of Kansas,
generally ranging on the COS in the
afternoons, and the nights were warm,
making it a splendid week for corn
but too hot for wheat, which is ripen-
ing prematurely in many places, ac-
cording to the reports of 120 CORE
spondents of the weather bureau. The
rains were spotted and fell largely in
the extreme eastern counties, some of
which had excessive downpours, and
a few scattered localities in the west
ern half of the state, leaving fully
two-thirds of the counties in need of
more moisture for all crops, except
wheat and oats.
Wheat harvest has begun in the ex-
IRENE southern counties and in another
ten days will be general as far north
as Stafford, Reno and Mcpherson
counties, and the Kaw valley, where it
is now showing signs of ripening. The
hot weather has already damaged
wheat to a small extent in the eastern
half of the state and there are numer-
Gus complaints in the western half
that in spots it is turning an I'M
healthy. whftish color and that volun-
teer wheat, where it is too thick. is
suffering on account of the ground
being too dry to supply sufficient
moisture.
Corn is from a foot and a half to
and south-central counties and gen.
orally from six inches to a foot high
elsewhere and growing splendidly.
The dry weather is causing it to root
deeply and take on a healthy color.
1t has been cultivated from two to
three times in the southeast quarter
of the state and at least once else
where, except the extreme western
counties, and the fields are generally
clean.
Oats and barley are generally doing
fine, except that oats need rain in
northern counties. oats are ripening
rapidly, tho short, and their harvest
has already started in the southern
counties.
The first cutting of alfalfa has
mostly been harvested in the eastern
half of the state, with less than the
usual damage by rain. and is under
way in the western counties. The sec
ond cutting is starting slowly as a
rule, on account of lack of moisture.
Potatoes and all truck crops need
rain badly. Grain sorghums have
been favored by the weeks weather.

Tells How to Strengthen Eyesight SO
Per Cent in n Weeks Time in
Many Instances

Philadelphia, Pa.-Dr. Lewis. an eye
specialist of many years practice, says
summer time is hard on the eyes be-
cause the glare of the sun. heat and
dust injure and weaken them. He
says it is possible to strengthen eye
sight wonderfully in a very short time
by using Bon-Opto. He prescribes it
freely and further says: "A patient
came to me suffering from Blepharitis
Marginalis. Her eyes had the dull ex-
preston common to such cases. She
used Bon-Opto and not only overcame
her distressing condition, but SO
strengthened her eyesight that she was
able to dispense with her distance
glasses. Her headache and neuralgia
left her. In this instance 1 should say
her eyesight was improved 100 per

of great value to many eye sufferers.
Many whose eyes were <Iiling say they

WOULD FREE SO NEGROES.
All Serving Life Terms at Leaven'
worth On Army Charges.

Kansas City, June 16.-Habeas
corpus proceedings, seeking the re-
lease of 80 negroes now serving SEN
fences of life imprisonment in the
federal prison at Leavenworth, are set
for hearing in the United States dis
trict court in Kansas City, Kan. for
next Saturday, June 10.
The 80 negroes were sentenced to
prison following rioting of negro
troops of the Twenty-fourth infantry
in Houston, Tex, August "a. 1917.
Twelve white men, police officers, ma
tional guardsmen and civilians, were
killed in the rioting.
Thirteen negro soldiers were hanged
following trial by court martial and
the 80 in whose behalf the habeas
corpus proceedings have been brought
were received at Leavenworth in De-
cember, 1917. At the time of the
trials the sentences of the court mar
tiaI were confirmed by President
Wilson.
