TRIBUTE To allen
Illinois Banker Praises Gov
ernOr Before Convention.
"Pussyfooters" Is Name Given
to Wilson and Cabinet.

His stamp of approval was placed
on Governor Aliens industrial court
plan and a strong rap was handed to
the national administration by B. F.
Harris, banker and farmer of Cham
paign, Ill, in addresses before the
Kansas Agricultural convention and
the Rotary club last night.
Harris said Aliens plan was funda-
mentally right because it will serve
the public first and last, as should be
the case. 1t will work to the justice
of all, he asserted.
The speaker attacked radicaliSm IN
all forms, declared that when any
clique, clan or organization of men
attempts to usurp the power of gov
eminent by forcing their demands
American citizens to arise and smite
that organization with all their might.
Raise a New Flag.
'Now that we have taken down the
100000 service flags it is time to
put up about 100000 flags of real
American citizenship and rid the coun-
try of the reds and radicals" Harris
said.
"Pussyfooters" was the name given
to President Wilson, his cabinet and
political advisers by Harris, who
blamed them for the conditions, which
allowed the steel and coal strikes.
81 want to congratulate Kansas on
having, in Henry Allen, a governor
who has convened his states legisla-
ture to pioneer the way in finding a
more equitable manner of settling in
dustrial disputes by some more ra-
tional, economic and lawful means
than the strike" Harris said.
THE public welfare is, first and
last, the end to be served; what is best
for all is and must remain best for
each. That means, also, that any type
of agriculture or industry that does
not result in first class social and liv-
ing conditions, with a proper margin
for growth and progressive improves
ment, cannot be permitted. 1t means
that all workers in America must be
aided, given, or safeguarded, as the
case, may be, in the seven great fac
tors of industrial success, namely,
health, education, character, ambition
equipment, environment and reward
Harris started the movement for
closer and more active cooperation
between farmers and the bankers and
city men of the nation. He founded
and edits the Banker-Farmer maya
zine and is head of the committee OF
Rotary clubs to continue the co-opera-
tive movement in each locality.

ASKS SURRENDER

But Democratic Senators Still
Have Fight Left.

Washington, Jan. 16.-William ].
Bryan today continued his campaign
among Democratic senators for imme-
date ratification of the peace treaty.
thru a Democratic surrender to the
Republicans. if no other way is pos
sible. Bryan. who came to Washing
ton late yesterday. was scheduled to
see a number of senators today.
Despite the fact that his proposal
that Democratic members walk out of
the senate chamber and let the Repub-
lican majority ratify the treaty with
the Lodge reservations was not taken
seriously by the Democrats, Bryan
continued to urge it as a last resort.
Democrats who attended a confer

HEADED FOR MEXICO?
Emporia Police Get Tip on Plans of
Ascending Banker.

Emporia, Jan. 16.-Edward J.
Conklin. the missing president of the
defunct Southwestern Farm Mortgage
company, was in Dodge City Saturday
and probably has gone to Mexico. ac-
cording to information received by the
Emporia police. Jim Moran, of Madi-
son. said today he saw Conklin step
off Santa Fe train at Dodge City and
eat breakfast there. Conkin once lived
in Cuba and speaks Spanish fluently.
r. NJ. Hamer, receiver for the mort
gage company. said today the extent
of loss incurred thru Conklin's mapip-
ulations probably will not be known
until an audit is completed.
Conklin's automobiles were found
today in Kansas City, where they had
been assigned to the Continental Ma
tional bank, scouting the theory that
one of the autos may have been used
in the robbery of the Admire bank,
The shortage in Conklin's loan COM
pany is said to be about $4,000. Other
losses are estimated at $4,000.

Irrigation Profitable in Kansas,
Geo. S. Knapp Says.
Water Supply Compares Favor.
ably With Other States.
EASTERN HALF SHOULD AWAKE
Take Advantage of Success in
the Western Counties.
Pumping Plants Could Be In
stalled Cheaper Here.

All things considered, irrigation
should be profitable anywhere in Kan
sas. said George S. Knapp, state irri-
CATION commissioner. in addressing
the forty-ninth annual meeting of the
Kansas state board of agriculture to-
day.
kansas has a water supply which
compares favorably with that of any
OF the leading irrigation states" said
Mr.. Knapp. TT is distributed well
over the state. There are not less
than five million acres or about one
tenth of the total area of the state
which has a. water supply sufficient
for irrigation. There is some irriga-
BILE land in all parts of the state, but
by far the largest portion of it is in
the western part where irrigation may
be done from wells, while in the east
ern part only those valleys which have
running streams in them offer oppor-
tunity for the practice of irrigation on
anything more than a truck garden
ing scale
Irrigation Is Safe.
Mr.. Knapp said that irrigation in
western Kansas practiced by pumping
water from wells is a safe, sound and
profitable undertaking with any crop"
He gave results obtained from expert
station, where the water is lifted more
than a hundred feet, which showed
that the application of 50 worth of
water to alfalfa produced a ton of
hay. Last season, 1919. alfalfa at this
experiment station produced IA tons
of hay. Other crops produced very
good returns.
If irrigation has been so profitable
in the western part of the state, ar

gued Mr.. Knapp, it ought to be more
profitable in the eastern part of the
state wherever a water supply is avail
able, because, as he pointed out, water
can be pumped directly from rivers or
streams without the expense of put
ting in irrigation wells. and therefore
pumping plants can be put in at a
much smaller cost than in western
Kansas. Mr.. Knapp pointed out that
in June. 1916. the average condition
of corn was S1.2 per cent based on
100 per cent as representing a good
stand and satisfactory growth and de-
velopment. The average yield that
followed was 47.2 per cent of a normal
crop for the past twenty years Con
ditions changed more radically in 1913,
when an average condition of 80 per
cent was reported in June and but SO
per cent of a normal yield was har-
vested. Such crops, Mr.. Knapp said.
could be irrigated during the latter
part of the summer at an expense of

TRY 1T ON OTTAWA
Kansas Natural Interested in Three
| Part Gas Plan Adopted There.

Ottawa, Kan, Jan. 16.-Ottawa, as
a three-part gas rate town, is attract
ing lots of attention-from the Doher-
ty gas interests. anyway. About forty
employees of the Empire companies are
on the job of putting in the trial ap-
paratus, testing meters and gas burn
ing appliances and in other operations
in connection with the tryout. In ad-
dition a number of the head officials
of the companies are here frequently
in connection with the work. The En-
pire companies have hired one of the
largest buildings on Main street for
their mechanical headquarters and Of
flee rooms. The work of installing the
rate, for trial purposes it is claimed,
has occupied several months and it is
not nearly finished yet. 1t is asserted
by the gas officials that since Ottawa
is to have the first tryout, they want
to have everything working perfectly.
1t is estimated that the cost of new
apparatus in almost every place that
burns gas, will cost several thousand
dollars. The work is done without
expense to the consumer, SO far as the
apparatus in the homes and offices is
concerned.

SHE RAN FROM BUGS
Hutchinson Woman Has Bacteria
Mania-Goes to Asylum.

manla-IOcS 10 Asylum.
Hutchinson, Jan. 16.-Fear of BAG
terra unbalanced the mind of Mrs.
Eta McCleester Toeys, who was found
roaming on the streets of Hutchinson,
in her nightgown, reading the scrip
lures to passers-by.
She made her escape from home
thru leaping from a second story
window. A street car employe, on his
way home, was startled when the
thinly clad woman grabbed him by
the arm, and proceeded to lecture him
against the bacteria which she de-
clared were swarming over his cloth
ing.
When he took her by the arm and
attempted to lead her home. she
screamed. Neighbors who were
aroused, seeing a man apparently
dragging an unclad woman along the
street. summoned the police. In the
meantime the street car mans family,
worrying over his non-arrival home
also notified the police and a second
patrol went out looking for him. And
still a third patrol was sent out when
the family of the demented woman
found she had left home, and notified
the police.
