FIRES IN WHEAT FIELD

Whether it is strictly accidental or
but year after year in this great
wheat belt of Kansas, there are thou
sands of acres of grain destroyed by
fires. The losses for 1920 have al
ready commenced and have been
quite heavy in some places. We are
not prepared to say that these losses
are all on account of carelessness on
known that many of them are. The
farmer is so deeply interested in saw
ing his wheat crop from possible loss
on account of weather conditions, that
he loses sight of the far greater dam
age which can be done by fire in a
very short time. Hundreds of fields
and thousands of stacks are left un-
guarded each year and many losses
occur on account of it. Some of the
farmers along the railroads, from
which the fires are most liable to
start, do not even p1oW fire guards
to make a showing at protecting their
grain. Losses are the result. They
are not only the result for the farm
er whose land adjoins the rail road
but the fire is carried to other farms
and after it has gained headway will
damage to the farmer who has taken
some precaution. The busy, success
full and thrifty farmer is usually the
first one in the community to ploW
fire guards and to carry insurance.

MORE OIL WELL MATERIAL
ARRIVED

As rapidly as the company can get
the tools and material here they are
being put into place and the other
work necessary to getting the outfit
ready for drilling is being done. C.
r. Pollen, of Wichita, under whose di-
rection the drilling is to be done, was
here Monday looking after the con-
struction work and taking a list of
the remaining necessary articles
which will complete the outfit. A
truck load of water piping, pump and
engine arrived here Friday and the
water line is being laid from the Sa-
line river to the location of well No. 1.
The water will be used In the engine
boiler and in the well while the drill
ing operations are in progress
Mr.. Pollen is very confident over the
possibilities of locating oil in this
field and is becoming anxious to have
things pushed along so that drilling
can be commenced. He brought a
gang of experienced men with him
who are also very enthusiastic over
the surface indications in the CoIlyer
field. 1t is estima ated that it will be
at least a week ten days before
operations can be commenced. This
field is so far away from any other
oil district that it is taking a long
time to get the material and outfit col
iected but when it is once opened
there will be a great rush on the
part of all the big companies to get
here and get in on the ground floor
with material and repairing ma
chinery. This will mean that there
will also be an increase in the popu-
iation of this vicinity and demand
for additional hotel and eating house
accomm modations. We understand
that it is the intention of G. r. Pollen
and associates to have a big time on
the day drilling is commenced

The 1. W. w. headquarters in Chica-

issuing weekly bulletins. One of these
bulletins was received by of the
prisoners at the county jail this week.
This bulletin gave information regard
ing the progress of the harvest season,
where and when harvest would com
nence and the wages being paid. The
bulletin also stated that the I. w. w
organization had two attorneys en-
ployed for Kansas and that they can
take care of all the cases which are
pending. The men are advised that
when they are arrested on vagrancy
or other charges that they should not
plead guilty of anything but should
await arrival of council and the regu-
lar terms Of court. From the bulle-
tin it is evident that an attorney will
be here when the wab1y cases are tried
at the September term of court.
