MANY STORIES WERE TOLD
But Local Veterans Were Interested
In Joe Simpich

Numerous experiences during their
sojourn overseas two years ago were
recalled by the boys Of. the 36th d.
vision as they stood about in little
groups and rejuvenated their army
pArlance during the division reunion
ut Topeka, according to local men
who have returned. There were stor'
les that elected laughter and there
were others when buddy with an
empty coat sleeve, an artificial leg
or other evidence that the soldier
came back wearing a wound stripe
was urged to tell his story.
One Of the heroes present whose
story interested local veterans, was
Joe Simpich Of Kansas City Of the
139th infantry. He was particularly
anxious to learn II Lieut.. ]. w. Nc
Manigal, formerly OF Hiawatha, had
registered. Simpich survived the
s.late unpleasantness" minus a leg,
amputated In German hospital
after he had been shot and taken a
prisoner Of war. He and McMani-
'gal had been wounded in the same
battle and shortly afterwards dis
covered each other on the battle
field near Exerment. MECHANICAL
had been shot twice through the
lungs. The Germans retoOk the To-
cality in which the wounded men
lay and carried MECHANICAL away
with them. Simpich at the time
had concealed himself In small
shed. MECHANICAL was discovered
while going to nearby /stream for
water for which both men were al
most famished, having laid helpless
for two days When MECHANICAL at
tempted to throw the canteen OF
water into the shed, a German SOL
der struck him unconscious with the
butt Of a pistol. 1t was three days
later that the Germans found Sim
pich and took him to hospital.
Simpich is now student In the
University Of Missouri. MECHANICAL
was unable to come to the reunion.
He is now on a homestead In Wyo-
ming. When volunteers first were
called for McManigal came to Abb
lene and helped recruit II company.

MUST CUT HIGH HEDGES
Safety Law Should Be Enforced II
Kansas Markham Says


High hedge fences, tall fields and
reckless driving are given as the
chief causes Of railroad grade cross
ing accidents by w. c. Markham, Sec
rotary Of the State Highway Commits
sion. The toll in Kansas for the last
ten weeks was twenty-one killed and
twenty-five severely injured, accord
ing to a compilation from newspaper
clippings which probably is incom-
plete.
Enforcement by the counties Of the
state law which provides that crops
and hedges higher than four feet shall
not be allowed within 200 feet Of
railroad crossings would eliminate
many accidents.
AS the law now stands governing
issuance Of licenses to drive automO-
biles, anyone fourteen years old can
obtain one. 1t should be amended
so that no person will be permitted
to drive on highway with an auto
mobile until he has passed rigid ex-
animation as to his skill and personal
character by duly constituted board,
Mr.. Markham believes.
"Of course, regardless Of all pre-
cautions which can be taken, we will
always have with us drivers who re-
fuse to stop. look and listen before
crossing a railroad track. However,
with proper regulations the number
of fatal accidents can be greatly d.

FARM FOR EVERY Ills PERSONS
That's the Proportion Of Kansas
Farms to Population

II the entire population Of Kansas
devoted itself to agricultural pursuits
there would be a farm for every
11.15 persons. The farm survey re-
mort lust issued by J. G. Mohler.
secretary OF agriculture, gives the
total number Of farms In the state
as $4,000 and the number OF per-
sons per farm Is estimated on a ba-
sis Of state population OF 100000.
However the tendency Of Kansas
population, as shown by the report
on population issued three weeks ago
by the board OF agriculture, is away
from the farm-cityward rather than
"back to the SOIL" Contingent on
this situation It is interesting to note
that the farm tenantry report just
issued shows that there are fewer
farms in Kansas now than there
were ten years ago. Meanwhile,
however, the size Of the average
farm has increased, from 240.7 acres
in 1890 and PA in 1900 to 263.S In
1920.
While on the whole farm tenantry
has increased from 1873 per cent OF
the number Of farmers in 1880 to
37.8 per cent In 1920, yet the situa-
ton has been at nearly standstill
for the last ten years, having In
creased but 8 Of one per cent IN
that time, and but "a per cent In
twenty years. The report shows an
increase Of about ten per cent In
thirty years.
