CAN'T SET DATE UNTIL LATER
Tissse For Opening Of School Depends
On BS-MOuthfy Exams.

Miss Mary Il. Woolverton, county
superintendent. stated today that the
date for the opening of school this
fall probably will be determined
later than usual this year because
the date for the bi-monthly examin-
alton has not yet been decided, ac-
cording to letter received from the
office Of the state superintendent.
The bi-monthly examinations are ex-
pected to be given eight weeks after
the beginning Of school and the
county officials usually arrange their
opening date to conform to the date
Of the examinations
As rule Miss Woolverton said,
the date Of the examinations is de-
cided by July I and the time for
the opening Of school announced
short time later. The letter from
the state superintendent indicated
that the fine for sending out the bi-
monthly examinations would be de-
eided soon and that schools starting
the first or second Monday in Sept
ember probably would be in session
about eight weeks before the ex-
aminations and would have covered
the work necessary before taking
them.
The letter also stated that the |
price lists for the new text books
were not ready but would be dis
fributed by the state text book COM
mission in week or two.

WATCH YOUR MOTOR LIGHTS
WHEN OUTSIDE OF TOWN

An Abilene mOtOrist was arrested
the other day for driving with
bright lights at Salina. He was used
to doing it at Abilene and thought
it was all right. Motorists who go
to Junction City. Salina or Topeka
should be careful-those and prac-
tically all towns arrest drivers who
use clear lenses or drive with muf-
f1ers open Abilene is one of the few
places where both are allowed. The
Topeka rule is: Headlights must
have ground or etched lenses, or such
diffused lenses as are subject to the
approval of the Chief of Police of
Topeka. Bright lights are absolute
ly prohibited"

BIGGEST CROPS FOR YEARS.

Early Settlers Say Kansas Has
Never Had Such a Year.
People who have been here since
the early 70's say Kansas never
has had such year for crops as this
one, in their recollection. One man
who has kept track Of crops In Kan
sas since about 1874 said this was
the first year when he could remem-
Der that the state has had wheat,
corn, oats, hay and garden crops all
In such abundance the same year.
The weather was ideal for develop
ment and harvesting Of the wheat
the state over and the rain now has
practically assured a bumper corn
crop.
