case brought by the Farm Mortgage
Trust Company, Topeka, against the
state banking department to compel
it to certify for payment, through the
guaranty fund of a $4,000 deposit GER
fificate held in the Salina State Bank,
which failed. The banking department
holds that the certificate was given
for loan and does not represent cash
deposited in the bank, and, therefore,
cannot be paid through the guarantee
fund.

MEAT SUPPLY IS FALLING OFF
Many Kansas Cattle Raisers Being

Present Uncertain Conditions.

If livestock production continues to

A representative of the Kansas
Livestock Association made a recent
surve. of the cattle situation Of West

pastures in the great cattle country
of Southwest Kansas, containing thou.
sand3 of acres of excellent grass, upon
which there was not a single herd OF
cattle, Mr.. Mercer said
Through the counties in which he
drove he saw less than two hundred
head of cattle, where in years gone
by he would have seen many thou
sands. He saw only a few scattered
punches of cattle, and some. horses
and mules on range, but no sheep. He
met cattlemen by the score who had
either become bankrupt, or. having
become discouraged, had quit the bus
mess because it had become too much
of a hazard due to relatively low and
unstable market prices and rapidly adj

while livestock production has fal

Southwest Kansas" said Mr. Mercer
There is no section in Kansas which
has any better forage crops than are
now growing in Western Kansas coun.

A party of Methodist church mem
bers recently gave a novel surprise
party on Mr.. and Mrs. Edward C. Fox
of Newton, long time members of the
church, at which the feature number
on the program was the burning of a
$500 mortgage on the Fox home. Mr..
Fox and son, the late Charles Fox,
contractors, in 1917 erected the new
Methodist church there, which is
recognized as one of the finest
churches in the state. Advance in
cost of materials and labor resulted
in the contractors losing heavily on
the job and necessitated that Mr.. Fox
put mortgage of $1,000 on his home.
Without the knowledge of Mr.. Fox,
church members recently raised ST.
500-the amount remaining due on the
Fox mortgage-and then held the sur
prise party.

HOG CHOLERA NEAR LAWRENCE
Six Herds Affected Within = Radius
Of Five Miles, County Agent
Smith Reports.

A serious epidemic Of hog cholera
has broken out at Twin Mound, near
Lawrence, according to a recent state
ment by R. o. Smith, county farm
agent, who made an inspection trip
there the other day. About forty hogs
have died from the disease, while one
farmer lost forty young pigs.
Herds of hogs on at least six farms
near Twin Mound are infected with
the hog cholera, Mr.. Smith said. The
Infected area at present is confined
within a five-mile radius of Twin
Mound, but unless the farmers in the
neighbOrhood take every available pre-
caution there is reason to believe the
disease will spread rapidly, he added.
Mr.. Smith suggests that farmers
should have post-mortems, where hogs
are supposed to have died with chol-
era, as in some instances it is alto
gether possible that some other dis
ease is responsible.
When final disposition of the dead
hogs is to be made, care should be
taken to either burn the carcasses or
make deep burial.
D. G. Asher, a farmer southwest of
Lawrence, reports the discovery of a
case of "black-Ieg' in his herd of cat
tie. Mr.. Smith will give a vaccination
demonstration on Asher's farm as
soon as the serum arrives.
: The mystery surrounding the poi
soning of H. H. Hawk, a farmer CT
Saline County, and his 12-year-old son,
Harold, when they ate oatmeal for
breakfast, remains unsolved. The boy
practically has recovered. Mr.. Hawk
is much better and probably will re-
cover. Part of the same package Of
oatmeal had been served the entire
family before without harmful effects.
Physicians declare all the symptoms
of the man and son were of strychnine
poisoning. and it is believed the poi
son had been placed in the package
in the night. The dogs on the farm,
it is said, made an unusual noise early
in the morning and strange footprints
in the dooryard were observed by the
family later Mrs. Hawk says the fam
lily has no enemies she knows of, but
is of the opinion that unwelcome Wis
itors Friday night must have placed
the poison in the food This opinion
also is shared by neighbors. Officers
are still investigating.

Tiger Quintet DOJUn

Game With En,-ROes
NeLC Talent RuSIteS Old for
Positions on Coach BuSs'
Team.

GREENCASTLE. Ind, Dec. 9.-De
Psuw's basket ball squad is practicing
hard for its opening game Of the season
with the fast En- Roe team of Indian
spolis Friday night. The contest will be
played here and is expected to be one
of the hest of the early season games.
Captain GipsOn and Mendenhall. who
recently laid aside football toys for the
uniform of the court, are taking long
workouts under the direction of Coach
Buss In an attempt to eliminate stiffness
and soreness that resulted from grid
iron clashes. 1t is thought that they will
be in trim for the opening contest.
GIL. n lanky man from the East Ham,
mond High School, and Mendenhall seem
70 be the most promising candidates for
the center position. The Tigers pivot
position was left vacant by the failure
Of Curtis. last years center, TO return
TO De PAW. Mendenhall is a faster
forward than center, but he played at
the pivot position during his high school
days and IN an emergency may be SHIFT
ed to that position. Captain Gipson and
Cannon. last years captain, seem to be
the only men that are sure Of the posi-
lions they Will play.
Among the new men on the squad this
year Krumheuer, White, Adams and
Laughlin show most promise. White OF
Franklin probably viii fill one Of the
forward positions. Cannon VIII fill the
other GIBSON viii play at his old posi-
ton Of floor guard. The new men not
included in the first lineup VIII furnish
Coach Brss with some excellent material
for Substitutions.
Kepner. a substitute on last seasons
squad. and Tiny Hirt. a freshman, are
candidates for the back guard position,
which is worrying Buss at present. KEEP
ner has the advantage Of one year Of
college experience, but Hirt shows good
form and played with the Gueencastle
High School five for three years.
