 Where Buffalo
 Once Were Many

Burton, Kans., Jan. IT, Fifty years ago this month G. w. Gage !. l. Franklin and John Blade, the first settlers of this town, estab- lished their homes here. The town however, was not started until 1873 the first building erected being a blacksmith shop built by A. w. Bal lard. J. H. Grisham opened the first store, just east of the present townsite, and Hunt and Moore opened the first store on the town site. The first home in Burton was erected by Dr. J. l.. McAfee in 1874
 With the advent of the Santa Fe railroad which was built across liar vey county in 1871. many settlers came. This part of the state then was great buffalo pasture. The country between the two Arkansar rivers--the main stream and what is known as the Little Arkansas--was q favorite feeding grounds ana range for the immense herds of the prai. rie bovine species. Early settlers say that frequently in those days, the prairie from Little River. the present site of Halstead, to the pres ent site of Hutchinson, was almost continuous stretch of buffalo herds. They vanished rapidly. how ever The last buffalo killed in this region. the pioneers say, was shot near Halstead in 1875.

800 REVOLUTION|STS TRAPPED IN REVOLT
 WERE PUT TO DEATH
No Trials. No Hearings; They Merely Were
 Shot

Shanghai, Jan. 17.-Nearly all of the 800 revolutionarics trapped by the forces of the All Russian gov. ernment in the attempted revolt T, Viadivostock on November Is were killed. according to General Rudolph Gaida, the CZecho- -Slovak command CT, who acted as military leader of the insurgents. General Gaida came to Shanghai after he and his forces were captured when the rebellion failed.
 Two hundred of the revolutions ares were killed in fighting" he said. Three hundred of them were marched out like cattle and shot. NO trials, no hearing. They were driven before the firing squads"
 General Gaida said the real lead CTS of the abortive revolution were Ivan Alexanderovitch Takussheff, president of the Siberian Duma be- rore Admiral Kolchak was given the title of supreme ruler, and Colonel Arkadi Antovich Krakovetchi, who was vice-minister of the constituent assembly that was formed last year.
 sympathized with them," con tinued General Gaida "I promised them to take the position of com mander-in-chief of the Russian army if their efforts to overthrow the Kolchak regime succeeded" De- scribing the one-day revolution and its failure, General Gaida told how the revolutionaries assembled in the railway station at Vladivostok but were fired upon by troops of the All Russian government from the hills around the city.
 When we tried to fight our way out of the railway station,' said General Gaida, Eve encountered lines of Japanese troops drawn up with bayonets fixed. We had to go back.
 That night cordon of Allied troops, two battalions of Americans and even large force of Czechs. was drawn about the yards. They would not let us through and we would not fire in any way that might endanger the Allied forces surrounding us.
 "Guns from the hillsides opened on us that night and Russian war ships in the harbor began to drop shells into the circle where 500 of us were confined.
 1t lasted all night. Two hundred dead and mortallv wounded lay where they fell. The next morninr those of us who were left were per mitted to surrender. They killed them all.'
 The Allied authorities at Vladi- vostock hold that as Czech citizens General Gaida and his staff were not amendable to Russian laws They escaped death by promising the Kolchak commander at Vladi- vostock to leave the country att once.

Little Rock, Jan. 17.-Profiteer landlords will be held to the straight and narrow path in pay ing their income taxes this spring For the tenants are doing the driv- ing and holding the whip.

 The information returns now due covering payments of salaries, wages, rent. interest, and other income serve as useful data for running down tax dodgers and for checking up millions of returns to see that proper tax is paid
 Large business houses have been making these information reports for several years and have co-operated whole-heartedly with the checking system. The same obligation rests on smaller businesses, and on professional men; also on persons and organizations who employ secretaries, chauffeurs, servants, or persons in any capacity.

 Waltz, 48 measures to minute.
 1.-TWO step, 54 measures to minute
 "One-step, 66 measures to minute
 Fox trot, 40 measures to minute.
 Dancers should assume light, graceful position" say the masters. "There should be no jerky half-steps, for these cause undesrabl varia- tions. Partners should pot dance with cheeks close or touching nor should the clasp be tight. Neck holds are positively objectionable. The gentleman's arm should encir- cle his partners waist, his hand resting lightly just above the waist line The lady's left arm should not encircle her partners shoulders or neck.
 "Steps or movements that can not be controlled should not be taught by dancing teachers. Short side steps, first right, then left, when done continuously, are not conclus- i've to refined dancing and should not be permitted, 'Shimmy dancing q shaking or jerking of the upper part of the body while taking short steps are standing still, should nat be tolerated.
 "The proper dancing step should be the same as a natural walking one except in exhibition dancing, which properly belongs to the stage, not the ballroom. Exceptionally long or short steps are not in good form.
 Dancing should be from the waist down, not from the waist up Copying of the extremes used on the modern stage is in bad taste. that the majority of dancers desire to dance according to the best accepted standards, that is, the slightest trace of of fense to dignity or decorum.

ROAD
BUILDING
FUNDS FOR PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
Sum of $s7 900, 900 Will Be Divided
Among States in Proportion
to Population.

'The last apportionment of federal
funds to the state in road construc-
ton under the existing federal-aid act
became available July L." said Mr.
Mcdonald, chief of the bureau of pub
lie roads.
This is the largest apportionment
yet certified under the Federal aid act,
amounting to $100,000,000, three-quar-
tiers of which is derived from the APP
preparation of 1919 and $25.0OO,OOO
from the original appropriation of
1916. A deduction of 100000, or 3
per cent of the funds, will be made
to provide for the expense of admin
istering the federal aid act by the
Department of Agriculture. The bal
ance of $97,OO0,0O0 will be divided
among the states in proportion to their
population, area, and mileage of post
roads.
"Under the law the states are re-
CURED to enter into formal agreements
with the secretary of agriculture for
the construction upon which this mon
ey is to be used before July 1, 1922.
Any money which is not taken up be-
fore that time will be reappOrtioned

ment may reach $3.50, 900. In other
words, it will be necessary to plan
for construction at the rate of at least
$10OO00.00O and probably more per
year. Some appreciation of what that
means may be CLEANED from the fact
that in 1915 the expenditure for all
roads i'm the United States, construct
ed under state supervision, was only
$SO,0OOOOO.
