Floated Down the Smoky

A trip of more than five hundred
miles downstream in canoe was
made by three sOphomores Of the
University of Kansas in going to
school this year to resume their stud
les. The tire are Eugene Clark,
Arvel Buenning and Decaur Rees.
The boys loaded up their canoe
with baggage and provisions and
started from Minneapolis on the Solo
mon river. This river joins the
Smoky Hill at Solomon which in turn
flows into the Kaw. 1t took five and
a half days to make the trip. In
"voyaging" through Manhattan the
boys say they created something of
a sensation by giving the K. U. yell.

ANOTHER POST LAID LOW
Identity of Destructive Motorist Is
Not Known

Another lamp post was knocked
over Sunday night by careless mo-
tOrist. The post, which stood on
Third and Broadway In front of the
Farmers National bank, crashed into
the mail box as 1t fell, knocking that
over also. The lights were shattered
and the pillar cracked In three places.
So far authorities have been unable
to locate the driver who is RESPONSE
BILE but they are Of the opinion that
his car is probably in about as bad
shape as the lamp post. This Is the
third big post to be knocked over In
as many months and the tenth since
they were put up. 1t costs the city
$50 every time one Is knocked over.
Two have been paid for.

PROVIDE HOMES FOR FARMERS
Amendment To Be Voted On at Gem
era1 Election

An amendment to the Kansas
state constitution making possible
the purchase Of farm homes by farm
ers in Kansas through loans from the
state will be voted on Mt the general
election on November .. The amend
ment is one of three submitted by the
1919 legislature. The others call for
state aid for county highway con-
struction and Redistribution of prop
erty for taxation.
These amendments have become an
important issue in the election. In
campaign throughout the state Gov.
II. J. Allen, who is running on the
Republican ticket for reelection, has
urged support for all three, but en-
phasized especially the 'anti-ten-
antry" amendment. Originally the
three amendments were "planks" in
his message to the 1919 legislature.
The Democratic state platform oppos-
ed the three amendments on the
ground that their enactment would
mean increased taxes.
