COOLEST WEEK IN HISTORY
Never Before Has Kansas Had Cold
Weather So Soon

The week ending November 16 was
one of the coolest Kansas has ever
experienced so early in the season,
according to reports from 100 CORE
spondents of the weather bureau,
who reported temperatures as low as
1 to 4 degrees in the northwestern
part Of the state and around IA de-
grees in the eastern part Of the
state. A blanket Of snow fell in the
southwestern counties, with fiurries
in other parts. No measurable pre-
cipitation was reported in the north
ern half of the state.
Wheat is reported in good condi-
ton in all parts Of the state except in
the southwest, where the dry wealth
er last fall has prevented proper
growth. Some wheat in this part Of
the state is not up yet. Elsewhere
wheat is going into winter in good
shape with plenty Of moisture in the
ground.
The ground was too wet In many
parts of the state for cribbing corn.
Not more than 25 per cent Of this
work is reported finished.
From IS to 80 per cent Of the
sorghums are threshed, and in some
parts Of the state 1t has not even
started. Fall pastures are good in
the eastern part Of the state, but in
the central and western part Of the
state they are reported from fair TO
moor.

WHAT ABOUT WHEAT PRICES;
Kansas City Grain Dealer Gives Hi
Views

F. G. Crowell, a prominent grain
man of Kansas City, NO., and a
member of the Hall Baker Grain Co.,
has written as follows to local in
quirer for his views on the future
price of wheat: "In reference to
wheat values. we are as much at sea
regarding them as you are; and the
only thing that will make wnear go
higher is in case of the failure of
the Argentine and Australian crop.
This crop, as you know, is marketed
in January. In these countries 1t is
now the same as 1t is in Kansas the
first Of June, and their wheat is in
excellent condition now. If this crop
through in good condition,
wheat might drop so cents per bush
Ell or more. II anything should hap
pen to the crop SO that they would
have a failure. our wheat might go
higher; but it will take a very bad
in Argentine and Austria
LA to hold wheat at even present
values because they have such an
enormous acreage in both Of those
The condition Of their
wheat crop in those countries at pres
ent is about the same as 1t was in

PORTER FOILED HOLD-UP MAN
Bandits Put to Flight by Member Of
Union Pacific Crew

The quick action of Dave Turner
porter on Union Pacific train No
1O4, due in Abilene at 1900 p. m
prevented hold-up Of the train six
miles east of Denver last night. The
porter had been lined up with other
trainmen after the train had been
tagged to a stop by the robbers, but
when the bandits headed for the mail
car he lodged under coach, obtained
rife and began firing. The ban
dts fed.
One Of the bandits Is believed to
have been wounded. They escaped
in a motor car, which was waiting
near the siding.
In the meantime Rock Island
train No. @, bound for Kansas City
and Chicago, over the same tracks,
came up behind. A fagman stop
ped the train in time to avert col
lision. The Rock Island trains rear
coaches were derailed as 1t passed
the Sandow switch. Railroad off,
cials believe the switch was pulled
while the train was passing over 1t.

LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY PICKS UP

Mohler Says
The livestock industry in Kansas
which has been reported to be great
ly diminished, is taking on new life
according to the latest weekly croI
report by ]. G. Mohler, secretary OF
the State Board of Agriculture.
Livestock is being shipped in sat
isfactory numbers for feeding pur-
poses and in the southwest many
ranchmen are looking for wheat pas
lures for their animals as there seems
to be shortage in that section" the
report says. "The hog cholera sit
uation continues to improve and onlv
five counties make mention Of this
disease within their borders this

"Corn husking is in full progress
and all counties in the eastern and
northern sections report good yields.
In the eastern and few Of the GEN.
trail counties It is estimated that so
per cent has already been husked,
but shortage of labor in many
localities is holding back the harvest.
Very little grain or hay is moving
on account Of the low market prices
at this time.
"Growing wheat is in good condi-

being done. The cold weather has

NEEDED MORE BALE TIES
But Now Shortage is Over And Hay
Can Be Shipped


The shortage of bale ties which
has delayed shipment Of Kansas hay
to the market is now Of the past, &C.
cording to information received by
the Kansas State Farm Bureau.
"There is much more hay in stacks
in Kansas at the present time than
ever has been at this time Of the
year." said Charles r. Weeks, Sec
rotary Of the farm bureau. when
the first of the hay was cut this year,
not more than 10 per cent Of the ties
needed were available. The Kansas
State Farm Bureau has had a large
number of inquiries for baled hay
but has been unable to sight pros
pective buyers to farmers with a
supply Of hay because there were not
enough ties to permit them to bale 1t
so as to make shipping possible"
The bureau has sent out a notice
to all county agricultural agents, CIV
ing them the address Of the whole
sale hardware companies which now
have stock on hand. In order that
they may order ties for the farmers
In their counties.

Bread Prices In Decline In Salina--
Some Change Here

Bread prices dropped In Salina
this morning. when one bakery made
the standard price Of 20 ounce Loaf
Of bread at IS cents, or two loaves
for % cents. Other bakers added
two ounces to the loaf, increasing
the. weight from 10 ounces to 81

REFUSED DECISION IN CASE
Judge r. L. King Says He Has No
Right to Grant Divorce

Whether the Geary county district
court has jurisdiction in granting
divorces to army people residing at
Fort Riley probably will be determin-
ed in a test case to be filed in the
supreme court. following a ruling by
Judge r. L. King today in the case
Of an army officers wife who wished
a divorce from her husband and was
denied decree by the Judge, who
ruled that the case was out of his
jurisdiction. The question of wheth-
er military man or his family lose
residence in their home towns when
stationed in an army post elsewhere
enters into the case. he says.

Daniel faced the lions. But Miss
Myrtle Shane, o Massachusetts, ave.
