HEARD KANSAS NEEDED RIG


A letter addressed to "Some Mer-
chant" Abilene, Kansas, was deliv-
cred to O. Edwards Of the Kansas
Cash Stores and developed to be
from an Arkansas rice grower. He
had believed a rumor that Kansas
was suffering from a rice famine and
the following letter was the result
"Have been informed by citizen
Of your city about shortage OF rice
He said that two pounds a week Is
all one family could buy. Am rice
farmer myself and have 5000 bush
els Of same at this time and can get
no offer, mills claiming there Is no
sale for rice. Rice can be bought
here for e1s cents a pound direct
from farmer. Please write and state
condition and what chances would be
to sell some, any amount"
Mr.. Edwards says rice is plentiful
everywhere so far as he knows but
the stores are accustomed to selling
It in packages Of two pounds for
25 cents az that is the quantity for
which the average customer asks.

SANTA FEE TRAIL MEETING
Discuss Hard Surfacing In Herring
ton Annual Meeting


Hard. surfacing Of the Old Santa
Fe Trail as the first complete high
way traversing the state from east
to west was the goal set up In Her
ington yesterday at the annual
meeting Of the Kansas Old Trails
| Road Association.
w. G.. Markham, secretary or the
Kansas Highway Commission, was
one of the principal speakers. He
said that more mileage on the Old
Santa Fe Trail had already been
contracted for or projects approved
by the counties than any other trail
i'm the state. Eleven Of the seven
teen counties crossed by the trail
have made progress toward hard
surfacing, he said. Contracts for the
total mileage have been let by Bar
ton. Dickinson and F1nney, while
in Rice. Hamilton. johnson, Kear-
ney, Douglas. Morris. Ford and
Gray counties either contracts have
been let for portions, bonds voted or
projects approved by county COM
missioners.
In only two counties crossed by
the trail-Osage and McPherson---
has strong opposition appeared to
the road building pnogram. Mark
ham said. He explained how state
aid which probably will be provided
under the good roads amendment to
the constitution will give an impet-
us to the plan.

HAVE DONE RUSHING BUSINESS
"Drv" Enforcement Officers Have
Found 700 Stills

Seven hundred whiskey stills a'd
$50 900 worth of whiskey have
been seized by the federal prohibition
enforcement staff in Kansas during
the first ten months of its operations.
In describing the activities of the
prohibition agents and inspectors
Dudley Doolittle, prohibition enforce
ment directors for Kansas, whose
headquarters are in his home town,
Strong City, points out that 1t Is the
policy of the department to cooper
ate with county and municipal OIL
Gals as much as possible, and 70
prosecute under the state laws where
evidence is considered sufficient to
warrant conviction. However there
ia one loophole in the Kansas "bone
dry" law, due to the fact that
"moonshining'' was not recognized
, 'industry" In Kansas when the law
was enacted. In this regard Mr..
DoOlittIe said:
"In a very large percent OF the
cases where still are captured none
Of the mash or the distilate can be
found. 1t is the custom OF the
moonshiners to dispose OF their pro-
duct as fast as made. Cases where
no mash or distillate is found must
be brought in the federal court be-
cause strange as it may seem, there
is no criminal statute In the state
of Kansas against the mere pos
session Of a still. The next legisla-
ture may be requested to remedy this
defect in our Kansas prohibition star
