NO PLACE TO HOLD 1T.


But Grade School Graduates VIII
Have Commencement Somewhere
Miss Mary Z. Woolverton, county
superintendent, is In a tight place.
She has promised the grade school
graduates in the county that they
are to have commencement exercises,
and so they shall she says. but where
and when they can be held she cam
not tell.
Miss WOOlverton had planned to
have the commencement In Abilene
but when she attempted to secure an
auditorium Of suitable size she was
unable to arrange for one and the
court house which probably would
be available would little more than
accommodate the one hundred seven
ty-six graduates. She is making
further efforts to engage a large
enough place in Abilene and II those
are unsuccessful she will be obliged
to divide the county into four Sec
lions and hold the exercises on SEN
arate nights at different places.
No speaker has been secured for
the occasion as the date cannot be
set until the arrangements are COM
pleted for the auditorium.

HAVE l3S,oOo,oOO BUSHELS.
Kansas Crop May Be Bigger Than
Estimate For 1920.


Estimate For 1920.
Instead Of a 110,000.00O bushel
wheat crop, Kansas may harvest
135,00O,0O0 bushels this year, ac-
cOrding to estimates being received
by Judge Clyde NJ Reed, of the in.
dustrial court. Reed is getting week
ly reports now from the railroads.
and informal reports from grain and
elevator men almost daily.
"In trying to solve the transpor-
tation problem" Reed said yester-
day. I'VE are figuring on a 135,00O,-
900 bushel wheat crop. OF course
this Is not given as an assured fact,
but from the way things are going,
1t looks at this time like a proba-
bility." sc
The May estimate from j. G. MOh-
Ter, secretary of the state board of
health, called for 110,00O,000 bush
els. In the June report Mohler re-
ported that the acreage actually was
1 100000 more than had been esti-
mated, but the condition was not so
strong in June as in May-110,000
900 is still a reasonable estimate. On
the other hand, there has been little
done generally to the wheat
In the last month Hessian fly,

pers may hurt the crop, but so far

read about Doan's Kidney Pills and

gradually gave me back my health.
MY back became easier and my kid

better all around"
Permanent Benefit
On June 20, 1919 Mrs. sauer
added: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured
the kidney trouble and the cure has
been permanent, sometimes use

members on later date. II was
decided to make no permanent organ

cured. 1t was thought best to de-
fer permanent organization until al,
subscriptions were In, and each sub
scriber may have voice In naming
the management. 1t was also decid-
ed to recommend that the board Of
directors should consist Of fifteen |
members out OF which number a |
smaller number, probably FIVE, should |
act as an executive committee.

chase tract OF ground approximate

rated by most pitchers as the most
