SUGGESTS MERGING OFFICES
State Accountant And State Auditor
Offices Should Be One

Abolition OF the office of state
accountant and merging Of the func-
lions Of that department under the
supervision of the state auditor, are
urged in the biennial report Of Fred
w. Knapp, state auditor.
This Recommendation is not bas-
ed upon any criticism Of the man
ner in which the state accountant
has performed his duties. but is based
simply upon two propositions: First,
a reduction in cost Of obtaining the
same results: and secondly. the plac-
ing of that work where 1t properly
belongs" says the report. Thf
state accountant is asking appro-
priations for the next biennium ag-
gregating $4,000 annually. ] am
satisfied If placed under I'll" control
OF the auditor Of state the work or
checking each department and in
stitntion annually could be accom-
plishcd at half the cost"

previous legislatures have been
appropriating all the way from $25
to $75 to each member for postage
allowance and like amount for tele-
graphing and long distance telephon-
ing" said Mr. Knapp. "There can
be no question but that the mem
hers Of the legislature are entitled
to be reimbursed for their actual ex
penditures for these purposes. The
tendency, however. Of each legisla
ture to increase these allowances is
a dangerous practice and viOlative Of
the prOvisiins of the constitution of

in its effect upon the confidence
which the public in general rcposes

CHURCHES FACE PROBLEMS
DR.. Harmon Draws Many to Revival
Services


Yesterday the attendance doubled
for the afternoon service and DR..
Harmon spoke on Faith" He pitied
the church on account of its doubt
and scepticism. In the evening the
house was well filed and the text
was from Ezekiel 47th chapter
where the angel of the Lord led the
prophet through the river proceeding
from under the threshold Of the
house of God and the question was
"Have you been out where the
waters are deep?" Seven thousand
Protestant churches took in no new
members last year because they
were dappling in shallow waters and
so he plead with the church to get
out into the great ocean of Gods
love
The services will be held every
afternoon at 2:30 and evening at
1870. The Brotherhood Bible class
will attend in body this evening
and there ought to be at least 100
men belonging to that class occupy
ing the center Of the church this
evening. Tomorrow evening the Ep-
worth League will aim to have every
member present. The services be-
gin at $50 sharp, so come as early
as you can and get good seat.

VARIED WEATHER FOR WEEK
Board Of Agriculture Reports Favor
able Farm Conditions

At the beginning of the week thu
weather was very cold. averaging
very close to the zero mark for the
first two nights and cloudy wealth
er prevailed; but later in the week
the days were bright and warm
thawing the ground out considera
bly,. according to the weekly report
OF the State Board Of Agriculture
No snow or rain was reported. The
condition Of the roads in eastern and
central Kansas is generally reported
fair, well travelled highways being in
good condition. Cross roads are very
rough and the thawing during the
latter days Of the week caused them
to be somewhat soft in the after
noon. In the northwest roads are re-
ported as very rough and the alter
nate freezing and thawing of snow
and mud has left them in very poor
condition.
Ground on which wheat has been
sown Is reported in extra good con-
dition, having plenty Of moisture.
The cold weather has caused some
freezing back of the wheat plant but
no permanent damage has resulted.
Wheat pasture is give mas fair to
good In ali sections Of Kansas. Plow-
ing which had been carried on up to
a week ago has now practically
ceased because Of frozen ground.
Corn husking is practically COM
plefed, only very scattered fields vet
TO be harvested. Work in these
neids was performed with difficulty
during the latter part Of the week
because Of soft ground. The grain
sfrghums, which produced wonder
fuly In Kansas this year, are low in
price and in the central part of the
state much will be left in the head
on account Of the poor market and
high cost Of threshing.
Livestock is in good condition. no
mention being made of epidemics.

GIVE MONEY INSTEAD on CORN


t0-Chins Mivemcnt
Congested freight conditions In
China, where transportation facili-
ties are poorly organized at best
has made II necessary for Kansas ia
.toreeo the proposition Of shipping
trainload Of corn to famine strick-
! en- sufferers Of that section, for a
few weeks, DR.. Charles NJ. Sheldon,
director Of the Christian HeraId's
campaign for the Chinese relief fund
said yesterday. Farmers and others
VINO have offered to donate corn are
asked to sell their corn and donate
Its value in money, which will be
used to buy food for the starving
people. Possibly later in the WIN
ter arrangements will be made to
send the trainload Of corn to China.
Doctor Sheldon said.
Food still can be purchased in
Aanchuria, Doctor Sheldon said,
and railway facilities are such
there that 1t can be reshipped to the
principal cities Of China. Arrange
ments have now been made so that
the people can come to the supply
/depots in the cities and receive their
food rations.
In asking the farmers to sell the
corn they would have sent. and
give the money instead, few of them
so far have declined, Doctor Shell
don said. It would have to be haul
ed to the station or to a grain ele-
vator in either case, so no extra
trouble Is entailed.
