bic organizations. He said: The
army is now providing for the great
majority of the cases hitherto taken
care of by those organizations which
now are out of action, and we must
look to the people who have formerly
divided their support among several
good causes to give more in proper

MISSING MAN MAY
HAVE KILLED SELF
Search for A. C. kobeI is Conducted in
Myrtle Grove Neighborhood.

Search for A. C. Kobel, SIS, who has
been missing since Tuesday night. has
proved unavailing and friends believe
that he has committed suicide, either
by shooting himself in some out of the
way place or by jumping into the
bayou.
Mr.. Kobel, a bachelor, lived alone
near the school house at Myrtle Grove
He has relatives in Oklahoma and 9TH
er states and is a brother of J. K
Kobel. produce dealer, who died about
two years ago.
The missing man was the administra-
tor of his brothers estate and investi-
cation at the office of the county Judge
showed that the accounts were in
proper order. Neither had the missing
man drawn from either of his banking
accounts. This fact makes his friends
feel certain that he did not leave the
state and also convinces them that he
has committed suicide, presumably be-
cause of i'll health.
Search has been conducted for sew
eral miles in each direction from Myr-
tie Grove and the searching parties are
still out.

STRONG De MOLAY ORDER
More Than One Hundred New Mem
beers VIII Be Initiated July 20.

The. Topeka De Molay organization
is strong in comparison to chapters in
other cities, according to Ralph
Glenn, master councillor
Glenn was in Lawrence for the
weekend to look over the work Of the
chapter there. Tho older than the
Topeka chapter. they expect to take
in only! four candidates at their next
initiatory service. Perhaps a little
slow in getting started, the Topeka
get all initial difficulties ironed out
once and for all time. Headway is
really being made now that the organ
ization is on a firm footing. 1t is ex-
pected that the number OF applica-
tions will total over one hundred for
the first initiatory service on July 20.
A special meeting will be held
Tuesday night for the purpose of yEot-
ing on the applications that have
been received since a week ago.
The officers and the initiation
teams are rehearsing every afternoon
in readiness for the work to becpnt
on Friday. the great day in De Molay
for the Topeka chapter.
A standard Jewel for the order has
been adopted by the grand council of
De Molay. Orders have been placed
GERS Of the local chapter. They will
cost about $3.50. ~
A full, set of costumes for the Off
GERS and degree team will be ordered
in the near future for use in the de-
gree work and meetings. This will
equip the organization fully for work.
The costumes will cost several hun
bred dollars. h. ~
A De MolaY orchestra of nine pieces
has been. organized which bids fair to
become one. of the strong musical or
ganizations of the city. 1t will fur
nish all the music for the day of mi
tiation. and little later expects to do
a broader work helping in public en-
tertainments where needed. such as at
the Boys Industrial school and SINH
lar places. A quartet has been or
ganized which among other things is
planning to sing at Ingleside some

staged a. tag" event on the verandas
at the Saturday night .dinner-dance
and collected $106 which boosted the
total for the club to 1853.
More would have been collected at

INCREASE IN P. 0. RECEIPTS
Business for Year Ending juno 80
Was 100000 More Than 1920.

The receipts of the Topeka post
office, for the year ending June 80,
showed an increase of approximately
$4,000 over the year before, it was
announced today by Postmaster w.
Q. Rigby. Each month of the last
fiscal year showed an increase over
THE corresponding month, a year ago,
with the. exception of March and
April. he says.
While this increase is not so large
as it has been in some previous years,
yet 1t shows that the volume of bust
ness Of the office is growing and is
quite remarkable in the face of gen.
eral conditions and the fact that it
is over and above the increase of
more than 100000 which was re-
closed in June, 1920.
According to R!gby a large share
of the increase is due to the parcel
post branch which he says is being
patronized more every day, especially
by wholesale and commission houses
in filling rush orders for customers.
He says this class of business sprang
up during the war because of the con-
gestion In express shipments and that
1t Is growing steadily all the time.
Frequently, the postmaster says, the
office receives for transmission fruits
and vegetables by the truck load
which formerly went by express.
The auto tag business has also in
creased the postoffiee receipts i'm
mensely. -Rigby says, the secretary of
state buying stamps in lots of $4,000
worth at a time to be used in mailing
tags. The stamps are cancelled at
the time they are purchased because
1t is much easier to do the work while
they are together than 1t is after they
have been placed on the packages and
mailed At the present time it is nee
essary to use a special room at the
postoffice for handling the auto tags
and two clerks are kept busy looking
after this class OF work.

explained. LAS a matter of fact. II
the contention is upheld that the south

seeks to make the hills south of the

OUT AFTER TAX DODGERS
Persons Who Forgot to List Property
May Receive Surprise.

Persons who forgot to list all OF
their property when the assessor
called last spring are going to receive
a surprise and Shawnee county is go
ing to be richer In taxaole propeLts
when F. c. Bowen, county assessor
completes an investigation which mas
been going on for several weeks.
The amount of unreported personal
property which Bowen expects TO flho
off the tax rolls probably will run into
several hundred thousand dollars, but
he won't venture a guess on the
amount until the work is completed.
For instance, this forenoon alone
Bowen found $22.S00 worth OF per-
sonal property, in notes ana mort
cages, which should have been report
ed in the spring assessment but Wnlch
for some reason were not included.
Cases of men making statements to
the assessors without listing much val
liable property held in the names OF
their wives, are numerous. the as
SCISSOR saws, thousands of dollars worth
of mortgages, escaping the tax lists In
that manner.
Bowen says he has to date discov-
cred about $50 motor cars that were
not reported by the assessors. In
many of these cases, however. it seems
that one person has applied for the
car license while another, generally
some other member of the same fam
lily, made the property statement 10

Bowen says he is making the In
vestigation as his duty as county as

both county and state mortgages. auto

out how much property of this kind
has not been assessed.

much property go uEassessed. SAID
