Just How Ii Happened

The Topeka Capital explains just
what happened when Sim Barrier was
fatally hurt at Clay Center. Ut says:
Observers at football games are not
always certain of what actually takes
place on the field. Neither sare the
officials and players, for that mat
ter. We do believe that officials are
correct most Of the time, and for the
purpose Of exOnerating BARRIERS oppo-
nents-the Clay Center beam-we
give this extract from letter OF
Frank L. Myers, of the Kansas State
Agricultural College, who unpired the
contest:
81 umpired this game sand was
close to the play when nhrber was
tackled. Two Clay Center men at
tempted to stop him on u long run,
but only one was successful. He
tackled Barber cleanly aSbout the
hips, slightly from the rear, and In
falling Barber was turned so that he
fell on his back and turned a back
ward somersault with the tackler on
top. AS nearby as l cSnld tell MS
head was bent forward 'on his breast
with the weight of both dis own and
the tackler's body tending to cause
the injury"

QUALITY COUNTS IN CARS


presIdent General Motors Says Obs.
nusbiIe Bettsr Than Ever
..There has been decided improve
meut in Oldsmobile cars In the past
.,x months" said Pierre Dupont,
nresident OF the General Motors Com
nany. at a luncheon In Detroit this
week. He had inspected the Odds
plant and complfnented Its eff.
cheney. 1--WE executives know this
Improvement" he added. you fac
tory employees are realizing 1t. Our
customers will be the last to know It.
The real quality that is going nov
into Oldsmobile products will not be
appreciated by the customers for
some time. But they will sole day
realize, as their cars grow older, that
there was III change In quality In
1891.
This question Of improved quail
.ity is Of vital importance. Ii Tor NO
other reason than to increase our
tyade In values. The Oldsmobile that
sis traded In to the dealer for a new
gar must not be ready for the scrap
heap-that is the office Of the cheap
,car and not the car in the Oadsmobile
class. Oldsmobiles must be mace
hencefofth so that their real value
will be appreciated five years after
date Of purchase"
II believe" he declared, that
this winter and next sprisg will see
big happenings in the industrial
world and particularly In the automO-
tive world. The Oldsmebile will play
an increasingly important part In this
activity"
Mr.. Dupont expressed himself as
optimistic on the industrial situation
and declared that higher prices Tor
cars is likely next season, asserting
that the prices are now too low for
the high quality going into them. ITO
speed industry and get it back on
firm and normal basis many commod-
tiles must rise in price"

Obitury-Mrs. Sarah DeMoney

UUIC08fy-Nnbs SdI dH DCNbV"Sy
Mrs. Sarah Bowen DeMOney was
born in Henderson county. Illinois,
November 81, 1916, where she spent
her childhood days and on Nov. IA,
1867 was married to J. H. DeMoney.
In 1875 fhey moved to Dickinson
county and settled Oh a farm south
Of Abilene, To this union were born
six children, George DeMoney of En-
terprise, Kansas. A. j. DeMOney Of
LeavvnwOrfh, Kansas, Ed DeMOney.
Mrs. VIM. Haag. Mrs. Norton, Mrs.
VIM. Sparks. of Kansas City, Mo.
Ten grandchildren and four great
grandchildren. All were with her at
the time OF her death.
Mrs. DeMoney has lived in Kansas
City for the last few years with her
children and died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Chas. Norton on Nov.
10, 1921 and was laid to rest beside
her husband who died in 1913. She
also leaves five sisters and four broth
ers. She was the first to break the
link of ten children.
Let us. if possible, gather up the
elements of the life of the departed
one and weave of them a picture for
the walls Of memory. The book OF
life was opened and new name was
written Therein by the hand Of love,
Her life was a rare jewel, her spirit
as gold retained in fire ready for
heaven. These flowers and emblems
of love, but God hath bid her well
come to that mansion which He him
self has prepared. where are the songs
of the redeemed.
She ran the journey of her life in
"A years. 1t was path marked by
deeds of Kindness and cheer. For the
of earth she now enjoys the
never ending Sabbath Of heaven. She
waits your coming and watches near
the gate. Vain IL any attempt to
measure the loss of a mother; after
all the poets have sung and lovers
dreamed, outside of heaven there Is
no love like mothers love. Much
has been taken from these lonely
and a large circle of relatives
and friends
The last services were held at the
home of her daughter, 2015 Monroe
Avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Burial
was in Mt. Washington cemetery.
Songs were touchingly rendered by
members OF the church. Six Of her
nephews acted as pallbearers. The
flowers were many and beautiful, but
not more beautiful than the face that
rested SO peacefully among them The
deepest sympathy Of a wide circle OF
friends and relatives Us extended to
the sOrrowing children who are left
to mourn the loss Of their moth

CHOOSE FURE soaoHuM SEED
X. S. A. G. Experts Have Inspected
5000 Bushels of Grain

Nearly 5000 bushels OF sorghum
grain. especially adapted to Kansas
conditions, was inspected for pure
seed by the Kansas Crop Improve
ment Association this fall.
The compiling Of the names OF
farmers having the supply Of inspect
ed seed has just been completed by. s.
c. Salmon, professor Of farm crops in
the Kansas state Agricultural College
and secretary Of the association. The
list Is available to farmers.
The Inspection Of crops Of all var
ieties especially adapted to Kansas
was inaugurated by the Kansas Crop
Improvement Association In 1919
when Kanred wheat was introduced
to farmers of the wheat belt by the
Kansas State Agricultural College.
Inspections were carried on for the
Kanred crop Of 1920 and 1921. In
spection for the sorghums was con-
Quoted last fall for the first time.
Kanota oats, which, according TO
official college reports. yields better
than any variety commonly grown in
the state, also has been included in
the inspection conducted by the 1850
citation for the purpose Of keeping a
supply of pure seed available.
Seven varieties Of sorghums are
recommended by the agricultural col
lege for Kansas conditions. The
sweet sorghums are the Kansas
Orange and Red Amber. Both var
ieties are recommended to be ;grown
as forage crops. Kansas Orange does
well in all parts OF the state except
the extreme western part. Red Amber
whic his an earlier sort, Is primarily
a western Kansas sorghum.
