TAKE TOO MANY IN KANSAS
State Has Average Of 8 Cars Taken
Each Day

Kansas is apparently in the grip
of an automobile theft epidemic.
The automobile license division OF
the secretary Of states office reports
that an average of about eight motor
cars disappear in Kansas every day.
From 200 to 800 lost and stolen au-
tomobiles are reported there each
month.
The theft wave has continued de-
spite the action Of the 1921 legis-
lature in making larceny Of an au-
tomobile non-parolable offense.
Many stolen automobiles are re-
covered through the secretary OF
states office. A card index is kept
OF all engine numbers. When a car
Is reported as stolen record is
made. If at any time in the future
some one else attempts to take out
a license for the stolen car, an In
vestigation is made followed usual
Nv by an arrest and return Of the
car to the owner. A severe penalty
Ia provided for alteration of engine
numbers.
The bulk of thefts, year In and
out, appear to be the work Of pro-
fessional thieves who drive the auto
mobiles to Kansas City and other
large centers where the cars are al
tered somewhat to disguise them and
sold through established channels.

"UNCLE SAM" is BROKE
Dickinson Investors Had Consider
able Oil Stock In II

Action for a receivership for the
Uncle Sam OH Company was begun
In the United States district court
at Topeka on the ground that the
company Is no longer able to con-
tinue operation owing to the general
decentralization Of the oil business In
the last year. The company asks
that J. G. Morse Of Hutchinson and
w. =. Hackney Of Kansas City, Kan.
be named by the court to take over
the affairs Of the company.
Many Dickinson county investors
bought Uncle Sam stock, thinking 1t
would run Rockefeller out of bust
ness. 1t has paid no dividends for
years. Millions have been sunk In
the company. It's manager, Harry
Tucker. made a spectacular cam
paign for U. s. senator a few years

THEY CAN GO AHEAD NOW
This Weather Isn't Too Wet For
Fall Flowing

Fall blowing is well advanced in
south central Kansas but has been
DELAYED in eastern and northeastern
counties by too much wet weather.
says the August crop report issued
by the state board of agriculture.
In the so-called wheat belt fall
blowing is 60 to 80 per cent finished
while in Franklin county only 35
per cent Of the blowing is reported
as done and but 80 per cent in
Johnson. The percentage completed
in northeastern Kansas is probably
80 to So, but conditions are now
said to be favorable for proceeding
with this work.

FIRST SMASH CAME EARLY
Traffic on South Bridge Makes Tina
Route C0ngested


The First street bridge is now TAX
ing up all the traffic of Third street
as we'll as the tourist travel of the
U. P. highway since the Third street
bridge was closed by the commits
sioners. The first accident occurred
at noon when car passing buggy
on the narrow bridge took wheel
off the slower vehicle. The bridge
has a poor floor and with sharp
turns at both approaches 1t is likely
that more accidents will occur. The
county engineer will make a survey
of the bridge to see If it is safe for
the heavy traffic. For fifteen or
twenty years circus wagons and
other heavy loads have been barred
from it owing to its fiimsiness. If
that, too, is condemned, traffic can
go around by the cemetery and
Country club or south a mile. The
First street bridge is a county |
bridge and the county is responsible
for its condition.

Motor Trip to the West
G. 8. Chase and family of Willow
dale are home, sunburned and well,
from a motor trip to the PACING
coast. They Travelled some 1900
miles since last spring. going over
the Santa Fe Trail to Los Angeles,
then up the coast to Portland and
Seattle, then eastward through Yell
lowstone park and home. 1.-THE
worst road on earth is eastward from
the Park" said Mr.. Chase. 81 don't
know how We got over 1t but we
did. From tht Park to Cheyenne
was the hardest driving we had on
the trip. II there is any other place
you want to see except. the Yellow
stone see 1t first. The road may
some day be Improved but now for
over 100 miles 1t Is something to
wear ones nerves and Is tough on
tires and the car. The park did not
appeal to me-we saw more beauti-
full falls along the Columbia and al
together 1t is SO cluttered up with
tourists and sulphur smell that we
were glad to get out. Maybe we had
too much experience fully to enjoy
it. We had good trip and are glad
we took it."
The 1900 mile trip was made
without any accidents and few re-
pairs to the car. The Rowland fam
lilies who were with them remained
in Washington state an} will 60
back to San Diego for the winter.
Mrs. Harold Rowland has written
several most interesting letters
about the tour for Reflector readers.
