Christmas Mails the
Heaviest in Many Years

Postmaster w. p. Cassidy states
that the income and outgo of Christ
mas packages at the postoffice this
year was the largest since he has
been in office. On occasions the en-
tire floor of the postoffice was COW
cred, with only narrow alleyways for
the clerks to get around in. Trucks
and autos both were used to transfer
the Christmas glad things to their

COLD FRAME AND HOT
BED CONSTRUCTION
Some Timely Information of In
terest to Truckers-How to
Prepare Seed Beds.

The A. & M. College Extension De-
partment has sent out the following
data relative to constructing hot beds
and cold frames which will be of val.
ue to anyone not familiarw ith the
work.
HOT BEDS
Hotbeds are used for starting ten
der plants at an earlier date than
they could be planted in the open.
They should be located on a well
drained spot, preferably on a South
ern slope and if possible where they
will be shielded from cold winds from
the North and West by buildings,
trees, etc. The slope Of the hot bed
itself should be from north to South
and the length of the bed should ex-
tend from East to West.
Hot beds are commonly heated
with fresh horse manure mixed with
straw, leaves or similar material and
may be constructed in the following
manner dig pit about eighteen inch
es deep, Put layer of dry leaves
or pine needles in bottom of pit,
making the layer about two or three
inches thick. Next put in the mix
ture of manure and litter and pack
we'll. A sufficient quantity Of ma
nure should be used to make layer
from nine to twelve inches deep af-
ter having been packed. In order
to facilitate fermentation or heat,
pile the manure mixture in a pile
from "a to 4S hours before using it
in the pit. Arrange frame to fit
just inside the pit and place on top
of the layer of manure. The back
wall, or North side Of the frame
should extend twelve inches above
the level of the soil on the outside
of the hotbed, the front wall or
South side should extend about six
inches above the level Of the outside
soil. Throw some dirt up against
the frame on the outside, forming
little embankment which serves to
keep out the cold and to drain wa
ter away wrom the bed. Put on
top of manure inside ow the frame a
four inch layer of good garden soil
for seed bed. The seed bed should
be level and firm. Practice seed bed
sterilization whenever there is dan
ger of loss from damping off fun
gus diseases. Cover hotbed with
sash. After completion allow bed to
stand about two days before sowing
seed so that the heat produced by
the first rapid fermentation may be
uniformly distributed. After the
seed have been planted, close atten-
tion should be given to the watering
and ventilation of bed.
The soil should never be allowed
to dry out, but should not be kept
water-soaked. Water should be ap-
piled early enough in the day to al
low plants to dry before night.
The size Of the hotbed will depend
upon the amount Of acreage in field.
One six by six feet or the size of
two standard sash will be large E.
neugh 90 start plants to set an acre.
Boxes may be used to grow plants
for the small home garden. Put from
four to six inches of good rich loose
soil in the box and plant seed as you
would in the hot bed. The use of
manure is not necessary as the box
es are kept on the porch or on the
inside Of the house in window, CIV
ing the young plants the necessary
protection from cold.

Americans RdDe
Because Creeks
Delay a Landing

New York, July 3o.-Just outside
the three mile limit where cooling
breezes blow and cIinking glasses need
never be empty. 100 American citi-
gems, passengers aboard the Greek
linef Megalihellas, fumed and fretted
and got themselves all hot under the
collar today.
To no effect.
The skipper. wise TO the new immi-
grafton law, just won't bring his ship
in until the first of the month.
Greece has reached her quota OF
imm: grants for July. But Captain
Hayapis knows that If he can delay
his arrival until August 1. he can land
all of his Greeks under the August
quota.
The American citizens among his
passengers claim that this business OF
Greek meeting an emergency is al
very well, but they want to go ashore.
Wireless bombardment of Ellis Island
and Washington has proved futile.
Authorities say it is up to the line, so
Captain Hayapis swings in his ham
mock and lets them rave.
And the bar is open all day long.

ATTORNEYS DESERVE CREDIT
Did Good Work on Certificate of De-
post Cases, Says Anspaugh.

Attorneys employed by the Kansas
State Bankers association and not the
attorney generals office are entitled
to credit for winning the recent GER
tificate of deposit and acceptance
cases before Commissioner Hunt, ap-
pointed by the supreme court. That
was the assertion today of J. r. Ans
paugh. secretary of the State Bankers
association.
The state organization employed the
law firms of Stone & McDormott and
GODDARD & Myers, all of Topeka. to
represent the bankers in protection of
the guaranty fund. The attorney
generals office did not handle the
work, Anspaugh stated. AS result
of a recent report by Commissioner
Hunt, a total of $125,000 in accept
anees and certificates of deposit by
the defunct Kansas State bank of Sa-
lima were rejected. The commissioner
allowed but $4,000 for total claims
of $4,000. Total acceptanees of the
bank amount of practically $3.50, 900,
but the commissioner findings will
probably dispose of the remaining
claims.
while we realize the ability of the
attorney general" said Anspaugh to-
day, "he was oVerburdened and could
not give the bank cases special atten-
ton, so we employed private counsel.
They presented the case to the COM
missioner

chicago WEEKLY GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, July 30.-Sudden stoppage of
export buying has done much to bring
about lower prices in the wheat market
this week. Compared with a week ago,
wheat this morning showed losses ranging
from 1c to 21kc bushel, with corn varying
from A@Re decline to 1sc advance and
oats down 15s@2c to 31sc.
In provisions the net changes extended
from 12c decline to lie advance.
Wheat bulls put stress too on advices
that wheat by Belgium in Australia was
arriving out of condition and on statements
from Secretary Hoover that surplus grain
would be in demand for Europe. Besides,
a falling eff in country selling caused
opinion to gain ground that the maximum
Of receipts had been passed, so far az do
nestle winter wheat was concerned.
Later in the week, however, the Canadian
crop was reported to be a bumper" and
subsequently European demand seemed to
come almost to a halt Inquiry from do
