brought this year which is an average
of three times as many as there were
during the three years previous, and
double the number filed in normal
times before the country went to war
Since the first district includes about
one-half of the state. and judging
from reports received from the other
two districts, it is estimated that the
total number of bankruptcy cases filed
in Kansas this year will reach approx
imately 500.
Many Voluntary Cases.
While it is estimated that from So
to 80 per cent of the cases brought
this year were voluntary, which is
about the usual percentage, the gen
eral nature of many of this years
cases are different inasmuch as it is
state probably half of the entire num-
Der were brought by farmers, who
on account of the low market for their
products have been caught with la
biIities in excess of their assets. As
a result the average amount involved
may be smaller than usual as many
of the farmers thrown into bankruptcy
were operating on a small scale.
Full details of the bankruptcy cases
filed are not made up until the end
of the fiscal year, but the following
are the number of cases filed each
year in the first division of the fed
eral court during the past eight years

The divorce figures quoted above
include suits for separate mainte-
nance and annulnent of marriages,
but these are comparatively few.
There were Is separate maintenance
suits filed this year as compared with
% last year and II in 1919. Five
marriages were annulled this year as
compared with one in 1920 and one
in 1919.
Find Out Each Other Early.
Husbands and wives appear to find
out at an early stage of their matri-
monial career whether they will be
able to get along together. Most of
the divorce suits are filed after from
one to five years of married life, al
tho in numerous cases the parties
have been married many years and
have grown children.

LITTLE TROUBLE:
TO SECURE WORK
ON COUNTY ROADS
VERY FEW WARRANTS HAVE
BEEN ISSUED FOR THOSE DIS
REGARDING SUMMONS.
FINE SPIRIT or COOPERATION
Superintendent Wilkes Declares That
People Have Shown Unusual Inter
est in Making improvements on the
Highways.

| Road work and road repairing in
Maury county, with the exception
Of few roads in The districts
is practically over for the pres
ent year. This statement was made
today by Burke Wilkes, superintend-
ent OF roads.
Practically all Of the road eommuta-
ton has been worked out on the roads
this year. Comparatively little Of it
has been paid in cash to the trustee.
On the contrary the bulk of - the
hands have eagerly and willingly
worked out" their time on the high
ways. This work as a rule has leen
done on the roads in the neightbor-
hood where the hands" live.
Generally speaking, said Mr. Wilkes,
there has been manifest in all parts
of the, county the finest spirit Of co,
Noporation on, the part of the citizens
For that reason the money expended
by the county has gone a long, long
way There have been thousands Of
loads Of gravel, altogether hauled on
the roads Of the. county that were con-
tributod by the people along the high
ways.
Next year the new law will really go
fully into effect. No wagon tax will be
payable next year but instead the
wagon will have to haul or the roads
Of the county The buggy tax is reduc-
ed to S1.0O. This will bring additional
thousands Of loads of gravel and rock
to the highways.
So far there has been little difficult
ty about the enforcement CT the com
mutation law Mr. Wilkes stated that
only three or four warrants had haen
issued against parties who resused or
failed to work the roads, A few more
warrants may be ecessary but the
number is very small as compared
with the thousands in the county who
are libable for the road communication
of SO either in cash or in work. Many
men have worked out their Gye days
and saved money. Tact if ey have
hired hands at Slips t. 2 day

In this present era OF erratic
spending and high prices it be-
hooyes the motor car owner who
intends to get the most out of his
vehicle for the minimum. expendi-
ture, that Is, for most of us, to
keep careful watch over bills and
the matters of operation and main
tenance that run into hills. When
the various products Of automotiye
use were cheap the temptation to
waste was almost irresistible. To-
day. however, there Is real need
for economy. The large majority
of car owners are ignorant OF
many OF the ways of saving money
on the upAeep and operation o:
their vehicles and they.should wei.
come q few hints as to methods Of
reducing the omnipresent bill. The
principal places wherelreal savings
may be effected are in fuel and oil
consumption, tire wear and gener-
gal wear and tear. The first item
to consider Is fuel and the car
owner should not scorn this small
) saving In this connection, for in
their aggregate they make a formid-
able total.
To begi1 with, every owner
should reduce the idling periods Of
his engine to the smallest possible
minimum; he should stop every
smallest gasoline leak; should
have the carburetor adjusted so
that II consumes the smallest guam
tity OF fuel consistent with eff
cient running. Attention. to these
three details OF operation and ad-
tustment will save many gallons
OF gasoline year for each motor
list who heeds the warning.
Friction Means Loss.
Next 1t Is essential to reduce to
Its inevitable minimum the fric-
tion in the mechanism, and this
must be accomplished by proper
fabrication. Freedom from carbon,

onomy. Efficient functioning II |
the ignition system is vitaIiy
important factor in any attempt
to obtain economy of fuel consum-

tion efficiency the owner must
