GRANT BUCKNER EXTRADITION
Will Face Charge of First Degree
Murder in Missouri.

Governor Allen this afternoon grant
ed the extradition sought by Governor
Arthur NJ. Hyde for delivery of Will
liam c. Buckner to Missouri to face a
charge of first degree murder. Buck
ner is wanted on a charge of killing
Clifford Rhea. A Wyandotte county,
Kansas, justice of the peace, recently
held Buckner for trial on the murder
charge in this state.
Application of the state of Missouri
for right to try Buckner was presented
to Governor Allen last Saturday. Two
of Rheas sons, as well as one of his
employees eye witnesses to the kill
ing-made affidavit that the shooting
was IS feet beyond the state line in
Missouri. Irregularities in the extra
dition application caused it to be re-
turned to Governor Hyde twice. When
Governor Allen returned from Chicago
this afternoon he approved the appli-
cation.
In Missouri Buckner will face capi-
tai punishment if convicted of the
crime. He will also be denied bail
under the Missouri law pending trial
of the case. A strong fight was made
in his behalf in resisting the removal
order.
Governor Allen stated this afternoon
that a conviction in Kansas would be
impossible under the statements of the
another state. Both Buckner and a
companion contend that the shooting
was in Kansas. Buckner and his COM
panion were special agents of the
Missouri Pacific railroad. The shoot
ing occurred after Missouri Pacific
switching crew backed into Rhea' S
automobile.

LOOK FOR CASHIER
Shortage of McCune Bank May
Reach $4,000.
State Is Now Searching for H.
L. DOlSOn.

Depositors of the Farmers State
bank of McCune probably will find
the institution short s25,OO0, in addi
ton to Liberty bonds and other Sc
curities lost when safety boxes are
alleged to have been looted. The
state is now looking for H. I. Dol
son, cashier. Dispatches from Pitts
burg today are to the effect that the
cashier has not been seen since We'd
nesday morning.
Efforts of a bank examiner to open
the bank vault failed until today. Sc
curitieS placed in the strong box were
missing. So was the cashier. A
young woman employed in the bank
said she had been instructed by Dol
son to notify state department rep
resentatives that the securities had
been sent to Kansas City for CONVEX
sion.
Loss Will Amount to $25 900.
Examination of the books by rep
resentatives from the state banking
department today indicated a loss of
not less than $4,000. This is in ad-
dition to securities placed in the bank
for safe keeping. Investigation has
revealed that all of the bonds as well
as other securities have disappeared.
Losses of the bank are guaranteed
under the state bank guaranty law.
Ih1S assures protection to depOsitorS.
Failure Of the McCune bank is the
third heavy state bank failure in the
last few weeks. Closing of the Spring
Hill State bank a few weeks ago may
mean a loss of $135,OOO. The Citizens
State bank of Manhattan was closed
this week. An assessment of at least
100 per cent on the 100000 worth of
stock will be necessary to cover losses.
McCune Bank Closed.
Closing of the McCune bank fol-
lowed rumors several days ago that
the institution was in trouble. This
report followed the disappearance of
a motor car agent said to be involved
with the bank.
DolsOn has for a number of years
been prominent in banking affairs in
Crawford county. His father. E. S.
DOlson, is president of the bank altho
he has not been active in handling of
its affairs. Miss Katherine Dolson, a
daughter of the banker, was d student
in Kansas University last year and was
to have gone to Washington to attend
a finishing school this fall Mrs Dol
son is sick in a sanitorium in Colorado.
The McCune bank was capitalized It
$4,000 with $1,000 surplus. 1t car
ried deposits of $150,000.

Eight New Cases Here.
Eight new cases of diphtheria were

Here j are IRE facts that
interest the mother
and. father of eUery
child In America
Are you paying enough attention to the
energy value of your children's food?

THE SCIENCE OF PROPER NUTRITION is one
i of the most modern of all exact sciences. We
finding out new things about food every day.
Just to eat any kind of food isn't enough You must eat
the right kind of food to get the best nutrtve results
There are foods that build up the SYSTEM and there
are other foods that supply heat and energy to run
the system. E.. ne.
The most important of all these energy foods is
Dextose the fully converted sugar that absorbed
directly into the blood
What Is DextrOse?
You could not live long without Dextrose. The starch
and sugar in all the food you ea-bread vegetables
rice potatoes or fit-must be changed into Dextrose
before your system can use it as an energy food
These scientific facts, supported by the very high
est authorities.
There is avery large percentage of Dextrose in Karo
syrup and Karo ITSELF in form to be most easily
digested and absorbed into the system.
This is why food experts everywhere are recommend
ing karo-the great energy food for children as well
for everyone who works hard and uses up lot of
vitality.
Why Children Must Have Plenty =
of Nourishing Food
Children need more food than adults Their active
life and more rapid growth demand in proportion to
their weight just about twice the amount of food
grown person needs.
The Washington times., 1921-03-13
GREEN Karo

Favored with highest grade real maple sugar. Very
moderate in prce-absOlutely pure. The makers of
karO are the worlds largest users of the highest
grade maple sugar-0ver thousand tons used an
nually.
The Washington times., 1921-03-13
RED Karo

The Ideal Syrup for every use-for cooking baking,
candy making and preserving Because of its honey
like appearance many prefer it spread for cakes,
biscuits, breads.
The Washington times., 1921-03-13
YOUR PROTECTION

Do not be deceived by cans containing syrup that
might look like Karo The name "Karo" is on every
of original Karo-look for it, and be assured of
full weight cans and highest quality.
The Washington times., 1921-03-13
BLUE Karo

The standard table syrup. Also for cooking, baking
and candy making. Light brown color, delicious
favor-a heavybodied syrup.
The Washington times., 1921-03-13

The best sweets child have those most easily
digested and converted into Dextrose. This is one
reason why over two hundred million cans of Karo
sold last year. -..
What Some Authorities Say About
KarO and Dextr0se
Dr. Edwin f. Bowers, noted writer on foods, says,
"Karo is of the most valuable of all energy foods
for growing children. 1t is unusually palatable, and
its heavy dextrose content makes it ideal food for
little human dynamos in short dresses and. kncker
bockers''
Dr. William H. Porter authority on food and diet,
says that dextrose develops increased resistance to
fatigue and greater capacity for sustained mental
and physical effort. The system shows more
stability Children seem to develop better color,
as well as increase in the appetite and in the
capacity for assimilating food
Dr. William j. Gies Professor of Chemistry at Co.
umbia Medical School, says" Quantities Of dextrose
equal to reasonably large shares of the requirements
for heat-yelding material, may be eaten daily in
definitely, with high nutritive advantage"
Give your children all the Karo that Nature tells
them to eat.
Serve Karo on well-done pancakes. Spread Karo on
sliced bread. Make Karo into pure homemade can
dies, and use Karo in all your cooking and baking
The Washington times., 1921-03-13

A child uses up lot of energy in active play and
study. This explains the perfectly natural craving
of almost every normal child for sweets such Karo
The best sweets child can have those most easily
digested and converted into Dextrose This is one
reason why over two hundred million cans of Karo
were sold last wear.
