Obituary-Sherman Kirk

Sherman Kirk was born neal
indianapolis, Indiana, Oct. o, 1S4O
and departed this life at Orange
Calf, March 8, 1921 at the home
Of his daughter where he and his
wife were spending the winter. AT
the age Of 2 years he went with his
widowed mother to Iowa where he
remained until July l, 1861 when
he answered his country's call, en-
listing In Co. G, 9Th Iowa Infantry,
serving until the close OF the war,
being out years, l month and ii
days. When home on veteran fur-
lough he was married to Lucinda

He came to Kansas In 1857, setting
in the southeast part Of the state.
Two years later he homesteaded III

made his home until coming to Abb
lene In May, 1900. Mr.. Kirk was
converted in 1866 and united with
the Methodist church, of which ne
was a faithful member until death.
lie took deep interest in all the
affairs of the church, was liberal In

ings showed the esteem In which
Mr.. Kirk was held.

STILL AFTER MEMORIAL
q. A. r. And Historic Society Re-
new Efforts for Appropriations

The present legislature has not
felt disposed to appropriate $125,-
600 for the purpose, but the Kansas
department OF the Grand Army OF
the Republic and the State Histori-
cal Society will renew their efforts
nt the next session for erection or q
memorial to the First Kansas infan-
try In the vicksburg National Mill
tary Park, vicksburg, Miss.
The 1919 legislature enacted a
law authorizing the governor to
name n commission to consider ana
recommend a suitable memorial to
be erected on the area known as the
Kansas Circle, comprising about an
acre, in the vicksburg National MIL
itary Park. Governor Allen ap-
pointed Ira II. Collins Of Sabetha,
Theodore Gardner Of Lawrence and
w. w. Bowman Of Topeka.
The memorial structure proposed
by the commission, would include a
heroic statue Of Abraham Lincoln
by George Grey Barnard, an Ameri-
can sculptor. To the right Of Lin
coin would be a life statue in bronze
of Charles Robinson, Civil war vet
eran of Kansas. And to the left
would be life size in bronze Of
George w. Deitzler, colonel Of the
First Kansas Volunteer regiment Of
infantry, which was mustered into
service under the first call for vOlun-
teers and served four years and six
months

FIRST TRACTOR ? YEARS AGO
Kansas Farmers Saw First Demon
tration In Newton

Seven years ago this spring the
tractor plow was first brought u
the attention of Kansas farmers
generally by demonstration neal
Newton. Now there are more than
1900 tractors In the state, II Is -
timated by J. G. Mohler, secretary
of the state Board Of Agriculture
The first tractor was imported ID
Kansas for the purpose az demon
strating that il could do more plow'
ing than could a mnle- power oatnt
The following year a similar demon
stration was given at Hutchinson
The demonstrations stirred much tn'
terest. and the increase In tractors
especially In late years, has been
fast. The greatest showing Is In the
year 1919 when the number wss IN
creased 65 per ceut over the year
preceding.
The entire change In design In
tractors has taken place In this
span Of few years, II Is recalled
that the first tractors were enormous
affairs, looking more like locemo-
tive than a farm implement. Due
to the slump in the price OF farm
products, the increase this year Is
estimated at. less than third OF
that of two years ago. Secretary
Mohler estimates the increase on
January 1, 1921, over a year ago, at
90 per cent.

THEY CAN TALK HOME
Third of Dickinson School Houses
Have Telephones

Remember a few years ago how
difficult 1t was to get in touch with
the school house? Now the telephone
is putting the teacher In touch with
every home.
Miss Mary Woolverton, superin-
tendent Of Dickinson county, says
"At least third Of our 1913 county
schools have telephones. They are a
great advantage. Parents may be
in touch with their children; storm
warnings can be given and the con
venience assists greatly In school
work. Many are on party lines put
that makes no difference. Every
school house should have Its tele-
phone. The teacher Is kept In touch
with the school board and the schooi
house is made community center
in larger sense"

HIGHER, MOTOR TAX NOW
Cars VIII Pay So to $40 For Licenses
After july LIST


Records at the automobile license
bureau Of the secretary of states
office today show there are 277,000
motor cars in Kansas. This is 1000
above the mark set for the current
year. year ago. when the state
ordered 275,00O license tags. Fiji
teen thousand additional tags are
now on hand, the department esti-
mating that the number Of licenses
will run up around 100000 by July
1. the start Of new fiscal year. If
that figure is reached, 1t will mean
one motor car for every six persons
I'm the state and will represent an
increase over the 1920 total number
of $4,000 cars.
The new automobile license law,
passed by the present Legislature.
promises to. return revenue OF
approximately $3.622,OOO next year.
Mr.. Connell has figured that the
light cars which would come under
the minimum weight of 2.O00
mounds and which would pay the
minimum tax Of $S year, number
fifty per cent Of the cars In the
state. The license on heavier cars
ranges upwards at the rate OF hfty
cents for each additional hundred
hounds above 1000, to maximum
of $50. An average license tax to
he paid by the heavier grade OF cars
is estimated at $15.
Estimating the increase In the
number of cars next year at 25,OOo
considered conservative as com
pared with the increase of 33'OoO
the current year-the total In l922
would reach 10000. Half of these
cars paying an So license would re-
turn a total Of $2,362, 500, making a
total of $3,622,500. Under the law
each county would have for road i'm
provement and building the amount
paid in motor license fees within
that county.
The new law provides that the H.
cense fee shall be paid the first OF
each calendar year, rather than the
present system which requires pay
ment at the fisrt Of each hscal
wear, beginning July I. The present
licenses expire July 1. The new
law, therefore, provides that on July
1 motor car owners must pay SIX
months license fee. Then next Jan
uary /. and each January 1 there
after the annual license fee will fall
due. The same wasteful method OF
sending out tags by mail from To-
peka at cost Of cents each Will
be continued, waste OF about
$4,000 a year to furnish employ
ment to an army of clerks at To-
neka
