Country Club was picked for the air
plane landing place by the promOt-
ers of an air route across the state

out with committee from the Com
mercial club. The grounds commit
tee of the club house has not yet
acted to give permission. The level

ed II the alfalfa can be kept moved
down.
Nessrs. Hightower and Lggett,
who are promoting the matter, have.
they said, assurance that Wellling-
ton will be one location. Wichita,
Newton and Lindsborg are also con-
sidering 1t. The requirements are
that Abilene take 20 memberships at
$40 each and also equip the field. This
latter calls for a ring Of concrete
two feet wide, 100 feet In diameter
600 feet in all) painted white, also
15-ft. concrete letters giving the
designation Of the town. Abilene
would perhaps be K5-the X stand
ing for Kansas and the figure for the
number Of the station. Whitewash-
ed pebbles placed over the two foot
ring and letters would do instead Of
concrete. Mr.. Iightower estimated
that the marks could be built for
500.
1--WE do not operate any air
planes" he explained "but are mere
ly locating landing places for such
planes as come this way, just now
marking out route from Galveston
to Canada. We simply shall get
out a log book and maps, like an au-
tomobile logbOok, for operators Of
planes so that they can find their
way wherever they wish to go. show
ing them where landing places may
be found. 1t is a private enterprise
for the furtherance Of airplane use
and such mapping of routes will be
Of great assistance to flyers"
The committee to assist in locat-
ing the landing place was Hugh Gar
vie, P. @. Redman and VIII Green.
The directors Of the Business
Mems association met this afternoon
to make a final decision and If ac-
cepted arrange to secure the 20
members at $40 each annually.

Cooperative Banks
Merits of the bill to permit the
organization of cooperative banks
were developed from every angle al
a Joint hearing Of the committees on
banks and banking in Representative
hall last night.
Several representatives Of farm
organizations spoke in favor Of the
measure while J. r. Burrow, presi-
dent of the Central National bank OF
Topeka, gave his objection to it on
the ground that 1t was special legis-
iation to one class instead Of being
a general law affecting every one.
The right Of the farmer to handle
his own money In the manner he
chooses was one Of the main argu-
ments advanced in favor Of the bill.
To Assure Bonds
Purchasers Of Kansas municipal
bonds will have assurance that they
contain no legal flags If a bill now
under preparation is enacted in the
present session Of the legislature.
The bill provides for an attorney In
the state auditors office to scriutin-
ize the transcript Of bond proceed
ings before the bonds are officially
registered.
Norton A. Turner, state auditor,
points out that although more than
$27, 900, 900 worth of bonds was reg
istered by the state auditing depart
ment last year, the bonds were not
examined by any state department to
determine their legality, and as re-
suit inyestsrs could not. be sure OF
their real value. -
